Let the timid househoders take heart There
is reason to believe that there are no satraps or
none TO speak of, lying in wait about Spuyten
Duyvil Creek to swoop down upon this town in
the event of Republican success. There is no
question but that the announcement fortnight
ago in two successive issues Of THE WOrld''
newspaper that the election of Fassett would
let loose great ilocks and herds and swarns of
satraps upon us who would march over the en-
tire island with the bosom of destruction. or
whatever other deadly weapon they are working
with this year, caused wide pread alarm. Many
readers of "1he World' newspaper bought dis
infectants; it became a habit TO look in all the
closets and under the bed at night some of the
highest paid city officials dropped everything ex-

MAYOR CHAPIN'S VINDICITI0N.

The Mayor of Brooklyn was most importunate
in his demand for vindication when Mr. LieS-
Ter arraigned his administration few weeks ago
for various scandals lie demanded renom-
ination in order that he might take the stump
and plead his own cause before jury comprs-
ing all the voters of the town. The Repub-
licans Immediately challenged the Democratic
marty to place him in nomination and abide by
the issue Mr.. Ziegler consented to become can
didate against him. and to conduct the canvass
on the lines of the Indictment of seven counts
already drawn up. The Republican Convention
was as good as its word. 1t nominated MIR.
Ziegler on platform embodying clear and
definite charges against Mayor Chapin's admin
istration.
The MAYOR had insisted upon having vim
dication, and Mclaughlin and Shevin had ac-
ouiesced in the proposal, but they preferred to
adapt it to the necessities of the situation. 1T
would have been highly hazardous for them to
renomnate him for Mayor with the certainty
that Mr.. ZiegIer with a great popular following
of both parties would be his opponent. They
did not approve of that form of vindication.
They took counsel with Mayor Chaplin, and ex-
planned how essential an election would be in
order to render a vindicaton OF any practical
value TO him, and how extremely probable his
defeat would be if the challenge of the Repub-
lican party were accepted. Under the circum-
stances, it would be necessary to nominate him
for office where the chances were OyerWhelm-
ngly in his favor. For example, there was Mr..
Boodys Congressional district. There was a
solid Democratic majority there. That would
be safe and practical. Mr.. Body could be nom
mated for Mayor and the vacancy filled by an
exchange of offices. That would be full,
sufficient and irrefutable vindication of Mayor
Chapin's reputation
Mayor Chaplin was apparently delighted by
the proposal of a change of venue. Anagned
and indicted by the Republican party before
the bar of public opinion in his town, he was
very eager to appeal to the heaviest Democratic
Congressional district. for special verdict i'll
his favor. If he be elected, we presume that
both he and his cynical masters of the Brooklyn
ring and gang will be equally positive that the
tariff has nothing to do with it, but that it is
simply and solely vindication OF private char
acter from " the foul aspersions of wicked par
tisans.n
1t is not impossible, however, that Mayor
Chaplin will be defeated after all the pains taken
to secure cheap vindication for him. strong
Republican candidate, Mr.. Brstow, is running
against him with excellent prospects of reducing
the majority and wiping it out altogether.

SPYING AND FORGERY

"The London Times" allows one of its CHILEAN
CORES pondents to make wantOn assault upon
the American naval and diplomatic officials III
Chill. 1t repeats upon his authority the stale
calumny that Admiral Brown acted the part of
spy when the Congressional forces were land
ing at Quinteros Bay and returned to Valparaiso
with secret information for Balmaoeda. 1t also
charges Mr.. Egan with forging the last letter
of the dying President and the American au-
thorities with cooperating with the Balmacedists
in cutting the cable at Iquique in order to con-
troll public opinion abroad. All these accusa-
tons appear in an English journal which has
been conspicuous for many years for its hos
tility to the United States.
Admiral Brown has already contradcted the
false charges respecting the alleged "spying''
excursion to Quinteros Bay. The facts with
reference to the landing of the Congressional
forces were known in Valparaiso before the San
Francisco steamed out of the harbOr for the
bay, and no information was communicated to
the Balmacedsts. AS for the charge of forgery,
1.-THE London Times" is on dangerous ground.
Mr.. Egan it was who supplied the evidence con-
yictng Pgott Of trading upOIathe credulity and
cnmiies of that journal in the Parnell case.
The utter collapse of its campaign of defama-
ton against Mr.. Parnell ought to have deferred
it from raising another outcry of forgery at the
expense of the Irish American who furnished the
proofs of Pgott's crimes.
The vindictiveness of the English journal in
repeating these gross lbels upon the American
naval and diplomatic services may be explained
without difficulty. 1t dispatched correspondent
to Chill at an early stage of the constitutional
conflict and he became at once an Over-zealOus
antagonist of the CongtessonaliSts. Upon his
arrival in Santiago he made Bamaceda's house
his headquarters, defended him in the most par
tisan way, and quoted against the Congressional
lists DR.. Johnsons famous saying that patriot
ism is the last resort of the scoundrel' After
predicting with an air of authority the defeat
of the insurgents as inevitable, this correspondent
is apparently seeking to retrieve his reputation
by violent assaults upon the American naval and
diplomatic authorities. 1.-THE London Times y
having been once misled by him, ought TO be
more drcumspect a second time, especially as it
loudly denounced the transportation Of the silver
bullion by the Espiegle under the English flag
as fragrant iDfraction of neutrality. Mr..
Egan, however, earned its enmty by his in
genuity and success in unrayelling its Pigott
forgeries, and it is only too willing to charge
him with the same crime which it failed to prove
against MIR. Parnell.

NO Politics IN THIS PROJECT.

The recent meeting at the Labor Lyceum in
BROOKLYN showed that there is practically
unanimous sentiment in favor OF the COLI
structon of bridge across the East River
from the Eastern District of Brooklyn to some
point near Grandst in this city. Both can
didates for Mayor of our sister city were present
at the meeting and pledged themselves to exert
all their influence in behalf of the bridge project,
recognizing the imperative necessity OF second
bridge in order to promote the growth and pros
perity of that portion of Brooklyn which is not
served by the existing bridge. The same was
true of the Republican and Democratic can
didates for Senator in the WITH District which
includes that part OF the city which is specially
interested in the building of the proposed bridge.
The meeting was emphaticaly non-partsan and
truly representative. What it demanded and
what the people OF Brooklyn without distinction
Of party demand, is not the construction of an
other bridge at the public expense, but simply
the granting of a charter to a company with
abundant resources which stands ready to under
take the building Of bridge as soon as the way
is made clear for it by legislative action.
This is a scheme without any politics what
ever in it. 1t is true that Senator McCarren
took an active part in pressing the bill which
the Senate failed to pass at the last session, but
that measure was a Republican one and bore
the name of Senator Birkett. McCanen is
running for reelection largely on the strength
of his record in connection with this matter, and
1.-THE Citizen the organ of the Mclaughlin
Ring, has been strenuously endeavOrng to make
this an hsu9 in the campaign in that district. But
his opponent Mr.. Schiueer, is just as earnest
an advocate Of the bridge, and has promised to
put forth every effort III his power to secure the
passage of bill similar to that offered last win

ter was read from Mr. FaSSett showing hearty
sympathy with the object of the meeting while
Mr.. Flower, who had likewise been appealed to
for an expression of opinion, remained silent.
In view of his silence the attempt of the Demo
cratic managers-so 1.-THE Eagle" termed them
by distributing circulars at the door to all COM
ers, to make it appear that the bridge project
is Democratic measure, and that the Repub-
licans are opposed to it, was peculiarly maadioit.
The truth is that the only serious opposition
to the bridge comes from the president of the
ferry company most likely to be affected, and
he is prominent member of Tammany Hall.
As we have said, the movement in behalf OF
a second bridge is non-parsan, and its advo-
Gates will show great unwisdom if they under
take to make it appear in any other light The
distribution of the Democratic circulars should
have been denounced on the spot, and such de-
nunciation would have come with good grace
from Mr.. Body, who said that he appeared there

friend of the bridge be deceived. Especially

voter that unless he wanted to take the chances
of having the satraps come down, so to speak,
like the wolf on the fold, he had better vote Tor
Roswell Flower.
The silence of our old Roman contemporary
on this subject since the two issues in which 1t
made the flesh of timid voters fairly crawl
with terror leads us to believe that it has dis
covered that its fears were imaginary. 1t is no
longer necessary to vote for Roswell Flower
to defend lis from satraps. The only induce
ment that is now offered the intelligent citizen
for voting the Tammany ticket is that Mr..
Flower will reimburse the voters for the $780,
600, 900 lost on account of the Worlds Far
The withdrawal of the satrap feature from the
canvass brings great comfort and satisfaction
to the real estate owners who sleep in the park
and whose dreams have been disturbed by
visions of satraps walking all over them during
the night "The World" still insists, however,
that they should vote for Flower because Fassett
has prevented a rise in real estate.

DR.. MaoCracken's first report as Chancellor
of the University of the City of New-Yorli is
document of great interest and value. As was
to be expected, he deals mainly with the present
condition of the University and its future. The
removal Of this institution to desirable lite north
of the Harlem is considered by the Chancellor
at length, and in favor of that step he presents
strong, even unanswerable, arguments. The
five heads under which he sketches his ideal
college show that he has considered the subject
broadly and purposes to build on liberal founda-
tons 1t is significant of the tendency of higher
education at the present time that DIR, Mac
Cracker emphasizes, in his scheme the pro-
vision of opportunities for physical culture The
expectations of the Doctors well-wishers when
he was elevated to the Chancellorship have not
thus far been disappointed.
