CARNEY IN HARLEN.

Mr.. IIammersteins courage and zeal in behalf OF
opera in English brought forth admirable fruit last
night in the form Of representation OF Bizets
" Carmen" which in spite of numerous crudenesses
had enough merit invite sincere and hearty praise
The bulk Of this praise must to the musical features
OF the performance. Miss Walker who sang the role
of Mcaela; in o lesser degree Miss Meslinger, who
sang well as Carmen. but could not present fascinating
picture OF the gypsy to the mind because OF her
atrocous pronunciation; Signor MOntearifo, who, in
spite Of his vocal pecullarities, which are not amlabe
can at least hold up his end in an ensemble and make
q good show Of passion; Mr.. ". II. Clark, who was
called on Unexpectedly to sing the part Of Escamillo
because Of Signor Taglapiera sudden refusal to sing
nearly all the singers in the smaller roles sang
we'll that from purely musical point Of view they
needed not to shun comparison with many more
ambitious performers In this city. The same might
be said of the reading OF the work on the part Of Mr.
Hinrichs In fact It needed little to make the repre-
sentat!On in all respects admirable was certainly
Mr.. HammersteIn's finest achievement.

WEEKLY PAYMENTS.

Twice already the courts of the State have
passed upon the question of the meaning OF the
law enacted by the last Legislature requiring
the payment to workingmen weekly OF the
amount of wages due them. The wording of
the law was not explicit in all respects Among
other things it provided for the weekly pay
ment of tho employees of municipal corpora
tons" This was not unnaturally considered
to apply to all city employees. In some cities
of the State the legal advisers construed the
law in that way, and arrangements for the
weekly instead of the monthly payment of all
salaries were at once made. Corporation Coun-
sci Clark of this city, did not take this view,
but some time ago test case was arranged Tor,
and early in the present month Justice An
drews, of the Supreme Court, rendered de-
cision, in which he held that the law only ap-
piled to laborers employed by the city, and
was not intended to cover the case OF men
receiving yearly salaries In fact, he drew a
broad line of demarcation between "wages"
and salaries"
Last week the General Term of the Supreme
Court in Buffalo passed upon similar case
and reached substantially the same conclusion.
In this case the opinion was written by JUS
both of his associates. The intention of the
Legislature, rather than the precise language
of the statute, which was designed, it is stated,
to promote the welfare of labOrers and work.
men, appears to have received the special at
tention of the court. In saying that there is
no reason why license clerk in Buffalo. or a
public school teacher or policeman or fire
man, should be paid in other than the GUS
tomary way, Justice Macomber remarks " Not
one of these persons represents class asking
for legislation in its behalf. 1t would, there
fore, be extending the statute beyond what
appears to us to be the obvious meaning OF the
Legislature in passing it to apply 1t so as to
cover the cases of those persons"
Probably the matter will not be allowed to
rest until the Court of Appeals has had an OPP
pOrtunty to determine the meaning of the law
which has occasiOned so much discussion but
since one of the General Terms of the Supreme
Court has construed it, it would appear to be
the duty of city officials to act in accordance
with the decision delivered in Buffalo. In one
case at least corporation counsel declared
that the decision Of Justice Andrews had no
binding effect upon him, and that he would
stick to his own Interpretation Of the statute.
Will he continue to exalt his own opinion
above that OF Justice Macomber and two other
learned Judges sitting with him in General

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES.

Mr.. Gladstone has reserved for Dundee his
promised speech on the American tariff. That
he has made an unfortunate choice, either OF
audience or argument, we shall find no diff
Guilty in pointing out. Dundee has had for
century almost a complete monopoly OF the
manufacture of jute goods. This is its most
important industry. and the one which is most
directly affected by the passage OF the Nc
Kinley bill 1t is not affected, however, in the
way Mr. Gladstone represents in his speech.
lie states that the first effect of the Mckinley
Act will be to raise the standard of prices in
the United States, and that this will involve
diminished power of expectation. lie seeks to
console Dundee manufacturers in this way for
the loss of the American market. That is only
one of twenty markets, he assures them and
increased prices there will give England more
complete control over the other nineteen. We
apprehend that the jute manufacturers were
somewhat abashed by Mr.. GladstOne's ignO-
rance of the precise application of the Nc
Kiney tariff to their trade.
What that Tariff Act has done with refer
ence to this industry is to put the raw ma
erial on the free list. Under the old tariff
ute was taxed 90 per cent; jute butts So
per ton. These duties did not protect any
American industry since the raw material for
ute goods comes almost exclusively from In
da. The Dundee manufacturers were pro-
tected by the duties under the old law for
their American rivals could not compete with
them when compelled to pay 20 per cent on
the crude material. The present Congress has
removed these unnecessary and mischievous
duties. With free raw material the American
manufacturers are now on a level with the
Dundee producers, and the moderate duties on
manufactured goods retained for their protec-
ton are now rendered effective. The mmedi-
ate result will be the development of Ameri-
can jute manufactures For the first time these
home manufacturers are able to undersell Dun
dee here.
Mr.. GladstOne's logic must have seemed
strained and artificial to those canny Scotch
manufacturers of jute. Instead of raising the
price of jute manufactures in the United States
the Mckinley bill has reduced the rates for
all classes of goods by making the law ma
tcrial free, and enabling the home manufact-
urers to compete here and in other markets in
the most destructive way with Dundee MIR.
Gladstone does not seem to know where the

TIMMANY IND DIRTY STREETS.

The allowance given to the Department OF
Street Cleaning last year was S1,2oo'sSo.
What return did NEWCOMERS receive Tor this
enormous outlay of their money? Precious
little. By far the greater part OF the streets
have been dirty most of the time; some OF
them have been positively filthy; still others
have been cleaned only Mt private expense, ex-
oerience having taught those living upon them
that it Is useless to expect Tammany street
cleaning officials to come to their relief. Mayor
Grant. Of course might have done very much
to reform this crying evil il he had been q
oompetent and trustworthy head VI our city
government anxious to give Ncw-lork the
clean streets to which she is entitled. But by
debating the appointment OF such person as
Eddie" Hagah as Deputy Street Cleaning
Commissioner and naming Hans Beattie to
succeed Horace Loomis, he proved to the salts
faction of intelligent New Workers that he took
small interest in clean streets. Ills record
conyicts him of aiming to have the Department
OF Street Cleaning run and the vast appropria-
tons for it's maintenance spent, not for the
purpose of securing clean streets, but for pol
tics" for the benefit Of Tammany Hall.
1t appears that the STRENGTHENING appro-
priation for next year is likely to be larger
by S125, 600 than the one of last year
$4,000 larger than 81 ,955,s35. Would it
not be monumental folly to intrust the men
and the party that are directly responsible for
New-York dirty streets with the disbursement
of this sum? The only way of judging the
future is by the past. and applying that rule we
may be sure that if Mayor Grant is reelected
our streets will continue to be disgrace to our
civilization, and that Tammany will pocket
something like a million and half dollars
for keeping them so.

A DEATH BLOW 10 PANAMA..

Dark days seem to be in store for the lsthmus
of Panama. Since the suspension of operations
on the interOceanic canal it has been crowded
with shiftless and unemployed foreign pop
ulatiOn who have fingered there at great risk
from the deadly climate in the vain hope of
summons to resume work. The fire which
swept the better part of Colon out of existence
a few weeks ago greatly increased the general
suffering and restitution. Business on the
Atlantic side has been practically abolished and
commerce paralyzed throughout the entire strip
of country occupied by the Canal Company and
tho Panama Railroad. The railroad has gen.
erously returned to their homes at its own en-
pense its former employees who lacked the
means to pay for their passage, and the French
Consul has promised to restore needy French
men to their own country. The Panama Gov
eminent has made feeble effort to relieve
cases of immediate distress, but the official
exchequer is low, and pathetic appeals to the
various West India Islands, natives Of which
have abounded in Panama for years, had at
last advices failed to elicit response. Any
body who has slept at a Colon hotel with the
bulfrogs piping midnight chorus in fetid
swamp Immediately under his bedroom floor
will not be inclined to regard the fire as an
unmixed evil. Preston's burning of the town
in 1885. it was believed, avcrted pestilence,
but Colon had again reverted to its old con-
ditiOns and became hotbed of malignant dis
temper.
Since the fire the rebuilding of the town has
formed another of the contingent advantages
which deluded fortune seekers have fattered
themselves would follow the success of Lieu
tenant Wyse's application for a prolongation
of the Government concession to the Canal
Company. This hope is now destroyed by the
practical refusal Of the Government to aocede
to Mr.. Wyses terms. There will probably re-
suit q general evacuation of the Isthmus and
. permanent return Of the commercial de-
preston which followed the opening OF the
overland route to California. Even the sub
sdixed organs which insist that the promises
of Panama stock infaters are genuine advise
foreigners not to waste time on the lsthmus, but
to await M. de Lesseps's vindidation In more
temperate and healthful olimo. This advice
those who can beg or pay for their passage
viii probably accept without demur. end ~
