NOT DISSATISFIED.

Like the burglar who pursued his PROFESSION
with all youthful ardor after his siXth reiease
from Sing Sing Mr.. Edward Lauterpach mas
the courage OF his convictions. Yesterday lie
anpearsd before the Common Council commit
fee TO plead In behalf OF the $4,000 appropria-
ton for a charter day celebration. "A great
many excellent citizens believe tnat tne en-
largement Of the city Of New-York TO DE the
second city In the civilized world is an event
of sufficient moment to have ceremonial recogn-
ton. So II Is not surprising that proposals
should be made for the city to contribute 10
the EXPENSES of such an observance Neither
Is II surprising that an energetic and enthus-
astic person like Mr. Lauterbach should rejoice
in the prospect, of municipal picnic. But what
Is snrprisng-or would be in the case OF any
other man-is that Mr. Lauterbach should jump
into the ring to call attention to his own part
in the birtn and training Of the imperial city
But rs have said, Mr. LauterDacn mas the
courage of his convictions
He calls on the Republicans Of the Municipal
Assembly to favor the appropriation lest their
opposition should seem to he selfish expression
of discomfort with the result OF the last election
Perhaps they should take the advice, but 1t
must strike them as a little curious, not to say
indiScreet, for Mr.. EDWARD lMuteEDacn' WIN "
year ago was shouting BETTER Tammany
Mayor than man responsible 10 no party. 10
tell Republicans who are supposed TO regard
Tnmmany rule as a public calamity ;hat they
should not seem to be discontinued with the
result Of the last election, and adding that ne
is not selfshly discontinued himself. IL VIII
be remembered that the reason why Tammany
at present rules this town is that, following Mr.
Lauterbach's advice, certain Republican poll
ticians who professed the greatest adherence
TO Tammany made a campaign of bitter abuse
against the only movement which had chance
to beat IT, and conspcuously failed TO make any
warfare on Tammany itself. Undoubtedly. Mr..
Lauterbach did prefer n Tammany Mayor TO n
non-partisan administration. Undoubtedly he
is not dissatisfied. But 1t looks n little queer
for him to ask the public TO take note of the
fact

Thomas was evidently IN full sympathy with its
mood, and read L with much care Il well but
not brilliantly played. some OF its contours seemed
a little blurred and there were sometimes inner
voices that were neslisently phrased. especially
IN the wood wind.

therefore should be recorded as one of the mos,
auspicious Incidents OF the dramatic season now
slowly drawing 10 a close. Nine. MoGjeska An
peared as Mary Stunrt. and to those who know
her acting in tina character the mere mention

number OF persons 10 whom such an image IA

vlclsstudes Of fortune, the perlls that bese great

Nine Modjeskas Improvisation OF Mary Stuart
was particularly considered and commented in
this Journal. and further review OF It Is unneces.

NO ALLIES FOR SPIN.

Spanish and other European papers, even the
most serious and authoritative, continue TO dis
cuss war between the United States and Spain
as not improbable, and to speculate upon the
chances Of SPANS receiving aid from some
other European Power in contest which would
otherwise be hopeless from the beginning
Their net conclusion on the subject Is that
Spain should be careful not TO begin the war
but to throw that onus upon the United States
For, they argue, if Spain be the aggressOr she
will get no help from any one, but il she he the
object Of American aggression she will get
aid. That, on the face Of it, seems not unsound
reasoning But the addendum which is made
vexed peninsula. AID may come TO Spain, they
say; but not from Great Britain nor the Triple
Alliance.
That 1t will not come from either OF those
sources may indeed be reckoned certain. But
the alternative is that II Will come from the
Dual Alliance. or from one of It's members.
That is not a reasonable expectation. France IS
by ancient tradition and By present condition
one Of this country's warmest friends. Her
existing Government is especially friendly 10
us. Her interests lie on the side of continued
friendship with US She IS a republic and
therefore has no sentimental inclination toward
bosterng up a monarchy. She has been pre-
pairing for more than quarter OF a century
for a war Of revenge against Germany and
she does not mean to squander those prepara-
lions in an unfruitful war with any one else
leaving herself meanwhile exposed TO another
crushing blow from across the Rhine No; tile
Gallo Cock will not fight his old friend and
comrade. the Eagle. IN any such case as that
Russia. too has long been reckoned friend
Of this country. and her material interests at
the present day urgently require that she shall
remain one. She has for years been armed
against both Great Britain and the TRIBE AL
lance and will not unless compelled by attack
expend her forces upon another object She
has, moreover, vast enterprises on hand-in Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa-suffcient to occupy all
her attention for some time 70 come and 10 en-
ploy all the forces she can spare from home
defence 1t is not conceivable that she vii,
forsake the substance in Turkey and the Bal
kans, IN Abyssinia and I'm China and Corea for
tic most tenuous Of shadows in America. And
the same reasons that would keep one of these
Powers from going TO war with the United
States would restrain them both together. They
would restrain any OF the great Powers Of Eu-
rope from such a course.
There are, moreover, two other considerations
which must not be overlooked which would
restrain any prudent European Power save one
