Night Edition that printed first the definite news of the arrival of La Gas- ogne on Monday night. On Wednesday tho Night Edition alone printed the} bond contract between the Governm and the syndicate. Last night it was only through the Night Edition that the people of New York learned of the de- feat of the Gold ond resolution in Con gress. No other paper printed it before this morning. The Night Faition goes to press at an hour late enough to in- sure the covering of all the news of the current day, and delivered in all parts of the city before 8 o'clock in the evening. How much the people appre- @iate a good thing Is shown by the fact that the circulation of the Night Edi- tion alone i» nearly as grent as the total circulation of any other afternoon paper in New York City is MR. CARLISLE'S POOR SIEVE. In olden times the ability to carry water in a sicve was one of the tests Fequired of virgins who served before the altars of a certain god. Fate and misfortune have put Secretary Carlisie to @ similar test. No sieve could be Jeakler than the laws upon which he must rely to retain a full gold reserve, and the experience of two bond Issues Proves that the holes are large as well as numerou They do say that certain cai ‘among the ancient maiden servic | the altar used, merely as a precaution | against accident, to rub oll abundantly upon the meshes of their sieves, thereby making It exceedingly difficult for the water to percolate through them. Apparently Secretary Carlisle thinks he has done something of the same fort by greasing the bankers’ palms with a few extra millions of profit upon his third attempt to keep his reserve full by pouring more gold in at the top, It ts to be hoped that he is not mis- taken, and that this time the gold really will stick. But there is no rational or even plausible reason why it should. Oll and water won't mix, but gold flies to the bankers like tron filings to a magnet. ‘WHO IS BESPONSIBLE? ‘The Republican politicians are assall- ing the Democratic party for its failure to relleve the Government from its f- Manclal embarrassments. They declare that the Democrats are not capable of managing the affairs of the nation. 83.50 | linto [stripe are calling Mayor Strong a traite T Wi odin Rp 2 ef ae phrott ed oy financial policy. hold all its followers. The Republicans are broken and discorfant on the silver question. That fact makes it all the more the duty of the good men of both parties to ignore political considera- tions and act together when the public interests and the honor and credit of the nation are at stake What better record could have been made, what wiser olicy could have been pursued by the honest portion of the Republicans in Congress than to Fave united with the honest Democrats in wise measures of financtal relief? Would they not have made more party capital by such a course than by com bining with the refractory Democrats to defeat all euch measures? STARTLING HEADLINES. Two cartloads of human heads are said to be on their way to Fez to be Presented to the Sultan of Morocco. Shylock remarks In the play of the “Merchant of Venice” that the flesh of a man is not as useful as the Mesh of an animal {it for food. These human heads in Uke manner would not ordinarily b of as much use to the Sultan as would be the heads of so many sheep or calves if they were in good condition But there particular heads happen to be the heals of rebels, and it Is intend- ed that they should be displayed on the | Walls of the capital as a warning to others who may be induced to follow in their footsteps. Mayor Strong has recently decapitated quite a number of rebels against good woverntaent, and more are to suffer « similar fate, Would it not be well if} their political heads could be hung at | the doors of ali the public departments | as a warning to thelr successors. Ix- to DOWNTOWN PARKS. The Senate yesterday passed the bill Providing for the location and Improvement of additi New York ‘The bill provides for the Issue of auch additional bonds as may be necessary in addition to on@ million each year to pay for the land ant for the construction of parks at St. John's Park, the East River Extension Park and Mulberry Bend. The people will be glad to see the|¢ Present’ Legislature acting Mberally the matter of parks for the crowded districts of the city. Expertence has taught us enough to insure good park accommodation in the upper parts of the elty, as the metropolis pushes on West It Is found the wisest economy now to acquire land for park space before the population crowds the new districts, But it will not do to allow the ol and crowded parts of the city to remain without breathing places and small downtown parks are now a necessity for the pub- He health, as well as for the comfort of the people. We want no plague-spots left In the city that may at some future time breed a pestilence that would be Giles's in the downtown wards. The public money cannot be better spent than in correcting the mistake of our fathers and providing breathing places and health and pleasure resorts in the tenement-house districts, TING AND TUM DON'T THINK ALIKE, Orlental warriors are queer ducks, 1 Ting and the General who had Mat-Wel Killed them- selves after surrendering the forts a fleet to the Wojen the other day. ‘Th thus saved the executioners a job, course, but Isn't tt a funny tdea that soudiers should kill them-e.ves when they fail to win battles?

But the people f New York City, who voted In the hope of getting a Mayor who would defy the bosses just as this Mayor is defying them, can stand a great deal of such treason to machine politics aa ts being witnessed at the Clty Hall these days, Why Is it that sorrow always sneaks Into our joy-times?. A young man that fell dead in the street yesterday had in his pocket a Valentine from his wife, With his baby’s picture included in it, and this Inseription: “Papa's valentine from) Mamma." A grim valentine mamma and baby received In return, when the news of papa’s death was car- ried to them, Mayor Strong's explanation of why he appointed Brookfield reads like an honest statement. He insists that he really did not make the appointment for political reasons, but solely with a view If the directors of a bank, before re- tiring from their positions, should rob | the institution of every dollar in its vaults, it would be a little unfair « their part to turn round and accu their successors of incapacity they were compelled to close their dours and suspend payment, ‘The Republican party while in control because | of the Government for the four ars following Br.
