II is not for lack of legislation that this city
is still tnprovidcd with the small parks which
have been a good deal talked of for half Il
dozen years or more. 1t is for lack of en-
forcement of the laws by the officials and com
missioners charged with that duty. On May
IL. 1887. the Small Parks law was passed, its
object being to "provide for the location, con-
Structon and Improvement OF additional public
parks in New York City" Ii empowered the
Board of Street Opening and Improvement to
select, locate and lay out such and so many
public parks in the city of New-lork. south
of One hundred fifty fifth St, as the said
Board may from time TO time determine Tho
Board was authorized 10 close streets, and
10 assess damages to owners Of land taken for
park purposes and taxes upon adjoining land
benefited by the new parks. The law was in
tended To relieve the congestion of the most
crowded tcncmcnt-houSe districts of the city,
and was one result of the labors Of the Tenc-
mcnt House Commission. The act authorized
the expenditure of 81 600, 900 year for small
parks.
Six such parks in all have been under CON
temptation since the enactment of this law.
These are the Mulberry Bend Park, the block
bounded by Park, Mulberry, Baxter and
Bayard sts. High Bridge Park in the Twelfth
Ward Rutgers Slip Park in the Seventh
Ward an addition to the East River Park, at
Eighty sixth-st.: Corlears Hook Park, and st.
Johns Park as it is called, at Hudson. Car
mine, Leroy and Clarkson SITS. In the five
years, however, practically nothing has been
done The Mulberry Bend district is consid-
cred one of the worst in the city and this was
chosen as the first site TO be taken under the
law. What has been accomplished toward the
establishment of park here was told in TIE

hostility have been political rather than re-
ligous Ii was therefore only natural that'
when the native chiefs of the two parties came
into open conflict, the British officers should
take the side of those who were friendly 10
| British rule That either Captain Lugard or
| Captain Williams committed or cOuntenanced
any attacks upon Catholics simply because they
| were Catholics is scarcely to be credited. Cap
tain Lugard's relations with the Catholic chiefs
have been most friendly. and his attitude
toward the rival religions has been altogether
| impartial.
There was, however, a premOntiOn OF this
trouble in Captain Lugard's last official report,
which was laid before Parliament a few weeks
ago. and which covered the period from Janu-
AIRY 10 to August -, 1891. He said that there
was danger of serious trouble between fanatlcal
native chiefs, that King Mwanga was alto
cether untrustworthy, and that there was
urgent need of stronger British force to keep
the peace. No additional force was sent and
| the peace has been broken with disastrous re-
| suits Whichever party was the aggressor' and
however culpablc either may be for the out
RACES that have been committed. the ultimate
blame will doubtless be found to rest upon the
system of trying to possess and govern savage
countries with an insufficient force. England
has followed this plan before, with deplorable
results. 1t is high time that it, and all other
land grabbing Powers, learned that, having
seized a territory, they are responsible for It's
welfare 1t is not enough to dclimit a colony
on map and to send thither an administration
or two. An adequate force to uphold the
lawful government and to keep the peace should
be sent, or they should keep their hands off

diversion against Cleveland by proposing a
candidate who may divide the Connecticut dele

the Commission is expected about the middle
of this month.
Now. this rate and degree OF progress are
thoroughly unsatisfactory. The Commission
has demonstrated conclusivey how not 10 10
if. Judging by what has been done, 1t requires
a sanguine person indeed to assume that th's
little park can be got ready for use in less than
three or four years more. Thus it will be al
most ten years from the time OF the enact
ment of the law before the people In whose
behalf it was enacted will begin to feel the
benefit of it, AS for the other proposed small
parks. who can believe that the next century
will not be well advanced before they are
opened? The law provides that the reports OF
the Commissioners in cOndemning property
shall be "made to the Supreme Court without
unnecessary delay" and that when they are
confirmed the city "shall take immediate pos
session. The law has not been complied WITH
There has been unnecessary delay" and moth
ing like immediate possession has occurred
There has been shameful lack OF interest In
this important project on the part OF the city
officials The matter has been allowed to drop

for an immediate change of policy. The tene-

General Porter was able yesterday to an
nounce that the fund for the Grant Monument
which he set out to complete two months ago
has all been pledged. In fact there is already
a small surplus in excess of the 335O,OoO re-
oured, and not all of the contribution boxes
have yet been counted. More than this. Cen
era Porter states that $3.50, 900 of the amount
subscribed has been paid in cash, and he has
no doubt that the other subscriptions are as
good as cash. The completion of this fund is
an event in which all Newly orkers can take
an honest pride 1t is a New-Iork achieve
ment almost entirely, only $4,000 having
come from other cities To General Porter a
large debt of public gratitude is due.

a close yesterday, after deciding to hold its

Union Seminary question has been tac'fully
disposed of by the adoption of plan for the
appointment of fifteen arbitrator to determine
the proper Interpretation of the compact of
1870 in reference to the transfer of a professor
from one chair to another. This seems fair
and equitable arrangement, and there is no
reason apparent why the Seminary should re-
fuse to accept the terms proposed.

Dishonest is not too strong descriptive
adjective to apply TO the Postal bill now under
consideration by the House of Representatives.
Liberal treatment of the postal service is de-
manded by every intelligent citizen But the
Democratic majority are endeavoring to cripple
it by cutting down appropriations that are alb
solutey necessary. Of course they can thus
make false appearance of economy. The re-
suit will simply be deficiency, to be provided
for hereafter To set up a claim of economy
on such grounds is to indulge in the most
valuable kind of false pretences.

Still NO Action on the M1Garrahan
Claim and Anti. Option BILL

Claim and AntLopdon Bill
WASHINGTON, Dec. e1.-!The senate
was rather industrlously inclined yester-
day, and remained in session for four
hours. Several important bills were in
troduced and two were passed, authoriz-
ing the sale of the lands of the Brooklyn
IN " navy yard, and of the lands in
the vicinity of Fort Miffiin, Delaware.
Mr.. Bate (Tenn.), made speach in favor
of the bill authorizing the employment
of federal supervisors and special depu-
ties at elections. When he concluded
his speech there was so little of the
morning hour left that the McGarrahan
bill, which is entitled to consideration in
the morning hour, was not taken up, but
went over.
An effort was made by Mr.. Blackburn
(Ky.), to nave the Hudson river bridge
bill taken up, but ms that would have had
the parliamentary effect of side tracking
the anti-option bill, the effort was sue
cessfully resisted by Mr.. Washburn
| (Minn.), and the friends of the latter
measure. Mr.. Blackburn's motion was
defeated by the very decisive vote of IL
to Al. The anti-option bill was then
taken up and was under consideration
until the time of adjournment, when it
went over without action. Mr.. Palmer
| Qlls.), made an argument against it,
chiefly on the constitutional ground that
congress had no power to define and
punish by legislation criminal otfenses
in states, such power resting exclusively
in the states themselves.
Lassitude governed the house yester-
day. To be sure, no very important
measure was brought to its attention,
but the propositions which were pre-
sented met with little or no attention
from the small number of members
present. The house adjourned without
acting on any important measures. In
fact, one of the Observation-Disclosures of the
house stated that that was its intention
until after the holiday recess.
