COMIC OPERETTAN

No form of light entertainment compares just
with comic Operetta in respect of popu-
larty. Steadily during the last decade liking for
it has grown apace, and Paris never danced more
madly TO the piping of the Satyr Of the Champs
Elysees than New-York and London are trying
TO dance TO the echoes Of his music now Bat
the old magic of his melodies is gone. The time
is ripe for his successor, yet the world is sterile
lie was the Beethoven of the sneerH said Emil
Bergerat, when Offenbach died, and then with a
fantastic pencil worthy of Jean Paul he drew
dreadful picture of Offenbach and his times Of
the mighty fiddler beating time upon the we'll
filed goatsltin and saving away ncross tho
strings, his mouth widened with a grin like
some drunken conception Of Edgar Poe or some
fantasy of Hoffman, while the startled birds
few back TO heaven, the moon split herself
back 10 her cars, and the stars gggled
behind their cloud fans. The planetary system
only revolved to frislSy rhythms, and the earth
herself, like mad top, hummed cOmically about
the Mortified sun. En- avant la musique! And
the old edifce crumbled in dust all around the
musician" To Bergerat Oifenbach was the great
disiusionizer of the age, the incarnation Of what
he conceives 10 be the spirit of the nineteenth
century, spirit that hates and cOntemns the
past, mocks at the things which the holy sim
plictyof former centuries held sacred throws rid-
cue/upon social sentiments, rank. caste. cere-
mohialism, learning, religion
The philosophy which gave birth 10 such con-
ception is not held by the majority of people Of
Northern >LIocd. In spite of the popularity Of
this form Of entertainment, attempts TO revive
the works OF OGolbach and his cola bcrat have
not been successful recently in London and New
York We do not refer 10 The Drum Major"
which has been monstrously perverted in the
adaptation And performance that its failure cannot
be charged against its original authors but to

1t is not probable that Secretary Blame mas
set himself any task which is impraclcable' or
likely to be fruitess. As PRACTICAL states
man he has probably measured the possibilities
much more correctly than some OF his European
critics. and is doubtless well aware that the
first step toward unity Of American nations on
matters of common interest is to secure unity

least difficulty, and particularly, of disposition

European help. If the Congress only makes
beginning in that direction, it will accomplish
more than enough to justify the invitation ex-

HARD BLOWS FOLLoH CHURCH FACTIONS
A LIVELY FIGHT TO GET POSSESSION OF TWO
CHURCHES.

CHURCHES.
Chambersourg, Penn, Sept 27.-A lively church
fight Is in progress among factions Of the United
brethren denomination at Greencastle and Clay Hin,
villages few niles south Of this place. the
ship Of church property. The congregations own .
church at each place. and each faction wants to hold
them both TO the exclusion Of the other and back up
their claims with their fists. AS a result dozen
suits and counersuits for assault and battery have
boon entered this week at the County Court here. At
tho recent conference OF the sect at York there
division between the Liberals and Radicals on
questions OF religious opinion and church government
and the former faction withdrew. The Rev. Dir.
Keter was chosen pastor by the Radical brethren AZ
Greencase and the Rev. Mr. Schcichter was made the
spiritual shepherd OF the Liberals at Clay Hill Last
week the Radicals secured the keys OF the church at
Greemcastle and proposed to shut out the Liberals
On saturday night, however, eight active Liberals
crawled I'm through the windows. They remained IN
side all night In order TO hold possession on Sunday
and slept on the benches. Early on sunday they
awakened by the unexpected appearance OF fifteen
muscular Radicals who quietly unlocked the doors and
rushed in. They ordered the Liberals out, but this
eight Liberals refused TO CO. Immediately two stall.
wart Radicals grabbed the leader OF tho Liberals aud
showed him through the doorway. Then there was
physical war. In the struggle that ensued, lasting
fifteen minutes, both sides fought bravey and we'll,
and every either side received vigorous
blows and numerous bruises. Black eyes and bleed
ing frequent, and and neckties were
angrily torn off. The Liberals, however, numbering
only eight at length ovelpOwered by the fifteen
Radicals and thrown bodily OF the open doors
and windows.
At Clay Hill the result otherwise, the Liberals
there getting on top. The Radicals had called meet
Ing but when Peter Nicholas, OF Chambersburg went
there TO speak few encouraging words TO his COM
rades and relate the victory over their opponents az
GreencaStle. he discovered that the Liberals had Sc
cured possession OF the building and had barricaded
the doors and windows against invasion. Being on
the outside and in the minority he withdrew with a
few followers TO the house OF neighbOring farmer
and from the front porch there conducted service With
out interruption. Now the County Court is asked to
for assault and battery and the Liberals sued cor
malicious mischief

tional idols of classical learning found it easy

baob's piquant rhythms and prettily SUPERFICIAL
melodies were perfect reflex of the dominant
art-feeling Of the Paris Of his day, just as the
forces TO which they we're welded were admirably
adjusted to the tastes Of the boulevardiers VINO
basled in the sunshine OF Napoleon the Little
and who laughed while their Emperor and their

follies to be scourgcd in London and New-York
every bit as fantastic as those Of Paris under the

Gilbert and Sullivan find no more themes' DOCS
the fault of their recent barrenness lie with them,
or has the taste of the public degenerated so
that horseplay is wanted in the place Of humor,
farce instead of fancy, and gaudy mummery IN
stead of music? For years they supplanted Ohen-
bach and his school, giving us compositions full
of delightful diversion yet free from pruriency.
An efervescent intellectually and fountain Of
insinuating melody were welded and brought into
the service of satire by masters whose tastes were
healthy and whose purposes were innocent OF
malice toward the things which the Anglo-Saxon
world deems sweet and lovely. Who will for
get the tender grace which rested on their
parody OF Tennyson's d" Princess'-the keen edge of
its satire buried underneath roses that sent out
their fragrant tribute to the sweet womanliness OF
the Laureate's heroine? In the hands of these
masters OF satirical paradox, may safely leave
all the elements of our social political and artistic
life They knew satirist's privilege, and Will

want can be filed. Thanks to the veteran Suppe
and the good singers of Mr.. McCaulls company,
that operetta has disproved the notion. into which
some managers seemed to have fallen, that the
music OF an operetta is minor consideration.
Its success during the summer season just ending
is creditable to the musical taste and judgment
of the people of New-York. To music-lovers it
has been a genuine delight, and to the believers
in sweet and wholesome comedy it has extended
the hand of hope. 1t has pointed managers to
Vienna as the fountain-head of the kind Of
operetta music that will guarantee success But
the satirical comedy ought to be Of native rro'
duction London collaborates with Paris; New
York ought TO work hand-in-hand with Vienna.
Who will send book TO Strauss or Suppe?

UNITY OF AMERICAN NATIONS.

1t begins to be understood among European
rulers that the Congress of American Nations
which Secretary Blaine has the credit of pro-
posing may mean something important. In
official ciIcles the matter is already discussed
with more interest than in this country, for the
magnitude Of South American trade, and its
importance to the prosperity of European ma
tons, a;e not generally appreciated here. The
official organ of the Austrian Minister for For
eign Affairs treats the subject very seriously,
if not very wisely, urging that any union Of
American Powers under common tariff would
shut out manufactured products of Europe to
a large extent, and affect most disastrously the
industries and trade of European nations. If
there is not the same official frankness in other
countries, which have even greater interest
than Austria in the matter, it does not follow
that the approaching conference is officially re-
garded with indiifel ence.
The apprehension expressed by some Eu-
ropean organs is that reciprocity of trade be-
tween American nations may be the outcome,
with general adoption Of the American finan-
cial policy of protection as respects trade with
Europe. 1t is by such organs suggested that
the shrewdness and tact of Secretary Blaine
NAV bring about even so great a revolution as
this. and that the combined efforts Of European
Powers may be insufficient to defeat it. To
Americans it is hardly necessary to suggest that
there is no evidence, to say the least that so
large a result from this Congress has been ex-
pected. Secretary Blaine is not ignorant Of
the powerful influences which will have TO be

St Louis is apparently giving Chicago hard
push in the work of piling up subscriptions for a
potential Worlds Fair. At last reports Chicago
had decided to run its guarantee fund up to the
trining sum of s1O.0O0,000. Obviously it was
St. Louis's turn. and she promptly stepped for
ward with the announcement that the work of
collecting funds there was "greaty exceeding the

These guarantee funds will certainly increase the
rivalry and hostility which the cities in question
entertain for each other but it is not easy to see
that they will serve any useful purpose.
