Mr.. AIKEN's CONCERT.

Mr.. George L. Aiken, who by keeping alive
the English Glee Club has coGtributed deal Of
pleasure 70 the lovers OF elee singing, and
therefore merted well at their hands found his reward
last night at tho concert in Chokering Hail. The aut
ience was a Numerous one, Of fine quality and highly
appreciauve OF the music offered them Mr.. Akcn's
helpers were the members OF the Club headed by
Miss Henriette Beebe the stock ErchaDe,
Glee Club Of which Mr.. Aiken j. conductor
and Mr. Richard Arnold The programme was In charac-
like those OF the too few ee evenings Of the season.
with the addition OF two violin solos by Mt Arnold The
concert was cOrresponGiugly pca5ur3hle; there
was most cordial sympathy beween per-
formers and listeners and Mr. Aiken made e. ai-
reoiate how well he stands with that large portion OF
our public which finds entertainment in light music OF
good character.

REFORM IN CHICAGO.

There arc indications of popular Impotence
with the maintenance of abuses III local admin
,strotion at Chicago. The Cincinnati outbreak
stimulated this feeling, and since then 1t mas
found energetic expression in mass meetings.
lectures and other forms of discussion and ven
tilation. At recent mass meeting General
|. n. Stiles charged that the grand lnIics "ero
Systematically packed, and that evildoers WIFI
money or influence escaped punishment. Inc
most notorious offenders, he sald, got OH scot
free. lie also alleged that the Common CouncHl
was corrupt, that the criminal laws were nor en-
forced. and that I" if such condition OF affairs
. was to continue it would not need great provo
cation to produce such excitement that 1t
would cpd in mob violence, as 1t ana Ill Cih-
gcinnati.r He. however cOunseled patience
and attention to local politics, and particularly
indepcndcnt action in regard TO the cholcc oI
municipal officers. A somewhat sensational lee
tlre on "The Signs of the Times was on the
same evening delivered by the Rev. DR.. HAT
field. who denounced the criminal code rs
vicious, and also arraigned public sentiment
which he said had become indifferent to crime
and outrage The failure to punish murder, he
declared. had so encouraged lawlessness that
every month He, however, appears rather to
have approved of popular uprisings, or Mt least
he does not seem to have proposed constitu-
tional remedies.
Now these symptoms of restlessncss and dis
satisfaction are not simply the reflection of the
Cincinnati excitement. They indicate the exist
ence at Chicago of the same incentives to yio-
lence which were present in the Ohio COM
munity. Nor can there be any doubt that the
great progressive Western city has for long
time been dominated by mischieyous and SIMS
ter elements, as unhappily all large cities II
these times are liable to be. But the popular
liberation of abuses has limits, and too often
those whose apathy is really most 10 blame for
abuses persuade themselves that they are JUS
titled in alternating this culpable indifference
with as culpaole a violence.
1t is to be hoped that the people of Chicago
will realize their own responsibility for the
evils of which they complain, and that they Will
resolve to reform their government quietly and
peaceablv by the lawful exercise of the power
they undoubtedly possess The case of Cncin-
natl offers indeed a warning and example; but
the waning is against the sulferance OF abuses
until they have become intoerable, and the ex-
ample is of mistaken methods producing disas-
trous consequences, which should be avoided
by all other American communities.

pected to entertain q dull and drowsy world
during the next quarter century. Among the
new men are Blackmorc, Hardy, Black and Nor
ris, in England, not one of whom, as vigorous or
even bright story teller, can be compared with
Charles Reade, at his best, to say nothing Of
George Eliot, Dickens and Thackeray at their
worst The newer novels are either sketches
and character studies, or else are made up
almost entirely of dialogue, more or less AMI
mated They are recitals without acton anu
dramatic fire. Plot there is little or none; analy-
sis of motives for the plainest conduct ana ex-
plantations OF the most obvious situations are
not wanting; and Of literary art there Is enough
and 10 spare. But the novels of the time have
lost the power OF commanding the readers ut
tention, and making him forget the Ills ana
worries or even the absorbing pleasures OF HE.
The imagination is not touched. The SYM
pathies are only languidly engaged. AS Ihe
Spectator quantity says: Nobody gives us en-
claiming bOoks-abOye ALL enchanting hctions.
The living author must always serve as
channel for the communication of the thought
of his time This is probably the true explana-
ton of the dccadcncc of the modern art OF fic-
ton writing. The analytical tendencies and
Sclcntlnc spirit OF the present generation uo hOt
favor the development of imagination i'll litera-
ture. Even the chidren's books have become
never-ending round of journeys, to all the coun-
tries Of the inhabitable earth, with railroad
maps on the covers and Itineraries in the APP
pendix, and with cold lunches of geographical
and scientific knowledge served at every sta
ton, and tedious elderly person, generally
naturalist to keep up an incessant chatter as
the train speeds along AS the children fare, so
do the elders. What wise generation this
one must turn out, if only fraction OF the
knowledge impaired to it is retained! The
book makers have ransacked every country In
the world for material; there are new volumes
without number of biography, travel and
politics histories are first abridged and then
condensed into pocket manuals; scientific re-
search fills a long book shelf OF a popular
library, and then congresses all that 1T knows
into a series of primers and so the work OF IN
forming a workaday world and practical age
goes on. The educated classes are either
losing their poetic sensibilties, or else allow
themselves no intervals for intellectual ENJOY
ment and refreshment.
