The temperance of Benjamin Disraeh as
the Prime Minister of England would under
any circumstances be q most interesting event,
for in his personality he is one of the most
interesting characters in history; but he
comes back to power as the leader Of reac-
tion-a revolution, as it were; and, il his
pledges mean anything he will give new life
and spirit to English government at home
and English craftsmanship abroad. The
meaning of the triumph Of the tories is that

champion Of this policy assumes an impor-
lance almost grotesque, for there is nothing in
his character or his intellect to justify MS in
anticipating the robust and iusty statesman

the 6rst duty of England. We can under
stand something of the new Ministry from

The penitential season of Lent with its
typical sackcloth and ashes will be bright
ened up this evening by an event to which
the music-loving public of New York look for
ward with interest and hopefulness. The
Strakosch Italian Opera Company, that by
the completeness of its ensemble more than by
the merits of any particular artist won the
hearty, earnest support and endorsement of
metropolitan opera-goers last fall appears at
the Academy of Music tonight in verdi's
last and most remarkable work, "AYda." The
production of this work in America, long be-
fore any OF the European imwesarii ventured
to present it, except in the cases of a few
Italian managers is q triumph for the cause
of lyric art here. The representative opera
houses of London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin
and ST. Petersburg, with all the wealth
Of lyric material and government sup
port at their command, must, in this
particular instance, yield to the superior en-
terprise shown at the New York Academy. No
opera of late years has attracted more atten-
ton and interest and provoked more discus
sion than the last work of Verdi European
critics speak learnedly and earnestly about its
merits, and in Germany some of the highest
musical authorities are divided into two
schools, one in favor of and the other opposed
to the new departure of the composer from his
we'll known style OF opera writing. Yet,
strange to say, no manager there had the en-.
terprise to furnish fitting illustration Of the
much-disputed question by producing the
opera. 1t was reserved for New York to be
the first city, after Cairo and few Italian
towns, to enjoy the privilege ofhearing and wit
Messing the opera, placed on the stage in style
corresponding with the efforts of our best
theatrical managers. Not content with this
sigma, evidence Of operate enterprise, Mr..
Strakosch proposes this season to bring out

the same condolences of ensemble and perfec-

The ALsATIAN DEPUTIES in the prussian

seeding from the legislative hall. They have
returned to Strasbourg. Imperial GERMANY
will no doubt treat this manifestation Of

We have repeatedly asserted in these
columns the feasibility of the production OF
large operatio works 1t the Academy of Music
with the same attention to detail as may be
found in the performance of comedies at
wallack's or the Fifth Avenue Theatre. Mr..
StrAkosch has made the experiment, and it
has proved an incontestable success. It only
remains for him and his successors to carry
out the idea in all operas, and not to descend
from the high standard Of art thus happily
inAugurated mth.1
An interesting feature of the forthcoming
season will be the farewell engagement of
Mime. Nilsson in America The magnetic
power exercised by the Swedish Nightingale
over The hearts of the American public by the
crystalline purity of her voice, the artistic
finish Of her vocal school, the intensity of her
dramatic Art and the complete absorption of
her individuality in each role she undertakes,
have been universally felt and acknowl-
edged. Whether it be the Gretchen of Goethe.

Lammermoor, with Donizetti's ford meas

sad. pitifal history and hoart-broken
melodies; the humble Mignon and
