The Park Department of Ncw-York is entitled to
honorable mention. In presenting 10 the Board
of Estimate an amended plan tor Toulouse in
Central Park President Dana explained that the
changes proposed would save the city $4,000.
No wonder the Board approved the alterations
without stopping to take breath and no wonder
Mayor Grant rapiurously exclaimed Il am glad
that somebody is trying 10 save the city's money"
The incident is not precisely without precedent,
perhaps, but the historian of the period should
not neglect 10 stick pin here. Nothing like this
can be recalled since Mr.. Kenny, the Supervisor
Of The City Record created CONSERVATION at
the City Hall by reducing the estimates for his
department by several thousand dollars.

century or more ago this melodious Grafton
was held in high favor by schoolboys who
were called upon to "spcall pieces in public
on the stage. Perhaps the young orators of
to-day also are partial to it, In any event
certain it is that they will have trouble To find
anything which better lends itself to effective
defamation. Mr.. Spngue'S great effort is re-
called by a recent Buffalo event Some work

Our readers will be reminded on perusing an
Albany letter elsewhere printed that a State
election of far-reachng importance will take
place on the second Tuesday of next February.
At that time delegates will be chosen to a con-
vention charged with the power of proposing
amendments TO the Constitution. The law pro-
vding for the special election was passed by the
present Democratic Legislature 1t cannot be
doubted that it was fixed for midwinter for the
sake of gaining Democratic advantage since

amply justified its creation. Regarding its fut-

Tho communication from the trustees of the
Tilden Trust to the Board Of Estimate was re-.
fcrred to Controller Myers to make report
upon. 1t is his opinion that nothing can be
done by the city directly toward providing "A
building for the Tiden Library, since there
is no money available for the PURPOSE: and he
says that it will be- necessary to apply TO the
Legislature for authority to make an appropria-
ton for the purpose No doubt Mr.. Myers re-
fleets accurately the attitude of the city officials
on the subject. 1t is important, therefore. that
the question he presented in an intelligent and
forcbc way to the Legislature early in the COM
ing session. The opportunity is one that the
city should, by all means, improve. and il is 10
be hoped that the members of the Board of
Estimate will heartily cooperate in securing the
necessary action at Albany. Brooklyn has al
ready taken steps to provide and maintain "a
library at the public expense. after the manner
of Boston New-York is only called upon to
erect building To refuse to do this would
argue II woful lack of public spirit in this
metropolis.

Its climate. location. the high character of its
citizenship. the beauty OF the city. the greatest
capital of the most progressive people on
earth. IL was unfortunate IN having no direct
legislative representation in Congress- Tho
members of the District and the Appropria-
tion Committee were not directly interested
in the welfare of Washington. The legislation
respecting the District should be entirely d.
