REAL ESTATE ACTIVE.

Though the expected tide of immigration
has not yet set in towards Beaumont and
jefferson county, the real estate transfers
for this week MS shown by tho deeds filed
with County Clerk Blanchette evidence an
activity that is more than satisfactory.
These deeds. not including releases. aggre-
gated twenty six the total consideration
being given at $i3.9i3 30 The transfers
We're apporiioned as follows; Beaumont.
ten lots. 81. 80: Port Arthur, nine lots,
$500; Jefferson county. $500 acres, se66S. 80
This is a pretty good starter for the new
year. the only unpleasant feature being
that no business property is changing
hands. As a matter of fact but one business
lot has changed hands in Beaumont during
the past twelve months and that was a sal,
between members OF a family.

Van Wyck's Broad Views.

Mayor Van Wyck, of New York,
will enter upon his new and respon
sible duties with sharply clear idea
as TO the nature and extent of the
endorsement which the people gave
him.
He has had a very full and free
conversation with a newspaper re
porter on the subject, conversation
which shows the new mayor to have
very strong and substantial views of
his responsibility 10 the people as
well as to the party. He 1oes not
attempt to magnify his own perso-
nality or to blind himself to the fact
that be was supported and elected
by men who are democrats and be.
cause he was also democrat
He was q strong party man before
but the result of his election will
make him n much stronger one.
The gold press is charging that
Tammany had deal with Platt.
Such charges are as old as Tammany.
Almost the frat announcement of
Mayor Van Wyck, after his election
was assured, was to the effect that he
was democrat, and elected as "A
democrat by democrats who were
true to the party principles and or.
ganIzation, national, state, county
and municipal. This being the case,
he declal ed that he would appoint
none but true Democrats to office,
Democrats who have been true to
the party-whose political record is
clear and clean.
