wag his tail, and then run back 70 the gun

Whatever theories the Fathers may have held

the power to maintain its own existence, which

REMIND our readers that to-day is Ash We'd
ncsday, the beginning of Lent. The public
is too much concerned just now about the
Inauguration to care about Lent. 1t does not
consider Lent live issue 1t is dead and
gone affair, with certain sacred and tender
memories attached to it, no doubt,
which 1t may he proper for women or
goody- goody young men to recall by
church-going. But practical Americans have
something else to do, especially in this present
week. There is new President to lnaugurate,
and there arc thousands of offices to fill, each
with salary attached. Everybody who wants an
office for himself or his friends, everybody
who hopes to get finger in the political pic
during the next four years with the Tcmotest
chance of pulling out plum, will hic to
Washington to-day or Tomorrow, while the
rest of the Nation stands on tip-tOe and open
eyed to watch what is done there.
If Il sensible man wants to get an Office, or
to make money. or to push himself in the
world, he knows it is TO be done by hurting
himself into the crowd. ty clbowing, plotting

stand face to face with his naked soul,
to study its deformity or its strength,
and to find out how better chance could be

office or a better salary; it will not push his

the boys bills at college. The cart-horse does
not trouble himself about the woods,

thinks, consists of this load which

really is bigger than that.
1t is q curious fact that since the struggle
of humanity began tile petty, practical fussy
men, the cart-hOrses concerned about their
little loads and stall and oats, have jeered and
fouted the effort of men wiser than they to
withdraw from the crowd, to climb above it,
to gain in silence and solitude some truthful
idea of the real relation OF themselves and the
world to God, and to life and death. Yet
these last are the men who have not

have changed the current of the words history.

BONORIEG V1SHJNG TON.

Almost ninety-two years ago, on the corner OF
Wall and Nassau-sts., where the Treasury
Building now stands, George Washington took
the oath of office as the first President of the
United States. Before the centennial anniver-
sary of the event arrives, bronze statue Of the
first President, erected OH the identical spot,
will recall to all beholders his lofty character
and inestimable services. BY special act of
Congress, permission has been granted to erect
the statue in front of the Treasury Building. a
committc, # prominent and wcll-known citi-
zens embracing such men as Royal Phelps, ex-
Governor Morgan, Wm E. Dodge, l.. p. Nor
ton, j. Pierpont Morgan, Abram s. Hewitt
s. b. Chittenden, and others of distinction, high
character, and undOubted competence, have the
matter in charge, and its treasurer, Morris K.
Jesup, will receive subscriptions to defray the
expenses incurred.
This is q case. we are satisfied, in which the
natural reluctance of intelligent men to take
part in such an undertaking may well be put
aside. 1t is true that too many sO-called works
of art already dis6gure this and other American
cities. But this matter is in charge of gentle
men who fully appreciate what a cultivated
taste demands and are especially qualified to
carry out the plan in satisfactory and credit
able manner. 1t is virtually decided already
that the execution of the work shall be intrusted
to j. Q. A. Ward. the well-known artist, whose
reputation and success are guarantee that the
character of Washington and the great event to
he commemOratcd will be fifty embodied in his
work. 1t will be the aim of the committee and
of the artist to make this work in the highest
degree creditabe TO the country, and we believe
that funds may be intTustcd to the committee
for that purpose without hesitation as TO the
success of their endcavOrs. The character of
the gentlemen who compose tie committee
makes it unnecessary to add any assurance that
the funds will be faithfully and economically
employed. The occasion appeals strongly to
the patriotism and to the public spirit Of citizons
of New York With their aid, statue may be
raised which shall be worthy OF the city, and
worthy OF the important event TO be commence
rated.

TIE RJVFR and UARBOR GP1B

The River and IIa. Oor bill, to the credit of
the Republicans it may be said, was passed with
few Republican votes in its favor. Even the
few Republ leans who voted Tor it, no doubt,
may have been reluctant to support measure
SO undeserving, and yet may plead that they
were unwilling to prevent any appropriation
whatever for public works known by them to be
necessary. For portion of the Democratic
members, the same excuse may be given. Much
the greater part of the votes cast for tie bill,
however, had no honorable motive to excuse
them. The bill is a great robbery. Selfish and
dishonest motives, either partisan or personal,
prompted the addition of many clauses of the
bill, and many of the votes cast in its favor.
The Senate, since the Democrats gained
majority in that body, has been pressing close
after the House in melited dishOnor. Not many
years ago, when wasteful or knavish bills passed
the House, people were wont to console them
selves with the thought that a conservative,
self-respecting and upright Senate would guard
against wrong. From mere force of habit, men
INDUCED this hope when the most wastcful and
indecent appropriation bill ever passed was
pushed through the House. But the River and
HarbOr bill was altogether more wasteiu and
more indecent when it left the Senate Chamber
than when it entered. The addition of more
than 81 ,OOo,O tC the appropriations made by
the band of plundeIers in the House was dis
credtable enough, but there was brazen
shamelessness about some features of the steal
in the Senate which was not surpassed by any
thing attempted in the lower House.
The natural impulse of honest men, who
know the character of the bill, is to h9pe that
the President may veto it. Certainly, if he
should, Congress would have no right to COM
plain 1t has wilfully made the bill so bad that,
if an extra session were to be held for other
reasons, the President would PROBABLY feel that
he could not justify himself for signing it. But
many of the appropriations included are i'm
peratively necessary. Public works of great
Importance, undertakings which have now as
sumed the character of public obligations, in
some cases, must be arrested If the supply of
funds is wholly cut Off On the other hand, q
large discretion is intrusted to the Executive
Department, under existing laws, with respect
to the expenditure of money appropriated. 1t
is possible for the President to refuse to expend
public money for many of the objects named in
the bill, and public opinion would undoubtedly
sustain him in the refusal as it sustained an
other Republican President fol- taking similar
responsibility.
1t there is to be an extra session, it would be
better for the President to call upon Congress

MUSIC AND THE DIANA.
WILLIAM TELL


The performance of Rossiufs civilian
Tell" by the Strakosch Company last even
ing, at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, was a.
great Improvement on that of Mephis-
topheies," which occurred Monday night. 1t
of those performances which are all too rare
IN this country, where. if there is no star OF
espec ia briliancy. respectable average of excel
lence is reached on all Sides and where one never
hears anything astOnishingly good, one is never
shocked, on the other hand by anything Extensively
bad.
william Tell" is an opera which requires a
strong cast, for there are in it o large number OF
roles which cannot be slighted, since its
effectiveness depends greatly upon the con-
certed music which forms so large q portion
of the score, and which it is by no means easy to
give properly. These. were nearly all creditably
filled last night. and the performance was
marked by earnest. conscientious effort
on the part of everybody concerned in
the opera to give it careful and adequate
representation. Such performances are the rule in
Europe where people are content with satisfactory
rendering Of great work in all its parts, without
insisting on the presence of star" but they

with excellent taste. and If it did not

direction quite into tho shade This did not last

excellent. He sang carefully and with good TASTE
and with intelligence and spirit. Mr.. Comfy was
good as Waiter Gnd the famous trio with arnold and
Tell in the second act went well except for
some eccentrcites Mr. Byron's part in the matter
of intOnaton. For the rest. the smaller parts were
efficiently rendered. the chorus was tolerable and
the orchestra unobjectionable. 1t was not great
performance in any way, but it was smooth
and even and. considering everything remarkably
satisfactory: all the more perhaps from comparison
with other recent attempts at English opera at the
theatre. Certainly, II the work should be re-
peated, 1T will be we'll worth hearing.
