The Gubernatorial inaugural exercises at
Trenton on January II are not to be so
simple as our Jeffersonian Governor-elect
would have them. He announced some
time ago thai there would be nc parade
or other fuss and feathers, and that he
would take the oath of office and deliver
his address in the Assembly Chamber.
This part Of his programme has been over
ruled, on the ground that the Assembly
Chamber is too small to accommodate
the throngs which are certain to be pres
ent. Therefore the exercises win be held
in the Opera House
Mr.. Voorhees,. however. maintains that
there will be no parade or hippodrome of
any kin about the proceedings. This
viii probably be overruled, too. When
the various Republican marching clubs
go down to Trenton as escorts to this or
that great man they will insist hat they
be reviewed by the new Governor and he
viii be helpless to prevent he parade.
Your average Republican is too closely
welded to o%stentation and display to
allow an opportunity like this to show
themselves to, escape.

The Republican leaders viii have some
difficulty in getting over or under or
around the plain common sense of these
arguments. Assuredly nothing could tend
to drag the Police and Fire Departments
into politics more han the scheme of
making them dependencies of the party
organizations. That the people, on a
popular vote, would endorse any such pro-
ceeding is simply incredible.
What we want is complete and direct
responsibility in the Mayor and in the
Commissioners-not responsibility to a
machine or a clique, but to the people.
The best reform would be one which re-
moved all or a majority of the members
of all executive boards from office on the
election of each new Mayor, 50 that each
administration should be responsible for
its own acts. AS it is now, a Mayor really
gets control of the city government only
about ten days prior to the close of his
two year term.

MUSICAL MATTERS.


Emil sauer. one of Europe's most dis
tinguished pianists, is coming to this
country to give a series of forty concerts,
the first of which will be given in the
Metropolitan Opera House, New York
City. January 10. 1899. II was early in
1876 that R~ubenstein heard Sauer, and the
master recognizing his extraordinary tall
ent. recommended him to his brother
Nickolaus. Sauer travelled to England
where he was warmly received and APP
~preciated. His chief charm is his beau-
tiful warm touch tinged with delicate
sentiment, his passages n ornaments
breathed in the ioveliest pianissino.
While he is strong and brilliant in bravara
yet he plays tenderly the works of
the Chopin and Schumann school. He
has been well described as the piano
troubadeur. Sauer is being brought to
his country by Mr.. r. e. Johnston, OF
No. Sc Fifth avenue, who will makesall ar

result in the material benefit of them
