1T CAN'T BIB DONE.

Ii iteration were argument and vocif-
Grafton logic our esteemed contempo-
rary the Times would be most formid-
able controversialist. Charles Lamb
once said to an adversary at the card
table, ''If dirt were trumps, George,
what hand you would hold" If vol
luminous were luminousness, or slang
force, no one would have the ghost of a
show in a dispute with the ''Force
eyerything-your-own way-if you can"
journal located at the corner of First
street and Broadway. But we confess
that we do not see that the HERALD's
position that the hills should not be
ripped up and converted into unsightly
horrors, to please this newspaper, has
been disturbed in the slightest. In its
issue of the 9th instant the Times
said that unless Broadway should be
cut through Fort hill and extend to a
junction with Main street, "there is a
possibility that the palm may be always
retained by Spring street, which now
has the best business, which does ac-
tually lead from somewhere to some
where and may be accounted an invit-
ing highway. Or, it is possible that the
development may be thrown farther
west and that Hill, Olive or Grand av-
enue may become the popular street of
the future"
THE HERALD ventured to suggest that
it might not be an unmixed evil-at
least that it might not be of sufficient
magnitude to make the Whangdoodle
mourn or the dread Gyasticutis gnash
his teeth--if Spring street should re-
main the retail street. This journal has
nothing but good will towards Broad
way, and, as things go, we do not see
that it is necessary, in order to "boost"
that street, to destroy the beautiful
places on Fort Hill, or Fort Hill itself.
We have an abiding conviction that the
people agree with us.
Not only that, but we think the coun-
Gil agrees with us, and very rightfully
so. That body will probably look with
extreme distrust ON the proposition OF
destroying the hill property and making
an unsightly cut in the hills at the be-
hest of our contemporary. Broadway in
New York city was made to respect the
rights of other thoroughfares, and in 60
ing up from the Battery takes a swing
to the left at Union square. Our own
Broadway has no more right to override
the rights of other streets than its New
York prototype, and it is dollars to mar
bles that it will not be permitted to do so,
Ii the ardor of our contemporary is
uncomfortable, let it order the hills to
be demolished at once. Nobody is hold
ing it, that we know of. With its super
abundant energy and will power the
mere fact that the council cannot be
persuaded to concur in its schemes will
amount to nothing-in horn. (See p
With all our heart we advise our con-
temporary to go in and win, if it can
If it can't why, it might not be amiss to
take little tumble to itself. The re-
lations of stone wall to even a hard
head have been understood for now
