AN OPER1TIC ENTERPRISE.

When Italian Opera, after leading n precari-
ons existence on the boards OF few theaters,
first made itself modestly at home in this city,
on Astor Place. in 1913, it was considered a
great step toward the development of popular
taste for the musical drama. But it soon be-
came clear that the taste was outrunning the
opportunities for its enjoyment and cur pres
cnt Academy of Music was the result. The
VARYING fortunes of this establishment, eSpe-
cially during the last few years, have been due
rather 10 certain peculiarities of It's organlza-
ton, and to the absence of good,
permanent operate staff. than to any
deterioration in the general musical taste
of our people On the contrary, the latter was
never more intelligent, and less capncious,
than at present. The stockholders OF the
Academy enjoy rights which, the managers of
opera complain, materially diminish their re-
CENTS and those inducements of comfort which
must be offered to the public Hence a scale
OF prices which cuts down the attendance, and
partly defeats the larger aim which such an
institution should include. If the musical cul-
tiyation of the people be desired, the opera
must be something more than the luxury OF
fortunate class.
Mr. Maurice Stlakosch, who has had an ex-
nerience of thirty years in such matters, comes
forward with a proposition which eonlnehds
itself to the attention of our best cltlzehs. III
is the construction of new ana Tar more
spacious and complete Opera House on the
block now occupied by Gilmore's Garden
Certainly better location could not be found.
The space is 400 by 200 feet, which would
admit of a building capable of seating 5000
persons, and stage ample enough to admit OF
the rrandcst scenic effects. The conveniences
of approach and exit are all that could
be desired Mr. Strakosch announces that he
has the refusal of the property, which Is val
ucd at 81 900 900, while the construction OF
the house. with all the necessary scenery and
dramatic outfit, would require an equal sum.
This he proposes to raise by issuing 1000
shares mt 81 900 each, the holders OF which
would be entitled to free admission, but not
to reserved seats; in addition to which he
offers to redeem and cancel 100 shares every
year, until the privileges are completely an
nlled. His plan seems equally simple, prac-
teal, and fair.
If successful, Mr. Strakosch promises to give
us Wagner's great Nibeungen Trlogy new
operas specially written for us by Verdi and
Gounod, Adelina Patti, true French Opera
Comique (Which we do not know, as yeti, and
Miss Kellogg in English Opera. The capacity
of the building would admit of lower re-
munerative rates, and large class, now
almost entirely shut out from the enjoyment
of the best musical art would be able to
attend. There is nothing extraordinary in
these promises-nothlng, in fact, which city
like New-York ought not to possess. Our peO-
pie are already sufficiently educated to know
the best when they hear it; and the success
assured if its protector can simply convince

" TIE INDIFFERENCEp of The AMERICAN
PEOPLE.

Mr.. Oswald OttendOrter, a gentleman OF
foreign extraction, is good enough to SEND
from New-Orleans to the Stats Zeitung news
naner his views of the situation. Mr. Often
dorfer sets forth that "the members OF the
"Returning Board, inaccessible to reason OF
"to moral pressure, despise public opinion"
"Undcr these circumstances" continues Mr..
Ottendorfer, the gentlemen from the North
"who are now here will accomplish little; yet
"they can collect material for an impartial
report and distribute it among the people"
"But even this" politely continues this OBJ
server, considering the indifference OF the
american people for fairness and justice,
twill only serve as funeral discourse over
"the grave of the Republc!" And after the
funeral Mr.. Ottendorter, we presume, VIII go
back to Germany and tell his republican
friends there that republics are impossible, and
that despotism is the best!
The American people then, majority OF
Them are ready "to sanction frauds ana
"usurpations of the worst kind" VI what
nse then will it be for Mr.. OttendOrfers gem
tlemen to do as he suggests-"to collect ma
"terial for an impartial report and distribute
eft among the people?" Have we then sunk
so lov7 Are we to be told that honor and
the love of Justice and truth have altogether
left us THAT we are ready to shut our eyes
to the grossest chicanery, and to acquiesce IN
any violation of the sanctity OF the ballot
The charge is as comprehensive as 1t is
ungenerous. 1t is not confined to those VINO
supported Gov. IIayes-it includes those VINO
voted the Democratic ticket-it is an lndlct-
ment equally of the Democratic and Republl-
can parties. The American people-the whole
American people of the North and the South,
native or of foreign birth-are Indifferent to
"fairness and justicew Indeed it does not
so much matter, if the Republic is all ready
for the grave with its funeral discourse quite
prepared in the shape of Mr.. Oswald Otten-
dorfer's opinion of the Returning Board OF
Louisiana!
1t is fortunate. considering the fatal char
acter of the alternative. that there is not a
shadow of truth in this calumny. We do not
assume to defend the American people-they
are amply able to vindicate themseiyes-but
We take the liberty of saying that their " IN
difference to fairness and justice" exists only
in the imagination of their volunteer critic.
We affirm that the exact opposite Is the truth
of them. and that fairness and justice" Mt
this moment are just what they most ardently
desire. At any rate, we deny that there has
been anything in their conduct which can
Justify such n judgment OF them as tins IN
advance. Let Mr.. Ottendorfer "collect ma
"terial for an impartial report and distribute
cit among the people, 1t Will he time
enough to declap it "a funeral discourse over
" the grave of the Republic" when the Ameii-
can people have at least had an opportunity
of considering il.

that Everybody knows" that Mr. Tilden mas
carried the State, and that any contrary re-
turn must be fraudulent. The natural pre-
sumption is the other way. The Republican
statements correspond the more nearly with all
reasonable expectations, based on the known
character of the counties in question, and
come from men who have the better OPP
nortunity TO know what the official returns
really are. If there is any presumption IN the
case worthy of notice, it is that the Republicans
have a majority of all the votes cast. But
presumptions do not settle elections. There Is
but one course for decent and law-ablding
citizens-to wait for the sot1ical decision, and
70 accent that as final unless there is proof
of its mcOrrectness. Mere assertions OF Win
partisans on either side are not proof.

REPUBLICAN COUNTIES.

According to the Republican claims, there is
no Democratic majority in Monroe or Jack
son, and.only 105 Democratic majority in the
nine counties. According to the Democratic
claim, there is 1,167 Democratic majority i'll
these counties. Now these counties gave
Republican majority of AS at the last Presi
dental election. Duval and Alachua gave
1,47O Republican majority, and the Republi-
cans now claim 1,G55 majority-an increase
not unreasonable i'll two of the strongest Re-
publican counties. The Democratic counties
then gave 1,2S4 Democratic majority, and the
Republicans now allow 1,760, but the Demo
Gratis clam 1897. In several of these coun-
ties the Republicans assert that there was
much fraudulent voting, and in some the ma
jorty claimed by the Democrats is larger than
their entire vote in former years would permit
any one to expect Finally it appears that
they claim 1913 majority in Jackson, which
gave $50 Republican majority in 1872, and in
which, il is alleged, four of the strongest Re-
publican polls were seized by armed men and
the boxes destroyed.
This brief comparison shows how unwise it
is for Democratic partisaDs at the North, who
know nothing whatever of the facts, to insist

THE OUTLOOK IN FLORIDA.

It can no longer be complained that the Re-
publcans of Florida do not furnish the figures
upon which their claims are based. Dispatches
give their statements in detail, showing "A small
majority for the state ticket and IA larger ma
jority for HAYES without the exclusion of any
return. Comparison of this statement with
those telegraphcd from Democratic sources
shows that there is important difference as to
nine counties only. In all the other counties,
the difference is less than % votes III each, and
in the aggregate only DIG votes more favor
able to the Republicans than the Democratic
reports, of which many are obviously based
upon partial estimates As the Republican
officials have access TO the official returns the
presumption is that their statements are likely
to be more trustworthy.
The counties as to which the reports differ
are given below, with the majority as claimed
by each party, and the difference:

In the letter we printed yesterday describing the
bomeward VOYAGE of Tweed, that worthy is repre-
sentcd as breathing out threatenngs and slaughter
against Gov Tilden and declaring lis ability to put
an end 10 his candidacy. and with 1T to his political
life The Boss said these things, things like them,
evidently without knowing that the winds and tides
had Joined hands to keep him oil shore till after
the election We have never been among
those who cherished any expectation that
Tweed would make any statements" or
indulge in damaging revelations From the day
his power was stripped from him until now he has
never broken his silence, though he might nave
blasted countless populations had he once untolded
the secrets OF his long career Of skillu corruption
II may well be- that in the freedom of "a voyage at
sea. his habtna caution may have fOrsaken him,
and he may have let drop threats and mutteungs
born of his anger at being dragged back 10 America
as captive at the time when one of the chief OF ms
destroyers was an asprant for the first seat IN the
Government But when he does come-if he ever
does-he will find all his threats CO post taefo
aud all his revelations useless. Nothing
that he can say can settle the destna-
ton of that solitary electoral vote on which now
turn four years of empire and as electoral sys-
TEN is now constituted, probably not even clear
proof of Mr. Tilden's completely with the Tammany
Rinp-about the last thing we should expect-would
prevent his being made President, If he finally got
that missing vote. The Boss is too long-headed not
10 keep his mouth shut when there Is nothing to be
gained by opening il, and those people who expect
astounding disclosures any disclosures at ALL are
likely to be disappointed
II has never been successfully denied that IN
largo portion of the Southern States as for example
in districts of Mississippi and Alabama, the negroes
and many white Republicans were practically dis
franchised in the recent elections, and people who
live outside this area of terrorism DO not fail to see
that their own rights are directly invaded by this
Democratic method of managing their domestic
affairs When that provision of the AlNth Amend
ment IL virtually nuliled under which the basis of
representation is reduced in proportion the right
of suffrage is denied, the armed voter who drives
another from the polls Yields double the power
which is exercised by the law-abiding citizen else
where, and thus in more than way there is
offered a premium upon violence. Ii is fortunate
that acquescence by the Northern voter in this in
Justice to Southern Republicans amounts to
render of portion of his own political power. Men
who are not prompt to defend the rights of Others
may yet be very jealous of their own, and the
country will not long permit minority of turbulent
voters to nsurp disproportionate share of the
power to name our representatives i'll Congress and
our Presidential Electors.

The three Powers-Russia, England, and
Turkey-are still preparing on vast scale for
war. Turkey is organizing an army of 100000
men for Bulgaria, which may soon be con-
fronted in Roumania by the immense force
Russia has called to arms. The Turks have
also strengthened Widdin, strong fortress On
the Danube, and are about to dispatch train
of 1,20O wagons from Constantinople. In
England large force has been directed to
prepare for foreign service, and The Woolwich
arsenal has been ordered to produce 100000
cartridges weekly. Were the Powers con-
cened actually at war they could not be more
energetic. 1t is easy TO see that their military
and naval departments place little trust in the
Conference.

The Louisiana Returning Board has not been
in times past body that either party was
eager to defend, but the Northern Democrats
now in New Orleans presumed the other day
a little too far upon its past reputation. Their
letter to the republicans now present i'll that
city on the invitation of the President, asking
a conference, made a gratutous assumption
that the Board of Canvassers would be honest
only upon compulsiOn. They understood, they
said, that the Republicans came ito see that
" the Board of Canvassers make fair count
L" of the vote actually cast" The reply OF
the Republicans makes an adrOit and yet JUS
tifiable use of this blunt language. Whatever
the records of Returning Boards may have
been heretofore, that which organized yester-
day is clearly entitled to public opinion III
it's favor until it has been shown to be I'M
worthy of it, and the Republicans were right
in giving the Democrats quiet reminder OF
that fact. The ground on which the confer
ence asked for has been declined will commend
itself to every fair-minded man. The great
point at issue was whether the vote ought to
he counted as "actually cast" and this point
the Democrats sought to entrap their Oppo-
nents into yielding before it had been officially
raised Another Democratic letter is in course
of preparation. 1t is to be hoped that it will
not be quite so smart as the first.
