There is danger that the business OF opposing
the proposed performance OF the Passion Play
In New York may be carried too far. Save the
manager, probably nobody In the United States
is actively In favor OF his sacreligious innoya-
ton. All taat was necessary in the premises
therefore was for the press and pulpit to give
voice to the general sentiment OF disapproba-
ton and let the venture be losing one and
come quickly to It's end for want Of support. as
il would undoubtedly have done. When. how
ever, 10 Is proclaimed that the performance shall
not be given, whether anybody wants to see IL
or lot, the matter assumes different aspect.
Anything that can be construed as an arbitrary
act will soon provoke opposition, and a cause
bad enough In itself VIII often find defenders for
the sake OF principle which may be involved
In suppressing it. Besides, the prominence given
10 the affair will induce many persons to go
ard see the exhibition who otherwise would
never have thought OF witnessing 1t. The play
is ole that has no business on the stage, under
any circumstances, and public sentiment IL left
TO Itself would speedily and efectually con-
denim 1t by keeping away from Its performance.
TO ring up the curtain 70 stiffness and empty
space Is the most crushing Tebuke that can be
administered to a manager, and this Is what
VIII happen TO the management in the present
instance II he Is left severely alone. In other
words, this Is a case where silence and contempt
viii be found far more effective agent than
LCisy and persistent opposition.

Another case OF attempt at murder By
burglar occurred this week.-Mrs. time In New
York. The intended victim In the instance
under notice was not an inmate OF the entered
house, but policeman who undertook to arrest
the CRIMINAL and, fortunately. although two
shots were fired at the officer neither of them
took effect All the same. however, the attempt
to Kill demonstrated the fact that the burglar
was both prepared and determined to commit
murder, If necessary, In order to either carry
out his purpose or secure his escape from arrest.
In spite Of his resistance he was taken into Gus
tody, but the probability is that he will get OFF
entirely or escape with light sentence, and soon
be turned loose again to renew his murderous
career. IL the laws OF the several states M ade
burglary capital offence, as they should m AXE
it, that crime would be far less common than It
low is, and community would have mich
better protection than 1t now has, and which .t
is justly entitled to.

te printed at one central establishment Ia each
state, under the scrutiny OF a careful sub CON-
mlttee, and distributed from there to the differ
ent county committees and through them to
the voting precincts. TIE errors so frequently
made in the printing of tickets and the party
risks and complications arising therefrom are
so numerous and great that the managers of
the campaign on both sides will not much

Wh0le summers work thrown away through

work. Many OF the troubles in Maine last year
came from this source, and the loss of a repuo-
Dcan presidential eiectOr in Indiana this year Is
another case In point In the first instance the
defect was In spelling the names of candidates,
(Which occurred frequently again this year In
regard to Mr.. Plalsted the candidate for COVER
nor,) and in the latter the name of one candt-
date for elector was omitted entirely from the
tickets voted In three or four counties.

UNSaNE r0NVTCTs

A law passed by the Legislature of 1869 re- quires the removal of insane convicts from
 the State prison at Wethersfield to the asylum for the insane at MiddIetown. This law was passed because the claims of humanity imper
 atively demanded that more suitable accom-.
 modations should be provided for insane con victs than were or could be provided in the State prison.
 This law has not been repealed. Neither has it been executed for the last few years. Under the administration of Governor Jewell, who helped get the law passed, eight convicts were sent from Wethersfeld to Middletown. Governor Ingersoll also carried out the law, but Governor Hubbard did not. Last sum
 warden of the prison that number of con victs were insane and asked to take measures for their transfer to the hospital He declined to do SO, and in his annual message recom- mended the repeal of the law and that some special provision be made for insane convicts.
 Meanwhile the insane at Wethersfeld re- main in very wretched condition. They cannot be properly treated there. The best that can be done with them is to chain them up in cells like dogs, and in such cells They are only 33 feet wide, with no ventilation, and are dark and damp. The inhabitants of these dens are nothing but insane criminals, to be sure, but their condition is disgrace to and an anomaly in State whose people are so tender hearted that they have about succeed ed in abolishing murder in the first degree.
 The claims of humanity which so impera- lively demanded the passage of the law pro- viding for the transfer of insane convicts to Middletown are felt by the present efficient directors of the State prison, and they ask that instead of repeating the law the Legis- iature shall enforce it. Judge Wayland, of this city, in an appeal to the Committee on State Prison said among other things "We, directors of the prison, in the name of hu- manity, most earnestly protest against its re- peal Any Governor who refuses to carry out the provisions of this humane law, has 8 very different idea of his duty than my idea of it. We ask that the spirit and let ter of the law shall be carried out. The State is disgraoed every day the present con- dition of things remains. The policy of the State is defined by statute law. We ask that the practice shall harmonize with the policy"
 There seems to be no occasion for any long delay in deciding what shall be done concerning the law. It is a humane and wise law. and it should not be repealed. It should have been executed during the time it has been imperative, and it should be executed now. The insane convicts cannot have proper treatment at Wethersfeld, and the proper place to treat them is at Middletown. They need not be put in with the insane who are not oonvicts, but provision should be made for them there. If there is not room it must be provided. Let the law stand and let it be faithfully carried out

 The Emperor of Austria has lately been the recipient of unique present.

Four hours and thirty-three minutes were employed in reducing the wool to cloth. In two hours and the tailor, who employed the remaining four hours in making the suit
 The cases of the two Ohio banks just de- eided by the Supreme Court of the United States are of general interest. The Mer- chants Bank of Toledo and the Commercial of Cleveland protested against the Board of Equalization, because the latter, while assess ing real estate for purposes of taxation at one-third it's value, assessed bank shares for the same purpose at their full value. The banks went into court and claimed that this was an un just discrimination. The court be- low declared in favor of the banks. The Board carried the case to the Supreme Court, and the latter has sustained the lower court.
 Canon Farrar, in letter to Mrs. Joseph Cook, takes a very hopeful view of the tenn perance reform. Says he: ''1. It seems to me that drunkenness stands almost alone among human sins in being absolutely cura- ble and preventable. The work achieved by Mahomet alone is sufficient to prove that this source of crime and misery might be simply eliminated from the list of the evils which scourge mankind. 2. It seems to me that the achievement of the deIiverance is largely in the power of the present generation of men. We can improve this generation we can res cue the next we can decrease the intemper- ance of the future"
 It is said to be the common understanding among the Democrats in Washington that the recent publication of Senator Bayard's speech in 1861 was made by Mir. Tlden or his imme- diate friends acting for him. This has turned the attention of some of MT. Bayard's friends to MT. Tilden,s record and utterances in the early part of 1861. They report that thus far their efforts have met with excellent success.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The New York Graphic is humane as well as humorous. It is deeply pained by the bar barous practice of hanging criminals by the neck, and would feed them on dynamite for 8 few days and then make them chew caps.
 This is world of changes, as Bad Shep- herd Cowley doubtless thought when he en- tered the prison where he had formerly served as chaplain and taken pleasure in or dering prisoners into the dark cells for dis turbing his preaching by coughing.
