The Board of Public Works will pave

end when it was made public there was at
once q petition gotten up and signed By
aggrieved property owners to the effect
that the majority of the people down In
hat section of the town wanted brick.
They made this known TO the board, and
the board decided upon brick. No sooner
had they lone so than the asphalt PEG.
pie got up o counter petition and
claimed that it was asphalt that
was wanted. and that asphalt it
must be-. The two factions have been be-
fore the board on q number of OCCASIONS,
and the struggle between them has been q
sharp one. The board has maintained the
position all the way through the oontro-
versy that it was none of their fight. that
the citizens had to pay for it. and that they
ought to settle between themselves what
sort of o street they wanted. This they
have seemed unable to do. and the board
has been forced to step in and decide for
them. 1t vas the intention OF the board TO
have drawn MP the papers for the improve
ment yesterday, but owing to some other
business which arose. and the fact that the
clerk of the board did not have the resolu-
tions there ut the time. 1t was omitted. The
board. however. will declare the street to
be paved with asphalt, and will then set q

The board was at q point of taking final
action on o resolution for the grading and
graveling of Twenty-second street. from

petition of property owners was presented
remonsrratin9 against 1t. for the reason
that it is their belief that the street has
never been properly dedicated to public

demands of abOr. 1t would cost too much.
In reference to the first part of the petition
the board sent a communication to the city

and the latter was tabled.

of Pawpaw street. from Fernway TO Bloyd

GE- RID OF IT.

The meeting OF the Rapid Transit
Commission, after a long rest from its
cNhaustng labOrs. does not seem to
promise any very rapid completion Of
that energetic body's work. MIR. Bushe,
who appears to have a clinging fondnsss
foT the elevated system, made his prop
osition for rival elevated lines. which
might very readily and smoothly be
eased on Into a renewal of dealings
with the Gould corporation. to which
Mr. Bushe evidently has a secret attach
ment But a real, vigorous. live effort
to secure absolute rapid transit seems
to be nearly, II not quite, as far off as
ever.
To be sure we have a momentary
CLEAN of hope through the Reno syndi-
cate business, but II there is any serious
intention to construct an underground
road, why is not something definite and
practical proposed at once? People have
grown suspicious Of these repeated sug-
gestions and look upon them as nothing
more than tricks for de.ay. To the need
of rapid transit is now added the desire
to be relieved Of this expensive Com
mission, and II no practical proposition
is to be made the Commission ought to
be abolished at once. The people are
tired Of the humbug.

HANDS OFF,

The little difficulty In Brazil is getting
interesting to the people of the United

ton OF the continuance Of a republican
form OF government there or the re-
establishment OF monarchy. Hence

triue and getting it ready for use. and
the announcement IL made from Wash
ington that our Government will not
allow the monarchy to be restored in
Brazil by the aid Of outside agencies.
Meanwhile the Nictherov has started
for Brazil. and the other American YES
sells will speedily follow. As 1t ls said
that Admiral Mello has sent out two YES
sells to meet and intercept Nictheroy, We
are likely soon to have some exciting
news. But whatever may be the re-
suit, "outside agencies will please take
notice that they must keep hands OFF,

TIE TRUE LESSON.

The result OF the recent election in
New York has been to revive Republt-
c1rism In the State and 10 regalvanize
the anti-Tammany County Democracy
machine in the city. Was that the intent
OF the electors?
Tho reversal Of the Democratic ma
jority in tho STATE by the election OF the
Republican state ticket ana a Republican
Legislature was condemnation Of tn,
methods OF the Democratic State ma
chine which had forced upon the ps.
mocracy the scandalOus nomination 9;
Judge Maynard for the Court OF AE-
peals and Of machine ruled Senators anu
Assemblymen for the Legislature.
But It was an Endorsement OF the
methods OF the Republican State machine
which. under the guidance OF Boss Plat.
is now contemplating the reversal Of tho
peoples will In several Senatorial and
Assembly districts and the unseatng OF
duly elected Legislators for the purpose
Of securing to the Republicans two
thirds Legislative majority?
The refusal Of between thirty and
forty thousand Tammany Democrats to
vote for Judge Maynard in the face OF
tllE hllFNA 'lhflS VI MI l'h'l ltai
every Tammany man should do his best
to put Maynard ahead OF all other can
didatcs must assuredly b. accepted as
an insurrection against the Tammany
rulers and rebuke OF their methods.
But did this manifestation Of inde-
pendence mean that the Tammany voters
VINO are dissatisfied with the Tammany
machine under Boss Croker are anxious
to resuscitate the County democracy
machine under Boss Power?
The great reform victory in Brooklyn
was rebuke OF McI.aughllnism and Nc
Kaneism, but was IT designed to replace
those leaders by Republican machine
in a Democratic city by the power OF
the city patronage?
There appears to he some danger that
the verdict OF the election in this State
may he misunderstood.
