MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. :

1t is quite matter Of doubt whether Sarah Bern
Lardt ~ will to America; and t2) whether,
being here, she will mako the strong impress
sion that has attended her extraordinary career in
France and England. The fact that she does I'M
derstand the English language will be q serious
drawback to her artistic success large scale
outside of New York.

in the taste Of the New York public.

Mr.. Corbin, Of the Manhattan Beach Ho-
tel, denies, it is reported. the accuracy of
an interview with him printed in the
word Of that interview was true and dis
tinctly presented Mr.. Corbin's ideas as he
himself presented them. and in the same
offensive terms which he used. Perhaps he
has repented of the words since and would
like to escape the responsibility. One of
the rules of the HERALD office by which the
conduct of reporters in cases Of this nature
is governed is as follows =
Whenever a reporter interviews person whose
name is to be given as the person interviewed the
statements made in the interview must receive, be-
fore being published, the verbal approval written
Endorsement of the party interviewed.
Mr.. Corbin's conversation with our re-
porter came fully under this rule, for he
spoke in the full knowledge that the re-
porter was writing down his words for pub
LEGATION, and the words that he himself
wrote and passed to the reporter as o more
deliberate expression of his views are of the
same tenor as the rest. 1t would be easy to
suppose that the reporter who represents
Mr.. Corbin as accusing the HERALD reporter
of Justification was himself in error but
we note that in his interview also Mr.. Cor
bin repeats all those things which he says
he did not say to the HERALD reporter.
This is an unconscious evidence of fidelity.
Our reporter is quite ready to make an afii-
davit as to the accuracy of his report, and
we presume the Times reporter is equally
ready to sustain his own veracity il SINH
lar way.

canossn and Those Parts.

Once upon o time German Emperor did
really 60 to Canossa, and it was not
pleasant journey to him, because it involved
the acknowledgement, with very humil-
iating circumstances, that he was far from
supreme in what he regarded as his own
dominions-indeed, that he was decidedly
the lesser half of the supreme power. In
that timeworn imperial symbol, the double
headed eagle, the heads were supposed to
stand respectively for the two grand divis-
ions Of imperial authority-the spiritual
Emperor but the Emperor, who believed
that the world had moved so far away from the
time when those heads were at least of equal
value that he as one head could deny the
importance Of the other, merely discovered
that he had made mistake AS to the dIrec-
ton in which the world had been moving.
Emperors err like other people, often worse
than other people, and the advisers about
them, wise or otherwise, are not clear
sighted enough to prevent it. Within re-
cent times another Emperor has ap-
parently made another mistake as to
the relations Of the imperial power TO the
Pope. At the outset Of the collision be-
tween the authorities at Berlin and the
ecclesiastical authorities throughout the
Empire the imperial Chancellor challenged
historical comparison with the loud vaunt,
1--WE will not go to Canossa." 1t seemed q
boast that might easily be made good, for is
not Germany rated in these days as q
Protestant country, and in Protestant
country how could the Pope force from the
secular authority humliating recognition
that he must be counted within all great
changes? Yet now it is announced that the
Berlin government is about to conclude
with Rome the terms of a concordat. That
is not the surrender of the Pope, and If it
is not going to Canossa 1t moves IN that
direction.

the dangers that were lurking behind
ignorant American hypocrisy, with that
venality and corruption which always
truckles to temporary power, it had failed
to raise its trumpet voice and ceased to be
champion OF popular liberty and of civil
and religious rights" All of which is bosh.
If the Jews are going to crouch into a corner
when somebody kicks them and then jump
on n fence rail and rant like this because
somebody else does not protect them, they
may be sure that the history of popular
liberty and religious rights" will have small
account to take of them. No race of men.
not even the Jews, is put out to dry nurse
in this country. Let this Orator Puff take
notice that the laws here are the same for
all, and under those laws other men must
fight their own battles. Why don't the
Jews do the same?

A Good Prospect.

The first step necessary as preliminary
to the enforcement of the provisions Of the
new Tenement House law is thorough
survey of all existing tenement houses by
capable officers. The appointment of in
spectors is in the hands of the Health
Commissioners, and the selections (thirty-
two in number) are now announced. The
work of examination is to commence on
August 1, and as it will take some days
possibly some weeks-to discover exactly
in what particulars the existing buildings
conflict with the law, and what alterations
in construction, ventilation and other di-
rections are needed to bring them into con-
formity with it's provisions, we cannot ex-
pect to derive much benefit from the new
regulations this summer. We presume that
this delay is unavoidable; but the Health
Board has not been found very active or
energetic body at any time, and there are
evils in our tenement houses to-day,
as the reports published in the
HERALD show, which are in conflict
with our present sanitary laws and
ought not to be suffered to exist
single moment. The new law was not
needed to compel the landlords of such
buildings to empty overlooking vaults or to
repair defective, leaky and disease-breed-
ing drainage. The neglect and 18th visible
to-day in our overcrowded tenements would
never have been possible under a vigilant
and active Board of Health. 1t is to be
hoped that after the inspection the new law
will be thoroughly enforced and not be suf-
fered to lie dormant like our existing SAN
itary regulations.

The account given by the HfRALD st.
Louis correspondents last Saturday of q
French project for ship canal across the
peninsula of Florida is confirmed by the
report we have this morning from WASH
ington of a conference held there yesterday
by agents of the canal company with Gov
ernor Drew and Senator Jones, of Florida
The canal project, whose great impor-
lance we have already pointed out. is in the
hands of American and French capital
lists. who, our Washington report says,
have subscribed thirty millions, and
are anxious to so to work. They
desire, however, to guard themselves
against oppressive burdens of local tax
alton in Florida, and the Washington con-
ference yesterday had for its object to as
certain whether this could be accomplished.
The result does not seem to have been
favorable. Governor Drew hesitates to call
an extra session of the Legislature, and
points out that if it were called the State
constitution forbids it to exempt any enter
prise from it's share of taxation. Whether
this will stop or delay the operations Of
the company does not seem to be decided.
The route selected is that described by
the HERALD's st. Louis correspondent
from the mouth Of the st. Johns River, up
that river some thirty miles, and across the
peninsula until the Suwanee River is
struck then down that to it's mouth. This
differs from the route surveyed some years
ago by government officers, which cut
across the head OF the peninsula, from st.
Mary's, on the Georgia border, to st.
Marks. This, however, was intended only
for the use of barges, which were to tram
ship their cargoes at st. Mary's, Such
barge line would be better than nothing.
but ship canal would be much more use
full and important, and we believe far more
profitable.
The Importance of this work to the i'm
mense traffic of the Mississippi Valley and
to our general commerce is so great that we
hope no obstacles will arise to a speedy
beginning OF it.

A CreditabIe Arrest.

Officer Hess, of the Tenth police pre-
cinct, deserves credit for his clever arrest
of one of the prisoners who broke out of
escape about three weeks ago. The man
recaptured by Hess had been convicted of
burglary and sentenced to long term Of
Imprisonment, and his return to Jail re-
lieves society for time of dangerous
character. The fugitive came out of beer
saloon on Rivington street about two
o'clock yesterday morning, just as the
officer was passing, and the latter, fancy
ing that he recognized the face, turned
back to obtain better look, when the man
darted off ut the top of his speed. Officer
Hess followed, and, although twice fired
at, kept up the chase until the capture was
made. Tho man was identified at the sta
ton house, and was yesterday returned to
the Sheriff of Queens county.
The promptness OF the officer in this in
stance contrasts favorably with the ludi-
crous failure OF large body of Brooklyn
detectives and Passaic policemen and citi-
zens to secure the two notorious burglars
who recently escaped from Raymond Street
Jail and who were s'cornered" in Passaic
hotel. 1t would seem to have been a sim pie
and easy task to have walked up to these
two worthless, who were playing the part of
gentlemen of leisure in Passaic, at any
hour of the day and to have made the cap
ture. Instead of this common sense pro-
ceeding forty men surrounded the hotel
last Tuesday night, with the intention OF
making the arrest by surprising" the burg
lars in their rooms at four o'clock on
Wednesday morning. But the fugitives
got wind of the affair and surprised their
would-be captors at one o'clock by emerg-
ing from the hotel and making good their
second escape after coming within an ace
of taking the lie of one of their pursuers
The forty brilliant officers and volun teers
did nothing but run around in the dark,
selling and Offering to shoot one another,
and the two burglars got clear away, leav-
ing no trace behind. officer Hess would,
no doubt, have done better single handel
than these forty brilliant Brooklyn and
Passaio strategsts. He would have re-
turned, at least one OF the fugitives to the
Kings County Jail.

Secretary Sherman yesterday, in speech
at Lewiston, in Maine, began to whitewash
himself, a proceeding which SO old a
politician as he ought to know will
make him very ''monotonous" to the
public in a short time. He replied to
number of petty charges" made against
him in the democratic newspapers of Maine.
The late William H. Seward used to say
that while he thought it necessary to de-
fend his policy he held that his character
must defend him against mere political
Charges" and he was doubtless right.
General Ewing yesterday opened the
democratic campaign in Ohio with speech
to his neighbors at home. He seems to be
under the impression that the majority of
the Ohio voters are in debt, for the
greater part of his speech was de-
voted to an effort to show them that
if they would only initiate the currency
enough they could very cheaply pay off
their debts. There is something ludicrous
in the Generals simple and straightforward
plea for a policy of imitation on the
ground that it would enable debtors
w uldko dA cttoAck Sc6tlcmcut Will tAcii
creditors. His speech makes one of the
strongest possible demonstrations of the
extreme mischievouspesso of issues of paper
money by the government, because his
argument would apply at all times, and if
his policy should prevail the debtors of
the country would lobby Congress at every
session for new imitation.
After all it seems the democrats were wise
in, trying to make troops at the polls the
predominant issue, for what General Ewing
said on that topic, as well as on the
efforts of the democrats in Congress
to economic the public expendi-
lures, was strong and effective; but
the main body of his speech, which is de-
voted to finance, is not only wrong but
weak, and will be riddled by Garfield,
Schurz and other republican speakers in
Ohio. We hope they will not forget to
show the General that IN demanding the un-
limited coinage of deprecated silver dollar
he is mono-metallist, and one of very
bad kind, and that the true bi-metallists
are those who oppose his policy, which
would drive gold entirely out of the country,
and leave US only silver and greenbacks.
