GOLD IN THE GTIANAS.

10 the value OF the region in dispute. 1t was
said to he rich in gOld-alnIost comparable, in
fact. with the gold fields of California. Australia
and South Africa. 1t was added that important
discoveries of gold were what had caused the
sudden influx of British colonists into the dis
puted territory. contrary to old agreement and
had caused the British Government 10 repudiate
its former offers Of settlement and greatly 10
extend its claims. Prompt denial Of these state
ments followed II was earnestly, almost pas

have visited and explored 1t, that the whole
region in dispute was an almost uninhabitable
swamp that the death rate was more than 30
per cent year, and that the resources Of the
country were meagre In the extreme Many an
austere homily was uttered on the awful wick
edness Of threatening war over so worthless n
tract of country. which would never pay the
cost OF clearing 1t up and could never be in
habited save by savages. These latter things
were said not so much by Engshmen as by the
American advocates of the British side of the
case Perhaps those who said them believed
them to be true Certainly no wenformed
man did.
Testimony on the subject which even the most
anonymously Anglophile OF Americans must
heed now comes TO hand. Sir Augustus Hem
ming. the Governor Of British Guiana has been
inspecting the region In question, and "The Lon
don Standard" reports some Of the things he
has seen. Descriptions OF that territory as "a
worthless swamp and "a pesifer0us fever-hoe"
are. il declares. the outcome OF ignorance. espe-
caliy when applied TO the disputed ground.

ALDERMEN AND CIVIL SERVICE.

An important question is 10 come before the
Brooklyn Board OF Aldermen nj its meeting to-
day. when it will be called on to decide whether
it will approve or reject the report of the Budget
Committee in reducing the appropriation for the
Civil Service Commission from $1,000 to $1,000
BY the terms Of the city charter the Aldermen
have power to consider the budget prepared by
the Board Of Estimate. but their power Is limited
to the reducing of items agreed to by that Board
it has no authority TO increase any appropriation
The action of the Aldermen in this matter Is
final and no power exists to alter the budget
after they have finally passed on il. If the Com
mon Council as a whole indOrscs the action Of It's
committee It will do so in plain defiance of pub
lie sentiment and of commons sense. For all prac
teal purposes it might as well reduce the appro
priaton TO so as 10 cut $1,000 from the meagre
amount allowed by the Board of Estimate But
not even the most rabd member Of the commit
tee would dare 10 make such proposition in
public however much he might secretly desire 10
cut off the Civil Service Commission from the
means Of carrying on It's work
Without doubt that work would be carried on
without change If no Appropriation were made
since competitive examinations are an imperative
requirement of the Constitution. and precedent
has already been established in making up de-
fcency in the Commissions treasury by the
passage of an act of the Legislature providing
ii with additional funds. Furthermore the
courts OF the State have passed upon question
almost Identical with that now pending in
Brooklyn. and their decision is not of a nature 10
give aid and comfort to the men who are bent on
starving out the Civil Service officials. The bear
ing of this decision on the present ease is pointed
ont by The Brooklyn Eagle" which has de-
nOunced the act of the Aldermons committee
with gratifying emphasis When an appropra
ton was made for the execution of the Civil Ser
vice law in Buffalo the Aldermen Of that city,
not being in sympathy with reform. cut it out
entirely. A suit was then brought to determine
the legality Of their action and decision against
the Aldermen was rendered by Justice Daniels
The purpose OF the Aldermen was to defeat the
neither the members of the Common Council
nor any other official Of the State or city has the
right or power 10 do When a law has
been consttutionally enacted II Is the imperative
duty OF all public officers, and was expressly
made so by the act itself. To carry its provisions
into effect"
The meaning of this language Is so plain that
even n Brooklyn Alderman should be- able 10
grasp il without asking the assistance OF n law
yer. The Buffalo case and the Brooklyn case are
in parallel The purpose of the city
fathers in both cases Is the same-to prevent the

4 GREAT DAY FOR sEWALL.

That was an oppOrtune moment when MI
Arthur Sewall chose to announce TO an eA-
pectant world his views on free silver. On 'he

to be pleased. 1t presents him as consistent

man took common sense view of Mr.. Sewals
fondness for gold contracts and said: III
"shows that Sewall is a good business man.
"IIe doesn't let his political theories interfere

would be If he did,
That, It must be admitted is strong pres
entation of the case. Mr. Sewal knows
enough to distinguish between politics and
business. Silver is good politics. and gold Is
good business On that both Mr.. Sewall and the
Tammany boys as business men are agreed.
Now, some foolish people might get the notion
that political opinions meant something, ana
that a man should not ask his fellowmen 10
adopt a course of action that he declines 10

saws "What n fool he would be If he did.

Cases Of fatal shooting by policemen in the dis
charge, or supposed discharge, Of their duty have
followed one another in unusually rapid success
sion recently. Another was edded TO the list yes
terday making four within the last two months.
In the latest case the killing seems TO have been
tusihabe. The victim and two companions were
caught in the act OF robbery. and continued to
fee from the policemen in spite of repeated warn
ings In fact the man who was killed dcfied the
officers TO shoot. The latter merely did their
duty They will doubtless be exOnerated from
the charge of homicide and commended by their
superiors.
