A New Annexation Scheme.

A New Annexation Scheme. To the editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 We noted in the COURIER of January an article headed s'In or Out" which cut the Gordian knot of difficulty in the matter of consolidation of city and town governments easily if agreed to, and since reading the arti- cle we have been informed that already there has been some running around among our now happy four -and-a -half-mill- ll-taked fellow townsmen to sound their views re-annex- ing the Fifteenth ward of New Haven to East Haven.
 Now, we never believed that Jonah swal- lowed the whale, but we felt about as sick as the whale was said to have been when Jonah was in; but we do not believe that New Ha- ven (the whale) is ready to throw up Jonah (the Fifteenth ward), and we are not trou- bling ourselves over here much about New Ravens dual government, but we have an idea, and we will hatch it if you will allow us to.
 There has been much said and written garding the freedom of Tomlinson's bridge, which to accomplish in short period we would advise the following procedure: Re-annex the Fifteenth ward to her mother East Haven. Now let mother and daughter jointly with New Haven purchase the Tom linson bridge and consecrate that notable passway forever to freedom. Then let East Haven issue bonds, say $20, 900, payable in ten years or thirty, at the option of the town. Now re-annex the Fifteenth ward to New Ha- 7sn, New Haven assuming the $2o, GOO ob- ligation, and we have the game of s'In or Out" over again, with a gain of free bridge.
 Mr. Editor, all it requires of man in this world to keep at the top of the heap is te know how to figure.
 We hope, however, to some day see the new Tomlinson bridge further advanced in the scale of progress, for it is blot upon the escutcheon of the fairest, one of the most intelligent cities of America, that she permits her laboring people to pass to and fro over crossing embargoed, viz: "Cross- ing at gait faster than a walk is by law prohibited-one cent for toll.''

MAYOR GRACE,s COMPLAINT.


 In his annual message Mayor Grace of New York says: "A constitutional amend ment requiring the enactment by the legisla- ture of general laws governing municipal cor porations and prohibiting special legislation is, I believe, a necessary condition precee- dent to independent local government" This remark follows statement by the mayor concerning the appropriations for city expen- ditures during 1886.
 The total amount allowed for city expendi- lures in the final estimate for the year 1886 is $35, ,736, ,320. .59. Of this sum, thus all lowed. $22, Al ,597. 51 was appropriated not through any exercise of judgment on the part of the Board of Estimate andApportion- ment, but in obedience to direct mandate of the State legislature. Not only are fixed sums thus named by law and ordered to be appropriated for the support of the courts and the departments of police, public works, parks and so on, but specific appropriations are thus ordered from Albany for repaving streets, distributing water, maintaining ar mories, and even for such special work as building a new bridge across the Harlem river, for which the city is bound by law to expend S750, 1000 during the coming year. The mayor says concerning these mandatory appropriations The term mandatory, as used in reference to the figures contained in the foregoing able, has extended signifca- tion. It means not only an absolute obliga- ton which has been created by act of the leg islature, and over which no element of dis. cretion has been vested in the local authori- ties, but also those acts by which discretion ary power is vested in the head of depart ment or in board to make expenditures which the Board of Estimate themselves can not control. So it also includes such items in the annual budget as tue Board of Esti- mate is compelled to insert, as, for example, the city debt and interest upon the city debt, fifty millions of which has also been issued in pursuance of mandatory laws.
 Mayor Grace complains that the direct suit of governing New York city at Albany is not only to increase the already onerous burden of taxation, but in a measure to inn pair the efficiency of the various depart ments; for the Board of Estimate is thereby compelled, in many cases, to exercise what ever discretion may remain to it very spar ingly, and to deny to commissioners money which they might advantageously use. This may have good deal of truth in it. but something had to be done The affairs of New York city were not very we'll managed under local self government

Puzzled.

By Annie Trumbull Slosson. You ask me whether I'm High Church, I wish you'd tell the difference
 For I'm sure that don't know. I'm just plain old body,
 And my brain works pretty slow: So don't know whether I'm High Church,
 And don't know whether I'm Low. I'm trying to be Christian
 In the plain, old-fashioned way Laid down in my mothers Bible,
 A'd read it every day;
 Or a comforting Psalm of old, Or bit from the Revelations
 or the city whose streets are gold. Then pray, why I'm generally praying.
 Tho don't always kneef or speak out, But ask the dear Lord and keep asking
 Till fear He is all tired out; piece of the Ltany sometimes,
 The Collect, perhaps, for the day, or scrap Of prayer that my mother
 So long ago learned me to say.
 And often and often find That never prayer from the prayer book
 Will seem to come into my mind But know what want and ask it,
 And make up the words as s,o Do you think now that shows amt High Church: Do you think 1t means am Low: My blessed old husband has left me-
 Ts years since God took him away. I know he is safe, well and happy.
 And yet when kneei down to pray, Perhaps it is wrong, but never ls,.l | ne Lord teco for him
 What would do if was there. Of course He can do it much better,
 But He knows. and He surely won't mind The worry about her old husband
 Of the old woman left here behind So pray, and pray, for the old man,
 And I'm sure that shall till die: So may be that proves an't Low Church, And may be it shows am High. Ny old father never Churchman,
 But a Scotch Presbyterian saint; Still, his white head is shining in Heaven, don't care who says that it ain't; To one of our blessed Lords mansions That old man certain to go, And now do you think am High Church: Are you sure that ain't pretty Low? tell you it's all just n,uddle,
 Too much for body like me- I Il wait till join my old husband,
 And then shall see what we'll see. Don't ask me again, if you please. sir;
 For really it worries me so. Ami don't know whether I'm High Church, And don't know whether I'm Low
