THE CITY LNPOSHD UPON

The report of the committee of engineers to
whom was referred the dispute between the
Department of Public Works and Contractor
Baird AZ To the quality Of his work in repaving
Fifth-ave. shows that the city was imposed
upon by Mayor Grace, his Commissioners of
Accounts and their laundering engineers. The
nature and extent of this imposition can be
readily perceived in the consequences which
must have been visited upon the city had Mr.
Baird acted as he was fully justified in doing
and brought an action for damages in the
courts In view of the statements of the com
mittee, composed of able and experienced en-
gineers that though variations from the con.
tract exist in the work, yet they are not such
as are sub tsnta IN their nature and extent"
and would not condemn the work as a whole
the latter being substantially such as is re-
CURED by the contract" jury could net have
failed To visit the city with damages to the
extent at least of S250,000.
This result of Mayor Grace's spite and per-
sOnal animosity has been happily averted
through the wise advice of the Corporation
Counsel, but the Mayor and his toades are not
to be easily released from their responsibility.
They have already cost the city thousands of
dollars in the /" inv estigations they have
set on foot and have seriously delayed the
work of repaving until 1t is now impossible to
finish the avenue before the cold weather
arrests all progress. The street from Madison
Square TO Washington Square must remain as
it is during another winter, when bur for this
absurd and dishonest disturbance tho entire
thoi oughfare would have been i'm excellent
condition. The Mayor and his creatures Lave
seriously jeopardized the city's interests, and
In SO doing have furnished a characteristic
specimen &C the Srefoim" for which they

THIS Is TIE PIRAMOUNT ISSUE.


The following il exhibited a specimen of

temporary, The Louisville Courier-Jomnai. in
its effort to ind a reply to Mr.. Biaine's recent
sppeches on Southern labor and the tariff

1t any qualities more than Others have char
acterized Mr. Blaiue's utterances in Maine and
Pennsylvania they arc moderation and dignity
both in tom and in words. He has spoken with
full comprehension OF his responsibility as the
accepted Republican leader, and has evidently
weighed his words we'll. He has brought be-
fore the country an entirely new issue, and has
outlined IA policy 10 meet it, fully aware of the
fact that the fault will rest upon him ii be
succeeds in committing his party to pro-
giamne which proves unfortunate or imprac-
ticahle The COurier-JOuypdL will louk In vain
through Mr.. Baine's speeches to find word
which justifes 1t in imputing to him the OBJ
iects of demagOgue, and it will soon awaken
to an unwecome realization of the facl taat
the issues he points tn in admOnitiOn or in
counsel are anything but dead.
The Democrats would better lose no time in
making up their minds that the battle 81 SS8
is to be largely fought upon questions OF pure
political economy. They have posed for years
AS the friend of Labor" and labor has never
trusted them with authority that it did not find
them at their old game of opening our markets
to the products of labor that is little better
than efl0m. Whether or mt they STALL
again have the chance to menace system
which has raised the standard Of wages in
America higher than it is anywhere else ir the
world and lowered the cost of living as well,
is the question which Mr.. Blaine and the Re-
D, blican party propose to place before the
country In that question new consideration
will be introduced, and the people will be
asked il they approve the debasement o. the
negro AS a lab0rer even if he must be cheated
as freeman.
If The Courier-JOwnaI thinks it can shove
these issues aside by sneers, by railing lem
dead and by accusing Mr.. Blaine of all the
crimes it can call to mind, our contrmpotar,
grievously errs. And il il thinks the DeIn0c-
racy can hold the vote OF wOrkinemen by Dos
ing as "the friend of labor any long r, it
would bettor listen to Mr.. Puwdcrly's indOrse-
mpnt of Mr.. 81 ine's views, and look At the
spectacle OF the ldboring vote arrayed in IL

an ELECTION FORGERY.

indignation in Germany. In the polling fOI

The Social Dem ,crats moved with Indignation

But 40 soOner vas the reslt known than the
discovery was made that the letter was fOrg
cry. The canvasser in question had fac-sim-
lies of the letter and his own handwriting pub
lished and accused his political opponents of
fabrcating it with the sinister design OF pre-
judicing the third party against the Conserva-
tive candidate. The election oi the Liberal
deputy, while legally valid, was declared by
the Cons-rs atives and Socialists to be morally
viiated by this discreditabe forgery.
The most curious feature of this Interesting
episode was the confession OF the fOrgcr him

paper He was the highest Prussian judge in
the civil district, and virtually held life posi-
ion in the service. Singularly enough, he was
not Liberal, but "a Conservative Until lately

His exalted position on the bench and his polit-
zeal sympatbles with tho Conservative cause
would have exempted him from suspicion. Both
parties were amazed when his letter appeared,
containing a frank ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF his
guilt and cynical defence of his conduct.
The Liberal organs immediately demanded his
suspension from judicial functions. The Con-
servative journals were forced to admit that
while their candidate had been defeated by n
most impudent forgery, prominent official on
their own side was the responsible author of
the crime. The forgery had not been vouched
