Death OF Speaker Kerr.

The announcement Of the death of Speaker
Kerr, although it has been anticipated for
weeks, and even for months, will be read
with profound regret by all Of his country
men. In many ways he had endeared himself
to the people Of the United States. 1t was
known that under cold exterior he carried
warm heart and On almost impulsive ma
ture No man was truer in his friendships.
none more ardent in any cause which he
espoused, and none more earnest In seeking
to know his duty and in doing it. He was
not man to conceal his opinions to gain
votes or to fail in his duty lest he should
lose friends. AS democratic leader he had
comparatively little influence upon tho
fortunes of his party, but had ho en-
tered upon his Speakership in health
and lived to enjoy that good age which
his earlier years seemed to promise he
might have made IN important figure
in our history. AS it is he leaves o bright
memory behind him. His public career is
without blemish. His honesty was proven
bial, his public acts were pure and straight
forward and his ambition was unselfish.
Nothing that was mean or trucking or cow
ardly was ever imputed to him, and when
the tongue Of slander impugned the recti-
tude of single act in his public life his
vindication was immediate and complete.
Disease interposed to snatch from him tho
enjoyment of his we'll earned honors, and
death came through much suffering. AS he
lay in agony through all the bright days of
summer he saw the bright world, which he
knew had still much in store for him could
he have lived, slowly fading from his sight,
and resignation which must be regarded as
his crowning glory. His example is all the
brighter because in its personal and domes-
tic aspects his life was noble as his public
career was pure and unsullied

Tammsny and Anti-TammaDy.

We believe we are not premature in an
nouncing that the negotiations between
Tammany Hall and the opposing wing of
end. 1t is not oven certain that the commit
tees of conference will again meet, and in
reality there was no hope of agreement from
the beginning. The purposes of the rec
onciliation were such that the people
could have no real sympathy with them,
and throughout the proceedings it must be
confessed that the Tnmmany leaders ex-
hibted spirit of concession seldom shown
in that quarter. 1t is not to be expected
that Tammany Hall will voluntarily yield
up its power, or SO much of it's power as to
give it o secondary place in the affairs of
the city. To compel it to do this it
must be overcome at the polls, and
this is precisely what the anti Tam
many leaders did not propose to do.
BY n compromise John Morrissey sought to
obtain for himself that which John Kelly
would not give him without it, and to give
John Kelly TINT which it is not certain he
can get at the polls. The whole thing, then,
appeals to the public in the light of politi-
cal bargain, but in political bargains there
ought to be something like fairness as we'll
as in faro bank. In such case the
negotiations naturally turned upon
the basis of representation in the
approaching State Convention; but this was
also understood to apply to the division of
the city and county Offices. Morrissey de-
manded one-half Kelly stopped short at a
third. Morrissey said anti-Tammany was
party and in n partnership was entitled to
share on equal terms with Tammany while
Kelly said anti-Tammany had only one
third as many votes as Tammany, and
could not expect to share upon
any other basis than that of its voting
strength Neither side would recede, and
so thoy agreed to disagree, and the great
powwow ends only in heartburnings and
resentments. If the real rs we'll as the pro-
fessed object Of the conference had been to
secure harmony in the party on State and
national issues it would have been entitled
to respect; but nobody can care much for
movement which is only intended to get
official plunder out of Tammany Hall.

tion which Mr.. Tilden occupies at present.
Such chances do not come to man twice,
and Judge Church's recent political associa-
tions have not been such as to make him
desirable candidate. Allen G. Beach
would like the nomination, and the entente
coriiale has been restored between him and
Mr.. Tilden, but the conspicuous political
blunder he perpetrated last year makes him
an impossible candidate in this election.
There is one other gentleman, whose name
we have reserved for the last because there
is so much to be said in his favor. We mean
Mr.. Clarkson n. Potter, democrat Of char
ncter, integrity, ability and accomplish
ments, who has never been mixed up in any
fight of factions, who rendered long and
faithful service in Congress until he declined
u reelection, who is respected alike by
political associates and political opponents,
is an able lawyer, statesman of liberal and
enlightened views, n model citizen and q gen.
tleman of popular manners. At the demo-
cratic conference at Saratoga two weeks ago,
consisting of about three hundred democrats
talked of with great favor as among the
strongest candidates for the Governorship,
and his friends were grntifed to find that he
is rs esteemed and popular in Western and
Northern New York as he is Mt this end of
the State. Potter and Dorsheimer would
make q ticket strong in ITSELF and one that
would perfectly harmonic the party.

''The Ring OF the Nihclungen."

week of remarkable musical interest is
that which has just closed with the crowning
ofWagner with a wreath of laurel. For at least
a score of years it has been the custom to scoff
ut the great music drama on which Richard
Wagner was engaged, and during oil that
time the emusic Of the future" has been re-
garded as charming nbsurdty. Few of us
would admit the possibility of the produc-
ton of the "Ring Of the Nibelungen" ut all,
and We have all had our jokes at the expense
of the artists if it ever should be produced.
While we worshipped at the shrines which
Donizetti and Rosini and Verdi had set
up We laughed at Wagners ideal perfection
and secuted the notion of dramatic consis-
tency in music. The reason of all this was
simply that we were mad with melody.
We could not endure an opera that was
too far above tho level of the street singer
and the variety artist. Conceal it rs we
may, the aria in operate music is akin to
the ballads of the street and the airs of the
black and white minstrels. The ''Casta
form of the "Mulligan Guards" 1t is at
best only an approach to dramatic music;
but it is not its dramatic character, but its
kinship to ballad music, that has made us
receive it SO tumultously. There is no art
in the aria, and its place in opera has always
been the expression of the absence of the art
idea in the works Of the composers. Mr..
Wagner's success is the first real step toward
its abolishment and the substitution of
music dramatic in form, in scope, in aim
and in expression for the crudities and in
consistencies which come and 60 with the
lyric efiigies Of the operatic stage. 1t is idle
longer to talk of the impossibilities of the
Wagner IDEAL of the uselessness Of voices in
the whirl of his Instrumentation and of the
incompatability of his theory with dramatic
and musical capabilities. His success DEM
onstrates the truth of oil the great master
of modern music has ever claimed. 1t is
true the boys cannot whistle his music in
the streets as if his work were the art of
Auber or Offenbach. True art is never within
the common reach. Painting would soon
fall into insignifcance if the chrome paste
boards were held in equal esteem with the
elaborated original which came from the
hand of genius. What would sculpture be
worth if tobacco sign were placed on
exhibition side by side with the work of
some modern Phidias? 1t is such n process
as this that we have been applying to our
music drama. Wngncr's trlogy cannot become
work for popular representation. 1t will
never be represented at the Academy Of
al, AT =
Trovatore" are represented now--by every
chance company that comes along-but it
will form the great art idea of every music
loving people, and although tho 'Ring of
the Nibelungcn" will not be sung until we
learn to worship art so ardently that we shall
be willing to pay for it, that time may not
be so far distant now that we have had one
opportunity of Judging of the real scope and
purpose of Wagners ideal of dramatic music.

A CrotOn DeIuyc.

The spasmodic efforts of the Croton
of water to the city took the form of an
attempt to drain the High Bridge rcser-
voir into the house top tanks up town on
Friday last. The labors of the housemaids
Of Harlem have hitherto been devoted to
carrying the water from the Easements to the
top floors by the pailful. But on Friday
these conditions were suddenly reversed
and the difficulty was to prevent the flow
from the roofs delugng the easements and
all tho intervening ho5rs. For some time
the department has been laying big pipes,
preparatory to this aqueous surprise but
the thought never struck the officials that
householdcrs might not like to have their
furniture saturated with the diluted filth of
the Cro.on reservoir. With an energy
worthy of great praise they turned on the
food and made Harlem howl with dismay.
As practical joke the doluge was success.
Nothing could be more ludicrous than the
sight Of tho pots and kettles floating of
the tops of tho kitchen stoves and the
servants wading for the back stairs
We are getting along splendidly. Now let
us have the Fire Department out once
q week for hose practice on the pedestrians
on Broadway. Let Castle Garden be con-
verted into quarantine station. and the
plague introduced direct from Bagdad, and
future generations will contemplate with
envy the glorious privileges We enjoy dur
ing the Centennial.

The War in Europe.

For many weeks the word mediation" has
figured so largely in European rumors that
the wits have got TO comparing it to the sea
serpent, which every one has heard about
but nobody has seen safely landed on terra
.tirmd. But the OCCASION as all admit, on
which mediation will be appropriate seems
to be not far distant. With war once on
foot somebody must be whipped, or at least
badly hurt before any one is eager to make
peace and then peace is precipitatcly if not
passionately sought on one side or the other,
and if the rule holds good in this dry
weather Servia should now be quite pre-
pared to submit her case to the good Offices
of some well disposed ncighbor or other
wise to lay it before diplomatic jury sup
piled by the several Powers. Doubtless, if
the case were not one Of singular dclicacy,
this course would have been ere this strenu-
ously urged upon her. But no advice would
have been palatable in Belgrade save nd
vice from st. Petersburg and from that
quarter it would have seemed less like ad-
vice than command. Servia would not have
felt ut liberty to reject it, and her readiness
would have laid the responsibility of her
fate upon her powerful neighbor, who evil
IDENTIFY did not care to put herself in such
position in view of the complications of
England in Constantinople. In this it may
yet appear that Russian diplomacy was in
fault But however it might have been in
the past, an early mediation seems now the
inevitable fact

vH GovEgSMEST, published elsewhere
comes to us filled with protestations of the
Sutan's desire to do all in his power for
the welfare of his subjects. 1t points ont in
strong terms the ingratitude of the Servians
and Montcnegrins in not waiting patiently
on the pleasure of His Majesty in this re-
gard, and casts all the responsibility OF the
present war ON these rebellious vassals.
Viewed by tho light of history and the
flames of the Bulgarian villages this latest
manifesto from Constantinople is fine
example of the sublime impudence Of the
Sublime Porte.
