Cochrane. John has opposed and supported
every party that has existed for thirty years,
and with degree of enthusiasm that has no
parallel in history. He has loved this bant-
ling as if he really believed in it. He has
sustained it with an eloquence that, Like Ten
nyson's brook, seemed to go on forever and
forever. 1t has been his joy, his hope. his
dream. He has travelled, walked, written,
spoken, sung, shouted, cried for it, and now 1t
passes away, and nothing remains for John
but to wander, like Lear, on the heath and
mourn over the ingrattude of his children,
who have abandoned him to the storm. If
John Kelly, the Tammany Boss OF Tom Muir
ply, the Custom House Boss, have a remnant
OF charity in their souls, they will take care
of John. He has life and energy enough left
to secede from both of these parties yet, and it
is a waste of the finest political material now
unemployed not to give him another opportu-
nifty. All we can say of the liberal republican
party, in this our word of sad farewell is that it
might have been worse, and then again--

The Tyndall Controversy.

1t was scarcely to be expected that the
remarkable lecture of Professor TyndaN which
now excites the attention of the scientific
world would be allowed to pass without wide
and deep discussion. Our Princeton CORE
spondent sends Us the report of an interview
with DR.. James McCosh, the President of
Princeton College, a scholar Of distinguished
piety and learning, who may be said to repre-
sent the orthodox school of thought in the
United States. The Doctor compliments Pro-
lessor Tyndalrs manner Of research, but dis
putes his philosophy. Furthermore. he as
serts that the Professor misunderstands the
position Of the ancient philosophers, and he
alludes to the fact that hundreds Of years be-
fore Christ Confucius had assailed the ma
terialism Of the Brahmins, and that others
beside Confucius claimed that behind nature
was ''an intelligent designing cause This
was shown by the Greeks, and the grand and
noble truths advanced by Socrates have never
yet been overturned.
The Doctor does not deny the theory Of
evolution, which be contends would be equiva-
lent to denying Holy Writ Science, properly
considered, shows a most interesting analogy
between nature and revelation. This argu-
ment the Doctor presents with force and elo-
quence, showing that in all forms Of nature
there are divinely controlling laws While
the marvellous indications Of nature do
not of themselves prove living and
personal God they prevent us from believing
that we are the mere sport Of chance, or that
1--WE may be crushed beneath the chariot
wheels OF stern and relentless fate, moving
on without design and without end" It is
difficult not TO accept the conclusions at which
the Doctor arrives, although the process of
his reasoning, as we'll as that Of Professor
Tyndall, is too purely philosophical and SCI
entific to be decided hastily. There has been
no more important discussion for century,
and We welcome every contribution to our
knowledge upon the subject. especially from a
scholar as eminent and thorough as the Presi-
dent Of Princeton.

problem, serious enough in this shape, we are
asked by our correspondent to consider the
wisdom of an alliance with Russia and Eng

commerce. We do not crave such alliances.
There was one proposed in Mexico some years
since, and what sad end came to it We

The Liberal Republican Party.

The grotesque organization called the lib

was q brief and solemn meeting and Cen
eral Jones, of Brookyn-if any of our readers
have ever heard of such man-offered reso-
luton virtually surrendering the whole con-
Germ into bankruptcy. BY the terms Of this
resolution the Convention declined to make
nominations for State officers, but recon-
mended the party to vote for honest men.
Unkind critics might read this as an intima-
ton that, having no honest men of their own
to spare, they recommended their followers to
look elsewhere. But we will not make this
as any other, only it wanted money and votes.
So goes our dear departed liberal move

without triumphant hopes of joyful resurrec-
ton. We have solemn and tender thoughts,

Tho Irish Challenges Answered.

We publish in another column reply from
Colonel Wingate, as secretary of the Amateur
Rifle Club, to the challenge of Major Leech.
inviting the American team to visit Ireland.
The letter is unsatisfactory, in SO much that it
evades the question at issue. There was no
need 10 inform the public that it would be in-
convenient Tor the members of the American
team, or some of them. to visit Ireland in
June, but it is scarcely possible that the repre-
sentative rihemen of America would be pre-
vented from crossing the ocean by the mere
question of expense. It does not follow that,
because the funds at the disposal of the Anna
teur Rifle Club are restricted at the present
moment, the means to defray the expenses
of an international match would not be forth
coming if the project were once fairly before
the country.
1t does not look well for the representative
rifle club Of America to plead poverty in q
case of this kind. 1t looks too much like an
effort to shirk O new contest We could
understand the unwillingness Of our rihemen
to expose themselves to defeat if they believed
their victory the result Of chance rather tnan
superior skill. But in order TO place their
position beyond suspicion in this matter they
should accept the challenge All true sports
men will desire the best men to win. Ii the
closely contested victory of Saturday was
merely the result of accident then it is better
it should be reversed. Other challengers
might be answered as Colonel Wingate
answers, but not the defeated irish team.
They demand reua1,che with changed
conditions, and in courtesy the American
Club is bound to accede to their wishes.
There need be no fear that money will not ba
found to carry out the project if once adopted.
Friendly competitions of this kind should be
encouraged. We hope that in future no year
will be allowed to pass without its interna-
uonal match to heighren and intensity the
interest in this admirable sport The Sharpe's 8
Arms Company. in promptly accepting MI.
Rigby's challenge to new test OF rifles, has

Tho Opera Outlook.

The opera at the Academy of Music has
become . question Of vital interest to
the public Of this city. Italian opera-once
a subject of ridcule, or, at the utmost, Of
doubtful interest," to the people of New York
has gradually worked its way into their
special favor. The metropolis abounds in
places of amusement, among which may be
reckoned the best dramatic houses in the
world Old and new comedies are now pre-
ensemble that is certainly commendable in
every sense of the word The opening of the
Italian opera season on Monday night COM
paratively uninteresting though it may be in
an artistic point OF view (for what interest can
musicians nowadays have in an opera like
''La Traviata2"), was atteuded by very many
people who must be regarded as representing
the principal connoisseurs in music in New
York. There was one notable success-that
OF Mile. Heilbron's impersonation Of the title
role. Many attractive features are promised
for the forthcoming season, and the mana
gerial prospectus is full of novelty and interest.
Tonight large number Of artists make their
bow in verdis last and really most effective
work, Aida" in which the first great sue
cess OF last seasons repertoire was made.
OF course it would be premature,
despite the Hatterlng accounts conveyed
hIther from the European press, to
speak of the calibre of the new Italian
opera company, when only one principal
artist has been heard here. However, the new
operas are calculated TO attract attention.
Such Works as "Ruy Bias" "Iomeo and
Juliet and "The Flying Dutchman" express
very wildly the modern phases OF the Italian,
French and German schools. Marchetti,
Gounod and Wagner may be considered as
the lyric caterers par e1ceIlence Of this season.
There is one circumstance 10 be taken into
account In connection with Italian opera this
season. The successful effort made last spring
to present great work In style corresponding
with the efforts Of our comedy managers has
! led the public TO expect great things In !his
line for the future Mr.. Strakosch has put
his shoulder TO the wheel and has placed him
sci: in position in which no backsliding is
permissible. The magnificent ensembles Of
Covent Garden, Drury Lane and Paris have
been tavorably inaugurated, and now the
public at the Academy will! call for them again.
Thorough efficiency IN every detail Of an
operate representation will be henceforward
regarded as the test OF management Stellar
attractions without the appropriate concomi-
tants will fall without effec. upon the public.
The Academy Of Music must be entirely re-
formed, as far as the stage is concerned to
bring success to the manager The prospectus
of the present season promises as much. Let
as see how far such fattering hopes viii be
carried to fulflment.
