With Dancing Girls. Tournaments, Bat
ties, Festivals, Pageauts and Histor.-
cal Displays.
Anyone who has read but a little about Spain
will get a good insight into its history from the
grand object lesson that Barnum s. Bailey will
present in their Greatest Show on Earth when it
comes here on May 2, as one Of its greatest fea-
lures is Irme KirAlfy's magnificent historical
spectacle Of Columbus and the Discovery of
America. To describe this wondrous and coloss
al addition to tho Thousand and one attraction
of the circus and menageries, would he to ask
the allotment of too much space; suthce it that
fully 1870 Spanish and Moorish characters are
represented, and that a stage $50 feet long is re-
quired, the latter more especially for the so
beautiful dancing girls comprising ths ballet.
The whole interior of the enormous waterproof
tents are used when the spectacle Is presented,
and every available foot of space is filed with
a tremendous number of men, women, children,
soldiers, cavaliers, Spanish knights, Moorish
warriors, priests. friais, grandees, mobiles, atten-
dantS, horses. wild beasts, sacred animals, BAN
ners. heralds, and others. who take part in its
most wonderful production. Scenes in old Spain
during the wars against the Moors are truthfully
portrayed, together with thrilling, realistic bat
Ties, single combats. tournaments festivals,
feaSts, dances, games, and ravlshingly beautiful
sights. followed by tremendous triumphal pro-
sessions, pageants, choruses of song, floods Of
majestic music, aud stupendous ballots, to the
bewilderment and delight of the thousands of
assembled spectators. And with all this tre-
mendous display Of wealth and magnifcence,
there still remains the really instructive charact-
eristics and features of this truly most wonder
ful production, making 1t at once q pleasure and
a study for all classes. The marvellous blend

dinance is a very stringent enacCInent.
1t goes so far that we doubt If our
neighbory city is yet quite ripe for 1t.
But the very fact that it is proposed,
is an indication of advanced ideas
which do the city much credit. I'm
q~uestionably the building of houses
and other structures ought to be reg
ulated by we'll approved architectural
principles, codifed into law, and it Is
a good evidence of progressiveness
when the standard is set as high as it
is in this case.
We wish we saw any indications OF
similar enlightenment in our Jersey
City authorities. We would like to
see the Building Inspector, who is
soonft to be appointed to succeed Mr..
Clarke, clothed with sufficient power
to DIP some good, and backed up by a
code of rules which would be capable
OF enforcement, and which would
raise the standard of construction
when enforced.
But it is almost hopeless to expect
any such thing from u Board of
Aldermen-unless the new one proves
to be a wonderful Improvement over
the old. For nearly two months now.
the new Fire Escap9law has been in
force, and yet not q finger has been

Colonel Wanser and the Rumsters.
The Hudson County Liquor Deal
ers' Association has apparently reck-
oned without its host in relying on
the protection OF Mayor Wanser, as a
known friend of the liquor interests,
for the protection of its Sunday trade.
The election Of CsfJaael Vanser has
stfres up public senti~sAt, and now
he rumsters will find it hard to stop
he machine that they have helped
ct n motion.
For years the saloons nave enjoyed
d immunity, born of inattention and
Indifference. So long as they kept their
blinds down and their front doors
losed, nobody took any notice OF
heir secret violation of the law. But
q uniting with the extremist element
X the community to create a "re-
form tidal wave, they created an ag-
gressive movement against themselves
from which they are now going to
garner results which they little ok
pected and will enjoy still less.
Mayor Wanser will have no chance
for evasion or escape from his respon-
sibilities. Professedly he was the cam
didate Of the churches-though really
the churches were a small element in
electing him. He stood upon the
ulatform made for him by DIR.
Scudder, Mr.. McMinn, DIR. Mitchell,
Mr.: Brett, and the other excel
lsntly weIl-meaning gentlemen who
threw in their weight against Allan
MeDermott. Now he must certainly
close the saloons on Sunday ana close
them tight; he must stop the Sunday
arumstrafic or else he must make pub
e1ic confession of a secret understand
ing with the rum sellers on the
strength of which they secured his
alohtion bv their fed III circular.

bargain existed&.IVe believe Colonel
Wanser is afree s&ent, and so we ok
