The City Tickets.

If the republicans should elect their city
as we'll as their State ticket their success
would be OF that complete and sweeping
kind for which Senator Conkling is famous.
Nor does this seem unlikely. Alter all,
what the great mass of the voters of New
York want is a sound municipal administra-
ton, and they will look for this to the
republican candidates. A large number
would probably vote the anti-Tammany
city ticket did they not sec that in this way
they run the risk of defeating their
main purpose of securing q good set
of municipal officers. We notice prep
arations making for an independent
ticket, made up of candidates selected
from the tickets already in the field. The
Municipal Reform Association is preparing
such q ticket, and it will be useful to
voters who have not time or opportunity to
study the characters Of the different candi-
dates. 1t is, by the way, curious COM
mentary on our municipal system that it
compels the people to vote for SO many
officers that they cannot, without the help
of special committee of citizens, tell what
is the character Of the men who appeal to
their suffrages.
Independent or compromise tickets,
however, do not often have much weight
with the voters in an excited canvass. 1t
is more than likely that those citizens who
desire good city government will this year
seek it independently of party lines, and
will concentrate their votes on the republi-
can city ticket as the surest way to defeat
the Tammany ticket, about whose charac-
ter-or lack of character there is no doubt
in the public mind
There will doubtless be good deal of
trading among the lower sort of politicians,
and close observers remark that the repub-
lican city candidates are not as Jealous and
active as they would be if they expected to
be elected. There are flying rumors OF
arrangements" by which republicans will
vote Tor the Tammany city ticket in return
for Tammany votes given TO Mr.. Cornell,
and it is limited that, as Tammany desires
primarily the defeat of Mr.. Robinson, this
kind of bargaining will be encouraged in
that quarter. But the republican leaders
kind they already lie under the reproach
before the country OF supporting corrupt
rings in the Southern States, and they
cannot stand publicly as the allies of Tam
many in this city.
The voters OF the city are, however, con-
siderng all this; the great mass of them
know that party considerations have no
bearing on the city government, and they
will cast their votes tor the best men and
it seems to us probable that they will elect
the republican city ticket. That ought to
be Senator Conkling's ambition at this mo-
ment. If he carries the State alone it will
be said that he owes that to Tammany's
help; If he carries the city ticket also his
victory will bo complete, and he may we'll
claim it as his own. It 10 preposterous to

If Brevet Brigadier General Mapleson's
feelings are hurt by the criticisms Of his
rivals in tho opera business, of such
men as Baron Maretzek, viscount Grau
and Marquis Strakosch, he must respect the
susceptibilities of these noblemen. They
are missionaries of art, descended from the
most ancient families of Europe, who have
left their Norman and Italian palaces to come
to America and develop the musical tastes
of barbarous people. In this work they
have expended in round numbers about
hundred millions of dollars, not to speak
of what they have paid the critics-say
about half US much again. When they see
as the result of their efforts British
officer quartored in their old headquarters
they feel pretty much as Richard O'Gor-
man, Jimmy OBritn, Mr.. Tilden and other
statesmen do when they sit on the curb
stone in front of Tammany Hall and hear
the braves cheer John Kelly and remember
their own days of glory within its walls.
These accomplished noblemen were once
themselves masters Of the Academy. Now

The Wall street Fever.

We advise the brethren who are kiting in
Wall street to be on their guard. Next
Tuesday is election day, and after that it
will be less important to the politicians
that the balloon should be any longer in
fated. 1t may even seem TO them useful
to prick the great gasbag and let out some
of the gas "Good times" help the party in
power to tide over IN election, but after
election comes settling day. and there are
just now in Wall street abundant materials
for the prettiest kind of crash.
Five hundred and ffty-three thousand
shares OF stock changed hands On Monday
in the street. Some stocks jumped upward
three or four points, though the general
rise was but slight. Even the banks are
alarmed, as they ought to be. at the i'm
mense risks they are running by their un-
sound practice of allowing their Wall street
customers to overdraw at will on the promise
of settlement at the close of business.
The fact that the associated banks continue
to take risks which they themselves admit
to be very great and contrary to
the rules of sound banking shows
UuuI tucrc lS uO ouCA oculuuu 4Oi 4iOhcy
for real and useful transactions as they
would like. They cannot loan their de-
posits proftably for legitimate business
purposes; hence they foster the speculative
spirit by pouring money into Wall street.
This consideration ought to warn prudent
men against taking part in the enormous
and wild speculation which has been going
on in the street for number of weeks.
They should see that there is, at present
prices, no real basis for such speculation; |;
that while in the beginning stocks were too
low, and purchasers Mt the low prices were
safe and sure of q profit, present prices are
inflated, artificial and sure to fall.
There is reason to believe that prudent
and long-headed men, who buy and sell in
the street only on we'll considered prin-
ciples, have mainly realized their gains,
and are now waiting for the crash, when
they expect to buy in at rates as much too
low as present prices are too high. Mean
time, no doubt, large number of people
Of mod crate means, anxious to be suddenly
rich, continue to kick upward the great

AeinIorcements for Central ASIA
Russian military movements are not te
be judged like those of other European
nations. When we read in the cable
dispatches this morning that Russia
is sending ga division of troops num-
bering forty thousand men" from the
Caucasus to Central Asia we have
first to take into account the fact that the
st. Petersburg correspondent who sent this
information to London has not very clear
idea of military matters. for either he
means division, which would be some ten
thousand men, or forty thousand men which
would be complete army corps. Any way,
what can they do when they get across the
Caspian, in mid-winter? Will they put up
at Chikislar for the winter? During the
Russo-Turkish war, it will be remembered,
the Russians surprised everybody by
crossing the Balkans in mid-winter;
and it will not be characteristic OF
the Russians to allow q large army
to remain idle on the Caspian all winter
long. The Russians love the snow as much
as we the sunshine; they die off under
oppressive heat, but the first falling snow
flakes inspire them with life and enterprise.
The English military authorities may im-
agine that this force will rest at Chikislar
till next spring; but we suspect that, in
case Russian diplomatists cannot induce
Lord Beaconsfeld TO come to some satis-
factory arrangement about Herat and
the new boundaries, they will hear
that General Kanfmann. who has
just started from ST. Petersburg for
Tashkend, will be heard Of about Christmas
time, ready, perhaps, as Professor Martens
30 romantically expresses it, TO shake hands,
across the Roof of the World with General
Roberts on the other side.

Captain williams.

AS the Police Commissioners are appar-
emily too feeble to transfer the Captain of
the Twenty-ninth precinct to some other
sphere Of duty, why should not the vigor-
GUS Captain come to their assistance-and
that of the public-and transfer himself?
If the Commissioners are afraid of him,
or were appointed by his influence, or
derive part of their income from his -four
ishing bank account, or have any unpleas-
ant secrets of which he is the custodian, it
is very cruel-worse, even, than clubbing
to keep them in the false position of su-
periors and of judges of his fitness
for his present position. If some
members of the Police Commission
are the mere underlings of Captain
Williams and dare do nothing but what he
approves, decent regard tor the response
bilities imposed upon them by law should
compel the Captain to strengthen these
much perplexed subordinates and do for
them what they themselves are evidently
incompetent to do-that is, to transfer

frowns of the most effective club swinger in
