DALY'S THEATRE-A PRELUDE PIECE
At Days Theatre last ght The Lottery Of Love,a
which has drawn crowded houses for nearly month,
and which evidently will have a long run, agaia

ment and tho acting Of gives apt illustration OF the
fellct0us ingenuity which causes so much pleasure
when the method of comedy is applied to farciea'
theme. One of the funniest elements I'm comedy
certainly Is equIvok and Of that The Lottery OF Love
furnishes a remarkably dTol example. Miss hehan,
Mr.. Drew, Mrs. Gilbert Mr.. Lewis and their asso-
ciaes acted in spirit Of brilliant viGor, and whs

Previous to the comedy acted, for the first

study under the name Of The Wife of Socrates
This is bit of blank verse dialogue, written by Mr.
Justin II. Mccarthy, upon the basis OF frhcA
composition by Mr.. Theodore de Banvllle. IL con-
talns an episode Of domestic experience. The one
scene required for it Is simple but rich Greek In
terror, showing the home of Socrates. There ar
seven speaking parts In it, and fifteen persons in all
are displayed. The language is severely concise and
shows no signs OF poetry or even an attempt AZ
rhetoric. Miss Ada Rehan presented Xantppe, and

the truth about the English candidate and his
buncombe Retaliation Message, and that the
Democrats have been lying about both matters.
Now. will some of these shrewd party tao
tcians tell us what bearing the dismissal OF the
British Minister can possibly have upon the
vital points at issue? 1t proves undoubted-
Iy that the President and his advisers are very
angry with Lord Sackville for hurting out the
truth. but it will not convict him OF telling
what was false Although he is dismissed IN
hot haste. he has established the identity Of
English and Democratic policy respecting large
" increased importations of foreign goods into
the United States lie has furnished the Presl-
dent with an official certificate from the British
Embassy as the candidate whom England Ia
yors from motives of self-interest. lie has
discredted the Retaliation Message as cam
paign mposture-mechanica thunder for the
American political stage that does not imperil
Canadian interests.
It is the truth which the British Minister
has told that is destructive to the Democratic
cause. The truth-teler is dismissed with Hour
ish of trumpets and affected zeal for National
honor. But his revelation to the American
people cannot be blotted out. His official
message delivered at crisis in American po-
litical fortunes may affect the industrial des-
TIMES of the continent for years to come.

conclusion is irresistible that the Democratic
majority is gradually dwindling. This is graf
flying, not only as foreshadowing larger vo'e
for Harrison and Morton than many pohticiahs
have been figuring on. but it offords grounr ior
a more than reasonable hope that the local ne
publican ticket will be triumphantly elected
All the more. therefore. should the Republicans

that are relied on by Barnum. German and
Company to do their dirty work in this State
What that work is was described yesterday In
the account of the plot laid for carrying New
York for the Democratic National ticket by
foul and disreputable methods. They are
savory lot of persons who have been imported
as the agents to carry out this scheme-con-
viots, law-breakers. ballot-box suffers and the
like. The Republicans have .ern warned in
time, however, and the unremitting effort and
vigilance required to prevent the consumma-
ton Of this outrage will be put forth. Every
individual in the Republican ranks should feel
that he has personal duty to perform.

THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR


There is nothing negative nothing common
Mace. nothing weak and nothing corrupt IN the
city and county tickeG which the Republicans
have nut in the field. Colonel Erhardt Is no
Nero letter writer He is q thorough worker,
and if he is put in the Mayors chair by the
SURFACES of his fellow-citizens he will give the
sort of practical personal supervision 10 the
operations Of the various departments which
these departments so sadly need. The election
of Colonel Erhardt will mean better pavements,
cleaner streets, the putting of the telegraph and
electric wires under ground, an efficient ana
honest administration of the Department Oh
Public Works, an improvement in the Tone
the discipline and the machinery OF every
branch of the municipal service lie IS III
such position that he can give his whole time
10 the service of his fellOw-citizens, ana ne Is
so active and energetic, so full OF admirable
qualities, so we'll equipped for the hardest OF
hard worl; which shall be fruitful of the best
results, that all voters of intelligence and
breadth of view should prefer him to any OF
the other candidates.
He is in the very prime Of his life and the
prime of his powers. His health is eXcelleht'
and all his faculties are in the finest working
order. If Colonel Erhardt is elected Mayor,
the metropolis will have an executive head
whose labors will be guided by discretion and
sapacity. who will not fritter away his time

quarrels or disputes, but who will 60 straight

LORD SACKYILLE DISMISSED.

Ten DAYS ago the country learned that the
British Minister had undertaken to tell
American citizens how TO vote. 1t has taken
the President all that time to find out that
something had to be done about it. AT last he
has done what was demanded from the very
first by q more astute and devoted Democratic
leader, the Editor of "The Sum-" He has closed
diplomatic relations with the offending Min
lister. As to the Minister, this is just. AS to
the political embarrassments he has created, it
is too late to do any good.
A prompt rebuke administered the instant
Lord Sackville was discovered meddling in our
election might have caused people in their sat
isfaction with such maintenance OF the Ex-
ecutive dignity to overlook the fact that the
British Minister was electOneering in MIR.
Cleyeland's interest, because he knew it was
the interest of Great Britain. But the Presi-
dent waited too long. He did not discover
anything wrong in the matter till the uproar
in the country showed that the exposure was
hurting him. Then he got mad.
The real Importance of the incident lies in
the conclusive proof of the English feeling
and judgment it furnishes, and that is not in
the least affected by the Presidents tardy
action. From the outset of this campaign the
Republicans have declared that the Administra-
TONS policy was British policy, and that it
received warm approval by such intelligent
Free Traders as the English, because they knew
it to be in their interest. Just as soon as Mr.
Cleveland's party found out that this opinion
was hurting them, they denied it; denied that
they favored free trade, and denied that the
English were on their SIDE Yet Mr.. Cleve-
lands message on the tariff was received with
an outburst of English approval. The Mills bill
had an equally warm welcome in England. Mr.
Cleveands denomination received the unani-
nous support of the English press, and his Re
taliation Message was treated with good naturet
indifference as a necessity of the home can
yass. And now the British Minister says in
substance to English voters on the Pacific
Coast who claim to be disturbed by that mes
sage that it means nothing, and that when the
Presidents reelection is secured he will again
favor English interests.
This revelation of the English Ministers
feeling and belief is the important point. Moth
ing that can now be done will obscure it. Get
ting mad at it after finding that his maladroit
letter does harm does not change the facts mol
cause the people to forget them. He was awk-
ward enough to let the cat out of the bag and
it cannot be caught and concealed again by
waiting ten days to estimate the damage, and
finally telling him to 60 home Too late, Mr.
President, too late.

woRrUy CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS-

It is a grave responsibility that will be taken
by every Republican who fails to support the
candidate OF his party for Congress with all
the assistance which he can give. We ought not
by any remissness or lack of effort to lose the
lid District in Brooklyn, which is now repre-
sented by Republican vigorous and ag-
ressive campaign ought TO capture the Vth. In
the With, Charles n. Taintor, the candidate is
one of the most popular and esteemed Repub-
licans in the city BY education, by experience,
by the test of public service, and by his grasp
of affairs, Mr. TainIor is exceptionally equipped
for Congress. The Republicans of that district
can elect him against tue div idcd and lighting
will be most unfortunate.
In the XIth District, Charles A. Winch. well
known business man, who has an extremely large
number of friends both in the district aud through
out the city, has been put in the field and should
make an excellent run. His prospects are by
no means hopeless, and Republicans should not
slaexen in their work for him until the votes
are counted on election day. la the XIIth the
nominee is a young, earnest, ambitious man, Of high
principles and of excellent character, ID. Morgan
Illdreth, jr. lie is canvassng the district with
much energy, and he ought TO get big vote.
In the XIlIth, James Otis Iloyt is of the best
type Of men who can be induced TO accept
nomination for public office, and in every way
his claims not only on the members of his own
party, but on conscientious and high-minded Demo
Gratis and Independents, are OF the strongest. In
the XVIII also the Republicans have an admir-
able candidate in James Wood and should get
out every vote that can by any means be secured
for him- In other close and doubtful districts Of

THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC VOhho

Taypayers who have made a careful study
Of the operations Of the Department OF Pubic
Works can feel little satisfaction with the state
of affairs in that costly and complicated branch
of the municipal government Oencral New
ton is a distinguished engineer OF eminent
ability and stainless character. But he has
permitted the department to be administered
by petty politician named ID. Lowber smith,
who was always in sympathy with the most
corrupt element in the County Democracy
Smith was a favorite with all the friends and
famiars of that displaced and dishonest Official,
Hubert O. Thompson. Under ID. Lowber Smith
as Deputy Commissioner, with all the details
in his hands. the scandals of the Thompson
time have not been cleared away. The County
Democracy gang Of contractors and spolSmen
run riot through the department, as they ala
in Thompsons day. The offensive name OF
Richard A. Cunningham, who enjoyed so many
of Thompson's 5000 favors, who got all sorts
of pickings out of the department by evasion,
or even by violation Of the law, again appears
constantly. Work that should be done by con-
tract goes by a system of favoritsm to Cum
ningham and his accompices
of General Newton Of the charges made by
Mr.. Grant, any one who studies the official
statements furnished by the department itself
cannot fail to come to the conclusion that Mr..
Grant has ample ground for his charges. The
department has been for many years strong
hold of the County Democracy, and the para
sites of that rotten organization have been al
lowed to prey upon it and wax fat and insolent.
What has the department accomplished
in giving the city better pavementsP What
has it done in any way to benefit the citizens
of New-York? 1t shows no genuine zeal
toward removing the unsightly telegraph poles
from the avenues and the streets 1t is not
likely to be useful and valuable part Of lhe
city government until the Deputy Commits
sioner and the petty politicians whom he keeps
upon the pay-rolls are set packing. This change
cannot be made too soon, and if Colonel En-
hardt is elected Mayor it is certain that the
Department of Public Works will receive a
thorough overhauling, and that the taxpayers
will then get some adequate return for the
money expended.
