ruF prcTSTERS little GAME.

For a man who knows what he wants ana
il not bashful about asking for it, commend us
TO Register SIevin of the city and county OF
New-York. With an ardent solicitude for his
own interest, for the general welfare OF me
Democratic party, and the particular prosperity
of Tamnany Hall, he has caused amendments
Of the most unblushing and immodest descrip-
ton to be draped about the bill lately intro
dnced in the Assembly to record and index real
estate conveyances in this city. Dill 10 &C
oonpIish similar purpose was passed IN 1901
and would have gone into operation on jan
nary /. 1888, under the tender auspices oil the
Register at an estimated expense Of S4OO,oOo
had not Mayor Hewitt OPPORTUNITY discovered
that the work could be properly done for
sac. 600 and succeeded in deferring the eSecu-
tion of the law. The bill upon which the
Register has engrafted the indecent amend
ments 10 which we refer was rather more com
prehensive than the original measure, but IL
had the virtue Of limiting the total cost-an
extrayagant limit, to be sure, but still limit
and il designated responsible commission
to carry out its provisions. It's chief fault was
that its framework was peculiarly adapted 70
display the Registers ingenuity as costu-1er'
and under his indicate manipulation 1t mas
assumed such a startlingly shameless express
sion that the Legislature ought to put it out
of sight as soon as possible, before anybody
has time to " FIRST endure, then pity, then en-
BRACE"
Register Slevin has metamorphosed the bill
after this fashion: He has cut out the com
mission feature, named himself as the sole di-
rector of the work, and removed the limit OF
cost, not into the background, but clean out OF
sight and hearing. He proposes to execute
the Job according to his own ideas, and to
spend as much as he sees fit in the process
Some idea of what would strike him as a fair
and reasonable outlay may be gathered from
the Circumstance that he was apparently dis
satisfied with the limit of 100000 fixed by
the law Of 1887, and he is not the man we take
him for If in his present mood couple Of mill
ions seems to him to afford more than safe
working margin for contingencies, incidentals
and ct ceteras.
We wish to be distinctly understood as say
ing and implying nothing whatsoever against
the block system of indexing conveyances. II
that system is by anybody still considered an
experiment we have never happened to hear Of
anybody whom the experiment had not con-
WINGED of it's pre-eminent utility. What we
object to is the Registers effrontery in devising
such scheme for emptying the city treasury
and in supposing that the people are fools
Gentlemen Of the Legislature, kick the amend
ed bill out Of doors. If any Of you have weak
eyes put ON a bandage, but kick for your lives.

ed to visit Albany and urge upon the Legis-
lature the adoption Of the bills sent up by the
NIayor after they shall have been amended in
accordance with the ideas expressed at the
meeting.
It must be apparent to all right-thinlting
members Of the party that the Republicans Of
Brooklyn cannot afford TO oppose the proposed
improvements To do so would be to pursue
very short-sighted policy indeed. If It be
said that it would be unwise to intrist the
expenditure Of such vast sum as the aggre-
gate contemplated to Democratic officials, the
simple answer is, Elect Republican Mayor
and let the improvements be made under Re-
publican direction. The Republicans came
within 8O0-odd votes of electing their tan-
didate In 1887. With the advantage to the
party that must accrue from the selection of
General Tracy for Secretary Of the Navy, they
ought to do good deal better than that in
1889. There is no better year than the pres
emit to begin making Brooklyn Republican
city. Let not the projected improvements be
a bugbear in the eyes of Republicans. They
should rather be the needed stimulus to make
the election Of Republican Mayor sure.

STATESMAN AND AGITAToR.

Mr.. Parnell grows steadily in intellectual
stature. He no longer addresses Irish audi
ences, but reserves his resources Of argument
and invectiye, Of moderation, conservatism
and common sense, for the English constit-
admirably adapted for the purposes of Home
Rule electioneering at Remington. 1t pre-
sented such salient features Of the Irish case
as would appeal most powerfully to the calm,
dispassionate judgment of an Englisbman.
Twenty -four members of Parliament had been
imprisoned as common felons mainly for speak
ing and writing in newspapers. Was that kind
of government creditable to English civiliza-
ton? For nearly six months the Parnell Com
mission was occupied with essentially irrele-
want testimony before the forged letters were
produced. Was there ever a more scandalous
waste of public time or money under the grjse
Of a judicial investigation? Pigott's tracings
and inventions had been brought to light on
the morning Of critical division on the Co.
efcion bill. Was it right that the liberties Of
Ireland should be dependent upon casual
publication OF forged letter. Since the in
PRODUCTION of Mr.. Gladstone's Home Rule bill
Ireland had turned her back upon base, hope
less and desperate courses. Would it not be
wiser to enact that measure and reconcile
permanently the Irish and English races than
to perseyere in governing the island by force
and encouraging violence These were among
the vigorous home thrusts which MIR. Parnell
made in his statcsmanlike speech. 1t was
argument that rose high above the level of
special pleading and envenomed invective
which he had often reached in Ireland. II was
designed to convince hostile rather than sym
pathetic English constituencies.
The Parnell Of Lord Beaoonsfeld's day could
not have resisted the temptations of such an
audience as thronged ST. James, Hail. The
significant notices on the walls, the breath of
a great throng eager for passionate deauncia-
tion Of private wrongs, and the triumphant tone
OF Mr.. Mcrley's glowing eulogy must have re-
yifcd the old-time ardor Of the Irish agitator
AND heated his blood. But self-restraint has
become so fixed a habit with slr. Parnell that
he remains, as our London correspondent has
APPLY said all ice in the midst Of flame J,
he know what that ardent, impatient audience
expected and was anxious to hear from his lips
but he was too wise to play the part Of agitator
or demagogue. Remington, which stands for
thirty London divisions that may be won in the
next general election, would be repelled by
violent defamation. and attracted and reas-
sured by logical and conservative presenta-
ton Of the Irish case. II there mnst be pop
ular agitation against coercion, forgery and
defamation, let the English Liberals frame the
indictment. II che Attorney-G General must be

~ Coroner found also that the building was

strutre however strong, could have with

the port was probably sound, it being man

unreDnable, however, TO suppose that the de-
strucn would have been less sudden and
