THE public at large have not time to read
all the yoluminous statements, counter. state
ments, and aifdavits poured forth in the
star-Route cases, evidently with the hope
of obscuring and covering up the real point
at issue. They are only anxious to see some
of the guilty parties brought to justice, and
firmly believing, with the majority of the
jury in the late trial, that the accused ring
leaders are guilty, they care little about the
small brood of jury-Gxers and perjurers that
have since been developed. Cannot the next
trial be shortened, and the jury kept to-
gether during its continuance

The burning Of Abbey's Park Theatre last
Monday comes just in time to reinforce the
arguments of Mr.. Steele Mackaye in the North
American Rccia0 for November, that all the
machinery against fires in theatres should
be automatic, not dependent on human
agency, and that it should all be directed to-
ward giving the audience a chance to escape,
not toward the vain hope Of attempting to
saye the building. Upon a fire breakingout
behind the scenes Gas it generally does) the
rise in temperature should OF itself open
large trap doors in the roof, let fall a heavy
iron curtain, and set going water jets, chemi-
cal extinguishers, or whatever other means
are relied on. This machinery should be
carefully kept in order and ready to work
almost at touch. An occasional false
alarm is better than holocaust.

TnE immeasurable superiority of Salvini
to any OF the other tragedlans upon the stage
fact which, for the sake OF dramatic art we desire
to keep impressed upon our readers. OF this great
artists first appearance this in New York, last
Thursday week, the Ereniug Post said:
The enthusiasm manifested was little short of ex-
traordinaTy. He acted o theltO, and II Is doubtful
whether he ever played the part with tremendous
and 50 sustained tragic power. 1t Is certain that
he has suffered no loss OF physical energy, while his
art appears to be elaborate and eXqusItey
fnshed than ever before His acting exhibits an all
sOute mastery OF all the subtest devices of his noble
art. all the infinite notifications Of eloquent gesture
and facial expression, in combination with all the
thrilling qualities of Infinite pathOS and heroic pas
sion. 1t Is the finest Othello to he seen upon the
stage, aud there is no room for hope that Its equal
Will be seen in this generation. 1t is so grand, as
whole, that it is almost invidOus to select any parts
for special cOmmeudation The special features in
tion the address to the Senate, with All Its
wealth of pantOmlme and extraordinary variety and
melody of elocutiOn; the scene with the drunken
chSsto the wonderfully subtle manifestation of grow
Ing Jealousy, eliminating In the terrific assault upon
idgO; the mad fury of the murder scene. and the
frightful realism Of the final Setexacted retrlbuOn.
The greatest artistic height, however, Is probably
reached by the actor in the last act, at the moment
in which thepcdy of his tompter and the full extent
OF his own misery revealed by Emiliu. Any
thing more plteOus more true than the sted cry
halt sob and half screani-wrung froma strong In
the extremity of his agony could scarcely be imagined
The mingled pathOs and passion et this scene alone
would stamp salviu as the greatest actor OF the age.

Tar new cable or groove system of drawing
street cars would have an admirable application On
the steen slope Of Capitol lln where the Avenue
tramway ascends. The suHerngs of the wretclcd
horses which plod up this unreeved ascent 50 many
times day arc e1ualcd only by the impatcnce Of
the Passengers whose ride to the Capitol or Navy
Naid Is thus tedlously rrOtraccd. A stationary
engine and cable would allow the horses to be de-
tached ut the foot Of theh the ear taken smoothly
aud expedousy to the top, and fresh team attached
there. The descending cahle the other side could
be used TO bring ears down much more safely
especially in slippery weather, than by the present
reliance or the friction brake. 1t is rather surprising
that there has never been any steam elevator or In
cllned plane up to the Capitol but with the increase
Of the section OF the city beyond, the added attractive
ness about to be given to the Congressional Library
and the like, 1t Is doubtless to come and the
Avenue tramway would do well to take the lead in
the enterprise. Many persons OF those who
walk as far as the Army and Navy monument, would
be sslad to pay for some easy ami speedy method
OF getting up the hiiI especially on a warm day.

Those who know him best, and best know inc
points of his successful career will most pro-
foundly deplore this lamentable occurrence.
How far he may have been responsible Tor the
conduct of the paper on which he was en-
ployed we do not know This, at any rate,
is clear The tragedy is another fruit OF what
is called personal iournalism-that style Oh
Journalism which relies for success more upon
a faculty for abuse than upon worth In news
gathering or weight in argument.
The number of these tragedies is increasing
San Francisco was greatly excited by the De
Young-Kaloch affair; Washington by the
Soteldo case and hardly week passes without
some ARRAY or duel, more frequently at the
South, resulting from some attack upon private
character in a newspaper. The frequency OF
these disgraceful events is not an indication
that men are growing more hot-tempered or
more lawless 1t results from the fact that
abusive personal journalism has become more
common than it formerly was. In some con-
spicuous cases newspaper conducted In TINS
style has achieved marked success OF certain
sort This has led other journalists to the
belief that well-cultivated gift for vitupera-
ton will make q paper pay, even though IL
may have not much else to recommend IL.
They reason that the principal difficulty Is 10
arrest public attention, and that nothing else
arrests it so quickly or generally as scandal,
brutal personalities, or quarrels that threaten
to ripen into tragedies.
1t is true, to some extent, that public
taste is necessary to make even the worst sorI
of journalism possible. Even among ntelll-
gent and law respecting men there arc tar 700
many who read with relish personal attack"
that pass all decency and tempt to disregard
of all law. Had there been no public appetite
in 81. Louis for such degrading journalism no
naper would have made itself notorious there
bv its attacks. If there were no such appe-
tite here, more than one New YORK paper
would starve. Those who encourage sucn
papers and keep them alive after they trans
gress are directly responsible for the crimes
to which they lead. In community OF
different sort any respectable citizen would
feel quite able to treat with utter contempt
any journalistic blackguardism whatever. But
where that sort of thing is relished and made
town talk, and considered to involve mans
honor if he does not get down to the IeVel
of his aSsaiant at once, the Wholesome re-
straints of law will be disregarded, foul words
will be answered with clubs and pistols, and
semi-barbarism will prevail. Any state OF
society is less than half civilized in which it
is possible for blackguardism really to injrre
q gentleman. Mr. Slayback may have been
entirely mistaken in supposing that personal
abuse would mjure him i'll st. Louis. But the
prosperity of any rank specimen of personal
Journalism in n town is nfavOra0le evidence
as to the state of society there.

TEMPTING PROTIDENCE.

Some of the older Democrats who have so
many times during the past twenty years seen
their party on the very verge CT a great SUCCESS
only TO be disappointed at last and nave
all their hi Oh hopes dashed, are becoming super"
stitious about their luck. They are beginning
TO think that the stars in their courses tight
against them rs they did against Sisera'
Providence, that seems sometimes to smile on
them for n moment, presently turns upon 1hei'i
q frowning face their dawn clouds over In
darkness their tidal wave subsidies into
ripple that hardly reaches the shore, much
less shakes the land. twas Providence, they
said, that stopped their progress when IN
1S76-'SO they seemed to be making uiumphai
march toward power. They would not confess
that their own msdoing had anything to DO
with it.. or that the wise Republican admins
tration which brought resumption about, es-
tablished the National credit and set tho
country forward on a career OF unexampieu
prosperity was the cause. They Mostly pro-
tested that the credit for good times be-
lopged not 20 the Republican party but 10
Providence that tie prosperity OF the country
WAS due simply to the crops and not to kepuo-
lean administration.
And although they did not venture openly
TO upbraid Providence for ordering good crops
at time when Republicans would reap the
advantage of them, they let it distinctly be
understood that in their Judgment Providence
would have managed matters much more
wisely it it had postponed the good crops until
after the Democrats had come into power.
On that account, and because Providence has
seemed to have an habitual leaning toward
the Republicans, many Democrats have gone
into chronic distrust Of it. One of this sort eX-
perienccd momentary citation the other day
at reading in his newspaper the GLORIOUS
news" from Ohio and the editors prOgnOstlca-
tions therefrom of an overwhelming Dem
ocrqtic victory at the Presidential election.
The old gentleman was beginning to feel quite
encouraged at the prospect, when upon turning
over the paper he read that an eminent
astronomer had expressed the belief that the
comet now visible would fall into the sun and
cause the destruction of the world III 1883.
aYes.n grunted the old gentleman as he threw
down the paper in disgust that's just what
supposed would happen. Can't beat us this
time with the crops, and so they're going to
"mash us with Il comet"
1t isn't certain that the comet will destroy
the world, but it is reasonably certain that
Providence does not favor Democratic ascend
ancy, and il will be wise not to tempt 1t
in that way.
