THE ENGLISH OPERA.

In defiance of the unfavOrable weather quite a
large audience assembled last night at the little
theatre in Twenty third street to listen to Walace's
charming opera. 'Maritana." We might argue
from the large attendance that English, or, more
correctly Irish, OPERA has much larger class Of
admirers than might be judged from the infre-
quency Of the presentation of the works
Of such composers as Balfe and Wallace.
II is pity that the influence of fashion is stronger
than the attraction of merit; but then people are
naturally DESTROYS Of witnessing listening to
what they don't understand imagining that they
are thereby improved The delightful quality of the
music of Balfe and Wallace ought to obtain for 1t
more recognition than is given to it. Full of mel
ody and with the tinge of melancholy so character
istc of all Irish music, it appeals to the sympathes
OF the masses with more force and directness than
the more norid and pretentious compositions OF
Italy or the grander and more imposing music or
Germany. This was visible in the enthusiasm
which was awakened in the audience last night
Miss Emma HOwSOn in the role OF Mariana uuite
justified the good opinion which was formed of her
in the bohemian Grl.n Mrs. Zelda Seguin LaZa-
ro displayed finished vOcalization and. received
several times the well-merited applause OF
the audience. The Don Caesar de Bazan OF Mr..
Brookh0use Bowler was q great Improvement on
his first nights performance, and left little to be
desired. Mr.. Henri DraytOn sang, in the role OF
Don Jose, in manner to give entire satisfaction,
and as is usually the case this artist exhibited
much dramatic power in the rendering of his role.
and altogether, the entertainment was calculated
to give pleasure. On friday and Saturday nights
ezra Diavolon will be presented. Saturday matinee
will be devoted to the 'Bohemian Girl"

ana regular. These approach more nearly to
the true definition of monopolies; for some of
them, with sheaf of patent rights in their
safes, can forbid single additional shop to be
opened without their high permission, and
then only at ruinous royalty Such may be
said to be the sewing machine manu-
facture, and the difficulty Of the work.
ingmen to force surrender will be

believe that they can starve or tire the work.
men into coming back at what prices they
offer. The eight-hour movement, twill thus
be seen, has met its first check, and there is
no doubt that it will require all the nerve, cool
ness, patience and resources of the toilers to
combat the difficulty If they hope to succeed.
One fiery idiot has already rushed into print,
proclaiming his readiness to set factories ablaze
rather than fail-a announcement which
should induce his flying election from every
worklngmen's meeting he attempts to enter.
The readiness with which such Jacobin jacka-
napes undertake to speak for the men thew mis-
represent should warn oil peaceably disposed
citizens against them. The demonstration
made at Steinway's piano factory yesterday
morning is one to be reprehended. The
strikers must remember, in spite of the irrita-
ton caused, that the men who accepted the
rates of the piano man have law and the right
of the citizen on their side, even if in the
minds of the strikers their course is regarded
as cowardly. The moral force of the labor
movement is its only legitimate force, and
unless the unions and organizations graft this
fact upon their minds the sympathy extended to
them by the independent press and the public
will be speedily withdrawn. Before this first
stone wall which meets them they must never
forget that they are on trial before the COM
munity, which will condemn a tyranny of
labor as readily, perhaps more readily, than q
tyranny of capital.

An Important Invention.

A new and highly important application has
recently been made Of electricity for the pur-
pose Of measuring temperatures. The appa-
ratus designed for it is the work of Mr..
Siemens, +. r. S. BY means Of it the in
ventor was enabled to tell, in the testing cabin
of cable ship, the increasing temperature Of
the interior of the mass cable in the hold and
to prove that it was in danger of destruction
through spontaneous generation Of heat. But
this is only one of many uses to which it can
be put. 1t has been already used in the most
delicate operations of the blast furnace, and
also tor meteorological observations at very
elevated points. 1t will, no doubt also prove
admirably adapted to the difficult thermometric
observations in the deep sea- and it is, there
fore, to be welcomed as valuable ally OF sci
ence. 1t has been said by distinguished
rometer has led to the discovery Of new world
of knowledge, and this remark is eminently
true Of any instrument which will enable
physicists to explore the deep sea and detect
its various thermal and boreal currents, and
also to test the temperature of the atmosphere
at considerable elevations. Of the upper sur
face of the aerial ocean we know less than OF
the profoundest stratum of the aqueous ocean,
and until these mysteries are solved we cannot
arrive at the physical mechanism Of these two
grand constituents of our globe. England is
now fitting out a vessel to convey party of
scientists on four years cruise Of submarine
explorations and surveys, and no doubt the
modern instrumental contrivances for such
surveys will prove of as great value in studying
ocean physics as the spectroscope has proved
in the study of solar phenomena.
All the difficulties heretofore experienced
with deep sea thermometers seem to be over
come in the new instrument contrived by Mr..
Siemens.

The Street Car Cushion Question and
the Board OF Health.

So deeply has the mania of reform taken
and conservative class of beings who go to
make up Board of Health have been stirred
up into something like activity. Unfortu-
nately their new-found energy took q direction
not likely to increase the pleasure or con-
venience of travel in our city; and though we
are ready to give them credit for the very best
intentions, our afterthoughts are calculated to
interfere with that unruffied and equit-
able temper so necessary to the jour
nalist. We have woes enough to COM
plain of without any addition being
made to the number We find the
road of life hard enough to travel even
when we are supplied with cushions to break
the violence of the jolts and jars to which we
are hourly exposed Henceforth we must
look for no relief and the rumbling of car
wheels will become associated with thoughts
akin to those which the wheel and rack sug-
gested to the traveller in the Middle Ages. AS
we are called on to suffer in the cause of
general health we suppose we must submit
with the best grace possible, but as
last effort we would suggest the
propriety of the Board of Health
in some way modifying their decree
so that we may be able to go home in
peace without any fear of preliminary torture.
We are strongly in favor of cleanliness. and

The Strikers and Their First Check.


The eight-hour movement which has at
tanned such unexpected and sweeping success
up to the present seems in some instances to
have been brought to standstill in its i'm
pingement against that class of capital which
has copious reserve of money behind it and
dull season before it. This is scarcely other
wise than could be expected. In the first rush,
which captured the building trades for the
movement, the toilers had foe in straitened
circumstances, to whom inaction in the face Of
time-contracts would bring enormous losses.
As the movement spread it was seen that the
force of the first great coup de main had forced
q capitulation from numerous trades, all more
or less bound up in busy season,
and whose bosses were not Individually
strong enough monetarily to resist the
demands of labor. With these strongholds
captured there yet remained others, the most
formidable of all, because they represent the
great aggregations of capital which, in the
slipshod phrase of the day, are called monopo-
lies With any Of these, where the so-called
monopoly is merely powerful manufacturing
corporation, used to meeting the exigencies of
the market, the toilers have long and tedious
struggle before them Many of them, indeed,
represent instances where whole interest is
combined to direct and control the market
down to well-gauged limit to the production,
so as to keep un pricaa and max" nrofta snre

would be willing to make very great sacrifices
tosee such regulations adopted as would secure
Its enforcement but we want the necessary
and the agreeable to be combined SO that
the latter shall enter as much as possible
into the arrangement.
Many months ago we advocated measures
70 secure propriety on the street cars;
put we fear that in converting the Board
OF Health we have made them too
violent and too radical Resolving to make
sweeping change they issued decree
abolishing car cushions, but taking no means
to insure proper substitute which would secure
ease as well as cleanliness. 1t is really too
bad that reforms of this nature should be
carried out at the expense Of our comfort
and some provision ought to be made which
would compel the companies to adopt a
pleasanter kind Of seat than the hard board
system furnishes. The Commissioners ought
not to indulge in jokes on such large scale
as to set all New York riding on rails. This
is kind of punishment which might now and
then be inflicted on delinquent politicians
with advantage, but as health measure APP
piled to whole population it is rather radi-
cal. 1t appears to us that compromise could
be effected likely to give general satisfaction
by the adoption of cane seats and rests. They
would effectively meet the argument about the
danger of infection, and would be cool and
agreeable. If the Health Commissioners are
really acting for the benefit of the people let
some provision of this kind be inserted in the
regulations; otherwise they will compel the
citizens in self-defence to travel around
with private cushions; and as it is evident
the Commissioners of Health are not inter
why they should infict this inconvenience on
their fellow citizens.

The streets and the New street Clean
ing Bureau.

Arrangements are not yet completed for the
commencement of operations under the new
law which gives the control of the street clean
ing business to the Police Commissioners.
What will be done with the present contract is
not yet decided; but it appears certain that at
an early day the new bureau, under Police
Captain Thorne, will take the work in hand.
Now, we have repeatedly complained of the
manner in which work was done, or rather
left undone, under the old system; and, while
we wish to give every encouragement to the
new brooms, we shall keep vigilant watch
for negligence or shortcomings. With o

The desolation is widespread and the suffering
extreme. Forty thousand persons have been

abuse, we care nothing; but to the cheers
which. according to the report, followed his
offensive and insolent allusion to the Trent
affair we cannot afford to be Indifferent 1t
was most indecent allusion, and the cheers
which it called forth reflect anything but
credit on the members of the upper house OF
the British Parliament We can afford to
overlook Lord John, but we cannot overlook
or lightly esteem the fact that the sentiments
expressed by His Lordship are largely shared
by the aristocracy Of England. AS we have
said already, if the debate of Tuesday last
should prove the ruin of the Gladstone Minis
try il will be no affair of ours; but we can no
longer refuse to admit that the eyes of our
government should be opened and that action
on our part should be worthy of ourselves and
! equal TO the occasion.
What should orr government now do? The
question is not difficult to answer. Let Secre-
tary Fish declare of once that we have done all
we can do III the direction of making an ami
cable settlement Of all outstanding difficulties
possible Let President Grant reveal some of
his old pluck and put down his foot as he was
wont to do in days of old. Why should we
court England and keep coaxing her to settle
this question? What have we to gain by the
carving out of the Washington Treaty which
we cannot gain by a dignifed and patient
policy of delay? If England can wait surely
we can wait. Delay which can hardly be
gain to England, cannot fail to be gain to us
England can do us no harm. The settlement
of this treaty will not make us one penny tn
richer: Its failure will not make us one penny
