There would appear to be no longer any reason
why the bill before the Assembly to pro
vide for the retirement Of the Bridge Trus-
tees, and the appointment of smaller Board
BIZ the Mayors Of New-York and Brooklyn,
should not at once be passed. President Kingsley,
of the Bridge is reported to have said that he and
his colleagues were anxious that the bill
should become law, as they desire to "step
down and out" 1t seems that Senator Jacobs Is
the person blocking the way. lie is pursuing his
familiar game by asking that the bill be held IN
committee until he can be heard. He has defeated
for several years the passage of bill to reduce
pIlotage fees by similar tactics Whenever the com
mittee is ready to hear him he is always ILL., Last

committee met. The Senate, however, refused to
be humbngged and accepted the report Of the COM
mittee Now that Mr.. Kingsley favors the Bridge
bill the Assembly ought not to await another day
the convenience of Senator Jacobs.
Already the cry is going up from prominent Dem
ocratic newspapers that il the Roosevelt bill passes
the Senate, Governor Cleveland must veto 1t. Ot
course he must If he cares about partlSanshlp
than about the welfare of the great city of New
York.
Controller Chaplin has been exhibiting more OF
the Democratic love for Civil Service Reform. He
did not turn out all of the Republican clerks in his
Office before the Civil Service act took effect on
January t. as was done by some of the other Demo-
cratic State officials and this led to the report that
he proposed to comply fully with the spirit of the
statute But the Civil Service law does not prevent
removals from being made at will, although the
supposition was that this could only be done for
cause. Mr.. Chaplin has taken advantage or the
clause to remove within few weeks. ten Repub-
lican subordnates and fill their places with Demo-
Gratis These removals have been made on the al
legged ground Of ncompetency, although the men
removed in some instances have served through
several administrations. they were the most ex-
perlenced men in tie Office. 1t is noticeable that
IN no instance has Mr.. Chaplin found any Demo
cratic clerk incompetent though there were several
employed in the Office.

FJGUTING KELLY AGAIN.

Tie Boston Post declines to wait until the Ma
tional Democratic Convention shall have been
held before proceeding TO open the campaign
on it's own account. 1t begins the exercises on
this occasion by jumping upon an eminent
Democratic leader of this State, with both feet
The eminent Democratic leaders name is John
Kelly. Mr. Kelly is accustomed to being
trodden under foot by his political brethren -
perhaps he even takes pleasure in the operation
=" the massage system" being beneficial to
some constitutions Nevertheless, the attack
of The Post may disturb his composure, seeing
that 1t is unusually sharp. Mr.. Kelly is spoken
of as q this bullet-headed traitor" this vulgar
and long suffered ring ruler of the metropolis"
and his associates are denounced as "plug-
uglies" and picturesque following of slum-
gullions.p The immediate cause of this out
burst of wrath is a recent article in Ihe Ae1-

THE TIRE, -BARRELLED PARTY.


The Democrats have decided to take month,
after the Republican National Convention has
adjourned, to consider what they had better do
about it, All this is natural The Republican
party, having principles, is willing to proclaim
them. The Democratic party, having only
hunger, waits to find out what it can promise
with the best chance of getting office. The
Republicans lose nothing by holding an early
convention. They have record, which commits
them TO certain principles, and as to those con-
venton could not change the attitude of the party
in the public estimation if it desired The Demo
Gratis, by holding late convention, only confess
what everybody knows, that their only principle
is to get Office If they can and that they are ready
to make whatever professions may seem, in the
light of circumstances, most likely to secure
success. DO far, both parties take the position
which belongs to them, and which sincere Re-
publicans desire to see them take.
Chicago, for the Democrats, means another
dodge. aCarter Harrison's protectionist mob
Democrats say, will Overwhelm the convention,
and frighten it out of any avOwal of hostility
to the protective tariff. Therefore MIR. Nor
rison is indignant. Knowing that fonr-fifths OF
his party agrees with his ultra free trade
notions, he wants to have its aims boldly pro-
claimed, and then, if NewYOrk, New-Jersey
and Ohio must be abandoned. he would hoDe for

economical government " are invited to send dele

if they are to regard themselves as invited.
Mr.. Ruskin has been contributing his mite toward
the oiucidation Of the red sunset question: aud as
was to be expected he takes original view of the
phenomenon. According to him the upper air has
been detiled by the sins of the world and the red
sunsets are significant of moral EVIL. Plague-couds
formed OF tho souls of the departed wicked, sweep
through the armament, and darken all the air and
render the twilight and the sunsets impure. Plague
winds, freightod in the same gruesome fashion,
make men shver and withor and bleach the grass
and kill the flowers The of its own iniquity,
says Mr. RuslSin Is coming upon the world, and the
red sunsets foroshadow disaster and woe. All this

the Aldermen and the Roosevelt Hlgh License
bill. The meeting in Chickering Hall, unuer
the auspices of the Church Temperance society
last night. was called especially to support the
latter measure; but, as was aptly salu Dy one
of the sneakers. the two bills go hand in
hand: each will weaken the influence OF the
liduor-sellers in the affairs OF tlks city, Inc
principal speakers last night in favor OF tue
High License bill were MIR. Beecher, Juhge
Davis and the Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby. Ab-
stracts from their addresses are given elsewhere
in this paper.
The passage of the Mcpherson banking bill
by the Senate, and the decision of the House
Committee Yesterday to prefer it to various bills
which have been under consideration, renderS
ii probable that the country may be enabled to
give this Congress credit for at least one p'ooo
of useful legislation. The Mcpherson Dill, as
has been stated, is not by any means peIioc'
measure. 1t is not the remedy that OonS.oe9
ought to apply. But it is clearly the pest
that this Congress is willing to apply, ana inc
circumstances are such that some Legislation III
that direction has become absolutely necessary.
1t is entirely proper-indeed, it is the duty OF
Republicans-to point out that Congress can
do and ought to do better thing. but IL
seems none the less their duty to secure the
passage of the best measure that can be oD-
tanned from this Democratic Congress.
At every session of the Assembly in tho last
few years some one has proposed bill provld-
ing for the repavement of Fifth-ave. below
Fifty -ninth-st.; and every time the measure
has concealed some job and therefore has failed
to become law. Consequently the avenue,
which needs requirement. badly, is left IN lts
wretched condition. The measure introduced
in the Senate yesterday by Mr.. NJ. Z. Muir
phy is lust as bad as those which have preceded
it. 1t provides for repavement as far as Nine
tieth-st. That is not needed above flfty-
ninth-st. OF course the work ought not to be
done by the Department of Public works;
and vet the commission proposed by Mr. Mur-
ply will not do. Why go to Brooklyn Tor

The strike at Fall River seems to be breaking
ND. Three mills began work again yesterday,
and the number of hands in factories which
never entirely stopped work is reported to be
increasing This indicates that the labOrers
are beginning to see the folly of strike at this
time at least 1t is pity that they did not per-
ceive this month ago. These few weeks of
idleness have cost them many thousand dollars
in wages.

Prisons and prison management are SUBJ
jects likely to be well discussed in this city
this week. The meeting held in Grace Hall
yesterday was made up of ministers resident in
this State. The gatherings to be held during
the rest of the week will be under the auspices
OF the National Prison Association, and it is
hoped that many men interested in prison re-
form from all parts of the Union will be pres
ent. The scope Of the discussion Is wide and
most of those who are expected to take part in
1t are men of experience In the work of re-
forming criminals. Doubtless the Prison Labor
Commission will be able to get some excellent
hints from these proceedings.
