worse Than New Orleans.

Some of the streets upon which the
HERALDs inspectors report to-day are not
quite as heavily top dressed with manure
as we'll handled cornfield, and others
lack the ponds and lakes which are so
effective in q landscape, but the average
remains as dangerous as it is disgraceful.
1t is commonly supposed that New Orleans
is very dirty city, and it is certain that
yellow fever did not make prolonged visits
there when the national authorities made
themselves responsible for the condition of
the streets, but New Orleans can show no
such pestilence breeders as the streets ofNew
York. Even the carpet-bag government
never permitted such neglect as our Street
Cleaning Commission is guilty Of Two
hundred and fifty dollars per mile is about
the monthly allowance for cleaning the
streets Of New York, and this sum is largely
increased by the natural cleanliness Of
miles of streets not yet built upon, yet the
expenditure Of quarter Of this sum would
keep some of the worst neighborhoods in
comparatively respectable condition. Why
is it not expended? Is it being charged up
monthly, and then laid aside to influence
the fall elections or legislation in favor Of
the individual Commissioners Has any
one defaulted after getting part of the
money in hand? Is the commission too
busily engaged in the noble work of self
saving to care to save any one else? What
is the secret of the Mulberry street trio
The citizens pay for its keeping, and they
have right to answers to their questions.
If the Commissioners cannot clean out the
streets the public can clean out the Com
missioners, and it will certainly do SO if not
soon relieved of this vile mass of invitations
to pestilence.

The Dramatic Outlook.

BY our reports today of interviews with
the managers of the Union Square and
Fifth Avenue theatres it will be seen that
the financial situation has not frightened
the stage The Union Square company
will embrace nearly all the old favorites OF
that house, and the managers repertoire con-
tains, besides plays by the noted French
dramatists, Sardou and d Emery, two plays
by American authors, though with scenes
partly foreign. The Fifth Avenue runs to
'stars," but of that no one will complain
when the list contains the names of
Modjeska, Mary Anderson, Booth and
Jefferson. The proportion OF American
plays on the Union Square list raises ma
terially the number of native productions
somewhat disabuse the public mind OF the
impression that managers cannot see
good In anything that has not travelled
at least three thousand miles, starting from
the East. 1t will be noted that Mr. Palmer,
the manager of the Union Square, has some
very distinct opinions of the American
dramatic critic. and the press must admit
that there IS some cause tor MS STRUCTURES.
1t is possible, however that the critics
have grievances other than the personal
ones to which Mr.. Palmer alludes,
and that many theatre-goers will agree
with them. Neither good acting. well
painted scenes nor strong situations are
sufficient of themselves to make play all
that it should be, yet critics and audiences
have often been expected to believe that
such was the case. Let Mr.. Palmer and
his brother managers do their best, as they
all seem inclined to do this season, and
they will probably find that critics have
hearts as well as pens, and that the intelli-
gent public, whose own opinion seldom
differs much from that Of the average critic,
has always, even in hard times, plenty
of money for manager who strives to
please.

A Good Mayor = Party Mayor :

G0Oo mayor OF Forty mayor
The people of New York want good
man for Mayor. The independent papers
support this demand, and we have some
hopes that the public voice will make itself
heard in other ways before the discussion
closes. The Ecening Mail says

That is sensible language; and now will
not the other journals speak out also !?
This matter is not one which the party or
gans can evade with joke. The city needs
a capable, energetic and courageous busi-
ness man in the Mayors Office. Such q

whether he is a democrat or n republican ?
Even if the two parties had distinctive
principles and policies, which il is notori-
Gus they have not just now, these would not
apply TO the duties OF local executive off,
Ger like the Mayor. We are amazed and
disappointed, therefore, to find the follow

The HERALD has cropped Mr. Dana as It's candidate

Coney Isla nd.

Since the recent discovery of that remote
waste the east end of Coney Island, and the
invention and construction Of means to make
it accessible, and of hotels, pavilions and
bathing houses to make it pleasant and
even delightful, people have naturally taken
to wondering why all that was not done
before, and why, with as fine beach as can
be found anywhere in the world within
easy reach, city people were forced to endure
the discomforts Of watering place hotels in
order to get their daily dip into the sea-
Enterprise, like other forces, is moved in
one or another direction very much under
the influence of accidents, and attention
perhaps was not turned that way,
but if it was it was perhaps de-
feated and discouraged by difficulties of
ownership. Apparently the first trouble
was that nobody owned it, Nobody could
be found from whom it could with safety be
bought or leased. But the next trouble
was that everybody owned it. Large crops Of
owners are reported by every mail, and sew
eral States not yet heard from are expected
to count up heavily. We do not believe,
however, that the public need feel uneasy
lest disputes on these claims should deprive
them Of the enjoyment of this new found
place Of recreation. Nobody can aban don
property nowadays and leave to others for a
half century the little formalitios of attend
ing to taxes, &C., with any certainty of a salts
factory recovery when enterprise has given
the land new value, and the present holders
are doubtless safe from disturbance. For
what they have done they will at least have
the sympathy of the city public in any
troubles that may come, and especially of
that important portion of our public that
uses Brooklyn for dormitory. All these
have got Coney Island for a dooryard, and
the railway arrangements that enable them
to run down to the island after dinner,
spend delightful evening and get home in
time for comfortable slunbers, have made a
wonderful change in the comfort the aver
age citizen may take in life at home, even
through all the heats Of summer.
The New York herald., 1878-08-25

only one condition, to give Mr. Bonner
''warm and earnest support" That con-
dition, however, is that he shall re-
ceive the nomination Of republican
convention. We do not know whether
Mr.. Bonner is republican or
democrat, nor do we care. He is good
citizen, man of acknowledged ability and
courage; he is probably, like the greater
number of American citizens, not strict
partisan, but has voted for the best men.
Should that incapacitate him for receiving
the Commercials support? 1t seems to us
that even for party paper, as Mr.. Hastings
confesses his journal to be, he has carried
it little 'off its pins" in this matter The
party organs usually give their support to
the party candidates on the ground that
they believe them to be preferable on
public grounds to their opponents. But
we are content with the Commercials posi-
ton. Mr.. Hastings will give Mr.. Bonner
"a warm and earnest support" II he Is
nominated by republican convention.
That shows that Mr.. Hastings agrees with
the Sun, Mal and HERALD about Mr.. Bon
ner. Would it be too much to ask him to
urge Mr.. Bonner's name on the republican
convention? IT Tammany should make
laundering or unfit nomination the COM
mercial might do its party service by
little timely good advice.
