SHIJL PARKS FOR THE POOR.

IN the last number of Tho Christian Union"
Mr.. Jacob A. Riis, whose studies on the seamy
side of life in New-York City have been OF the
most practical and helpful character, calls forcl-
ble attention to the gross and inexplicable con-
duct of the city authorities in failing to provide
small parks for the poor in accordance with the
legislation of 1887. On May 10 in that year
q law was enacted to "provde for the location,
construction and improvement of additional pub
lie parks in NewYork City," This law has
been commonly known as the Small Parks act.
II empowered the Board of Street Opening and
Improvement to "seect, locate and lay out
such and so many public parks in the city OF
New-Y York, south of One-hundred and fifty
Hfth-st, as the said Board may from time "a
time determine" These parks were designed
TO meet the wants OF the poor, especially in the
crowded sections OF the city, and the Board was
authorized to close streets ard TO assess dam
ages to owners Of lands taken and taxes upon
adjoining lands benefited by the new parks
Five parks in all were located by the Board o.
Street 0pening-one at Mulberry Bend, one
called High Bridge Park, in the Twelfth Ward
Rutgers Slip Park, in the Seventh Ward ar
| addition TO the East River Park at Eighty.

But that is all Not one Of the parks has We
been opened, and, in fact the actual work o.
making them ready has not really been entered
on, although the law has been on the statute
book over four years and half, and the ex
penditure of 81, 600. 600 year for this purpose
was authorized thereby. There have beer
numerous hearings by the Commissioners, witt
the result in one case at least Of showing tina

| The only reason for this delay that Mr.. Riis ha
been able to discover is given in the words o
one of the Street Opening Commissioners " Tn

The Grand Army of the Republic is an army
indeed. Its actual net strength at the present
time is 9s,067, according to the report of the
Adjutant-G General. No one can note without a
pang the charging death-hst, which last year
was 5,479, and has now crept up to $3.50. A
rather surprising fact is that both Ohio and
PENNSYLVANIA have more members on the rolls
than New York, despite New-York's far larger
number of soldiers in the ranks of the army
during the war. In securing the Office of Com
mander-in- Chief this year, after a long interval
this State has obtained no more than it is en-
titled TO- besides demonstrating the wisdom Of
uniting upon single candidate when an i'm
portant prize is at stake.

The baseball situation so far as the National
League is concerned is one of unprecedented in
terest Ordinarily at this time of the year the
contest for the pennant has narrowed down
10 two or three cubs, and the others may
be defnitively set down as out of the running.
Not so to-day. So evenly are the clubs pulling
together that any one of them may still carry
off the highest honors. though the present
chances strongly favor either New-York, Chicago
or Boston. These three clubs are punched in
the lead, with Chicago slightly in front. New
York and Chicago are TO play at the Polo
Grounds on the last three days of this week-a
series that will settle the question of the leader

There is trouble of the most aggravated de-
scription between the Cleveland and the Hill
wings of the Democracy out in Buffalo. The
fact is that the supporters of the cx-President
have long chafed under The rule of the Cover

last have openly revolted. They have gone so
far as to issue sort of declaration Of indie

printed this morning, and will be read with
equal interest by those who have crossed the

practical hints contained in it is to the effect that
if one going abroad wishes to obtain the great

or Southampton, but make his first decent on
foreign shores at Ifavre, Rotterdam, Bremen oil

THE MEMBERS of the House OF
Representatives at Dover would do
well to consider some business OF a
useful nature, such as secret ballot
bill, or the tax bill, peach yellows bill
or something which is Of vital impor-
tance to the people. They will have
an opportunity to vote on all appro-
priations; voting is always better than
talking; men often talk one way and
vote another. The representatives
were sent to Dover to transact busi-
ness; they were not sent there to talk
all the time about what can be done to
cut down some officers pay. Gentle
men you may rest assured that the
people will know how you vote on that
question; you may remember that you
are consuming from S15O to 5000 of
the public money each day yourselves.
So please the people by getting down
20 the consideration of some very
necessary legislation.

Heai MERIT

Is the characteristic of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and it is manifested every day
in the remarkable cures this medicine
accomplishes. Druggists say When
we sell a bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla
to new customer we are sure to see
him back in a few weeks after more,
proving that the good results from a
trial bottle warrant continuing its use.
This positive merit Hoods Sarsa-
parilla possesses by virtue of the
Peculiar Combination, Proportion and
Process used in its preparation, and
by which all the remedial value of the
ingredients used is retained. Hoods
Sarsapa. lila is thus Peculiar to Itself
and absolutely unequalled in its power
as blood purifier, and as tonic for
building up the weak and weary, and
giving nerve strength.

Something said in this col
umn a few days since about
Courtauld's Black Grapes in
spired great interest. An
equal stock of them has never
been shown in this city. There
is a mystery about Black Silk
Grape known best to Court
auld, but that his are peerless
is no mystery.
We had conviction regard
ing Black Dress Goods for
Spring. The courage of
our convictions has brought
you a stock the match to which
in variety and quantity does
not exist in this country.
The great witness to this
assertion is the line of Grena-
dines-vemem6er aOe refer only
to black to-day. The largest
expert skill alone could col
lect them. Shortly the prices
will vary from soc to $Io the
yard-the lowest to-day is ST..
They are plain, open, and
Mexican Mesh, bordered and
striped, figured with damask
and set patterns, checks and
plaids. The fabrics are silk,
sewing silk, silk-and-wool and
wool. Some of the highest
Partisan novelties are in these
black Grenadines. 1t seems
absurd that a tuft Of Black
sleeps wool, or black goats
hair stuck upon a ground of
most delicate texture should
accurately describe a raving
black novelty-very stylish.
The step between the stupidity
homely and the brightly ele-
giant is short. The art comes
in knowing how to take it.
More about blacks soon.

THE JURY in the Cotton case has
disagreed and the defendant has SO far
escaped what most people believe to be
deserved, viz : punishment as a law
breaker. Whether or not Cotton is
guilty remains to be settled, SO we
may as well dismiss the subject for
the present. This case shows plainly
the need of some other system of yot-
ing than the one now in use. 1t should
not be within the power of any man or
any party to thwart the will of the
people by such contemplate tricks as
have characterized the conduct of cleo
tions in some of the precincts of Will
mington. That law which will rem
der such tricks impossible is necessary,
is now admitted on all sides. Tie
secret ballot and registration are the
only means whereby this can be accom-
plished and the Legislature will not do
its most important duty if it adjourns
without enacting the laws necessary to
put these reforms in operation. That
it is possible for an unscrupulous poll
tician even to hold the Office of inspec-
tor is bad enough, but when it comes
to such pass that a man utterly de-
void of principle can deny toan Ameri-
can citizen the right to vote it is a.
disgrace to civilization and a serious
danger to the stability of the govern
lnent. If lawlessness can be openly
practiced in the election of our officers,
what can We expect from the officers
thus elected ?
