.EYTR4VdGANCE AND RECKLEsSNESS.'
Mayor Chaplin is rcputcd to have made eX-
tensjye changes in his message before sending
il 10 the Aldermen-changcS rendered neceS-
sorv by the water scandal and the subsequent
proceedings in court. 1t was his intention to
make the first announcement of the purchase
through the message, and conglatulate the peo-
ME Of BROOKLYN on the fine bar gain he had maze
for them. But Mr.. Ziegler Knocked his plans
all in a heap. Perhaps 1t was his agitation on
this account that caused Mr.. Chaplin to neglect
IN oycise one sentence from the message. which
certainly has a singular sound in the light OF
ali that has happened Here il is: There

travaCance and recklessneSs. either in the con

WHAT JUDGE BARRETT SAID.

When the Court of Appeals decides that
certain thing is law it is idle for the rest Of
he community to protest. no matter what they
mov think of the kind of law that is thus laid
down. But. in reversing the verdict in the
Flacl, case. the court bases its action upon the
ground that Mr.. Justice Barrett the trial Judge
in charging the jury used language that chaf-
acterized the acts of the defendants. The ques-
ton is therefore, as TO the meaning OF Judge
Barrett's words. and that we apprehend, Is
matter which every other intelligent man is as
capable OF deciding as the intelligent men who
compose the Court of Appeals. For the pur-
nose of enabling our readers to examine TINS
question we place what Judge Barrett really
said and what the Court of Appeals says he said
in parallel columns:
JUDGE BARRETTS THE COURT OF AP-
CHARGE PEALS DECISION.

In word, the Court of Appeals declares that
Judge said a certain thing when he was al
especial pains to point out that TINS was pre-
csely what he did not say.
The administration of justice upon political
offenders in this politically rotten and boss
ridden town is tremendously difficult and III
PROPORTION as it is difficult il is necessary. we
have court which is famous for its ability, and
il seems unfortunate that the Court OF Appeals
should feel itself called upon so often to reverse
our Judges upon the mercSt technlChtleS IN
this class of cases where there can he no pre-
fence but that substantial justice has been done.

That the Democrats in the House are deter
mined TO waste all the time they can has been
made 50 plain already that the majority ought
to have no difficulty in determining what their
duty is on matters of legislation that demand
attention. -Four days were Spent-at least three
of them to no purpOse--on the Army Appropna-
ton bill, and as soon as that was out OF the
way the Democratic fear that debate would be
limited on the next measure in order again
broke out. Patience is ceasing to be virtue
in the House.

The lapd-transit outlook at Albany is good
OF course if the Democrats insist on control
ling the Rapid Transit Commission, that will
put different aspect on the matter, for the
Republican Senate will never consent 10 such
proposal. The latest proposition is that the
consent of all five Commissioners must be given
20 the acts of the body which would remove
the question from the domain of politics alto
eether. g.. 1t is a non-political question any way,
but the Democratic Governor and Assembly,
and Tammany Hall, can with difficulty, if at
all, be induced TO take that view of it.

Immediately after the opening of the session

Yesterday there was another exhibition Of

Elections were Mcdonald. the beneficiary of the
shaweless Hudson County frauds, and Keys
whose own seat is the subject of a contest

A SMALL But FIERCE RIOT.
The Chicago Police Called Up TO Arres
Quarrelsome Greeks.

The Chicago Police Called Up TO Arrcst
Qusrrelsome Greeks.
CHICAGO, Jan. I9.-DurinG small riot which
took place at an early hour TINS morning at the
corner of Harrison and Clinton streets two
young men-Lawrence Casey and Richard Cas-
kens-received injuries from which they Will
probably die and over a dozen others were
badly hurt
Casey and Caskens were driving along Harri-
son street in a buggy, when they encountered
crowd of Greeks near the corner of Clinton
street. The Greeks refused to get out of the
road of the horse and a violent alteration en-
sued. The Greeks jumped up into the buggy and
attacked the young men with knives. Caskens
and Casey drew their revolvers and fired right
and left. The Greeks. however, succeeded in
wrestling away their revolvers, and il began TO
look as If the young men would be killed out
right. When the patrol wagon, loaded with po-
lice, dashed up the infuriated and drunken
Greeks rushed into house on the corner and
barricaded the door. Caskens and Casey, each
having over a dozen wounds, were picked up
BY the police and sent to the hospital. Lieut.
Cosgroye prepared TO storm the dwelling in
which the Greeks had secreted themselves.
heavy scantling was secured and amid the howls
and wells of the Greeks the officers battered
down the door. A terrible hand-to-hand strug-
gle then took place in the hall Ii took Just
ten minutes, however. TO clean out the crowd.
and when the melee was over eighteen Greeks,
stunned and bleeding from the police clubs,
were thrown into the patrol wagon and taken
OF to the station.

that he was much obliged If the Speaker would

Mr.. Springer replied that he would print the
Speakers remarks in the Record
Mr.. Rogers ARK. suggested that there could
not be any doubt OF what the Speaker had said
In view Of the result of the late election.
Mr.. Springer said that during the campaign
this was "a government of the people. by the
people and for the people," and that he would
abide by the decision Of the people.
The Speaker had put before the people as
question to be considered his conduct in max
ing his rulings. which he had denominated as
the turning aside of the precedents of a hun
dred years, but which he hoped would be the
making of preceden:s for the next hundred
years. This question had been presented to
the American people and their verdict had been
one of condemnation of the rulings of
the Speaker. He (Alr. Springer) regretted that
this verdict had been unheeded. More than
GOO, 900 majority of the people had spoken in
the election in opposition to the House in all
its proceedings, not only upon the rules. but
upon the Mckinley bill, and especially upon the
force bill

At this point Mr.. Rogers (Ark.) rose to inter
polate remark, but Mr.. Springer did not
yield, and the Speaker, with some sarcasm
in his tone, remarked that the gentleman
from Illinois did not desire to be interrupted.
Mr.. Springer replied that he did not desire
to be interrupted and especially by the chair.
The Speaker expressedno wonder at the gen.
tlemans apprehension.
Mr.. Springer manifested his willingness to
yield five minutes of his time to the Speaker il
the Speaker desired to say anything.
