Billboards and Signs.

II is unfortunate that a stand against
the billboard nuisance was not taken by
the local authorities years ago, before the
disfigurements which now so seriously
mar the appearance of the city We're
erected. However, in the circumstances,
the Commissioners order, issued Satur-
day. forbidding the erection of additional
billboards is gratifying and may be re-
garded as a move in the direction of the
ultimate elimination of all these nui-
sances. The Commissioners definitely in
dictate In the wording OF their order to
the police that they may go further and
require the removal of existing sign
boards. 1t IL to be hoped that they will
see their way clear to take action along
this line from time to time until the city
Is freed.
The objection to the billboard rests upon
two main grounds; first, it's glaring in
trusion of inartistic and disfiguring an
nouncements upon the eye. and, second,
its effect upon the public morals. II can
not be denied that even under certain
measure of official censorship the sign
board advertisements carried by high
fences throughout the city are objection
able. The merits Of all sorts of commodi-
ties are thrust brazenly before the public
in screaming colors and gigantic type
often with pictures of worse than doubt
full taste and sometimes grossly objec-
tionable In direct suggestion.
While this question Is In the public mind
II might be well for those who have real
estate for sale or lease to consider better
methods of local announcements of the
fact. The average vacant lot In Wash
inston is an affiont to the eye. Rarely a

Fingy Again to the Fore.

The Hon. William ]. Corners Of the
state Of New York Is again in action.
For a long spell he was on the retired
list. Charles F. Murphy placed him there.
The leader Of Tammany Hall, finding II
difficult to work in harness with Mr.
Corners, who was then chairman of the
democratic state committee. dismissed
him from the place, and installed John
A. Dix. and in time Mr.. Murphy made
Mr.. Dix governor.
Mr.. Corners is not the most amiable OF
men. His phiz and his vocabulary both
proclaim the fighter. He started in life
in an humble capacity on the wharves al
Buffalo. and for a while literally slugged
his way. He had leadership in his com
position, and II won The boss OF the
vharves became a political boss. and the
party Of Seymour and Tiiden and Hill

Passing of the Fine Italian Hand.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t is impossible to contemplate the
course of Italian procedure during the
past week without coming to the conclu-
sion that the fine Italian hand" of
legendary and proverbial fame Is thing
of the past. There isn't a single sugges-
ton of ii anywhere on record. Instead
of employing the cunning which at least
one great Italian writer exalted into an
art i'm his book, which divers medieval
dukes and princes illustrated no less sig-
nally in practice. and which has gener-
ally been regarded as the heritage of the
nation at the present day, Italy took
lust the opposite course. Why. England
Couldn't have been more bluff and crude
than Italy was with her notice to Tur-
Kew to agree to everything within twenty
four hours or have war made on her.
