likely to harm no one but their friends.
Besides the injuries caused directly
by these mad steers another and
more fruitful possibility of harm is
created by the advent of the animals this

policeman's pistol. A bullet has habit of
hitting something, no matter how carelessly

no practices at Creedmoor or elsewhere
nothing but special interposition OF Provi-
dence can prevent the balls from hitting

there is no excuse for their meanderins

The Grand Opera House is a theatre at
which some great successes, judged by the
large audiences, were once made with plays
the reverse of what is legitimate in drama.
1t then remained for some time with closed
doors, and began to air the reputation OF
an unlucky house, yet in the past two
years it has been well filled through.
out each season, and the managers have
been satisfied with their share of
the. profits. How the change came
about is explained in another column
by the managers themselves They deter
mined to have full houses, and to gain these
they largely reduced the prices Of admission
and gave only good plays by popular actors.
Their success cannot be regarded as prec.
edent for general reduction of prices, for
they themselves admit that they never in
cur any risks with play, but produce only
such dramas as have already succeeded else
where, and, besides, the seating capacity Of
their house is double that of Ger.
tain others Still it is matter for
general satisfaction that there is in
the metropolis a theatre where those
who have more taste than money, or
whom hard times have warned to be
economical, can be sure of seeing almost
any popular play, with it's original cast
and scenery, if they are willing to wait
until it has completed its run elsewhere.
Looking over the names Of the dramas which
have been reproduced at this house we miss
very few of those which have achieved suc-
cess within the past few years, and the list
of actors who have played there contains
nearly every name Of histrionic prominence.
The public will be glad to learn of tho
financial success of this experiment. and
will wish that it may continue indefinitely

The record of the day is full Of murder.
From Westminster we have the story of
negro, who, jealous Of his wife, cut her
throat, and then, considerably ordering his
three children out OF sight, pulled the
trigger of double-barreiled shotgun that
was aimed at his own head. From the
vicinity of Hampstead the report comes
that colored girl attempted TO poison an
entire family, and was prevented from
doing so by the timely discovery
OF Paris green in the teapot.
Notwithstanding her confession of the
crime 1t is alleged that the village justice
was satisfied to send the wretch to the
House oil Refuge merely because she was
under age. In addition to the foregoing there
is catalogue of suicides, bloody assaults
and personal ARRAYS that is startling in its
magnitude. 1t is useless to moralize con-
corning the cause or the cure OF these
iniquities. Bad blood will sooner or
later show itself in every condition
of life. Misfortune brings it to the surface
and poverty, as its chief handmade, Is quick
to suggest the weapon whereby pas
sion finds vent. 1t is not strange,
however, that in q great metropolis Ike

to save themselves by swimming, and as
the accident occurred in the evening it is
possible that darkness added to the danger
and limited the possibilities of rescue.

At last the long promised reproduction in
America of tho new and standard operas by
the great company of Her Majestys Theatre
is to be an accomplished fact. About the
middle of October, MS ut present announced,
Mr.. J. H. Mapleson, the distinguished Lon
don impresario, will open at the Academy
OF Music season OF Italian opera on a scale
of completeness never previously attempted
in this country. Although conducted on
precisely the. same plan as the grand opera
in London, there will be many features alto
gether new to the American public. The star
system, with its pernicious surroundings,
will give place to regime that presents cul-
tivated artists of the first rank in every role.
The old time hack chorus of our operate
stage will give place to band Of choris-
ters as competent to do their work and as
interested in doing it we'll as are the princi-
pals. How we'll this chorus sings is aptly
illustrated by the fact that on the occasion Of
Nine. Pappenheims first performance in
'Il Trovatore" with Mr.. Mapleson's troupe,
last month, familiar chorus in this hack
neyed work was applauded to the echo.
Who ever heard Of such q thing in connec-
ton with this opera in America? Nine.
Pappenheim herself, it is stated, remarked
that she had never before realized how
much there was in this opera. A troupe
that can unfold anything new in III Trova-
tore" can reasonably be expected to accom-
plish much more in fresher fields, and
when Carmen" and I'll Talismano" are
given here the public may prepare itself for
tons have seldom pictured.

The exposures made in our columns during
the past two weeks in regard to the filthy
condition of the streets have had the effect
of putting new life into the Street Cleaning
Bureau. Since we began the campaign for
cleanliness streets and avenues have been
swept that were hardly ever swept before,
and thousands Of our citizens have for the
first time in many years seen the broom
brigade, the existence of which had
The change that has been wrought is
almost marvellous. Take for instance,
the Seventh ward. The mud and filth
that had been accommodating for months,
if not years, have at last been removed,
and that centre Of old time wealth
and fashion is purer and sweeter this morn
ing than perhaps it has been at any time
since its social decline and fall. The same
is true of the First, Second, Ninth, Nine
teenth, Twentieth and Twenty-second wards.
Although there is still room for very great
improvement in all that section of the city
it is, compared with what it was before our
sanitary inspectors presented their reports
to the public, in a measure free from the
impurities that were polluting its atmos-
phere and poisoning its population. But
the greatest reform of all has been effected
in the Seventeenth ward, which is occu-
pied mainly by the tenement classes.
In no part of the city was there
exhibited more gross and scandalous
neglect of duty on the part OF the
Police Commissioners. These officials
acted apparently on the principle that
cleanliness was a blessing to which this por-
ton of our population was in no way en-
titled; that because they have the misfor-
tune to be poor they were justified in dec
mating them by plague and pestilence.
Thanks to the public opinion which stands
behind and sustains our exposures the
Street Cleaning Bureau has been awakened
from that delusion and taught the lesson
that the tenement occupant is as
much entitled to clean streets as
the owner of Fifth avenue mansion.
The improvement in many of the
streets is exceedingly marked. West street.
for example, looks better to-day than it has
in many months. So does Rivington and
Ludlow, Exchange place and New street,
but the work of cleaning has really only
begun. The city is still very far from what
it should be when the heavy expenditure
OF nearly three-quarters OF million dollars
u year is taken into consideration. The
slight improvement that has been made
shows what could be done with honest and
energetic officials Now that beginning
has been made the public will demand that
the shameful neglect OF the Street Cleaning
Bureau shall come to an end, and that
proper service is rendered for the sixty or
seventy thousand dollars month the Police
Commissioners take from the pockets of the
taxpayers.

TIE WEATuER.--1he baromctrc conditions
have changed very abruptly throughout all the
districts east of the Rocky Mountains within
the last twcnty.four hours. The of high
pressure that was over the Atlantic coast has
moved into the ocean, except over the northern
New England States, and the weather in those
districts is influenced by the depression that is
general over the lower lake region. The press
IRE throughout that depression is, however,
but relatively low. The pressure has fallen
very rapidly in the Northwest, aud there are In
dcations of the dcv elopment of q large storm
centre in that section. Between the area of low
barometer in the West and that over tho lakes
there is u wall Of relatively high pressure cx-
tending from the Gulf to the British possessions.
The highest pressure is over the off the
South Atlantic States. Rain has fallen in the
Middle Atlantic and New England States. the
lake regions, the Gulf aud South Atlantic coast
districts. II has been heaviest in the lower
lake district. In the Northwest and West clear
weather has prevailed. The winds have been
rom fresh to brisk in the lake regions and on
the Western Gulf; in the Northwest they have
seeu from fresh to strong, and on the Middle
Atlantic aud New England coasts generally
fresh. Morning fogs continue the New Eng
land coast. Temperatures have generally
fallen. except in the Western districts Stormy
weather will pro baby prevail over the lake
region during this week. The weather IN Scw

We reproduce on this page number OF
expressions Of prominent business men
showing the favor with which Mr.. Bonner
is regarded as candidate for the Mayoralty.
Mr.. Moses Taylor, who knows much of the
city's suferings under political mayors,
and who also has demonstrated unusual
ability as judge of men, pronounces MIR.
Bonner a first rate nominee and would be
glad to hear of his election. President
Wheelock, Of the Central National Bank,
pronounces himself decidedly in favor Of
Mr.. Bonner for Mayor because he is capt.
tai business man and has the confidence
and respect of the entire community. Mr..
Wright, cashier of the Park Bank, says
''none better" President Hill, of the
of great executive ability, which is, next to
honesty, the quality most needed in the
Mayor of the American metropolis.
Mr.. Hatch believes Mr.. Bonner as
Mayor would suit the whole business
community, which practically consists Of
everybody outside of politics. Many other
bankers speak in similar terms. Such mass
of confidence from men who are themselves
the trusted custodians of large business in
terests should not only persuade Mr. Bon
ner that it is his duty to accept the nomi-
nation if rendered him by Mr.. Kelly, but
it should show the Tammany leader how
unavoidable the nomination is if demo-
cratic principles are really respected by the
party. No one can doubt Mr.. Bonner's pub
lie spirit and liberality both have just
been demonstrated by his munifcent gift
of thousand dollars to the Southern suf-
ferers, and by another present of the same
nature, the amount of which he modestly
neglects to mention. A man SO liberal with
his money will doubtless be liberal also
with his time and abilities if placed in the
city's principal official chair.

The prompt and generous contributions
made by the people of New York and other
cities for the relief Of the poor stricken
victims is characteristic and commenda-
BILE exercise of humanity. Our people
never fail to respond to such calls when the
occasion is sufficient but it must not be for
gotten that this ready and impulsive flush
of truly noble charity will need to be sup
plemented by steady contributions and re-
newals if the pestilsnce should not be
checked. Let US hope that change in the
weather may bring an early abatement but
let us be prepared to render continued help
until it is safe for the survivors to return to
their homes and resume their employ
ments. We are glad that the Secretary of
War has assumed tho responsibility of dis
tributing army rations among the sufferers.
He runs no risk by charitably overstepping
the law in so great calamity, for Congress
surely will not be so heartless or churlish
as to refuse its sanction to what he has
done.

TIE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH is to be
commended for two things-the purity Of its min
istry and the good sense of its bishops. Yestcr-
day, without opening the fioodgates of immor-
atty upon the community, they deposed the
Bishop of Michigan for abandoning his diocese,
and while other matters were not named it is
evident that they had them in mind, for they
deposed DIR. McCoskry not only from the epis-
copate but from the ministry of the Church and
from all the offices thereof We commend this
action, both for ITS wisdom and its method, to
other ecclesiastical authorities who may be SIM
ilnrly situated.

The Police Regatta Yesterday.

If the management Of the police regatta
yesterday was as bad as that of the police
athletic meeting last winter at Gilmore's
Garden it must be remembered that each
was q first endeavor, and that an appren-
ticeship must be served in all callings.
There was vigorous effort among the
oarsmen to make the meeting success, and
with the aid of an efficient committee there
should be nothing to hinder the future re-
gattas of the department from being in every
way successful. But one of two things must
be done. Either the Harlem River must
be thoroughly patrolled by the police, and
a broad swath of it kept absolutely clear for
the rowers, or else the races must be held
somewhere else. There were several acct
dents yesterday, one of them in which
steam launch was actually sunk out of
sight, some thirty of her passengers barely
escaping with their lives. The river was con-
stantly almost choked with small craft of
every description, and under no sort of re-
straint, again and again threatening disas-
tiers of the most serious type. The man.
ayers may escape censure this time, because
mere tyros ut their work. But this ex-
cuse will not serve twice. Unless next time
they can keep the Harlem clear-and
trotting match on lower Broadway at
high noon seems about rs possible then
their future meetings should be held on the
Hudson. That has capital water for their
classes of races and abundant room for all,
so that many of yesterdays mishaps could
never have occurred there. Let the de-
partment bear this in mind, and also that
good management is even more essential to
good regatta than fast rowing.
