Although Mayor Bcody has vetoed the trolley
resolutions passed by the Brooklyn Aldermen
last year, it is not certain that their acton Is
null and void At the hearing before the state
Railroad Commissioners Yesterday il was claimed
in behalf of the companies that the resolutions
became effective before the veto was Written
Whether the companies will make contest on
this point in the cunts Or seek consent from the
new Board of Aldermen remains TO be seen
In either case there will be delay, which the
opponents of the trolley should feel bound to
rake advantage Of TO the fullest extent. In the
matter OF consents a significant ruling was made
by the Railroad Commissioners, namely, that
where road runs through more than one street
the consents of the property-OwneIs along rhe
entire line are to be considered in bulk

100 or I25 well-directed bullets had paSee"

before they could be counted. Mr.. Little was
modest man. and never kept any record OF thesc
active bulcts which went right on through ana

said ANYTHING about the twenty which re-
maned in his yitals to remind him OF tnose gooc

used TO shoot out his light for him every hlsh'

morning by picking tine shingles off his roof WIN

covered them.
The disDatch closes with the remark that two
wears ago Little reformed and was leading
ouiet and peaceful life. This makes it all the

TIE CURRENCY AND PARTIES.

The Official report just published of the amount
o. currency Of all kinds in circulation meets
ouestion which the majority of members VI the
House are just now ignorantly asking. They
have an idea that the circulation has IN some
MYSTERIOUS way been restricted by the action OF
Republican Administrations. IL may do them
good TO know that the only year OF the last
twelve in which there has been any decrease
whatever in the aggregate circulation outside
the Treasury was the first year OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands Administration. They are talking of
free silver coinage as necessary in order to sup
ply the circulation needed. 1t will not please
but NAV instruct them to know that the amount
of silver and paper rdeemabo i'll silver in actua!
circulation has increased only Sll ,432,949 dur
ing the last year in spite OF the especial oppor-
tunities for its increase, while the circulation OF
other kinds Of money has increased about S4S,-
100000.
This official statement G circulation is pain
ful extinguisher of claptrap about the currency
10 shows that the total amount in actual use
outside the Treasury has increased S11 ,519,G59
during the last month and $50, ,S45,7SG during
the last year, and it has risen at last to S24 %
per capita according TO the official reckoning OF
population. The greater part Of the increase
during the calendar year has been, Us is usual,
during the last six months. The following state
mcnt is compiled from the last annual report Of
the Treasurer OF the United States, except for
the last half year, the figures for which are added

Bennett was found guilty Of perjury yesterday
