COMMON SENSE IN POLITICS WANTED.

COMMON SENSE IN POLITICS WANTED.
What upon earth do these people mean who
are issuing sheet-iron thunder in the shape
of political addresses and partisan appealsf
It Is not possible that they are so utterly
ignorant of what is going on around them as
to believe that it affects anybody of any
party except to excite smile at the broad
burlesque of the whole business. That show
is all over and the audience dispersed; they
must know that; and no one cares to stay
and witness the antics of the supernumeraries
ON a stage illuminated by tallow dips. And
vet these managing men of both parties keep
issuing addresses, and shouting the old war
cries and repeating the WORKOUT phrases Of
past campaigns in a solemnly serious way, as
though it all meant as much to them as it
ever did, and they honestly believed the stuff
would affect the people at whose heads they
throw it. Ia it from force of habit they do
this, or is it because there is nothing else to
be said, and they keep it up to attract atten-
ton like the "Going! going" of the auction

pouring in from all quarters for the past

ERADICATION,

The Republican Association Of the Fifth
| Assembly District held meeting the other
night and listened to a stirring address from
its President on the prospects of the coming
election. The meeting seemed to derive much
comfort from the reflection that the control of
the ballot boxes had been wrested from the
suffers and repcaters of Tammany Hall, and
made no doubt that fair poll was pretty
nearly the same thing rs a Custom house vic
tory,-which shows beautiful and childlike
confidence in the Police Commissioners and
in human nature generally. Having thus set
tied the future, the Fifth Assembly District
Republican Association proceeded to review
the past and pay handsome tribute to the
Hon. Hugh Gardner. a man whom they all
knew to be the soul of honor had been in
dicted by Grand Jury Of the County, tried
"by jury composed for the most part of
"men who had violated law, and pressed to
conviction by men whose only glory was
that they had fought against the Stars and
" Stripes" 1t was very elegant recon-
mcndation. and will doubtless do Mr.. Gardner
world of good though it would have been
more complete and satisfactory if it had in
cluded the Hon. Oliver Charick who was
and by the same jury. and pressed to convic-
ton by the same disloyal prosecutor.
We are inclined to suspect however that the
managers of the parry (wboever they may be
just now will not regard the proceedings of
this District meeting with entire approval 1t
is pretty well understood that the vindication
of Leading statesmen this year is heavier job
than the party can afford TO undertake.
What with Shepherd, Sanborn. Carpenter,
Butler, Sawyer, Moses, Pinchback, Durell
and Kellogg, Brooks and Baxter, PomerOy and
Hayemeyer. the party is not in the humor for
pointing with pride to the achievements of its
representatives in Office, and gentlemen who
get into scrapes must make up their mind TO
get out again by their own exertions. And In
the dreadfully uncertain politics of New-fork
City the prudence of abstaining from entan-
Cling alliances with leading statesmen who
have no end of indictments hanging over
them is too clear for debate.

THE MAYORS ANSVER.

Mayor Havemeyer's reply to the charges laid
before Gov. Dix has been given to the public,
and in mercy to weary and provoked COM
munity we suppress large part of it. 1t is
intolerably prolix, but that we might have
expected. 1t is peppery, but that too is only
natural. 1t is clever, for Mr.. Havemeyer is not
exactly a fool but men who have their bread
to earn and their families to care for cannot
afford to take whole day for Mayor Have
meyers defense, especially when they know in
advance pretty nearly what it must be. The
charges upon which he Is arragDed are only
two The first is refusing to investigate the
conduct of Police Commissioners Gardner and
Charlick. To this he replies that he never
could get anybody to make any definite tan
gible accusation against them. The sec
ond is official misconduct in reappOinting
those men after their conviction of INSIDE
meanOr. To this he replies that the reap
monument was legal, as he was advised by
the Law Department, and it was just and
proper because the oifense of the Commission
ers was merely technical and unintentional
That we do not believe. We are satisfied
that Mr.. Havemeyer has misused his Office
to favor his personal friends and to vex his
enemies; Dat whether luc HldllcdSdHCc II BiosS
enough to call for his removal is another
matter.
If Mr. Havemeyer were not too old and too
obstinate to learn anything, it might be hoped
that the stormy experience of the past year
would make better Mayor of him. He has
kept the city in turmoil, embarrassed the
departments, alienated his friends, dis
couraged the reformers, put new heart
into the remnants of the old Ring,
and made more enemies than any Mayor ever
made before, merely by a sort of phlegmatic
contempt of public opinion, and stubborn
determination to have his own way, not be-
cause he believed it to be the best way, but
because it was his own. Nominated by a
place hunting faction who expected to use
him for their own purposes, he cheated them
as soon as he found himself in power, which
upon the whole was rather u neat and creditable
thing for him to do But unfortunately, when
he broke with the Custom-house adven-
turers, he did not ally himself with honest
citizens. He gave us wretched government,
administered by q curious set of obscure and
doubtful persons, and seemed to have a
hearty Liking for no officer who was not q

The charming Scherzo, the beautiful melody OF the
Andantino Grazioso, and the forcible Finale WIN

always keeny rel she'd. On the same programme WIN
this Symphony We had Lszts free arrangement OF the
Schubert March in Il minor the Tristan und Isolde

one OF these was excellent VOrspel to the opera OF

existence this generation is hardly aware
Sluce last wrote OF these concerts Mr. Thomas mas
brought out several important pieces. Suite OF
Scenes Plttoresaues," by Massane consists OF four
spirited aud graceful movements the characterof which
is sufficiently described by their titles, Mlrche, Ahgens
Air de ballet and Fete B0h6me. Beethoyen's violin
Romanzi in g. opus 49, has been given with hne effect
by the full band and the "Lohengrin" selections have
been increased by the addition OF the Bridal Process

little off color. Perhaps he has enjoyed the
racket he has made. but it does not sound
pleasant.
Because Mr.. Havemeyer, however, is very
bad Mayor, it does not follow that Gen. Dix
ought to remove him. The power given to
the Governor to turn the Chief Executive of
city out of Office is to be exercised only in
urgent cases and on the strongest possible
evidence of necessity for change. Indignant
as we are at Mr.. Havemeyer's conduct in the
reappontment of the Police Commissioners, we
cannot honestly say that we see an imperative
necessity for turning him out Of the City Hall
by an exercise of power which may be turned
to a dangerous precedent. Let us bear with
him little longer. He cannot do much more
mischief

4 NEH POLAR SEARCH.

A Vienna letter to The London Standard
announces that the Russian Government IS
about sending another expedition to the Arc
tic seas. The voyage in tlis instance 10 IN
dertalen not in the mere spirit of adventure or
scientific enterprise, but for the rescue of an
Austrian party under Capt. WeypIecht and
Lieut.. Payer, which sailed in the ship
Tegetthoff Just two years ago, for that portion
of the frozen deep which lies between the
northern coasts of Siberia and the Pole 1t
was in the latter part of August 1872, that
the Tegetthoff was last seen in a violent
storm, off the islands of Nova Zembla, and
since then no word of her fate has reached
Europe, either through the whalers whose
track she gnt be expected to cross, or the Sibe-
rian tribes with whom her boat and sledge par
ties it was hoped would communicate during the
Winter of 1928. The region which she at
tempted to explore has been memorable for
three centuries by deeds of heroism and eu-
durance. Capt. Weyprecht intended to double
the icy cape at the n. end of Nova Zembla,
and seeking the open water supposed TO lie
ON the +. side of the islands, push eastward
till he reached the Pacific. That is precisely
the course which the sturdy Dutch navigator
William Barentz laid down for himself two
hundred and eighty years ago; and the story
of his suiferings, his courage, and his death
forms one of the most interesting chapters in
the history of the earlier Arctic voyages.
Barentz seeking route to Cathay by way of
the Sea of Kara was wre ,ked on Nova Zembla,
and passed frightful Winter in hut built
of the timbers of his ship. The next Summer
he and his men took to their boats in a des-
peratc effort 10 reach the European continent,
and after long voyage twelve of the crew
| arrived at a Russian settlement; but Barentz
died on the way. Only three years ago a
Norwegian whaler found the hut, built in 1895
| an the scene of the wreck, and brought away
| numerous relics of that ancient expedition.
| The Tegetthoff was built expressly for Arctic
service. supplied with every safeguard science
! conld devise. manned by an excellent crew,
| and commanded by admirable and experienced
| officers. 1t is by no means unlikely that she
NAV return before the search party fairly gets
to sea, and perhaps she may succeed, after
two seasons of trial, in reaching Behring Strait,
and so breaking the barrier which old Barentz
failed to pass. But she was prOyisioned for
only three years. and if Another Winter should
find her in the ice there will be reason for
| spriOus alarm.
