MR.. PALMER GETS THE GONDOLIERS'
NEGOTIATIONS CLOSED FOR THE PRODUCTION

NEGOTI ATOMS CLOSED FOR THE PRODUCTION
OF GILBERT AND sULLIvAN's NEW OPERA.
The much debated question as to which of the
New-York managers shall have the right to produce
Gilbert and Sullivan's latest Savoy success, The
Gondolers" is at last decisivey and satisfactorily
settled. A. VI. Palmer last night informed the re
porters of several New York newspapers that he had
bought from D'Oyly Carte the ssOle right OF pro
duction in this city. and should undertake the task
Of putting The GOndoers' before the New-York
public
"The negotiations, which have been in progress
for some time, are now complete" said Mr.. Palmer,
and / expect to produce the opera at one or other
Of the leading theatres some time between January
3 and 6. The opera will be acted by English
company which has been thoroughly rehearsed in Lon
don by the authors. The principals and chorus, num-
bering sxty-two will leave Liverpool on Saturday
probably by one of the Cunard liners. The cast is
said by Gilbert and Sullivan to Of the best they
ever sent over contains the of such well
known and popular people as LeOnora Braham, the
prma donna; George Thorne and Fred Ellington.
Richard Barker who is already in NewYork, will again
stagemanage the production
.Will the Savoy management send over their own
scenery
"No7 replied Mr.. Palmer, the scenery is being
painted in this city by English artist Mr.. Danger
field. may also say that, although
the orchestra will be local, the opera will be
conducted by musician, whose name now forget,
but who enjoys high reputation on the other side.
AT which New-York theatre will 'Thc Condo
liers' be seen?'
Il cannot tell that Just now,7 said lr. Palmer, but
If the opera is it will be quickly transferred
TO Palmer's Theatre, there to remain during the
spring, CT even longer. L may tell you that, from
ali l have heard of Tho Gondoers, expect it to
big success. 'The Mikado ran for twenty lve
weeks and have every hope of beating that record
My rights in the production Of course extend only to
the limits of New. York City East Of Pittsburg
John StetsOn owns the opera, while Henderson and
Hayman will run it through the West, and II WHY
be produced at one time in New-lorh, Chicago and
Boston,
Although Mr. Palmer could not positively say
where he would produce The GondOlers' it Is pretty
safe to assume from the teLor Of his remarks that

NOW FOR THE Trial OF FLACK,

The avowed reason for the long delay IN

illness of an important witness for the deience'
This concession on the part of the District
Attorney was customary and proper, and there
has been as little Justice in harsh criticism OF
his action as in the assumption that the SICK

Mcneil has been summoned before higher tri-
bunal. and there is no further occasion Tor
postponement of a case in which ne can never

reasons for an immediatC. and strenuous prose-
cution of Sheriff Flack. lie has been indicted
for an odious offence, upon evidence so strong
as to make his most devoted adherents anxious
and to convince the shrewd leaders OF Tammany
Hall that his expulsion was a political necessity.
There is no public official not even excepting
the Judges of our courts, whose integrity IS
more essential to the welfare OF the community
than that of the Sheriff. To the criminal class
he represents more visibly than any other the
purpose and power of the law, and 1t depends
in no slight degree upon his reputation ana
conduct whether the law appears to their eyes
as the embodiment of justice or OF persecution
The people have right to know, ana they
earnestly desire to know, whether the Sheriff
of this county is the victim of false appearances
and complicated perjury, or did, in reality
enter into vile conspiracy to evade the stat
utes which stood between a deeply wronged
woman and the complete qualification OF his
selfish passions. He will suffer no hardship
from an immediate summons to defend himself.
For weeks past MIR. Flack has known that
L.. Io1 o,,1 in
sequence has had abundant opportunity to
adopt whatever new measures the lack OF his
testimony might render necessary. Any pre-
tence that the removal of this witness entities
him to further delay will be justly regarded as a
subterfuge. 1t is the duty of the District-At-
torney to proceed at once with the utmost vigor'
and, if possible, to help his own reputation by
an nwonted exhibition of qualities which in
former times have made the administration OF
his Office terror to evil-doers.
New-York tribune., 1889-12-18

The President has wisely recommended to
Congress an extension of time for the Interna-
tional Marine Conference, whose sessions will
terminate on January 1 unless some action to
pioong them is taken meantime. AS the work
of the Conference will not be completed by that
time, it is obviously to the interest of all the
nations concerned that the deliberations should
be further continued. The Conference may
not accomplish all that was hoped for when
il was called but it should have the fullest
opportunity of providing means for increased
safety on the ocean.

,bat they were warranted in trusting the Or
canization to whose fortunes he is attached.
Take New York. Is the attitude of the De
mocracy of this great State upon the public
ouestions which are now at the forefront OF
discussion calculated to make Democrats oil
voung New Yorkers? Far from it, They see
that the official head Of the party in New ork
is little more than an unscrupulous wire-puller,
who steadily subordnates the public good to
partisan advantage. They see that temperance
reform has no more bitter and relentless foe
than the Democracy. They see that the only
reason why NewYork has not led all her sister
Commonwealths in providing for an improved
system Of voting is because Democratic Sem
ators and Assemblymen fought the reform in
the Legislature and a Democratic Governor
killed it with his veto. They see that the Dem
ocratic caucus and the Democratic convention
are no more truly representative than they were
quarter of century ago, being still run by
the bosses. They see that the Democratic party
leaders who control nominations instead Of Sc
lectng men of character and efficiency for can
didates do not hesitate TO place on State ticket
men who have shown themselves unworthy of
the public confidence. 1t is folly to hold that
such party appeals to enterprisng and
thoughtful young men,"
The fact that this letter Of Mr.. Cleveland was
addressed to tariff REFORM club suggests
that in his opinion the Democracy's tariff policy
which in the last analysis is free trade, is cal
culated to take with yourg men. Well it may
be admitted that hundreds of young men leave
college every year imbued with free trade ideas
But they do not all remain Free Traders. Very
many of them just as soon as they are confronted
with condition and not theory become Pro-
tectionsts. As for the rest, what Is it that they
find to admire in the Democracy except free
trade? Free Trade is but one thing and all
things considered, they must, as many of them
as are in the best sense enterprising and
thoughtful" repudate the organization. For
it is an organization which has been wrong, not
only in New York, but at Washington and the
country over, upon all the great issues of the
last quarter of century, and which has got
on only as it has said ditto to the Republicans.
Young men who join the Democracy to-day do
so, not because, but in spite of its record and
it's tendency

YOUNG MEN IND rHE DEMOCRACY

YOUNG MEN And THE DEMOCRACY.
Mr.. Cleveland has been writing letter to the
Young Mems Democratic Club of Canton. Ohio.
In the body of it we find this paragraph:
The constantly growing Interest manifested by our
young in the principles of the Democratic party
constitutes in my opinion the most reliable hone OF
their ascendency II at any time in tine past It has
with any truth been said that our party did not invite
TO its standard the encrprsing and thoughtful young
Of the country, today such an allegation shall be
disputed. And these men, keenly alive to their
countiys welfare quick TO discover the needs OF the
present, and reared I'm the freedom Of untrammeed
thought follow In the pathway of good citizenship,
can be safely trusted with political responsibilities
Are these words of the ex-President con-
ceived in truth and soberneSs? Is it fact that
the young men of this country are exhibiting
"a constantly growing interest," in the Demo
cratic party? We believe that Mr.. Cleveland
is mistaken. The Democracy Of the past, as he
practically admits did not invite " enterprisng
and thoughtful young men" to its standard !;
and since the present and the future Of parties
as of individuals largely depend upon acquired
character, il would be strange indeed If the
level-headed young men Of to-day should feel

Mayor Grant has taken the first step in the
direction of reorganizing the Dock Department
on a Tammany basis. The animus OF the en-
tire investigation is shown Enthusiastically in the
fact that charges are preferred only against the
County Democrats in the Dock Board, Messrs
Post and Matthews. Commissioner Cram was
appointed by Mr. Grant himself. That 1T was
tactical mistake not to include Mr.. Cram in
the arraignment will soon be apparent to the
Mayor, if it is not already. Excepting him
from the charges on which the two other Com
mssoners are summoned to render an account
of themselves really "gives the thing away"
too boldly. The charges of culpable neglect
and malfeasance, of failure to enforce the law
and of failure to acquaint themselves with
their duties, ETC., are based on the evidence
taken in the recent investigation, and the
Commissioners are ordered to show cause to-
morrow why they should not be removed. 1t
is asserted in their behalf that the investigation
was one-sided, and that they have good de-
fence to offer. If so, they will be glad OF the
opportunity the Mayor has given them to set
themselves right before the public.

PLAYERS themselves are changing the rules Tor
the government of the game. They have abol-
ished some of the old rules in regard to the
pitcher, catcher and umpires and have estab-

men who are actually engaged in the sport
should be the best judges of how to improve
the game, and the result of their changes will
certainly be watched with great interest If the
courts allow them to play under their own
management
