EXPLAINING LAST TUESDAY.

EIPI1INING LdOI ICEpDHi'
Having so far recovered their oied'h dS ~
be able to articulate, the Democratic news
napers of this State are now engaged IN the
molrnful work OF explaining the Repuohcah
victories of last Tuesday. As their news col
umns have been obliged to testify the spring
elections in New-York prove conclusivey that
something ails the Democracy. An onlclai
diagnosis has not yet been made, but IN the
| meantime the country doctors are cautiously eX-
messing their individual opinions OF the case
From various sources We learn that the new
Rallot law didn't work satisfactorily; that there
is great deal of spring cleaning to be done
! that the weather was dismal that there were
M issuos nj stake and no stakes at issue that,
tbc Republican party having been killed last
| Noyombor il would have been indecent to Jump
| ON tho corpse: that the attendance OF rural
statesmen at Albany left the party at home
,i+hou4 leaders. and that the Democratic re-
Verses don't amount to anything anyway.
All these explanations are interesting ana
important. as showing the unhappy state IN
which the necessity of saying something mas

oracular voice of David B. Hill. lie has been

| formulation Of 4 theory to account Tor the en-
| nhatic rcbuke which somebody or something has
certainly received. He ought not to be TOO slow
abOnt Il. for if he otcrS others may anticipate

emerge with the explanation that reSpectahio
Democrats are disguised at the SeiShncSS and
| bad faith of the Junior Senator from Ncw-l ork.

suggest that the Chief Magistrate of the state
ought not to be the acknowledged legislative
agent of the liquor league. Or Democratic
newspapers may rciteratc their conviction tha'
the Governor has diSgraced all New-lork aN
well as himself by offering safe refuge to
Connecticut criminals.
ANY one of these explanations would tend to
make Mr.. Hill still more uncomfortable than ne
now is. and therefore he ought TO lose no time
in furnishing an official statement ot the causes
which led TO Democratic slaughter all along
the line. Possibly he may determine 70 shift
personal responsibility by admitting that the
pcop}e are fast discovering that they were out
rarcously deceived last fall and that Rcpub-
lican policy and action are bearing their leRlu-
mate fruit. In that case we shall be wiling 10

and that this theory and the others TO which we
have referred are, taken together, sufficient TO
account for last Tuesdays emphatic verdict.

MP SEIDL IN BROOKLYN.

II there were any doubts in the minds OF music

by the tenth Of the concerts which the society has
given this season under the direction OF Mr.. Seld

unusually responsive and artistic mood, Mr. seO con-

and that masterful and magnetic sway which in-
presses the critical observer so profoundly at the opera
when work is performing which appeals TO his tem-
perament and his heart the singers threw their souls
into their work. and the programme was for the greater
part made up Of music that is inscribed on the golden
pages of operate history. There was but
single number which may be said to have
been included in the evenings entertainment for
the sake Of diversion. and that number, LISTS
twelfth hungarian Rhapsody was played with such
freedom elasticity and abandon, such nice apprecia

disturb the higher enjoyment which the other selec'
tons brought. Where all did well it seems nvldiouS

The ten concerts Of the society have been phenom'

spirit of Brooklyn and opened era in its muSi-

gratitude. They have also demonstrated most strk-
ingly the capacity of women TO labor in larger ana
nobei fields than ordinarily occupy their attention IN
the department of art. The programmes have been
mixed in character. but they have all had purpose

The Coroners jury who have investigated the
tunnel accident have gone into the case thor
oughly, and have done their duty untlinchingly
in finding their verdict. They hold the New
York, New-H Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
papy, its officers and directors, directly respon-
sibe for the death of the persons who periShed
in the tunnel and warrants for their arrest
will be issued to-day. As most of them live in
Connecticut, they are seemingly safe for the
present, since David b. Hill will not call on
Governor Bulkeley to surrender them, but will
send his requsiton to Judge Morris, who says
that he has no power to act in such a case

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The fact that Governor Hill vetoed the Com
pusory Education bill which passed the LegiS-
lature two years ago warrants the belief that
the measure which was introduced on Wednes-
day does not stand much chance of becoming a
law. Still the friends of compulsory education
must hope for the best and rally TO the support
Of the new act. II is understood that Professor
Collins the Governors confidential adviser on
legislation, had hand at drafting it, If this
be so, then it should follow that the bill in its
present shape does not contain the provisions
which rendered the bill of 1889 so obnoxious
to the Governor that he vetoed it. The bill of
1889 encountered the vigorous opposition of a
number of persons representing the private
school interest of the State. 1t was contended
that it would unjustly interfere with those
schools by subjecting them TO the inspection of
public officers The new bill however, provides
that all private as well all public schools are
to keep registers Of attendance, which arc to
be open to public inspectors at all reasonable
times.
1t is certainly to be hoped that a good sensible
bill of some sort will be passed at the present
session. For many years the Superintendent OF
Public Instruction has reported state Of things
to the Legislature which ateSts the need of "A
Compulsory Education law TO Superscdc the dead
letter which now encumbers the statute books.
Iliteracy is growing in New-I Iork-that is the
plain truth, and to state it is to demonstrate
that our lawmakers ought either to pass the bill
just introduced or a better one II is exceed
ingly doubtful il a measure can be framed which
will quito meet the views Of all the educators
OF our State. But it ought to be easy to pass

by the representatives of the Excise reform
Association. the Church Temperance society

measure except in the Assembly. Fortunately
