CAN 1T BE A TRICK?

When Senator Lcxow apparently in Difference
to public opinion. which was developing last
and threatened 10 upset completely the ma
chimes consolidation plans formally announced
that the governmental 10y commission scheme had
been Abandoned IL was generally assumed not
only that he knew what he was talking about
but also that ne meant what ne said II was
believed that Governor Morton WAS the instru-
ment through whom the pressure Of popular
sentiment mad been exered upon the legislative
leaders. and in fact it was positively asserted
that the Governor had made known 10 them
his resolve 10 veto any commission Dill tha'
might be laid before him We do not know that
this understanding was erroneous, or mat sen
a,or Lexow has any card up his sleeve which
he is not yet ready TO play; but within DAY
or two il has been reported that some parts AT
least Of the new municipal machinery which
was undoubtedly being set up Il few weeks ago
would be put in operation without delay In case
the consolidation bill in its present form should
be enacted.
Senator Lcxow ought to deny this report as
soon as possible. il he can. For II amounts 10
an accusation Of bad faith in fact, Of dclh-
crate deceit II does not appear to be mrr" lhir
gossip which the senator can afford Ia Ignore.
br, a pretty definite assertion 10y persons hk'iF
10 know what Is going On ut Albany under IN
structons from this city Whatever members
of the Legislature and citizens in general may
think about consolidation or about provisional
government Of the prospective Greater New
York, they do not want 10 be- hoodwinked. Nor
do we suppose that Governor Morton wants 10
be tricd with, or even 10 have the people sur
mise that he is being triiied with senator
Lexow will do well to put his course in this
matter beyond all suspicion. perhaps by rising
to a question Of the highest privilege M the
earliest opportunity.

SPANISH AND AMERICAN OUTBREAKS.

The outbreaks Of mob fury in Spain are de-
plorabe, chiefly on SPANS own account. They
are dscreditable to that Nation In the highest
degree. They are causing some loss Of life. de-
struction Of property and disturbance Of bust
ness They are checking the progress OF the
country toward prosperity and enlightenment.
and are making harder the settlement OF do
nestle and foreign problems which must be
solved and which may well tax the skill Of the
ablest statesmen. They are also, Of course I'M
pleasant to this Nation. Americans do not en-
Joy hearing that their flag Is insulted. their con-
suates are mObbed. and the name Of their coun-
try is greeted with excavations. Nevertheless,
these antics Of the Spanish populace do America
no real harm. They may cause some annoyance
and even resentment here But 1t is wretchetl
mistake for Americans to indulge in anything
like an attempt at retaliation. The making of
violent speeches against Spain is deplorable
The kissing Of the Spanish name is silly. The
burning of Spanish flags is contemplate. The
hanging Of the boy King in effigy is detestable
In doing such things Americans disgrace and
degrade themselves far more than the spanish
do for they have so much further TO fall to reach
that level
The source OF offence should be considered II
should be borne in mind that these outbreaks
in Spain are indeed nothing but the ragings OF
a mob and OF a particularly ignorant ana ire
sponsible mob A Spanish crowd IL not 10 dc
compared with an American crowd. 1t ir'chiid

The agreeable prospect faces the people Of
this CITY that, Of the $1,250.O0O to be spent on
new pavements this year, $1,O00,OOo will be used
for asphalt. New-York passed out Of the era Of
cobblestone some time ago, but still 1t is far
from being a well-paved city. But 1t is grow
ing in the right direction. and Is going to Keep
ON growing. Asphalt Is now cheaper than ever
before. and the expenditure Of $1,OOOOOO for
pavements Of this kind will add appreciably to
our smooth thoroughfares 1t Is understood that
pains will be taken to give us two lines or
smooth pavement on each side Of the city as
far north as the Harlem. These are demanded
in the interest Of those who drive and wheel;
but so many Of the avenues are already occu-
pied by railroad tracks that the facilities re-
auired by these classes Of citizens cannot be
fully provided.
