There is no lack Of splendid candidates
for the Mayoralty, and each is more anus
ing by appearing AZ figure in tablesu.
In tableau we may have set of figures,
in proper costume, grouped around the
Maid Of Orleans. or around Mary Queen
of Scots, or the famous Eloisa,
whose name is forever linked with that OF
Abelard, or the Egyptian Cleopatra, or the
Athenian Aspasia- But the interest felt in
such tableaux, when offered as social
entertainment, depends less on the
characters taken from history or nc
ton which are represented, than on
our recognition of Miss Gertrude or
Miss Kate or Miss Adeliza who produces
the figures. We think less OF tho Marie
Antoinette or Martha Washington exhibited
before our eyes in the costume Of her age
than of the modern young lady Of
our acquaintance who personates the
character. There is something SIM
liar in the tableaux of candidates for the
Mayoralty. Our minds go behind the fig
ures to the persons acting and speaking
through them. Just as in tableau we may
draw up programmes:
Madame Holland. ......'..'.'.... ..'...Miss Agnes
Her faithful maid. Miss Anne
Executioner ~ the guillot,no. Master Jones
SO, in like manner, we can easily make
programme of candidates for the Mayoralty
with the names Of the performers set out in
q parallel column. As for example,
Mayoraity Figures Real Players
william r. Grace. .......... ..Cardna al McCioskey
Augustus SchelL .......... Comptroller Kelly.
Mr. baOcock....... ......... Cnnmper Of commerce.
Mr. Bonner. .-................The mass OF ctizcna
MT Agnew. ...................M nnhattsn Club
Hugh hastings. Men inside politics.
But in the preparations for this beautiful
series of tableaux Mr.. Kelly seems TO enjoy
an advantage not possessed by his COM
petitors. He reserves the privilege Of
playing either OF two parts. Mr..
Kellys candidate is either Mr.. Schell
or the clark horse" Why should not all
his competitors have q similar option
Why is not Cardinal McCloskey entitled
to his own dark horse il Mr.. Grace
should get famed before the race be-
gins2 Why should the supporters of Mr..
Babcock and Mr.. Agnew and Mr.. Ely and
Mr.. Bonner be deprived of the privilege
of special dark horse if their first candi-
date fails to win? We favor the largest
liberty in the selection of parts by the
players in this great series of Mayoralty
tableaux.

The "Com m srciar' on the Mayoralty
Question.

The SOON IN srciar' on the Mayornlty
Question.
It causes US sincere regret and no small
modification that our endeavors to please
our bright contemporary the Commercial
Advertiser meet with SO little success. It's
shrewd and knowing editor is one of the
noted politicians whom it would most
soothe our sense Of courtesy and most
crafty our amiable desire to stand we'll
with eminent members of our own pro-
fession to please and satisfy. But he
seems to act toward us like sweet and
scornful coquette who is so secure of the
admiration she excites that she may ven-
ture on any amount Of arch and pretty pet
ulance without risk of estranging her
suitors. We are truly sorry that we have SO
little success with our contemporary. Do
what we will we cannot please him, but we
shall not easily be brought to despair. :.
The latest complaint of the capricious
Commercial is that We have interviewed lead
ing bankers and business men respecting
Mr. Bonner's qualifications for Mayor Our
admired contemporary insists that the sem
timents of these gentlemen are Of no nc
count in politics, and that if we desire to
find out anything worth knowing we should
send reporters to take the views Of "the ten
thousand red-eyed and short-haired senti-
nels of democracy found on ninety -fve
out Of every hundred corners of the city,
bearing aloft the we'll known democratic
banner, Pure spirits and genuine Dublin
whiskey sold here" We shall not neglect
this piquant advice, and our contemporary
may look for an early series Of interviews
with the class of citizens whose opinions he
thinks so valuable.
But even when we shall have taken all
this pains we have no great confidence that
our genial, witty and dashing contemporary
will do us justice. We suspect that no can
didate for Mayor heretofore named can suit
him, and that every one will be distasteful
in proportion to the amount of popular in
dorsement, just as an admired belle thinks
every other beautiful woman horrid fright
in proportion to her success in catching
beaux. The true explanation of our bright
friends perversity is, we surmise, that he
has secret longing to be Mayor himself
Now, we would drop all other candidates
and take him up with alacrity If we could
see any chance of his election. What q
splendid and efficient Mayor the editor Of
the Commercial would make But, unfor-
tunately, he is u bitter republican, and we
do not see what chance there is for candi-
date who fouts 1.-THE red-eyed, short-haired
sentinols of democracy" Unless our brill
of faith as did Henry Nv. Of France we do
not see how he can be Mayor of New York
this year.

others fortunately discovered an avenue Of
escape far away from the main shaft and
thus succeeded in returning to the scores
OF agonized families who were tearfully
awaiting the saddest of all news that can
be told in life The ingenuity OF the en-
gineer is always depended upon to pro-
vide means for the prevention OF acct
dents, but in the present instance
it would seem that human ken could not
have anticipated the disaster 1t is to be
remarked, however, that the miners owe the
preservation of their lives entirely to their
own exertions. rather than to the extra
facilities for escape which the owners Of all
mines should be forced to supply. It is too
often true of late years that the opening of
mine is only the entrance to grave.

An Injustice.

We publish in another column an open
letter addressed to the members of the New
York Stock Exchange by Mr.. Arthur L.
Sewell Mr.. Sewell. it will be remembered,
was q partner Of John Bonner at the time Of
the latter's very crooked proceedings in the
matter Of rehypothecating the securities Of
other people, and in the whirlwind Of in
dignation which followed Mr.. Sewell was
swept away from his position of Board
mem bership, from his interest in the Life
Insurance Society, and from all chance Of
supporting himself and family in the bust
ness which was most familiar to him.
Harder than all, and what Mr.. Sewell ap-
pears to feel most sensitively, is the fact that
the action of the Governing Committee,
technically at least, has placed upon him
the brand of fraud. That a gentleman Of
refined and delicate instincts, one whom
the breath of suspicion had never tainted
and whose good name was beyond
reproach, should feel acutely az
grieved by the position in which
he has been placed-knowing. as he does.
his innocence Of all intentional wrong
doing-is both natural and praiseworthy,
and we trust that the Stock Exchange will
SO far yield to his petition as to reopen the
subject for further consideration.
There is much reason to believe that with
the wearing away of the indignation which
existed at the time Board members have
been led to greatly modify their views as to
Mr.. Sewell's culpability in the Bonner
swindle. At the time it was considered ne
cessary to make an example, and it would
seem now that the action Of the committee
was possibly not tempered with the mercy
which the case permitted to be shown.
We speak by the book in asserting that
the great majority Of Board members en-
tirely acquit Mr.. Sewell of any guilty in
tent We trust, therefore, that the Govern
ing Committee will grant the hearing asked
for, which will at the same time confer an
act of justice and relieve them from the
stigma of what some ill-minded and ILL
hammered people might call persecution.

Kelly himself will consent to be candidate

Kelly himself will consent to be candidate
he shall have our hearty support. Since he
has been Comptroller we have always been
careful to distinguish between the officer and
the politician, awarding uniform praise to
the officer while criticising the politician. In
any position where Mr.. Kelly is responsible
he is faithful. We object to his exercising
the office of Mayor without the responsibility.
But il, dropping Mr.. Schell and possible
dark horse Mr.. Kelly will consent to have
his friends nominate him for Mayor, we
will give him support which we should
certainly refuse to any of his tools
or puppets or parasites. His knowl-
edge of the city government is I'M
surpassed, and the eminent ability and
fidelity he has displayed in the office OF
Comptroller would have more useful
field at the head of the city government.
We trust that this suggestion will convince
Mr.. Kelly that the only purpose of the
HERALD is to promote the municipal well
fare. and that we shall only be too glad to
have him exert any influence of which he is
willing to bear the open responsibility.

THE EVENING TIME.


Together we walked In the evening time,
Above us the sky spread golden and clear.
And he bent his head and looked In nay eyes,
As IL he held me of all most dear,
On! IL was sweet In the evening time.
And our pathway went through fields Of
wheat;
Marrow that path, and rough the way,
But he was near, and the birds sang true,
And the stars came out in the twilight gray,
Oh! IL was sweet IN the evening time.
Softly he spoke Of the days gone past,
Softly of blessed days to be;
Close to his arm and closer pressed
The corn field path was Eden to me.
Oh! IL was sweet in the evening time!
Grayer the light grew, and grayer still,
The rocks fitted home through the purple
shade,
The nightingales sang where the thorns stood
high,
glade.
Oh, it was sweet in the evening time.
And the latest CLEANS of daylight died;
My hand in his enrolled lay;
We swept the dew from the wheat aS we
passed,
For narrower, narrower wound the way,
Oh, &c was sweet in the evening time.
He looked in the depth of my eyes and said,
sorrow and gladness Will come Tor us,
sweet,
But together Wen walk through the fields Of
life
Close as we walked through the fields Of
Good Words.

Turkish Baths for Horses.
New York Worldl


A narrow alleyway in West Fortv-fOurth
street opens into a court yard surrounded by
horses stalls. A World reporter ventured
in. A sleepy Newfoundland dog, lying in
front of bis kennel, blinked his eyes, a Scotch
terrier barked wildly, man who was clean
ing harness looked up from his work and
young woman who had been leaning over
the railing of a kind OF gallery running
around the yard turned away. 1t was all
very much like the inn yard where Samivel
Weller was discovered by Mr.. Pickwick, but
the air OF romance was replaced by tinge Of
science. There was a great glass case con-
tanning the skeleton of a mule that had
fought on the side of the south during the
war; there was a small, handsomely furnish.
ed pharmacy filled with materials for boluses
and other horse medicine and there was
low oven looking arrangement of stone,
against which the reporter incautiously
leaned. not knowing that ii was very hot.

The reporter answered that he couldn't

Briton, made his appearance.
