It does not in the least change the character
of this exhibition to have all blo0dshed

the last concession to brutality which the po-

the manly art is just pretence to evade the
law. All the testimony in the world to the de-
cency Of the Maher-C -Choynski meeting Will not
alter the fact that 1t has stimulated the hopes
of the rufiianly elements here and elsewhere.
Other "exhibitions" by even more notorious
brutcs are being planned. The men who have
persistently violated the law in this and other
States, crminally arranging matches here to
be fought elsewhere are the same men who
see in the tolerance of their bouts in fake clubs
chance for renaissance Of prize-fghting.
Mr. Roosevelt may have received as hard blows
at Harvard as any Mahcr gave, but he did not
fire the blood Of the plug-uglcs there and set
them schcming to get fights brutal enough for
their tastes.

STILL TALKING.

So far rs we have observed, Mr. Bryan since
the election has said just one thing worth say
Ing and apparently he did not mean that. In
his message of cOngratuatlOn to Mr.. Mckinley
he made this acknowledgment: we have sub
emitted the issues TO the American people. and
their will Is law" but his subsequent utter
anccs create the conviction that when he so de-
clarcd himself he was merely striking an attl-
tudc in the expectation that the applause which
he necessarily Graves would be forthcoming
More and more conclusive Is the evidence that
vanity is the instigaiion Of his words and acts
Many OF his most serviceabc supporters In the
recent campaign are saying. through the news
papers which they direct or otherwise. that the
frcc-conagc question has been settled for the
time being. if not finally. and that at least for
the present the country wants rest. But Mr.
Bryan declares that the fight has just begun
that he proposes 10 make the pace continually
hotter. and that rest Is the one thing which the
country shall not be- permitted 10 have. The
tactics 10 which h. rcsorted In the campaign he

FIFTH AVENUE.

1t seems TO be an even harder thing TO re-
strict traffic In Fifth Avenue than TO amend the
Constitution Of the United States. for the latter
task has been accomplished repeatedly, the for
mer never The present proposition. to exclude
heavy vehicles, except for delivery purposes
from the avenue between Twenty-ffth and Fifty
ninth sis., from October to June between the
hours Of 3 and in the afternoon, came up for
consideration at the meeting Of the Aldermen
yesterday, but was laid over for week. The
majority report of the Committee on Streets Is
against the proposal, the minority report in favor
of it, and the fact that action was deferred Is
supposed to Indicate another defeat for a scheme
which in various forms has been under discus
sion for many years. 1t should be said that In
the present form II Is less open TO serious Objec-
ton than 1t generally has been heretofore
If the effort TO make the chief approach to
Central Park easier and more agreeable for
pleasure vehicles is destined to fail again, we
hope it will not be because undue weight Is given
to unsound arguments. 1t is not true that the
restriction is proposed in the interest Of any
class, nor do we think that it would operate in.
juriousy to any class. All the people have the
same sort Of interest, though perhaps not the
same degree In the limitation OF heavy traffic
in Fifth Avenue that they have in the regula-
tions governing the use Of Central Park The
discrimination Is not against individuals, but
against uses which are supposed to be ON the
whole disadvantageous to the mass OF the people,
and a large proportion Of those who would be
somewhat incommoded by the restriction at
certain times would be benefited and gratified
at other times. Smith driving his truck might
be annoyed but Smith taking his family out for
a drive would enjoy the freedom Of the avenue
II, therefore, the Aldermen are resolved to de-
feat the resolution. We trust they will find
better reason than this for their action
The argument that the various Inconvenience
caused by the proposed restriction would be out
Of proportion to the general benefits which 1t
would confer is more reasonable and, owing to
the topography Of the city has considerable
weight. An immense amount OF heavy traffic
for exam pie. has to do with the Grand Central
Station, and for this reason, among others, its
exclusion from Fifth Avenue, which has an easy
grade just south Of Forty-second-st. would not
be q slight annoyance, nasmuch as both Mad
ison and Park avenues have pretty steep grades
in that neighborhood while Lexington and Sixth
avenues are out Of the way as we'll as much OBJ
structed by car lines The real question there
fore is as we look at It, whether or not this con-
sideration outweIghs the general advantage of
facilitating and promoting pleasure traffic in
Fifth Avenue from 3 to Z o'clock the greater
part Of the year: and on that question there Is
Q difference OF opinion. So far as we are able to

The trans-Savage reservoir is in
good condition. Hardly enough water
pouring into it, however.
The pump house, furniture and
machinery are not tidily kept. The
coal-pen is too close to the stack in
fact, the coal ought not to be dumped
into the building at all. 1t is too small
for an engine house, pump and coal
bunker. AS it is, nobody will want to
take stranger to see the mechanical
portion of the towns water works.
The reservoir on this side is IN a
wretched condition. Somebody had
lately patched up the frall wire fence,
but he forgot to remove a dozen testi-
monials of animal defilement, much of
which by this time, washed by the
heavy rain into the reservoir, has been
gulped down by people unconscious of
its vileness.

question.
