THE MAGISTRATE’S COCKTAIL, It is edifying to read Magistrate Connorton’s deflance of the police regulation of drinks and Sabbatical sand- wiches at Coney Island. “Sundays and every other day m the year I take a cocktail an hour before my dinner,” gays the Magistrate, “and I intend to take one next Sun- flay on some shady piazza by the sea, and not ten thou- sand Commissioner Greenes can stop me.” Bravely said; and we can readily conjure up the sight of the Magistrate sitting on the seaside piazza after din- ner, with good fat capon lined, righteously serene in his consciousness of a bold deed well done. “But what is to happen to the plain person who wants @ focktail at Coney an hour before dinner? Where is he going to get it and how? And why is he not as much entitled to it as any other member of the community? The humbug of ths whole thing !s the discrimination in “shady piazzas by the sea” whereby on one a drink can be taken with impunity which on another would mean arrest and perhaps imprisonment overnight in a etuffy cell. THE STRIKE OUTLOOK. ‘A very cane and conservative view of existing labor roubles is taken by President John Mitchell in his Evening World interview. He regards the “strikes and differences between employee and employer as but tem- porary,” and due chiefly to the May renewals of con- tracts and the adjustment of questions in dispute. He thinks that by the beginning of June “all will be at ‘Ponce again.” Thia temperate and restrained opinion {s character. istic of the Mine Workers’ leader and will carry weight “with an apprehensive public as coming from one whose “point of view gives him a clearer vision than that poe messed by most observers. One reason why the industrial disturbances seen ‘greater than in former years though really not so 1s, Mr, Mitchell points out, because “where capital never met with such public attention hefore its smallest move is ‘mow observed, and as labor organimtions effect capital more than anything else, so they also come into the Slare of the limelight.” Mr. Mitchell thinks also that in these times of great combinations of capital one main cause of labor dis- turbances is that the magnate {s too far removed from his employees; the capitalist’s representative too frequently makes exacting demands on workmen to an extent not ‘authorized or countenanced by his employer. It is a theory plausible enough to those who recall how eome of the worst abuses of slave-holding grew out of the power delegated to overseers. If master and man could “get together” oftener the misunderstandings which re- eult in strike and lockout would be far fewer. WHEN NEW YORK WAS YOUNG. ‘Those who read The Evening World's series of “Brief Sbapters in the History of New York” by Andrew H. Green, will have occasion to congratulate themselves on the facility afforded them of obtaining the pith of the eity’s history as thcre presented in most readable and entertaining form. These “Brief Chapters" will begin fm Monday's paper and continue for six issues, Tt 48 romantically interesting history. Peter Stuy- vesanmt and his Bowery farm, near the centre of which is now St. Merk’s Church; Wouter Van Twiller; all the ‘early Dutch Governors and the English after them who transformed New Amsterdam into New York; the early records of names then and now socially great, the Roose- velts and Crugers and Schuylers and many a Van; the revolutionary era, with its memories of Harlem Plains ‘and the dread encounter on Long Island when Wash- ington wept to think of the brave fellows he would lose before night; the glorious period when the brilliant ‘young metropolis was the seat of the national govern- ment;—merely to recall names and dates is to show a ‘historical panorama of mre interest. No reader who begins the series will rest content until he has ended it. And he will have as his reward graphic memoirs he will be glad to possess. THE CAPTAIN OF THE “‘POLE-STAR "’ The Evening World next week will publish A, Conan Doyle's interesting story, ‘The Captain of the Pole- Star.” it will run serially through six issues, the first instalment appearing Monday and tho last Saturday. This is a romance in Dr. Doyle's best veln, with an allowance of thrilling episode and sensational incident not exceedod in “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” It is a tale of whaiing life in the arctics, with the accessories of frozen seas, a midnight sun and threatened death by starvation. The main thread of the story carries out the unique conception of a polar ghost—the phantom of a lost love which haunts the captain. It is a story of adventure and excitement and melo- | WITH MES ; LEHR) f 13 TOLD ABOUT NEW YORKERS.
