The Religious Prsss On the Cam.
4. patgn.

Atthe date of issue Of our religious en-
changes week before last the acccptances ofth'
democratic candidates for the chief Offices OF
the nation had not been long enough before
the country to allow of comment in those
journals. Hence they pay editorial respect to
the subject in their latest issue. The Chris
tan Union thinks that Tilden and Hendricks
could never have been found standing on tho
same platform but for that enabling act"
which advised the repeal of the resumption
resolution. II was that that delayed their
acceptance Of the nomination so long The
Union thinks that upon the question Of the
treatment Of the blacks in the South Mr..
Tilden is unsatisfactory brief but this
is a right and wise policy for can
didate who is saddled with nearly all
the white rufiians Of both sections. On
the finances he says nothing but what
the republicans had said before, and on
civil service reform he is silent. SO far No
touching the root of existing difficulties.
Mr.. Hendricks letter. the Union thinks, IL
unstatesmanlike and inconsequential, and il
dsmisses it there. Neither letter can per-
suade any republican to change his party ale
legiance nor convince an unprejudiced OBJ
server that democratic victory would bring
about the desired reforms. The Independent
thinks that, though the letters of Messrs.
Tilden and Hendricks contain nothing which
apparently justifies the long time taken fos
their preparation, they are of a character
calculated to give great satisfaction to the po-
litical friends of their authors What Gov
ernor Tilden has said and omitted to say
makes his letter read more like On annual
message than q letter Of acceptance,
and with very slight alterations it
might have been adopted and signed by
the republican: candidates. And Governor
Hendricks letter is in perfect accord with
Mr. Tilden's, for otherwise it would not
have been allowed to appear before the pub
lie. But the Independent reminds its readers
that it is not as expert letter writers that
those gentlemen appear before the people,
but as candidates of the democratic party
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
Long before November, it says, the we'll
written letters of the democratic candidates
will be lost among the rubbish of the CAM
paign. In second editorial the Independent
gives summary of the war records Of
Messrs. Hayes and Tilden, and shows tho
latter to have been ''copperhead' Of the
nastiest type. Hence it goes in strongly for
the republican candidates.

The DECISIVE BATTLE of the Servian cam
paign is, we are informed, to be fought in
the Morava Valley If such battle is to
take place at all that must be the ground, as
the Servians cannot run any further. We
are informed that Prince Nikita, of Monte
negro, is about to attempt joining hands
with the Servans ut Sienitza. That should
have been his first move if he meant to take
concerted action

The Indian War.

We may expect stirring news from the
seat of war in Montana and Wyoming almost
any hour. The columns under Generals
Crook and Terry respectively are moving to-
ward each other and endeavoring to catch
the Indians between them. This is not nm
easy task, for unless Sitting Bull has such
confidence in his forces as to voluntarily
risk another general engagement he has a
hundred ways of breaking through or
breaking up. So the country must
await the news with what patience
it can summon. While, however. the
lives of so many of our brave fellows hang
in the balance such shortcomings in the out
fit of the columns as that pointed out by
our correspondent with General Terry in
the matter of ambulances deserve instant
attention. TO leave body of troops oper-
ating in such hilly and difficult country
without proper ambulances is not merely a
grave blunder but q crime against the lives
of the gallant soldiers. The very savages
they are sent to fight take tho greatest care
of their wounded, never leaving either dead
or wounded on the field of battle except in
tho last extremity. No Indian chief would
saw that one of his wounded braves was ''out
of luck" and must be left to die. An army
officer, however, has been found to say it Of
United States soldiers. When, during the
Franco-German war, it was found that
in some fortresses ammunition had
been stored that did not TT the guns,
loud cry went mp that France had been be-
trayed. To send only wheel ambulanccs
into region that wheels cannot pass over is
lust rs deserving OF condemnation. This
should be remedicd ut once. Let not our
military authorities solace themselves with
the thought that lit is too late now, my
how" Mule ambulances in abundance
could be on their way to the front in n
week.
That there should be no means under
the American Army regulations of reward
ing such signal valor rs that displayed
bv the three volunteer scouts men,
toned in General Terry's order should
make it the more incumbent upon the
country TO mark its appreciation OF the SER
vice they performed.

Richard Wagner. the most remarkable CON-
poser Of our age. attains the goal Of his
reuth. which has been hidden from the
worlds knowledge since the days of
the splendor-loving Mareraves. and which
has been known to modern readers only
as the home of the world-renowned Jean
Paul. will be the scene Of the most interest
the days Of Beethoven. The music drama
of the trilogy. or tetralogv. II the Rhenish
legend Of the "Nibelungen, on which Wag-
ner has labored for years, will be commenced
this afternoon. The performances will last
until Wednesday evening. The first feature
er is undoubtedly its length. II
is novelty in the musical
world to have an opera that takes four even
ings for its complete performance. In the
dramatic line the only parallels we know of
are those wonderful Chinese plays that run
on uninterruptedly for year before the last
act is reached. Our correspondent ut Bal
reuth sends MS very interesting account of
the theatre, the artists. the visitors
and the town itself. which will be
found in another part of the HERALD
to-day. Whatever may be the divided
e ..~.c he
claims of Wagner as an apostle of a new
school of music, there is no doubt of his
genius. He drew his first inspiration from
the fount of Beethoven. and no one can
deny the grandeur of his ideas even If some
may doubt their practicability in opera To
the credit of Wagner, it must be said, he
has never yielded to the tyranny of form or
Tradition. Whether his influence result in
good or evil there is no doubt of his
sincerity or his indomitable perseverance
in the pursuit Of what he calls the ideal
opera. He has stripped the lyric drama of
much of its clumsy trappings and has ap-
preached more nearly than any other COM
poser the severe simplicity and natural
greatness of the old Greek stage. The
prima donna and the tenor, the aria and the
scena, have been rudely displaced from
their throne of power by him. In their
stead we find the music drama-the evolu-
ton of a musical subject by process which
is the highest form Of art Every detail in
his operas receives equal attention. and
symmetry, quality hitherto unknown in
tho lyric drama has been successfully
reached by this wonderful composer. In
the destruction Of time-honored forms in
opera Wagner has incurred world wide OPP
position. 1t remains to be seen whether his
school of opera will replace those works to
which musicians and the public have been
so long welded. The performances of the
''Ring of the Nibelungen' this week must
command the thoughtful attention and
study of every lover of music.

THE SECOND AND DECIDING Victory of the
Yacht Madeleine over the Canadian yacht
Countess of Dufferin, yesterday, was not
very surprising to those who have watched
the previous performances OF the boats.
Everything that skill or experience
could suggest had been done to
quicken the Canadian schooner after
her first appearance MS competitor
for Yachting honors in these waters.
The performance yesterday of the old yacht
America. which first won the cup contested
for. shows that, even against American
lines rs they were laid twenty years ago,
Canada could not have won the race.
Although we cannot conceal our satisfaction
that the trial has added another laurel to
American yachting VIC feel prompted to say,
in face of so gallant foe, what an American
rneman said to one of the Irish team after
the first close contest at Creedmoor:-''Wo
are ell sorry both could not win."
