OPEN THE Way TO THE BRIDGE.

Nothing is clearer than that an immense in
crease in the facilities Of transportation over
the Brooklyn Bridge is impelatively demanded
by the best interests of the two great cities
which il connects. The frequent accidents,
the long delays, the overwhelming and crush
ing crowds at the entrances. disgrace the me-
tropolis and it's big sister across the river. A
change for the better must come, and cannot
como too soon. The Trustees have now be-
fore them the Wellington plan, which has been
approved by some OF the most expert engineers
in America. This plan. or any other OF practi-
cal value, will make necessary the acquire
mont of large additional area at the New
York end Of the Bridge The present ap-
proaches to the structure are mcagre, narrow,
cramped and insignificant They must be ex-
panded on a generous scale to give quick and
convenient transit over the East River.
Plainly, the first step for the city authori-
ties to take, in order to broaden the approaches,
and to carry out new system by which long
trains of cars can be speedily handled and
swiftly and surely carried over the structure,
is to acquire the property between Frankfort-st.
and the Bridge, and to dcmolish the buildings
thereon. With this extensive area condemned
for public purposes, and with some additional
space which can be easily secured north OF the
Bridge, on the east side Of Park-row, sample
room will be obtained to carry out the Well
ington plan. and instead of the crowding, push
ing. jostling, suffering, Indignation and wrath
of these days, we shall see the tens of thou
sands Of people who hasten every afternoon to
the great avenue over the river taken care OF
without obstruction or delay. 1t is time for
tba citv authorities tn be nm and doing. This
public improvement is too important and too
pressing to be put off. New-York and Brook
lyn must get rid Of that grievous nightmare,
the Board of Bridge Trustees. and handle this
problem in an intelligent and earnest manner.

THAT NEW MANHATTAN CLUB house.
OF late years the star-eyed goddess of Jefer-
sonian simplicity, on whose altar famboyant
Democratic orators are accustomed to burn
much incense has been knocked silly number
of times. Knocked silly by Democrats on each
occasion. No sooner had President Cleveland
got well settled in his Office than he proceeded
to do up the goddess in one round by ordering
gorgeous new dinner set-including opulent
plates for Pie-for his use at the White House
Not long afteward relation Of Thomas Jefier-
son sent the goddess to grass by writing letter
in which he showed that the patron saint of
current Democracy. instead OF having been

simplicity. was mighty fond Of cakes and ale

OF which General Grant prosIdent-obtained fraud

necessary in order not to jeopardize the chance
of passing il. No effort must be spared to pun
this bill through the Assembly, in spite OF the

THE TRUTH ABOUT THOMAS NJ y1cHoL.

A sensational story was published yesterday con-
corning Thomas NJ Nchol, formerly secretary of the
Honest Money league, Of Chicago. He was
represented as living In bis rooms, at tho Cambridge
Hotel, without clothes, from choice, and running a
bureau In the interest Of John Sherman Sighting
ausion was made to his connection with the Patriots
Loague formed shortly after the Haymarket affair, to
disseminate anti -Sociastic literature
friend Of Mr.. Ncho made the following state
mont "The story tissue Of misrepresentation, In
excusabl because the reporter saw Mr. Nichol He
Is suffering from Affection Of the nerves of the skin
which renders the contact Of clothes ntoerabe but
this does net prevent his receiving his friends, and
keeping up his business relations To represent him
as going without clothes from choice was Of course
fabrication. The story about the sherman bureau Is
equally ridiculous. Tho only result Of his connection
with the Patriots League that he about $500
out of pocket After spending several months thcre
at tho work. he left 1t In other hands and came to New
York The statement as to the number OF steaks Mr.
Nlchol sometimes eats at a meal Is on par with the
rest of this article. The fact Is, simply, that he Is
under the treatment of wcll.known specialist who
forbs his patients to taste food Of any description ex-
cepting meat"
