Those Y, M. c. A. Building Steps.

The Y. NJ. c. A. has been induced TO
stop work temporarily on its stone
steps. The steps will of necessity make
an encroachment on both Iona and
Pearl streets. The entrances them
selves project into the streets and the
council made an objection to them, but
too late to do any good. The trouble
with the steps now seems to have been
occasloned by the board of public
works having changed the grades of
the two streets. Instead of leaving the
grades as they have been for many
years, they were lowered several inches.
This necessitated one more step 10
reach the sidewalk grade.

Topping to the Ground.
The flag hung at hslf-mast on the
city hall yesterday caught the sand
stone finale ON the roof directly above
the Lyon street entrance and tore II
loose. A piece weighing ten or twelve
pounds fell In the morning and WAS re-
duced to powder on the granite steps.
No one looked after the matter aud IN
tue afternoon another large piece fell,
striking where an almost constant
stream OK people is passing III and out OF
the building. Either piece OF stone that
fell would have instantly killed anyone
on whose head II might have fallen.
The finale WAS liked in place by an iron
rod extending down through its center.
Water had gotten into the place about
the iron rcd aud in winter bad frozen
and opened the stone. The condition
OF the stone showed that . crack hAG
been opened entirely across It for a
time sufficient TO allow spiders to build
nests IN it. There are similar fnsies
over tho other entrances which are la
bic to be loosened by heavy gale and
thrown down on someone head.

IT is very gratifying to observe that
there is one democratic newspaper in
TINS city that is edited IN pursuance to
the convictions of its editor. The out
spoken and independent tone Of The
Leader is IN sharp contrast TO the sem
lie and pontless utterances OF the
sheets whose editors are inspired by
the desire 10 offend nobody. If de-
mocracy IS right, republicanism lie
wrong. There is no neutral ground.
There can be no language too vigorous
to be used 10 defend 1t. The Leader
speaks to the point, hews to the line;
and although It's keen thrus,s hurt
and sting they command respect. The
weak mouthings, the vapid echoes of
the alleged democratic organs disgust
democrats and provoke the contempt
OF republicans. Because they are
neither hot nor cold they are spewed"
out OK the mouths of their readers
Democracy IS wrong. Its principles
are subversive ofgood government, but
a bad cause IL not made better by indie
cison, imbecihty and inofensiveness.
