The enthusiasm of those persons who con-
tend that the polite drama is a positive force
for good in the community, and are willing to
make no exceptions, will experience a backset
in the story telegraphed from Cincinnati about
the young mechanic who killed his wife as the
result of witnessing play recently performed
in that city. The influence of the drama is a
great deal like the influence of female society:
IT may be good or it may be bad. In either
event it is powerful, but nobody ought to as
sign to it in general way a positive moral
character. The play which impelled this man
to kill his wife is Of a grade which would
usually be considered high; that is. it was
written for and attracted to its representa-
tons, the most intelligent members of the
theater-going element in every city where it
has been given. But what is calculated merely
to arouse the interest and stir the emotions for
passing hour among one class of persons.
may be poison to the minds of another class.
1t is open to serious question whether the use
fulness of the stage. in this era of fast living
and extreme nervous tension. is not mostly
limited TO the presentation of comedy, which
serves d relief to spirits borne down under
heavy enough load of the tragic experiences
of real life, instead of drawing upon the i'm
agination for fresh supply.

The military evidence tending to relieve Major
Lydecker from responsibility tor the rotten tun-
mel suggests the frightful possibility that the
United States may intend to saddle the entire
responsibility and punishment upon the Dis
triet Of Columbia. To be sure the District has
had no connection whatever with the attempt
10 construct a tunnel Notwithstanding this
fact it has been held to share the penalties of
wrong-dolng and negligence with sub-con-
tractors, contractors, inspectors. engineer Off
GERS, and the United States II il can be fined
a million dOlla:' and half the expense of
Congressional investigation for the misconduct
OF others, not its agents, then by the same logic
the entire blame and punishment NAV be
dumped upon it. The natural ending of the
tunnel court-martial would perhaps be the ac-
quittal of Major Lydecker and a finding that
the District Of Columbia has been guilty. to
say the least, of conduct unbecoming a gentle
man.

The Senate having finished its work for the
present and gone home, the President may
hope 10 get little rest. Not that the Senators
were themselves especially importunate in
their quests for patronage, but the sense which
weighed upon him that he was keeping a body
of statesmen in session for the mere purpose of
passing upon his nominations must have made
MIR. Harrison push business at a high rate of
speed. There is no part of a chief magistrate
duties which is more exacting in its demands
upon his time and attention than that of filling
the principal representative offices when he
first enters the White House. However well
he may know the public men of the country,
and however methodical may be his habits of
work, he cannot help being more or less
hurried by the pressure suddenly brought to
bear upon him from new and unexpected
quarters, and by the discovery that persons
whom he had never seen or heard of have
claims, aspirations. and backing which he can
not afford entirely to ignore.
Now that he Is released from the apparent
necessity of grinding out daily grlst of nomi-
nations in order to keep the gentlemen at the
capitol busy. the President will have time to
look about him and examine well the records
of persons he will be called upon to appoint
during the recess.

The President ia credited With two DECLARE.

The President is credited with two declara-
lions in respect to the appointment of Commits
sioners FOR the District. The first is, that the
present Commissioners are to be displaced:
and the second, that he will devote to the con-
alteration of the subject the time and personal
attention necessary to secure honest, capable
and thoroughly satisfactory men to serve as
their successors. In view of the record of the
District government a Cleveland partisan
machine under the administration of the
present civilian Commissioners. local repub-
hcans have never expected anything else
than the first of these two decisions;
and in view of their vacillating,
inefficient, selfish, section-favoring, and corpo-
ration-controlled policy IN respect to matters
outside Of politics, nine-tenths of the community
will heartily applaud the announcement that
their reign is nearly at an end. The same ap-
proyal will meet the declaration that care is to
be taken in selecting their successors. Even
those who are most impatient of delay which
leaves the local Cleveland machine in full opera
ton, and permits important affairs of the Dis
trict to be conducted by inefficient hands, will
surely not begrudge the President the few days
of consideration which the welfare OF the Dis
trict demands, and which the pressure of
weightier matters has hitherto denied him.
When the time comes in which undivided at
tention can be given to the subject, decision
may be quickly reached. There are scores of
honest, intelligent, and able men, thoroughly
identified with District interests the spirit of
the law wisely requires, from whom the Presi-
dent can safely select

Gen. Boulanger is nothing if not melodra-
matte. When he masqueraded in green specta-
cles everyone said: 1T is Boulanger," and
felt no surprise. Now that he has disappeared,
in order to avoid falling into the hands of his
prosecutors. everybody says again, 1T is Bou-
LANCER" and confidently looks for him to turn
up promptly when a spectacular end can be
accomplished by his sudden restoration to his
old place in the full popular view. Boulanger's
greatness thus far has rested chiefly on his
ability to make himself seem to be the worst
prosecuted public man in France. He is not
like Lawyer NEEDLE in the play. who goes
around begging somebody to kick him in the
presence OF witnesses 50 that he may have the
basis of suit for damages: the general simply
puts on DISCUSSES, and performs the vanishing
act and otherwise takes it for granted that
somebody is just about 10 do something to him.
1t is a much more ingenious method than
NEEDLES. for it excites the sympathy Of the
unthinking throng instead Of making him
ridiculous and contemplate.
