THE GREAT FAIR or THE YEAR

So general and earnest interest has already
been shown in the preparations for the Actors
Fund Fair that the success of the undertaking
is arcady assured. 1t is intended to make this
ono Of the most celebrated and remuneraive
festivals Of the kind that this generation records
and the committees which are now at work in

and are devotng themselves 10 their laoors with
so much practical skill, az to make it clear that

hearts are enlisted in this enterprise. 1hey

assistance Of all Newly Workers, and the people

sum to be brought together in this way, but
the disposition Of the innumcrabc friends of the
stage toward this fair is 70 kindly that a mar

expected, and even the amount Of 100000

THE UUNTCIP1L BUILDING SITE.

THE <HJNICIPdL BCILDIN"
The first feeling awakened by the declson
regarding the site selected for the new muhicpal
building is one of relief and thanllfulnesS IN we"
of the fact that the City Hall Park Is at last
safe from further entertainment for building
purposes The second feeling is one Of sym
pathy with Mr.. Ottendorfer, whose substantial
granite building. which has been the nome OF
the " Staats-Zeturg" for twenty yeals OF more
must be demolished by the march OF improve
ment. But Mr. OttendOrfer is TOO good cI'lzch
TO moan as one without hope because he must
seek new quarters. lie knows that the greatest
good OF the greatest number IL rule OF wide
application, and We doubt if he fails 70 see me
Justice of it when the application becomes per-
sonal one. The "Staats -Zeitung," at all events,
is too well established to suffer by change OF
location. Whether on Tryon Row or elsewhere IT
will continue to stand for sturdy honesty IN
politics and to oppose IIillism and all that word
stands for in the party to which 1t Is attached
For the proposed municipal building the sic
chosen Il probably the best Of those suggested
bv the committee whose report was made on
Thursday 1t will afford room for building spa
cous enough to meet all the demands. More
over, there will be an opportunity for tine archi-
tectural effects. Nothing bearing any likeness
to the monstrus wings to the City Hall which
were seriously contemplated litae time ago
is desired or will be tolerated. Let us have a
handsome structure, that will be credit to the
CITY and source of satisfaction to all It's citizens
The site is an expensive one, but less so than
some of the others proposed, and the city already
owns a part Of it. The commission was prac-
ticaly unanimous in its choice. 1t has taken
long time to reach decision in this matter, but
the decision arrived at will, we believe be ap-
proved by the community at large, though 10
one can expect Mr.. Ottendorfer to be enthusiastic
over it. The City Hall Park has been saved

untiring vigilance in seeing that the projected
building is reared honestly, without thc slightest
faint Of jobbery or crooledness in connection

In sermon the other Sunday distinguished
clergyman of this city declared that modern
Christianity is too much committed TO the idea
that the whole Of It's duty and responsibility is
embraced in taking care Of the wounded in LIES
battle And he thcn proceeded to amplify this
thought by showing that the Church at tho
present time is in danger Of forgetting that 10
prevent evil and suffering is incomparably more
important than to ralliate it. IIc did not de-
preciate what he called the "h0Spi'al work" OF
Christianity: on the contrary, he fully rccog-
nzcd It's value and importance. Bat he cmpla-
sized the idea that the Gospel Of Christ ought 10
be, and is, something far greater and higher
than religious anodyne which may be used as
occasion serves to aSslagc or deadcn the mental
and physical ills Of humanity. Unless it has the
power TO lcgcner1tc human nature, and so elm
inate the causes thar produce evil and sin, it has
no good reason for being.
The point here made is m important one-all
the more 80 because Christians arc so apt n lose
sight Of it in this age Of Vickcncd philanthropic
impulse Many If us have unconSciously como
TO believe that the amelioraiion of pain is tho
great end and aim Of religious philanthropy, and
50 lose sight Of the fact that even pain some
times has its appointed place in the divine econ-
omy of life. And in other cases where ii is due
to wrongs that should be richtcd Cur efforts
should be directed rs much to the Fighting OF
these wrongs as 70 the temporary alienation OF
the pain and suffering caused by them. Here,
for instance, are certain agencies engaged in
saving the children who are being corrupted by
evil associations in the purliouS Of al our large
cities great and cOmmcnd4be work surely,
a work that should enlist the aid and sympathy.
not merely Of all coed Christians, but Of all good
citizens. But after all this work only touches
the fringe Of the evil. Back of It lies the du,y
OF reforming the conditions that make 1t ncccs-
say. And upon the Christian Church even
mere than upon the State, rests thai duty, by
virtue Of lis very constitution. II Is good thing
TO take so many children every year from the
unSpeakablc schools 81 crime in which they are
being trained it is a work that should not be
neglected. But it would be far better to take
some intelligent measures 10 break ZIP tne'o
schools Of crime, and 50 reach the iountan-head
of the difficulty. And what is true OF THIS PROB
lem is just true OF all the other problems with
which modern Christian philanthropy Is 50 deep

is already Of great value will be occupied by i'm

prominent as the Plaza now is at the Fifth-ave
and Fifty-ninth.st. entrance.
The statue is also particularly adapted to this
snot. because it will front the Pioneers Gate to
rho Park 1t is thirty years since these entrances
were named, and it may be as many more before
worthy gates and archways are constructed ac-
cordng to the original scheme, and before they
will be popularity known by the beautiful ana
appropriate names originally given to them Ana
vet this nomenclature has been wisely and per
sistcntly adhered to, and it has done much al
ready to determine the positions OF the statues
already in the Park. Thus, the statue of Morse
ia near the Inventors Gate, the statue OF Cohl-
mcrce is near the Merchants Gate, Humboidps
bust is near the Scholars Gate, and 1T is mis-
fortune that such an ancient historical record and
monument as the Obelsk had not been placed on
the Plaza which fronts the same entrance. IL has
been suggested that the Columbus statue might
stand at the Strangers Gate, which is also
commanding position, but it seems hardly appro-
priate that the discoverer of q continent should be
considered a stranger to IT, 10 Is every way Ut
ting that the statue othe great discoverer should
stand at the Pioneers Gate, and it would not ne
inappropriate if the glowing lines in which ne Is
commemorated were carved on its base:
"Chances have laws fixed as planets have,
And disappOlnments dry ana bitter root,
Enyy's harsh berries, and the choking pool 80
OF the worlds sCOrn, are the right mother mix
To the tough hearts that pioneer their KIM
And break pathway 10 those unknown realms
That in the earhs broad shadow lie enthralled.'

RrrrOOVS on THE BENCH

That our Police Justices, under the present
system Of appointment, should be wise, prudent,
sacaciouS. admirable men is doubtless beyond all
reasonable expectation but the public has at
least n right TO demand that they shall not make
their courts a stage for The exhibition Of buifoon-
cry. Whatever their antecedentS may have been
or their present affiliations may be, some of these
magistrates are no open TO serious criticism on
account of their dcmeanOr OH the bench but
several cf them continually exhibit an indecent
disregard for the common prophecies of public
station. The worst offender Of all is Justice
Duffy, who has lust returned from a trip 10
Cuba refreshed and invgorated and more in
the mood than ever to make a disgusting spec
tacle of himself 1t is his custom to degrade
the proceedings before him with SallieS Of what
he and presumably the attendants of his court
suppose to be wit Before him. as before his
fellow-Jusices Of the police bench, passes a
stream of the most deplaved and sodden Creatures
in existence; stream, however, which is not
continuous, but is frequently broken by pathetic
ficares OF undcserved misery and despair. But
whether criminal or merely watched, these poor
creatures are all entitled D. have the proceedings
which concern them conducted with dignity.
No useful purpose can be served by turning
courtroom into vulgar show place, for the
benefit of those who suppose it is to their ad-
