THE BROOKLYN PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY


A meeting of the directors of the BiOCklyn
Philharmonic Society YVES he d last evening at Brook
Ign Academy Music No business very great apparent
present through WITH and matters
stand pretty much they did before the meet
ing, so far be judged at present. The material
part of the proceedings opened with the reading OF
note from Theodore Thomas TO Mr.. King, one OF the
directors. announcing his departure for Cincinnati and
saying how much he regretted the necessity OK
his breaking of the relations which had existed
long and pleasantly between himself aud the 30
clety. committee composed Of Messrs. Sheldon King
and whitney then appointed 10 answer this letter
After this there was a great deal OF ran
dom discussion among the directors present
as to who should be elected conductor for the next
season, but definite approximate result, was
arrived at There almost many candidates sug-
gested as there members Of the board present,
and the only person who seemed to have any
sort Of an organized following was Carl Reineeke.
At the end Of the meeting it resolved that COM
rnttee be appointed tO confer with such parties as in
their Judgment they may deem best for the interests OF
the Philharmonic Society IN the selection Of leader OF
the orchestra Of the society," and to refer the same 70
the directors at a subsequent meeting"
The directors Of the New-YOrk Philharmonic Society
be wholly at TO what is best to be done
and it is impossible to tell what course they will take.
They do not seem TO regard DR.. DamrOsch
as an available candidate for the conductor
ship, and yeE they have no one to sug.
gest to take the place Of Mr. Thomas
except him. They are waiting 10 have conference
with the Brooklyn sOcietYs directors, and when tneY
come together definite result Will probably be ar
rived at. At present it looks though the most un7
likely things were likely 10 happen.

NJ. THEODORE THOMAS -
DEAR SIR At meeting OF the members OF the Phil

ganzaion read, aud accepted with feelings OF pro-
found regret. The undersigned committee were ap-

The london Times seems to have fallen into an
unnecessary futter Secretary Evarts, in con-
versation with our special correspondent, de-
MES that any proposition for reciprocity treaty
or customs union has yet been entertained
in the negotiations between the United States
and Canada.
State Assessor James A. Briggs sends to the
Mayor a very hearty commentator OF Mr.. III.
Coleman as the best qualified man in this
city, or in the State, to take the place OF Mr..
George H. Andrews as Tax Commissioner. We
think Mr.. Briggs Is entirely right in this, and
that the Mayor cannot do a wiser thing for
himself or a better thing for the taxpayers
and the whole community than promptly
to tender Mr.. Coleman the appoint
ment. He has been connected with the
department from the beginning, and is beyond
question the best general judge Of real estate
values we have in the city. There ought to
be no two opinions about his appointment,
aud no delay in making it.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in a circular
to be issued to-day, accOrds to holders of
greenbacls or National bank notes the privi-
lege of demanding silver dollars for them to
the amount of $4,000. This is ambiguOusly
heralded as a step in the direction of full
resumption of specie payments. The Secre-
tary, however, can scarcely hope to put the
silver dollars in circulation merely by paying
the transportation charges, and even If he
succeeds in doing that, he cannot keep them
out. His aim probably is to leave the advO-
Gates of the Silver bill no ground for ex-
planning the failure of the measure by insinu-
ating that he has not done what he could to
give the country all the silver 1t is willing
to take.
When high ground Is chosen, it is easy to
make a good fight The Maine Republicans
have secured commanding position by en-
trenehing themselves ON the heights of honest
money and public faith, and their prospects
in the canvass, which will close next week,
are all they could hope for. The leaders
are not afraid to call a spade a spade
They regard the tendencies of the Green
back party as revolutionary, and in their clos
ing address they say as much; and what Il
more they have the documentary evidence al
hand to prove it. The only way in which q
political movement of so low an order can be
overcome is to face it and argue it down
without yielding an inch of ground. A COM
promise with ignorance is always dangerous
experiment.. He who sups with the Devil
must have long spoon.

he can do next; and he says to himself,
an look the dog boldly in the face and
make him afraid. They say that If you will
look straight into the eye of wild beast, he
will not venture to attack you" So when
the boy sees the dog coming, he stops, and
looks him straight in the eye. But the dog
can look fercer than he can and his look
does not stop the dog in the least but he
springs straight at the boys throat, and
pulls him down again. The next time the
boy thinks that he will put on something to
protect him. So he gets strong leather
suit of clothes, and buttons it up high in
the throat, and thinks that this time he is
safe. But the dog does not mind it in the
least, but springs right at him, and pulls
him down, and tears his leather suit into
rags. The next time the boy thinks that he
will show fight so he gets big club, full
of knots, and walks out boldly into the field
and when he sees the big dog coming, he
stops, and lifts up his club, and aims a
dreadful blow at the dog; but his hand
trembles little, and the club Just misses
the dog, or else the boy does not strike hard
enough and before he can get his club up
again, the big dog has got him by the throat,
and pulled him down again. The boy creeps
feebly back to the fence, tired and torn,
and bleeding, and aching, and there stands
his father, who has all the time been saying,
MY son, let me carry you across" And he
says to his father, Father, give it up
| can't get the better of that big dog you
carry me across" And then the father
stoops down and takes his little boy In his
arms, and carries him across the field and
the big dog is afraid of him, and doesn't
come near them. The field is the world
the big dogs name is Temptation and no
one ever tried to conquer that dog who did
not, sooner or later, fail miserably. But the
| smallest child can get the better of him by
trusting himself to Jesus Christ to be saved
by him. When temptation comes, the way
to overcome it is, not to resist it and
struggle against it, but simply to lift the
heart to Jesus, and say, "Lord, thou hast
promised to save me, and | am trusting to
thee to do so. can't resist this temptation
but thou canst, and ] am relying on thy
word" No one ever thus truly trusted
Christ without being delivered. Jesus Christ
is the only Saviour; and all our salvation
comes from simply believing in him, believ
ing his word trusting him, taking him to
be our Saviour, and holding fast to him.
