TIE IRVING FAREWELL NIGHT.

TIE IRNlNG FAREWELL NIGHT.
Since the 7th OF November, last year, Mr.. Irving
and Miss Terry have been acting I'm the United States
and this, their third in America, ended
last night at the Star Theatre with performance Of
olivia The house was crowded; the performance
moro than ever tender and beautiful; the audience
deeply impressed and exceedingly enthusiastic; the
farewcl-on both sides of tho curtaln-far more than
an empty ceremonial If 1t be true, and certainly IL
Is true that Mr. Irving unlike many famous actors of
the past, has aimed to conquer first OF all, by hdety
to every essential detail of nature and character in the
total effect Of his pictures OF life, not the less has he
made that individual impression for which, In the MAN,
the old actors exclusively strove. No personality OF
time IS more distinctly impressed upon the con-
temporary public mind. In the five years that have
passed since he first acted this continent peo-
plo have learned to know his qualities a man,
broad minded. full Of progressive ideas, full Of sym
pathy and chlvalry, responsive to every humane I'M
pulse wishfu to advance every good work and worthy
institution; earnest simple stra ght forwad and true.
No city that he has visited is without the record OF
his good deeds, and In every place he Is remembered
by host OF personal friends.

wALLACK's THEATRE MONEY

A revival Of BuIwers comedy Of Money" was n1de
at Wallacks Theatre last Tr,iay night, and that
familiar, pungent, often comlcal. and somewhat
drawn piece of satire upon human scfshness viii
keep the stage for few ighfs The production has
been made with caic and certain features OF the east
consplcuOnsly good. John Gilbert appears ~
Mr.. Stout, the typical Briton in politIcsvehemenf,
boscrous, comicaIly sbrcwd In tlIr 6 and
ingly dense In others The ch,leilc element OF Mr..
Gbert's humor has considerable scope in this part,
and no actor coDld tc humorous effective
than he, when this chord Is to sounded. Tho most
complex and telling part Money Is SIR John
Vesey, and this falls to that genial aad accomplished
always thorough and correct actor, Mr. Henry Ed.
wards who impersonatcs the bland old lumbug with
most conscientious and comic fidelity. The cynical
Alfred Evelyn and the retcent Clara D0Ugtas aro

Count Won M0ltkc, Prince bismarck and the
most powerful aristecra,ic houses in Germany
The American, Mary Lea. is destined, in ouf
correspondents Judgment to bc the power be-
hind the throne when the present Inflated
reign comes TO an end and Prince William
succeeds to the Imperial title bent upon gov
erning Germany for the Germans.
While social and political triumphs. which
are compared with those of Nine. dc Maintcnon
in this Berlin letter, may be reserved for the
Countess, at present she is meeting with un-
expected reveses. Since the letter was writ
ten the cable dispatches have announced that
Count Waldersee has been relieved from duty
in the War Office and ordered to the command
Of the Rhine Army Corps. AS he was Count
Won Moltke's chief lieutenant and official repre-
sentative this cannot be regarded in the light
of promotion. He has evidently been sent
out of Berlin, presumably at the instigation OF
the Empress, In order that the hostile intrigues
in the Countesss salon may cease. There is
a touch of spitefulneSs in this action that is
Characteristic Of royal petticoat government 1t
is an order from the court for the closing Of the
social rendezvous where DIR. Stoeckers intoler-
ant partisans, DIR. NIackenzies 8 malignant crit
les and the titled chiefs Of the anfi-Engfish
party meet to lament the dccadcnce Of the En-
pire, and to sigh impatiently for Tcutonic
revival under Prince William. The Empress
may be destined to have brief reign, but
while she is on the throne she apparently in
tends to direct her husbands policy with az
firm a hand as the CzariBa controls her chief
vassal, the sovereign of all the Russias. When
the end comes and there is another stately
napcant in Inter den Linden the bauishcd
American, Mary Lea, will triumph over her
and assist the present Crown Princess in man
aging the next Emperor and in turning the
English out of court, bag and baggage. The
Count will then return from the Rhine Field
Marshal and the Countess will rise to the ma
jestc heights Of her ambition.

THE STATE CONTENTION.

At its meeting yesterday the Republican
Committee decided that the State Convention
should be held at Buffalo, May 16. The busi-
ness of this convention will be the selection OF
four delegates at large to the Republican Ma
tional Convention. The time and place are
satisfactory The date is late enough to allow
the district conventions to be held without un-
due haste; and Buffalo, while not as " "centrar'
as some of her competitors for the honor, is
easily reached from all sections and possesses
ample hotel and convention accommodations.
The call for the National Convention pro-
vides that the delegates Largo shall be
chosen at State Conventions not less than thirty
days before the meeting of the National Con-
vention 1t will be seen, therefore, that our
State Convention could not have been called
at much later date without cntrenching upon
the thirty days limit, since the National Con-
veDtion is to meet June 0. We refer to this
fact for the benefit of such Of our Republican
friends in the Legislature as would have pre-
ferred later date. Speaker Cole is authority
for the assertion that if the most is made Of the
time that remains, final adjournment can take
place in season TO allow those who want to do
so to attend the Buffalo convention. And the
Speaker doubtless is right.
Now that the State Convention is called, 1t
is in order to arrange for the District conven-
tioms. We are sure the Republicans in all the
districts will meet the best expectations in the
discharge Of the important duty which con-
fronts them. The NcwYork delegation to
Chicago must be made up of men who repre-
sent the party at it's bcst-men fitted alike
by character and ability to exert commanding
influence in the great council on whose issue
so much depends.

The president of the National League of

John T. Hoffman, whose death in Germany
is recorded this morning, was Governor of this
State from 1869 to 1873. His political sup
port was derived from Tammany Hall when
Tweed and his friends controlled that organ
ization and although no suspicion was ever
attached to Governor Hoffman's personal in
tegrity, the fall of the Tweed ring took
away his backing and he ceased at once 10 be
o political force. He was a man of amiable
disposition, and possessed the elements of pop
uarity in rare degree. His later life was
leisurely. and much of his time was spent in
travel.

The Tariff bill even IL it passes the House will
not reach the Senate before May June. There
is ample leisure for exhaustive debate On the

more industrious than the House, and has disposed
of the mass of the business before it. The treaty
should not be hung up for final action next winter.
1t should be discussed In open session and re-
jected. The Administration having persisted in ne
gotating it in defiance Of the advice of the Senate
