An Irrcparablc Loss.

Philadelphia Bulletin with the pos
sible exception of the late James Russell
Lowell American letters has sustained no
loss so great as that of the poet Eugene
Field. To those who know his work. it
will be felt that this exquisite mind Is
cut off in the verge of its highest reaches.
For, although the work of his pen has of
late attained very high flights. it gave sus-
tained promise of going still higher. Deep
ly, however. as his death will be regret
ted, 1t will be owned with melancholy
satisfaction that the young poet has left
enough almost perfect work to give him
a lasting place in the roll of the really
great singers. The American Heine' he
has sometimes been called and the paral-
lei holds certain fitness-though those
intimately acquainted with his poems will
hold him far higher in passionate warmth,
humorous pathos, than the cynical Ger
man singer. The humor that touched
tears, the sympathy that tender allusion
wakes. marked his verse beyond that of
any singer in the English tongue. With
some of the fantastic touch of Hood, he
embodied the quaint grace of Thackeray.
the pungent wit of Holmes. Indeed. the
which embrace all his later work reveal
him the master of all the modern school
OF humorous versifiers. His work not in
frequently suggests a later Horace, while
his adaptations from the classics reveal
power second only to Byron in the trans
lation of their poetic essence from tongue
to tongue. But. though gone before his
time, his literary remains will place him
in the small group of the really great
whose singing Is not the song Of an empty
day"

The Result In New York City.

Fer the defeat of the Fusion and
the success Of the Tammany ticket in
New York city yesterday many causes
can be assigned. In the first place, it
marks the inevitable recctl of senti-
ment wh!ch is noticeable the year fol-
lowing tidal waves. The reform pitch
reache,1 one year ago simply could not
be sustained by a city containing with
in its limits SO many base elements as
are to be found in New York.
Another reason for the defeat Is to be
found in THE limp and gingerly manner
in which the Fus.onists approached the
excise question. They were neither for
nor against q decent observance of the
Christian Sabbath, hence they found
favor WITH neither side. 1t pays In re-
form campaigns to have convictions
and to stand by them. This may bring
on defeat, but not disgrace.
"a third reason is the probable fact
tEiat on an average a majority of the
voters Uf New York city prefer vice
to virtue and license to prudent re-
stIaint. III 1T were not SO, the prob
l;ln of governing our large cities would
be an easy one, instead of the most
difiicult problem before the country to-
day.

The first thing heard as the crowd en-
tered the grounds of the Old Dominion
Jockey Club at Alexander Island Satur-
day was Gast Secretary Tompkins had
handed in his resignation. Investigation
proved that the rumor was correct and
with the last race Saturday night his Of
ficial duties ceased.
The relations between the management
and Mr.. Tompkins are friendly in every
way, they say, the resignation being
brought about by a desire on his part to
give his entire attention to his stable OF
horses.
All this sounds well, but the truth of the
matter unquestionably is that those in
charge were made to realize by The Times
exposures that something must be done to
put show of respectability on the place.
They know only too well the injustice
that has been done other owners by per-
mitting Mr.. Tompl1ins to run his horses,
but they did not care to realize this wrong
until compelled to by the perfect torrent
of protest that has been brought forth
since The Times called attention to the
fact.
