"The Citixen," as our readers know, believes in municipal bwnership, and is naturally pleased to see that what it used to be almost alone iu supporting in the press portions may be done to Brooklyn. CONSOLIDATION. It is reported from Albany that some hundreds of persons have petitioned the Governor to take ground in his message to the Legislature in favor of submitting the consolidation fjnvsjtion to another vote 5a November1 next.4 Citisen," as a Is, willing to have another vot take, provided the steps in that direction lire taken in good faith, and with this in view- we assented before the recent election to a compromise which would enable the people to vote early in the spring so that in the event of the result being in the affirmative, the 'necessary legislation could be had before the Legislature adjourned in May. To this we still adhere.

It la fair from point of view, and no antl-consolida tionist who has faith in hit case will object to it. To put the matter over until November would be distinctly a move made in the hope of having; the subject lost sight of by the people amid the excitement of the Pres idential campaign. A subject so strictly municipal as this ought, obviously, to be submitted to the people free from all na tional or even State entanglements. VIEWS OF LOCAL. FINANCIERS.

The' interviews published in our columns yesterday wth distinguished bank presi- dents incline us to, the belief that the ma jority of thenrtire in favor or the President's recommendation for the retirement of the greenback currency. It is notice' able that such of them as do not take ex- plicit ground in favor of this are not against it, and go no further by way of criticism than to suggest that in order to hare a currency on a gonna basis we must also increase the revenues. This Hitter suggestion we take to be perfectly sound. It is quiteevident that with a deficiency our Government would be under the neces sity of borrowing, and to do so would in evitably tend to produce some monetary stringency. But the more these gentlemen look into the subject the more they are likely to become convinced that after the Increased revenue for which they contend Is provided It will still be necessary to arrange for the retirement of the green backs if we are to get rid of the.

evil of a redundant and gold-expelling- paper me dium of exchange. It -should be forgotten that the bills in question were justified to begin with as a measure rendered necessary by the exi gencies of the Civil War. No statesman ever suggested that they ought to be retained ag a permanent part of the financial system. By bearing this In mind, there will be the less reluctance in consenting to their disappearance in a time of profound peace. If the Government should ever peed them again it would have all the power now existing to bring them forth.

But all practical men will admit that it cannot be sonnd policy to keep on using emergency powers when the country is in a normal condition, since to do so would be to deprive the country of the power to meet emergencies when they arose. THE FLIGHT OF SAID PASHA. It is not difficult to believe the dispatches when they say that the flight of Said Pasha to the British embassy has created consternation among the advisers of the Sultan. It is easy to see how great must have been their alarm on learning that the man to whom all their plans were known had placed himself nnder the protection of th chief of the European powers. Whether in thus seeking refuge against assassination he will be led to -make a complete confidant of the British Minister may be a question, bnt that the Sultan and the adepts in dissimu lation by whom he is surrounded will be lieve that the ex-Vitier has betrayed them may be accepted as certain.

Said Pasha, Is appears, was one of the few men in the Turkish Divan in whose sincerity the European representative! had confidence. He assented to the programme of reform, and the best possible ground for regarding him as having been actuated by good fai was afforded when he was not only dismissed from the Grand Vizlership, but was marked for destruction nnder the form of a prescribed residence within the Ylldis inelosnre. Experience has sufficiently taught the servants of the Sultan that when they are required to accept his hos pitality, the thing next in order is to pre pare for death. That the fate thus indicated would have been resolved upon for Said had he not been in conflict with the course of the Ottoman officials is utterly at vaiance with their familiar modes of action. Little is Hiked in concluding that he hasarded all In an rffort to checkmate the infamous men who have eoramited the empire to the double policy of dnpliclty to the world at large and systematic murder of the Christian population of Armenia.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. It is by the reports of the pro ceedings before the Legislative Committee, now sitting In New York, that the idea of the municipal ownership of city railroads has ceased to be viewed at imprac ticable, and is becoming more and more familiar to the public min I as, a reform that may be deemed Judicious in the early future. There is still a disposition to assume that the public would not manage the roads so well as the private corporations are do ing, but even ilr. talks like a man who feels that the time hns passed for scouting the plan as unworthy of serious consideration. Our readers will remember that tot so very long ago, it was difficult to obtain a patient hearing for the munici pal proposition.

Men who entertained it were suspected of something closely akin to the wider formaol Socialism. It was the habitual artifice of the defenders of the railroad companies to reprtAeint the advocate of the proposed persons of hair-brained character who were secretly in favor of having all property divided up on even terms. As the matter now stands no man it re quired to make any sacrifice of popular con Mr. Thomas B.

Tea. The phenomenal success of India and Ceylon teas in the British markets, and the consequent rapid displacement of China tea, is an interesting page in the history of modern industrial enterprise. The cultivation of the tea plant in India' on a commercial scale and the export of the product commenced' some fifty years ago. The experimental cultivation of some plants imported from China was un dertaken by the Honourable East India Company, the government of the of that day. The results were so satisfactory that private capital was soon embarked In the industry, from which the government thereupon withdrew, and the gigantic dimensions which tea planting in the bast Indies has attained, is due en tirely to the enterprise and determination of a few Calcutta merchants.

Tea plant ing in India and Ceylon is essentially modern, not only in regard to the recent period of its inception, but also in respect of the methods employed. When the tea plant was introduced Into India from China numbers of skilled Chinese were im ported into the country to direct the un- -I slatted native Indian labor in the growth and' preparation of the leaf, and for a time the ancient methods of these Instructors were followed. But with the influx of private capitnl and of pushing, enterprising men with Western ideas as to cleanliness in manufacturing articles used for food, and also with the modern training as to the advantages which the use of machinery gives over hand labor, came a rapid revolution In the methods of pre paring the leaf. The tea plant itself was found to he susceptible or improvement and the selection of vigorous plants of crosses raised between the indigenous va riety and tne plants imported from China goon commenced, a selection which is still going on Trom day to nay, and which, though it has already had a marked influence on the character and qnnlityof the leaf will continue to progress in these directions go long as the intelligent application of the principles of selection re applied. The result of the selection of seed is shown, not only in the quantity of leaf produced per acre, but in the annlity of the prepared article.

aud in the strength and flavor of the infusion. The radical change in the methods of preparation be understood' when it is rememliered tlint a Chinese or a Japanese tea mnnnfacturer requires only a mat or two, a little charcoal and a few baskets an outfit whereas fl tea factory in India or Ceylon, contains thousands of dollars worth of machinery, when the leaf is once off the bush and in the factory it goes through all the processes of manufacture by means of machinery, and is not touched by hand, These msohines are of special construction, and of the most modern type, yet so great i the competition in trying to reach a higher and higher standard of excellence, that not only are the machines in use being constantly improved upon, but' entirely new inventions are always being brought forward adapted to this end, and to lessen the cost of production. The result or this aeen rivalry among the modern planters hns brought about the most astonishing revolution in the trade in tea In I.ondon. the Inrgest tea market in the world, as the following fignres will show: In 1H12 the consumption of China tea in Groat Britain was ho.ikhi.uihi pounds; in 1872. Hl.nOO.OOO pounds: in 1H82 m.itfN"i,000 pounds: in 1R02.

34.000- 000 tmmtd: in 1S1I4. 2fl.000.000 pounds. 1SCS2 500.000 pounds of India and Cer- 'on tens were consumed In Ureat Britain. 1S72 the figures advanced to 17.000.000 pounds: in 1SS2. 51,000.000 pounds passed into consumption; in :) pounds were used, while in 104 the consumption rose to 18S.0OO.- 000 pounds.

This phenomenal In crease is -due entirely to the ct that the tea drinkers of Great Bnt-n have been made aware of the entire bsenee of foreign et'orihg substances in India and Ceylon tens, and oo to the fact that the leaves ore manipulated en- irelv by machinery ns wer. ns to their greater strength, which makes them more economical.

A meeting of the Irish American Demo-era tin Campaign Committee was held last evening at the residence W. H. Dowses, No. 35 Joralemon street. It will be remembered that this committee wag organized at the commeacfnent of the recent campaign for the purpose of Inducing Irish-Americana to desert the Shepard party, and that the committee succeeded admirably hat been demonstrated by the great falling eff hv the Shepard vote.

The committee met last evening- so that each member would have ao opportunity to express his ideas aa to the eauaa of Mr. Grout's defeat Mr, Downss stated that much as be regretted Mr, Grout's defeat, oue consolation was left that of defeating Hanbury, of the Eighth Ward, who was so much opposed to Irishmen, and Heonea-sy, of the Tenth Ward, who voted in the last Legislature to prohibit that grroeo flag from being raised oa public buildings on St Patrick's day.

John O'Leary, of the Twentieth Ward, said that although he worked for the party as he never had done before, he waa suspicious of the result "In the first place," said he.

THE PEOPLE. THE TROLLEY AND THE ALDERMEN. It wag made clear enough by the adverse demonstration made before the Railroad Committee of the Board of Aldermen last night that the people of the city hare bad about as much of the trailer, under present conditions, they believe to be good for) them. Not until something effective is done toward the regulation of speed will they to any considerable extension of the system.

The accidents of almost daily oc currence, and the long list of deaths bare produced something closely resembling a reign of terror. Every day the feeling is spreading that no man's child can venture upon the streets in safety and that farther encouragement to the companies must mean an intolerable restriction of the liberty of movement which has hitherto been characteristic of our population. The most sluggish minds in the community are gradually being worked up to a realization of the foot that their own homes are likely in due time to be visited by the affliction which has destroyed the happiness of so many others if a stop is not put to the murderous manner in which the trolley men have been conducting their business. It is not to be denied that men are pleased to get to and from their places of business wlth-ae. littla-delay as possible, but, on the other hand, the camber of men is not great who are willing to accept this convenience at the constant risk of having to pay for It with the lives of those nearest and dearest to them.

What is now proposed by the companies is that practically every street not already placed at their disposal (ball be handed over to mem. There is indeed some rivalry between the companies as to the division that shall be made between them of the as yet unirolleyited thoroughfares, hut what they are agreed upon is that, according to some plan to be matured by nd by, there shall be no street of importance excluded from their clutches. It is not at sll unlikely, despite the appearance of conflict which they present exhibit, that they have already come to a secret understanding, and experience renders the conclusion highly probable that before very long all the lines will be nnder one management What has happened to the gas companies Is certain to take place in the railroad sphere. The fighting, such at it is. Is a mere conflict over terms, and it seed not surprise the readers of "The Citisen" to learn any day that an amicable arrangement hat been reached.

It is absurd, therefore, for the public to waste any tort of sympathy upon one of the companies as against any other. Flynn, Rogsiter or Tartrldge all mean the same thing In the long ran. In due time they will harmonise their differences, and the city will be their oyster if the people are not on the alert for their own protection. The proposition of the present Board of Aldermen to deal with the pending applications should be regarded as evidence of perfect readiness on the part of the Board to grant to the comixinles whatever they desire in exchange for Boodle. Were either the companies or o.

majority of the Aldermen honest there wonld be no thought entertained of securing; or granting new privileges at this time. Honest Aldermen would cho line to act upon a subject of so much importance at the close of their term, and no railroad company which relied npon reason alone would ask to have its application passed upon by such officials. The last month in the term is selected for the carrying out of the conspiracy, because most of the Aldermen who are about to retire to private life are prepared, it is believed, to betray the people from whom they know Tery well they can never hope for future favor. They are about to siuk into obscurity, and they mean, we should Judge, to carry with them as much of the money of the railroad companies at the latter can be Induced to give for their votes. The priile will make no mistake in assuming this to be the truth, end shaping their course accordingly.

All that we know of the Aldermen and railroad companies alike warrants ns In believing that there it a I'leme of wholesale boodleism on foot. It from every point of view well to have r.TogniiM by the public, by the Mayor. s.b.1 by the courts. Unless this Is done, a Ioo GRAND and UPRIGHT PIANOS.

Henry Ofrermsa'l Patrona filrea Grand Holiday Exhibition of Paintings, A choice collection of oil paintings, en titled "A Trip to the Holy Land," was placed on exhibition yesterday afternoon in a beautifully equipped gallery on the third floor of Henry Offerman store, Fulton and Dumeld streets. The collection comprises six magnificent pictures, 5x7 feet in site, and one from the brush of the celebrated Hungarian artist, G.

S. Perhacs. The paintings are richly framed and shown in fine advantage by- clever hanging, the best light and rest against a background of maroon-hued plush. Ihe display is nutler the auspices of the Kings 'Daughters' Art and Industrial Ex hibition. Mr.

G. S. Perhacs, the author of the paintings, is an ci-ofticio of the Hungarian Army. He was member of the Geo graphical Institute of Vienna. While work ing under the auspices of that world-famous' institution he was commissioned to draft maps of Palestine and surrounding countries for' the Australian Government Being there, he improved the opportunity of satisfying his artistic tastes by making numerous sketches of the moat beautiful sites and traditional places of the Saviour's life and ministry.

I he pictures iu the collection illustrate the or tMitotuou temple, fc.ll- sna fountain, Mainana and Nasareth. It took Mr. Perhacs three, years to complete the set. In their entirety the collection appeals to tne artistic nature ana shows tne author has been a verv close stu dent of nature. Individually, the paintings are gems ot tne orusn.

l-eople who nave been to the Holy Land and have visited ths places the artist has so cleverly reproduced on canvas declare that Mr. Perhacs has afforded the public the most truthful ple- 11 res in existence, the artist lias given the strictest attention to -detail and ju diciously used color with delightful pfFeet. He has pfaced-on eagras just what he saw on his trip, whether there was a morning. midday or afternoon sky, and the atmos phere effects are wonderful. Jerusalem, tne site ot Solomon femnle, is probably the cleverest piece of brush work in the collection.

He has allowed the picture to tell its own story. The eolor- nx, light and shadows and eunlicht effects are exquisitely neptctea. and showing the grave of I.iz.irr,s and uiiuaiu. .1 u.mtv II II, 1 Mount Olivet, the niaee of the Lord's as cension, are portrayed with arrent attention to detail.

Nothing should be grained for the County Treasurer's side of the controversy in the proceedings brought by William B. Ma- guire for re-instatement in hit position of clerk on the groundV that as a veteran, be could not have been removed except 'on charges and after a fair hearing, by the at tempt to cast reflections upon Maguire, because of his change of name. Any man has an absolute right to chauge bis name, as the courts have decided, provided it is not done for an improper purpose; and if Mr. Maguire can prove, eg he claims, that he served in the army under an assumed name, only so as to conceal his enlistment from his family, the fact will not hurt him in the eyes of any fair-minded person. The question is then, Being; a veteran, and hon I orably discharged at the close of the war.

had the County Treasurer the right to oust him from office as he did simply to make room a Republican' supporter? If the business revival of the present year is in any way due to the Republican victory of 1894 and to the consequent election of a Republican Congress, how is it that business has -been more depressed since the Republican victory this aud as the session of the new Republican Congress ap proached? Since the Republican victory clearings have diminished, the price of stocks and of all commodities declined, and gold has been going abroad largely. Even Republican ingenuity has failed to find an explanation of this coincidence. NEWS OF THE DAY.

THE EXAMINATION OF CHIEF Nothing more nbsurd can well be iniag liied as taking place in real life than the examination to which Acting Chief of Po lice Peter Conliu, of New York," was sub jected yesterday by the Police Board before he was made chief in fact; and nothing that any one opposed to the Civjl Service reform could say. is so well calculated to bring it ii(to -contempt as this performance by those who are undertaking to sustain it. Mr. Coul in has been on the New York police force for twenty-six years consecutively, and has 'risen from the position of patrolman to that of roundsman, to sergeant, to captain, to inspector, and under the present Board, to Chief.

Not a living being who knows anything about his service has a doubt that he is a' fully competent man. and still less should any members of the Police Board have any. Yet it was deemed by the latter necessary to ask him what are the duties of the Chief which he has been performing to the Board's satisfaction ever since it put him in place of Byrnes last May; also what are the du ties of patrolman, roundsman, sergeaut and the rest, what is an attempt at suicide, and a lot of others equally ridiculous and apparently utterly irrelevant. What the examination really shows is that the Police Board itself is altogether unfit for the grave practical work of supervising and controlling the members of a force who. are expected to take an intelli gent view of the facts and circumstances of each case of law breaking as it is presented to them and to act promptly on the lines of common sense.

PLATT AND MORTON. Congressman Southwick, of Albany, has taken exception in a letter to the Washington "Post" to that paper's statement that a rigid georch fails to disclose a single Republican of the House who bakes Governor Morton's candidacy for the Presidential nomination seriously, and says that the New York delegation to Congress and the Repub licans of this State are enthusiastically Inl favor of Morton's candidacy; and being reminded that Speaker Reed, who is also a candidate, has not yet announced the com mittees, Mr. Southwick retorted: "If Mr. Reed likes cowards, he need not look to New York for them." To the politicians, if nottto the public in general, Mr. Southwick's outburst will appear simply ridiculous.

He is evidently nnder the impression that Piatt really in tends to hold fast to the Morton boom to the bitter end, aud forgets all about Piatt's previous performances at National Conven tions; when the truth is that it is not Mor ton, but Piatt, for whom Piatt is endeavor ing to solidify the State delegation to the Convention of 1890. By having Morton in the field, he is saved from any necessity of making preliminary pledges to other candidates; and, under cover of Morton, he will be in a position to repeat on behalf of the winning candidate what, according to Sherman, he did for Harrison in the Convention that nominated th? latter in 1878, when he turned the dele gation over on the promise of the control of the Federal patronage in this State, and got It COFFANDTHELANCERMANCASE. The course of Recorder Goff in the Aub- Langerman case has been rather that of the hired attorney of the plaintiff than of the impartial judge, and as might have been expecUd from oil that was known of him before be was nominated fur hig present of-Ik-e, he has violated one after another the rules of procedure by which members of the judiciary generally feel themselves bound necessary to the orderly conduct of the court'g business aud the rendition of justice. After aiding the to the full extent b.s ability as a judge, and prac tically forcing the jury to find a verdict of guilty against Langemian. he discovered that his whole theory was wrung as to the barge in question aud that the defendant was entirely innocent of it; but then, in- tead of expressing his rearet that the case hid proceeded so far before the truth be anie known through the plaintiff's own confession, aa he should have done, be sought to justify his previous course by a vicious and vituperative "harangue in which he held up the defendant as a monster of ileness utU-rly nu worthy of the respect or sympathy of any decent person.

Then 'by a process of law, which Judge Andrewg of the Supreme Court could find no warrant for in the Code, lie ordered Langerinan'g imprisonment in the House of Detention as a witness ag'ilnst the plaintiff should she be indicted for perjury, and re fused to allow him his liberty except under the heavy bail of He further de clined to discharge him, or to grant him a new trial and thus left the whole proceed ing against him on the records of the court, when he woa absolutely entitled to bis freedom and to the wiping out of the record of guilty that stijl stands there. Gathering from the remarks of Judge Andrew! that Langermau would be get.
