For thirty years there has been no I'm
provcment In the composition Of porous
plaster. The recent discovery Of Cap
cine and its addition to an improved po-
rois plaster has introduced 10 the con.
,umcrs and the public..a nm article Of pro-
cres,. The objection To the ordinary al
ticlc Is it, slow action. Bcnson's Capcine
Porous Plaster ovcrcomes this great OBJ
lection by eflecting in few hours what
the ordinary porous plaster acc0mplishes
In days and weeks Of continuous wear.
Dcnson's Capcine Porous Plasters are
preferred to all others on the following
grounds:

They operate with astonishing
vigOr, bring almost immediate
relief. and cure more speedily

Costly Omcial Obstinacy.

The closing Of the menagerie in Central
Park and the suspension of all the employees
in the Park Department, with the exception
of eight, is an extraordinary measure, and
what President Martin has to say for himself
in the matter is printed elsewhere He lays
the blame upon the Board of Apportion-
ment and mainly upon Mayor Wickham,
whom he accuses of bad faith. The situa-
ton is this A certain amount was appro-
priated for the department, with certain
amounts for specified works. The Park
President claims that these sums were
either in excess or below the amounts
absolutely needed, and that an under
standing was had with the Board
of Apportionment that the department
would be allowed to transfer unexpended
balances to the accounts that were short.
Hence, the department went on spending
money on its own scale, and now finds its
treasury, by the Mayors refusal, empty of
funds for the most needed work. There is a
mixture Of bad management and bad faith
in this business which demands the fullest
explanation. The Mayor is not wise man
and he may be the tool Of somebody wishing
to put the department in bad light,
but this sudden and theatrical shutting off
of the service and letting Everything 90 to
the devil" has its weak spots AS President
Martin says, the damage done by neglect
will cost an immense sum to repair. But
whose fault is it that things are brought to
this disgraceful pass? What warrant had
the department for living above its means ?
If.there has been fragrant bad management
or spiteful bad faith let us know We
want to hear from both sides.

Guarantees Demanded by Russia.
Russia's demands for the amelioration of
the condition of the Sultan's Christian sub
jects are such as it does not seem possible
an English government can refuse; but if
an English government should refuse then
it seems certain it must unite in opposition
to its policy the whole intelligent opinion of
Great Britain. Several Of the demands
made for reform in Turkish administration
are inspired directly by the facts exhibited
in the Bulgarian massacres; are aimed,
therefore, to prevent any possible repetition
of those atrocities, and are precisely the
measures whose success the English govern
ment would itself endeavor to promote if
it were inspired by English opinion.
1t is proposed by Russia to disarm the
population Of Bosnia, Bulgaria and Herze-
covina without distinction of creed. "
This is to make the Christians and Moslems
of those provinces practically and effect
lively equal At present the Moslems are
armed and the Christians unarmed. Upon
any outburst Of fanatic passion defence is
impossible combat is impossible. Inevi-
table collision becomes mere butchery.
the nominal equality of Christian and Mos
lem in those provinces, and England has
supported the demand for such equality.
But the demand has always been in the alb
stract. 1t has never aimed at the fact which
created the inequality. Turkey herself has
never stirred finger to produce the equality
she has promised. 1t remains to be seen
whether England can support Turkey in
her refusal to concede reform whose one
purpose is to procure that equality which
England has herself urged rs the right of
the Christian subjects of the Porte.
Two other points, the abolition of irregular
troops and the transfer to Asia Of the Circas-
slams settled in Europe, are drawn from the
experience of the Bulgarian butcheries.
Certainly the horrible fame earned BY the
bashi-bazouks in their recent exploits entities
the endeavor to provide against the ex-
istence of such troops in future European
wars to be regarded as a movement solely in
the interest of civilization and humanity.
The English government, opposing this
proposition, would assume grave response
bility. The demand that proceedings in the
courts Of Justice and other public establish
ments shall be in the language Of the
country, that q native Christian shall be
Governor in each province, and that these
guarantees shall be watched over by con-
sular commission, are requirements of pri-
mary necessity for the good government Of
the country. Should it appear that Russia
demands no more than this it will be con.
ceded that she moves with the creates,
moderation, while if England opposes suct

that great African continent which has been
for so many ages standing enigma, and in
whose interior the curtain has begun
to be lifted only within the last
few years. King Leopold expresses q
laudable ambition to make Belgium the
headquarters of African discovery. His
modest illusions to the smallness and neu-
tral character of his kingdom do not, to ou
mind, suggest ideas of inferiority, but ths
advantages possessed by an able ruler whose
mind is not oppressed by too heavy weight
of political responsibilities and is free to
give attention to those broader interests
which are beyond the domain of ordinary
statecraft. Small States have made an illus

Belgium should make important contribu-
tions to our geographical knowledge New
York, whose early history is SO closely con-

first to recognize the service and award

"rwo Men ana SIX v.Iises..

There is something ludicrous in the fact
that Tweed and his companion and their
luggage should all have been receipted for
by Captain Franklin as if they were SO much
merchandise--''two men and six valises'-
but the incident has serious as well as an
absurd aspect In the day of his power
Tweed was autocrat of the third city in the
world in size and Importance No monarch
ever ruled with more absolute sway or
despoiled his subjects with less fear of the
consequences. Even men as eminent as
Horatio Seymour and Samuel ]. Tilden
could not oppose this man in safety until
his power was undermined and his own acts
had furnished the weapons of his destruc-
ton. Men like Brooks and Wood and Cox
assent In this city the will of the people
was merely the echo of his own. But he fell
as corrupt men always fall, and became first
a convict, then a fugitive. His flight was to
lands where extradition treaties are un-
known; but he found that in countries where
a murderer like Sharkey could find protec-
tion there was no asylum for him. Fleeing
from Ludlow Street Jail to Cuba and from
Cuba to Spain he reached the end Of long
and toilsome journey only to retrace his
voyage as part of 1.-TWO men and six valises."
At any hour he may arrive to take up his old
quarters in the prison in Ludlow street and
await his release through the slow and
tedious processes Of the law. He is scarcely
wanted now that he is coming, but his re-
turn is none the less q warning to corrupt
public servants of the woes which await
official corruption. This man, once SO power
ful and regarded as impregnable in his place
at the head Of Tammany Hall, is not only
ruined in his name and his fortunes, but
there is no place of refuge left to him, and
he is dealt with as o man who has no longer
any rights left which even foreign Power
will respect. A few more such examples as
Tweed has been would cure the evils of
political corruption in this country and force
public men to be honest from fear Of punish
ment, if from no higher motive.

The magnificent project which Mr..
Maurice Strakosch has formulated Of erect
ing temple for opera worthy of the metrop-
oils of the New World and second in seat
ing capacity to none in the Old World de-
serves the heartiest recognition. The site he
has fixed upon is admirable. It is the heart
Of the city as it is and will be. In the
future, when the great projects for the i'm
provement of the Harlem River and the
water approaches by the Sound have borne
their fruit in creating vast commercial in
terest along the north as along the south,
the aesthetic centre will become permanently
crystallized where it at present is mere
indicated point-namely, above Twenty
third street and below Thirty fourth, or at
the utmost Forty-second street. A site
fronting on Madison avenue. between
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets,
is we'll within this territory destined to be
the charmed home of art The present
accessibility of the site chosen is proved
by the ease with which immense audiences
gather and disperse from the building now
known as Gilmores Garden. The ground
is the property of Commodore Vanderbilt,
and the intention to devote the structure
it is projected to build thereon to the SER
vice of the divine art of music suggests that
no more enduring monument could be
planned to perpetuate the public spirit and
wholesome philanthropy Of such man than
the donation of this site. In America we
ask more boldly of our great monarchs Of

To give New York glorious home for
music, where not alone the greatest works
of the best composers of oil nations would
be interpreted in a fitting manner, but
where the art itself would be nurtured in
the persons of the children of our great
Republic who might be fitted to spread the
sweets of harmony throughout the land,

project of Mr.. Strakosch would indelibly
