TIE SPELLING MATCH.

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, insists that
the Rev. Mr. Simmons is not fit person for
census supervisor because he spells En-
"ccllency with one in his letter TO the
President. But Senator G0rdon's critics call
attention to the fact that the Senator
himself IN a recent communication spells
Marshal with two Is aud "contro-
"versy " with two e's. Thus, " controversy
So the contest is beng waged on questions OF
orth0graphy and We have seen the proposition
made in some newspaper that 1t be settled by
an old-fashioucd spelling match. Should
this be agreed to II might be wise 10 call IN the
high official who recently ordered " burben
" cocktails" and all the subordinates in the de-
partncnt which was not long ago presided
over By n bigger man than old Grant
and nut the whole raft Of them through an
examination by the Civil Service Commission.
We presume, however that the fact will be
found to be that none Of this queer spelling
ia absolutely wrong Great latitude must be
allowed in spelling The Rev. Mr.. Simmons
,pd the Senator from Georgia each spelled,
mo Doubt, according to his lights. and from
Noint of view partly personal and
nartly Solitical The Rev. Mr.. Simmons may
have hN a purpose in spelling Excel
"lencyr With one l. he may have desired IN
,bi. delicate way to convey TO the President
his wish not to give him any that was not
absolutely necessary. Aud this may have been
one cause for Senator Gordon's wrath that
gentleman being of the opinion that the Pres-
dent deserves the that Simmons spared him.
For the same reason. it may be, Senator Gordon
! plyes the Federal Marshal one moro than is
necessary. it being now generally held by the
Democratic party that the United States
Marshal deserves m additional !. So, too,
the Senator may have purposely spelled
CONTROVERSY as he did, to show his natural
desire to have more els in his controversies
than he has enjoyed since he has been in the
Senate.
We are quite certain that this will turn out
to be. on both sides. political spelling instead
of bad spelling. They both mean well.

HELPFUL CHARITY.

seems TO depend anything like satisfactory charity
The Associated Charities OF Boston are acting far

work for those who apply for relief, and to take

This opened her eyes. The next day she sent for

We cannot help thinking that she was fortunate
in getting it, Moreover, we believe that there are
in this city to-day many men aud women ready to
do any honest work for livelihood and who can
get nothing to do. They are entitled TO sympathy
and assistance. They are not for a moment to be

lazy who proceed, or rather do not proceed, upon
the muddled notion that the world owes them u

hardly any kind of tolerably remuneratve labor
which does not demand skill ard previous training.

4 WORD TO NEW-YORK REPCBLICANS.

4 UORD TO NEU-1OKh HETt BLICANS
I'm less than two weeks the Republican State
Convention takes place. A few delegates
have already been chosen, but the great
majority will be selected during the next
ten days. We wish to remind Republicans
that the only way they can exercise
any direct influence upon the action
of that Convention and the course of
the delegation it will send to Chicago is to
take part in the caucuses and Assembly Dis
t,ict Conventions which make up it's member
shin. II il well enough for men to discuss the
Presidential question among their business
associates, and to express their preferences
for this candidate or that to the people
they meet in their daily rounds, but
such talk does not count toward making
nm the verdict OF the State which will be ex-
pressed by the delegates chosen at Utica to
represent it in the National Convention. The
men who take the trouble to go to the eau
cuses will be practically and rightfully the
Republican party of their towns and pre-
cincts. so far as the matter of expressing
the choice Of the party on the Presiden-
tlal question is concerned-we say rightfully
because the men who do not take that
trouble have no claim to have their views
represented. If ten men go to caucus
and a hundred stay away, tho ten have
perfect right TO take measures to pro-
mote the success of the candidate of
their choice, and are In no way bound
to consult the preference of the absentees (;
and for the stay homes to complain after
ward about machine management" Is ex-
ceedingy silly. There is practical side of
politics. Somebody must do the work, and it
is only natural that those who do it should
DO it in their own way, and not in
the way of their neighbors who de-
cline to take any share il it. If the Utica
gathering represents the wishes of minority
of the Republicans of the State, it will be be-
cause the majority fail to take the only posi-
BILE course to make their wishes felt
We take ii for granted that there will be
no repetition in this State of the Pcnnsylva-
MA method by which local committeeman
usurped from the people the power of sending
delegations to the State Convention, and
packed the body with themselves and their

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE DANNATION OF FAUST.

The rehearsals at steinway Hall have demon
strated that the performance OF La DaInnation do
Faust by the combined forces Of the Symphony.
OratorO and Arion Societies will be the most exct-
ing event by which the musical season has thus far
been illustrated The colossal and difficult work Of
Berloz is given with warmthand spirit DR.. DAM
rosch leads his forces with a contagious enthusiasm;
the chorus is rm and sOnOrOus; and all the solos are
ntrusted 10 singers who appear to DO IN sympathy
with the music. Miss Amy Sberwins beautiful
voice and rare musical feeling have never Impressed
MS SO strongly as in the duo with Faast IN the third
Part; Mr. Jordan gives the'trying tenor music with
great intelligence carnestness and pure taste Mr.
Bourne makes q very pleasant impression IN the
small bass part of Brander; and Mr.. Remmertz is
admirable as Nephistopholcs-we are not sure but
this performance will rank among his very best eff
forts
Apart from the intrinsic charm of the music, The
Damnation of Faust" offers peculiarly interesting
study. Berlioz was the forerunner, Il not tho
teacher of the chief masters of the modern school,
and nearly all the most striking orchestral devices
which are supposed to be contemporary innova-
tons indicated in his gigantic scores. Wagner
has surpassed him in grandeur ard sustained beauty
Of instrumental treatment. and far surpassed hun
in elevation OF thought ard creative power; but
Berlioz had fine and original sense OF the poetry Of
tOne-efects which amounted to real genius. In his
Faust will moreover be found the source from
which many later writer has drawn his melodlc
themes Gounod must have found inspiration III
