The Cause of the Delay.

1T is reported that the cause OF the
delay in opening streets in the new city
extension is that the majority of the com
mittee in charge of the matter is opposed
to compromising owners of lots for land
that may be necessary for streets. The
chairman Of the committee, Mr.. Thomas,
1t is understood, believes in paying own
ers of small holdings IN cash for what
ever part OF their lots may be taken, and
In compromising owners Of large holdings
by giving them land belonging to the city
equal in value to that taken from them.
II this policy were adopted the difficult
ties in the way of opening the streets
would disappear at once. II is hardly to
be expected that the owner Of one lot, or
half lot, will accept land in payment
for portion of his lot, because neither
the part he would have left nor the small
piece OF land he would receive would be
worth much, for the reason that both
would be too small to be desirable, aud
both together, except, perhaps, IN very
lew cases, would not be worth as much
as his lot in its present condition. The
only way to deal with the owners Of
small holdings is to pay them whatever
damages their property may suffer.
1t is asserted that a majority of the
mem bers OF the committee are
| opposed to spending any money in
improving the extension, or in
beginning any improvements upon 1t
until it is subject to taxation. That, of
course, means that the extension is to re-
main as it is for the next six years.
In view OF the fact that the committee
was appointed for tae purpose of opening
the way for building up the extension
does it not seem as If those members
of it who are opposed to dong anything
should resign from it, in order that others
who are willing to do what it was APP
pointed to do may be appointed in their
places?
There can be no doubt that the senti-
ment of the city is in favor of action in
this matter. The proper thing for those
OF the committee who cannot conscien-
tiously comply with this sentiment is 10
make room for those who can. There is
more ground for finding fault with them
for retaining places which they cannot
fill according to the popular will than
there is for not acting in accordance with
.the resolution under which they were APP
pointed,

Divorce suits are not the only things in

Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley, the African eX-
plorer, after an absence of thirteen years,
is again in his native country. He reach
ed New York on Nov. 20, passenger on
the steamship Aller. Mr.. Stanley's brief
statements to the newspapers of his ex-
perience in the Congo Free States are eX-
tremely interesting. He says that it is a
mistake 10 speak of him as Governor
General of these States, as he is simply
the agent OF King Leopold, of Belgium.
He con- iders the future of these States
very promising. They embrace an area
of 1000, coo square miles of the Congo
basin, and are rich in valuable products.
The ivory production alone amounts to
100000 per annum, which, however, is
not a staple product. a Belgium syn
dictate has been formed with a
capital OF $4,000 to build a railway.
There are eight steamers already above
the rapids which navigate the Upper
Congo, and five lines of steamers each
month from the mouth of the Congo to
European ports. The States do not call
for co'onists, but for traders-men who

palm oil will you give? he asks the host,
and when the bargain is made the furnish-
ings are carried away to the buyer, and
the next day the Dutchman invites an
other chief. Mr.. Stanley was given a
dinner by the Lotos Club on Saturday
evening, at which were present some of
the leading men of science and geographi-
al research in the country.

South Florida, it seems, is to have a
fair, and there is no reason to doubt that
1t will be good one. The aim of its
projectors and promoters is to bring per-
manently to the front the productions and
advantages OF the Southern portion of the
state. They want to bring out clearly
the difference between Florida and south
Florida. AT a State fair Florida gets the
credit for everything, and the effect OF
such fair is to advertise one section
about as much as another. A South
Florida fair, however. will direct atten-
ton exclusively TO South Florida.
The purpose seems to be TO hold the
fair some time in February. That is a
delightful month in Florida. There is
not much rain, and it is just about cool
enough to be pleasant out of doors. 1t
has been suggested that each county pro-
vide a tent for its exhibits, and that all
the tents be grouped in one great enclos-
ure. The suggestion is novel one and,
if adopted, would help to make the fair a
success.
South Florida is coming into promi-
nence very rapidly. The people of that
section are energetic and thrifty, and
they are making it beautiful with groves,
gardens, farms and towns. The cold wave
OF last winter did it very little damage,
and what iC did do is being obliterated,
and will soon be almost forgotten.
The fair will be matter of great inter-
terest TO Florida visitors. There will be
very few of them VINO will not attend It,.
That will insure its success financially.
1t is certain to be a success in other re.

"Dick" Hill, son OF the well-known
Harry Hill of New York, caught what he
calls a sea monster near Flushing, l.. l.,
day or two ago. 1t was Ave feet long
and weighed about 125 pounds. 1t had a
tail like fish, but instead of fins had two
claws IN front with long curved nails. 1t
had eyes, but they were, strange to say,
at the back of the head. The unknown
was placed in a cage in the hotel yard,
aud all the fishermen in Flushing were
called in 10 examine 1t. The animal was
inspected by hundreds of people, but
neither the oldest inha5itant nor the most
experienced fisherman could tell its ge-
nus. No one pretends that it is in any
respect related TO the sea serpent.

metropolis of the United States, "politi-

against the aspersi0ns OF that eminent
divine: ITO say that we are suffering
under grave eviis-namely, the domi-
nance of the saloon, the influence of the
criminal classes and the Indifference of
our citizens to municipal interests, which
throws great power into the hands OF
political speculators-ls simply to say
that the frontier of the millennium is
still at some distance, No other city has
yet crossed that frontier, and we are
not laggards In the race toward it. Dr..
Crosby is In too much of a hurry. He
is kind Of spiritual dynamiter. The
Anarchist wants to blow us to smith
Green's all at once. and DR.. Crosby wants
to blow us into Paradise all al once. The
Anarchist can't do it, because the law of
the land stops him; and DR.. Crosby can't
do it because the law OF nature stops
him. The latter may express surprise
that the people Go not rise en- masse and
drown out the scamps and all sorts of
roguery, but that is not the way in which
progress is conducted in this world"

Equal Rights Debating Society-Prsf Sumner's Illness-An Address by E. S. Bourne.

Equal Rights Debating Society-Pr~f
 Summers Illness-An Address by E.
 s. Bourne.
 At the meeting of the Equal Rights De- batting. clubl yesterday afternoon, the large audience was disappointed by the announce ment that Prof. Sumner, owing to sudden severe illness, was unable to meet his en- gagement to speak.
 A lively interest in the dry subject of the currency was created by an instructive ad- dress by Edward s. Bourne of this city.
 MT. Bourne in the beginning sketchsd the origin of money, showing that the growth of exchange rendered barter inconvenient from the lack of coincidence in the wants of those who traded. A medium of exchange and measure of value was adopted; at first some useful or ornamental article, later the metals. Money was simply tool of business and the choice of a substance was a practical one to be settled by reason and not by any fancifu1 arguments Each country, in free eompeti- ton with other countries in the exchange of products, got it's own share of the money in the world, the amount fitted for it's needs. If an inferior kind of money was put into circulation the good money would be withdrawn proportionately. If the issue of the inferior money continued the good would finally disappear from circu- IAtiou, 0fcTyOue GO Spcuu Iuo poorer in his hands and to lay up the better In measure of value steadiness of value is necessary and standard of value ought to be one thing, not two things. Now we have two dollars, one worth only four-ffths as much as the other. It would be just as sen sible to have two yards, one only four ffths as long as the other. This double standard makes confusion and the confusion is in- creased sine the value of the short standard fuctuates. Forced coinage of silver means that ..the gold will be driven ont of circula- tion and silver become the standard, prices all going up suddenly disturbing all con- tracts. It also means that the government taxes the people nearly two million dollars month to furnish market to the silver mine owners. Free coinage of silver would be pure and simple imitation of the cur rency. The government would then be forced to buy all the silver the silver mine owners wanted to sell, very happy thing for the silver men, but very extraor- dinary act on the part of the government.
 Workingmen are interested in getting the best dollar attainable. A single gold stand ard did not mean disuse of silver, but simply that, whether we used silver or gold or paper in ordinary payments, there should be one fixed and known standard and not two f1uctuating and unknown standards. Nobody but speculators gained by fuctuating cur rency. Laboring men suffered more than any other class.
 At the close of the address an animated questioning ensued, followed by dis cussion. On Sunday next MT. J. B. Sargent will lecture on "The Relation of Labor and Capital"

Dr. Kleeberg. The hall was elaberately decorat ed with potted plants.
