The Legislature will adjourn a week from
,o-day. Now is the time to head of the jobs
that come to the surface in the closing days oil
every session.
New Workers have every reason to be cha
srined at the record which their baseball nine
has made in Detroit. The men must pull
themselves together and make an earnest effort
to redeem themselves at Chicago, or else 1t
will be hard indeed to re-establlsh confidence III
them.
Now that the Arcade scheme has become
practical certainty, under restrictions and llml-
tations which apparently afford ample protection
to the city and to property owners, everybody
will be clad to know that the men behlud IL
intend to begin work within ninety days. But
mt the same time, threats of iujunctons are
heard There should be no factlOus opposition
70 the project if it can be shown to be practl-
cable The city sorey needs such an outlet as
this plan will afford and "manifest destiny
plainly points to a railroad under Broadway.
Little consideration was given by either
branch of the Legislature to the bill Increasing
the police force of this city. The demand FOR
the increase has not been general or emphatic
and Governor Hill would do well to give the
matter careful consideration before signing the
bill. Mr.. Murphy's bill authorizing the police
authorities to provide patrol wagons il, how
ever, a good one. The necessity of means for
TRANSPORTING policemen quickly from one point
TO another is often apparent and during the
recent troubles old stages were used for this
purpose. Regular patrol wagons would be a
desirable thing.
Three days have been spent in getting jury
10 try Alderman Jaehne, and although the jury
box was filled when the court adjourned last
night il is not certain that the twelve men
selected will compose the jury which will pass
upon the accused man's record. Certainly the
LAWYERS for the defence have not helped their
case in the eyes of the public by their repeated
objt ctions TO the legality of the drawing of
panels of jurymen and by their disposition to
reject men of inelig igencc who would appar-
emily decide the case according to the evidence.
The men cl osen, however, seem to be capable
of giving an unbiased hearing to the case.
Whether the evidence will be strong enough to
bnng about the result that is most desired re-
lnaiDs to be seen.
The necessity Of Z relief to Broadway" which
is insisted OH as the reason why Elm-st. should
be widened and extended must be more appar-
ent to the men who 81 igned the petition in favor
of that costly undertaking than ii Is to the aver
age taxpayer. Any one who walks up and
down Broadway knows that it has been less
crowded since the horse-cars began to run
there than for years before. The removal of the
busses and the dividing of the travel into two
distinct streams have in great measure done
away with the exaspeTatlDg bockades ,hat used
to occur. The main question, however is
whether the city is in position To incur the
expense for this improvement, desirable as it
may BIZ shown to be. The Board of Street
Openings has recorded it's unanimous oppOsi-
ton to the proposed widening of Elm-st. At
all events, there seems to be no good reason
why the city should pay for the work. IL will
undoubtedly greatly improve the value OF GER
tain property. Why should not the owners Of
this property bear the expense9
