PIERS IN NORTH RIVER.

There is some lively kicking going or among those who are in crested in navi- gation about New York against the scheme of the Pennsylvania railroad to build bridge, with piers, across the North r:ve1. to New Jersey. There is none too much room now for shipping, and it is held with justice that the loca- rion of piers in the river will add to the dangels and difficulties that already be- set navigation. The currents are unus- ually strong and baffiing in North river, so much so, indeed, that the dock de- pertinent is contemplating withdrawing some of it's piers and docks and cutting into .le land 10 make basin docks.
 1'he legisJatn e of New York has al- lea6y passed to a third reading bill to chg te.'e coaopapv to build the bridge, and it ,lcs been stated tbet ''1he com paoy has already made arrangements with tne Jersey legislaCuie e for the Jersey end os the bridge.' Which means. we presume, that arguments usually influ- enti,l in legislative bodies nowadays have been brought to bear with eiec on the New Jersey assembly. Wiih thu Jei SC v1oeu 'f--ed'' snG the ,bjrd reading voted in theNew York assembly 1t < ,,ardlv likely hat tr o.e w uo wish to see, the rive. open to ps 1iganon will oe able TO defeat the plans of the bridge com panv and those who are behind it. But a; the same it will be bad day for New York when pier bridge is swung across North river

PRESIDENT HARRISON sent to the sen ate during the four weeks of it's session 374 nominations, of which three were withdrawn and two rejected, all the rest, with a few unimportarft exceptions, being confirmed. President Harri son nominated more than twice as many persons as his predecessor in the first month of his presidency. But we do not know that this is anything against Pres ident Harrison.-New Haven Courier (Rep.)
 Nothing surely. The only thing against him is his hypocritical profession of devotion to civil service reform, the same hypocritical devotion which the Courier and other papers of the same breed professed during Cleveland's term of office
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-06

HE DEMOCRAT is not alone in its opinion of our present unique legisla- ture. Thus the New Haven Register, one of the keenG5t observers in the state, says: "Our legislature is peculiar. No temperance bills are too strong for it, and yet it cannot do too much for a drunken murderer" Again it asks "Does anyone under the gilded dome know what spirit animates this funny legislature of ours? We move it ad- iourns." We second that motion and ask the governor to call the question.

IT'S pity some of the Four Hundred who are kicking against McAllister's giving up the management of the cen- tennial ball can't be made to rub elbows with little common sense. Or if some of the New York editors who persist in boosting them into notoriety would take their places in the rubbing the country might settle down to some appreciation of the weightier matters connected with the centennial celebration.
