BOUL1NGER'S DISGRACE.

General Boulanger at the height Of his for
tunes resembled rocket so suddenly had he
shot from obscurity into flaming glory in the
French sky. There was a dazzling shower of
stars, and then the fires of his military reputa-
ton quickly paled; and like the spent rocket
stick he has at last fallen TO the ground with
a smell of burnt powder. His dismissal from
the active army marks the collapse of his
political as we'll as military hopes. He is de-
pliyed Of the command of an army corps Tor
three distinct breaches Of discipline in visiting
Paris without permission from the war once.
These offences will not be condoned by the
army. whose hero he once was; and with mill
tary opinion arrayed against him on account
OF his fragrant acts Of disObcdience, General
BouIangcr becomes spent force in politics.
He NAV he welcomed to Paris by shouts from
excited tbrongs of admirers, but with all sober
minded Frenchmcn his reputation ought'to be
fatally compromised by conduct unworthy OF
soldier II was as War Minister that he won
his fame; and that office will be closed here
after against q soldier who in defiance OF au-
thority and discipline was masqueradlng ID
disguise in the streets Of Paris and resorting
10 the lowest arts OF a political intrlguer.
The reputation of General Boulanger for
yeracity was shattered several years ago. When
he denied that his promotion to generaishlp
was due to the patronage Of the Duke OF
Aumale. proof Of the accusation was furnished
over his own signature, grateful letter of ac-
acknowledgement being produced by Royalist
Deputies. When he went step further and
questioned the authenticity Of the letter, he
was confronted with evidence that convicted
him of wilful mcndacity. Consequently, when
in this instance he attempts to discrcdt the
motives of the War Office in depriylng him OF
his command and denies having visited Paris

Mr.. W. r. Grace as an element Of political

beautifully less as the days draw along and
the harvest time approaches. His efforts 10

one of his droll "Citizcns' Committees" have

whelmingly defeated in the annual election on
Thursday night, despite all he has been doing
recently TO get the club into his hands, MIR.
Grace doesn't seem TO be getting along as well
this year with his Citizens as he has done In
the past. Time was when he could start out
his emissaries and scare up quite respectable
crowd of Citizens on twenty-for hours notice,
every one Of whom was ready to renounce his
allegiance to hall and party. and take out Grace
naturalization papers and the oath Of allegiance
to the Car of Hanover Square. But his hand
has evidently lost some Of its cunning.
On the whole. the City Of New-Yor' has riscn
from its snowy burial as quickly and in quite
as good form as could be expected. If 1T were
possible to calculate the loss public and prl-
vate. which the blizzard inflicted. the figures
would be exceedingly interesting. Some idea
Of their startling amount can be formed from
the fact that the city has paid out $4,000
day simply for the labor employed in shoveiling
mp and carting of the snow. Twice that much
has undoubtedly been paid by the street-car
companies, upon whom the storm fell with
severe effect. Foot passengers have, Of course
been put to great Inconvenience and risk by
the condition of the streets. but IL is only fair
TO say that Commissioner Coleman's efforts TO
perform his especially onerous duty have been
sincere and that he has succeeded in accom-
plishng great deal-not all that could be
wished but much more than might have been
reasonably feared. He appreciated his respon-
sbity and went sturdy to work. The only
wonder is how 20 much can still remain when
so very much has been carted away.

I.TDWIG BARNAY.

On Thursday evening, at the Academy OF Mnsic, n
numerous and sympathetic audience greeted Mr.
Barnay on his return to the American stage. Mr.
Barnay Is not a stranger His noble presence, his
picturesque demeanor, his natural method OF I'M
personaton, his uncommon compass and sklful use
OF voice. his impressive force and his suitability for
characters Of the romantic the statuesquo and
dcclamatory kind made known here some time
ago. and his with considerable class OF the
play going public duly recognized and recorded
lie gained many admirers and friends the occasion
Of his former visit to NewYork and the welcome that
hailed his remittance amply expressive of their
cordial good will. Upon his first entrance the ap-
plause was loud and eager and 1t lasted for long
me and at the end of each act he was two or three
times recalled before his audience. The favorte OF
former seasons IS favorlte still.
Mr. Barnay made his remittance In the character
of Edmund Kean,' I'm German version OF a drama
relative to the great English actor, which was some
time ago conspcuousy presented here, in Italian, by
Rossl There may, perhaps, be greater bore extant
than this play becomes In the German language, but
IL there IS, storm signals should be ordered at any
mention Of its name. Its hero several times
designated "a 4" the grocer Kean"-and this IS pre-
clscly what no seemed to be. OF Edmund kean as he
appears In his portraits and his biographies there was
not the least suggestion The Ideal OF that domoniac
and erratic genns which II has pleased tho dramatfst
to form, and which Mr.. Barnay certainly embodied
with pulous accuracy, Is something Is safe TO
say. that Edmund Kean himself would have destroyed

THAT SCRAP or PAPER.

There must be q better explanation OF the
adventures Of Mr.. HadIey's scrap Of paper. or
Governor Hill will be left in very cmbarrass-
ing position. The difficulty with Mr.. Shcchan's
explanation is that it does not explain II does
not make it clear why Mr.. Hadley's question,
even il the story as TO its being dropped in the
notary clerks room be true, should have been
returned to him in a manner implying an insult
or threat, or both. Mr.. Hadley wrote the
question for submission to the chairman Of the
committee investigating Governor HliPs ex-
travagances, as members OF investigating COM
mittccs frequently do, and Mr.. Hamilton, the
chairman. thinks he threw it down after using
it. which was an entirely natural thing to do.
The theory that it was picked up by one OF the
Governors emissanes, some of whom undouht-
edly keep close watch of the Investigation,
carried to the Executive Chamber and thence
returned to Mr.. Hadley stamped with the Gov
crnor's seal and in an executive envelope, Is
inherently far more probable than that Mr..
IIadey should have received it back. carried
il at some subsequent time into the notary
clerks room. and there dropped it OPPORTUNITY,
10 be opportunely seen in the act by Others who
did not, however. so opportuncly return it TO
him.
No explanation has been offered Of the ex-
ecutve stamp upon the scrap Of paper. and the
other peculiar features Of its return. Either
Governor Hill has been guilty of an attempt
to insult and intmidatc a member OF the As
sembly, in which case he has insulted the whole
body, or he has singularly indscrcct and
ofIicous person among his subordinates, who
needs correction. 1t is unfortunate for the
Governor that he should have vetoed bills Of
Mr. IIadlev precisely similar to others which
have been signed. Let us have the explana-
ton, please or we shall conclude that there Is
little left even Of peanut politics but the shell
