To those defenders OF MIR. Thomas G. Platt IN
the Republican party who have doubted the ex-
istence of his relations with Tammany Hall we
commend the report Of the Committee of Twen-
ty-flve which appears in another column. This
report gives. by election districts, the names OF
the Tammany captains and committeeman who'
in the recent enrolment made by Mr. Lauterbach,
identified themselves with the Republican organ
ization to enable Mr. Platt to obtain absolute
control of the party machine in this county. In
examining this disclosure we Respectfully urge
the friends of Mr. Platt to keep in mind (D that
the absolute correctness Of these findings Is at
tested by twenty-five reputable citizens, whose
Rcpublicansm has never been questioned, and
C2) that Mr. Platt himself has. in public inter
view. assumed the responsibility for the enrol
ment at which these frauds were perpetratcd.
He does not put the blame upon his henchmeh,
but defends the entire proceeding III wouio
seem to disinterestcd persons that after such
a revelation as this the defence or MI fla't
hereafter might with propriey be left to those
Democratic organs who delight to honor him.
According to present signs. the report or the
Lexow committee that has been making some
inquiries on the subject of consolidation Will be
presented to the Legislature about the middle
of the week. and apparently. despite the oppo-
sition that will come from Brooklyn, there are
enough votes at the beck and call OF the flatt-
Tammany combine to carry the consolidation
measure through This bill will decree consoli-
dation to take place on January /, $685. ana II
will be followed by other bills establishing
commissions named by the Governor TO take
charge OF the Police, Fire and Health depart
ments Of the Greater New-York. We shall be
curious to see the action of Mr.. Morton on the
main bill. and the action Of the Tammany
members on the supplementary measures. 1t IS
vet far from certainty whether any bill on the
subject can be enacted. in view OF the strong
opposition that has been stirred up and OF the mo-
mentous interests that are at stake. The Gov
crnor will certainly think more than once before
he puts his signature to a measure that VIII
arouse the bittcrcst feeling among large pro-
portion of the people of the second city OF the
State

Interest In Polar exploration naturally turns
our minds toward the North. but the arrival or
Borchgreyink, who has adventured in the Ant
arctic region and intends to try his fortunes
there again. will set us all to looking In the OPP
poste direction. This sturdy Norwegian did not
have the best Of luck on his former expedition
although he achieved a good measure OF success
but the next time he will 90 properly equipped
and with the right sort of helpers, and is conf

an explorer and seems capable Of enduring any

A movement designed to provide Brooklyn with
q public library has been started by group Of
enterprisng and energetic women. 1t Is singu-
lar thing that both that city and NewYork have
Jagged so far behind other cities in establishing
institutions that are reckoned among the fore
most forces Of civilization. New-York's need Is
now in fair way Of being met, and Brooklyn's
will be If the efforts of the newly organized
Public Library Association are properly seconded

Tint is sad news which comes to us from the
far-ofY Indian Territory the effect that our old
friend Springer has weared of his judicial duties
and is anxious TO return to the East And yet We
cannot say are surprised. Springer never did
seem to have the judicial cast of mind. and there
was not a little surprise when he was appointed
by President Cleveland to q judgeship. after hav-
Ing fallen outside the breastworks In the autumn
of 1894 No doubt Springer knows what the buzz
ing OF the Presidential bee signifies. but 1t can
hardly be supposed that he cherishes any ambi-
ton to have that sensation renewed in his ears.
Rather would he prefer q nice comfortable place
In private life somewhere. He has learned the
hollowness Of politics and knows that Its rewards
have somewhat OF the flavor OF Dead Sea fruit.
The Liberty Bell Is safe home again after its
more or less perious journey to Atlanta and back
again. Isn't 1t time that these peregrinations
ceased? What is to be gained by trottng this
relic about the country as II 1t were a prize OK?
The Civil Service Commission in Brooklyn Is
In no sense a city department, but the Mayor
In his discretion Is authorized by law to "em-
ploy' seven citizens to see to the carrying out
Of the Civil Service laws as affecting the city.
In their official conduct the Commissioners are.
of course. free. but they may be removed at
any time by the appointing power. In view OF
the Importance which the Civil Service Com
mission has attained, especially under the pro-
visions of the new Constitution. would 1t not
be well to establish 1T on somewhat different
basis? The Commissioners charged with
the execution OF the law, and yet just now they
are seriously hampered In their work by the
action OF the Board OF Estimate in cutting
down their appropriation. The Commissioners
made it clear when they went before the Board
last summer that $4,000 would be needed for
carrying the work this year. yet the major
ity Of the Board delberatey-it may be said
maliciously-reduced the amount to $4,000.
Whether more money can be obtained from any
source Is q disputed question. II not the work

ment ORR Script Dividend.

New York, May 1.-Speculation at the
Stock Exchange. except in few special
ties. was practically at a standstill to-
day. The sales were the smallest for
any day Of the week, footing up 1885,
514 shares, against $4,000 shares yester-
day Tobacco was the most active
stock on the list, and figured for $500
shares. The stock opened slightly high
er, at IT, broke to 69la. rallied to 7lA,
and fell to 6S%@69h. The early rise
was due to the dismissal Of the appli-
cation for an injunction seeking to re-
strain the payment of script dividend,
statements that the matter would not
be finally disposed Of for at least two
months. In the meantime the Farmers
Loan and Trust is paying both the cash
and script dividends. Sugar st. Paul,
Burlington and Reading followed next
in point of activity. Sugar sold up to
124A and receded to 123&Q124. Burling
ton, ST. Paul Reading, Western Union
and the Anthracites and Southwesterns
showed little of interest. Reading was
strengthened for a time on the report
from Philadelphia of the signing of the
foreclosure decree. The report that the
New York coal companies had advanced
the price of anthracite % cents u ton

fell fiat 1t will be remembered that
the Reading and Lehigh Valley adj
vanced prices early in the week. Lon
don did little or nothing to-day.

day Speculation closed steady. Net
changes showed Il decline of B0% per
