an AGITATTON WHICH AEU-IORK NEEDS
Ohio. Iowa, Kansas and other Western States
have been profoundly agitated OF late with
regard to the sale of intoxicating liquors. Is 1t
not time for temperance agitation of the
right sort in New York ? Not in the direction
of a prohlbitory amendment to the Consttu-
ton. 1t would be the height of absndiIy, for
the present at least 10 propose such an amend
ment in such State, though extreme prohibi-
tionists might be satisfied with nothing short
of it. They are always Insisting upon the
wildly impossible. But an agitation that
would lessen the power of the dram shops IN
the city government and in the Legislature. and
would send men to Albany who would make
laws in the interest of the respectable classes
rather than for the benefit OF tpplers and bar
keepers, is much needed. This community Is
too sluggish and apathetic on this subject.
When the Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby began his
brave and necessary work for the enforcement
of the Excise law, he should have had the active
support of all good citizens. But the number
of persons who were willing TO devote time
and labor and money to this important under
taking was very small. DR.. Crosby accom-
plished something, but he could have accom-
plished far more if he had had the earnest, in
telligent cooperation which men of public
spirit should have been glad to give. This was
no fantastic dream of bigoted fanatic. 1t
was simply a wcll-cOnsidered, vigorous attempt
to compel city officials to carry out the law
which they had sworn to execute But Dr.
Crosby was not properly supported by the
people Of New-York, and jury was got to-
gether in the rum interest which ventured TO
acQuit the indicted Excise Commissioners in
the face of the most complete and convincing
proof of their guilt.
Now the keepers of corner groggeries have
matters their own way. They have an Excise
Board to their liking, which grants licenses in
reckless profusion, the Commissioners concern
ing themselves very little about the character
OF the application if the applicant can get the
ainfiuence" of ward politician in his favor
They have a Police Department which can
rarely be induced to arrest. offenders of this
class. And even if arrests are made there will
be no undue haste about indictments, for liquor
sellers are never without sympathetic ana
useful friends la the District Attorneys Office
They have one friend who can be particularly
valuable TO them. II is the rule and not the
exception for the counsel to the Excise Board

The Keely case is assuming a new phase.
II looks now as if the assailant, if he is ever
caught, could make out strong case of self
defence Testimony at the COroDer's inquest
indicates that Keely struck the man who APP
preached him over the adj with bis club,
and that he received in return the fatal blow.
II is not for lack of witnesses certainly that
the truth cannot be learned. The Coroner
has an assorted lot under lock and key, and as
many more ready to be produced at mo-
menfs notice The more they testify the
more mixed the case is. One says positively
that the assailant had red beard; another Is
equally certain that it was black streaked
with gray. Apparently all the persons in the
trouble were pretty badly intoxicated at the
time, including the detective and the women

The District Attorney is striking directly at
the root OF the evil in securing indictments
against property owners who rent their houses
to dsorderly persons. They are as much to
blame for consequent crime as the tenants.
The effort To bring an indictment, even II 1t is
not successful has a good effect. Many OF these
landlords occupy respectable positions IN
society, and there is nothing that they dread
more than. being found out. They would
rather lose a profitable tenant than to see their
names published in the newspapers III con
nection with such matters.
The Senate has wisely come to partial halt
in regard to the appropriation for the iIcnnepin
Canal. From the beginning the scope of the
work has not been clearly enough defined. More
definite knowledge OF the cost and the benefits to
be derived is demanded. The authorization
to begin actual work has been stricken out OF
the appropriation bill, leaving only authority to
make a survey OF the route and an estimate oil
the cost of construction and maintenance.
Probably when this has been done 1t Will appear
that public policy requires that aid from
the National Government shall end there.
The victory of the Hllsdale men over the
MARROW crew will be some consolation to these
persevering amateurs, but it will hardly make
their trip as whole satisfactory. They have
been treated shabbiy. Everybody knows that
the Hillsdale men are amateurs who have won
the championship in three National regattas
in this country. But the English have seemed
determined that in one field they would allow
no American q chance to carry of the honors
victory for an American crew III the Henley
regatta would be equivalent to victory by
an American horse in the Derby. Apparently

The delegates from the sanitary and rural
imnrovement societies who are holding
= meeting at Greenwood Lake, n. D.,
have a good work in hand The health and
beauty of small towns aud cities through
ont the country could be immeasur-
ably improved by the active existence of one
of these societies in each. Any country physi-
elan can tell discOuraging tales about the way
disease is bred in villages and towns owing to
the lack of proper sanitary arrangements.
This is particularly true of places much ire
ouented rs summer resorts. And the most
hurried traveller, as he is whrled along, sees
enough bunging in characterization and I'M
provemcnts in every village through which he
passes to pain him if he has an eye for beauty.
The good that few intelligent residents can
do their fellow-citzens through some organ
ization of this kind would be a surprise to those
who have not tried it. If the towns health
is good, it will give society enough to do to
look after the foliage alone. Few trees are
properly selected, planted or cared for, even III
large cities. The scope of the discussions OF
the delegates at Greenwood Lake is perhaps
little wide, but if the cause OF rural improvement
alone is advanced ever so little by their meet
ings their time will not have been wasted.

THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
A Legacy of the Tweed Regime.
EVIDENCE OF FRAUD FROM FIRST
TO LAST.

New YORK, Sept 18.-The World publishes
ten-coumn exposure of suspicious transac-
tlons in connection with expenditures on the
Brooklyn bridge. Summing up, it says that
the influences which presided over the incep-
ton and planning of this great enterprise in
the days OF Boss Tweed have presided over ii
ever since and preside over it to-day; that the
books and accounts of the bridge are full of
forgeries, misrepresentation and errors in cal
culation, and that they are confused and COM
plicated in manner which in the books of a
private concern would instantly excite suspic-
ion and provoke legal inquiry and action; that
from first to last every important action in
connection with the outlay of money upon this
great public work has been more or less dis
tinctly attended with suspicion. The evidence
here presented shows how Chief Engineer
Roebling bought steel for rebuilding works,
how President Murphy paid large fees for
searching titles to Murphy as lawyer, how
Vice President Kingsley not only bought
granite to the amount of 81 900, 900 from COM
panies developed out of other companies. but
boughtsand and machinery from one of his
own business partners. and hooks Indication
