Mr.. Henry Byrne's Capers.

Various causes for the recent Demo-
cratic defeat have been assigned by
more or less thoughtful and intelli-
gent persons; but we venture to say
that no one man has contributed
more TO this result than MI. Henry
Byrne, the so-called street cleaning
and garbage contractor, who seems to
be a peculiar pet of our Street and
Water Board.
We invite the attention of the Dem
ocratic leaders to the story of Mr..
Byrne's proceedings on Oxford Ave
nue., which is published in u news
columns and we suggest this question
to them How will residents along
Oxford Avenue and other thorough
fares within range of the nuisance
vote next fall? How will they vote
in the municipal election next spring?
Justice Kimmerly and Mr.. James
G. Clarke are prominent leaders IN
that part of the city. We just ask
them this question: Do you think Mr..
Byrne is helping you to carry your
section for the Democratic party,
which gives him these fat contracts
out of which he is rapidly rolling up a
fortune?
We tell you plainly. gentlemen.
this thing and practices like it must
be stopped or the party may as well
shut up shop in this town.

Zola's PIay Will be Given by Potter and
BelIew in Hoboken.
Manager Ross, Of the Hoboken Theatre has
been enterprising enough to secure the Potter
Bellew Combination for Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings, May 20 and "a, with a matinee on
Wednesday. They will appear in Zola's ''Ther-
ese Raquin."
sTherese. a child of Arab lineage, is adopted by
Madame Raquin and educated to marry Canllie,
her son. a crippled. petulant Invalid: Laurent,
an erstwhile painter and railway clerk, discovers
In Camille an old friend, becomes intimate with
the family, ia lis in love with Therese. VINO Wildly
reciprocates his passion, and during a SUNDAY
excursion they drown the invalid, and after a
reasonable time the two murderers marry. Inc
balance of the play is devoted to depicting the
remorse of the gnilty couple. the mother $ dis-
covery of the crime. after which she IS paranzeu,
and the suicide of the partners in crime.
AS Therese, Mrs. Potter is much greater bodily
than orally. She is graceful and dramatic in
her movements, and her work shows evidence
of careful study and intelligent appreciation OF
the bart Mr.. Bellew, as Laurent, does his part
admirably. in fact it is difficult to conceive or its
being better done, and the work stamps him as
one Of the most improved actors OF the age.
John +. Ward, as Gravel, serves a delectaoie
dish of real genuine comedy, perfect in make
IN. voice and action that is a feast in this day OF
farce. Merton Erie, as Madame Raquin, sus-
taips her reputation as an artist. The Michand
of Mr.. Charges is a careful and excellent piece
OF work.
The third act is horribly real, and is breath
lessIy watched and loudly applauded.

Excellent Performances OF a Pleasing
Irish Character Play.
James Al. Herne's latest play, M

Opera House, to a full house and received
the highest need of appreciation. The
play is a real picturesque Irish comedy

play is full fun of throughout, the comlcai
incidents and witty dialogues. keeping
the audience in an almost ~tlnu
roar of laughter. The author depicts
what seems to be true
picture OF Irish love and devotion.
The play is finely staged ana superpiy

deliberations of the excellent comedian,
MIR. Tony Farrell, who in the representa-
ton of the principal character, Jerry

with all the manly qualities essential TO
the part. His Introduction OF several

the play is the lovely acting and singing

ever on the stage. No description would

proper realization of his appearance. say

several little kittens and 'Rody" the
piper, added immensely to the humor OF
the play. A thunder storm followed by
a rainbow, was one of the scenic effects.
No more pleasing play OF its class has
been presented in this city this season.

The Finance Board Stay Dissolved.
The news was current in this city
this morning that the Supreme Court
Judges had dissolved the stay granted
by Judge Lippincott in the Board OF
Finance litigation. This places
Messrs, Frazer and Detwiller i'll full
legal occupation of the places to
which Mayor Wauser appointed them,
pending the final adjudication OF the
issues in the case by the full bench OF
the Supreme Court in the quo toar-
2onto proceedings.
As we write. the text OF the judges
opinion, if they have drafted one, has
not reached this city; but the mere
fact of the decision sufffces to show
that the Bench of this State cannot
be muddled with mixed ale.
But one does not need to know the
grounds of this decision to appreciate
its sweeping effects. 1t completes the
revolution. Messrs. Frazer and Det-
willer now become absolutely de focto
Commissioners of the Board of FL
nance. and all their acts, as such will
be valid and binding upon the city.
This gives Mayor Wanser and his
friends practical control of the city
government.
We believe the confirmation OF
Mayor Wabser's appointment to other
offices and boards by the votes of the
de fdcto members will be valid. Some
persons say there is a nice legal ques-
tioninvolved. We do not see it. Ii
one act of the de fGct0 members is
sound. why moi all. 1t is true there
is a sense anomaly in
the act of unconfirmed commits
sioners, who sit In defiance
of the confirmation law, acknowledg-
ing that law and confirming Others.
But is it any more of an outrage on
common sense than the atrocious
enactment framed by the Bad Senator,
by which members of the Finance
Board might maintain themselves in
office forever by their own votes?
That law has not yet been approved by
the Supreme Court. and perhaps never
will be, yet some lawyers say it is con-
stitutional and valid.
Whatever one may think Of the sit
uation, one must be blind who fails to
see where the responsibility lies. 1t
all goes back to one man-Robert
Davis. This man has dictated the
policy of the Jersey City Democracy
for years, and to.day's chaos is the
