PARK CIRCUMSTANCES.
The Boa rd Must Hear objections from
1O4 Persons.

When the Board of Works met yesterday
ii was almost overwhelmed with persons
and attorneys interested in the assessments
of the park benefits and damages. Before
o'clock 104 appearances had been filed
and 143 written remonstrances. Some were
publications 1t was estimated at the
boards office that about one hundred diff
ferent persons were prepared to object to
the assessments. The board did nothing
further than receive the remonstrances and
appearances yesterday. This morning at
o'clock it will begin hearing the remon-
strators on the section extending from
Washington street to Michigan. This sec
ton, doubtless, will consume more than a
day. No effort will be made to notify re-
monstrators when they can be heard, as it
is impossible for the board to determine
how long it will take to hear those on a
given section. From day to day, however,
it is announced, informal notice will be
given through the press reports.
City Attorney Kern says that it will be
competent for demonstrators to introduce
evidence as to the valuation of lands. He
thinks that the remonstrances can be dis
posed of in a comparatively short space of
time After all the demonstrators have
been heard the board will enter a finding
either overruling remonstrances or modi-
flying the assessment roll. as evidence in
PRODUCED may justify. After the roll is
finally made up it will lay with property
owners to appeal to the courts for read
justment of the awards of benefits and
damages. Unless some property owner
asks for an injunction to prevent the board
from proceeding all appeals to the courts
for a readjustment of assessments will not
effect the effort to acquire park lands.
Where tracts are worth less than 1900 the
board will at once close up transactions for
acquiring the lands. Where the tracts are
worth more than 81 900 the Council will be
asked to authorize the purchases in one
communication asking for the passage OF
one ordinance authorizing the purchase OF
the various tracts in the two sections. MIR.
Kern says that unless the board is hindered
by an injunction suit within the next
month IL will proceed TO taking possession
of the park lands There is much anxiety
to know wether an Injunction is to stop the
boards work. Yesterday afternoon G. w
Martindale was discussing the park project
with the board.
II think the best thing the board can do
said Mr.. Martindale. lis TO kick over the
whole thing
"Other lawyers think differently" said
President Downing. They say tine board
has ample authority. OF course, the only
way this subject can be settled"

The shtrt-TatI Progress.

Judge Culberson, of Texas, is
considered one of the ablest and
wisest men who ever sat in the
House of Representatives. He is
typical Texan. He is tall, gaunt
and blessed with rugged but ex-
pressive features. He wears what
they cali in Texas short-horned
collar and bald-face shirt with a
Iow-cut vest anda fong-tailed frock
coat of broadcloth. His hat is a
wide-brim sombrero, and he greas
esJhis boots to keep out the damp
ness. Judge Culberson ohews to-
bacco copiously and talks with a
Texas brogue, but he is not loqua-
cious. He is rather taciturn. He
never speaks unless he has some
thing to say, and therefore what
he says is always worth hearing.
The other day he was listening
quietly to discussion of the for
eign policy of the government,
when one of the party requested
his.views of the duty of the Dem
cratic parry toward the program of
expansion. AS usual, Judge Gull
berson's reply was picturesque and
to the point: 81 reckon we've
done expanded" he said, "and the
Democratic party amt got no bust
ness hangin' on to the shirt=tail-
of progress hollering 'get-up'." >

The New York Sun of Wednes-

about VIM. j. Bennett. of Brook
Ign. Mr. Bennett. it seems. had a
quarrel with his neighbors and
moved out of his house.. The Sun
says Mr.. Bennett will only rent his
house to a colored family and has
published notice to that effect.
/ want a colored family he said,
ito take the house SO as to spite
tie neighbors and depreciate the
value of their property"
Can such things be? asks the
Baltimore Sun. Isit possible that
there is race feeling or race pre-
iudice in the North SO strong that
when colored family cones into
neighborhood the value of prop
erty is deprecated? Wehave been
reading in the Northern papers the
most extreme condemnation of
.Southerners for becoming restless
under negro rule and deaying the
colored ornaments of society full
social recognition. We have been
looking to the north as a safe ref
uge for the iH-treated colored peo-
pie of the.South, as place where
they would be welcomed with open
arms. And now we are told, I'M
blushingly. that the presence of
one colored family in a neighbor-
hood depreciates property Here
is another lost illusion.
