Few people rdcall the fact that the
national Republican platform. adopted
at st. Louis, contains a plank favoring
the purchase OF the Danish possessions
in the West Indies. 1t says that by
the purchase Of he Danish islands we
should secure 8 mueh-needed naval
station in the west Indies" And it is
altogether probable that the matter viii

The admiral further spoke Of st. Thom-
as "a small Gibraltar OF itself, that

DIFFERENCES PATCHED UP

Throughout the city the greatest en-
thusiasm prevails among Democrats and
from the encouraging reports, which are
daily received from every ward and pre-
cinct. the coming election means a Demo-
cratic victory of the old kind
That which is most pleasing to the
party leaders is the total disappearance
Of friction in certain precincts The
primaries in some places of course stirred
up a little Jealousy and animcsity, but
the "hard feelings" are gone the ut
most harmony prevails and everyone is
pulling together for the success of the
Democratic party. The. Fifth ward last
week had little of this feeling, but the
good sense and loyalty Of the principals
in the dispute swept away the unpleas-
antness and now the Fifth ward is right
in the Democratic line.
From Greenville the reports. received
are exceedingly rosy and the Republic
cans are not going to have it all their
own way. Indeed the dicky birds say
that certain members of a certain Repub-
lican club are going to teach others be-
longing to similar club that sometimes
even political friends turn and can do
some damage
The breach between the Minks and
Leaguers, the Clubs alluded to, is as wide
as ever, notwiths landing the we'll meant
efforts of President Michael Schultz, Jr..
OF the former club, to gather. both sides
together, feed them with sandwiches,
washed down with beer and put into
pfac ticas illas tration the allegory of the
lion lying down with the iamb. In this
case the Ms1lEs lion .ay down with the

count of itself. Notwithstanding the
fact that it is a Republican stronghold
there is every reason to believe that Their
majority wlll be very considerably pulled

Hudson City and the lower part of
the city are all right, reported one who
is an authority in that matter and most
encouraging news is received from these
quarters.
Tonight many of the ward clubs viii

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
About Forty of Those Before
the Mayor Will Be
Approved.

All public improvements of any size
are to be rushed through by the officials
with all the speed practicable. This
was decided upon yesterday afternoon
at the conference between Mayor Wan-
ser, the Street and Water and Finance
Commissioners.
So far, since the new instalment law
went into effect, improvements costing
100000 have been ordered or made. There
are now awaiting the approval of Mayor
Wanser forty-nine more improvements,
which win necessitate an outlay of nearly
s2oo,o0o. Mayor Wanser wanted to know
just what the improvements were before
acting on them and for that reason called
a conference.
1t was found that in many instances
residents of a street had applied for the
Improvement of only one block. Sewers
one block long had been asked for, but
the property owners forget apparently
that every sewer must have an outlet.
- eAiS vase VI tLCoO olAte1ll improvements,
the Incidental expenses accompanying
the work are often almost as great as
the cost of the work itself. The Mayor
suggested that the applicants for such
improvements might better hire a com
tractor TO make the improvement they
desire and each pay a pro rata share.
It would be cheaper for them TO do that
than have the work done in the regular
way.
1t was decided. nowever, to get the
property owners iu streets where short
improvements are Contemplated to agrees
to have the whole street severed or
paved at once.
The Mayor will approve about forty
of the forty-nfne applications before him
and bids for the work win be advertised
for at once.
Some of the improvements which ara
to be made will doubtless double prop-
erty valuations IN various parts of the
city

BIRCH ROD NEEDED HERE

A mischievous little boy with snow
ball came near causing a serious acci-
dent this noon at the corner of Jersey
avenue and York street. He with sew
eral companions, who were on their way
to No. school, were amusing themselves
throwing snow balls at passersby AT
TIE above mentioned corner wagon
laden with bags of coal was seen stand
ing on York street. This Immediately
became the centre of attack.
One of the little fellows whose aim
was truer than any of the Others finally
managed to land pretty hard ball on
up York street running from one side of
the street to the other. The driver, who
was in house delivering coal, started
out after the horse. After a hot chase
he was caught near Monmouth street.
Luckily no damage was done.
