Address changed whenever desired. THE CITY RAILROAD EXTENSION.

Itis to be assumed that the Brooklyn City Railroad Company has bought the rights of the company which was formed to build a railroad from the Thirty-ninth street Ferry along Second avenue to Fiftysecond and Fifty-third streets, and thence to New Utrecht and return, for the purpose of building the road, and not merely to hold the franchise and thus prevent any competition with its Third avenue extension to Fort Hamilton. In that view the news furnished in THE CITIZEN yesterday will be welcomed by all residents and intending residents of the region to be traversed, by property owners and real estate investors, and, in fact, by the people of the city generally. It will aid materially in the development of all that part of Brooklyn, and very soon after the completion of the road we may look to see the farin lands contiguous to the line reduced to city lots, and streets graded and paved, to be followed by rows of houses supplied with water and the other conveniences of municipal life. What the company's ultimate plans in connection with this purchase may be, it is too early to say, as the officers decline to make them known at present; but if it is reaching out after a Coney Island terminus, or even only a Bath Beach one, it is easy to see how it can accomplish that purpose by this new route and thus rise from the position of a horse-car line to be a rival of the steam surface roads that rush passengers through between the Island land the city with all the style of the Pennsylvania or the New York Central. Of course, a slower rate of speed must always be maintained within the populous limits of the city's street lines, but outside of those the road could take on the character of those already in operation, and that too, without changing its motive power within the limits, But inasmuch as the company openly entertains the idea of changing that motive powers on all of its city routes, and is confessedly seeking popular and official consents thereto, it may be presumed that its purpose is to use the same continuously on the main route and every branch thereof from terminus to terminus, and if it be its intention to acquire a through route with this new one to the seashore at any point, it would probably desire to apply the one method of locomotion to all.

And this is a point that should secure the intelligent consideration of every resident of Brooklyn and of the municipal authorities; for the public is and must be, in the interests of the city, opposed to the further introduction here of the overhead electric wire system of railroad car propulBion, and the people of the towns should take warning from the experience of Jamaica and utterly refuse any franchise that would permit the use of the same, It is claimed by the company that under the franchise covering this new route, it 18 authorized to use either cable or electricity, But that does not mean any form of electricity that it may choose for itself. It means that form of electricity, which can be shown to be acceptable to the people who grant the franchise; and the authorities have it in their power to refuse consent to the operation of the road by any other. That they will do so when the time for action arrives the public may be assured, and the railroad companies generally may as well make up their minds that the overhead system will not be admitted, to Brooklyn now or in the future. THE WATER SUPPLY. There was good ground for the communication from Commissioner Adams to the Mayor concerning the necessity for prompt action on the recommendation to lay the proposed new 48-inch main with proper branches from the Ridgewood Reservoir to the western portion of the city.

This has been shown to be absolutely necessary from the increased call on the present mains to relieve the water famine in that portion above. the first story of most of the buildings in it, and it is hard to understand how the Aldermen could fail see the importance of immediate action to authorize it. The expense is chargeable to a fund specially set apart for such purposes, and it is only necessary to issue the water bonds in the amount required, and as it will take a long time to complete the work; it should be entered upon at once, If the Mayor signs the call for a special meeting as suggested, and the report and resolution of the Committee on Water Drainage submitted July 14 is adopted, the City Works Department will be able to take advantage of the present season push the work. There ought to be no further delay in the matter. THE FLYING TEUTONIC.

Last Thursday afternoon the Teutonic, of the White Star line, and the City of New York, of the Inman line, left Queenstown together, and whatever their commanders may say to the contfary, it is pretty certain that each determined to be the first in New York. Both vessels beat their previous records, and the Teutonic, thirteen minutes ahead of the other ship, also smashed the best record held up to this time by the City of Paris. The log of the Teutonic shows that she covered 2,806 miles in five days, nineteen hours and five minutes, while the City of New York by a shorter route made 2,791 knots in five days, twenty-two hours and seven minutes. If, therefore, the Teutonic had followed the same course her superiority as a fast ship would have been more pronounced. It is the belief of the Inman captain that the Teutonic's success was not due to the fact that she is the faster ship, but because -she had a better drilled crew of stokers than his own vessel.

Such a record as this would have been thought impossible twenty years ago. The shortening of transatlantic time has been going steadily on and we therefore feel justified in the belief that before another twenty years have passed, passengers will be ferried between New York and Queenstown in five days, The fear that this ocean racing may one day lead to a great disaster 18 not well founded. Wrecks, fires and explosions are of rare occurrence now compared with the days of slower steamships. THE G. A.

R. AND PENSIONS. Was it not the famous Flannagan, of Texas, who, in the Chicago Convention that nominated Garfield, electrified the meeting and put to flight the good y-goody delegate who wanted to ignore public offices as a power in politics, by shouting: "If it ain't for the offices, what are we here There are unpoetic, practical men who, in the light of the past and the noon day glare of the present, ate coming to believe that these annual conventions of the G. A. R.

are designed to direct and advance pension legislation. Fifteen years and more ago the Grand Army was wholly a fraternal organization, and incidentally.a charitable one. Its ruling spirits took a chivalric pride in their own efforts for the preservation of the Union, and they lost no sleep planning raids on the Treasury. Of course the social features of these reunions are not lost sight of now, though one would be justified in thinking 80 from the time given to the discussion of pensions. In his address before the national encampment General Alger said The subject of pensions as all are aware, the all-absorbing one of year.

During the early days of the present Congress it became evident to the Pension Committee, whose report is before you, that the bill, so much desired, could not be enacted into law, many members of both branches of Congress declaring that they could not vote for an amonat that, taken with the regular expenditures of the Government, would exceed its revenues. I am aware that many are disappointed, but the committee has been powerless to accomplishwore than has already been done. It is now that. the expenditures in pensions, under existing laws, will exceed $150,000,000 annually. More than 800.000 applications have been made to the Commissioner of Pensions under the new disability law, and he informs me that applications are coming in at the rate of about ten' thousand per day.

Let us be just to our lawmakers, even though they hare not given us all we asked. No country on earth is or ever has been nearly as generous to its soldiery as ours. The National Association of ex-Union Prisoners of War took advantage of the great gathering of veterans at Boston to hold a meeting on their own account. The survivors of Libby, Belle Isle, Saulsbury, Florence and Andersonville, did not waste time in matters reminiscent, but as 8000 as they were called to order they began a fierce attack on Speaker Reed and Senator Hawley for obstructing their particular pension bill. President Williams, of the association, he was sure, their Pension bill was delayed because it was that in a few years there would ba no ex-prisoner left to draw it, and he might have added, but he did not, that if these pensions go on increasing there will be no money in the Treasury to draw from, unless we resume some of the war taxes essential from 1861 to 1865.

The ex- Union prisoner, were dictatorial instead of supplicatory, and they boldly announced their purpose "to relegate to political obscurity for all time, Senator Hawley who had shown himself to be a very impecunious statesman in his speeches condemning, this measure." At the banquet called "a campfire" in -Boston last st night, General Butler and Major McKinley had a lively tilt over this same pension question. Cunning demagogue that he is, General Butler strongly advocated letting down the bars and inviting all the old soldiers up to the public crib. The gist of Butler's argument was that a man could not plunder his own property nor steal from himself, and he wound up by declaring that the old soldiers owned the United States Treasury. Well, it certainly does look that way. We are told that "Major McKinley took up the gauntlet that Butler had shied into the arena." His address was able, but 88 it was conservative on the pension question, it was coldly received and fell on unsympathetio ears.

Daniel well provided for himself by still drawing a major general's pay in the regular army, is not opposed to being still further provided for in a political way, if we may judge from his deelaration that "no man who the Pension, bill had been elected office after he did it." And opposed, get "the Grand Army is in no sense a political organization The encampment at Boston was a grand success. Outside of the all-absorbing pension question, the matter of greatest importance disposed of was the election of Colonel Veazey, of Vermont, to succeed General Alger as commander-in-chief of the order. The next annual encampment will be held in General Alger's home, Detroit, just one year from the usual time for nominating Presidential candidates. THE SUPERVISORS. The proceedings of the Board of Supervisors yesterday were more entertaining for the audience in the lobby than interesting to the public.

The request for a new bell for the county jail to cost not more than $45 was acceded to. Whether this is the dinner bell or the tintinabulum, to which Macbeth, when he wore the "hangman's look," referred as he appealed to his victim: "Hear it not, Duncan, for it is the knell, that summons thee to Heaven or to the opposite direction, it should be of interest to the inmates to know that the bell will cost enough to make its summons understandable. It also appeared that the cost of straitjackets 18 about $90, an unfortunate and careless bidder who put the price at $9 by mistake, being relieved at his own request from the consequences of his bid. There Laze many people who do not know what a strait-jacket is, though they have an idea that it is something. to keep lunatics and obstreperous prisoners from doing themselves or others AD injury, being in that respect very like the ancient suit of mail which made the ordinary man as helpless as if he were in the stocks; and they are about right, but it will be news to most people that the man who gets the straitjacket in the County Jail has a waistcoat that costs more than any other suit of clothes he ever had on before.

and "Buncombe," unless the opinion of the Supervisors themselves was wrong, characterized the rest of the meeting, and the result was that action on the bids for the St. Johnland improvements was deferred till the next meeting. What the Supervisors do not know now about the work they promise to know then, and it is hoped that they may. EX PRESIDENT CELMAN. A dispatch to the London Times from Buenos Ayres says that the financial statement issued by the new government will show that the enormous sum of $500,000,000 in currency passed through Celman's hands while he was.

President of the Argentine Confederacy, and that the country derived little or no benefit from it. The country is discontented and the people writhe under this mountain of debt, which in the main represents the most colossal robbery of modern times, and they seem to be only a little less opposed to President Pellegrini than they were to his predecessor. As was before intimated in THE CITIZEN, the end has not' yet come, "the volcano of public dissatis faction is only slumbering." The ancient Province of Cordoba is in a state of incipient revolt, The Governor has called out the militia under the pretense of drilling them, and Pellegrini, seeing the danger, has sent a commission to change the Governor of Cordoba from his purpose. To the rumors of a secessionist movement in Cordoba is due fact that gold, which fell on the resignation of Celman to 125, has gone up again to 151. The Union Civica, or citizen's movement, that forced Celman to resign, also declared their want of confidence in Pelligrini.

Nor will they be satisfied until the present President is relegated to the position of his predecessor. England holds the key to the situation. Her citizens have more than a thousand million of dollars invested in the Argentine Republic, and this vast interest must influence directly the action of the British Government. If the English can maintain Pellegrini in position, they will exercise in Buenos Ayres the power that, through Lord Donoughmore's bondholders' contract, makes them to-day the of Peru. English influence is coming to the front, but it is very doubtful if it can control the people or appease the righteous wrath of those who feel that they have been cruelly deceived and plundered, not by Celman only, but by Pellegrini and the whole corrupt government.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS. As THE CITIZEN announced on July 29th, Colonel John W. Jones, of the Nineteenth Ward, has started out to secure the nomination for Congress in the Third District by circulating petitions, to be signed by his personal friends, asking him to run, and the fact evidently agitates some of our Republican contemporaries which profess to have just discovered it. The way in which Colonel Jones is. proceeding to put himself before the people at the polls is the way provided by section 5 of the new Ballot law, a8 THE CITIZEN pointed out at the time, and there is no reason whatever why Mr.

Jones or Mr. Benedict, of any other man should not avail himself of it if he have aspirations of the sort. The nomination acquired in that way will be just as good a nomination as that secured by success at the Republican primary, and in view of what occurred at the Republican primary in the Twentieth Ward last year, we may be sure that it will cost much less. All that Mr. Jones or any other man who thinks he would not have a fair chance in the primary needs to do is to obtain the signatures.

of not leas than one hundred voters of the district (if he be running for Congress), asking him to be a candidate; and the man who cannot get one hundred reputable voters of his district to say that they want him to be a candidate, ought not to be one. If he get but that many he is nominated for the office just as regularly as if nominated by the party convention, and perhaps he has just as good a chance of election. In addition to that, it is provided that a nomination made in this way shall entail none of the outlay for various shady purposes usually concealed from public scrutiny under the head of "campaign expenses;" for the certificate of nomination is to be filed just the same as that of the convention candidate, the name of the nominee' added to the list without expense to him. This should be a very comforting assurance to those ambitious and able but poor men of the Republican party in, the Third District, who have scarcely dared to enter the field heretofore because of the influence of money used and threatened to be used in the interests of wealthy men who have sought the nomination. In view of it, it is quite possible that one or two other candidates will yet seek the nomination in the way Mr.

Jones is now seeking it, with perhaps a tacit understand that the one who obtains the greatest number of signers to his petition shall have the field left to himself and perhaps the candidate who 80- cures the convention nomination. It is a new way to test a man's popularity and is likely to be tried for its novelty. Of course, it opens a fresh chance to those so inclined to put themselves in the field for, purposes of barter only, being ready to withdraw in the interests of any candidate who will pay. them to do 80; but we are talking of Republican politicians now, and have no desire to hurt the feelings of our Republican contemporaries by suggesting. that any of them would be so naughty as even to think of doing that.

NO WORLD'S FAIR IN SIGHT YET. Every day adds proof to the statement that Chicago is no fit place in which to hold a World's Fair, The people there have not the qualities or conditions demanded for the success of such an enterprise. They cannot raise the funds necessary for it; they cannot even agree on the site. They are squabbling still over the question as to which end of the prairie they shall put it on, It was thought they had been able to agree. on the lake front; then that they could avoid a disagreement by dividing up the Fair between that and Jackson Park; and now it is announced that they cannot probably have either, because, in the first place, 'the 112 acres of flooring they would have to lay in Jackson Park Would need to be laid over 8 swamp: and in the second place, the directors find that the Illinois Central Railroad Company will not pay for the making of fresh ground on the lake front in case the suit pending as to its title to the ground it holds there should be decided in its favor.

It seems likely that this sort of tion about the site will be kept up until the winter sets in and one of those "blizzards" we hear about but never witness here, descends upon them and knocks all the argument out of both sides. It is often called "Windy City;" but the verba contest there has been all summer over this proposed Fair site, leaves us in doubt as to whether it gets that name from the air storms of the Northwest that sweep over it or from the "wind" of its orators. In either case the title is probably well based. But apart from all that, it is impossible. to see how the World's Fair is to be held in that place, even if they spread it all over Chicago, at any time during the present century, because foreign exhibitors will not send exhibits to be transhipped twice on the journey, and except in the finest weather, 'foreign visitors, and for that matter, Eastern visitors, will not take that thousand-mile journey to Chicago and back in any great numbers, unless perhaps Chicago will provide them with a free pass on the roads and board and lodgings while they stay there.

Almost all the foreign visitors who would come here during a Chicago Fair would want to spend the most of their time around New York, and, regretful thought I perhaps the most of their money, too. It is just as well for Chicago to think of these things in time, and if it must have a Fair let it be 'a neighborhood one, a big agricultural, mining and mechanical exhibit, a State Fair in which other States would be inclined to take part, and give up the idea of a World's Fair, it being apparent now that in that undertaking she has "bitten off more than she can chew." A KANSAS CITY painter's wife eloped to St. Louis with a former lover. The painter found them there, and, after a reconciliation with his wife, was met on the street by the former lover, who took his wife away again with the aid of a revolver, and the guilty pair again fled. This is a case in which Chicago need not be visited to obtain a divorce.

SENATOR TELLER'S Supplemental Silver bill is likely to meet with the opposition of those who are not in favor of the free coinage of silver, and it seems unlikely that there will be any further silver legislation at this session of Congress. How they propose to manage out West We 'matters do not know here, but if silver dollars should be as generally circulated as some think they will be, poor men will need leather pockets and rich men a wheel-barrow to carry their change, with a man to wheekit. How little need there was for the Force bill to ensure the political rights of Republicans in the South is abundantly shown by the fact that ex-Governor James L. Allcorn, of Mississippi, a Republican, was elected a delegate to the Constitutional Convention now meeting in Jackson, that State, by the unanimous vote of the Democrats and Republicans of Coahomo County. THE Press, of New York, says this morning in its Washington correspondence: A sufficient number of cannot be induced to support an to sue rules to choke off the Democratic obstructionists and dis.

pose of Federal Elections bill in time to utilize the it in the battle for the next House. Have not Democratic newspapers steadily maintained that the Republican purpose in the passage of the Federal Elections, or Force bill, was "to utilize it, in the battle for the next House?" And have they not been denounced by Republican newspapers as falsifiers for saying it? But now that one Republican paper admits it, readers will see in whose throat the lie has stuck, THE New York Central is going to be generous and forgiving to such of. its men as apply for places- -provided there are any places left when the strike is over. There was once a traveler with his dog in a wild country, The kind traveler had nothing to eat for himself and dog, so he out off the dog's tail, boiled it for his own supper and then generously gave the poor dog the bone, NEWS OF THE DAY.

The scheme of the advertising agents of the Chicago theatres to swindle their employers, by stealing the tickets distributed for advertising the privileges, has been knocked on the head by arrest of Albert Beaumont, of the Chicago Opera House. John O'Donnell, a well known Democratio politician of Philadelphia, is charged with robbing the United States mails. He was clerk in the book delivery department, and it is said various that he stole 2,000 volumes mailed by publishers.

The fight between Horrohan, of the Bridge A. and Danny O'Brien, of the National A. is off. They were to fight for a $100 gold watch before the New York Athletic Club, each man allowed to bring only three persons.

This did not suit Horrohan as he wanted all of his friends to witness the bout. Mike Collins, the clever 120-pound amateur of Flatbush, is looking for a go with Jack Skelly, of the Nationals.

Ormonde, the great English race horse which was sold to a breeder in Buenos Ayres last year, has been purchased by Baron Hirsch for $70,000, and will immediately return to England.

Rocap, the clever featherweight of the Schnylkill Navy Athletic Club, will probably make a match to fight Skelly, of the Nationals. Dr. Mott, late U. S. Government Chemist, says" Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder can be relied upon for purity, wholesomeness and strength.

QUEEN VIOTORIA. What She Drinks and Why the Court Physic an Recommended It. The London World has been making an investigation of what the Queen drinks and has definitely that, upon the advice of Sir William Jenner, she drinks whisky diluted in water. This is for the purpose of retaining her vigor, renewing her strength and prolonging life. The whisky which she drinks is obtained from the distillery on her own Balmoral estate, and, of course, is perfectly pure.

Thus the World offers a valuable suggestion in. this fact: England's sovereign drinks whisky under the recommendation of the court physician and on account of its medicinal properties, and she drinks it absolutely pure, having it distilled upon her own estate. These facts prove two things: First, that all modern medical science demonstrates the superior value of whisky for sustaining the health and prolonging the life: and second, that it must be absolutely pure. The leading American physicians and chemists have indorsed these views constantly and emphasized the necessity of having whisky that is absolutely pure. The best medical and chemical talent in America has shown conclusively that no whisky known in the market is so pure as Duffy's Malt.

It is wholly free from fusil oil, it is unlike all other so-called whiskies and it is doing great things for the health of the community. So true is this, that while many temperance people denounce whiskies and liquors in general, they acknowledge the superior merit of Duffy' Malt, and use it medicinally continually, Great care should be exercised, however, to secure no other, no matter how hard a dealer may seek to sell you something else.

Twenty Miles an Hour on Bicycle Railway. The new Boynton Bicycle Railway Company will make a special trip over the bicycle road this afternoon in the novel cars, drawn by a specially constructed engine, which will be tried for the first time. The road extends from Gravesend station of the New York and Sea Beach Railway across the meadows to the Boulevard opposite Bader's Hotel. The car has only four wheels, which are in the centre of the car. The engine has only one big driving wheel.

Both the car and engine are balanced by a brace overhead, which runs parallel with the track, similar to the electric railway running on the Boulevard. Mr. Boynton has leased this road for a term of ten years to experiment. He claims to have attained a speed of ninety miles an hour, and says that he can run 120 miles an hour. Everything Goes Wrong In the bodily mechanism when the liver gets out of, order.

Constipation, dyspepsia, comtamination of the blood, imperfect assimilation are certain to ensue. But it is easy to prevent these consequences, and remove their cause, by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which stimulates the biliary organ and regulates its action. The direct result is a disappearance of the pains beneath the ribs and through the shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches, yellowness of the skin, furred look of the tongue, and sour odor of the breath, which characterize liver complaint. -Sound digestion and a regular habit of body are blessings also secured by the use of this celebrated restorative of health, which imparts a degree of vigor to the body which is its best guarantee of safety from malarial epidemics, Nerve weakness and -tension are relieved by it, and it improves both appetite and sleep.
