AN ocEAN-FRoNT pARK FOR NEW YORK.

NV EW YORK city should acquire an ocean beach for a public
NW park. Boston has had the enterprise to establish seven
parks on the ocean side. Rockaway, with it's $50 acres and
a splendid beach nearly a mile long, can be purchased for less money
than New York paid for the scant three acres that Mulberry Bend,
cost. At Rockaway, also, there is both surf bathing and saltwater
bathing. The Parks and Fairgrounds Association of New York has
adopted a report strongly urging the purchase of Rockaway by the
city for a public park, and recommends that within the proposed
park there shall be sites for a conyalescent hospital and a hospital
Cor the cure of children suffering from bone tuberculosis. Mayor
Gaynor should be interested in this phianhropic appeal. 1t is
vastly of more Importance to New York to have public parks for
the people than many of the improvements that are readily ordered
and paid for, and none of the metropolitan parks can compare in
their usefulness to the public with an oceanfront park such as can
e established at Rockaway.

SEVEN YEARS EXPENSIVE LITIGATION.

1a HE seven years litigation over the Jersey City water supply,
Ii a discredit to the system of justice in New Jersey, presum-
ably is ended withtthe compromise decision by the Court of
Errors and Appeals yesterday in which the city is denied the con-
tract right for a sewerage system in the watershed at the expense
of the contracting water company, while, on the other hand, the
sum Of 100000 in the water companys bill, representing the price
for water rights to be paid to the Morris Canal Company, is dis
allowed. In value one about offsets the other, but in point of fact
the canal company does not possess the shadow of any right to sell
water and could not collect such a bill except by collision with the
water company, with which it has always been closely affiliated.
During this litigation of seven years the city has been put to an
immense expense. The delays of the law in this State have had no
worse exhibition and the delays in this case, too, have manifestly
Injured to the benefit of the water company.

Mr. BRYAN'.S ELIGIBLE LIST.

NM r. IRYANS interference at Washington in the matter of
AVN the wool bill brought down upon him a most emphatic
rebuke by the Democratic majority in the House. Mr.
BRYAN. novise daunted, now presents his personal list of available
candidates for the Democratic presidential ticket. In this list he
emits the name of Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, the man who
twice carried Republican Ohio for governor against a party organiza-
zion backed by all the resources of the Federal administration and
AH the power of the great corporations. Strong personal pique
explains the omission of Governor Harmons name, while those
of others of little or no national prestige figure in Mr.. Bryans
list of presidential eigibles.

An Eyesore.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
One of the disfigurements of our city
is the advertising wagon driven
through the streets. 1t is not a very
pleasing sight to see a wagon with far
ing pictures of Indians and BLOOD
AND THUNDER" stories driven past
your. home. But the worst side of the
story is the fact that these pictures
hurt the minds of the children who
follow the wagons for several blocks.
L understand that the New York
courts upheld the city ordinance which
prohibits this kin Of thing. Why can't
our courts back up our city in that
manner and relieve US of a great
"EYESORE?" INTERESTED.

DolNGs OF THE LOAN SHARK.

TA ROM so to 400 per cent. for small sums is the rate the loan
il sharkG in New York charge employees of the city. The
sharks have their security in the law, as the money is ad
s,anced on salaries, and can be collected by garnishee execution
judgments in the city paymasters office or by assignment of
salaries. All investigation by the commissioner of accounts shows,
for example, that a fireman who borrowed $4750 had to pay
S13649. In another case a clerk who borrowed $3.50 paid 5000, and
still owes 800. An even worse exhibit of loanshark thievery was
recently made in Boston. And this robbery goes on ino nearly all
cities, and virtually is sanctioned by the law.
