REAUY TO ACT.

The Commissioners OF the new Brooklyn bridge
have wasted little time in pareying win tue
officers of the East River Bridge Company. Al
their meeting on Wednesday they summary re-
iected the two offers made by the company, ana
directed their engineer to survey new line ior
n bridge between the two cities. Tbs actioh
was prompt and busnesslike. 1t shows that the
commissioners are not to be trifed with. we
entertain no doubt that the company put lis de-
mands at much higher figure than 1t would De
willing TO accept. Anyhow. the privileges which
It asked in the use Of the bridge by elevated rail-
wov trains from Brooklyn could not have been
granted unless the Commissioners had totally
dsrcgarded the best interests or the people
Something would have been gained by striking
n bargain with the company at reasonable
price. but Just how much Is problematicaL The
Commissioners have looked into the subject with
care. no doubt. though only week elapsed be-
tween the formal submission Of the cOmpany's
offers and their unconditional rejection.
The fact that the Commission was unit In
this action will go far to convince the public
that the action Is right and wise. The Commits
sioners certainly have full power to proceed with
the work ntrristed to them without reference
TO the bridge company. The validity OF the COM
pany's charter il conceded by them. and 1t Is
believe that they have no right to cross the lines
Of the bridge proposed to be built by the com
many. But there Is plenty Of room for bridge
in the vicinity Of Grnnd.st without trcncblng
upon the companys alleged or asserted rights.
Tho Commissioners have cleared the decks for
action. They are now In n position 10 get to
work at once and 10 push their work with all
diligence.
The company has ovcrsicppcd Itself by ask
Ing too much II will get nothing. Possibly II has
the power 10 obstrllct In some way the work Of
the Commissioners. but the courts will take care
of II II II In any way exceeds ils lawful rights.
II IL already snid In IT. behalf that It will appeal
10 the next Legislature for IN net compelling the
purchase OF IT. franchise. plans etc. by the
Bridge Commissioners. As 10 the prospects Of
lis obtaining relief by legislation we are not
prepared 10 express an opinion AT present What
IS perfectly clear Is that the Commissioners are
acting lawfully In ignoring the company after
irving In vain to make terms with 1t, and that
1t Is their duty TO push things. The laying out
Of new bridge, the preparation Of plans for the
structure. the purchase Of the necessary real
estate the securing Of the consent Of the War
Department to erect bridge over a navigable
water-these are things of immediate and press
ing importance The Commission has got It's
way. Now let 1t build the bridge forthwith.

TNMASKING " KENTUCKY.

General Hardln's fatal offence is a too near
approach TO truhfulness. That has more than
once been an objectionable sin In Democratic
eyes. lie should have been consistent liar and
hypocritc. He should have been willing to sail
under false cOlOrs and to fight a campaign Of
false pretences He should have remembered
that "a marciful Providence fashioned us holler
"a-purpose that we might our prncerples swa-
der" and should have acted accordingly. Then
he would have had the support of at least the
bulk Of his party 1Ionest-money men would
have voted for him because Of the honest. money
platform on which he was nominated and on
which he was theoretically supposed TO stand
Why n0t7 AS long as he did not rcpudiate that
platform, he was supposed 10 approve IT, Free
silver men would also have supported him, bc-
calsc they knew him TO be at heart with them,
even II he did not-unil after eleciIon-openy
say So. Thus, by virtue Of what Webster called
the wise. judclous, and farscelng doctrine Of
availability, no might have had chance Of
carrying The State.
lie has however, thrown Off The mask which
the state Convention strove to TX upon him. lie
has nvowcd himself. uncquivocnly md cmphat
lcally 10 be In favor Of free silver Thus hc has
substantially repudlntcd The platform on which
no was nominated and ON which hc X seeking
election. That comes pretty near TO being nm
honest performance: about as near ms we can
reasonably expect Of n Democratic candidate
II would have come still nearer 10 II had he done

was too much 10 expect. Even clcvcnthhour rc'
pcniancc liz u great thing, for Democrat l,ul
In this ease The result IN disastrous, The fore

not now be- elected. Other party organs remove
his name from the ticket In their columns All
through the state Democratic leaders say no N

how large the Republican majority will be-
Honcst-money Democrats repudiate him, not
SO much because he Is u freesIlver man an be-
cause he has openly declared himself TO be one.
They knew when he was nominated that he was
free-silver man; yet they We're willing to vote
for him II he would only hold his tongue and
wear mask until after election. hut now that
he throws off all disguise and speaks right out
In meeting" they are turning against him by
thousands He has broken the greatest Of all
Democratic commandments, "Ih0u shalt not get
found out" The frce-silyer men are also dis
gusled with him, partly because Of his lack Of
sense, ms they reckon II, and partly because they
think n man who plays the part " Mr. Facing

devil" has failed again.
What an lluminative spectacle 1t all presents.
How well 1t shows up the austcre virtues OF the
Democratic party! mans principles ana be-
lIefs on the most important questions or the
day do not matter so long as he holds his tongue
about them. The honest-money men In the party
said: I'VE will vote the Democratic ticket be-
"cause the platform Is sound one. NO matter
.'about the candidate He doesn't count The
"platform Is the thing" The free-slver men on
their side said: 1--WE will vote the Democratic
.'ticket for we've got free-silver man at the
"head of IT, No matter about the platform.
THAT is a mere blind. 1t doesn't count The
candidate Is the thing" SO both factions were
willing and eager to vote for ticket which they
knew perfectly well would prove fraud to one
or the other. Each hoped 1t would be the other
that would get cheated. Neither had the slight
est objection to such game so long as 1t could
be carried on under a blanket But now their
candidate. the man who was TO act as bunco-
steerer for each Of them, has himself exposed the
utter rascality of both Of them, and now both
factions are turning upon him TO rend him.

their dues" The election Of Colonel Bradley Is

THE LESSON or COGGESHALLS BOLT


Throughout his political career Henry J. Cogge-
shall has been machine politician Of the most
decided type He is one of the most striking
examples of Plattism in State politics. In his
loud professions of fidelity to the party In his
detestaton of all independent political thought
and action, in his derisiOn Of adherence to prn-
clple and Of all moral considerations, in his utter
disregard Of the public interests, In his greed

The house was bought when he first came to Al
