Italian Oncrn In New York.

No American journal has more earnestly
and persstentiy advocated the introduction
and establishment Of Italian opera in the
United States than the NEw YORK HERALD
IL has heartily welcomed all the FIRST class
operatc artists who have arrived here in full
possession of their voices and the other gifts
and accomplishments entitling them to dis
tinction. In some cases it has been fortunate
enough TO make the earliest announcement
Of talents which have subsequently won a
European and worldwide reputation. But
II has been for a long time compelled to regret
the decline Of Italian opera decline directly
attributable to gross rnismanagemcnt. This
deplorable misfortune is by no means the fault
of our musical public, whose taste and know
ledge have steadily improved until their stand
ard of excellence is higher than ever. That
their liberality has kept pace with their quick
ened appreciation and their rapidly increasing
wealth Is manifest from the prodigious success
OF the rehearsals and concerts of the Philhar-
monic Society during the present season. The
object of this society is to bring out in the
most effective style the best works Of great
composers Two private and three public re-
hearsals precede each concert. Three con-
certs have been given this winter, presenting
successfully the Heroic Symphony Of
Beethoven. the Fantastic Symphony Of
Berlioz, symphony Of Haydn, LISTS
symphonic poem, "on the Mountain Beetho-
vens unique concerto for the violin and one
OF his concertos for the pianoforte, and Men
delssohn's Reformation Symphony" toge-
ther with two parts from an unfinished sym
phony, full of sweetness and strength, by
Schubert. Three more concerts, with their
accompanying rehesrsals, remain to be given.
DR.. sDoremus, the president Of the Phhar-
monic Society, has made 1t fashionable and
popular to such degree that he can well
afford to take no notice Of the il-naturcd surs
upon him in which certain journalists have
lately indulged. The success Of the Philhar-
monic concerts and of the concerts Of Theodore
Thomas, and, we may here add, of Monday
nights brilliant representation Of ''Gcuevieve
do Brabant," sufficiently indicates how quick
to appreciate and how liberal to reward excel
lcncc our musical public has become. Il Ia

CHURCH AND CoRpoRATroN.-Th old phrase,
Church and State" which had been supposed
obsolete In this republic, must now be read
Church and Corporation" in New York city !;
otherwise why should the Board Of Assistant
Aldermen have added on Monday donation Of
nearly two hundred dollars to the Macdougal
street Baptist church to their long and prepos-
ferrous list OF donations to city churches? ?
Complaints have been made that these dona-
tons have heretofore fallen somewhat inordi-
nately to the share Of Catholic churches.
But how are either Catholic or Protestant
churches entitled to them in a country where,
theoretically at least, = complete separation
exists between Church and State2

THE GovERSoR's CHANCE. The Governor
may do something practical for the democracy
Of this city by vigorous exercise Of that sort
Of good will that ''cuts to cure" He should
remove every democratic Office holder that he
can get his hands on for any delinquency.
Thus the democrats could see the limit of their
power, and they would govern themselves ac
cordingly. AT present they believe they are
supreme, and so act withou. regard to the right.
Finding officer after officer removed they would
see the necessity Of electing men against whom
the Governor could find no reasons, and this
would prevent that reaction against them that
viii otherwise be their ruin.

Metropolitan Improvemcnts-Thc Future o.
New York.

General viele's report to the Mayor Of tho
city on our markets, which we published yes
terday, is an able one and full of practical and
useful information. The wretched and filthy
condition of some Of the markets, the dilapi-
dated state Of the buildings, the want Of suifi-
cient accommodation, the inconvenient loca-
ton Of some and the necessity of more in
suitable parts of the city are all ably set forth.
The improvements recommended are those Of
skiful engineer, who has thoroughly studied
the subject and who takes q comprehensive
view of the growth and great future of the
metropolis. The city government and the
Legislature of the State should act upon the
suggestions of General viele at once and
commence a system of improvements that will
be a credit to New York and make the people
proud of their city.
The downtown markets were made and To-
Gated for the city when 1t was a village com
pared to what 1t is now, and those that have
been established higher up since the city be-
gan to develop its wonderful growth have not
kept pace with the wants of the population.
In fact as General viele shows, some are
disgrace TO the city and the whole are made
quate TO its wants. Two difficulties appear TO
have laid In the way Of market extepsion and
improvement-thc hostility Of tho old market
men and their vested interests and the stu
pidity and want of broad and comprehensive
views in our city authorities and the State Leg
slaturc. But the time has come when neither
the old fogy marketmen, with all their wealth,
lobbying and political influence, nor the mar
row-minded stupidity Of the City Council or
Legislature can stand in the way of necessary
improvements. The people of this great
metropolis will demand them. The destiny of
New York in grandeur and beauty cannot be
arrested by the supposed interests of class
or the want Of comprehension and taste in our
grogshop politicians.
But there are other improvements needed
besides those Of the markets TO make the city
what IL ought TO be. Within twenty-five
years New York and its immediate surround
ings--which form, in fact, our metropolis
have population Of three millions. Yes,
within that time IL will be the second city in
the world, and In less than fifty years 10 will
be the flrst-will DO moro populous, grander

CAST is well known that there is good
deal of gas let off in the Albany Legislature
but it is to be hoped that the members who
have taken the investigation of the affairs Of
the gas companies in hand viii not let them
off simply with puff or blow. The swind-
ling to which the public has been subjected by
these companies is no light matter, although
it is clearly-or rather, we may say, dimly-a
matter Of light. Let the Legislature, then, keep
its gas for some other questions, the railroads,
for example, which need some illumination,
and go at the gas companies with full head
of steam. Now that the resolution asking for
a committee to investigate the affairs Of these
atrocious monopoles has passed the House let
the Speaker nominate the committee at once.

road ring and subsidy bond jobbers and lobby
jobbers achieved a small victory on Monday
by the passage of their bill in the House Of
Representatives authorizing the Northern Pa
cific Railroad to issue bonds. That il one
a bill guaranteeing the payment Of the interest
on said bonds, and the third step viii be the
passage of law to pay the principal, what
ever the amount may be-one or one hundred
millions. The people, however, have faith in
General Grants sagacity and determination TO
scatter the lobby and all other Congressional
manipuators

The New. from Cusa.

The intelligence from Havana published to-
Day in our telegraphic column is of very i'm
portant character 1t will be seen that Count
Valmaseda, who is operating In the Eastern
Department, has been forced TO send a portion
of his column to ST. Jago to save that city
from capture by the Cubans. while from the
Central Department there is significant in
action on the part of the Spanish troops. A
new and formidable movement has broken'out
in the Villa Clara district, involving all the
sugar region of Clenfucgos and Trinidad AT
Cardenas several arrests have been made, In
cluding the British Consul. But the appear
ance of insurgents at Guanajay and San Girls
tobal, places west of Havana which have
hitherto been quiet, and the advantages OBJ
tanned there over the Spaniards are OF great
significance They prove that the revolution
has acquired new impulse, and Indicate that
it will speedily involve all Of the Western De-
partment.
The feeling of hatred between Cubans and
Spaniards is acquiring greater intensity,
and the youth are leaving the towns to take

dark side for our own citizens resident in
Cuba, and a representation has been sent to
Washington stating that Americans are being
arrested, but no measures can be taken in
their behalf because Captain General Dulce
denies to the Consul General Of the United
States diplomatic functions. Our latest tele-
gram reports that the Consul may be forced TO
leave Havana, and that, while American citi-
zens are being arrested without charges against
them, distractions are placed by the govern
ment In the way of others who wish to
to leave the island. We trust that the
Cabinet at Washington will take this matter
into immediate consideration, and issue in
structions to Admiral Hof, now at Havana, to
see that injustice is not done to our citizens
there. 1t is no time to refer wrongs three
thousand miles across the Atlantic to Madrid,
where no actual government exists. In the
absence of instructions from Washington Ad-
miral Hoff will do well to remember that the
country expects him to do his duty in the
premises with the same spirit which animated
Ingraham in the Kosta case. We would sug-
gest to General Grant that the Office Of Consul
General at Havana has for long time been
administered by a clerk of the State Depart
ment and it will be well to have Consul
General ready to send to Havana very soon

THE CRUISE OF THE HENRIETTA yacht
Henrietta, with General Van Allen and party,
is on her return from the delightful winter trip
in the West Indies that has been chronced
from time to time. This kind Of trip win
doubtless grow in favor with the owners of
yachts, as it points to q most delightful way
Of passing what otherwise must be dead
season to those who cultivate the finest of
aquatic sports. The American archipelago
does not yield in natural beauties to the
storied lands and waters of other climes. and
it cannot be seen save by the traveller who
goes In his own vessel. The coming year will
be very active one with yachtmen. Several
yachts will visit Europe In the summer, and,
laden with the honors they will win there,
some will perhaps round up the year with a
winter in the West Indies.

Who Is AT THE HELM?--The old salts who
navigate the waters Of New York Bay propose
to pilot the vessels Of the shipowners through
the intricacies and narrow places Of our bar-
Dor upon terms which suit themselves, which
they consider to be as fair and square as when
they are running before the wind The Ship
owners Association, meantime, are cndcavor-
ing 10 pilot the old salts through the crooked
channels Of Albany legislation. Both parties
are being heard before the Legislature on the
amended Pilot bill but as the shipowners are
more in their element in Albany than Off
Sandy Hook, or ''off Shore" it's probable that
they are at the helm just now, though the
pilots are making good fight for the mainte-
nance Of the pr~sent rates OF fare and their

THE NEW SYSTEM AND THE New MAN.
Under Grant the qualification to Office is to be
the ability and the readiness to perform its
duties. Grant will observe such standard
in his own appointments, and this will become
the keynote Of the administration; so that
his subordinates chosen on this standard will
choose their subordinates in the same
way. Thus we shall have the Post Office and
the Custom House managed with view to
their proper purposes. In the Custom House
this is particularly necessary, and the abuses
that the new man will be called upon to reform
are very numerous. That there are such
abuses is not a rcproach to past collectors, and
especially not to the present one. The great
necessity has been President who would sus-
tain the Collector in honest efforts. Smythe
and others had not this stanch support, but
the next man will have it.

ODoRoUs. are sometimes assured that
the finest perfumes are made from substances
the most offensive to the human nostrils. If
this be true we are positive that in the mar
kets of this city and their surroundings there
is the equivalent Of one ton of the ottar Of roses.
The markets at this rate would be valuable
past all computation to any manufacturer
Of perfumery, and we wish such person
would buy them and carry them away to his
laboratory in the country.

The CONSTITUTION TINKERs-A HIToH.-
The constitutional amendment passed by the
House was not satisfactory to the radicals Of
the Senate, and SO they passed two new
amendments, and these being rejected by the
House the subject has been referred to joint
committee of conference. The upshot will
probably be no amendment Of any sort, or q
milk-and-water compromise that will not
damage the republican ticket in the Connecti-
cut election. The radicals want lesson in
Congress, but they do not want Butler; so we
cannot tell what they are to do.

sion for popular alarm in regard to the disease
that this worm causes. He only afilicts the
eaters of raw pork. Cook well thy swine's
flesh, therefore, O American citizen Of Ger

round we shall see at the polls tremendous
saughtering Of the judges who have dared on
the bench to assert the supremacy of the law
against certain Of the villanous elements Of
political power; and that villany should TINS
have 1t In It's power to strike back is scandal
to our institutions. Let the tenure Of judges
be put on another basis than that Of popular
approval, with all Its abuses. Let the judges
be once more appointed and hold during good
behavior.

manifestly ripe for the revival of italian opera
on an unprecedented scale.

manifestly ripe for the revival of italian opera
on an unprecedented scale.
But its demands are infinitely more exacting
than they were fifteen or twenty years ago,
when there were but few theatrical and still
fewer operate attractions. 1t can no longer
be satisfied by the importation of faded and
played-out European celebrities 1t wants to
hear the Missions and PATHS of the day in tie
fulness of their prime, and it is both able and
willing to pay lavishly for the pleasure. II
will insist, moreover, upon the Indispensable
ness Of what has never yet been enjoyed in
this country-a complete and thoroughly
trained Italian opera stock company. The ad
vantage of an excellent stock company has
been conspicuous at Wallack's theatre and in
connection with the production OF operas b0utes
at the French theatre. Without securing
similar advantage Italian opera cannot be es-
tablished on permanent basis. With it and
with stars of the Patti or Kellogg order and
with managerial genius like that of Grau
italian opera might winter gloriously in New
York and make profitable summer excursions
to the watering places and throughout
'the provinces" Furthermore, however, it
would require home in our metro
polls that should be in every way worthy
of it and of the latest improvements in modern
architecture. 1t could never be domiciliated
at the dismal misnamed Academy of Music"
to which bad luck clings like curse.
To insure the revival of Italian opera in
New York it must at once be taken out of the
hands Of inefficient managers and Bohemian
wire-pullers. Men Of vast capital as well as
Of acknowledged taste and intelligence and
high social position-such men as our Astors,
our vanderbilts, our Belmonts, our Steb-
binses-would find at the present moment .
most favorable opportunity for becoming pub
lie benefactors by reviving and establishing
Italian opera in accordance with the condi-
tions which we have pointed out as indispen-
sable. But it would first be necessary for
them to wrest 80 fine an opportunity from the
greedy hands which are already grasping it.
This is too noble an enterprise, and the public
is too deeply interested in it to suffer it to be
confiscated by Wall street adventurers to their

such manipulations as convert other financial
schemes Of interruptions spectators into gilt
tering but delusive bubbles. An overissue Of
musical notes would prove as fatal as an over
issue Of railway bonds. An artificial surplus
of tenors, bassos, sopranos and altos suddenly
thrown upon the market would inevitably de-
termine fall in opera stock. Fluctuations Of
this kind can only be avoided by lifting opera
wholly out of the quagmire of fancy stocks
and planting it firmly on solid capital.
