LEGISLATITE BUFFOONERY.

The Mayor has disapprOved Dry Dollar" Sui
livan's bill relating to the privileges of truck
owners In the city streets. That he would do so
was matter Of course He could not have done
otherwise But 1t Is Il sad reflection upon New
York lawmaking that such n measure should
or could ever have passed the Legislature and
been sent 10 him for considcra tion
The bill provided in explicit and unmistakable
language for three things First that Il certain
class OF men-to wit. all who own, trucks
should be licensed TO stand in the streets in
front Of their homes all night Why licenses
were needed did MOI appear. 1t Is 10 be sup
posed that any man has a right TO stand in the
street, by night or day, so long as he behaves in
an orderly manner, and IT would seem hard.
ship to require poor truckman to pay Tor Il
privilege which Is free to every one else Nor
did 1t appear why those industrious and hard
working men, above all Others wanted 10 stand
up in the streets instead Of going into the house
and 10 bed Nevertheless that In lust so MANY
words. was the first provision Of the bill The
second was that the Commissioner Of Street
Cleaning should keep the streets clean under
and around all trucks that were In them. under
penalty Of having his license revoked. OF course
1t Is his duty to keep all parts of the streets
clean. but why he should pay especial attcn-
ton to the pavement underneath vehicles is by
no means evident Third, the Commissioner
was required 10y this bill to seize and remove
from the streets Of New-York all vehicles. in
Guiding trucks. cabs and carriages. cable-cars

KIyDERGARTEy AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Municipalities AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
One item Of peculiar interest appeared in the
budget adopted yesterday by the Brooklyn Board
Of Education. 1t Is the sum of $l2,0O0 for the
establishment and maintenance Of kindergarten
classes In connection with the public schools.
The putting Of this Item IL the annual budget
to be presented to the Board of Estimate Is
new departure of special significance. For the
last five years band Of earnest men and women
have been laborng in Brooklyn to maintain a
number Of free kindcrglrtens for the benefit
Of poor children IN various parts Of the city
Their work has been carried on with a limited
degree of public support but with fair meas
ure of success. The annual meeting Of the Free
Kindergarten Society has just been held. and
the reports show that bakers dozen Of free
klndcrgartcns are now carried on under It's
auspices.
But 1t has done more than to bring several
hundred children within the influence of sc.en-
tihc training at the most susceptible period of
their lives. II has implanted the kindergarten
idea in the minds Of n good proportion OF the
community, and apprcclably FASTENED the time
when there will be demand that Kindergarten
opportunities be opened to all the children OF the
city. AT this meeting the gratifying announce
ment was made that Il gift of $4,000 has Just
been made TO the s0ciety-by far the largest it
has yet recclyed-the income of which will be
devoted to the partial maintenance Of kinder
gartcn as a memorial to the late husband of
the giver. What vastly greater amount Of
good the money will do thus used. than If II had
been expended in erecting memorial window,
And 1t cannot be doubted that other gifts and
requests will follow the one already mentioned,
and that the work Of the Free Kindergarten
| Society will be materially enlarged In the near
future. In the mean tine strenuous efforts will
be put forth 10 secure the establishment of
k!ndcrgartels in the public schools of the city
strong recommendation on this head WAS made
by the Advisory Committee on Public Educa-
ton. appointed by Mayor Schicren nearly two
