We are heartily glad that tho District-Attor?
ney is not sntislied with the verdict of the Cor?
oner's Jnry in the Irving-Walsh inquest, which
declared that Porter had no hand in tlie shoot
ing. Tin- ease calls for thorough hivr ligation,
and Mr. McKeim should not drop it until tho
whole altair, inelnding that remarkable inquest,
has been well sifted. Far be it from DJ to assail
the motives of that eminent Democratic ward
lioliti'ian, Coroner Martin. His motives nuiy
have been of tho puns! and noblest ; but the way
the bullets nnd the pistols pot mixed up ns the
investigation advanced certainly vindicates his
right to be known as a judicial Buttercup. More?
over, if Coroner Martin's intention had been to
let one of the most dangerous men in this com?
munity go scot-free when be had every reason
to believe that the nilibili was guilty of murder,
he could not have adopted a course more cer?
tain to accomplish his end.
Tho large attendance of bishops and priests at
the consecration of Assistant Bishop Henry C.
Potter, at Grace Church, yesterday, was only in
part duo to the fact that the General Con?
vention of the Episcopal Church is now in ses?
sion in the neighboring city of Philadelphia.
The event at any time would have been certain
to call together a notable lot of clergymen
anxious to show not only their appreciation of the
Importance Of the elevation of one of their num?
ber to the anxious charge of this large diocese,
but also their high respect for Dr. Potter person?
ally. The consecration of this part i.nlai clergy?
man at this time ll indeed a significant event to
Kpiscopaliuns. It means, filially at least, an ad?
ministration of the affairs of this dioceee baaed
on the conservative principles of what is Known
muong old-fashioned churchmen as Dr. Hobart
chun hnianship ; and also hearty co-operation
with the other Kpiscop.il bishops of this Stale
I'.xtnmists of anj kind will se.- little encourage?
ment in it foi them. Under neb circumatancea,
therefore, it was only natural that tin- service
yesterday in Grace Church should be a notable
..ne. lt waa brilliant and dignified without
being in any unpleasant sense a religious
.spectacle. _
Every Republican should earnestly heed the
appeal of the State Committee, printed else?
where In to-day's. Tribuvb. Thi contest this
year will be clone. But if Republii ins registi r
and rote, there should be do doubt of the sue
Oeas of our excellent State ticket. The CaUSCS
for Republican discontent have been removed,
U. form, economy and retrenchment hnve
ia.nil.-d the progress of the party. Ii passed
tho Civil Service law, which is now
faithfully enforeed in all departments of
the Federal Government, lt? members
in the Legislature forced the Democrats
to pass a similar law. But they deferred its
opt ration u:n il the fourth of next January! in
order that tim places of all Republicans in
Stat.- offices might first be filled by Democrats,
providing they carry the state. Tin- diagrace
ful conduct of that puny in the Legislature, its
increase of taxation, and its surrender to Tam?
many Hull, hiive shown the danger that threat?
ens us if it again carries tin- Mute, liepublican
apathy can alone bring about that result. Are
th.- Republicans of this State willing to iee the
control of ita government go into tin- nanda of

Who does not remember how sonic people,
din ing the wai for the Inion, could sc- nothing
but the shoddy clothes ami paper -Inn-, the
bonni- -jumpers and the incapable generals, the
blunders ol' Congress and the little bell of Mr.
stanton.' But Chief-Justice Coleridge, a man
ol ian- ability iiml justice, looking hui. nt that
time of trial, -cs only thal a mighty Nation
th.-n became truly gnat and grand, nnd hy in
heroic devotion gav.- new honoi to the Anglo
Saxon name. Possibly, if we lift our eyi -
from the specks and daws, and take a broadei
mu v.-y of tin- times in which we Hm, we shall
find that then- is tome! liing in these also which
impartial history will remember when th.- frail
iii s nf tin- hour -!iall have been forgotten.
History will take notice, for instance, thai a
?? turbulent democracy,*1 flushed with the ci
orci-c of gigantic power in war, ami conscious
that nothing could resist ii- amis from Panama
to tin- Pole, has lived eighteen years in peuce
with all its neighbors, never once thinking ol
.-ion. Mme than a million veteran
soldiers, to whom the monotony and tie- toi
plait- were strange and wearisome at first,
hnve been absorbed into tin- body of the peo?
ple without a tingle attempt to embroil the
country in civil strife or foreign wnr. The
energy ami daring, the diacipliue and ]
i.; combined action, which oiade war terrible
and decisive, have achieved for the Nation
dilling eighteen yean of peace such triumphs in
aits and industries, sucli marvellous proj
in wealth and general prosperity ns no other
Nation lias c i made in a dmilartime. The
march of railways acroaa tin- continent and up
and down ;:!! over thc land, iii'- spinning of ila
electric spider's web in every nook and corner
of the country, the opening of min- ami wells
that have pom.-il forth wealth hy thc hundred
millions, the building of thousands of factoi i- -
iiml foundries, mill- and furnace*, a here ai mi. -
huger than tho one winch diabauded in 1865
are battling against want and conquering a new
world for ua every year?all these things will
appear, in thc cha', light <>f history, betti i wot th
ag than man] of the blot- ilia: mar the pic?
ture to our eyes.
lt will bc said of this present time, t. that
th.- administration of Government, National,
State and local, waa on the whole never more
faithfully performed. A peculation here ami
thiie seems ling.- to n>. hccaiisc We ai. close lo
it, but we should not bc blind to tin- strong
si ii ti m.nt ol iinh! ic vii tue, which ls swift to pun?
ish such offences, nor to lin-gem ral purit] ul
public service which almost everywhere pro
rails. An excellent test ia the steady reduction
of public Indebtedness. Not only lue United
States, which has been cnusing trouble by fl..
very rapidity of its debt-payment, b;it the
States,oountiee,cities, and town-, lane been
diminishing Indebtedness steadily foi some
yann, The streeta are no longer crowded with
agents to sell cit] bonds, and thc communitiet
that repudiate or shirk can no longer escape
tho sense of shame. Hen- and there bad m. n
get into office, but their own partisans are
lasaamed of them j here and thnroa oommnnity
is s.-i-n which has fail, d lo sci its affairs on au
honest and solvent baale, hut the evil is nu;
-pleading. ?
Then the people, also, have p.iss.-d thrungli a
severe connm-i. ial and in.lu-ii it! nial, thus far
[ with honor. The wild outcricb of " soft money''
nen were suppressed by resumption of specie
iayinont-1, a moral victory grander than the
Humph over rebellion?a victory such as no
>ther Nation un.br any fatal of government has
iver achieved. Hut then came a test even moro
leven, Pi-oapority raina thonaanda itmvnsA
-C-,-itv crnsiics hundred-*, and the crazy fever of
.peculation which broke out in 1879 threatened
o imdenniiie all industry and to disorder all
lommeree. But we have proof now that tho
neat majority of the people refilled to involve
hemselves beyond their ineans, or to incur new
I. ht- tn the haste to get rich. Tho inevitable
oUaptC of .-peculation, wht-ii it caine, found most

the soundness of bu-im-ss was never more se?

inoculative fever did not seduce ? large pait of
he people from the lobei path ol' patient indus
iy.
The country ls behaving itself well. Its trials
ind reverses only serve to show how solid is
ho Ionmhition on which its prosperity reeta,
,Ve have fashionable extravagance and social
foolishness- in lome qwutera, but tbe great body

THE WORD " OBEY."
[Ibm modem civilization outgrown the ti ?
the woi.l "obej " in th. marriagi service 1 I'<
cent reports from various, parts of this country
and Canada tend to thoa thal manj clergymen
regard the promise aa obsolete, an.I no longei
exact it. Certainly common experience shows
thal where the wor' i--till u-i-iI in- seldom If
e\.i taken s. linn Ij by cit he i poi ty to tbe con
nacl. Thegnj young nun nml women thai
n inally < lust, i aboui evi ry wi dding seldom fail
to have their sin.f Jokes al the Idea thal the
\m.m:n. who ic probablj nearly of the same age
with the man, probablj aa well educated, ami in
most cases far more intelligent In all matter*
touching family life, is to promise to B obej " him,
much as ihe might do il -lu were a little . kihi.
Probably few men t<> whom the promise is
mad.- in th.- man iago service nowadaya h. ai it
w it li. ni i an ancomfortable -a -hm- that they are In
rather an absurd situation. When the position
of w.an In -<>cii ty and in lit'.- was nol so s.1
a- it hu- Minc In,.( , a promise tu "obey " was
more natural than it is non when modern prot
ress has made thc woman the man'- equal,
and baa inspired in her a strong sense of Indi?
viduality and personal Independence, even aa
legiuds the man she loves.
Borne of the Boston clergymen have been ex?
pressing opinions on this,subject which un ul
considerable interest. Ko. I said; ?' I always

?'divorce may cause n it-turn to tba nae of thc
?? word ' oh.-y,' ,-o thai aa fai ss words and forms
"can make it the cercmonj should be more bind

??ami never intend to use it I cnn see no r.'a

" more than the husband the wife.*1 No. B i "1
"aim.ist always u-<- thc word 'obey,' bul hnve
" no especial n.ison to give for so doing." No.

u to ilo iJiiit..'' No. 81 -* I would ***** ?* ??t * -11 tl iu
? set myself up over tho Scripture, which says
??plainly that tho husband is tho muster."
Th"--- clergymen and others expressing similar
opinions represented all thc leading Protestant
denominations. A majority were against the
use of the word. Young women who aro ready
to love and honor, but do not propose to obey,
may fortify themselves accordingly.
"ATTRACTING VI RUC ATTENTION."
Mr. Wales asserts that he toted for the me?
nagerie Job in ord. r "to attract public attention
to thc question/' and it will be admitted that
h.-hil-nut with sinking success in stilling up
n general nttenfh.n to Turk matter*. Mr. Clim*
mina adda that he too by hi--vote Hintended to
call aft. tilb.ii " tollu- ineligibility o! the pro
poaed site, or, In other words, he roted b?r the
joh in order lo.1.-feat lt in some mysterious way.
Mr. OtUffe doesn't arnot to "pienatin matter
" until satisfied that the public approvea of the
"chang.-," although he confi-.-si-s thai be con?
siders the people unreasonable for making such
a violent protea! simply because the fairest por?
tion of the Park ls threatened with desolation
Jby this beastly intrusion. Mr. Olliffo, lt will be
reiiu inhered in parenthesis, is the one person
ont of flu-million orso on Manhattan Island
who is paid to stand between the parks and
possible harm. Hia salary ia *(h*S,000 per annum.
General Vide la IO bewildered by tho situation
that he has made no late statement of lils r.a
?004 for voting, though he makes bitter eoin
plaints of misrepresentation nod personal abuse.
Hut then it maree little difference why be nnd his
fellows voted for the outrage. The official fuot
stands thai they did vote for it, and the wild
beaeta have been ordered to emigrate to tho
" unimproved ground*1 north of the Reservoir.
No matter what Commiasmnere think ot the
people think. The city through it- chosen rcp
ii tentatives hat ordered the menagerie set up
wli.-ie it will destroy tin-idyllic beaut] of tho
loveliest vale iii the Park. Then-solution was
regularly and legally adopted, and until lt is
reacinded the Park ls menaced with destruc?
tion, and the people hive m. w,y lo prevent it.
Tin-city could not repudiate the Board's ac?
tion ll bear stables on I iel ic lal Vii-h \ jl'hila'h-l
pbla pattern were ordered to-morrow,
But consider the attitude of these officials.
II. re are men to whom is confided a public
tiu-t. Tiny ami tlu-y alone are empowered t>>
act in thia mattel for the city. And yet they
assert thal they consider a rote of theirs merely
tentative,- an experiment to seo how long the
people's forbearance can be trifled with. A
resolution of the l'.irk Board is not final, di f

out of every ten in certain stales, it was al?

subject baa also been broughl forward In other

in denominational j" un.its.
AB this argues a healthy condition of ?'? ?
in th.- churches, and will no doubt have a cer

members of their floch la to -hut an already
I dour, and one which they have little <h

among our lowest nnd mus* depraved classes,
who arc ap! to adjust their domestic differences
without the aid "f the law.
ll is in tile gu.if ina.-, of wi ll -to -do non

w belber .-ducat. .1 or Ignorant, thal divorcee are
moat frequent. The subjeel ls one of those
which, on the surface, brings foi ci hie arguments
on boih-id. s. For the divorce la nol always
tho reaonree of the licentious mau or woman
who, w.-ii i iel of one tie, wishes to lorin another,
or of shallow triflers to whom there ia no sacred
[neithei inarriageor motherhood, though
lt ii-.ial!> ls demanded bj oneoi the other. Hut
we all have known cases w In ie a weak woman
has loft, led under the weight of helpless ibil?
lin ii ami a vicious tyrant, until this desperate
resource became the only remedy, and one
which no man of .-oinmon sense and right fccl
ingcould iii ti\ ln-r.

or damnatory laws against it ia like dosing ?

Hie real evil lies in the false marriages whose

Divorces, we are told, are lesa common In the

"THEATRE VICES,
Tbe stago has its vices aa well as the audience,
One of the worst of them is the slovenly enuncia?
tion of many of the actors of the present day.
They do not pronounce their words with anythlnfl
approaching distinctness! they do not take the
trouble to speak loud enough to make all the audi?
ence hear. They mutter and mumble and shuffle ofl
their words as if they were in a hurry to get
through. Probably tho "combination" system,
with its demoralizing sameness, is largely respousi
hie fur this, though it ls sonietimes*seen among the
younger ineinhers of established stock companies,
Il is a refreshing contrast to this slipshod work,
when a well-trained actor?very often not a young
actor?nppears, articulation- his words distinctly,
and speaking in a tone, wheth.-r lower loud, that
carries them to every part of tho house. These care?
less players ought to tanawha** thut they ore ne?
glecting a detail which is ono of the hist requisites
of Slices'..
Another little stage vice which seems to be in
vogue now is that of actors reappearing to ac?
knowledge applause after an exit during the prog?
ress of a scene. This completely destroys the illu?
sion, and is in violation of all tho rules of tho art,
Yet lt has been seen during tho past week in one ol
the best of tho few stock companies in New-York.
As for the vices of audiences, thetr name is logion,
The people who come iu late, the people who tula
ah.nd, the people who talk in a sihillant wl.ispoi
that ls worse than talking aloud, the women wini
w SBI big hats, tho men who go out overy limo thc
curtain drops, climbing over a a hole row of persons
to do lt, and conn- hack with bar-mom odors cling?
ing about them ; tho people who tako seats they
are not entitled to, and cause confusion and nois.

the criminal classes in a theatre audience.
