out that the Commissioners may find themselves

cries the numbers Of the seal herd, the serious
havoc wrought by Open-Scl sealing, and the
necessity of protecting the herd that an agree
mcnt may be reached in substantial harmony
with ex-SecIetary BayardS original plan for "a
closed Season. This wise and lexcellent adjust
ment of the long standing controversy, our read
ers will remember, was formally agreed to by
Lord Salisbury four years ago, and then, AT

to the disgust Of Mr.. Blyard and Minister Phelps.

TOR Mr.. BRENNiN'S Ear.


If Mr.. Tom Brennan. Commissioner. will
kindly incline his ear in this direction may
be as.c. withou, injury to that olgln, to drop
into it something worth hearing. At the time
Of his appointment to succeed the unlamcned
Beattie We took pleasure in extending to Mr.
Brennan the assurance Of Cur earnest desire 70
he agieeabIy disappointed. We gave him credit
for a capacity 10 work is hard as the next man,
and a willingness to do his best, provided his
best wsS what Tammany wanted. But ii con-
tinues 10 loOk as if an inferior quality of street
cleaning WAS supposed by our rulers 10 be quite
good enough for New York. The new broom
never did sweep clean, even when lis neWneSN
was lis most interesting Characteristic: but al
that time fCIbearanCe was more of Il virtue than
it usually is, owing to the Fact that come novel
obstacles did undoubtedly lie in the way OF clean
lines. Broadway was i'll state OF eruption all
through the summer and fall, Third-aye. was
lust as bad and various other important thor
mlghfareS were more or less chaotic. 10 be
sure this single excuse was stretched 10 cover
a multitude Of heincuS sins, but still We always
felt disposed to give the Commissioner the bcne-
fit of reasonable number Of doubts.
But it does really seem as if the time had
his taxes and keeps the peace and helps to feed
the poor might venture 10 crave little moe
for his money than he is getting. Having read
Mr. CrolleIs article in "Ihe North American
Review" We are aware that the streets of New
York are " clean" that is 10 say, officially" as
Sir Joseph Porter, X. {. b. was wont to re-
mark. But somehow this official SpOtlessness
does not make the unofficial filth any pleasanter
to founder in. Mr.. Brennan has a far bigger
appropriation at bis command than any other
administration ever had the courage to ask for.
| He is rich beyond the dreams of the Tammany
avarice of the past. And what is he giving lis I?
According 10 Carlyle, as quoted by the Rev.
Joseph Cook. eternity is invisible from Paris.
That circumstance if true, is important and in
tercsting, but on the whole less 50 than the fact
| that on 2usty day almost everything is in
visible from New York. including the opposite
side Of the street while in wet weather though
it is generally possible to descry church-seeple,
the possession of pair OF feet has TO be as
sumed.
We are determined 10 be just to the Commits
soner, and il he insists that there has been an
Improvement we concede the point without argu-
ment. Like the law, we care not for Tiics. and
the improvement is too triing 20 dispute over.
But it would be pleasant and even fascinating
to know how the Commissioner succeeds in pro-
ducng s,vh cunning little results with such
gigantic means. And so, finally, we finish what
We began, by saying that il he will tell us how
