cause of the Delay in the Enforce
ment of the Sentence.
Until District Attorney Davis has had an
opportunity to read the opinion of the
United States Supreme Court in the case of
Mr.. Elverton r. Chapman, the contuma-
cious sugar trust witness, denying Mr..
Chapman's petition for release by habeas
corpus, he will not ask for the enforcement
of the sentence imposed by Judge Cole upon
the defendant, fine of 500 and imprison-
inent in jail for thirty days. The opinion
of the court is expected to be promulgated
In few days. and then Mr.. Davis will not
only proceed to secure the enforcement of
the sentence, but will also call the remain
irg defendants for tr1al-Messrs. Have
meyer. Seymour, Searles, Mccartney,
Shfiver and Edwards. Counsel for the un-
tried men contend that their cases differ
from that of Mr.. Chapman in several re-
spects. although the government contends
that there are no material differences. 1t is
also said that when the court directs the
enforcement of Mrs Chapman's sentence he
will apply for pardon. and as the case has
been generally regarded as a test case it is
not unlikely that the President will act ia
vorably in the matter.

LAFAYETTE SQUARE OPERA HOUSE.
The Castle Square Opera Company reached
last night the beginning of the second week
of its summer season at the Lafayette
Square in the THE Queens Lace Hand
kerchief." a Strauss opera which some
people admire and some do not though
after the performance last night those
who admired were in the majority This
opera may LACK in melodies popularity
both with singers and with audiences but
Strauss did no bad work, except as in
comparison with his own efforts so that the
Lace HandkerehiaB' Is worthy of all con-
| sideration. The cast last night was strong.
and some of the Individual parts particu-
| larry so. Lizzie Macnichol scored an un-
deniable hit as the king. and in the last
| act when sne interpolated Tcstis Good
Bye, she fairly surprised her auditors and
| received an ovation. Miss Josephine Knapp.
| whose attractive personality is always sat
! isfying III any part, was charming Irene
and Miss Warden, who did the queen at
twenty-fours' notice, Is to be congratulated d
on not doing il well. but as nearly we'll
| as she did on so short notice. Cervantes,
! the queens reader, by Tom Persse, was
gracefully presented in acting and song
| and the TWO comedians, Arthur Wooley
and Frank Hitchcock. who Is new to US,
made as much fun as anybody could have
| done. The chorus was in splendid shape
| and the finale to the second act was given
with such a volume of tone and with such
| perfect precision ard spirit that 1t had to
be repeated. The costuming of the opera
was rich and the stage setting elaborate.

THE WaSHER-WOMAN'S TESTIMONY.

Some peoplc NAV be inclined to laugh at
the testimony Of washerwomnn that New
York IL n perfect paradise now rs compared
with what 1t was formerly" In the advantages
It offers to persons in her calling to dry their
clothes without having them spoiled by clouds
of dust, and they may think 1t puerllc OF Colonel
Warning to have made public her letter. Yet
that letter Is one Of extreme significance, Doth
rs testimony to fact and an indication OF po-
ltical tendency. When before did the washer
woman awake TO the practical value or good
government and desire its continuance! III the
washerwoman has by simple observation ana
experience learned that Tammany rule meant
TO her loss Of time labor and money, how many
butchers, bakers drygoods merchants grocers
and other men have learned the same thing!
When the wage-earners and hand workers OF
the city are alive to the real meaning OF inu-
ncipal administration there need be no fear
that they will restore Tammany misadmnstra-
ton If they have half chance to make the
choice Therefore the wise politician will see
that they have the chance 10 choose between
the old days. when carelcssness and corruption
robbed even the washer woman, and an admin
iStration devoted entirely to the continuance ana
enlargement of the good work they already
approve.
The mere fact that a washerwoman has
better chance to ply her vocation than formerly
Is a small thing. But it is just one example
among a hundred which might be quoted OF the
benefits Of a business administration. 1t IS not
the millionaires who have been the chief gain
ers from the overthrow of Tammany. 1t is not
the contractors. 1t Is not the real estate specu-
lators who were wise enough to invest when the
insiders bought. 1t IS the everyday run or peo-
pie who work for living. who have to stay
here twelve months Of the year, and who haven't
any fancy. amateur rotiOns about politics.
These people have found their streets fit to
walk in. They can sit at their doors without
breathing garbagcaden air. They can look
from their windows upon open streets instead
of masses of wagons left TO be the lurking place
of filth and crime These blessings are too real
To be ignored. Party cries and the dsingenuous
fault finding Of politicians fall on deaf ears
when voters know that their own daily lives
have been Frightened by that which Is de-
nounced
That the city government for the last three
II would not assert. But even its enemies have
not been able To charge It with corruption, or
deny the substantial benefits that II has con
ferred The further enjoyment Of these bene
fits is what the people want. and we are con-
WINGED that If they are asked TO elect new city
officials on that simple issue they will be sure
to do So.
