It Is throwing away a cer tainty for an uncertainty, with the as surance that the uncertainty. If real ized, would, after all. he not a bit bet ter than the present certainty: and REDUCED. TRIPS AT RATES. The North-Western line Is now sell ing tickets at reduced rates to many tourist points in the western, northern and northeastern states and Canada. Any one desiring a summer trip would Mr. Richard Mansfield Is known to be a man wholly averse to publicity, and his arrest for riding a bicycle in front of the Casino, in the Central Park, and declining to get off his wheel when warned by the particularly good natured and benevolent policeman with a white beard who rules that district and is loved by nil the children who play there, must be deeply painful to Mr. Mansfield's sweet and sensitive nature. The officer seems to have been Impressed by the fact that the dis tinguished lecturer told him that Is was his the policeman's duty to get down on his knees when he. spoke to him lecturer Mansfield. But. in Mr. Mansfield's opinion, this attitude of genuflection Is one which all the world, from policemen to potentates, should assume when venturing to approach him. Surely, even under our system of democratic-republican self-government, genius ought to be allowed to enjoy certain privileges and Immun ities; and if anybody doubts that Mr. Mansfield Is a genius, just ask him. I think, too. that the captain or ser geant at the arsenal ought to have, in quired if Mr. Mansfield's wheels did not move unconsciously. Irresistibly, in spite of Itself or themselves or himself. Besides, it should be remembered that, in addition to blng a native of England, an Ulustrous lecturer .actor, and Ad miral Crichton, Mr. Mansfield used to be a dry-goods clerk in Boston, and therefore has a double extra right to be double, extra haughty. I wish to make an appeal to Mr. Reginald De Koven, not as a musician and a composer, but as a man and a friend of man. It appears that he has "completed, and is prepared to rehearse, "'his new opera. "The Mandarin." a ' work surcharged with Chinese noises and full of all the tumult of Pekln and Pell street. It Is creditable to Mr. De Koven that he should still pursue, even disrespect to Mr. Hllllard. I may be altolwed to say that Miss Yohe might have made, a more Impressive Van Bibber. Still, the man whom any In telligent manager would select as the fittest person to assume the respon sibilities Is Dr. Davis himself. He cre ated; he could best portray. Nobody but him ever saw or heard of an actual Van Bibber; Indeed, an actual Van Bibber would be likely to get his head punched, on account of his kindly In terest in the affairs of his neighbors. Nobody but Mr. Davis can understand Van Bibber. Miss Yohe could give the character voice. Mr. Hllllard may give it intelligence, but If he does he is wrong, for Van Bibber Is neither In telligent nor Intelligible. Only Mr. Davis Is capable of letting the world know what this remarkable, person Is and what he is for. I have said that if Mr. Davis was In the theatre, last night, the play must have been a suc cess. At the same time I must confess that I do not understand how the audi ence and Mr. Davis could, have got Into the theatre at the same time. with the odds, as universal experience do well to secure our figures before pur nas proveu, overwneimingiy against cnasing tickets elsewhere. the uncertainty ever being realized. ,. u . , ..

Honors and dollars pour upon him in full streams. His fame is great in the world of music and fashion; he is loved alike, by St. Cecilia and Mrs. Grundy; his cravats are the wonder and the despair of artists. Having, at a com paratively early age, made so much noise in the world having roamed like a troubadour with a notebook and a score, through Europe and America, culling their choicest flowers It Is nat ural enough that he should look for new worlds to conquer, and should wish to ransack the riches of the gor geous east. But this year the country has much to suffer. The populists, whether of Chicago or St. Louis, have a hundred thousand voices apiece, and use them remorselessly twenty-four hours a day. Think of all those voices and of all the banging of drums and tooting of fifes and clangor of Innum erable bands! Is this a year for Mr. De Koven to spring a battery of Chi nese gongs upo na public that has made him rich and famous? As he Is great, he, should be merciful. If he must produce a Chinese opera, why can't he go to the treaty ports, or Into the heart of China, and make the the further impoverishment of the poor. There cannot practically be two kinds of money In circulation. The. money of the rich and the money of the poor must be the same. The same money that the millionaire receives from his dividends or coupons he must pay out again to his employes and to tradesmen. If It be gold, or currency at par with gold, then the gold Is the money of the poor man as well as of the rich. If it be depreciated currency of silver or peper. It Is the poor man's and the rich man's alike. If by any chance "there be in existence two kinds of money, only one of them, and that the poorer, will be in actual circula tion. That Is a law as inexorable as the law of gravitation itself. The one-hundred-cent gold dollars would be hoarded by every man fortunate enough to possess them, whether the rich man, with a million of them, or the poor man. with a hundred; and the flfty-cent silver dollars would alone, be in circulation. What then? Depreciated currency being universal, who would suffer most now larger and finer than ever. Confec tionery always fresh; many novelties.
