TIE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

sir. IL w. Gray. who has Just resigned
from the Fire Commission, males some
serious charges against the Department.
He asserts that forty per cent. more mas
been paid for certain supplies than they
could be purchased for in open market;
that three hundred dollars have been
paid for horses that could be bought for
about half that sum-, and that when he,
as a Commissioner, attached TO a coal
voucher a protest against Its payment on
the ground that the contracts In regard
10 weight had not been carried out. his
protest was torn of and destroyed, ~
thus an oHscisl document was illegally
mu'ilattd.
as yet these charges res, only on The
Tord OF Mr., Gray, who may have been
m!sled OF imposed upon by false state
ments. They have been referred by the
Mayor to the Commissioner OF Ac-
cunts for investigation.
This - not a proper reference. The
Commissioner OF Accounts are not the
proper persons to inquire into the ~ofsenses
alleged against the Fire Department.
IL Is their province TO examine the books
and accounts OF the Department in order
to substantive or rtfu.e the statements
made by Mr.. Gray as to the prices al
legged to have been paid for horses and
supplies. Tut the charges OF Official mis-
conduct made by Mr.. Gray ought to be
Investigated by a different tribunal.

BOSS A ePEAKs.

Mr.. Platt showed his hand yesterday
oa the subject OF M!lhollandism and
Quiggery in the Republican party. and
declared himself distinctly and emphat-
ica!ly in favor OF the Milholland revolt
against the regular Republican organiza-
t!on.
1t seems singular 20 find Mr.. Plat
against the machine. But the fact Is

THE cITrs UNEMPLOYED.

The police census of the clty's unem.
ployed tells US that over ~sixty-scven 'hou-
sand persons are out OF work. AMI over
thlrty-nine thousand families are in need

This is indeed n sad disclosure Ii proves
the immediate necessity Of pIshing io--

which he city has already decided. and
OF prompt action for the revival Of the
business OF the country. so that private
enterprise may he called back Ia'o the
field in aid OF labor. II also shows that
the noble work o, charity which has
done so much good this Winter must not

In such an emergency II Is

themselves on the Hawaiian question.
Every hour OF the session OF the Ma

BLISS CHECKS MlLHOLLAND.
There May he Two Sets of Dele
yates to the state Convention.

John L. Milholland, having secured the
Endorsement Of ex-senator PlGtt for his
anti-machine organization of Republi-
cans. expects his scheme to 70 through
with n hip hurrah at his Cooper Cnion
County Convention Friday night. Mr..
Milholland now claims to have the only
real Republican County organization,
and boasts that his delegates will be
recognized by the State Convention.
But Cornelius y. Bliss's Committee of
Thirty or Reorganization of the RepubN-
can machine appears to be a stumbling
block In the way OF Milholland's ambi-
ton, and one that cannot be overcome
without notwithstanding established party
principles.
Mr.. Bliss's Committee was appointed
by the regular County Committee. and Is
acting under authority OF that Commit
tee. MIR. Bliss refuses to be superseded
by the fiery Young Milholland. and will
go right ahead with organization on the
election district plan.
The proba bilities are that there Will be
two County Committees II two sets of
delegates elected to the next State Con-
vention. Republicans think 1t hardly
possible that Plat will carry his spite
against the Union League Club so far as
TO order his State Committee to seat the
so-called anti-machlne delegates.

THE ELEVATED THIRD TRACK.

Judge 1%ngraham's decislon In the Ele-
waited Railroad case was handed down
yesterday. and IL seems TO decide both
ways. The Judge holds that the Rail
road Commission OF 1875 stlll Ives, al
though II has been In n sort OF pro-
lonycd trance FOR many years, and still
has authority TO giant the Elevated
Railway Company the privilege OF con-
structing and operating the ''switchings
and s!dings'' already built between Sew
enteenth and Twenty-sixth streets, on
Ninth avenue. and intended for ase as
a third track. The city Ia therefore de-
MED IN injunction TO restrain the Rail-
way Company from using the additional
tracks.
But the Judge adds that the methods
Of the Manhattan corporation In stealing
tle streets az illustrated by It's eleventh
hour resurrection OF the old Commits
son and the procurement OF Its approval
after the work had been done. proves
mat there Is danger OF Its appropriation
Of the whole OF Ninth avenue for n
third track without legal authority"
Hence. the injunction is granted 50 far
as to restrain the railroad corporation
from making any track extenf!ons except
such as have been approved b. the Rip
Van Wrinkle Comm ssion OF 1878.
There IL a great deal Of performance
for the gallery in this. The decision, In
realty, Is wholly IN favor OF the Man
haitian corporation, which cares nothing
for Pronunciation so Icing as II gets the
shekels.
II the Commission OF nearly twenty
years ago stil has power. as 1t has
shown /, has disposition, 10 let the cor
p2rsiiuu have whatever privileges II
asks. /: can easily give It the authority
to construct It's third track on the en-
tire Nin;h avenue route without saying
~ your leave" - the city. SO there
will be no necessity for Mr.. Gould and
his associates to proceed to do 50 with
out legal authority"
