MUSIC--THE DRAMA.
BROOKLYN PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

There were but few new faces in the orchestrs
before which Mr.. Thomas stood yesterday afternoon
at the public rehearsal for the first concert OF the
Brooklyn Philharmonic Societys thirty-fIst season.
All the principal places filled by the who
have been identified solely with Mr.. Thomas's
certs for several years. and the few newcomers

a need In the English language. The fact can be-
accepted by those inclined 10 be distrustfu

wise inferior to those Of the last halfdozcn sea-
sons in which the Society has achieved IT'S greatest
artistic successes
The rehearsal was every way delightful and yet
only foretaste Of the more exquisite pleasures which
will be provided by tho concert tonight 1t opened
with a novelty by Crieg-a concert overture, enti-
tied " In Autumn" This new work does not strut.
like many compositions Of its class, and might even
be said TO DO wanting in real dignity Of subject
The Circumstance that the first phrase Of the subject
of its introduction which is often REQUIRED to IN tha
development Of the allegro, is amusingly Ike tho
beginning OF Yankee Doodle" in a minor key, is
little disturbing to that seriousness of mood with
which a large work by a sterling composer ought to
be approached, but 1t does not preclude feeling II
admiration for the original and ingenious orchestral
effects which fill the work. The spirit Of the piece
Is Enthusiastically Morse, and its humor IS mixed with
that melancholy which seems inseparable from the
rugged physognomy Of nature In the north country.

4 RUFFIAN WHO OUGHT TO BE IN JAIL.
The slippery, tricky and dlsreputable English
pugilist, Mitchell, who is about the worst of as
bad lot of professional lawbreakers as ever
disgraced any country, has issued to Dempsey one
of the most impudent propositions that even q
prize-fghter would venture to put forth. This
fellow proposes to give Dempsey 81, 900 if Demp-
sey will stand before him for eight rounds in a
glove fight, while of course Mitchell intends to
pocket all the gate receipts, which would amount
to many thousands of dollars. 1t is had enough
TO be professional and habitual yiolator of the
laws, as Mitchell is and always has been, but it
is even worse to propose to commit crimes in so
mean, snealxing underhanded and one-sided
manner as this EngIishman intends doing. His
talk and his performances are characteristic Of
the whole brood Of English brusers, who rarely
hesitate 10 drug and poison any dangerous an
tagonist, as they did in the case of Heenan. AS
a rule, they have been of the vilest scum of the
criminal class, with not glimmer of fair play,
or even the sort Of honor that prevails among
thieves, in their filthy and degraded souls.
Mitchell is notorious brawler, who has fond
ness for attacking and beating men far inferior
to him in strength and skill. His acquaintance
with American life ought to be strictly and
sternly confined to such gimpses OF it Us he can
get from the interior Of Sing-Sing cell. He
has broken the law over and over again in this
country in promoting and making arrangements
for prize-6ghts. lie ought not to be allowed
to remain at liberty with his braggart buster
and his persistent efforts TO bring about breaches

so might cause checks representing little more
than once the value At one time most OF the
dealings might be between operators who hap
pened to keep deposits at the same banks, so
that their checks to each other would not pass
through the Clearing House at all at another
time nearly all the checks for stocks purchased
and loaned would so pass. But now the unre-
liability of clearings has vastly extended, first
because Of the development of speculation in
Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities,
at brokerage houses and bucket-shops through
out the country, and second because of the
enormous variation in exchanges arising from
grain, cotton and other speculative operations.
To illustrate when the country is gambling
largely orders for purchases or sales are wired
to New York, and for such orders remttances
to New-York represent only the margin re-
quired perhaps 10 per cent. But when the
country is selling stocks drafts pass for the en-
tire market value of the sales through interior
banks, and also checks first for the stocks Dor
rowed to sell in advance Of their actual re-
cepts, then for their value, and finally from
any investing buyer to the broker or from
lender to borrower of money The difference
in amount of exchanges created by sales OF
100000 shares of stock may be enormous.
In the same way gambling operations in wheat
or cotton lead to one set of exchanges, while
actual sales of products lead to widely differ
ent set. The great change within the last few
years in the volume of speculative operations
has therefore rendered it impossible to judge
of the volume Of legitimate business from the
amount Of bank clearings
But If any one will reckon up the quantities
Of products moved from farms or mills or mines
to consumers within the last four months in
comparison with the movement last summer
and fall, he will soon realize that Mr.. Depew
did not speak without some knowledge And
though his estimate, like any other, is liable to
error, it must be admitted that he possessed
some information in knowledge of the details
of the traffic over one great system of roads,
and Of the tonnage over the trunk lines, which
is not possessed by the public.

THE VOLTNE or BUSINESS.

The time has gone by when the clearings Of
the banks outside New York could be safely
relied upon as evidence of the volume of legiti-
mate business; and the clearngs at New York
never could be properly so regarded Yet
Bradstreets" quotes clearings at all points as
a sufficient answer to the statement of Mr.. De-
pew that business has been greatly diminished
by the uncertainty attending the Presidential
election. When the comparison of bank re-
turns was begun by 1.-The Public,n twelve
years ago, it was recognized as it has been ever
since by all experts that the volume of ex-
changes at New-York being caused in a large
but not ascertainable degree by trading in Sc
curities, could not be treated as evidence Of the
volume OF business proper. There never was
any certainty that a constant or nearly con-
slant relation existed between the market value
Of securities sold and the bank clearings arising
from such sales In one month nearly all tho
sales might be of borrowed stock, and SO might
cause checks TO pass for more than twice the
market value The next month nearly all the
sales might be Of stocks owned by sellers, and

Square Garden is one of the things that can
be taken for granted But this does not make
the wretched sport respectable. Indeed, to
call it sport at all is to mako the loosest use
of language 1t will be, like its predecessors,
pitiable exhibition of endurance, scarcely
above the plane of the cock-fght. That any
lover of real sport on the turf, the water or
the ball ground can take any satisfaction in
such display passes comprehension. As
oney-making device this walking match will
doubtless be successful, but it deserves to rank
with the devices of men who get money from
their fellows on false pretences.

became apparent, Mr.. Powderly himself pro-
posed that the Master Worlmans salary be
reduced to So, 900. Nevertheless, it was
decided to continue it at the old figure, $4,000.
This was clearly a bit of uncalled-for gen.
erosity on the part of the delegates to the Gen.

that it exposed him to the suspicion that his
recommendation was not made in entire good
faith, and he has refused to accept more than
