THE SpEdh EESHIP.

The animated but friendly Republican can
vass for the Speakcrship was happily ended last
evening. The caucus nominated Mr. Erwin, Oi
ST. Lawrence. who is fitted by character, ability
and legislative experience to make an excellent
presiding officer. Mr.. Erwin has been mem
Der of Assembly for the last three years, and his
present success over number OF strong anu
popular candidates Is a tribute to the hdeiity
and efficiency with which his fellow-members
think he has discharged his public duties. 1t Is
also to be noted in referring TO the reasons that
made him the winning man in the contest that
he halls from the great and always trustworthy
Republican stronghold of this State. old st.
Lawrence" and is himself Republican OF the
aggressive sort.
The attempt is industriOusy made to pro-
duce the impression that to determine who Is TO
be Speaker is also to determine who is to be
United States Senator. If this means that the
Judgment of their presiding officer is likely To
have great weight with Republican members
it fails to mean enough to warrant such an as
sertiOn, If it means more than this-that the
Speaker will use his official power in the make
up of the standing committees i'll the interest Oh
n particular candidate-it certainly is an un-
warrantable imputation. The Republicans
who selected Mr.. Erwin for Speaker OF course
could not have been induced to do so II they
had suspected the integrity of his motives.
They believe that he will use the Chair for no
other purpose except the furthcrance OF the
business of law-making. That belief IliE
TRIBUNE shares.
The Legislature that meets to-day is Republi-
can in both its branches 1t is charged with the
performance of duties Of more than ordinary
Importance. 1t Is earnestly to be hoped that our
party friends in Senate and Assembly fully
realize what the people demand at their hands
and are determined to meet the best expccta-
tions. Let the rule of the survival OF the
fittest " be applied IN choosing United States
Senator and in disposing of the great mass OF
legislation that will be brought forward, and all
will be well. The people will have only COM
mendaton fol- the course of their representa-
tives, and the Republicans will elect their can
ddate for Governor next fall.

u,cU TENTS AND LOw INCOMES.

The percnnially fresh subject of rents is be-
ginning again to be discussed. The Decorator
laments, in rather hopeless way. the dearth OF
residence accommodation for people OF small in
comes: the great middle class in fact. 1t
says very truly, that the " fiat movement has
not met the needs of this class. since the en-
couragement given by wealthy people to the
erection of palatial apartment houses has reacted
upon flats generally, so that the old want of
mean between the tenement-h0uso and
the costly dwelling is still as far as
ever from being supplied. And mas
much as the value of real estate on Manhattan
Island, and especially in the lower part of il,
is not at all likely TO diminish in the near
future, the great middle class referred to would
seem to be under compulsiOn to seek residences
outside the city. As, moreover, the tendency
must be toward an increase in the value of city
realty in proportion as the upper part of the
island is built over, and as the increasing de-
mand for suburban accommodation must ex-
ercise similar influence upon that the pros
pect for poor people and people with moderate
incomes is not very cheerful.
But it cannot be said that real estate owners
have yet fairly tried the experiment of building
apartment houses on a large scale for middle
class tenants, and it is too soon to jump TO the
conclusion that this kind of enterprise would
not pay. 1t is for instance quito conceivable
that buildings as large as the Navarro flats or
others like them, yet costing much less, though
equally safe from fire, might be built, and the
apartments let at rates which would bring them
within the reach OF the class referred to. This
class constitutes certainly very desirable body
of tel ants. and it should be worth the while of
capital to consider their needs. The question
also involves considerations OF interest to mcr-
chants and store keepers and the proprietOrs of
places of amusement: for if, as is now
threatened, steady exodus of the middle class
to suburban residences should be made Inevita
BILE, the effect upon trade and amusements must
be serious. Thousands and tens OF thousands
would prefer to live In New York il they could
afford to do so, and large proportion of these
would prefer apartments to houses IL the cOndi-
tions were suitable. But when there IL scarcely
any choice between tenement-houses and flats
which cost from 5000 TO 10000 per annum,
suburban residence becomes q necessity.
Surely the fiat idea cannot be said to have
| been worked out until serious endeavor has

Mayor Low followed his usual custOm-a good

to the Brooklyn Common Council. What ne
saws in reference to the Bridge will probably
attract more attention outside of his own city
than any other of the topics treated. The dis
appointment which he expresses at the result OF
last years receipts and expcnditures-the net
earnings being only $93, ,955-will be generally
shared. The receipts seem to Mr.. Low to have
been as great as could be expected but the cx-
penditurcs were enormously large-larger, the
Mayor hopes, than they will be the coming year.
The two cities are required by law to provide
a sinking fund of 1925. 900 yearly for the re-
demption of the Bridge bonds, Brooklyn con-
tributing 81 80, 900. From the present outlook
it will be long before this sum is earned by the
Bridge letting alone the interest on the bonds
of which Brooklyn pays $705.OOO year. we
do not agree with the Mayor in his opposition to
reducing tolls. The tolls should be placed at
low figure in order to induce people to use the
Bridge as much as possible, and Immediate ana
efficient steps should be taken to reduce the ex-
penses of running the structure. Mr. Low nails
the near completion of large part OF the
Brooklyn Elevated Railroad as the beginning OF
the end of Brooklyn's rapid transit troubles. lie
speaks in the highest praise OF the operation OF

A CH1NCE FOR CONGRESS.

If il were not for the uncOnquerabie habit Oh
the Democrats to play the demagogue' this ses-
sion of Congress, though limited by law 10 elght
weeks more, might be exceedingly useful. Inc
party has strong motives for trying to do Its
best 1t does not need now TO palter with all
the issues and all the cranks in the country,
with all conceivable forms Of folly or OF fraud'
in order to get votes enough to elect Pres:-
dent. 1t is now on trial. 1t cannot be said that
the people have decided to trust 1t, but under
the forms of law 1t is going to be entrusted
with power, nevertheless. If it has any faculty
or any honesty of purpose, now is the time 10
show it, II the party will try. with some good
sense and some good faith, to do what it actually
can get done for the welfare of the country, it
will take one important step toward the re-
covery of public confidence.
No one expects that ii will do any such thing.
The shrewdest Democrats fear, and the more
foolish and more numerous hope, that 1t Will
pr0ceed to discuss inter State commerce, ana
the tariff, and grants to Pacific roads, and TO
resist appropriations for the Navy and for other
branches of the public service The people
generally expect that the party will do these
things, because the cheapest form OF narrow
ignorant and conscicnceless demagogism
would impel members to such course Bills
which they know they cannot pass, but can
make fuss about, wrangles which have no
better foundation than tho assertion we are
saints and the other party are all rascas," such
demagogues always delight in. The waste or
time over measures and disputes OF this KIND
may prevent action upon really important pub
lie business, but the demagogue cares little for
that If he can catch the ear of the mob, he
does not care whether public interests are seryed
or not
If the Democrats finish this session rs they
have begun it, they will do much to make
Republican victory more easy hereafter. Ihey
ought to begin at once to show some statesman
ship and some sense of responsibility. The
chances are that they will continue to "piay
to the gallery"
New-York tribune., 1885-01-06
MAYOR GRACE,S MESSAGE.

Mayor Grace writes excellent messages. His
communications to the Common Council dur
ing his former term were always marked by
clearness and force. He gets business-like
comprehension of the subject in hand and
treats il In business-ike way. The dOcu-
ment which he sent to the Board of Aldermen
Yesterday is not inferior to his former prOduc-
tions. He calls it a general report Oh the pres
ent condition of city affairs and says it will be
followed by detailed criticism of the various
departments in special messages with which
he will favor the Aldermen from time
to time. These are not likely TO
benefit the members of the Board
to any considerable extent except as, in com
mon with the rest of the community. they may
desire to know the results of the thorough and
exhaustive examination into all the city and
county offices which the Mayor proposes to
make The Common Council does not retain
power enough to be of much service in reform
ing the municipal departments even ii its
members had the disposition. But as n
majority of the members are enrolled in the
ranks of Hubert o. Thompson's faction,
genuine reformer would find them extremely
difficult to deal with, if their opportunities for
mischief equalled their inclnatiOns.
The Mayor makes the regular annual protest
against Albany interference with city affairs
No Mayors message is complete with
out it. But there are two sides to
this question. 1t has often happened that
the city has been saved from the most
serious evils by prompt resort to the law-mak-
ing body. Spring elections and single-headed
commissions, except in the Tax and Health de-
partments are earnestly advocated in the mes
sage, though it Is certain that neither would
prove an unmixed blessing, and 1t is not clear yet
that the advantages of the proposed changes
would outweigh the disadvantages.
MIR. Graces discussion of the financial condi-
ton of the city and Of the effects OF the new
Constitutional Amendment is full and satisfac-
tory. In no doubtful words he declares his hos
tility to the wasteful and injurious practice OF
transferring unexpended balances. Every part
