Popularity of French Opera.

New York Town Topics.
It Is really remarkable how popular
French opera has become in this city among
people who but few years ago woull have
been horribly shocked at the suggestion.
The intimatiOn at that time that La Jolie
Parfumeuse' would lie sung was sufficient
to almost create fainting spell among
some very proper ladies. In those days,
outside of the French residents of New
York, French opera bouffe was looked upon
as an amuse ment solely for men, and it was
considered very Did for any lady to attend
it. Even nowadays it is not an unusual
sight to see young ladies attending at what
would have been considered few years
ago indecorous performances

Public OPINION.

The most gratifying feature of
the appointments, however, is the
fact that both the new commission
ers are pronounced democrats. Not
that there should be anything Of a
pertisen complexion about the civil
service commission, bat because ii
is an acknowledgement that many
democrats are honest civil service
reformers and may be trusted to
carry out the law with fairness and
effic'ency.-New York World, Dem.
The best feature of the result is
that it was 4 victory OF democrats.
by Democracy, for democracy,
squarely fought ana t..riy Won
against heavy odds. |, carries with
it the lesson that the American peo-
pie in governing themselves will
never submit To the ,lictation of men
who call themselves the remnant,
and assert right to rule from SUI
perior goodness. 1t takes the mug
wump out of politics-in other
words, "squelches" him. Let US
sing the Doxology.-St. Louis Re
