KEEP THE MENAGERIE OFT or THE
ME- fUOU

Mr. Gallup said on Friday to the reporter OF
"The Evening Post" that he had heard of no
new project 10 remove the mcnageric from the
neighbOrEood Of the Arsenal. II is to be as
sumcd that when addressing the public the
president OF the Park Board speaks without
evasion, and his assertion then means that he
has not been consulted AZ to the revival Of the
abandoned scheme Of colonizing the vale north
of the reservoir with wild beasts. Other per
sons. however, have heard OF it, and il is mat
ter of regret that Mr.. Gallup did not declare
himself opposed TO this perversion OF choice
portion of the Park from its highest use. There
is a chapter in the history of the Park ~*h
which Mr.. Gallup would do well to famiiarize
himself One Of his predecessors, who was
also an eminent member of Tammany Hall,
undertook 10 establish the menagere upon the
North Meadows and spent many thousands Of
dollars in digging cellars and building founda-
tons for his cages and stables. This president
was the Hon Peter b. Sweeney, and no other
of his affrontS to public decency did more to
provoke the tempest Of execration which swept
him and his fellows out of the city. Under "A
cleaner administration Mr.. Sweeney's pits and
waows were filed up, his structures were de-
moished and carted away at an expense of as
many more thousands of dollars as they had
originally cost. The people of the city have a
higher appreciation Of the Park now than they
had at that early day, and no man who is paid
to protect it and then helps To :rar it will eS-
cape public Indignation. This new village for
brutcs, if ever constructed would also he
secured off from the face of the Park, but it
would leave deeper scars than Mr.. Sweeney 5
wounds did, for the purpose is to cut wide
swath through one Of the statccst groves in
the whole pleasure ground
The attempt to move the mcnagerie last
autumn to a site above the transverse road at
Ninety seventh-st. was justified by tho Park
Board because. as they stated il had been
recommended by Mr. Frederic Law Olmstcd.
What Mr.. Olmsted did say, as we have shown
before, was that the more nOrtherly site was
" less Objectionable than the one now con
templated And since Mr.. OlnlStcds profes-
sional advice solicited in this matter it
may be well TO remind Mr.. Gallup what opinion
| he held OF the particular spot as a retreat for
a select assortment of birds and beasts. Iav-
| ing in view the health and comfort OF the ami
mails, this spot wrote Mr. Olmstcd, has not
single one of the essentials of a favorable site
for geological collection in this climate"
The surface OF such site should have a sunny
slope; this one slopes 10 the north the worst
( possible exposure. 1t should be open to sum
mcr breezes the southern boundary of this
one is ridge which would defect from It's sur
face every cool breeze from the waters. There
should be protecting elevation 10 the north
of it this one is unshielded from winter winds.

Judgment and good taste in park matters were

The latest development in reference to the
Weekly Payment law is that the people VINO
it was supposed would welcome it and be
benefited by it object to it and will make no
effort TO secure its enforcement. AT least that
is the information which comes from Kingston
in reference to the brickmakers along the Hud-
son. At present they receive their wages every
two weeks, but they get all that is due them up
10 within one day of the time OF payment
Under the new law the employer can hold back
q weeks pay. Tie men object to this provision
and appear to prefer the old system. 1t is sig
nfcant that the saloon keepers favor weekly
paynents, as it is well known that many men
of feeble will power are unable TO keep money
in their pockets, and throw it away for liquor
As soon as they get it. Hence weekly pay ments
would increase the time they spend in carousing
and drunkenness, and add to the liquor sellers
profits.

1t is said that protests from the property
holders on Eightl-avc. deferred the Board of APP
portionmcnt from granting 100000 to trans
fer the detected captives which are now penned
and hoppled about the Arsenal to the quarters
assigned to them last fall. IL TO escape these
protests that Mayor Grant advised return to
the original scheme of occupying the dale above
the reservoir But this site, which is worse
than either of the Others in every other respect,
has not even the negative merit of not being
special nuisance The plan provides for a wide,
straight avenue, starting from the western
boundary Of the Park, destroying the trees on
the border, crossing the west drive and running
clean across the little meadow. On either side
of this street will he set, in row, the little
homes for the brutes all nicely painted red The
plan seems to have been constructed on the
model Of a mining camp on the frontier that
is double row of shanties with a straight road
between them But the houses in this settle
ment will extend quite to Eghth-ave, 80 that the
jewellers there will have the full benefit of the
complaining below OF the bison, the snort of the
hippopotamus and the fragrance of the entire
colony. Besides this, they will be able TO take
in al glance the full scope Of this picturesque
improvement upon the pastoral scenery of the
Park and get a wide-open view down through
the long vista of cages to the monkeys at the
eastern end.

The Rev. DIR. Da Costa INDUCED yesterday
in a jeremiad on the subject OF our municipal
government, and left the impression in the
minds Of his congregation that what New York
needs more than anything else is new charter
A little more familiarity with his subject would
have enabled DR.. Da Costa to give wiser coun-
sci. According to our report, he labors under
the mistake of supposing that the Board OF AT
dermen is supreme in New-York, that the
Nayor is ut the mercy of the Aldermen and
that the Mayor ought to have "almost abso-
lutte power over his appointees" Has DR.. Da
Costa never heard of the Roosevelt amend
ments to our charter, which reduced the powers
of the Aldermen to minimum and gave the
Nayor absolute power in the selection Of the
heads of departments These sweeping re-
form bills were passed by the Legislature Of
1854.
Governor Albeit has completed his action or
the bills left for his consideration by the New
JERSEY Legislature, and the result OF his labor:
viii be announced to-day. The principal in
terest centres on the bill to legalize bOokmak
ing at racetracks. As to this, it was semi-of
fcially announced yesterday that the measure
would not be approved. The reason for Mr.
Abbetts action appears to be the pressure
brought to bear on him because, while legal
izing bookmaking, the bill also egalizes TIL
abomination Of winter racing at Guttenberl
and Clifton. AS originally drawn, it forbad
this variety Of racing which no communit,
ought to tolerate. Our Trenton correspondent
