discussed.

Commissioner Burllck thought that was too
much: S. 500 was excessive for the duties per-
foimed. He had set down tho Town Boards as

The ordinary course of commercial crises has
been studied by political economists, and is
as well understood as the ordinary course of
fevers is by the medical profession. The
wheels of business get in motion slowly after
commercial crisis; but in the second year
the worst symptoms of deadness are relieved,
and by the third year there is tolerably
vigorous revival of enterprise and hope. Such
revival, due to no party, due to no legisla-
ton, but the simple result OF we'll under
stood business laws, will be in healthy opera
tion during the autumn Of the next Presiden-
tial election. That election will not take
place amid the complaints and suffering of an
unemployed, impoverished, dissatisfied peo-
pie, like the remarkable State elections which
have lately astonished the country. The demo-
cratic party can claim no more credit for the inn
provement than for the good harvests- if they
happen to be good--of the Presidential year.
The party is, therefore, more likely TO lose
than to gain during the ensuing two years,
unless it shall agree on some financial policy
SO obviously sound, wise and salutary as to
command the hearty approval Of the country.
The democratic party IS not agreed on any
financial policy as yet, much less on one
which will stand the ordeal of public discus
sion.

all those Objectionable laws which have
already been fastened upon the city by such
malign influences. The democrats in the
Assembly are strong enough to accomplish
this important work, and if they set about II
earnestly and in good faith the Senate will
not dare to defeat it. The responsibility,
therefore, rests wholly with them. If they
will drive out the lobby, purify the halls Of
legislation, give us honest and salutary laws
and make the session short one, devoted to
work, they will hold the power they have WOE
unshaken in the State for ten years 10 come

A New American Actress.

When o bright star sets in the West wo
sometimes see another splendor rising in tho
East We should be glad, indeed, it, as Miss
Cushman retires from the stage she has 50
long adorned, another American artist
should emulate her success, in the person of
Miss Kate Field, who is to make her first ap-
pearance at Booths Theatre on Saturday
night If intelligence alone could make an
actress there would not be the slightest ques-
ton of Miss Fields complete success, and
certainly intellect is always wanted on the
stage. In literature she has shown rare pow
ers-knowledge of the world, fine descriptive
ability delicate and far-reaching humor, ap-
probation of the characteristic, and more than
usual versatility. These qualities are as val
liable on the stage as in literature, and their
possession augurs favorably for Miss Fields
future as an actress. Miss Cushman, in her
late farewell address to the public, made the
notable remark that it was necessity that
compelled her to go upon the stage. OF this
compulsion Miss Field is ignorant. AS .
successful author she has no reason for act
ing, excepting a sincere love for the dramatic
profession. This fact illustrates the growing
importance of the dramatic art. It is no
longer, as it was when Miss Cushman FIRST
played, refuge for women Of intellect, but
temple IN which they find it an honor and
privilege to officiate.
II Miss Kate Field, who is successful in
literature, becomes celebrated in the drama il
will doubtless be in very different sphere
from that which Charlotte Cushman has so
long occupied. Judging from the literary
productions Of the new candidate for theatre
cal honors we should say that comedy would
be her choice. She has selected Peg Voting
ton as the character in which her debut will
be made, and we anticipate that this per-
formance will be o brilliant success. Miss
Field will not replace Miss Cushman, but she
may make new place for herself upon the
American stage and undoubtedly this first
effort, in beautiful but decidedly difficult
part, will have the warm support Of the intel
ligent public OF the metropolis and especially
of those who have read and admired tho
many brilliant creations Of her experienced
Den.

The CouRr OF APPEALS has decided in
favor Of the constitutionality of the law famil-
iarly known as the New Police Justice law.
The decision confirms in Office the present
police justices, appointed in May, 1879, by
Mayor Havemeyer The law thus sustained
is chapter 53S of the Laws of 1873, "An act
to secure better administration in the police
courts Of the city of New York" 1t provided
for the appointment instead of the election of
the police justices and legislated the elected
judges out Of Office ten days after its passage.

Ex-GovERNoR WALKER, Of Virginia, gives to
the public in our columns to-day his views
upon the elections. He thinks that the peo-
pile won the victory, and that the next Con-
gress must execute the policy of economy, re-
trenchment and reform. As Governor Walker
viii be an influential member Of the Forty
fourth Congress it is encouraging to find that
bis opinions are so practical and wise.

The Mercantile Library Dinner-P0li
ticians ON Neutral Ground.

ticians ON Neutral Ground.
It is pleasing fact that our public and
social life is so diversified as to bring into
frequent intercourse men Of the most opposite
ways of thinking and make them acquainted
with one anothers genial qualities. AT col
lege anniversaries, literary festivals, army
gatherings and other occasions OF the Like
kind, stubborn and aggressive party chiefs,
belonging to opposite sides, are brought to-
gether under circumstances Of constraining
courtesy which melt down their differences
and exhibit their best traits both of manners
and sentiment The Mercantile Library din
ner, reported in the HERALD yesterday, was
such an occasion, when the two most note
worthy speeches were made by distin-
guished statesmen who have fought on
opposite sides for many years. We Of
course refer to the Vice President of
the United States and the Governor elect
of New York. There was an amusing
touch of good humer and good fellowship in
MI. Wilson's allusion to Mr.. Tilden as my
/ old comrade of 1S4S." This was good hit
at the successful democrat and happy
reminder Of political duty. In 1913 both
Wilson and Tilden were supporting Martin
Van Buren, as the free soil candidate for the
Presidency, and Mr.. Tilden was advocating
the election Of John A. Dix, the free soil can
didate for Governor of this State. It was
timely and not diseourteous thing to remind
the most rising statesman in the democratic
party of his original anti-slavery sentiments,
thus suggesting reason why republicans
might expect liberal views from him on this
subject, and why the Bourbon democrats can
reactionary policy on question that has been
settled in accordance with Mr.. Tilden's own
early convictions. Besides the neutral
ground of semi-literary dinner Mr. Will
son dexterously pointed out further neu-
trail ground between the republican party
which the latter made to the early growth Of
anti-slavery politics in this country. We are
sorry that MIR. Tlden did not in his speech,
make some jocose but significant response to
this good-humored hint. He expressed, how
ever, his pride in the State of New York,
and the best justification Of such pride, we
hope Mr.. Hlden agrees with us in thinking,
is not the commerce and wealth of the State,
important as they are, but its great men. But
how many of the statesmen of whom New
York is justly proud have borne their testimony
against slavery How many promoted the
sentiments which finally caused its overthrow!
Mr.. Tlden himself, as q devoted disciple Of
Mr.. Van Buren, deserves to be enrolled on
the list, or, at least Vice President Wilson
will interpose no objection to his being
placed there, if he will accept the ripe fruit
of the tree which in younger years he assisted
to plant

Mr. WIcKHAM, our next Mayor, was very
properly called upon, at the Mercantile Lii
brary dinner, to respond to the toast Of 1.-The
City OF New York" In the first place, he will
soon assume the responsibility of the Chief
Magistracy Of the city, and, in the second, be
has been for years intimately connected with
the management Of the library. The speech
he made was worthy of the OCCASION and in
dicated that in his administration our public
literary institutions will receive the considera-
ton and Thoughtful aid which they deserve.

did library OF ours" said Mr.. Wickham,
