+ ptcEyD B0lRD or EXPERTS.

The record Of the brooklyn Bridge manage
mcnt for the last five years has been anything
but glorious in many respects. But perhaps as
extraordinary and discrcditablc proposal aS
has ever emanatcd from that body is that which
President Howell has this week transmitted
70 Albany to be enacted into law. This Is. in
effect an effort 10 pack a " Board OF Experts -
nominallv to tell the trustees and their officers
what to do next, but really TO condono what
they have not done in the past.
What are the facts? Four years ago the
urgent need Of enlarged transit facilities was
first formally recognized. Nearly three years
aQo Nlav. 1850 the trustees thought they bad
found . way out of their troubles. and adopted
il in . twcnty-minutc session They had hard
~ adopiod it when It's folly was exposed, and
il wa, incontincnty dropped. They then APP
pontcd a Board OF three experts who two years
ago (Fclruary %. 1889 gave them certain
advice. after hearing all that could be urged
in favor of seventeen different plans,
about half Of them submitted by their own
engineers. The advice given did not suit.
II condemned the plans cmanating from the
Bridge authorities. and recommended another
and very different plan. The trustees i'll an
action. rejecting what had been recommended,
and "adopting" what had been in terms con-
demned the plan Of their chief engineer, Mr..
G.. C.. Martin 1t was then publicly alleged
that the plan could not and would not work.
and that they would never dare to put 1T i'll
practice Two years have passed, during which
they have had full authority to put this plan
into operation. They have not yet taken the
first step toward doing so.
And vet Mr. Howell now cooy proposes, in
the face of this record. that the man who was
a disappointed competitor bciole the last Board
of Experts shall be by law established in the
chair of "A new Board of Experts, consisting
of ONLY three members i'll all, to sit III judg
mcnt on his own pending plan, which he dareS
not carry ont, on the plans OF his successful
connection before the late Board of Experts
which will naturally be again presented and
nossbly again recommended, and on any other
plans which may be presented, as better than
the one now adopted" The other two mem
hers of the Board are TO be appointed by the
Mavors of New York and Brooklyn, without a
single stipulation as to their qualifications.
Such a Board could hardly fail TO find that the
trustees and their chicf-cnginccr had been
from the beginning. were now, and ever would
be- about right in their views. The chance for
any real improvement in the Bridge facilities
would be again indefinitely postponed.
Let us have no such tring with "a great
problem. Let have real Board of Experts
or none. II the trustees wish and dare to carry

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK ~ DANGER.

IUL 1ELLOUNIOAE ram ~ D-i-''f|H'
A bill cmbodying an intelligent recognition
of the value OF the Yellowstone National Park
and sensible regulations for its maintenance
and protection lately passed the United States
Senate. 1t was drawn in accordance with the
views Of men who feel deep interest in the
subject, who possess an intimate knowledge
of the condition and requirements OF this great
natural endowment. and who are Influenced
only by unsclSh motives which ought to APP
peal to the whole country. This useful meas
ure has been amended by the Public Lands
Committee Of the House, and now contains Il
provision permitting railroad company to lay
its tracks through the Park. This amendment
ought TO be stricken out. 1t possesses no
merits whatsoever, and cannot even be de-
Tended by the weak excuse Of present utility
The bill as it passed the Senate made provision
for railroad communication with the mineral
deposits in the northeast corner Of the Park
in a manner not injurious to its welfare, and
the amendment inserted by the House Com
mittee merely serves to promote the immediate
interests and convenience of "A few individuals
The miserable waste which is likely to fol-
low the construction Of railroad through this
noble reservation is clearly outlined in the
letter from Mr.. George Bird Grnnel which
we print this morning. Mr. Grinncll writes
with perfect candor and from abundant knowl-
edge; without prejudice, and only from the
impulse of public spirit. No man in the coun-
try has been better qualified by practical in
vestigation and wide experience to set forth
the truth concerning the character and value
of the Yellowstone Park and the perls which
threaten it. We commend his letter to the

Senator lloar introduced bill in the senate
yesterday which Senator Pugh, OF Alabama,
declared that the Democrats would oppose :" by
every parliamentary method and every method
allowed by the Constitution" II Is bill for
the regulation of Congressional elections, and
has in view the same object as the bill on the
subject recently introduced in the House by
Representative Lodge. The Hoar bill differs
from the Lodge bill in important respects t:
notably in the fact that it provides for an eX-
tension OF the supervision of Congressional cleo
tons which is familiar in this city, and also IN
emitting the application of the Australian syS-
TEN, which is Il feature of the measure framed
by Mr. Lodge Both of the bills contain en-
ceIlent provisions and either enacted into law
would insure fair and honest elections of mem
bcrs of Congress That is the reason the Dem
ocrats oppose them tooth and nail.

The opponents OF Civil Service reform were

day on a motion to strike out the appropriation

with larger number of Democrats in opposing
a reform whose merits are so generally appre-

went on record as desiring to cripple the Com

have been permitted to enjoy that doubtful
honor exclusively.

Chicago Packers VIII Not Let the
Switching Association 60 to Pieces.

CHICAGO, August 27.-The blockade at the
stock yards, caused first by the strike of the
engineers and fremen of the Switching Asso-
citation and subsequently by the strike OF the
switchmen, was almost raised this morning.
About dozen engines, manned by officials
of the different roads, are shifting the dead
trains SO that ice cars can be reached.
There was not many policemen about
the yards as on yesterday and forty or fifty
strikers who congregated in the neighborhood
Of the yard masters Office, made no demon
stration. 1t is now believed that the
strike will be over and the men at work before
to morrow morning. The packers, it is said,
will not allow the dissolution of the switching
association and as the strikers have signiied a
willingness to return to work at their old
wages it is believed that some sort Of a COM
promise will be arrived at this afternoon.
The situation in the strike Of the Chicago
and Alton switchmen remains practically nm
changed. The fremen and engineers decided
this morning not to go out in support Of the
switchmen, as it had been intimated
they might do. The company has been
advertising for switchmen and has
secured quite force of men, which
it will try TO put to work this afternoon. GEN
eral Manager Chappell went out into tho yards
himself this morning and threw switches and
coupled and uncoupled trains with all the dex-
terity OF an old liner to show his determination
to win the fight at all hazards.
