PRUDENT Use OF CITY FUNDS

The plan Of the Municipal Art Society for the
removal OF every building from City Hall Park
except the City Hall itself may perhaps be
looked upon in the light of counsel of perfec-
uon. like the suggestion of stately approaches
TO the second great bridge over the East River
approaches which would inevitably require the
expenditure Of millions of dollars of public
funds IN addition TO the huge assessments
which would be levied upon the owners of real
estate
lne irioune has repestedly dwelt upon the
dement's which Manhattan would obtain If the
City Hall were to stand alone for the adm;ra-
ton Of future generations, with no other build
ing between Chambers.st. and Mail-st.. be-
tween Park Row and Broadway. But with our
hundred millions of municipal budgets the re-
sponsibie men in the local government must
necessarily be prudent and discreet The new
Hall Of Records will be a majestic structure

MOVING AGAINST VENEZUELA.

The mornings news indicates pretty clearly
that positive action is about TO be taken by Eu-
ropean powers for the satisfaction of their
claims against Venezuela. Whether there will
be a concerted movement is not certain. Some
intimations from Germany have recently been
10 the effect that patience would be exercised
In expectation of q voluntary settlement by
Venezuela Great Britain. on the other hand.
will apparently show no further forbearance.
Six of her warships are now on their way TO
the Venezuelan coast. and it is arthoritatively
announced in London that their purpose is TO
co-operste with the German vessels already
there in measures for securing satisfaction.
mere parade of ships would effect nothing. so
We may assume that it is intended either to
blockade the coast or. more probably, TO occupy
and administer the chief custom houses until
receipts have been secured sufficient 10 satisfy
the claims. There can be DO doubt that the
British and German forces now there Or on the
way there, will be ample to execute such a pro-
gramme in spite of anything the Venezuelan
Government can do.
What the United States will do is another
matter. which is to be. or rather which doubt
less has been carefully considered. 1t is
eafe 20 assume that the Washington govern
ment is well Informed of everything that is
going on in thar much ve1ed quarter of the
world. It is also safe 10 assume that nothing
will be done there which would be regarded by
II as the manifestation Of unfriendly dis
position. Some time ago one of the powers con-
cernsd in the present controversy with Nenez-
uela had occasion TO take rather drastic action
toward the latter. Before doing SO il consulted
the government OF the United States to ascer-
tain how far it would be agreeable to this gov
ernment for It TO proceed IN the practical CO.
ercion of the recaletrant or dilatory State It
is understood that the result of that consulta-
tion was mutually satisfactory. The United
States did not stand in the way Of the collection
of Just claims by reasonable methods. while
the European power did not do ANYTHING in
violation Of the spirit or the letter OF the Mon
roe Doctrine. A similar procedure in the pres
eDt case would doubtless reach similar end
The attitude Of the United States toward all
such matters is expressed in the Monroe
Doctrine. and is clear and simple This
country would not tolerate the political op-
pression Of any OF its southern neighbors, but
neither would it protect any Of them In the
evasion OF just obligations. whileAit guaran.
tees those countries against conquest or oppres
sion, IL expects them to fulfil their interna-
tonal obligations On the other hand while
II one.s no obstacle to the collection OF jus,
claims by European powers, It expects those
powers 10 present and to collect only just claims
and 70 collect them in q reasonable and TEN
perate manner. The maintenance OF such
POLICY can give no offence. and 1. VIII serve the

A STATESMAN ON THE TUNNEL.

That great statesman Timothy DRY Dollar"
Sullivan, Congressman.elect, has taken a hand
in the Pennsylvania tunnel matter to help his
hopeful nephew, Alderman Little Tim" SulIi-
van in his opposition to the granting Of the
franchise. It is always interesting and profit
able TO know what the statesmen whom we
elect to conduct our government think on pub
lie affairs. Mr.. Sullivan was recently chosen
by q large majority to represent the free and
enlightened citizens of this metropolis in the
House Of Representatives. AS the successor
TO men like Daniel D. Tompkins, Hamilton
Fish, Levi P. Morton, Roswell P Flower and
Abram S. Hewitt in the New-York City dele
cation his opinions on public policy and con.
stitutional law, even on matters aside from
his Congressional duties are worthy of atten-
ton. We therefore commend to all citizens q
careful reading of the views expressed by this
leader of metropolitan thought He saws:
II was elected to represent the people on tba
Board OF Aldermen / would work night and dav
to insist on the eight hour clause and the pre-
vailng rate of wages; and, let me tell you, I'd
DO lot more. d insist to make the contract
SO binding that every employed in the
tunnel would have to be, not only citizen OF
the United states, but also legal resident of
greater New-York.
Now, it happens that Section Of Article "
of the constitution of the United States. with
which the Hon. Timothy Dry Dollar" Sullivan
is doubtless as familiar as with the Ten Com
mandments, reads: THE citizens of each State
shall be entitled to all privileges and immuni-
ties of citizens In the several States" We
know that Mr.. Sullivan belongs to that highly
respectable school of constitutional LAWYERS
founded by the late Hon. Tim" Campbell
whose epigram, What's a little thing like the
constitution between friends?'' takes equal
rank among our legal proverbs with the savings
Of Marshall, Kent and Story Doubtless he can
interpret this provision of our fundamental Jaw
so as to exclude laborers from New,Jersev or
Pennsylvania, or even from Westchester Conn
II, from working on the PENNSYLVANIA tunnel
Nevertheless, out Of decent respect for the
ignorance of his less instructed followers and
Fellow citizens, we pray that he will condescend
to explain the mystery, so that his suggestion
may be adopted without the misgivine which
the apparent meaning of the constitution would
otherwise arouse.
But in all seriousness. what do the people of
New-York think OF a great enterprise being
held up by statesmen who talk such unmiti-
gated drivels What do the aldermen who are
opposing this franchise think OF themselves as
allies of such stupid, ignorant barbarian and
