4 STORM WdRNING.

The one-thrd-of-a-cent war between me HeTdtd
and the newsdcalcrs has assumed s. rtlIng ana
most unexpected character. Stimulated by oppose
ton and apparently-wo say 1t under reserVo-"la-
turbcd from the even balance of its mind by the
failure of its attempt to regulate the business OF
other people The Herald announced yesterday that
if the Aldermen presumed to deny its application
for free nuarters Oh the sidewalks it would proceed
forthwith TO execute q comprehensive municipal
revolution 1t is true that whether the Aldermen
adopted " the scurrOus Tammany report IN regard
TO The Herald news-stands" or not made no differ
euce at all TO that paper because 1t meant TO sell ts
own wares even (mark the delicious humor OF the
proyiso even if it bad hire shops for the purpose
but il might make great deal of difference to the
Aldermen, and to Tammany and indeed 10 tue
people generally; and in order that the public.
which to some extent has stopped reading Inc Her.
ad NAV know what is coming, we reprint the pro-
cramme of the threatened municipal catastrophe:
l. In the first place, kelly must go.' This is
ALWAYS the opening piece in The HedtdS revolu-
tionary performances, and it has been received SO
often with thunders of applause that its regular re-
petition is anticipated as a matter OF course: we
recall many thrilling execution OF TINS faminar
piece and although it cannot be SAID that nelly
has ever gone TO an appreciable extent, ms oDst-
macy in remaining does not affect the spirit OF the
band: on the contrary, it is rather an advantage
because of course if he went the piece could not be
played again. III
2 The Aldermen must go. 1t Is true that Inc
Herald has maintained heretofore that Aldermen
ought to have moro power but II is frank enough TO
say that il is not above changing its mind and that
# Roards of Aldermen can be found to ratify sour
rilons Ta,nnanv reports in regard to Herald news
stands if is plain that Boards of Aldermen ought
MT TO have any hand whatever i'll government.
Albany will be musical with that argument TINS
winter" il predicts; and it adds the remark, we
have written great deal on that subject our
selvcsr coupled with the alarming intimation that
if means to resume tho narrowing exercise. Tins
beons TO look serious. What with church bells,
steam whistles elevated railway trains, and Ihe
| ueraM writing great deal itself, on that OF any
other subject Ncw-York is getting TO be bad place
g. All street stands must go, especially news
stands The Herald will make census of sidewalk
wonders. except those who sell The Herald for two
cents. and then there will be 81 war for clear
Streets 1t is not quite plain how The Herald can
very well take up such cause after compromising
itself 80 deeply with the opposite party, but nobody
| knows how sharp a corner some papers can turn
until he secs them try their agility. Naturally the
public-sprited journal which Is going TO aDollsh
applewomen, boot-blacks, peanuts and pedlcrs
will BEGIN by Kidding the metropolis of its own
street circulation. 1t will execute its misty threat
of hiring its places of business, instead oil getting
them ont Of the Aldermen by blackma-hirhg
shop being course of procedure not at all uncom-
mon with other rich manufacturers who wish TO
get for themselves the profits of the retail trade IL
will then sternly refuse to be sold by any street
dealer whatever; and it declares that 1t has mill
! ions OF money in the business and does not mind
expensc. we do not SEQ why it does not take tins
obvious step Of hiring shops Immediately Then 1t
can snap Its fingers at Aldermen, recover It's eqa-
nimty, and go right into tho war for clear streets
If if will write great deal on that subject itself,
the citizens will feel that something must be done
No doubt it will begin as soon as Kelly has gone
