THE NEW YORK PRESS.

The Herald this morning asks why "the eff
forts of the criminal authorities are not
pushed vigorously In the direction of those
who bought the Aldermen" 1t says that If the
enemies of home rule succeed In dethroning
Mr.. Gladstone, "he will fall like Samson,
carrying with him, not impossib.y, the ruins
Of much Of England's supremacy and power"
The Tribune says that the escape Of Chief
Geronimo is difficult to explain on any the
ory compatible with the retention of conf
dence in his custodians," and adds that IAN
other long and costly Indian campaign has
nothing to show for 1t but the scattered graves
of murdered and unavenged American citi-
Zens."
The Times says that If the organization of
the knights of Labor sis to continue In ex-
istence with any hope of promoting the well
fare of worklngmen 1t must not only discoun-
tenance such proceedings as have been going
on in Texas and Missouri, but cast out of the
order those who are responsible for them"
The World remarks that the adoption of tho
Edmunds resolution, instead Of supplying the
Republican Senators with definite policy
with respect to combinations, seems merely
to have deepened the complications In the
situation, Take II altogether, the dignity of
the Senate-especially the Republican side of
it's suffering TO a considerable extent Just
now. II would be improved, no doubt, by
the removal of secrecy, remedy which is
widely recommended,
The star says that Colonel Morrison has at
last formulated sharp, concise, clear and win
ming issue IL Is free wool, free fax, free lum-
ber, free fish and free salt - II sees no promise
In the political horizon that points TO the re-
election of Senator Edmunds without bitter
contest. Far less Is there the promise of
higher honors at his party's hands"
The SaH continues its assaults upon the
alleged inequalities and iniquitles Of the
River and Harbor bill. 1t inolines to the be
lief, based upon various sources of informa-
tion, that with regard to the Massachusetts,
postofiices the Administration has adopted
"a beautiful System for building up the party
that is, the Republican party"

MIR, MATTHEWS AGAIN.

THE CRITIC has expressed its mind
regarding the nomination of Mr., Mat
thews for Recorder Of deeds with much
plainness of speech. There is no use
in saying anything more on the subject
especially as those in whose interest
we have spoken do not seem to have the
courage to say anything for themselves,
Yet we will briefly state the case once
more that there may be no mistake
about our position and what we believe
to be the position of most of the people
of the District.
MIR. Matthews is not objected to on
account of his color. The whitest mln
in Albany would be equally objection
able The blackest man in Washing
ton, if capable for the position, would
be preferable to either. But he is oh.
jected to because the property-holders
of the District, like property holders
elsewhere, are naturally solicitous to
have all offices pertaining to their
property rights in the hands of men
of whose responsibility they have per
sonal knowledge and who themselves
have some personal familiarity and
identity with the interests.which they
are appointed to look after
Mr.. Cleveland thinks differently. He
has always been used to home rule, and
consequently doesn't know what it Is
to do without it.
And now that the appointment comes
up for confirmation, the curious spec
tacle is presented of Republican and
Democratic Senators alike, going back
upon the principle OF home rule as
enunciated In both the national plat
forms. Democratic Senators will vote
for Mr.. Matthews because he was nomi.
mated with view to breaking up the
solid colored vote; Republican Sena-
tors will vote for him. not, of course,
for this reason, but because they are
afraid to do otherwise, lest they might
thus aid In precipitating such q result.

A Fine TransIntion of "Faust. :,

After fifteen years Of patient research and
unremitting care, Mr.. Frank Claudy OF this
city has translated into and published In the
English language Goethe's immortal poem,
''The Tragedy Of Faust" 1t is true, many
translations have been made from time to
time, chief among which is that Of Bayard
Taylor. But it is the first time that a German
born has attempted to translate into Eng
lish the work of his gifted countryman. The
student and scholar will find that the work
has been most admirably rendered-in many
respects superior to any translation extant.
The great beauties of the original are pre-
served with nicely and finish that leads
one to think that the work is original in
stead Of translation. Mr.. Claudy must
have thought himself most intensely into
the subject. And as 1t is known that he is
poet Of no mean requirements, It is no
wonder that his translation has retained q
metre and rhythm that would honor the
best Of poets. The book is handsomely
gotten up, published by W. II. Morrison
and is for sale by all the leading book
sellers of the country. 1t certainly de-
serves large sale,
The Washington critic., 1886-04-03
THE NET RESULT.

Even the most partisan opponents OF
President Cleveland must admit that
he has come out of the recent contro-
versy between himself and the Senate,
with dignity and credit, Whatever
the exact constitutional limits of the
executive prerogative in regard to re.
movals and suspensions may be, 1t has
certainly suffered no stain nor loss of
prestige by any unbecoming act or
speech on the Presidents part. He
has shown courage without petulance
--earnestness without impertinence-in
maintaining what he believes to be his
by virtue of his Office. To this extent
he has, beyond question, strengthened
himself with the people at large and
with the disaifected elements of his
own party.
The Republican Senators, on the
other hand, have evidently weakened
whatever cause they had through di-
vided counsels among themselves and
by manifest inconsistencies in the
matter of combinations and reflections,
both before and since the final vote on
the Edmunds resolutions. Had they
been thoroughly convinced of the
tenability Of their position, or of the
necessity of raising any issue at all with
the President, or had they disclosed
none other than an honest motive for
antagonizing the Administrations
simply to determine the rightful rela.
tions between Senatorial privilege and
Executive obligation-the result might
have been materially different.
They stood together, it is true-so
closely at times that they seemed to be
a good deal in each others way-but
they failed to convince the people that
their performance was much of any.

now falls fiat upon the country, as a
mere enunciation Of partisan opinion
and an opinion which its supporters
seem willing to violate on the least
provocation and repudiate whenever 1t
suits their convenience, without the
slightest compunction of conscience,

The Washington critic., 1886-04-03

The question of Civil Service Reform
Is also involved because Mr.. Matthews
Is not only appointed as reward for
partisan services performed, but as an
inducement to partisan results to be
brought about in the future.
The Senators who vote not to con
firm will do so simply because of their
friendship for the people Of the Dis
trict, whom they believe to be wronged
In this matter. They would sooner

retained than to have man imported

other view than to the effect it may
have on the colorcd vote in New York.

THE BOAT HORN.
o, boatman! wind that horn again,
For never did the listening air

o, boatmanl wind that horn again,
For never did the listening air
Upon its lambent bosom bear
10 wild, so soft, so sweet strainl
What though thy notes are sad and few,
by every simple boatman blown,
Yet Is each pulse TO nature true,
And melody In every tone.
How oft in boyhood's joyous days,
Unmindful of the lapsing hours,
I've loitered ON my homeward way
By wild ohio's bank of flowers
While some lone boatman from the deck
Poured his soft numbers 10 the tide
AS II TO charm from stone and wreck
The boat where all his fortunes ridel
Delighted Nature drank the sound,
Enchanted echo bore Il round
In whispers soft and softer still,
From hill TO plain and plain TO hill,
TIL cen the thougbtless frolic boy,
Elate with hope and wild with 10y,
Who gamholed by the river side,
And sported with the fretting tide,
Feels something new peryade his breast
Change his light step, repress his Jest,
Bends DER the flood his eager ear
To catch the sounds far off. yet dear
Drinks the sweet draught,. but knows not VIII
The tear Of rapture fills his eye.

IT is very unusual day in New

for taking bribes or stealing from the

it would not be well for the authorities
to send all of the gentlemen to the same

Cincinnati was concluded q few days
ago. The bishop ratifies the findings OF

DR.. Armstrong to five years suspension
from the pulpit. The report Of the bish-
op has created great discussion in the

is being indulged in by the Eplscopa-

able congregation in the city, and about
two years ago had 4 misunderstanding
with the bishop about the title Of the
ground on which the church was built.
The bishop cnjoined the church from
selling a part Of the lot and won the
suit. A division of the church occurred
and st. Lnkc's was built aud was made
by the bishop his cathedral. Since then
there has never existed the best Of feel
