4 WARNING TO PUBLIC SERVANTS.

There has been great commotOn in the city or
Elizabeth. " j.. because the Aldermen passed
n resolution permitting the Standard Oil Com
pany to lay pipes through the city. The reasons
anlmating the opponents of this franchise were
tbreefold
First that the pipes would leak and would
he n constant danger to adjacent property.
Second, that the resolution was rushed
through without giving the public chance TO
consider it.
Third that the city would be giving away
practically for nothing a privilege for which
$4,000 was offered ten years ago
The undue haste Of the Aldermen has formed
basis for much criticism and suspicion. Last
Tuesday night the resolution was introduced
in the City Council referred to the Street Com
mittee. Immediately reported from that COM
mittee, and promptly passed. There had been
no intimation that anything Of the kind was
under consideration, and majority of the citi-
zens knew absolutely nothing about 1t until
they read next days newspapers. That the
scheme had been carefully Matched appears
from the fact that on Wednesday morning the
oil company was unloading pipes that had been
lying on railroad switch for four weeks.
Popular opinion soon made itself felt. Two
aldermen who had voted for the franchise were
rerforce compelled by their constituents TO sigl
n call for a special meeting of the City Council
on Friday night, and at this meeting there were
Pre- sent most Of the leading citizeps of the town
ir.cuding the Board of Trade, which presented
strong resolutions condemning the action taken
Alderman Ford presented a resolution revokinS
the privileges granted to the company, and this
was carried by the aid Of five Aldermen who had
voted for the franchise
What motives prompted the Aldermen to
grant the franchise under such conditions and
circumstances may only be surmiscd, but they
tave now learned the lesson that public opin-
ion, properly expressed, is law that no official
can safely ignore or defy. If they had in tho
frs place taken counsel with their constituents
they would have been spared the humiliation
Of eating their own words

GENERAL EITzGERALDS RETIREMENT.

General Tltzgeralds acknowledgment Of his
intention to retire from the command Of the
First Brigade Of the National Guard Of New
York may have been anticipated by some Of his
comrades, but 1t is a cause Of surprise rs well
as regret to the public. It has been known, in
deed, to many persons who, though not men,
bers Of the Guard, take a deep interest In its
affairs, that its condition Of late years has not
been entirely satisfactory to officers and men
most devoted to its welfare and most competent
to judge Of It's deficiencies; and though General
Fitzgerald has uniformly maintained discreet
silence, In obedience to a sense of military obi
cation which has rested too lightly on some
others, 1t has been entirely safe to infer that the
commander of the First Brigade shared this feel
ing. He was, in fact among the first to recog-
nize the necessity for reorganzing the Guard IN
such manner as to restore its discipline and
enhance its efficiency, and he has given his
steady support 10 the plan for enrolling all the
State troops In one division, with major-general
in permanent command. His own thorough
qualifications for that office have been widely
recognized, and n general hope that he might
be promoted to that station will be disappointed
If he adheres to his purpose Of resigning.
There would be an additional reason for re-
GREETING General Ftzgerads retirement If
thereby the reorganization movement should lose
the support Of his influence and earnest advo-
cacy Beyond doubt there has been singu-
lar abatement of interest in this proposal If not
a betrayal of promises, on the part of men whose
relations to the Guard have enabled them large
ly to control Its administration, and some of its
most faithful and experienced officers have been
offended and discouraged by this light treatment
Of important interests. We do not possess Cen
eral Fitzgerads authority for saying that he Is
one of these and that his intention TO retire Is
to be explained on this ground: but 1t is prob
ably safe to assume that the State might have
retained his valuable services If others had
manifested higher knowledge and appreciation
Of their obligations.
