The Aqueduct Commissioners yester- @ay awarded the contract for building the Jerome Park Reservoir to John B. McDonald on a bid of $5,472,080, reject- ing the bid of John O'Brien, which was nearly two hundred thousand dollars leas. ‘There was no pretense that the O'Brien bid was irregular in auy re- gpect. No objection was made to his ond of $400,000, His deposit of $32,000 was entirely regular. But his bid was rejected, and President Duane, when asked the reason, replied, “Wo are not bound to give any reason. ‘The Aqueduct Commissioners are not required to award contracts to tho lowest bidders, The law gives them Giscretionary power, But this right of rejection contemplates that it shall be ‘used in the interest of the people. President Duane will find that the Commissioners are “bound” to give Teatons to the people why they throw away two hundred thousand dollars of thelr money for the benefit of a con- tractor. Thera may be satisfactory reasons for the rejection of the O'Brien bid. But they should be stated. If they are suMclent, well and good. But if they are insufficient, the courts may hold that the discretionary power given by Jaw to the Commission is intended to be exercised in the interest of the pub- Ue and not to gratify the whims of the Commissioners or to benefit a favorite contractor at the expense and injury of the city. It looks as if another explanation ‘were due from Spain. And if this sort of thing keeps on, the point will soon be reached where explanations will not make up for the firing of solid shot over American bo’ CALLED TO ACCOUNT. The Grand Jury's indictment of the @Mcials of the Third Avenue Cable Company for criminal negligence in eonnection with the killing of James A. Dermody in May last is the first result of the new movement against the railroad corporations. The people will approve a policy in- tended to prevent carelessness in the operation of all rallroads and to afford better protection for human life. No @oubt, in many instances, the careless- ness of employees and the anxiety of the companies to rave expense lead to fatal accidents. But sengers are required to use ordinary prudence them- selves and not by overcrowding or reck- Jess conduct to invite accidents. It is said that the jury is now to take up the disasters on the New York Central and the New Haven tracks. Im this connection there is doubtless Mecessity for changes, especially on the Eleventh avenue lines, in order to protect the public from a great peril, But when shall we hear of the punish- ment of the Brooklyn trolley butchers whose list of murders now stretch: @e one hundred and fourteen victims Yenterday, in justifying the use of pri- vate citizen: tool-pigeons as a means of accomplishing this end, Commissioner Parker declared that the objectionable practice would not only be continued, but extended if found effective, and President Roosevelt added: “In prose- cuting crime we don't intend to con- sult criminals about the means we em- ploy.” The American people can never be persuaded that the use of stool-pigeons to tempt people into the violation of the law for the purpose of informing against the violators 1s not a degrading and de- apicable practice, Neither can our citt- zens be induced to regard men who sell & glass of beer to @ thirsty man on Sunday as “criminals,” although they do disobey the law. There 1s a law against littering the streets, yet it 1s scarcely justifiable to call every person who throws a plece of paper on the sidewalk a “criminal, White policemen who commit outra, in thelr over-eagerness to “make a rec- ord” and captains are disciplined for failing to report sufficient arrests to sat- isfy the two Commissioners, people will believe that something else than a de- sire to enforce a law induces this purl- tanical Sunday persecution, “Coggy" is declared to be as good as beaten in the Onelda district, ‘The monument above his political resting place will bear the pathetic legend: “His heart was too true to Platt.” PROF.

The Park Commissioners of the permanently hyp-| notized burg on the banks of the Schuyl- Kill have resolved that there shall be no mixing of popular and sacred music at the Sunday concerts, which are pat- ronized by thousands of the Quakers. Mr. James McManes, an ex-politi member of the once famous Gas Trust and one of the Park Commissioners, Brew exceedingly wroth the other day when he saw that Sousa’s “Belle of Chicago March" was one of the chief attractions of these concerts, He stat- ed in positive terms that there had been! marriage of the Princess Helena d'Or. many bitter complaints ubout the popu- jeang by the bride's sister.
