Under the new law overhauling and re- constructing the police courts and the Courts of Sessions, a prisoner who wears that he ‘s innocent may have his case transferred from Special to Genera! Sessions for trial. It follows that {f a man who 1s to be tried jpecial Sessions faila to make hie aMdavit entitling him to the trans- fer, the presumption is in favor of his guilt. Martin Golden, charged with assault, made the first application under the new law, swearing to his innocence. The removal was applied for in the Supreme Court, as the law requires, and Judge Stover granted it. Now it ts threatened in the District- ‘Attorney's office that If Golden is con- wieted in the General Sessions, he will be prosecuted for perjury. {This seems a very one-sided and curi- ous law. Every accused man is entitled to be considered innocent until con- vieted. The prisoner in this case may consider that he is innocent on account of justification or for some other reason, and yet a jury may convict him. The) prisoner who was asked by the Court !f he was guilty or not guilty replied: “That's what I'm here to find out, Your Honor. I haven't heard the evidence.” If @ man ts entitled to consider him- self innocent until found guilty, can he} be justly punished for perjury for swear- | img to his innocence? It will take Original Proprietor Brad- Jey a long time to restore the equanim- | ity of Asbury Park. The bicyclers are) giving the fine old resort a most health- ful shaking up. THE DUTY OF ECONOMY. ‘The Comptroller announces an addai- tion of three or four millions to the debt of the city for the first half of the pres- ent year. The tax levy will be more than a million dollars larger than last year. New York is an expensive city to gov- ern, The people know that, and will mot begrudge a fair and liberal cost, provided they get good government and honest expenditures. ‘There has certainly been an improv: ment in some of the departments. ‘There fa a stoppage of dock jobs. The streets @re clean. The parks are better cared for and protected against vandalism. ‘These are some of the fruits of reform. But it will be remembered that one of the charges against the Tammany re- > gime was that the expen of the city ‘were outrageously high, that the public Money was squandered on political de- pendents, and that the tax levy was a fraud on the taxpayer, and ought to have been much less in amount than it was. Reform promised decreased expendi- tures, with more efficient and more hon- @st administration. This pledge ought to be kept. No demands of patronags no desire to make it pleasant for t “boys” by affording thei taste of the polls, will justify or excuse extrava- Bence on the part of the reform city government. The people will not complain of liberal eppropriations, provided the money 1s eeded for efficient administration and fe hon@tly expended. But if reform campaign pledges are to be kept, the east of the city government ought to be lees then it was under Tammany rule. & hundred and two years ago yester- day the French people overthrew the Bastile.

Euro- pean duellists who waste so much time and ammunition in killing nobody should Import an Oklahoman to teach them the art of dueiling as is duelling. The Coney Island elephant was ob- nerved to cast a droll glance in the di- rection of New York yesterday, and pleasantly wink the other eye. MR. ROOSEVELT SELECTS HIS STATUTE. Has the pull come back in the Police Department? Han some one tampered with the integrity of Commissioner Roosevelt? He promised that he would strictly enforce all the laws. When some one asked him whether he could not inter- pret the Sunday law against selling beer more lentently he answered no, that he could not select statutes, but must en- force every law, becaune if he did not the police force would be demoralized by the contemplation of injustice, of perseoution, by the sight of one set of men being punished and another set of men escaping punishment for the same kind of offen: Now, alas, he is the first to be false to himself. Yesterday, soda was sold openly, flagrantly, in deflance of all law. Newapapers were sold at all corners. Flowers were peddied wherever crowds gathered. The Sunday law was only half en- forced. Only the sellers of beer we! prosecuted. Why has Mr. Roosevelt selected that statute for enforcement and neglected all the others? Boda-water sellers, he says, will be ‘arregted only on complaint and warrant. Why? Policemen break into liquor stores and fight to push open doors. Why are the soda-sellers exempted from this treatment? Mr. Roosevelt # not honest. He has picked out one law for enforcement. He refuses to enforce the Bunday law against one set of men and enforces it vigorously and vigilantly against an- other set of men. This is not prosecu- tion—more !ike persecution. It must make his policemen amile as an example of even-handed justice. The skies were more merciful than Roosevelt yesterday, They were bright, but they did not scorch, 80 they did not aggravate the thirsty, THE HABIT OF VOTING FOR CLEVELAND, Secretary Daniel Lamont ts making a tour of the PacificCoast for the inspection of forts and the repairing of fences. It Is the general belief that in the order of importance the fences rank higher than the forts, These fences are not his own. They are those of his friend, Grover Cleveland, and inclose, or are intended to inclose, delegates to the next Na- tlonal Convention who shall vote for Mr. Cleveland as the nominee of the Democratic party for the fourth time. The President has got #0 accustomed to the candidate habit now that he can- not break it off without great danger to his nerve cent Besides, he is afraid that all those Democrats of thir. ty-three or thirty-four years of age, who have never voted for any other President except himself since they firat had a vote, have got into the state of mind that the frontieramen had for Andrew Jackson, and will go on voting for him anyhow, and he may as well take the uffice as t it go to the Re publicans by default. This is praixeworthy in every way. But the problem is how will the Demo- rats ever be weaned from voting al- ways for this one man. It is serious. Suppose Mr. Cleveland were to dle, and all these Democrats were to go on monotonovsly voting for him for years to come, it might result In turning over the Government permanently to the Re- now merely in order that his final dis- appearance may be gradual, and that the Democrats may have a chance to taper off from their habit and not break off suddenly, which might be terrible to all concerned. No policeman appeared. It seems Capt. Martens was closing the saloons in his precinct." That was only one case. There were many instances of he same sort. Why does Commissioner Roosevelt claim that “all” lawa were to be enforced? The successful fighting of fire at sea on La Normandie and the bravery of the crew during the time of trial, can- not but add to the feeling of security with which the travellers of these days embark on ocean voyages. Four policemen with folded arms watched a fierce fight in Park Row, be-| tween Pearl and Roosevelt streets. Not @ man of them interfered. They were on “special duty,” keeping saloons closed. Mr. Roosevelt has made New York unique among the cities of the land. And the “common people” pay for it in pain and privation, Mr. Roosevelt and his fellow-clubmen do not suffer, ‘Chastised for insulting a lady.” The lady's husband did the chastising. “No policeman in sight."

ORAMATIONEWS AND NOTES mille DArville Pro else Prima Domaa--Maurice Barry- more as a Playwright. Camille D'Arville is a prima donna after all, That fact was suggested a short time ago when a refractory hui band turned up, threatened to make trouble and all that sort of thing. And now {t has just been confirmed by an adorable capriciousness worthy of Marie ‘Tempeat or Lillian Russell, Miss D'Ar- ville was engaged by Henry J. Lesite to sing the leading role in the open-air production of “Dorothy,” which ts to be given at Lake George at the end of this month. Miss D'Arville was a little high priced, but her terms were con- ceded. She wanted an advance of $150; | she got it. The centre of the stage was, almost assured her, The singer was) delighted. She told Mr. Leslie that it had always been the height of her am- bition to sing in “Dorothy” amid con- genial surroundings, Mr. Leslie called upon her and went through the music with her, for Leslie isn't like a good many of the fly-by-night comic opera managers, who don't know the differ- ence between “Yankee Doodle’ and Lisst's “Rhapsodies Hongrotu He advertised her very extensively in Lake George, for there's no denying the fact that D'Arville is a drawing card, as she ‘well deserves to be. And then the spirit of tho dream was changed. Miss D'Ar- ville refused to sing, returning the part and the check that had been given her. ‘The only excuse she gave was that she couldn't commit the role to memory. “It was an unpardonable thing to do, said Mr. Leslie yesterday, ‘and I shall not let the matter drop, for I shall put it in the hands of my lawyers. For- tunately for me, I hadn't contracted to supply D'Arville. My contract reads that T am to give a good, all-around Performance, and that I shall do. As soon as D'Arville resigned her part I engaged Dorothy Morton. The per- formance will be excellent without D'Arville, though I should like to have had her very much. The indications are that ‘Dorothy’ will be a great suc- cess. In it I shall introduce a ballet called "Then and Now,’ in which Ther- esa Vaughn, will sing’‘Ben Bolt.’ The spot where ‘Dorothy will be sung is a lovely one, and we are having trees re- | moved, electric lights arranged ‘and other arrangements made.”" eee Two performances of “Dorothy” will be given at Lake George, and then Mr. Leslie will take the company to Lake Saranac, Saratoga, Long Branch and other Summer resorts, ‘This manager talks of taking three operas on the road next season, “Dorothy,” “Tne Red Hu sar,” with @ revised book, and ‘Dori patch has never been seen in this coun- . for the general: the American . more Jo; Iacerated heart of t wright.
