THE CHILD THEE

The case of the little girl who was sent to
steal purses by the friend of the family 20
whose care her parents had intrusted her is no
doubt very shocking, and the punishment OF
the woman who taught the child thieving ought
to be exemplary. But there is another aspect
of the case which it is the more necessary to call
attention to because it involves culpable
carelessness on the Part of large section of
the public which constitutes strong tempta-
ton to dishonesty of this kind. No woman,
however depraved, would train a child to steal
pocket books unless stealing pocket-books was
very easy work. And this is the case. Women
as a rule, when they are shopping, carry their
pocketbo so carelessly and imprddently
that nothing is easier than for thief possess
ing the minimum of training to get possession
of them in a crowded store. AS all the stores
on all the principal streets of New 7 ork are
crowded every day and all day during the
Christmas holidays, the opportunities offered
to pickpockets are abundant, and they natural
~ make the most of them.
Women carry their purses in their hands, or
in their muiis, or in handbags which they are
apt to pnt down on the counter beside or in
front of them when they are examining goods
10 a store. Sometimes they thrust their pocket
books into the SHALLOW size pOckets OF uSht-
fitting jackets. They ale not more secure there
than in the other repositories named. In fact,
the jacket pocket is perhaps the most unsafe
place of all. That purses are often lost under
these circumstances is in no way remarkable.
1t ould be singular if they were not. Thieves
are tempted by the facility with which money
can be made. There is little risk in the business.
Neither the stOrekeepers nor the customers can
spare time to look sharply about them in the
rash of holiday purchasing and selling. The
crow DIS are 30 dense that the chan ces of dis
covering an adroit thief are very slender. In
short, all the advantages are with the pick
pockets, and it is the women principally who
are responsible for this state of things. Why
they will insist upon exposing themselves so
reeklessly to robbery it is impossible to under
stand. Men never go about the streets or the
stores with their pocket books in their hands
or hanging on their arms IN satchels which any
body can open in crowd without being
ticed. Hitherto warning and remonstrance
have been equally futile, Possibly the femi-
nine conscience may be reused by the considera-
tion that those who deliberately put temptation
in the way of the weak and vicious cannot be
acquitted of responsibility for the results.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1886-12-31
would not improbably 40 abuse the opportuni-
ties presented as to compel counter alliances
hitherto scarcely thought of, and thus to bring
about the dreaded collision.
THE CITY TAX BUDGET

In fixing In advance each year the appropria-
tons for thu different city departments, the
Board of Estimate has difficult task to per-
form. But the present Board has done its work
reasonably well. The budget for 1887, as
completed last night, appropriates S34. 49,
273. an increase of 1914. 952 over the budget
for 1885, This includes SOL, 900 for the
Registers office, which for the first time figures
in the budget, and 100000 for electrical
signal boxes for the Police Department. In
oby iating the necessity for an increase of the
police force this 100000 will be well ex-
pended.
The fees of the Registers Office will hereafter
be turned into the city treasury. and If the
Office is properly administered the city will
profit considerably from this change. These
fees will increase tho general fund, SO that the
actual amount to be raised by taxation is
estimated at So l, 657, 273, as against $31 ,552-
$50 for the present year. This does not repre-
sent by any means the whOle expense of the
city government, as the expenditures of the
Dock and Excise boards and those made for
improvements are met in other ways. COnsld-
erine the increase in the valuations OF real
estate, and providing that the Legislature does
not add to the tax levy, the rate of taxation
next year will be So %. This year the rate
was 81 %.
The rate ought to be much lower. But no
material reduction can be expected until the
Board of Estimate is given more power over
the departments The larger part of the tax
levy is now fixed by lava system altogether
wrong In making a reduction of $3.50, 1000 in
The appropriation for the Park Dep@ tment,
the Board of Estimate did right. After the
serious arraignment of that department yes
terday by Mr.. Coleman, no other course was
open But there IS no reason to believe that
the Park Departure has been any more
wastefrll than some others. There is no doubt
that a large percentage of the money spent in
many of the departments is either extrava-
gantly or unwise'y expended. But it ia difficult
for the Board of Estimate to control such
matters.

THE REPORTED GERMAN Alliance.

M. BlOwtz states very confidently and on
the highest authority" as he says that Ger
many has formed an alliance with Russia The
news is important if true. 1t appears to be
Supported by the sudden change in the tone Of
the Vienna press, which from hectOring has
fallen to muttering, and already hints at the
necessity, in the altered circumstap ces. of
making peace With the Northern Power. Such
an alliance. however, would be regarded with
dismay in Downing Street as well as in Vienna
and Pesth, for it appears to involve the aban-
donment of British as well as AustrO- Hun
garian interests, and the extension of carte
blanche to the Car to work his will not only in
the Balkans but ON the Afghan frontier. A
knowledge that such an alliance had been
made would account for the marked pacific
tone which has characterized the recent utter
ances of NJ. de Freycinet, General Boulanger
and several of the leading Paris journals. 1t
is clearly not at such time that war of re-
venge can be hopefully undertaken. aud it is
equally clear that an alliance between Ger
many and Russia might render it unsafe for
French journals and politicians to tickle the
populace by abuse of all things Teutonic.
The extensive pre- operations for war said to be
in progress by Russia are not calculated to
deprive the latest report OF significance. They
may no doubt have been begun under the IN
fuence of other auticipations, but there is no
reason to expect their suspension If the one
serious menace which lately confronted the
Car, that, namely. of interference by Ger
many and Austria, has disappeared. An
alliance with Germany must mean great posi-
bilities for Russia. 1t clears the Balkan prov
inces of opponents. 1t may even open the road
all the way to the BOsphorus. Occup alton Is
made more than possible by it. Austria
siienced, England paraiyzed. there would be
nothing to prevent the settlement Of The East
ern Question In full accord with the MuscOyite
policy but such reservations as Prince Bis
marck would presumably introduce to any
treaty. As to the duration. OF an alliance be-
tween the two great Powers, nothing could be
counted on beyond the life of Emperor Will
lam. His successor is known to hold other
vie rs, and not to desire the friendship of the
Car. while. the German national feeling is
strongly hostile to Russia. Should the news
prove true, the event would do much to Iestole
confidence In the maintenance OF the general |
peace of Europe at least for the present, |
though Russian ambition and rccklessness |

NO NEED on CODDLING OPERA.

Evening Post" desiring to do IL q good turn, in
dulged its unique taste for befouling lbs own nest
by n column of lying abuse OF the newspapers Of
the city and country, In the course OF which it
took occasion, as it generally does to demonstrate
its dense ignorance of the facts concerning which
il tried TO speak The simple fact is that no en-
tcrprise that put on foot in New-fork
has had one-tenth much help from the news
papers as the American Opera Company, and It's
managers know il. The difficulty with them is
the one that is chronic with Mr.. Thomas-a belcf
that in his presence criticism should be dumb
Every patriotic music lover in the land is anxious
to see the establishment on firm basis OF opera
in the vernacular. But this fact does not place
bar against such expression OF opinion as othcr
enterprises are used to and welcome with grail
tude. Opera in English is new thing In
America but good deal older than opera In
Italian German, and singers who have been
mediocre worse in earlier companies are not
changed into artists OF high rank because bhey
appear under the pgis of the National Opera
Company.
We believe that the foremost operatic enter
tainmcnts in the United States should make use
of the English tongue, AMI for this consummation
are willing TO extend all possible encouragement
to the National enterprise, which we hope viii

knowledge. growing steadily in honesty and
seriousness Of intention, Kidding itself and

energetic dancing make an opera, and abandoning
its present foolish and hIlmiiatng belief that by
virtue of its name and the people at its head
it is entitled 10 be coddled without ceasing.
