WHAT MR. WHEATCROFT SAYS OF HIS PL4L
MIND II MUCH.

The announcement has already been made that
Guy de Maupassant's "Musotte" will be played At
the Star Theatre Monday by company headed
by Nelson Wheatcroft. In speaking OF the play
yesterday Mr.. Wheatcroft said: Il think the dearth
of successful plays Is due principally to the fact
that the piaywrights in this country find so little
opportunity Of seeing for themselves what their
PLAYS lack. I have produced experimenally ten
one-act plays and three-act domestic play this
season. These were written mostly BY beginners
in playwrlting and feel satisfied that have IN
some slight measure assisted them in climbing the
ladder OF success. II only by giving them an IN.

which they have not hitherto enjoyed. For
years many Of their local officers have been
selected and appointed by the Democratic Ring
at Trenton, without the slightest reference TO
the wishes OF the cities concerned Especially
was this the case with police Justices who
would have to deal with the Rings criminal
constituents, and commissioners OF public
works. who would have the handling of a lot
of money let us run the police courts and
the treasury" said the rngsters, land we care
not who casts the votes" One of the foremost
duties of the reform Legislature was, therefore,
TO repeal this Ubiquitous legislation. and give
the people Of the cities the right and power TO
choose their own servants
This is what the bills just vetoed by Gov
ernor Werts are designed to do. The Governor
practically admits 1t. But he disapproves the
bills for the fantastic reason that they do not
vest the appointing power directly In the mass

A NOVEL MUNICIPAL BARGAIN.

Mayor Schieren gave n hearing at tho Brooklyn
City Hall this week in reference TO the action of
the Common Council in granting the application
of the South Brooklyn Railroad and Terminal
Company for permission TO extend its road
through part OF the outlying section Of the
city as II was before the passage of the recent
annexation bills When this application was
made, several weeks ago, 1t was seen that n rail
road enclrclng Brooklyn and connecting with
tidewater, as this road does at It's terminus at
the foot Of Thirty -eighthst.. South Brooklyn
would be OF great benefit 10 the city in many
ways Moreover. the company had given evil
dence of good faith by erecting a large ferry
house and station at the point on the bay Just
mentioned, as well as by constructing mile or
two Of road In that ncghborhoOd. including
q difficult and costly cutting through the hills
to the westward Of Greenwood Cemetery. 1t
had purchased its right OF way out and out
and asked no favors In that direction. All II
sought from the city was the privilege Of cross
ing number of streets. most Of them below
bridges and abumcnts. and to make whatever
changes might he required In watcr-pipes and
sewers. Rarely has a company come before the
public with an application better entitled to
favorable consideration. The report Of the Al
dermen's Railroad Committee in favor Of the
application was adopted by the Board with
only three dissenting votes.
No direct compensation was provided for the
city, but In lieu OF this It was stipulated that
the company should transport all the coal need
ed for the city's waterpumping station in the
Twenty-sixth Ward at rate not to exceed 10

The Coxey fizze cannot fall to have disheart-
ening effect on the various contingents OF the
Commonweal Army that have made their ap-
pearance here and there. Some OF them nave
already had discouraging experiences In their
attempts to get to Washington. and the nat
failure OF the original movement must demon
strate to them the utter futility OF the attempt
TO influence Congress by invading the National
capital. That is not the way things are done
in this Republic. II any men or body or men

In any year since 1882. Only $500 sittings will

a good illustration Of the false economy that pre-
vailed under the Body regime. II will require
careful management and large expenditures for
a considerable time to make good the deficiencies

penses Of the Senate Investigating Committee
was before the Legislature II stOuty OPP
posed by the Democratic members, who con-
tended that such a measure was without prece-

ground Of their opposition 10 the bill was that
its enactment would have distinct tendency
to expose the sins and iniquites Of Tammany
Hall. The bill is now in the hands Of the
Governor He ought 10 sign It by all means
but Mr.. Flower is not governed in his official
action nowadays by what he ought TO do. He
is working for political objects. and has the
fear OF the politicians constantly before his eyes

not stop the investigation.
