WILL THE FISH TAKE PLATTS BAIT! Nobody but Mr. Malby and Mr. Ains- worth is surprised at the result of the Speakership contest—so cafled—at Al- bany. It was evident some time ago that Mr. Platt desired the honor for Mr. Fish, and, of course, that settled it. It im not, however, certain that Mi Platt is the owner of Mr. Fish tn fee simple, or even that his mortgage on Mr. Fish {# one that can be immediately foreclosed. Why Mr. Platt preferred M Fish is evident. Mr. Fish has mant- fested a tendency against Greater New York, which, of course, Mr. Platt will Oppose just as he opposed getting the World's Fai here, and as he will op- pose anything else calculated to increase the glory of the metropolis. Mr. Fish, also, is more than suspected of @ prejudice in favor of certain Police Department powers, to whose protection Mr. Platt is committed. Besides this, Mr. Fish te @ man whose position upon public questions has been habitually uncertain and variable. Mr. Fish can support or oppose almost any schome or doctrine and find somewhere in his record @ precedent to justify his course. This was just the sort of a man that Platt wanted for Speaker and that he would be willing to put in the chair, trusting to subsequent influences to con- trol him absolutely. Granting that Mr, Fish still owns him- self, to a certain extent, the question at whose bait will he nibble? The chances are ninety-nine out of @ hun- dred that he will swallow Mr. Platt’s bait, hook, line and sinker, within a week. But there ts» always the hundredth chance. Let ail good citigens pray that the unexpected may happen, and our big Albany fish be hooked by some interest besides that of Boss ‘Piatt. OFFICIAL FLUMMERY. It would be interesting to ascertain with certainty just how much public officials make themselves believe of the twaddle they utter in assuming or va- cating office, and whether they really suppose they succeed in making other people believe any portion of It. Gov. Flower, now ex-Governor, made such @ glowing address of wulcome to Gov.. Morton yesterday that one might ‘well have supposed the retiring Execu- tive’s heart to be overflowing with joy at the result of the recent election. Goy. Morton was so compliment- ary to his predecessor as to create the impression that he regarded th ment of Mr. Flower public calamity and felt almost ashamed of himself for taking his place. Ex-Mayor Gilroy was so complimentary to Mayor Strong and so congratulatory as to leave the impreasion that he believed the advent of # Republican City Execu- tive a great public benefaction. Mayor Strong was so gushing in his admiration of Mr, Gilroy's talent and courtesy and parliamentary ability as to create the idea that he regretted Mr. Gilroy's retirement from the public ser- vice, ’ No stranger to our affairs, witnessing the two Inaugurals, would have imagined that there was on one side a bitterly resentful feeling at Tammany's over- throw and a thorough contempt for the reform professions of the successful party, and on the other side a convic- tion that the retiring offict: had been driven into retirement through their cor- rupt use of power and their unfaithful- ness to public tru: There is a great deal of fummery and humbug in official life. 4 NEW HAIR DYE. A singular case of hair dyeing is re- ported from Louisville, Ky. A fireman, while on watch at a recent fire, fell from exhaustion and cold, and when rescued was nearly frozen. He had white hair, but on his recovery from the effects of his exposure it was found that his hair had turned o beau- tiful black, except where protected by his helmet. The new hair, as it ap- pears at the roots, will grow Jet black, ‘The doctors are debating whether the change {s due to direct chemical action, or to a reinvigoration of the hair cel's. It is eusy enough nowadays to bleach hair. Bleached blondes are constantly seen whose locks are of a dirty tow color or a dilapidated-looking gold, and who fondly imagine that they are taken for natural blondes, Now that dark, By ke iocks are attainable, we may find our ambitious gisters engaged in freezing their heads to secure such a re- sult, It Is to be regretted so many women overlook the fact that nature fa the most perfect artist, and that what, she pro- vides is generally the most becoming. But if hair dyeing must be resorted to, black locks would certainly be prefer- able to an unhealthy looking yellow, GOOD woRDs, In his inaugural address Gov, Morton declared that the powers of the Chief Executive of the State should be used “not for personal or partisan advantage, but for the common good.” Presiding over the Republican legisla- tive caucus, Assemblyman Ainsworth sald: “Unless we use our power for the people's good another twelve months wil not roll around before we shall be turned out.” Brave words—true words. Will they be heeded by those who have come to power on the principles they enunciate? | Will the ts of the reform Governor really be influenced by considerations for the common good, and not for personal or partisan advanta, Will the power of the Legislature be exercised only for the people's good? If these principles are carried out the people will have indeed won a great victory, If they are ignored and be- trayed Mr. Ainsworth’s prediction will assuredly be fulfilled. AS OLD DAN FINLEY 6EEs IT. Daniel Finley, elghty-six years old, who spent tnirty-four years in the Dannemora Prison on a life sentence for murtering a woman with whom he lived, was pardoned by Gov, Flower on Basodera x wapaper. This is base in- ede om the Doctor's part. Were E:ter the “modern newspaper” Dr. might still be sleuthing in and woollen shirt down New Year's Bye, and yesterday reached New York and went tw the home of hi childrem bere. One would think that Danie} would be happy over regaining but no. “I was much better "he said, lamenting the dis- ; that now ties between him and more cells, “I could do us I 1 wish I was back.” Why not adopt the bicycle lamp for Elevated and D., L. and W. RR. read- ing? those who only read about it or look at ite grim outer walle with a shudder. But here is a man who, after spending an average lifetime in one—after thirty-four years’ of ever-recurring dally drudgery 4nd monotony in forbidding Dannemora —sighs to go back to it and mournfully says “he would be better off there.” What do you think of this, ye panta- ti who are working tooth and nail to keep out of prison? Perhaps if the po- lice captains who are to stand trial for bribery were to have a talk with old Dan Finley he could picture prison life to them in such rosy colors that the captains would get wedged in at Sing Bing’s gate in their frantic rush to enter the place. Slippery tracks will excuse for yesterday's serious trolley collision in Brooklyn. There is no ex- cuse. It was the expected that hap- pened. Everybody looked for it who has observed the reckless speed with which gripmen frequently allow their cars to approach crossings. It is not testified that In yesterday's affair the gripmen were racing to see which should get over the crossing first, but contests for such a point have occurred on the Brooklyn roads, — “DOWN IN DIXIE. ardly pase as an The “new” play, by fcott Mar- ble, called “Down in Dixie," now being played at the Columbus Thea- tre, Harlem, bears a strong and most unblushing resemblaace to “In Old Ken. tucky,” and if imitation really be the sincerest form of flattery—which I hardly doubt—Mr, Dasey should feel ex- tremely complimented at Mr. Scott Ma! ble's work. In the play at the Columbus we have the atheietic, b.sutiful girl who 1s not to be daunted by the removal of the bridge spanning a yawning chasm, and who swings herself acroma it and rescues her lover in his moment of peril. We have the pickaninny band of real tinted boys, and also a conflagration acene. Georgia Hale bears a striking likeness to Madge Briorley, but, of course, she le not nearly as interesting. In the third act there is @ palpitating rescue from a “cotton compress’ 0 by the hard-worked heroine—which sug- gests “Blue Jeans” and a few of the subsequent plays called forth by Mr. Arthur's work. Altogether, Scott Marble bas proved himeelf to be thoroughly up to date, and that is, perhaps, next best to being original, It was interesting yesterday to hear the gallery boys how! with delight at the situations of “Down in Dixie.” They hooted, and whistled, and screamed They were a most happy collection of Juveniles, and it did one good to hear them. They were out for new 18%, and they were young—and very young. A property seasoned, mature gallery would scarcely have accorded " Down in Dixie" so fervent a welcome. They would have seen the resemblance of which I have spoken, You can't fool the gallery. Some of the most astute criticisms I have heard from the mouths of playgoers have been uttered by gallery boys, They are in- fallible critics of melodrama, Of course, one doesn't go to thém for appreciation of cases of Rebellious Susans. “Down in Dixie" has its good points. It has one or two highly felicitous char- acters, Mamie Green is @ dear old col- ored soul, and Squire Lounda is capitally sketched. Bacon Green is also a most desirable individual. In fact, the South- ern coloring of the play is better than its ing hero, and a heroine who ts supposed to be “cute.” You know that she Is sup- posed to be “cute” because she wears a sunbonnet dangling from a string at her back, That cuteness.
