Newark and Paterson and the cities which

are connected with New York as by an UNI

A Dfplom a. tic Interlude.

In the old times of the drama it was usual
to have light interlude-a ''song and
dance" sort of business-between the acts
Of the heavy piece of the evening, and just
in lull of the actual war news comes word
of diplomatic meeting at Salzburg between
Bismarck and Andrassy, at which the
alliance of the three emperors was danced
before the eyes of Europe. The shrewdest
commentators upon this meeting, which
at once attracted general attention, agree
that it means that the recent Rus
sian reverses have changed nothing
in the friendly attitude of Germany and
Austria to Russia that there is to be no
mediation offered; that the war is to go on
to the bitter end. Meanwhile from Stam-
boul we learn that the Porte will not con-
sent to make peace while q single Russian
remains on Turkish soil and will even be
nice about the terms for an armistice.
There is, doubtless, q real value in what
Bismarck says to Andrassy on the subject
of the war, tor he talks with the weight OF
the German Empire to the representative
Of tho still powerful but to him obedient
Austro-H Hungarian Empire. There is the
potentiality of a million and half Of armed
men in their tones. On the other hand is
it not a little premature for the Porte to say
on what terms it will or will not consent to
peace? The Russians between the lines OF
the Jantra and the Osma are not surely in
such weak condition that little diplomatic
''bluf' at Constantinople will have an effect
that the armies of Osman Pacha, Mehemet
Ali and Snleiman Pacha cannot bring about.
Perhaps the Porte had better speak while it
has the chance, for few days may give its
bombastic utterances palmer flavor Of
burlesque.

Amy Eaw.itt and tn. Grand Jury.

Amy Fawsitt and the Grand Jury.
The police authorities. who are often
needlessly active in matters Of no impor.
tance, appear to have done nothing in re-
spect to the suspicious facts which attended
the death of Amy Fawsitt, and which were
fully published in this journal some time
ago. Yet no case of the kind ever required
careful and thorough investigation moro
than this The evidence is very strong if
not conclusive, and rests upon the direct
this unfortunate actress, whose death caused
SO much pity few months ago, was the
victim of cruel treatment from o man living
in the same house with her. Unless the
declarations Of the other dodgers are
altogether false she was beaten, thrown
down the stairs and kicked only
three days before her death, and was con-
fined to her bed In the interval These de-
tailed assertions were not made to the corr
oners jury at the time, but they are known
now, and it is certainly the duty of the aus
thorities to ascertain their credibility AS
the police, with their usual Indifference to
matters Of the kind, refuse to take any steps,
We appeal to the Grand Jury to begin o
thorough investigation, and thus to set at
rest the question in the public mind as to
whether Miss Fawsitt really died from
natural causes or was the victim of brutal
murder.

The Mnssnchusetts Republicans.

The Massachusetts, republicans wisely
decided that it was inexpedient to damn
Mr.. Hayes with faint praise, and their
resolutions go forth to the country as full
and vigorous Endorsement of the Presidents
title, his intentions, his Southern policy
and his civil service order. If there was
good reason to suppose that the resolutions
express the real sentiment of all the repub-
lcans of the State, as they undoubtedly DO
of great majority of the delegates, there
would be little doubt of a party victory, III
spite of the unpopularity of the ticket.
But the denomination Of Governor hice
is not an omen of success 1t will de-
prive the canvass of all enthusiasm and
cause many republican voters to stay away
from the polls. The Convention could
have done nothing so calculated TO
strengthen the prohibition party. Gov
ernor Rice has given mortal offence 10 the
massachusetts prohibitionists, most OF
whom are republicans by party connec-
ton and nearly all by political sympathy.
None of these men, indeed, will vote with
the democrats, whose Convention favored

AMUSE MENTS.

ssBoNA" AT THE NEW PARK THEATRE, BROOKLYN.
A new play in four acts, by Mr. b. 4. Wolf entitled,
"Bona; or, the Young Spanish Beggar" was per-
formed ut Colonel Sims theatre last evening before
large house Bona is girl VINO Is met by party
OF American ladies and gentlemen who are
travelling In Spain, the sceno OF the first two
acts and is courtcd and slighted by Raymond
Ashleigh, who is the afaanced of Mabel Indignant at
the treachery Bona exposes his deceit and he Is cast
of by Mabel. Desirous OF regaining the respect Of
Mabel and believing that Bona hates and will reject
him, Raymond offers to marry the bcggar girl and
much to his dlsmay is accepted Here the revenge
OF Bona really begins. for she certain ho loves
Mabel, ana in her wrath would make his life
wretched The third finds all the party assembled
in America, at the house OF Mrs. Whers where Bona
has young LADY and discovers that she loves
Vincent ana has by her wild revenge wrecked his
future RayIonds. Mabeis and her own. Tho
act Is aovoted to the miseries OF the four
lovers, but in the fourth Bona repcnts on
the eve OF her marriage with Raymond, resumes her
bcggars aturc, rcconcilcs HIM with Mabel and Is re-
wardcd with the hand OF Vincent. Tho material is
good but new and the first two acts are picturesque
and elective. The third is moro tedious, and IN the
fourth the author vioIatcs Of the fundamental
rules OF the drama by keeping the audience waiting
after the climax has been reached. The interest OF tho
play ends Bona abandons her scheme OF revenge
but the effect Is DESTROYED by subsequent series
of incidents which everybody anticipates Bona, who
is a girl OF noble heart but very unpleasant manners

An Indian Excursion to Washing tom

delegation of Sioux Indians is now on
its way to Washington and will probably
arrive there before the close of the week.
The purport of the visit does not seem to
be exactly understood by either the gov
ernment or the Indians. General Crook
some months ago suggested that it would
be good idea to have them come, and as
some of the present party had been to
Washington before there was no difficulty
in getting up the excursion. The Sioux
Indians are by no means as barbarous and
uncivilized as they are supposed to be.
When they were last in Washington they
objected to their hotel accommodations and
broke off negotiations for the surrender of
the Black Hills for the reason that
some restrictions had been placed
on their personal liberties, and that
they had not been placed on an
equality with the most favored nations.
The fact is, the Sioux delegation of that
date fell into the hands Of some members of
an ultra Puritanical association who UNDER
took to reform their morals at the same time
that they were endeavoring to get possession
of their property and they left, leaving the
government to foot the bill of nearly fifty
thousand dollars. We presume that this
outrage upon Indian nature will not be re-
peated this time and that the visiting Sioux
will have all the liberty Of the average
Congressman and ofiice-holdcr and be
allowed to do as they.please. Some good
may come from the VISIT but it is exceed
ingly doubtful. Treating with the Sioux
without Sitting Bull seems like playing
Hamlet without the melancholy Dane.
They may give away the Black Hills or
whatever other territory we desire at the
present time; but if we shall have to fight
Sitting Bull for it atterward we do not sec
