PRTSON INPROTEMENTS.

The PROPOSITIONS now before the Board Of Esti-
mate for the building Of extensions to the Tombs
Prison and the Penitentlary on Blackweiis S
Island are OF the first Importance. While early
action on them Is desirable. in view OF the over
crowded condition Of these Institutions. it Is not
TO be regretted that the Board has decided TO
postponc action until next week, when the OK

TERGTNG or TREASON.

Some people who would regard the election OF
Bryan disastrous are nevertheless seeking
for partisan reasons 10 minimize the majority

Democrats, or good revenue reformcrs or good

Certainly not. The duty OF every patriot Is
to try now TO make an end Of this thing. The

THE HUNGARIAN ELECTIONS.

The general Parliamentary elections In Hun
gary are now I'm progress. They will continue
for several days. but the net result Of them has
been apparent from the beginning. The LIB
cral party, which has governed the Kingdom
so well for several years will again be
returned to power. Despite some sensational
reports to the contrary, the campaign has
been the most quiet and least exciting ever
known. In one or two places there has been
little rloting. but OH the whole, calmness
and lack Of passion have prevailed. There
is, indeed. no issue before the people calcu
lated to arouse intense feeling Count Zlchy
tried to work up demand for the repeal Of
the laws establishing civil marriage and re-
liglous equality. but utterly failed. So did Count
Apponyi fail iu his Nationalist crusade, and, still
more completely. the Kossuthists in their wild
attempt to organize hostility TO Austria. 1t
