dental contest which will be, in all proba-
biIity, very close one, and the result oil
which may be decided by the vote OF
the State of New-York. The Utica ConVen-
ton cannot afford to take course that womb
produce dissatisfaction and a sense OF unfair
treatment among the Republicans OF any por-
ton of the State. The utmost harmony and
good feeling in the party may be needed to IN
sure New York to the Chicago nominee. The
way to secure such harmony and good feeling
ia plainly not to thrust delegates into the Chl-
caeo Convention to misrepresent the expressed
wishes of the people in the districts from
which thew are accredited The Chicago can
didate must not be put into the field handi-
capped with the charge that lie Is not the Tree
choice of the Republicans OF the country
Looking, therefore, to the success of the Re
publican party in November as OF infinitely
greater consequence than the triumph OF any
faction at Utica or of any candidate at chi
caco. we beg the State Convention to observe
with scrupulous care the principle of popular
representation. One thing further. There is
no occasion for personal attacks upon any
aspirant for the Presidency. or upon any Re-
pnblican leaders or elements here in New
York. May we not hope in this Presidential
year. when harmony is of such vital import
ance. that the Convention Will present not
able example of courtesy. good nature and
GOOD sense

NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY FEBRUARY % 1880

This was clearly unfair, especially In view OIL
the fact that cinchona bark of good grade
had grown dear of late years, having risen In
value in London from shillings pence
pound in 1866 to shllings in 1879.
In its advocacy of reduction OF the
price OF quinine last Spring, The TRIBUNE
did not desire that the American manufae-
turers should be stricken down by the leglsla-
ton of Congress on this subject yet so hasty
was that legislation that the result referred to
appears now actually to be taking place.
With taxed raw materials, and no protection
on the product, the American makers are Sc
verely oppressed, and they have been Obliged
to diminish production and dismiss a part OF
their working force.
This result has led to another of a striking
nature The market mas been left in the hands
OF spectators and foreign dealers in qulnlne ;
and the price has now been put up by them
nearly to the highest point of year ago.
The drug now sells for from SO 20 to So 80
per ounce in the open market, and large
lots of it are held at So so with some sales
at those prices. This Is as bad as it was
last Winter, and is in the open market, where
there is and can be combination to affect
the price This is not at all the state OF al
fairs which THE TRIBUNE labored last Spring
to bring about.
1t is evident that Congress would do well to
reconsider the facts about this matter and study
what can be done. The American makers de-
sire to have hearing, which they did not have
year ago, AMI Congress should OF course
give them an opportunity TO present their case
They have prepared a memorial to Congress
on this subject (Which is printed on another
page of this paper, containing many interest
ing suggestions and whether the particular
thing they ask for is conceded or not, 1t Is
plain that their story should be heard, and that
something should be done, if possible. for their
relief

MUSIC.
THE LIEDERKRANz CONCERT.

HE LltDEkkhANI tONCLhl.
The second concert of the German Llederkranz
took place at the Hall of the society last evening.
The programme comprised the Ruy Bias " over
ture of Mendelssohn, the Fantasie Characters
tidue" of Seryais, played by Mr. Adolph Fischer.
the violoncelist, and new cantata by Heinrich
Hoffman,. Aschenbr0del e. Cinderella y. Every
thing about the concert went WELL The orchestra.
conducted by Herr A. Paur. played the " Ruy Bias"
excellently, and Mr. Fischers solo was capital Tbs
chief feature of the performance was Hoffmanns
cantata Il resembles closely the " Die Sch0ne
Melusine" by the same composer which was
brought out by the Liederkranz Society last year.
but it bears much stronger impress of Wagners in
auence than did the former work, and all through
IL one has "reminiscences Of "Lohengrin," Tam
bauserD and Tristan und Isolde" 1t is,
however, perfectly characteristic and bears unmis
taxable Evidence of being the work of the composer
of Die Sch6ne Melusine" and of the Htbjof"
symphony Parts OF the scoring of the cantata are
curiouslv like that of the symphony, and there is
one passage which seems to have been taken almost
bodily from the Scherzo Elves of Light and Frost
Giants" The work is very meOdlons, but IN this,
as IN the other cantata. Hoffman, has done his best
work in the chOruSes and has made the solos or
minor importance Most of the choruses he has
made shave and graceful and wonderfully delicate
some of Them too, are very strong. he solo parts
were excellently done by Mines. Hendricks and
Unger and by Mr. Adolph Sohst.

MR.. STOUG HTON,S BRIEF

The discussion of the Third Term question is
conducted in The North american Reriew this
month by the Hon. j. s. Black. who states
the "reasons against it," and by ex-Minister
Stougbton, who may be said to hold a brief for
the plaintiff. We have already printed some
of the most interesting and pointed passages
Of Mr.. ,StoughtOn's paper. The reader will no
doubt have remarked that they relate more TO
the abstract question of the proprIety Of elect
inc ANYBODY for third term than to the quail
fcations of General Grant. Mr.. Stoughton has
no fear of the consequences of admitting the
indefinite reeligibility of President, especially
when he has once descended to his place as n
private citizen and surrendered the control of
the patronage. He does not even believe in
the current theory of Civil Service Reform, that
there should be "nO removals except for
"causen: he approves of the spois system /;
he bIames the present Administration for neg
lecting to distribute the Offices for the good of
the party and he asserts that if any member
of the Government is exerting his influence,
through subOrdinates or otherwise, to preUent
the denomination of General Grant, that il
{" the very mischief feared and denounced by
" Jefferson and Others" and affords an argu-
ment in favor of the selection of Grant as the
candidate of the people. This part of his
argument, being O reply to the objections of
Mr.. Black, is developed at some length. When
he comes to the consideration of reasons for
preferring General Grant to some other Re-
publican candidate, 1t will probably be thought
that he Is rather too brief.
Mr.. Stoughton thinks that We need a Presi-

there is about General Grants. Aud speaking Of
Grants well-known reticeuce this story, which was
told years ago. is just apropos. 1t was
during the time Of reconstruction when the course
of President johnson was agitatIng Congress and
the country Many efforts were made to learn
whethor the General of the Army sided with the
Executive not but no one bad been able TO get
word from him committing himself AT last ono
member OF Congress could endure the suspense no
longer, and be determined to get decisive answer
from Grant. He obtained an interview and at once
began an earnest discussion of Mr.. Johnson's policy.
Al er each vigorous denuncIatiOn Of the afVremen-
toned policy he looked aud listened for some sign
OF approval or dissent from the General, but none
came. The NJ. T.. getting desperate and. sum-
mOning all his cornage he asked " General Grant,
are you in favor of President Johnson's policyW
Taking one or two quiet whfs at his cigar and
without moving muscle OF bis face, Grant replied:
" Mr. Blank, have you seen Major Browns pups"
1t is sale to say that that member Congress shares
the uncertainty of the rest Of the country as to Gen.
eral Grants opinion of a third term.
Springer's tmid course on the Election Commit
tee is imperling the prospects of his party. What
the Democracy want in that position is man of
nerve. Springer should at once give way to
Garcelon.
The Democratic papers are as chock full Of advice
TO the Republicans Captain Cnttle was of science.
Their dsiuterested efforts would be reciprocated
were there any topics of interest In the Democratic
situation to discuss
The present week will prove an interesting ono
for those who watching the developments in tho
preliminary canvass for the Presidency. The New
York State Convention will meet at Utica TO ap-
point seventy delegates TO the Chicago Convention.
and its action will be of the highest importance.
Conventions will also meet in the various Congress
sional Districts of Indiana. and choose delegates to
the same Convention. In Illinois the Republican
State Central Committee W Il meet and name tho
time and place for holding the State Convention.
and its decision will foreshadow in measure the
prefeTt nee of that State The political outcome in
these three States during the next few days cannot
but have an important bearing upon the Chicago
Convention in June.
