for the first time. Miss Emma HowsOn
made an acceptable Patience, and w. II.
Seymour as BuRthOJTe was recalled sew

itan appearance at the Casino some time ago
The per'0r uance as given at the Casino was re-
viewed III the columns of The TRIBUNE. The only
change In the company is the acquisition of Miss

A Postal Savings Bank bill has been agreed
TO by the House Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads, and is thus insured full
consideration in the House. 1t appears to be
iudicious and well guarded in its provisions.
Deposits are to be received in sums ranging
from 10 cents to 500, no person being al
lowed to have on deposit more than 5000 at
one time. Interest is limited to two per cent.
There is no doubt that the measure, if it be-
comes a law, will prove beneficial and popu-
lar, especially in country districts where there
are no savings institutions. The convenience
of placing small sums of money i'll the safe
keeping of so trustworthy a custodian and
good paymaster as the United States Gov
ernment will create habits of saving in many
thousands of people who ordinarily live from
hand to mouth. With the improvement in the
Civil Service which has come from the long
period of Republican administration, there is
not much danger of the Governments losing by
the defalcation of pOstmasters. OF course the
depostors would he absolutely secure against
loss, for if postmaster should embezzle the
funds deposited at his office the Government
would have to make good the amount

George w. Curtis lectured in Albany last
evening on Civil Service Reform. 1he Argus
of that city, the recognized organ OF the
Democratic party in this State, made the
delivery of the lecture the occasion for
informing its readers that it entirely
disapproves of the reform methods ad-
vocated by Mr.. Curtis and those who act with
him. The Argus fails to add just what partic-
ular brand of Civil Service Reform it is partial
to. But the omission is unimportant. If you
would see Sir Christopher Wren's monument
look at ST. Paul's. If you would know the
style of Civil Service Reform that The Argus

Mr.. Tlden will please fix his eyes upon DandolO
There is that in DandOlOs career which is perhaps
calculated to reinvIeorate the ambition OF the ven
erable professor of the science of applied ciphering
Some of the Professors near and dear Democratic
friends give out that he will not accept a renOm-
iuation for the Presidency in 1884 owing TO hs al
yanced age. But Dandolo, as The Bafai0 Courier
kindly reminds the Professor, took command of the
great expedition from Venice TO tn Leyant In 1901
when he was nlnety-thrce years Oil, while at ninety
six lie achieved the conquest OF Constantinope. If
Dandolo was equal to these things in bis niucties
why should Samuel j., who isn't yet in his eighties
plead age a. a rea son for declining again to
take his bar'l o the fore ? We beg leave to remind
The Courier that the example OF Dando!O would be
more stimulating for the purpose in hand were it
not for one thine-an important thing. When it
comes to moral dccrepitude-a weakness
which is a much more serious handicap
than the infrmities OF the body conse-
qucnt upon age-thc Professor is to be reck-
oncd 50 inlrm to be quite out OF any great race
in which moral vigor is demanded. So IN spite oi
Dandolo we dnn'l believe MIR. Tlden will be To-
nominated. unless the National Democratic Con-
vcntion of 1854 resolves 10 waive character and
give their chief honor to the state.man who put
up the most copiously.

Two ruffians engaged in a prize fight yes
terday on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is a gratifying evidence of the efficiency with
which the laws against such exhibitions of
brutality are executed that, although one OF
these ruffians lives in Troy and the other i'll
Boston, they were obliged to go all the way to
the State of Mississippi to find place where
they could fight with fair chance of escap-
ing arrest. The affair will doubtless cause the
Legislature of that State to supply the
deficiency in its statutes by passing stringent
law against such encounters. The fight lasted
about half an hour and demonstrated that
Sullivan, the Boston ruflian, could strike
harder and endure more pounding than Ryan,
the Troy ruflian, and is therefore the greater
brute of the two. No peculiar human quality
is displayed in prize-iighting. a man must have
physical courage and endurance to be a
pugist but any bulldog possesses these
attributes to a higher degree than the best
fst-fghter that ever lived.

manner in which the recent recommcndailons0iF OF FIRE
Department officials have been disrcgarded How
many managers have made the changes decided to
be- necessary for safety While their audiences

the proprietor Of that old rattleuap, the Windsor
heatre III the courts, trying 10 stlve Oh long AZ

condemned. IT is not very hard to see that a theatre
which the puDlic justly believes TO bo insecure
either from weak walls or from lack of precautions
against ire is not likely TO mako much money.

their own interests

The nuisance of sidewalks completely OBJ

Public Opinion.

No man can spend a single thousand
dollars to become governor of New
Hampshire and at the end of his can
vass look over his vouchers and say it
was all done honestly. In the average
congressional district of the United
States a candidate cannot invest $500
and ut the same time put it all to hon
est uses. To speak plainly the money
expended in politics is the most fla
grant and audaciOus of bribery. 1t is
intended for the purchase of votes.-
Manchester On. H. Union.
Arab and his lieutenants have done
what they could, but they had no man
hood to command, and the feeble chill
dren of the Nile proved a mere mob
before the disciplined sOldiery of the
British empire. Arab has failed, but
his failure is not entire. A national
feeling has been engendered, and in
the settlement of the future of Egypt
that element must be taken into ac-
count. 1t will be the better for Egypt
that Arab made his daring stand.
What the settlement will be is mere
matter of conjecture, but it is pretty
sure to be substantially the work of
England. The European concert no
longer exists. The strongest influence
in Europe, Bismarck's, has been used
in favor of England, which has now
powerfully re-asserted her leadership,
far in advance of the opposition OF
Beaconsfield Mt Berlin-when in truth
she rather served the interests of other
states than her own, and whose results
she has seen melting away ever since

p. T. Barnum used to say that peO-
pie like to he humbugged. The great
Snowman knew what he was talking
about, himself the prince of humbugs.
But the credulity of people is really
wonderful. We daresay that the ma
iority of those who attended the I'm
cle-TOm's-C Cabin performance really
believed that the immense CANNES
which leisurely trOtted across and
yawned on the stage were veritable
blood hounds and had doubtless fol-
lowed the scent of fugitives across
bayOus and marshes, when in fact they
reSembled blood hounds as much as a
blood hound resembles a poodle. and
were probably not only never on a
plantation but never south of Mason
and Dixon's line. They were fine-lOOk-
ing mastiffs, and looked as though they
might be ugly watch dogs, but their
noses were not made for seeming ne
groes and were too large to pass for
blood hounds. The writer has posi-
tive knowledge that one year ago this
winter the advance agent of an Uncle
Toms Cabin company tried TO pur-
chase a huge mastiff owned in Web
ster. Mass, which he saw while there,
to put into the show as a Siberian
blood hound.n The race of foolish
people Is not yet extinct.

In comparison with the several flOcks
of sheep which have been noticed in
the CdledOnidn during the summer, we
think that of w. c. Gleason of Barnet
deserves mention. His flock, small!
one as yet, is headed by full blood
registered CotswOld buck, two years
old, which won first premium at the
state fair last fall. AT shearing time
he weighed $50 pounds, and his fleece
weighed l64 pounds. From the rest of
the flock, consisting of twelve ewes
and nine yearlings, Mr.. Gleason shear
ed 1923 pounds, thus making the grand
average of l2f pounds for the flock of
twenty-five. The twelve ewes, num-
Der of them full-blood from the flock
of Mr.. Hall of Burke, produced TWEEN
lived. The twelve buck lambs were
sold about August 10. They averaged
ninety -one pounds, and brought just
- apiece. The other ten lambs are
ewes, and average now about one hun
bred pounds. The flock are at present
in fine condition, IL number of the ewes
weighing over two hundred pounds.
Pure blood and good care is Mr.. Glea-
sons rule with his sheep, and we think
the above showing proves the rule a
good one.

The Boston Journal suggests way
for the democrats of New Hampshire
who declared in convention that they
"viewed with alarm the increase of in
temperance" in that state, to put an
end to it, if they are potent with their
party friends, and that is TO induce
those in the business of making drunk
ards in the Granite state to quit that
employment. Were this done, it says,
at least three-fourths of the drunkard
factories in the state would be closed,
and the remainder could then be dealt
with very easily.
