A NEW MUSICAL SCHEME.

The suggestion so often made in TIE
TRIBUNE, and takcE up so warmly little
while ago in Il number of our Letters from the
People, with respect to the establishment OF a
Thomas Music Hall in this city, seems to be
bearing fruit ut last A company has been
formed to carry out the plan, and the details
are to be laid before the public in few days.
We know enough of the enterprise to be able
to say that it is full OF promise, that it has
already made considerable progress, and that
the purpose of the projectors is to erect
one of the most perfect music-halls i'll
existence,-a hall which will be an Orna-
ment to the city and delightful resort
at all times of the year. The design in
cludes Summer and Winter Garden, res
taurant, and popular concert every day.
Ii is understood that an admirable site, in the
best part of the city, has already been secured.
OF course such a scheme requires a large cap
ital We do not know how much has thus far
been contributed, but the circular handed to
the audience at the symphony concert Oh Sat
urday intimates that subscriptions to the stock
will be invited from the general public 1t is
not as easy to float stock companies now as it
was a few years ago. but there is an alum
udHCc VI uiOncy WV anu VIC pIt-
sumo that whatever may be necessary can be
obtained if people are pleased with the plans
and satisfied with the incorporatOIs.
The honor of New-York City has been in
vOlved in providing some place for the
Thomas orchestra without much more delay.
An unusually brilliant season of symphony
concerts has just closed, but an orchestra can
not live on six performances annually, and we
are probably telling no secret whcn we say that
during the past two years Mr.. Thomas and bis
men have endured severe hardshrs, losing
in country travel great deal more than they
could gain in New-York. Only heroic per-
severance has kept them together. They have
had faith i'll the future and it is our part TO see
that their faith is not disappointed. We have
now the only permanent orchestra in America
and one of the two or three finest and most
famous i'm existence. 1t is an orchestra which
has given our country an envlable reputation
in Europe, and caused Ncw-York to rank, in
the estimation Of German and other foreign
authorities, as one of the great centers OF
musical intelligence. An orchestra can only
exist by playing every day. There is no build
ing in this city at present wherein concert
can be given every day with the faintest hope
of profit ThOmas's long experiment OF taking
his band all over the country has failed; the
cost of the journeys is too great-tO say nothing
of the fatigue. 1t seems clear to us that the
time had come when the people must decide

could earn living, or to let 1T be disbanded

for nothing. The news that at last practical
attempt has been made to provide comfortable,
convenient, and attractive quarters for this
organization of which we are so justly proud
will be hailed with the liveliest satisfaction,
and we believe that the projectors can count
with confidence upon the support of the public.

President MacMahon has soldiers dislike for
making removals without good cause. Invited
by the Buffct-Broglie party to dismiss Minister
Simon and restore themselves to Office, he
has very prudently declined to plunge
France into another political crisis. The
success of the ultra Radical candidate at Bor=
deaux ought TO convince the MOnarchists that
this is not time to awake the kingly hate of
the French democracy.

and light had the effect of bringing great crowds OF
visitors to the city, though the season is too young

This is another of those eventful days at
Constantinople which promise decisive results
until diplomacy makes another move and
temporarily averts war. The POrte's answer,
which is to be given to-day, might establish
peace, but it is more probable that it will
leave Europe in suspense. With Monte
negro still at war, and the question of
disarmament unopened, the Porte cannot be
expected TO do more than repeat the assur-
ances it has already given so plcntifully.
Meanwhile the signs of coming war grow
clearer In themselves they may mean only
wise precautions but they indicate state OF
feeling more hostile and determined than that
which preceded the outbreak of hoshlitles be-
tween Servia and Turkey.

A SUGGESTION

The decision of the Massachusetts judge
in the Springfield Republican libel suit
seems to have afforded a world of encour-
agement to the great army of the libelled.
A New York lawyer was, some time ago,
disbarred on account of general bad char
acter, and the order disbarring him was af-
frmed by the court of appeals, the court
holding that Gas good moral character is
one of the constitutional and statutory
qualifications essential to the admission
" of an attorney, 80 he may be removed
whenever he ceases to possess such quail
fications." The opinion of the court, to-
gether with the testimony on which it was
based, was published in the official reports
of the decisions of the court of appeals, and
was reproduced in the Albany Eoenin9
Journal and now the disgraced attorney
has brought separate actions for libel,
claiming one million dollars damages in
each case, against the official reporter of
the decisions of the court, the publisher OF
the reports, and the Euening Journal.
We hardly think any comment is needed,
but we call attention to the decision of the
Massachusetts judge and the theory upon
which this ex-New York city attorney
bases his suits, for the purpose Of ventur-
ing suggestion to those who are manifest.

General Summary.

The question of permitting women to
vote In Colorado is to be decided ct the
election on October 8. The state has a
Woman's suffrage association, which is ap-
pealing for funds, thereby giving evidence
that woman has touched the handspring of
the ballot after all.
Men have crossed the ocean in very small
boats, but nobody ever supposed a woman
would be foolish enough to try 1t. 1t is
now announced that man and his wife
will set tout in thirteen-feet boat, to sail
from New Bedford to London soon.
The Department Of state has been official
informed that General Hawley, president,
Alfred 7. Goshorn, director, and Meyer
Asch, assistant secretary of the centennial
commission, have been created by the king
of Holland knights of the order of the
Golden Lion Of the Netherlands, and yes
torday tho department transmitted TO them
the insignia of the order.
AT the annual meeting of the elk associ-
alton Of America, held in New York Fri
day, the secretary stated that the total
product CT 1876 was valued ct 500, 600, 900.
Although the present condition of the
business is reported TO be unsatisfactory
rapid progress has evidently been made
towards achieving industrial independence
in this important manufacture, and it ia
hoped that the obstacles which have arisen
from an imperfect execution of the tariff
laws will soon be removed.

Portland, Maine, has mayor Of the
right kind. For years, it has been the Gus
tom of the retiring board of aldermen to
have grand break out at the expense of
the city and this year they followed the
usual custom, bill being presented to the
city for one hundred and seventy-six dol
lars, eighty dollars of which was for lex
tras," but the mayor promptly vetoed
the order directing the payment of the bill,
saying that there was no warrant in law
for the payment of such accounts. The
incoming board, in accordance with SINH
lar custom, had reception the evening
before they assumed office, the bill being
some sixty-slx dollars, but the mayor, also,
vetoed this bill suggesting that, perhaps, 1t
would be as well for these gentlemen to
wait until they became officers of the city
before feasting at its expense. But the
climax was reached when small bill for
cigars was presented, and the mayor sent
it back with the endorsement "the city
"don't smoke" The mayor has consider
stely suggested that, under the circum-
stances, the best thing these aldermen and
ex-aldermen can do is, TO put their hands
in their pockets and pay the bills them
selves. 1t is, perhaps, needless to remark
that the mayor is somewhat unpopular
with the aldermen.
