NEV OFFICIALS ~ BROOKLYN.

The political revolution In Brooklyn dccree,l
by the people last November will be completed
today when under the law the new heads Of
departments appointed by Mayor Schieren will
assume office.
The character Of the men chosen by
the new Mayor to form what is frequently
called his cabinet gives ground for the he
lief that Brooklyn Is TO have Il business admin
lstration for the next two years. OF the thir-
teen new heads OF departments nine are bust
ness men. and although several are personal
appointments by Mr. Scheren, it is true that
the men were selected mainly on account Of
their business training and qualifications. or
the other four, two are lawyers. one Uhc Health
Commissioner is II physician. and one uhe
Building Commissioner is n builder. In the re-
firing cabinet there were only three bust
ness men: and there were an equal number Of
professional politicians. The new heads Of de-
partments will be judged by the record which
they make. The people expect much OF them
and demand much. Several Of them are not
well known to the public, and have yet to de-

occupants OF houses To clear the snow from the

Mayor Gilroy declares his unalterable oppo-
sition to any plan of lending the credit Of the
city for the purpose Of building rapid transit
system. We do not know whether or not he
speaks for Tammany Hall in this matter but
we do not believe that he correctly represents
the general sentiment Of the community. If
private capital can be soon found to build an
underground road. all right If not. the city's
need of rapid transit is great that resort to
extraordinary measures is likely TO be recog-
nized as a necessity.

The brilliant 'ictOry Of Congressman-elect
Quigg should be a shining example to al re
publicans in this city Too many members OF
the party have looked upon New-1ork as q
hopeless case" and have considered 1t waste
Of time TO try to carry so-caled sure Democratic
districts. Mr. Qugg went into the fight TO win.
From the start he carried on bold. energetic.
aggressive and hard campaign. He canvassed
the district from end to end and from side to
side. He wort into every corner Of it, met the
voters. talked to them and explained to them
why they should support him. He made fine
fight and he won it in fine style. Other Re-
publicans in other districts can do the same
thing We want to see the whole party In this
city winning victories by hard fighting.

Expensive Canals.

most ready for business, and the entire
cost Of the work is now pnt at about
$50, ,0oO, 900. The contract was originally

There is something appalling to the
projectors OF similar enterprises in
these figures The canal from Man

has been built in an old and well-set-
tied country, where the soil and rock
foundation were pretty thoroughly
known The climate Of England Is IA
