THE BRIDGE AND ITS BENEFITS.

No city has more thoro ughly tested and
proved the truth of the proposition that that
which benefits and develops the whole i'm
proves every part, than New York has done in
a score of great enterprises. We have had
narrow, local opposition raised against every
great project which has been suggested or be-
gun. This opposition has retarded some and
defeated many improvements yet every one
of the enterprises which overcame it has dem
onstrated the folly of the 0utcry. We seem to
learn little by experience, and the same OPP
position jumps up in the face of every public
work which is planned for the general advant-
age.
One can hear, IL one chooses to listen to the
acroaking ravens of various localities likely
to be changed and temporarily damaged by the
opening of the Bridge, endless forebodings
about the ultimate benefit of the Bridge TO
Brooklyn mt the expense of New-York. Well,
years ugo il was said that Central Park would
benefit property owners uptown at the ex-
pense of those who owned downtown property.
To-day IL would be difficult TO find one owner
between the Battery and the Park who has not
been the gamer by the development of that
pride of the whole metropolis. We heard it
prophesied that the construction of the elevated
railways was 10 result In destroying important
thoroughfares already built up for the benefit
of Harlem flats on which nobody had pre-
Won sly had the temerity to build. What has
been the result The flats have been or are
being largely built up with handsome resi-
dsnces. At the other terminus of the routes
the buildings have doubled in height and ca
pacity, and where a resident family has been
driven out and transferred to the opposite end of
the island, business firm has more than filed
its place And In the thoroughfares through
which the roads run there have been great
changes, but they have been actual and visible
benefits to the property in almost every case.
Changes will undoubtedly follow tho opening
of the Bridge, the completion of the railway
across il, and the eventual extension of the ele
waited system to all parts Of Brooklyn. But
there is no reason to believe that these changes
will be otherwise than beneficial to New
York generally. That which affects one city
affects propUrtionately the other. Brooklyn
may take, and probably will take, away from
New-York the surplus OF the tenement-house
population in. the regions of The SWAMP" and
q The Points," but much of the capital which
will replace the tenements by manufactures
| will como from Brooklyn to NewYork. Trade
and manufacture must inevitably drive out
mere residents from the lower part of the city ;
and it is of little real consequence whether the
labor employed therein by day sleeps in Har-
lem or lust across the river. The general ben
| eft of such growth, development and progress
will fall alike upon both cities, which in
| m aterial interests are one metropolis.

VALOABLE EXPERT OPINION.

4 Senator Beck lis probably one of the most ac-
c0mplished blundcr experts in the Democratic
party. For one entire session of the Senate he
was the party's head blundercr. lie rolled up
an unprecedented grand total of blunders with
a handsome daily average of two. When Mr..
Beck comes before the public, Therefore, to
make few remarks upon the destructive quail
ity of blunders it is proper to recognize his as
the voice of authority He says that at present
everything indicates Democratic success In
1884. The party now has everything in its
own hands, Whether 1t will he able TO main
tain its grip depends entirely, Mr.. Beck adds,
upon the action of the next House OF Represent
atives. Too many blunders there will be sure
to upset the Democratic applicant and leave
the party out of Job for another four years.
1t is only few days since THE TRIBUNE al-
vised the Democratic platform builders to quit
work, and leave the job for the new Congress
to complete 1t was and is our opinion that
the conduct Of the Democracy in the House
will speak much louder than any resolutions.
We are glad to have the reinforcement OF ex-
pert opinion on this point. Mr.. Beck says there
are many Republicans who would like to vote
with the Democrats, but are afraid to trust
them, and that what the Democracy must do
to make success certain is to so conduct itself
as to inspire confidence in Its capacity and in
tegrity. Here again he comedies partially
with THE TRIBUNE. We doubt if many gen
uine Republicans ever think seriously of vot-
ing with the Democrats, but there are undoubt-
edly many Independent voters who are re-
strained from acting with the Democrats be-
cause of lack of confidence in either their abi
ity or disposition to govern well Mr.. Beck
will see soon after Congress opens, that his
worst fears have been realized, and that his
party will once more lose lis chances of success
by sho wing in the same old way that it does
not deserve success.

OBSTRUCTION IN THE COMMONS.

Mr.. Gladstone has adopted the policy which
was recommended by the National Liberal
Club at its recent meeting in London. One
of its resolutions urged the desirability of
keeping Parliament sitting until all the bills
mentioned In the Queens Speech should be
acted upon. The Premier has dropped one
important measure, the London Municipality
bill, but he has determined to persevere with
every other legislative proposal, aud, If ne
cessary, to prolong the session until late in the
autumn. This, then, is the first consequence
of deliberate attempt to organize party opin-
ion on large scale. The new Liberal Club
has a large number of members representing
the party in the leading constituencies through
out tho United Kingdom. Its main purpose,
as Lord Granville has faucifuly remarked, is
to enable the party whips to apply the lubri-
eating oil of provincial opiuion to the machin-
cry of Parliament. 1t has served this pur-
pose in the first instance by informing the
Cabinet that whatever may be the prevailing
opinion in London, the Liberal constituencies
In the provinces are convinced that the Com
mons should be forced to do the work which
they have persistently neglected doing. The

The second day of the meeting at Ascot
Heath yesterday was marked by the victory
of Mr.. J. r. Keene's colt Blue Grass in the
rsce for the Biennial Stakes. This will be
eratifyng to all who take an interest in
American horses abroad; but it is not great
victory, as the race was not one for important
stakes. Americans have been unlucky In the
sreat races this year; but although the great
prizes are apparently now out of reach, yet
moro horses than Blue Grass may still have merit
enough to win in some of the minor events
The exercises at West Point this year prom
Ice to be unusually interesting, the routine
being varied by the unveiling of monument
to General Thayer, one of the first superin-
tendents of the academy. The work Of the
cadets during the year just ending is said to
have been exceptionally thorough, and the
results proportionasely good. The condition
Of the grounds is also better than in the past
This record of the academy since West Point
was transformed from department into a
post will be highly pleasing to the advocates
Of the change, and to the friends of General
Merritt, the present superintendent.
The concessions which Pri. 80 Bismarck has
made to Catholics in his bill modifying the

State to the Church In Prussia) are SO liberal
that when the matter comes to vote, probably
the Chancellor will once more have the pleasure
Of seeing one Of his measures passed by a
large majority. This has been novel sensa-
tion for him during late years. but the Con-
eervatives win support him, Of course, and

II can at least be said for the Democrats Oh
Iowa that they have courage enough TO say
what they mean plainly. At their State Con-
yention yesterday, they neither tried to dodge
nor to stradde the tariff question. as their
brethren in Kentucky did few days ago;
but they came out squarely, and declared IN
favor of tariff for revenue only. The tarin
legislation of the last Congress was aiso
vigorously denounced. This is the kihd VI
talk which gives more pleasure to the hepup-
licans than to the average Democrats ioi '"0
leaders in the protection wing OF the Demo
cratic party realize that every free-trade plank
in q State platform means wider and conse-
seouentlv more painful stradde at their next
National Convention. The nominations Tor

The prediction that the authorities OF the
State of New-Jersey would oppose the scheme
to bring water to this city from the Ramapo
Valley is already verified. Newark, Paterson
and Jersey City, places which depend for
their water supply on the Passaic, the
principal feeder Of which Is the
Ramapo, have taken quick alarm, ana
legal proceedings are threatened. There does
not seem to be much need, If any, at present
of additional schemes to bring water to this
city; and some good reasons have been ad-
vanced why the Sinking Fund Commissioners
should do nothing to encourage this latest
undertaking. But all these considerations
aside, it is hard to see just what the New
Jersey authorities are going to do about 1t.
The point from which the company ap-
parently intends to take the water, lies entirely
within the jurisdiction of New-York. Little
reliance can be placed on Interstate comfy In
such matter.
