There was another fire two years ago, however in
which an iron curtain played n like unsatisfactory

ment it was utterly impossible TO lower the iron

readers. When the Park Theatre was burned, last
October. it was admirably provided with automatic
Grc-alarm boxes but strange to say they failed TO
cbeck the flames. Not only was there inilammable
material everywhere, but there were no means
worth serious consideration for separat-
ing tho auditorium from tho stage.

tion of the Park Theatre was begun in 1878. two

that brick proscenum walls should be raised above

useful, nor would it prove caectual IN any case un-

caused by its barely filing tho proscenum arch. so

There are symptoms Of genuine self-pro-
PEELED Tilden boom. 1t looked at one time IA
if the spring would be permitted to come and

withdrew from politics somewhat more for
mally than usual last fall aud the general belief
WAS tbar the @od man means it this time
Wa took that view, ana have looked with ill.,
credulity upon all rumors of revival, and
there have been many of these during the past
few weeks Tho information has pei meated
the State that the Sage has renewed his youth
in an almost miraculous manner, and that his
frat im2usc is TO devote his regained energies
10 his beloved Democratic party. His way of
expressing bis love for his party is well known.
He wlnks to them i'll paternal manner and OBJ
serves: @Come, my children. let us serve our

Presidency II is said that this wink has been
bestowed upon the faithful few OF his inner cir
Gle. and that they are communicating II
throughout the party ranks. Something OF the
kind has evidently happened, for the brethren
are all in comniOton, and there is everywhere
visible the same air of expectancy which used
TO peryade the party when Iumor got abroad
that the "old man had tapped fresh barrel"
One of the latest rumors says that Tilden aud
Rondal have formed an alliance; that
Tilden is to give Randall the support of the
New~York delegation for Speaker, and that in
return Randall is to secure the Pennsylvania
deleyation TO the National Convention for
TiIden. We have no means of Judging how
much or how little truth there is in this rumor,
but there is evidently enough in it to convince
our buoyant friend Mr.. Cox that his candidacy
for The Speakershp is even less of n joke to
himself than he thought 1t was. There are
many elements in common between Tilden and
Randall which would make an alliance natural
and formidable. They are both expert in still
hunt methods, and are equally expert in
stradd;ing questions upon Which definite posi-
| ton would be dangerous. On the tariff they
would harmonic beautifully. Nobody knows
which side Mr. Randall was on last, and nobody
has been able TO discover that Mr.. Tilden was
ever OF either side long enough to be identified.

for the Democracy, mainly because of the tariff

DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS CONDEMNED.
Since the time of Tweed there has not been
LEGISLATURE at Albany so reckless of the inter
csts of this city as the one now III session.
Mayor Edison early recognized its true charac-
ter, and took a wise course to keep the Gov
ernor informed IN regard 10 city measures. lie
organized weekly conference of department
heads TO consider non partisan bills affecting
the interests Of the taxpayers. The only mis-
take he made in this matter was that OF having
these meetings secret thus presumably depriv-
ing the public of much valuable information.
Tho work of this conference is a striking
commentary ON the character of the Democratic
representatives from this city at Albany. Or
the twelve department heads that form what
has thus come to be known as the Mayors Cab
met not more than two of them are Republl-
cans The other ten are leading Democrats,
among whom are such well known politicians
as Hubert o. Thompson, of the County De-
mocracy; John j. German, OF Tammany Hall;
and II. II. Porter, of Irving Hall. The confer
ence has considered altogether forty-lour bills
in regard to this city that have been introduced
in the Legislature, forty OF which 1t has an
oualGedly condemned. Three bills were APP
proved and change was recommended III the
fourth. That is the deliberate judgment of
the Democratic leaders on tho work OF the
party's representatives at Albany, 80 far rs that
work has been considered. One only of the
forty-four bills was introduced Ivy Republican,
and that measure was goodpaturedly offered
at the request of Democrat oiicehold now
a candidate for president of the Health Board.
The Democrats who have in this way been
censurcd by the Mayors Cabinet are Muir ply,
Campbell, Roche, Roesch, Quinn, Miller,
Butler of Kings, Clarke, Cary, McAanus,
Brooks, Earl, j. F. Higgins, Oakley. Null
Ianey Il. Maher, Smith, Boyd, Fitzgerald,
Treanor, Koch, Browning, Haggerty, Grady
and DAILY. Twenty-one OF the twenty-five
members thus convicted by a jury of their
Democratic peers of betrayal Of trust arc from
the City of New-York, and two are from
BROOKLYN. "MIken Murphy, Sim " Campbell
and Senator @Joe" Koch take the lead in hav-
ing introd uced more Objectionable measures
than the Others The absence of the fragrant
name of Spinola and the scarcely less malodor-
ous names Of Jacobs and Herman must not be
understood to imply any merit on their part.
Their bills have not yet been considered. The
conference of the department heads has held
only six meetings. Over 100 bills have been
introduced in the Legislature. and about one
quarter of those apply specially TO this city.
The Mayors Cabinet has considered only
forty -four of those measures, forty OF which II

To the Lyceum Associations Of the United States:
The undersigned is preparing for delivery during
noxt season q thrilling lecture founded on his own
personal OK erlence, entitled: Hoised Out of His
Individual Boots by His Own Pct Willimanhc
Potard" Owing to the fact that he is inextrcably
meshed in the coils of some thread which he rashly
handled a while ago. the lecturer will be compelled
TO assume the position in speaking In which he now
finds himself-aat on his back. Any lyceum that
can show him way out Of the meshes will be en-
titled to hear the lecture without charge. Address
w. G. Sumner, Yale College, New-Haven Conn.
p. SIN order to save the time OF lyceum COM
mittees the Professor would announce that his
other thrilling lecture " Ultraomniscience. an Auto
biography" is withdrawn from the lecture field for
repairs.
Really Mr. Conklng ought to advertise for new
phrase in which to express his admiration OF his
friend General Grant. He is apparently unable to
coin new one hlrself. Away back In 1870 he
first used in the Senate the expression Great in
the arduous greatness of things done" When he
nominated General Grant for third term Mt Chr
cago in 1880, no rolled out the same sentence in his
most impressive manner: Great III the arduous
greatness of things DONE" At the dinner which
General Grant gave to General Diaz on Wednesday
we find Mr.. Conkling closing one of his most ire
mendous sentences in tremendous tribute TO the
greatness of his host by declaring that General
Grant made his place among mon mot by cheap
words and phrases. but by the greatness of things
done" The phrase may not have been cheap one
when it was coined. but submit that Mr.. Conk-
ling has PLAYED it for all it is worth. IL is thin and
old, If it is not cheap.
