.LlLLEY's LIVELY LECTION
Tho Smiling Congressman k Staight-
 ening Up His Fences Already.

Congressman George L. Lilley will soon open his campaign for re-elec- ton. The indications are that MT Lilley will not have fiowery path this fall. and there are a score of people who say that he will be de- feated. There is no reason in the world why he should be elected. or any other republican for that matter. All the buster and hot air of the last days of the recent congress were made for political effect Despite every member of congress, the trusts and monopolies back of them an OK cuse for a pure food bill was passed and as for the railroad rate bill 1t might as well have been left severely alone. For the sake of political ef- feet. and for use in the coming fall campaign MT Roosevelt took out of the hands of the health authorities of Chicago matter that belonged exclusively to them. It was plainly the duty of the city of Chicago to see that the stock yards of that city were in sanitary condition. They were no worse a year ago than they were when MT Roosevelt ran for president. He knew that and every body knew it. But Mir Roosevelt is a sharp man. He saw where this stock yards business could be turned into political use for his party in the fall campaign of 1906 and all this buster in the closing days of con- gross about pure food bills and pure drug bills and rate bills and so on was simply political coin turned out of the republican mint.
 When the leaves begin to fall re- publican orators all over the land will be heard claiming great things for their party. They will claim that it is due to the republican party that clean stock yards now is the order of things in Chicago. That to the re- publicans is the credit of saving the public health by enacting pure food bill@ And they will claim honors, if you please, for being the means of keeping down railroad freight rates and thereby keeping down the price of commodities and saving the farm CT from the rapacious clutches of the railroads. The fact of the matter is that no one has paid any attention to this pure food bill. this pure drug bill and other seedy and deceptive enactments of congress, only repub- lican party papers and republican politicians and office holders. There were laws enough on the statute books before these bills were heard of to protect the people and the pub lie health, but there were not repub- lican officials with grit enough in them to enforce the laws, and after the present condition of alarm has died out the courage of the republi- can officials will take a rest until the national election campaign is about due.
 Congressman Lilley Is in the field for renomination and some fine day In the immediate future he is going to treat the members of the third ward republican club to great feast, mostly products of the meat trust This is the way he shall open his campaign, and better way, he Gpuld not hit upon.

BROOKLYN IMPROVEMENTS
Do,rd of Public works Listened to Arguments On Changing Of Streets.

The board of public works held meeting last night and transacted considerable business. The atten- dance was very large, a big delega- tion being present to be heard re- garding the Clark street matter and the petition for the layout of Madison street from Baldwin street to Sylvan avenue The new plans which were prepared by City Engineer Lowndes provides for grade which will en- able the trolley to climb the hill without any trouble. It is kept down to eight per cent and in many places 1t does not exceed ' 4-10. There was considerable opposition to the project by James street property owners, but a great majority of the Clark street people wanted 1t, even John Tender son, who will be left without a roof over his head in case 1t goes through, said he would not oppose 1t provided he should be paid fair compensation for his home. The matter was re- 1. ferred to the engineer for an esti- mate of expense.
 ' Miss Simons, one of the youngest Apeakers that appeared before the present board, was heard relative to al petition for the layout of Madison street. She said that petition, nu- eIhously signed, had been submitted to the aldermen and referred >Dy that board to the department of public works early in the season, but the petitioners never heard what action, If any, had been taken on 1t. The property owners, she said, are anx- ious to have the street laid out and 1t is also a matter of some concern to the public, because there Is con siderable travel there and something should be done to improve the walk ing conditions which are poor even now and are intolerable during the winter season.
 Chairman Walker informed Miss Simons that the matter Is on the list for investigation and assured. her that it will be looked into soon. The superintendent of streets was direct cd to lay sidewalks in few places where the property owners have ne- kleCltu lU uO tuC Woth ohu SAANA oS all the cost against abutting proper ty. T. F. Conway bought the timber in the pumping station for $35. Florence Clohessey called attention to the need of making some repairs at James street and James place. The board promised to attend to 1t, but MT Clohessey reminded them that they had said something to the same effect before, but so far nothing has been done to protect private property that Is damaged by surface water from the street every time 1t rains. The engineer approved the sugges- tion of the state highway commits sioner to pay Pagan X Sons $2.0OO on their Middlebury road contract.
 The question of water rates came up and 1t was finally referred to Su- perintendent Kennedy and Engineer Cairns for investigation and report. The board awarded the contract for laying storm sewers In Southview, Lounsbury and Madison streets to Heating & Egan. The three bids for the work were: Pasduale Contaldi, S3,C6S.45; Edward McManus, S2,- e03.63; Heating & Egan, $2.72s.9O
