II is, perhaps, the least Of the Compliments
of the season" to congratulate the city upon
the possession of new municipal machinery
new Boards of Aldermen and Assistant Alder
men and new Mayor. Familiar by some
considerable observation with the readiness
and ease with which new boards step into the
places of old ones and adopt their ways
and vices, we are not hopeful for much i'm
provement through any mere change in tho
personality of city government One Board
of Aldermen is like another, and the attempt
to improve the quality Of the second Board by
changing the name from Assistant Aldermen
to ssCouncilmen" and then back again TO
"Assistant Aldermen" has brilliantly failed.
All the boards come from the same source, and,
therefore, cannot differ. An election that ia
certain weeks before election day comes on
that is, the regular and inevitable consequence
of nomination secured and determined in the
viler penetrala of the city slums, in the back
stairways that lead up or down to the ''pri-
maries"-such an election, as it does not in
volve any discussion of principle or any in
vestigation Of mans worth, can never give
true expression of the public intelligence. II
is mere swindle of the electors and cannot
produce governing bodies such as the people
of this city would choose, and certainly can
not produce better body one year than
another. These boards, therefore, may
be looked upon as proper to con-
tinue the same old vein in our municipal
history that is our scandal. and reproach. In
the Mayors Office we have what is rather new
material in city politics, of that level in wh ch
mayors are made. Mr.. Hall is not exactly
the sort of man from which Tammany as a
rule makes it's candidates. Neither is he like
those patent humbugs that have been from
time to time elected Mayor in freaks of spas
modic virtue that have taken the name Of
reform. He is q better sort of man than
either. He is one who may look upon the
Mayoralty rather as the beginning than the
end of his career and thus may have an in
centive to identify himself with the better
interests Of the city and the citizens. In
resolution to do this on his part there might
be some promise of advantage in his admins
trati0n surely man mlgnt nave mucn
worse incentive in the world than the ambition
to stand in the record as the first honest Mayor
of this great city-that is, the first honest one
since those memorable days when it was the
fashion to choose the Mayor from the ranks Of
citizens prominent for their virtues aud their
abilities Moved by such an incentive, and act-
ing in accordance with the suggestions of such
an ambition, Mr.. Hall, as Mayor of this city,
could accomplish one of the greatest revolu-
tions of the age.

Popular Theatrical Taste.

Certain of our theatrical managers have given
currency to some erroneous notions by the habit
Of putting their own shortcomings to the score
of public taste. They produce great deal of
dramatic trash, and when rcproved for it tell
us that nothing else will pay that the en-
deavor to present what is agreeable to metro
politan audiences compels them to run to SEN
sation and the naked drama. But glimpse
at our several theatres proves the falsity of
this charge. Popular perception is so far right
in regard to the stage that year in and year
out the best theatres are best supported. At
Wallack's theatre good plays are always given,
with most exact regard to dramatic propri-
ETY., and the care Of the management is well
rewarded by constant success. This theatre,
indeed, is almost like some refined and ele-
CANT social circle, and recalls those times.
traditional in the theatre, when the whole
world of men of wit and taste were jostled and
seen within the walls Of single temple of the
muses.. So long az the metropolis supports
as II does theatres like this-and wher the
managers gave it chance it supported three
or four of the same character-we cannot
justly reproach its taste. Manager Wallack is
soon to present ''Much Ado About Nothing"
and we shall then see more real enthusiasm
among playgoers than all the sensation mana
gers could excite in century.
His knowledge Of the taste Of the town justi-
iies Mr.. Booth in the splendid adventure of his
new theatre in Twenty-third street. None
can know better than he does that the au-
diences that responded so handsomely to
his grand productions Of Hamlet aud
'sRichelieur 1t the Winter Garden are
always within call 70 manager who de-
pends lpon legitimate means for the
effect he produces. Neither Booth nor Wal
lack can ever appeal to the New York
public in vain: but il l. certain that the
attraction of sensation runs ont. Tbe naked
drama is dead Gaslight, tinse and blue fire
no longer blaze with whole stages to them
selves; bnt where they short time since
were supreme and alone CHASTITY effort is
now making to amuse with sensations of
another sort. Popular love Of amusement has
its vagaries and weaknesses. but is never
obstinate in adhesion to anything not really
good. At one time il win be mad for
''Solon Shinglc J. At another time for
the Irish drama or French ballet again
it can hear no music but "Walking Down
Broadway or Captain Jinks Of the Horse
Marines" or the screaming Of tenth rate
artists in the now abandoned Academy of
Music. This is only the expression Of volatile
fancy. On the score Of true taste it is always
right and sticks to the managers that are the
same, and of these il only makes one demand
that is not readily met--thc demand for
American plays

An Example for the judiciary.

The newly-elected City Judge. Cunning ;.
Bedford, Jr., has given notice to landlords and
all others interested that he will not in future
entertain proceedings in his court under dis
possession warrants. Up to within recent
period these proceedings were taken in the
courts of the civil and marine justices; but by
a special act OF the State Legislature, of ques-
tionablc expediency and not demanded by any
considerations Of public interest they were
transferred to the Court of Sessions The in
crease in the emoiuments Of the City Judge
through the monopoly Of this business was
important, reaching some twenty thousand
dollars year; but Judge Bedford voluntarily
gives mp this large addition TO his salary, in
view of the fact that the return TO the old sys-
TEN will facilitate the legitimate business and
raise the character Of his own court, will save
tne time of litigants and Is nothing more than
equitable and fair toward the marine and civil
justices of the city. Judge Bedford has a
proper appreciation Of the dignity and honor
Of his position on the bench, and IL would be
well il this sentiment were more general among
the judiciary. II is the evil Of the elective
system that it too frequently elevates to the
highest courts politicians whose object is to
make all they can during their term of Office.
If our civil and criminal judges were appointed
for life, retaining those Of the present judiciary
who have proved themselves worthy of the
distinction, we might look for more dignity,
independence and unselfishness than are at
present TO be found on the New York bench.
