The decision of the Court Of Appeals in the
Eden Musee case proved to be an admirable
thing In SO far as 1t stopped the proposed prize
fight between Sullivan and Mitchell. But the
Mayors latest interpre ation of it, in effect that
sno entertainment in which singing, dancing,
athletics, orchestra or solo playing" occur can
be allowed without an expensive theatrical
license first being obtained naturally awakens
dismay in many directions, and the city officials
have reached wise decision III resolving to
let persons interested obtain an injunction in
order to test this Interpretation of the statute
The chances are that the Mayors position will
De sustained and IN that case the law Itself will
doubtless speedily be amended. The public at
large are not ut all anxious to sec minor places
of amusement taxed ont of existence.
Tn another column to-day will be found pro-
test from the brewers Of NewYork and lis
neichborhood against the boycott declared by
the labor unions against George Ehret. They
state the case clearly, pointing out that it is an
attempt to punish Mr.. Ehret simply because he
told the truth in court, as the law and bis oath
compelled him to do. To punish him for this, his
associates in business declare, tends to BRING
the laws and the administration OF justice into
contempt, and to compel individuals by wan
ton abuse of power, to disregard the mandates
of the courts or to violate the dictates OF con-
sciencer This is all true; but unfortunately
what the brewers and all other good citizens
depiecate is precisely what the labor unions
seem anxious to bring about. They will fail, of
course. Even if their cause were just, their
methods would finally ruin it.
The gushing friends of the President still cry
out loudly that the people " approve his pen
sion vetoes How about the case discussed yes
terday7 The bill provided a small pension for
a destitute old woman whose husband was
wounded at Murfreesboro, and died later. HIS
death. however, was "nOt entirely due to the
wound" The aged woman had sent four sons
to the war also two were killed, another lost
an arm, and the fourth an eye. The President
r.fuses 10 sign the bill because it would estab-
lish bad precedent" The people will hardly
agree with him. They will be much more
likely TO condemn the precedent he is so anxious
to estabish-the sending OF destitute aged
mothers of soldiers to the p0orhouse in order
that the Democratic party may gain a repu-
tation for economy.
VIII Mr. Gadstone's defeat end in his resig
nation This is the question which all political
London is interested IN, now that the elections
have prov ed adverse to Gladstonian Home
Rule. THE TRIBUNE's special cable dispatches
this morning lpresent the arguments which the
Premiers friends urge as reasons for his re-
naming in Office. Coercion, it is said, is out OF
the question, and although Mr.. Gadstone's Irish
proposals have been condemned by the
country, yet .he. is the only man that can hope
to bring in q measure foI the government of
Ireland which will be accepted by the Irish
members. This sounds plausible but the
truth is it is still too early for Mr. Gladstone
any one else to know what to do. What wise
observers most dreaded has probably happened
Great Britain has a new Parliament, but not
one from which a strong Government of any
kind can be formed. All the leaders therefore
will act cautiously.
