In What Language Shall We Sing?

boston Transcript
1t may be accepted as automatic that it is
desirable that an audience should understand
the words of whatever music it hears sung. An
apparently logical seQuitur to this axiom is
that all singing should be done in the vernacu-
lar. Yet there are few problems in artistic
"ways and means SO involved and SO difficult
to solve satisfactorily as just this one. 1t IS
easy to say that the sentiments expressed by
the words of, say, German song should be
very clearly comprehensive to an American
audience, and that the only means of making
these sentiments comprehensive is singing the
song in English. 1t must be admitted, how
ever, that this method is fraught with many
dangerous difficulties. The closer and more
intimate the connection between the text and
the music of a song, the more desirable is it
that this connection be made patent to the lis.
tener. But also the more difficult is it to pre-
serve this connection in translation; for hand
in hand with the influence exerted upon the
music by the sense Of the text goes the far SUBJ
tier influence of the phonetic character of the
text, and of its poetic flavor. Charles Gounod
complained bitterly of the italian translation
OF the tenor air in the third act of "Faust"
The words, "SalUe, din,ora cdSta pura'" said
he, are far from producing the same impress
sion upon the mind and the poetic sense as the
original, "Salut, deneeure chGste ct pure!'C
broad, orotund Italian vowels, which have all
the uncompromising glare of primary colors,
accord but i'll with the atmosphere of mystery
and timid alteration which pervades the whole
first part of the air in question: the delicate
secondary or tertiary tints of the more muffied
French vowels are far more in place. The only
broad vowels in the French verse are the two

HeYald.1
"Were Gear and Nihilist to meet face to facs
to-day to settle treaty of peace, 1t would b.
on this basis:
/. A constitution framed By representatives
OF all classes of the people. This is not an sx.
traordinary demand, as it has been claimed and
granted in the highly civilized nations Of the
world.
2. The control of national affairs BY nsa
tional parliament.
8. A provincial autonomy for provincial af-
nominate, or at least to present for conarma-
tion, local officers.
4. The division OF public unused lands
among those impoverished peasants Who are
landless.
g. a reform in Industrial and agricultural
laws, to enable poor workmen to realize fairsr
returns for the product of farm or trade.
s. Religious freedom.
2. The right of orderly public assamblases
to discuss public and industrial interests.
8, Freedom of the press within ordinary
limits.
9. Electoral conventions uninAuenoed by
military force.
TO- A system of public education by which.
under national direction, the people would be
educated that they might rule themselves
more wisely and with more intelligent knowl-
edge of the rest OF the world, thus making
good and enlightened citizens Of the poorer
and more ignorant classes.
IL. The reduction of the expensive army Of
100000 to force adequate merely to insure
peace with Europe and Asia.
II. The guarantee of personal liberty TO
law-abiding citizens.
13. A general, detailed census, that the
real distribution of inhabitants may be known
and proper representatives may be had, and
including a statement of the social, agricultuR-
al, industrial and other interests OF each prov.
ince, to serve as basis of needed political
reforms and internal development.
IA. An amnesty for those condemned for
e1deavoring to secure these terms for their

An Unexpected Legacy.
burlington Hawkeye.l

Monday, a tall, good-leoking young man
with a mild premonition of moustache,
clawed on the wire screen which covered the
front entrance Of a house on Summer street.
1t was opened by sweet little girl, whose
glance seemed to fall first on something which
the young man carried under his arm,
wrapped up in copy of the daily Hawkeye,
and which the girl took fSr huge picture
frame.
SIS your ma at home," asked the young
man, in soft voice.
"No, she amt; and she wouldn't want to
buy anything if she was" said little miss; and
she made motion as if to shut the door.
"Not SO fast, my little miss" said the soft
spoken young man. "How did you know that
wanted to sell anything?"
"Well, jist knowed it," said the little girli
but she held the door awhile as If in doubtful
hesitation.t
"The truth is" said the courtly stranger,
THAT wanted to leave your mother thous-
and dollars. Did you never hear Of a rich old
uncle abroad?"
"Ye-e-s," said the little girl, dubiously.
"Maybe could.fnd ma" And she started
as if to 90 into the back part Of the house.
"Never mind" said the young man, II
haven't time to wait till you can find your ma.
The lady below told me should find her at
home. 1t would be well for you to be little
more careful, the next time any one calls for
your ma, and you think he wants to sell some
thing" And he turned away.
"Hold on" called the now eager miss, ''you
could leave the thousand dollars at the next
door,"
"No," said the retreating young man, II
was not to leave it with anybody but your ma,
and now won't see her."
"Well-"
But he was gone leaving the perplexed
maiden wringing her hands in terror at the
thought Of tho mischief her insolence had
wrought
No doubt "ma" and the whole family viii
be "at home" all day to-day, hoping that the
young gentleman Of the silvery tongue and
golden promise may return. But they needa's
wait. He won't come.

CANADA, by her present census, makes

cade, against Is per cent. from 1861 to 1871,
