oIrINCY HAS STRUCK HIS GIIT.

In his present capacity as the Democratic can
ddate for the Mayoralty OF Boston, our Oh
friend. the Hon. Josiah Quincy, has found Il
Mace with which all his tastes and character
istics are In exquisite harmony. In his former
nosltion as Assistant Secretary Of State he was,

and strenuous for that sedate and soporc at

and the STYLE in which he depopulated the con

proclaimed him the man Of all men TO run Il

the ntolerably hungry party OF which he Is ii
fitting specimen. He caused great consterna-
ton, too by his excursions into other Govern
mental fields Of richness and reward. The char

altogether too insatiate. In the intervals or

The present arrangement is infinitely more
appropriate. In appearance, in manners, in

dered them such excellent service. Previous to
his announcement, made last Friday, petition
had been circulated and numerously signed, adj

the principles he has adhered to. They realize
tbe force OF the remark recently made by Mr..
T.. W. Hinrchs, that 1t would pay the city or
Brooklyn to keep Mr.. White in office perma-

clare that his administration "has been a SPLEEN

much as the people arise almost as one man ana
insist that they cannot yield to his personal wish
IN this important matter, 1t may be that he will
see his duty in a new light. No one will object
70 a tightening of the burdens now imposed upon
the head Of the Department OF City Works, ana
no obstacle will be put in the way OF the d.
vision Of the department which Mr.. White Is
known TO favor But his guiding hand and
brain are needed where they have exercised
such a stimulating and restraining force.

Rv common consent Mr.. Alfred T. White has
made the best Commissioner OF City Works that
Rrooklyn has ever had. SO much Is admitted
nv his political opponents, as we'll as by Repub
licans who would have been glad TO see the
most important department in the city govern
mept conducted lin the interest of the party"
during the last two years. Mr. White has ig
nored notifies altogether in his official relations
He has regarded the Department Of City Works
as great business enterprise, and has conduct
cd il in precisely the same way as he would
manage a private business undertaking. lie has
devoted himself constantly to his official duties
The result Is that the city's business has been
thoroughly well managed The highest standards
have been maintained vast amount Of work
has been done for less money than Brooklyn
over spent before for similar work, and the
work has been well done. New and excellent
Movements laid at low prices; many miles Of
now sewers built: the water supply carefully
and prudently handled; the cost Of street light
ing greatly reduced-these are Il few Of the
toms which go 10 make up the total Of the last
two years.
When Commissioner White accepted the Office
urgently pressed upon him by Mayor Scheren
he did SO reluctantly, and ar a considerable per
sonal sacrifice Prior 70 the last election he had
resolved that nothing would induce him to re-
tain il after the expiration of his term on the
1st Of February next. Indeed, he determined
still earlier not 10 acc( Il another appointment
even II Mayor Schieren were renominated and
reelected Last week he felt called upon to
make quasi-formal announcement of his nten-
ton and declared that under no circumstances
whatever could he consent 10 remain In office
after the date named. His statement was put
in the dearest way. and could leave no doubt
Of his purpose. He said that he had not seen
Mayorelect Wurster since the election, but as
Mr. Wurstcr had been told Of his intention be-
fore November D. he saw no reason why the
new Mayor should feel under obligations 10
communicate with him further on the subject.
But there are unmistakable indications that
the people of Brooklyn are earnestly DESTROYS
that Commissioner White should remain at the
head of the department in which he has rem

Mr.. Reed had a novel experience yesterday
and filed away one letter which he received IN
the days mail with the Endorsement "A rare
curiosity, to be preserved for future genera
"tions." The letter came from Mr.. Broderick'
of Kansas, who wrote that while he might prop
erly claim the craftsmanship Of a committee OF
which. in the last Congress. he was the only
Republican member, he would not do so, but
would leave the Speaker free to place him where
he thought best. There is probably no danger
that such modesty will become too prevalent
among members Of Congress, and therefore IT
can do no harm to speak Of Mr. Broderck' S
remarkable conduct With the large number OF
new and untried members, Mr.. Reeds task Is
one of much difficulty but there Is every reason
TO believe that he will discharge his duty not
according to his personal preferences, but ac-
corling to what the public interest requires.
Despite all the advantage derived from the GER
tanty, long in advance Of his election to the
Speakership it is believed that Mr.. Reed Will
not be able to complete his list Of committees
before the 10Th Of December, and perhaps not
until the Goth.

Apes are not as important an element of COM
merce as they were in the days of King Solomon.
when they shared importance with ivory and
peacocks, the Sldonian ships coming back from
their Indian voyages full freghted with them.
and vocal to such a degree that they were heard
beyond the horizon drowning the lutes OF Cyprus.
and their yelps sreamed down the purple seas
to AIizraim But they still appear from time to
time in the list of imports and one OF them has
lately caused considerable confusion at the Gus
tom House in consequence Of its alleged under
valuation. There is no uniformity in the value OF
apes, there is none in their size or appearance
other attributes and it is not perhaps, surpris-
ing that in adjusting the impost upon an indi-
vidual specimen some difficulties and conclusions
should present themselves. According to Pliny
there We're 5000 different kinds Of apes in one
district OF Africa. possibly requiring 5000 different
rulings of the customs authorities Of Tyre and
other ports to which they consigned. And
there is no reason to suppose that time has les
sened the number Of their varieties Their indi-
Vidual value Is as Intricate problem now as It
was then, enough to bewllder the faculties Of the
entire Treasury Department. and throw the GUS
toms inspectors of live stock into paroxysms OF
madness equal to those Of the halter or the

There is a lu1icrous dsproporton between
the extent of the Government forest reserva-
tons and the number of special agents appoint
ed TO protect them. This is Of the most
striking and Interesting features of the annual

agents number thirty. Their duty is to protect
the timber TO examine swamp lands and 10 in

the timber is a farce: with such a force there

Of Congress TO provide some means OF guarding
them adequately as Mr.. Smith suggests, either
