MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
A BrTCHERY OF SHAKESPEARE.


With regret aud some unwllingness we pause to
of Shakespeare's beautiful comedy of Twelfth
Night which has been perpetrated at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre. by Messrs. Robson and Crane 1t
is to us simply amazing that these comedians-who
are men OF ability reputation and high rank
should not have been restrained, by a sense of the
dignity of their own calling and position, from
conniying at this mOnStrous dcsecratiOn of great
poet In preparing Shalespeares plays for the mod
crn theare-wih all its appliances of scenery that
were lacking in Shakespeares tme-it is often neces
sary TO cut out portions of the text and sometimes
it may be possible and udiciOus 10 transpose scenes
speeches. the better to it the stage But in this
instance new situations, new incidents and new Ian
guage have been introduced, the shape OF the plav
has been altered, the symmetry OF the story has
been destroyed, the characters have been distorted
and much of the original text has been manged
almost out of recognition. The language added lis
prosy, thin, and trivial. more cruel and unneces-
sary or more meddlesome and offensive perver-

shall not so far dignity this wanton folly ms to
describe IFS details. The object sought was to give
greater prominence to SIR Toby Betch and Sir Andrer
AgHecheek,-so that Mr. Crane might dsport himself
comic sot, and Mr.. Robson might squeak and
glbbcr as II comic TOOL That object has been at

altogether too much of characters which are only
agreeable when seen for little while and that the
delicate tracery OF the loves OF Jjoia and Oiira is

New-York tribune., 1881-11-07

The brief beginning of new Administration was
marvellously fruitful of good for the country
The burden Of debt was wonderfully reduced;
the rights of the United States were spleA-
didly asserted; frauds in the Departments
were uncovered, and great reforms Instituted /;
and the cause of self-gOvernment was meal
culably strengthened by the rare dignity OF
rulers and people in o time OF unparalleled
trial. Then, too the Republican party met
the transfer of Executive power with lofty
caImness and loyalty, and showed
spirit of true patriotism and unswery-
ing fidelity to law which deserves nigh praise.
If the Republican party ever deserved
defeat it is not now. If it ever needed chas-
tisement surely this is not the time, when it
has been doing Its best to discharge ITS duty
and to honor the country. 1t has made excel
lent and worthy nominations. 1t goes before
the people with full consciousness that 1t de-
serves confidence and approval far more for
the services it has rendered and the trials it
has met so well than it did when it was sus-
tanned by the people one year ago. Ii has full
faith that the people are neither blind nor in
different when they are faithfully and honor
ably served, and that their decision will be
such as to encourage loyalty and fidelity III
public service for all time to come.

week last year. The decrease in exports OF
cotton since September 1, in comparison with
the same part of 1880, represents decrease
of about $12, ,OOO,OOO in the amount OF money
due to us from abroad
The volume of business, notwithstanding
the shrinkage in exports, is much larger than
ever before. Speculation in stocks has not
been of unusual magnitude, but dealings IN
grain were very large about the end of octo-
ber and 26, 100000 bushels were sold here In
six DAYS. Excluding New-YOrk, however tne
exchanges at twenty other clearinghouse IN
October were the largest ever known IN any
month. and show an increase of 80
per cent in comparison with October 1851
though the estimated average advance in prices
has been only about 7l2 per cent. But small
part of this increase in volume Of business Is
due to speculative operations at few cities;
it is mainly the result of extraordinary actly-
ity in nearly all branches Of legitimate trade
and industry.
New-York tribune., 1881-11-07

The valiant efforts which Captain Hooper
has made in command of the Corwin TO find
trace of the Jeanette, render the opinions
expressed in his report on this years cruise OF
special interest. Captain Hooper concludes %
that the Jeanette never reached Nrangeli
Land or Herald Island (2) that no accident
befeu her in the vicinity of either place ana
(3) that she did not touch the Aslatlc or
American coast above Behring Strait He in
fers from these premises that she entered the
pack northeast of Herald Island, and was carried
by it in a nOrtheasterly direction, so that she
must not be expected to return by way OF
Behring Strait, but should be looked for on
the Atlantic side of the continent. This would
correspond with the intention of Captain DE
Long, who was resolved in case he were forced
eastward to push through into the Atlantic by
way of the east coast of Greenland. Captain
Hooper deems it strongly probable that the
crew of the Jeanette were compelled TO aban-
don her and land at some place whence they
could not readily communicate with the outer
world. He urges that a vessel be sent to Melville
Island early next year, with three sedge par
ties. and dwells upon the necessity of prompt
action, as the Jeannette's crew would now be
entering on the third year of hardship in the
Arctic regions In the interest OF humanity as
well as science, Captain Hooper's recommends
ton should meet with earnest consideration.

SIMPLE FIGURES FOB TAXPAYING VOTERS.

SIMPLE rig URES FOR TAXPAYING VOTERS.
The exposure of Mayor HoweIl's application
in Brooklyn of the Tweed method of re-
ducing taxation has so evidently injured
his chances of reelection that he and his
friends are employing every available means
to counteract the damaging effect. The
false claim of economy is even
addressed to the women of the city who are
urged in advertisements and circulars to in
fuence their husbands to vote for Howell be-
cause he has reduced the taxation on their
homes. Probably he counts upon the feminine
indispOsition to analyze fig res to escape detec-
ton in his fraudulent pretence.
Let us look at the facts and figures
.'Twecd's method" consisted in limiting the
rate of taxation to two per cent of val
uati0n, while the rate Of assessment
was practically unlimited Under Tweed's
two per cent law the owner of
house worth $4,000 could not be
taxed over two per cent, but the assessed value
could be placed at any figure below the
actual value. 1t had been the custom in
this city to assess real estate at about
half the actual value, but no sooner was
the two per cent law enacted than taxable
NdIllt> were lHtitdNtN Way llbNth iitH
played precisely this game on Brooklyn tax
payers. He has certainly reduced the tax rate
from 81 20 to 81 SO per hundred of
assessed valuation; hut he has run mp
the rate of assessment. With what result7
Take an actual ease for illustration, that of
house bought for $4,000 1t was assessed pre-
yious to Mayor HowclIs administration at
-, 900, on which in 1873 the owner paid, at
81 20 per hundred SOS as his total tax. 1t
is now assessed at $1,000 and at the reduced
rate of - 80 per hundred the tax bill Is
Slls-an actual increase of SO.
The rate of assessment has been as a rule
greater than in tfis one instance; the average
is considerably over that indicated. Ii has
amounted in the last year to the aggre-
gate Of $40, l29, ,956 in Brooklyn. In
the meantime instead of paying the cur
rent expenses of his administration with
this augmented income from increased taxes,
Mayor Howell has added during his four
years service rs Mayor Sl,2lG,OOO to the
permanent debt of the city. And that debt is
in effect an iutcrest-paying mortgage upon
Brooklyn homes
The faIMcy of this claim made 10y Mayor
Howell u exposed by one such simple illustra-
ton rs The above; but we may add two other
facts. The sum to be raised by taxpayers for
the City ard County Government in Brooklyn
il this year just S2l375 more than was raised
last year The only reduction in brooklyn has
been Of The State tax 10 the amount of S2NO,321.
That reduction was made under q Republican
State Administration, with which Mayor Howell
has nothing to DO, aud he is no more entitled
to credit for it than he is to originality in en-
ploying Twccd's methods in mling Brooklyn.
The voters of Brooklyn will wisely eliminate
both the methods and the man from their sys-
