"DAS RHEINGOLD.'

The prologue to Wagner's Nibelung tragedy has
never enjoyed great popularity in New-fork lof any
where else for that matter, if the popularity OF the
other dramas OF the series be accepted a. standard)
and it was therefore not surprising that that cir
cumstance combined with the observance VI Lent
should have brought it about that the audience which
witnessed it, representation at the Metropolitan last
night was not as numerous as the audiences OF lne
other first nights Of the Wagnerian list 1t was

and empty stalls to be seen phenomena that nave
seldom been observable since the advent Of Herr
YOGI and the WaCncriation OF the repertOry.
The representation decidedly crude in some OF
its features notably in the stage management, but in
addition to the always delightful singing OF Mr.
Fischer a. Woan, there two representations which

The introduction of a bill by Speaker Hustled
for the preservation of the AdirondackS IS a
welcome indication that the facts arguments
and appeals presented to public attention in
recent years have not been wasted. 1t IS to
be hoped that this important propoS~. VIII not
be pushed as party measure IN Such manner
as to diSsuade single Democratic LEGISLATOR
who comprchends the disastrous folly OF IN
difference to the destruction OF so Splendid
natural endowment from supporting 1t with
all his heart and soul. This Is matter INTO
which partiSanShip has no right to intrude.
There is no citizen of the state who IS not pro-
foundry interested in the rescue of the Adlron-
dacks. The most aggressive of the spoilers

moro precious than the temporary advantage
which he is pursuing.
The Speakers bill provides for the appoint
ment of commission empowered to create an
Adirondack Park consisting of such lands as
the State now owns and such additional terri
tory as may be acquired by purchase and eN-
change. Without fuller knowledge OF Whab
this measure would accomplish or permit than
will be accessible in advance of thorough OK
PLANTATION and discussion we arc not ready to
accept it as altogether adequate and perfect :;
but the main purpose at which it aims is OF the
utmost significance and value. Debate may
disclose the need Of amendments, but there Is
Good reason to hope that il may prove to con-
tain the essential elements of a wise and com
prcbonsivc scheme of reclamation and prcServa-
lion. Various plans for accomplishing this OBJ

if also by the same action the cost of additional
work upon the Capitol and upon aSyIumS'
armories and normal schools is reduced.
Furthermore, there are canal bills IN sight
upon which the Legislature can exercise an
economical spirit without any reference to the
"ThIcc- Dollar-a-D Day Law" We refer to the
acts making appropriations for canal bridges
and similar canal measures rs Is shown IN an

Treasury the sum of $4,000. They have
rapidly increased during Governor Hills adj

the astonishing sum of G277GS-and the state
also had TO cXpend Ss0l 600 in operating and

COMPULSORY PILOTAGE Dues.

Among the measures now being considered
by Congress looking TO the relief Of American
shipping there is one, presented by Mr. Ding
ley which contains a convincing balance Of
logic and Justice and which ought 10 be enact
ed II deals with the system, not far removed
from blackmail by which Saing-ycsSoIs en-
gagged in the cOastwiSc trade are compelled to
pay State pilots for services not needed, nor
asked, nor performed. Upon another page Il
letter is printed wherein the facts relating 70
this system are set forth. We cannot see how
they admit OF any answer. The jurisdiction o!
Congress over this question i, undoubtod. I'm
eXemptng steam vessels from these compulsory
pilOtage dues Congress has already taken an
action precisely similar to that asked now III
behalf Of the sailing fleet The same areu-
ments that moved it then apply with equal force
now There was Il time, possibly, when the
States were justified in insisting that their
pilots should be employed but that time has
long since gone. In all but few OF the South
ern States this fact has been recognized in the
repeal of the compulsory laws, and in those
where such laws remain their only effect is to
Cypress shipping for the benefit OF men who 90
not perform so much As tenth Of the work
for which they are paid
Our correspondent is right in saying that the
only ground upon which a compulsory pilot
age law can be justified is that of necessity.
That it is not necessary is proved by the fact
that the pilots are not employed. Sailing
masters have no use for them. because III the
first place, they know the ground thoroughly
themselves, and in the second, because loc9l
tugboatS supply the place once taken by the
pilots 1t is generally the case that the pilots
receive more money for doing nothing than is
demanded by the tugboat for doing the whole
work in and out. The State of Newly DIRK and
all the other Northern States where the com
pulsory system once prevailed have voluntarily
abandoned it, and there is every reason in
common sense and justice why those in which

4 curious defect in the laws governing cleo
tons in this city has just been discovered. IT
is that while the Police Commissioners have
the power TO divide election districts in order
to provide enough poIing-placeS for all voters
to deposit their ballots without undue haste,
they have no power TO consolidate districts in
which for any reason the number of voters has
been greatly reduced. 1t appears that there
are ten districts in each of which at the last
election less than $50 votes were pOlled. To
maintain the machinery of ten districts where
three or four would be sufficient is plainly a
useless expense.
