all a farmer does is sit out in the

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY.

AN OLD FRIEND.

The startling story" told by Matthew
]. O'Rourlte, OF a fifteen inilllon-dollar
issue of forged and fraudulent Aque-
duet bonds in the Tweed days is not
exactly new. It has made Its appear
ance at intervals for the last fifteen or
twenty years.
In substance the charge Is that, when
bonds were issued two sets, or double
the amount authorized were printed.
The proceeds of one set went to the
fund designated; the other set, forged
and fraudulent, went into the pockets
of the conspirators.
The amount thus forged and stolen Ia
put roughly at fifteen millions. They
were per cent. bonds. They are stll
outstanding as good bonds. and II the
proposed rebonding policy la carried out
they Will be replaced by genuine bonds,
| and the forgeries will be covered up and
concealed forever. This is the story.
One curious feature. about this star
| Ting fraud Is that II the bonds are
outstanding, the Interest on them must
be paid. 1t Is surprising that every
year for twenty years or more the In
terest account should have overrun six
hundred thousand dollars without at
| tracing notice.
| Mr.. O'Rourke seems to believe his
story, and 1t ought to be investigated

BOYS AND BULLET.pRooF COATS.

Bullet-proof coats are In bloom every
where now. Only a few months ago We
heard OF the first. Now there are u
half-dozen OF them before the public and
twice as many moro are In process OF
construction. 1t IL strange that where
novelty Of any kind leaps into public
notice Immediately an avalanche OF
variations of II follows and the thing
soon comes pretty near to being a null
sance.
The bullet-proof coat, though. is liable
TO become as dangerous an influence as
the Wild West Show was when It first
started out. With the advent of Buffalo
Bill as an entertainer hundreds OF boys
began to play at Indian killing and
| scalped their small comrades with as
much gusto as II they were real rcd
men. The bullet-stoppInr cdat caught
the small boys fancy quite early. too,
a Kansas youth invented one, put It
on, and his brother shot him 10 d-ath
| through II.
We would advise boys TO bend their
inventive faculties TO devIsing a slip
per-proof trousers basement. and let
bullet-stopping coats alone. They have
more to fear from slippers than bullets
in this age.

FOR THE RAILROADS.

The proposition to restrict legislatures
by q constitutional provision from limit
Ing the damages to be recovered for loss
of human life has been defeated at Al
bany. 1t was. OF course, vigorously OPP
posed by the railroad corporations, as 1t
would leave the amount or damages to
which they would be Liable In wholesale
butchery unlimited. II In inconsistent
that "A man whose arm or leg Is broken
should be enabled to recover any amount
Jury may award him, although he Is
still able to work and support his fam
lily. while for the killing of n man whose
family is left In beseary only five thou
sand dollars can be assessed.
rho excuse for rejecting the proposed
constitutional restriction Ia that the mat
ter is proper subject Of legislation. But
that IL pHltry subterfuge. There In not
a member OF the Constitutional Cohven-
ton who does not know that the railroad
corporations can obtain for money any
law they want from a New York state
Legislature. ana that the limitation can
not be removed except through consti.
tutlonal provision.

FIRST BLOOD FOR REFORM.

The result OF the police trials has
agteeabiy disappointed those who have
seen IN them only n source OF enbarrass-
ment for the Lexow investigation and n
trick of the Police Commission to white
wash the officers charged before the
Senate Committee with blackmail.
Capt. Michael Dohetty and Ward Men
John Hook and Bernard Meehan have
been found guilty and dismissed from
the police force. Five sergeants and two
patrolmen have been suspended from
duty.
Capt. Doherty's position In the force
was due 70 the Influence OF Mr. Croker
himself and ex-Register John Reilly.
Hook was made ward detective
through the influence OF ex-County Clerk
Patrick. Keenan,. These pulls" may
have been regarded as enough to protect
any officer. They we're of no avail In
these trials.
This Is the beginning OF the end. 1t Is
the first practical result OF the police
disclosures and gives the Police Com
missiuners and Prosecutor Wellman the
cred!s of accomplishing the opening tri-
umph In the cause of actual. solid re-
form in the force.

WASTING TIME.

Senator Villas made n speech In the
Senate yesterday defending MIR. Clcvc-
land from the attack made upon him by
the disgruntled German and Justifylng
the Presidents action on the tariff quCs-
ton.
All this is waste of time. President
Cleveland needs no defense and If lie
ever did need one 1t has been furnished
by Senator Hin in his humiliation OF
Mr. German. Nothing can be added to
that scathing rebuke that can sink the
Maryland Senator any lower than he
now is in public estimation.
Neither does President Cleveland re-
quire any Justification OF his action on
the tariff question. His consistent. up
right, honest course Is known to the pco-
ole. No envy. disappointment and mall
ice can change the record: no culoBy can
make 1t brighter and cleaner than II IL.
Every moments time ought now to be
devoted by the Democrats to efforts to
remove the distractions In the way OF
final action on the Tariff bill President
Clevelands record will take care OF
itself, and the country suffers more ana
more while the pledges OF the Congress

A Rapid transit Suggestion.

To the Editor:
1t seems strange that the pluck and enerx,
which built bridge over the East River and ID
now about to build one over the Hudson. does
not also provide rapid and comfortable transit
facilities. Instead Of the present railroads and
tram-cars, the antiquity and ,neffciency Of which
are monstrous reflection the people of New
York. The system Of Australian railroads must
be followed to get relief. This is not . Job for
some gigantic Trust, II Il State question, to be
carried out by the people and for the benefit of
the people only. The voters must instruct their
representatives to take possession Of the land
lying between certain parallel streets the entire
length OF Manhattan Island. and pull down all
the buildings on same and then build four track
railroads, either elevated or excavated, ana

and consequent demand for land beyond the Har-

by putting a tax on land values We would TAXI
from the owners OF It what they personally did
