The British Chancellor of the Exchequer boasts
that the National debt il now lower than il was in
ISL, having been reduced over $36300O, 600.
Compared with the reductions in National indebt-
ecness effected under the Protection system in the
United States, tho results scored in England to
the credit of Free Trade are meagre indeed. The
great progress made by the American Government
in scaling down the National debt has forced Eng
Hsh fnanciers to change their System of reducing
taxation and TO devote a largo portion of what
might otherwise be surplus" to systematic
conversion OF the debt,

THE TRIBUNE Fresh-Ar Fund. 1t publishes an APP
peal for giving week in tho country to the poor
and debilitated children attending four Sunday
schools and two ragged schools of the Northeast
London Gospel missions. ThecXpcriment If giving
the children a single day IN tho country during the
summer has been tried in previous seasons, and the
managers have been encouraged to extend the yaca-
ton from one day to seven. A rOOmy cottage has
been secured near Enfield and strenuous effort Is
to be made this year to raise 81 900 and take as
many as 800 children into the country for week
each. This is a beautiful charity which ought to
receive liberal support in great centre of wealth
like London. The work secms very meagre, how
ever. in comparison with The TRIBUNE's operations
IN the same field.

THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.



1t is not question whether it is worth
while to cultivate music in a civilized
community. Almost everybody who
spends money for anything spends more
or less for music. Parents pay for must
cal instruction for their children :;
churches pay for their choirs and organ
lists; parades and public occasions must
have bands. In one way or another we
all pay regularly and constantly for music,
And the pleasure derived from music is as
a general thing SO pure and good, so free
from deDuSng associations, often 50 con
nectcd with the higher euioymcnts and
pleasures, that it is recognized truth
that no well regulated community can
afford to neglect the cultivation of music.
For these reasons, it was a wise thing To
establish Philharmonic Society, to train
singers; to raise the standard of musical
taste; to give Us concerts and festivals of
choral music; and for these reasons
it is wise To sustain it literally.
The society has now given three annual
festivals each better and more SUGGEST ll
than the previous one. They have called
here the best instructor and conductor OF
choral festivals on this side the Atlantic,
They have brought here vocalistSo! nigh
order They have given some ol the finest
compositions Of the best masters. They
nave assembled here singers from the
country round, in constantly increasing
numbers. The Burlington Philharmonic
Festival has come to be considered stand
| ing institution, All who are interested in
| keeping up the reputation of our city as Il
desirable place of residence, a centre OF
culture and education as well rs of bust
ness, are interested in sustaining it--aud
in sustaining the society which supports
| il. The future of the Philharmonic Socie-
/ ty rests with our citizens. II they sustain
it generously it will repay them better
year by year. If they withdraw their sup
port it must go down.
An Attractive Programme.
The programme for the coming season,
/ proposed by the Directors of the Society,
is an attractive one 1t contenplatcs a
four days Festival, in the month Of Janu-
AIRY, to be conducted by Carl Herrahn,
with superior orchestra, the best New
England vocalists, and the largest chorus
that can be assembled here Al this the

great Handel, and will ill the four days

delightful music. Earlier or later in the

given by some company of established
