Tho Municipal Building.

We arc sorry 20 - that Mr.. BLUMENTHAL
hasintroduced into tn, Assembly bill under
which the new municipal .,uildinr could be
erected In the City Hall Park.
The last Legislature wisely pro~-,ed that
that needed breathing pluce should nos,,s 40
encroached upon. the public sentiment hs,
ing declared itself emphatically against any
further invasion Of park whose beauty and
practical usefulness had already been i'm.
paired by slicing of its southern end as
site for tho Post ONCE. Tho question was
settled as 1t should have been settled, and It
ought not to be raised again. But Mr.. BLU.
MKNTHAL's bill, by giving unrestricted
liberty as to tho selection OF site for the
municipal building, brings 1t forward anew.
Undoubtedly the structure should be
situated In tho neighborhood Of the City
Hall Park, where tho municipal buildings
now are. and whore the seat Of the municipal
Government must remain; for tho sug-
Restion that the present City Hall should be
torn down to make place for another and
more modern structure outrages taste.
tradition, and good sense. Our civilization
has not taken the backward turn OF which
the destruction Of one OF the very chief srchi-
tectural ornaments Of tho town would be
deplorable indication.
Tho City Hall will stand, and the City Hall
Park will remain as the centre In which and
about which the Government Of the city will
have its home and express It's power and au-
thority in massive and enduring construc-
tions for It's occupancy. That situation also
is the centre Of the populated area about the
port OF New York, the most convenient place
In which the courts and municipal offices
could be established for the whole body OF the
people making up the greater New York, In
all It's parts homogeneous and interdepen-
dent.
In the neighborhood OF the City Hall q
suitable site for municipal building is OBJ
tsinable. There 10 no need Of encroaching on
what remains Of that open space, and there
Is no occasion to search for site at distance
which would compel q Wide separation BE-
tween the Offices of municipal admins
tration. The building can be put close BY
tho park, for several situations we'll adapted
for the purpose are to be found In the
vicinity.
Mr.. BLUMENTHAL's measure is ill.advised.
For his own sake and for the sake OF the
sentiment and the convenience. the welfare
and the wishes OF the people Of the city, his
bill should be put aside and rejected by the
Legislature. 1t does not even deserve dis
cussion. for the subject to which 1t relates
has already been discussed fully and decided
wisely.

The prospects of the expedition which has

Their Candidate.

Mr.. HENRY GEORGES Standard OF last
week publishes the only really complete and
satisfactory report Of his free trade society's
recent celebration OF JEFFERsoN's birthday,
to which Governor HILL sent his now
famous declaration OF the true Democratic
tariff doctrine that has since been hailed
with an almost unbroken chorus Of Demo-
cratic approval. That was sufficiently shock
ing to enthusiastic slngle-tax feelings to
make the morning press of the next day
report substantially nothing else as II to
emphasize the "groans and Kisses" which
Mr.. GEORGES reporter says followed its
reading"
But the celebration had q positive side as
well as . negative side. Its execration of
Governor HILL was supplemented by tho
expression OF corresponding sentiment of
admiration for another statesman. It de-
veloped its candidate for President. OF the
seventeen contributors besides Governor
HILL to the letters read. all declared for
free trade with the exception OF that fine old
American gentleman, RICHARD VAUx, who
urged the American people never to "con-

Illinois. who Is candidate for Speaker, and
regretted his inability Ito accept tho invita-
tion;" and Mr.. RUSSELL OF Connecticut,
who made up In frenzy any lack OF defni-

Some mineral specimens Of a decidedly
unique and rare description are now to
be seen at the Townsite Office. They
are stalactites and stalagmites and were
placed there recently by Mr.. Charles
Gibson. Mr.. Gibson returned recently
from the head Of Wolf creek and here is
the somewhat remarkable tale he tells
regarding their discovery.
A week ago last Sunday some miners
were sinking a shaft in the Sir Walter
Raleigh, a mine situated in the Running
Wolf district at the head of Wolf creek.
The shaft had reached a depth of sixty
feet, when to their establishment the
drill broke through the rock and explora-
ton disclosed the existence of a large
underground chamber or cave.
Extending from the cave were three
arms or halls connecting with and lead
ing to other chambers. The system Of
chambers leading south extends a dis
lance of about 800 feet. 1t was explored
this far and hen the exploring party
were forced to stop, owing to a lake of
unknown extent which barred further
progress. Its dark waters far under the
earth's surface may extend miles into
it's bosom. The floor, walls and
ceiling of this section we're covered with
~stalactites and stalagmites of arich white
color, which reflected back the smoky
light of the torches like millions Of gilt
tering diamonds. The arm running tc
the north was about 300 feet in length
and contained the largest chambers
while that extending westward was only
about 200 feet long. In both of these
latter chambers the milk-white body OF
the rock was oddly streaked with coffee.
brown stone. All through the system va.
ries in breadth from eight to ten feet tc
thirty to forty feet. The height also
varies in similar dimensions.
Taken altogether it is a wonderful
discovery of a strange freak Of nature
1t is said that indications point to rich
mineral discoveries beneath.

this amount levied for "a sinking fund.
1t means a difference in the levy Of about
$4,000.
WHEREAS, In making the annual levy
of taxes on August 10, 1889, the board
levied two mills for a sinking fund, and
the board has since been advised by the
attorney general in opinion on file that
the statute does not authorize such levy.
and that the same is illegal; now, there

RESOLVED, That the levy of two mills
aforesaid for a sinking fund be rescinded
and vacated, and the county clerk be

the same in extending the taxes on the

The clerk is instructed and authorized
to comply with this resolution and to
employ the necessary help to make such
correction.

The movement in wool, says the Bos-

to territory grades, while these woods
show the largest selections for manu-
~facturers to pick from. Many of these
woods show a great improvement in
breeding, and for nearly all kinds of fine
goods they can be worked in to advan-
tage as a mixture. Montana woods are
doing we'll and some lots show a very
good staple, which makes them popular,
to the disadvantage of domestic tieeces.
The secured range for fine lots of strong
warp territory woods is about 6O@62c,
with some fancy lots doing even better
while fine medium are steady at 5S@6Oc.

Terrible Misfortune That Befeii Colonel
Ochiltree, According to the Types.
One of the best stories about typo
graphical errors is told by a New York
newspaper man, who was at the time
proofreader on the Dallas Commercial.
He lost his job through the carelessness
of the fOrman in marking two sets of
tx" copy and hanging it on the hook
at the same time. The mistake resulted
in about the funniest newspaper "bull'
ever heard of, by reason of the fact
that the separate takes of the different
cop fitted together without a break.
Tom Ochiltree. the red haired ex-con-
gresham and famous disciple of the
science of hyperbole, made a speech at
the opera house on the evening in ques-
ton, and on the afternoon of the same
day a mad dog had been killed in the
streets. Perhaps fate recognized an af-
tinity between Ochiltree and a mad dog.
At any rate, the first take" of the Ochil-
tree report and the second take of the
mad dog item got mixed, and this is the
way two paragraphs appeared in the pa
per the next morning:
Hon. Thomas p. Ochiltree lectured at
the opera house last night to an audi
ence that was inclined to be indulgent.
Before the hour set for the lecture the
familiar figure of the eloquent Texan
was prominent on the stage. where he
sat talking to Colonel -. Promptly
at 8 o'clock the colonel arose, and in a
few appropriate remarks introduced the
speaker of the evening, who bowed and
advanced to the front of the stage.
with his tail tucked between his legs
he began to howl, to snarl and to snap at
everything in sight. He frothed at the
mouth, he slobbered and he pouted. His
long and ugly tongue hung out nearly a
foot over his left jawbone. 1t was black
and heavy. A citizen, recognizing that
in such a condition he was a menace to
life, fished out a Colts revolver from his
hip pocket and drew a bead on him. A
sharp, whip-like report rang u and a
pistol ball penetrated the brute's left
eye. He gave an agonizing yelp, fell
over on his left side and expired.'-St.
