The largest house that ever turned
out for travelling theatrical troupe in
this city was that which received the
Colored Jubilee Singers in Good Tenn
plar Hall last evening. The hall was
crammed so full that many Of the audi
ence could not find seats, and had to
stand in the corners, hangupon the walls,
or stow themselves anywhere they could
find space. The entertainment was very
fair-equal to any colored troupe that
has yet been to the Sound, still it was
nothing very extraordinary. However,
every one who attended appeared pleased
with the performance, and would, no
doubt, go again, il given the opportunity.
One thing that was against the troupe
and in fact all other troupes that visit
here, was the cramped and inconvenient
stage. This ought to be remedied at
once, and more seats should be put in the
hall. 1t will pay the owners OF the hall
to do ibis.

FOREIGN TRADE,

The official report of foreign commerce for
April does not show large an excess of eI-
ports as some expected, but there is neverthe-
less an excess of $3,S30,s65 on merchandise
account. To this may properly be added
$465, OO2, the excess of exports over imports of
silver-for this metal is no longer of any use to
us as money, and becomes of use only when ex-
ported with other surplus products. The ex-
ports of merchandise were $2,00S,2 12 larger
than those of April. 1882. but were neverthe-
less the smallest in any month since July last.
The imports. however, fell $9,331, 444 below
those of April, 1882, and about So, 700,0 900 be-
low those of last March 1t is not quite encour-
aging that merchandise exports fall SO low this
season. A year ago the barns we're empty, aul
the stock in elevators was greatly reduced

THE FIRST BRIDGE DISASTER.

Although the Brooklyn Bridge is a great tri-
umph of engineering skill as whole, 1t Is
already apparent that in some of the details of
its construction it is sadly detective. The ac-
cdent which occurred yesterday. within week
from the opening of the structure to the public,
de monstrates this. The rush of travel at
o'clock was from Brooklyn. At the steps in the
footpath, over the anchorage, the crowd nat
urally moved more slowly, and was denser
there than behind. Just what primarily caused
the panic which ensued is not entirely clear.
As nearly as can be learned, however, some
ruffianly young men, who thought the people
in front of them did not move quickly enough,
began to push. The descent of 1.-THE footway
gave a force to the movement, which it would
not have had in level place, and the pressure
at the stairs became fearful. Women and chill
dren cried out and tho men shouted. just at
this fatal moment woman and girl fell on
tbe stems. The results that followed were in
eyitable. Unable to pause, the mass at the
stairs began to tumble upon those who were
already down. Confusion and terror spread.
Some thought the Bridge was giving way, and
So before the few policemen who were scattered
about the structure could control the crowd,
twelve people were killed and many more were
injured.
Two questions will come up in every mind {:
Could no. the Bridge have been so constructed
that there would have been no steep descent of
narrow steps? Could not the Bridge have been
so policed that such q crush as that of yester-
6av would have been impossible To the lay
mind there seems no reason why if steps were
necessary at that point they should not have
| been of easy slope with broad treads and not OF
the perilous pitch which those now i'll use have
| Experience had already shown that this was a
place of peculiar danger. Why were not the
most thorough precautions taken to guard
against a crush and panic just at that point 7
The Bridge management had already had
ample WARMING of trouble The enormous
crowds of last Friday and of last Sunday had
shown the officials what to expect 1t is out of
all reason to say that proper policing of the
Bridge with q wel-drilled, powerful and num-
erOus force would not make any such disaster
as that of yesterday impossible The peril of a
blockade at this particular spot should have
been foreseen and the means to prevent it
should have been the chief object of attention
from the earliest hour yesterday.
The trustees and the men whom they have
put in charge of the sh ucture have brought the
Bridge to msgnifct mt completion. But If
they are to be judged by yesterdays fatal
bunder they are wholly incompetent to take
care of it now that it has become the mighty
highway between two great cities. They
must mend their ways or retire The people of
both cities, knowing full well that such "a
tragedy as that of yesterday might readily have
been prevented by proper care and proper
foresight, will certainly hold the management
to a severe accounting for their trust

bly became smaller before July than IL hao
been at any time for twenty years. lnae OK
ports are not materially larger now tnan tney
were then must he attributed in part TO a lack
Of foreign demand resulting from large eA-
potts In November, December and January.
About $2,OOO,OOO of gold came into the
country and went out again during the mon.n
of April, so that the excess of imports OF goiu
for the month was only 1921, 1876. As there Is
q large sum due each month on account OF ln'
terest. besides differences of freight-monsy, In
surance and undervaluations OF imports, IL Is
evidept that the United States would nave
been in debt to other countries on the whole
transactions of the month, had not securities
been sent to this side. No doubt the amount
Of stpcks brought here for sale in April an
since May 1 has been fully as large as the
difference in merchandise and specie account,
and it may be assumed that the very large ef-
cess of exports during the six months ending
March 81, amounting to $12O,2O1 ,O39 on
merchandise account, was needed 10 cover III
debtedness created during the previous year OF
short crops. That the foreign accounts are now
nearly balanced may he inferred from the rate
and comparative steadiness of foreign e1-
change for some time past. Assuming that the
movement of merchandise, specie and securities
will nearly balance each other in June, we shall
probably enter upon the new fiscal and crop
wear with a slate nearer clean than it has been
for a long time.

that spatronage Is the bulwark of political

They fail to perceive that @patronage alone
has never ayailed to save either party or q
leader from merited defeat. All the patronage
in the country could not save the Third Term or
its defenders from political oblivion. IL Will
not be able to save the Republican party either
if that party refuses to heed the demands OF
the people for the reduction of expenditures
and civil service reform. By devoting Itself at
the last session of Congress to reforms when
had been demanded by the people the Kepuoll-
can leaders regained largely the ground they
had lost in the preceding campaign, and they
have only to persevere in the same course 10
make success certain next year.
President Arthur's proposed reduction is on
the same line it is wise, polite and patriotic
act, and will bring the party more votes than
all the revenue officers in the country ever
thought Of controlling.

WORRYING ABOUT PATRONAGE.


The Presidents wise decision to consolidate
the Internal Revenue districts and dispense
with the services of thirty or thirty i've col
lectors has not unnaturally created cOmmo-
ton among the Ofice-hOlders. Washington is
said to be lively with friends of the threatened
collectors who are awaiting the Presidents re-
turn to demonstrate to him that any reduction
will ruin the party. Several Congressman are
also Oh hand, declaring themselves amazed
almost beyond utterance at such an unprece-
dented proposition. That the President of his
own free will should deliberately throw to the
winds @some of the most important patron
age" in the party 40 astonishes them that they
doubt his clearness Of mind.
Protestations of this patriotic and compre-
hensivc character were to be expected. There
are many Republicans, mostly ofiice-holders
and dispensers Of Offices, who are convinced
