The New Police station.

A resolution directing the City Solicitor
to apply to General Assembly for author
ity to borrow SOS, 900 for the purpose of
bn;;ding new Central Police Station
was next discussed, Alderman Burrows
opposing the resolution on the ground
that the city is already so heavily In debt
that it would be suicidal to contract such
an additional burden.
Alderman West said that the Superin-
tendent OF Health said that the present
Central Police Station was no fit place for
men to stay in, and as IL would take
year or more to build the new station he
thought that the City Council could not
afford to lose any more time in the COM
mepcement of the plan.
Alderman Ballou also spoke against the
resolution as saddling the city with an
additional and, at present, unnecessary
debt.

The Union Railroad Matter.

The communication of Union Railroad
Company. relative to additional legisla-
tion for improved facilities for the rapid
transit of passengers was received to-
gether with a resolution appointing q
joint special committee to protect the city
from undue legislation that may be asked
for by the Union Railroad Company.
Alderman McGuinness said that the
Union Railroad Company had carried
their grasping for the city's streets ITO
such an extent that il could be termed
nothing short of highway robbery" and
he hnped tha resolution would be nom
concurred in so that he might introduce
a substitute resolution.
Alderman West said that as member
of the committee on special franchises he
had asked Mr.. Jackson IL the Union Rail
road Company would give transfer tickets
IL they could secure twenty-fve-year
franchise, aud he had answered that they
would not, as that the people of Provi-
dence would have to wait twenty years
before they would get transfer tickets.
The resolution was non-concurred in
and n substitute resolution was adopted
appointing joint special committee to
assist the acting city solicitor to oppose
legislation by the General Assembly rela-
tive TO the Union Railroad Company.
Mayor Potter and Aldermen Burrows aud
McGuinness and Little were appointed
members OF the committee for the Board.

would be increased and improved, and con-
sequently In all their parts they would
grow and prosper as never before. The
interest OF one would be made the
interest OF all In the municipal parliament
which would be the consequence Of CONSOLE
dalton. Every district within the CONSOLE
dated area would have pride and concern In
tho development Of the whole. The dignity
and importance OF every officehoder would
be enhanced. He would be an officer OF the
capital of the world. not q functionury Of q
community which merely formed part Of
an aggregation Of people divided into many
municipalities. each fighting for Its own
advantage. when the interest OF oil is their
common concern.
These are matters which will afford the
people within the area Of the Greater New
York profitable subject for Thought and
discussion II the Legislature gives them the
opportunity, to which they are entitled. Of
voting on tho scheme OF consolidation. The
bill providing that the Consolidation Com
mission shall prepare a general scheme
OF union for submission to the judgment Of
the people concerned should pass the Legis-
lature by IL unanimous vote. Not q single
sound argument can be- made against IT, 1t
cannot be opposed without taking a stand
against the rights of the people to deter
mine for themselves how they shall rule
themselves for municipal purposes. No
Democrat. certainly. can consistently vote
against 1t.

on June n. In this. as In many other mat
tiers of similar kind, the Mugwumps are
to he censured for q wanton waste OF scant
political strength. They are. as usual. mis-
directing their energy and misplacing their
efforts. They are laboring with superfiu-
GUS effort In an unnecessary cause. II they
really want 100 900 signatures from indlvid-
uals who will declare in advance that they
will not support the nominee OF the Demo-
cratic Convention In Chicago. there is no
trouble whatever In getting them. Any Re-
publican will sign such q pledge and will do
80 cheerfuly and as frequently as desired.
There were 63l.OOO electors who refused In
1888 to support DAVID B. HILL for Gov
ernor. They not only resolutely refused to
sustain him for that office. but they proved
their sincerity by voting for his opponent.
tho Hon. WARNER MILLER OF Herkimer.
There Is no good reason why the over
whelming majority Of those who refused to
vote for Mr.. HILL for Governor should not.
on similar party grounds. refuse to vote
for him for President. Instead OF getting
the names OF 100000 persons who will not
vote for HILL they might. almost as easily,
get the names OF moro than 100000 who not
only do not support him now. but who did
not support him when last candidate for
elective Office in this State. and when sue
cessful by majority Of 1900.
On that occasion Mr.. HILL received In
this State
14aee more votes than Mr. CLrrxLASs had for p,esi.
dent
s7l18 more votes than Mr. CLEVELAND had for Presi.
don't in 1884
lIbss3 moro votes than Gen. HANCOCK had for rresi
dent In 1890
In 1870.
What is tho matter with getting the
names Of 600. 900 opponents of HILL instead
of 100, 900 only? And what is the matter
with giving PORTER charge of the job? He
knows where to find Republicans. and the
Republicans arc tho people wanted by the
Mugwumps.

prefers to remain away from tho barbor's
chair Tho story has nevor been in print. but
will vouch for It's accuracy
John @. Carlisle should have boon Chief
Justice of tho Supreme Court. and he would
have been. too. but for the treachery Of a GER
tain Senator and tho cowardice Of Grover
Cleveland. 1t came about In this way: The
President was great sdmirer Of Carlisle's.
and lot it bc known to a chosen few that no
was going to offer the Chief Justiceship to Mr..
Carlisle senator -, 1t may be Vest Of Mis-
souri, l will not be positive, called on the
President and told him that it would never do
to appoint Carlisle: that his personal habits
were such that the Republican majority In the
Senate would reject tho nomination. and that
1t would be great blow to the party.
Tho President had gone 50 far rs to put
Carlisles appointment in writing. Carlisle
heard OF the objection that had been made to
him. and went i'm mediately to the PRESIDENT
and told him that he would not accept the np-
pointment. and that 1t was his wish that his
name should not DO considered. A friend OF
Cariisles wont to every Senator on the Jul
dietary Committee then in Washington. and
all Of them. without regard to party. pledged
themselves to report his nomination fnvorably.

labors. Mr. Carlsle's only answer was: The

1t Ought to Pass Unanimously.

The State census shows that tho popula-
ton OF tho communities which are included
In the area that would mako up tho Greater
New York. as described In the bill OF the
Consolidated Commission. Is now toward
S.ooO,0ot. II tho scheme is approved by tho
people, and therefore carried out, this great
capital will be exceeded In size by London
only among the cities OF the world It will
stand next to London. and all others ut u
long distance behind it.
At the rate tho population OF this metro
politan district IL now progressing. in
twenty-five years IL will be moro than that
Of London. In other words. 1t will be the
greatest urban population ever gathered
together In the history Of mankind.
This prospect. 1t may be said. Is no rea-
sonable argument for consolidation: but
that is not sound view. The rcnown to
which city attains rs tho greatest in the
world contributes substantially to its pros
perity. It becomes famous for its preGm-
inence throughout the earth. and that con-
sequence and consideration it may well
prize on other than merely sentimental
grounds. Its greatness and grandeur will
attract to 1t trade and commerce. wealth.
and moral and intellectual force. They
will seek IL rs tho worlds capital. and as
they como they will add to Its title to the
admiration Of mankind.

growth Of those urban communities. now

atod by the mere fact OF their consolidation
into ono metropolitan city and great conf
Msreial. industrial. aud intellectual capital.
The pride Of every citizen OF so dominant a
community would be quickened and in
creased. The public spirit would receive q
new impulse. The politics OF the chief city
OF the world would be larger and political
prizes more attractive to ambition than
they are now.
Those are general considerations. but
they are also practical. The more specific
advantages would be the improvement
which would come from harmonious and
