CLEVELAND'S POINTERS. +,/Mr. Cleveland's \deas are clearly as much mixed on the question of finance ‘as are those of Congress and the rest ot us.

Having done their mititary duties and contentediv. to the discharge of their civil duties The services performed by our New ‘York regiments cannot be too highly ap- Preclated, They left their comfortable homes without a murmur on a most an- noying and trying mission and one full of actual danger, not from violence alone but from unaccustomed exposure and ex- ertions. They had no previous warning training, They were called away at a moment's notice, and they responded to the call cheerfully because it was made 4n the name of patriotism, law and order. ‘They proved themselves by their prompt and willing response true soldiers at heart, brave, earnest and devoted, us ready for active service as for parade, good at fighting as at feasting, as bold in battle as in the ballroom, The reception the returning regiments met on this side of the bridge proved how well their work has been appre- elated and how highly our citizens Mant guardsmen of the city, \ NO DANGER OF BLOODSHED. The politicians of the city were excited Yesterday over the announcement that Congressman Bourke Cockran 1s going to Europe.

It broke the Ice, and after that all went very easily. At about 10 o'clock, however, the con- dition of things waa this: We know that Beerbohm Tree 1s a great actor, becaus | We have heard so very much about him, and Messrs, Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau have taken the trouble to import him. | But, supposing—remember, I am merely | supposing—that we were not so deadly certain of his histrionte superiority, could his work in “The Ballad-Monger” and “The Red Lamp" have won Amer fean recognition for him? It was a dreadful question to ask, but the que tion had to be asked, and the answer was even worse. For it was a “ No”— a low-voiced, but undeniable “N with no humbug about it, The English actor was unwise in his selection of plays. It was a mistaken policy to make an American debut with such a trif_z as “The Ballad-Monger” and such @ stupidly uninteresting drama as W. Outram Tristam's ‘Red Lamp.” For they afforded Mr. Tree but few oppor- tunities, and Americans, not having been brought up with him, could not thor- oughly appreciate his efforts, Oh! I know that the applause was loud and vehement, but it was not genuine, and there {s no use making any bones about It. Tree will make a hit, for he is an admirable, Intellectual actor, but it will jnot be in the plays that he offered last night. When he stepped upon the stage as Gringoire we eaw that he had in his favor the ineffable charm of youth, That means so much. He ts not musty, and desiccated and played out, He ts a good-looking young man, with a mobile face, a cl ‘ming manner, and a voice, with w lisp in it. As the poettc ballad- monger he spoke his lines carefully and musically, and if he failed to convince his audience of his sincerity, that fact must be ascribed to a certain extent to Which Was swamped in pretty ‘There was no truth in the there was no truth ‘Tree's conception of It.
