at the hands of the younger generation at any
rate But the opposition increased with the
success. What had before been laughed at
and despised, now that it had become danger
ous was hated, and no stone was left unturned
TO neutralze the effect of these victories. But
it seemed that the courage and constancy
which had never fatercd in nearly thirty years
of the hardest kind of fighting were to meet
their reward. The young music-lovlng king
of Bavaria became his patron and warm per-
sonal friend and supporter. And now MS ala,

perfection of detail, and in an opera-hoiise

He has asked the world to come and judge
between himself and his critics and detractors.
Magnetism has come to fair trial at last,
and by the result of this trial must it stand or
fall.
1t is impossible from the accounts yet re-
ceived to tell just how far aristlcally, or IN
lust what directions these performances have
been successful. That they have been so sue
cessful, and in the highest degree, there can
be no doubt. The audience was not altogether
a friendly one. Enemies flockcd to Bayreuth
hoping to enjoy a fasco as friends came TO
take part in triumph, yet the applause ana
enthusiasm seem to have been universal, and to
have come from friend and foe alike. This work
is the perfect embodiment of Herr Wagners
theories, and its success is the success OF the
new school, of which he is the chief represcn-
tatiyc. That the work would lose in interest
if presented with less perfect accessories tlah
those which were commanded at Bayreuth Is
undoubtedly true. Indeed, this Is precisely
what Wagner himself argues. But that the
accessories alone, without the greatest merit
in the music, could create such enthusiasm III
an audience composed chiefly of the first mlsl-
clans and critics in the world is an impoSSl-
bility. For these reasons, then, we believe that
the test can now be considered conclusive
one and feel that the new school can no

Americans, rs n rule have a thorough adj
mirllion for pluck and perseverance, without
caring much in what kind of cause 1t Is
shown. When they see man who by sheer
force of Will has overcome obstacles appa-
rcnty iEsuimountabc, and triumphcd over
personal opposition of the most bitter and vlr-
ulcnt character, they are apt to sympathize
and appIaud. We have just witnessed what
is perhaps the most remarkable instance in
the history of art of Il triumph of this sort in
the production of Richard Wagncrs triIogy
mt Bayrcuth, and we ought to rejoice with HIM
in his success.
Wagner came mt time peculiarly unpro-
pitous for a musical rciormcr. The Italian
school, which has since proved his bittercst
opponent, seemed securely intrcnchcd IN pub
lie favor by long years OF successes. In Ger
many the influence of Beethoven was trans
ccndent and he was believed to have reached
the last word in music. The then recognized
methods in the lyric drama he had never in
any great measure attempted to modify,
and they were accepted as perfect. That
any one after him should pronounce
these methods radically false and absurd,
"a Herr Wagner did, was regarded as
himself was written down Il charlatan, an
empty prctcndcr, an iconoclast-iIcaycn knows
what else. And his oIicnses did not stop here.
He is a tremendous hand at a controversy, and
in that which he had raised he handled his
opponents without gloves The critics and
musicians of the old schools were ashast at
the contempt and scorn with which they were
treated by this young upstart, and conceived
n cordial hatred of him. soon he held the at
tention OF all musical Germany. He defended
his IDEAS with splendid tcmcrity and vigor.

their truth, and the Wagner school, so called,
became a fact But his troubles were bat

which he had created by his writings pre-
vented the production of his operas IN many
places, or their adequate representation where
given at all His early works were composed
before he conceived certain of his later
theories, and were not in accordance with
them; the variance in these works between his
own preaching and practice was pointed ont as
an evidence of the impracticabillty of these
theories. The cabals of the Jockey Club pre-
vented his TannhiuSer from obtaining a fail

In this country comparatively few people had

large reduction in bonds to secure circulation,
and in circulation, in loans, and in individual
deposits, and in United States certificates for
deposit of legal-tcndcr notes, while there has
been large increase in United States bonds

There was some talk that the Custom
house was going to revenge itself on Mr.
George William Curtis by keeping HIM out Oh
the State Convention. He was thus TO pe
taught that such behavior as tnat OF wlIlch ne
was guilty at the last Convention could not
be tolerated. But the gentlemen of the Gus
house probably realize what the general
public made up their minds to some time ago.
TO wit, that if the Republicans expect to WIN
this Fab they cannot indulge IN the luxury
of revenges. Certaiily the Republicans OF
Staten Island have learned the lesson, for
tbev have sent Mr. Curtis again, and have de-
clarcd in favor of some such nominee as MOI
gan OF Evarts. The choice OF Delegates Iio,n

at the South is considered. Even admitting tlat the
forces there not to be disturbed for the purpose
of supplying the frontier, there only about 900
troops available-only according to the books Of the
War Department, about 1873 companies. OF these,
20 companies of artillery are on the coast There
are also 90 companies of cavalry stationed in Texas
where there are al,o As companies of infantry Five
regiments OF infantry and one of cavalry are about
all the available force. This is the enormous army
which Gen. Sherman is ordered to hold in readiness
to keep the peace in eleven States. The Secrcarys
letter. therefore, have more than the effect Of
moral menace and the troops themselves cannot
add much to it. What is really accomplished is an
increase of irritation. uneasinoSs, ard indignation
among people not much relishing the idea that
they have been subjugated. The proposed policy
will make the angry somewhat angrier-it can do
very little more
