Far Worse Than Was Ina sined.

How much better the Mugwump prophet
Huilded than ho knew in his virgin denun-
ciation OF President schcming for renomi-
nation. is shown in the intense effort Of
his former ofIlcehoders to fill the Speaker g
chair with the foremost representative OF
OSvelandism. A dispassionate reading Of
the most memorable passage in Mr.. CLEvE-

at the MILLS canvass in what respect the

It is impossible to witness the efforts to

A meeting has been called for Monday
evening next Mt which the property owners OF
Madison avenue from Forty-third 10, Ninety
sixth street will assemble to offer their
protest against the construction OF m
underground railroad In that avenue
The Rapid Transit Commission proposes
to establish there q railroad tunnel
a. feet wide nnd IL feet high In tho In
terror: and the retaining walls on each side
must DO at least IN feet thick. Should such q
tunnel be built, oil the substructures OF the
street. the water pipes. gas mains. electric
conduits. vaults for coal. and coal slides
will have to be removed to somc
unknown locality. In order to build the tun-
mel. the whole street. to the width Of forty-nine
feet, will have to be opened from its surface
down to the bottom Of the tunnel: and thon
afterward tho running OF trains through tho
rock in which the tunnel will have to be con-
structed will cause an incessant vibration.
which will disintegrate the walls Of the build
ings md destroy tho character Of the avenue as
a street for residences. Such an undertaking.
II permitted. will be more appalling from the
actual pecuniary damage IL will infiict upon
the adjoining property than any undertaking
which nus ever been proposed In this city.
It would result In the practical conflscation
for distance OF two and o half miles Of the
property on the only strictly residential ave.

by Prof Eaton that $40 be contributed to the

The fact that the mountaineers OF our
generation are far more accomplished than
those Of u century ago is illustrated by tho
feat Of some Swiss workmen last fall They
started from the Bosses on Mont Blanc In the
early morning walked to the top at fair pace
without resting. and then without moments
pause took their shovels and began digging
for tho purpose OF reaching rock III which a
shelter cave might be cxcavated. A hundred
years ago the natives OF Chamounix who es-
corted travellers up Mont Blanc suffered as
severely as the tourists from the physical dis
comforts ascribed to tho rarity Of the air. and
were compelled to halt every few moments
In the light Of this comparison 1t Is easy TO
understand the remark OF Mr.. CONWAY. who
thinks that the Alpinists he Is soon to pilot to
the Karakorum Mountains will be able to solve
the question as to the greatest height
mountaineers OF our generation can attain"
The mountaineering achievements of the next
generation may considerably surpass those of
the present,
