The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1879-10-27

We understand that Brevet Colonel Tor
GeneraD Mapleson regards the almost
unanimous opinion of the New York press
on his present opera season with feeling
that he is criticised with a severity bor-
dering on prejudice; that his critics write
to use musical phrase, all the passages
If, and, in short, that he is a hardly
used man. We beg to assure the Colon Ell
Tor Gen eral) that he is quite mistaken, at
least so far as the HERALD is concerned In
estimating the musical work of Her Maj
esty's Opera Company the faults as well
as the beauties have been unhesitatingly
pointed out, and perhaps strong Electives
have occasionally been used. But, if tho
public expectation has not been entirely
fulfilled thus far. is it not most compli-
mentary evidence of tho high estimate
placed on the Colonels Cor Generals) judg-
ment and ability?
We can readily understand the view of
the situation as taken from the box Office Of
tho Academy of Music. The manager feels
that he is comparatively a stranger in the
land undertaking work heretofore directed
by those who were we'll known so the pub
lic-Ullmann, Maretzek, Strakosch and
Grau. For years these latter held almost
undisputed possession of tho Academy.
and the ties of old associations and the
influence OF strong friendships with
the public and the critics tended to
mako their seasons successful even when
the troupe, outside OF the star, was of Sec
ond rate merit. Tho critics and tho public
were undoubtedly lenient. We can under
stand how sensitive the Colonel Tor Cen
eral) feels now, thinking over all this, and
how large beam every critical mote be-
comes as he regards his troupe aud COM
pares it with those that held the Academy
stage in years gone by. In this I'M
happy state of feeling all his organs must
become unduly sensitive; his quick eye i'm
AGNES it detects an illy-conc smile of
satisfaction upon the faces of the operate
Quartet of Ex-Managers who witness any
failure; his quick ear catches the fantest
evidence Of disapprobation and locates the
sound rs coming from tho same direction.
This must be quite distressing, and the
HERALD would comfort tho Colonel Tor Con-

Indians and Indian Agents.

Some Indians belonging to the White
River Agency pronounce their late agent a
bad man, saying that he. told lies about
them, withheld supplies from those who
would not work, and threatened handouts,
chains and the halter. Whatever hon.
est opinion white man may express
about an Indian is likely to strike
the latter as lie, and to be COM
PEELED to work seems, to tramps of
any color, q fendish outrage; never
theless the complaints alluded to and
the discomfort that eliminated in the
tragedy finally enacted at the agency in d.
cate that Mr.. Meeker must at times have
been at least injudicious. The whole
dreary, terrible story and even the enthusi-
astic philanthropy with which Mr.. Meeker
is credited are arguments in favor of the
Indians should be managed by the
army Most of our military officers
have large knowledge Of Indian character
and habits whereas civilians, even the best
of them, have little but theory to guide
them. They are as just, though perhaps
the United States. Even for selfish reasons
they dislike Indian wars as intensely as the
peace party do They are trained to rule,
and yet are as merciful to those under them
as any philanthropist is to his clerks or
mill hands. In all personal respects they
are the equal of the best civilian agents.
while to the leading faults CT the worst
the army is q stranger Finally, when
soldier threatens force the Ind
ian believes him, for the means are
within call; when the civilian talks
of compulsion the Indian has only to take
time and the agent-by the forelock to
entirely escape consequences. How many
more sickening murders and costly wars
must we have before we turn the Indians
over to the only set Of men who are fully
competent to manage them?

eraD by asuggestion. just around the cor
ner from where Her Majesty's Opera troupe
holds forth is the Tammany Wigwam, and
the Colonel may take comfort from it's pro-
ceedings. He will find there Political
Quartet of Ex-Managers representing the
''Outs, whose attention is directed solely to
making the ''Ins" unhappy. The one gov
erning reason for it all rests in the simple
difference between tho word sin" and
''out," and all it implies politically. Let
the Colonel, the Anglo-Saxon 'In," pluck
up heart and remember that it is not to be
wondered at that the Italian ''Outs" should
fail to be pleased were the Colonel unsuc.
cessful in his season Of power.
The HERALD will do for tho Colonel and
his opposing "Outs" what it has done for
his neighbors down the street and their
opposing "Ins"-it will stand independ-
emily between all parties and see that tair
play is given. 1t realizes that opera is still
luxury in this country; that it has not
gained so strong foothold as to be self
supporting by the masses; that it has not
the Government subsidy accorded it on the
Continent; that the assistance received from
the stockholders only has to take the
place of the aristocratic patronage which
supports it in England. and. in
fact, that it needs encouragement in
America until it is permanently in
stituted. The HERALD appreciates how
much of an improvement. as whole, is
Her Majesty's Opera Company upon the
troupes that have gone before, and while,
in its duty to the public, it will tell truths
plainly, it wishes the Colonel Cor General)
every success.

particular pets on whose election he has
chosen TO rest his local prestige? Roberts,
who stands at the head of the Kelly ticket,
is a Kelly pet whose record Is pretty
well known. He is the man who pre-
sided at Tweed's ratification meet
inc when Tweed was nominated for
State Senator, and who said that ''his Irish
blood would not let him desert his friend
(Tweed) in the hour of adversely" He is
the Roberts who helped to gather the
pennies of the Irish servant girls for the
! Fenian fund, and who was elected
President OF the Irish Republic when
the Irish Republic had its head
quarters in Fourteenth street, with its
Senate meeting at n mansion in Union
square, resolving death and destruction to
the British Empire. He is the Roberts
who. as President of the Board of Alder
men, was Mr.. Kellys most obedient tool.
In short, Roberts is one of those irrepres-
sible Irish patriots who boost themselves
into Office by playing upon the sympathies
OF our generous Irish fellow citizens.
Who is Smyth? He is Kelly pet who
consents to be put up for all kinds OF
Offices as a standing target to be shot down.
He was nominated against Recorder Hackett
and disastrously beaten. and again nomi-
mated for District Attorney last year against
Mr.. Phelps, with the like humliating re-
suit He is now again nominated for Judge
of Common Pleas as means of giving
clear field to Mr.. Root, the Tammany-re-
publican candidate, who was SO service
able in the contest over the inspectors Of
election.
Against Mr.. Smyth and Mr.. Root the
regular democrats have nominated Judge
Beach, who now holds the position. Judge
Beach is an able lawyer and irreproachable
citizen, man Of excellent social stand
ing, who has given such proofs of COM
potency as make it inexpedient to sub
stitute any untried man in his place. much
less pet of Kelly who has been SO re-
peatedly condemned by the people. like
Smyth, or a republican tool of Tammany,
like Root
Who is Gumbleton? He is Mr.. Kelly's
particular and most favorite pet, although
removed by Governor Robinson for illegal
practices. No doubt Mr.. Kelly felt COM
PEELED to nominate him after having fought
his BATTLE but it is unfortunate for Mr..
Kelly that consistency required him to take
up man against whom the Bar OF the city
made the complaints on which Governor
Robinson acted in removing him from Office.
Who are Croker and Woltman? Again
pets of Mr.. Kelly. Who are his candidates
for Aldermen-at-Large Pets again and
subservient tools. But are Mr.. Kelly and
his dozen pets all there is of this great and
populous city which is worth considering
in an election?

Did the Jeanette Reach WrangeIl
Landy

AS winter sets in many will cast an anxious
eye toward the lone ship now resting in
Arctic waters. The reports of the ice-state
in the Arctic Ocean north OF Behring Strait
brought by cruisers in the high ATTITUDES
make up quite good horoscope for fore
casting the conditions of success encoun-
tered by the Polar expedition in August,
while making its way to Wrangell Land.
Not to recur to accounts of Arctic vessels
reaching San Francisco before the Goth
inst, the tidings brought by the revenue
cutter Richard Rush on that date would
seem to settle, as tar as such accounts can,
that the Jeanette, though belated, found
navigable water up to her desired winter
harbor.
Thethermal condition which charactcrizes
that branch of the Pacific current drifting
through Behring Strait into the North Po-
lar basin, more than any reports of cruisers
who had not actually sighted Wrangell
Land, ought, however, to guide us in any
forecast of the August ice-state prevailing
in its approaches. Although the narrow
ness of the inlet through which the Kuro
Siwo pours its warm waters into the Arctic
basin prevents that stream from liquefying
the ice formations along the northern shores
of British America to the same degree with
which the Gulf Stream acts on the shores Of
Northern Europe, the Pacific current must
nevertheless be, up to high latitude, o
powerful agent in keeping open the Polar
ocean. In 1850 Mcclure found no Diff
Guilty in sailing up the eastern margin
OF this drift as it impinges on the
western coast Of Banks Land, and
in one day made two hundred miles
of northing; but upon attempting to sail
along the eastern coast of this island he
was quickly arrested by ice. The eastern
coast of Wrangell Land is, however, washed
by the western skirt of the Pacific drift
current, and as seen by Kellett and Long
was marked by mists and fogs, rs is New
foundland when the Gulf Stream nears it.
The thermal influence Of the former cur
rent doubtless extends. as the Gulf Streams.
