GRAND OPERA IN GERMAN.

Mr.. Stanton revived Goldnarks Queen OF sheba, A
the second representation Of German opera last night
The opera four years the most popular In thu

Of the season, so far the general public were con-
cerned Its spectacular attractveness made II much
more popular even than Die Mesterslnger.' II wa
performed fifteen times and brought nearly II not qu

ago. Its tlnsel has not been permitted 10 become

given. Madame Lehmann's dramatic instincts were
attracted last year the part OF the Queen for which
I'm many respects fitted her better than for tho
part Of Suamh which she has hitherto been obliged TO
sing She has worked II out with much painstakna
and this season the Queen will be what bretst and
composer designed her 10 be, the central hgure In the
drama. To heighten its musical attractions she
has introduced some music fom the fourth act which
was sacrificed along with the whole scene TO which
it belongs when extremely necessary excisons we're
made In adapting the opera for performance. Con-
corning the effect Of the Interpolation, 1t scarcely
necessary to speak. Godmark Is not particularly
happy I'm the dramatic music Of the opera, and tina
new music does not elevate 1t appreciaby. Ito
principal value lies in the fact that II aonis Madams
Lehman an opportunity to exhibit generously bee
wondrous a;nuence Of voice and intensity Of declama
ton. That she looks the part OF Araby's queen
requires no saying.
Herr Perotti was the Assad of the occasion and was
as great an improvement on his predecessors in the
mart as Madame Lehman In the role OF the Queen.
There is not much be said in HIS favor actor
or even as dramatic singer, but he reveled in all
the high notes which were the bane OF Messrs. Ayay
and the other tenors who have essayed the part, and
hurled them into the concertroom with a prodlgaliy
that was amazing. OF the new representative Of the
High Priest Herr Behrens, IL IS sufficiently high praise
10 say that he came nearer than any one could have
expected to repairing the loss Of Herr Fischer in tho
part. He has sOn0rous ana musical
voice and capita stage presence.

sity and practicability of such system.

The Grand Jury have not gone outside Oh
their duty in the structures which they make
upon the Board of Electrical Control, though, as
Recorder Smyth well says, their presentmcnt
relates mainly to matters on which the LeGs-
lature, not the courts, must act. The Jurors go
directly TO the root of the trouble when they
saw that it was grave error to intrust the
work of putting the wires underground to set
of men having no practical acquaintance with
electricity. Nor can it be denied that the pres
ent Board have been " negligent as well as IN
competent" and deserve censure for the SLOW
and unsatisfactory manner in which the over
head wires are being removed. The neces-
sity of intrustng the control of the subways
etc, to competent supervision" as pointed out
by the Grand Jury, is apparent The gISt oil
the presentment is to be found in the last para
graph. but some of the minor recommendations
particularly the suggestion that the whole mat
ter of tearing up pavements, ETC., should be
under the control of the Public Works Depart
ment. and that contractors engaged IN under
ground work should prosecute it during twenty
four houls day, are thoroughly reasonable.

sary for each inhabitant than would nave oech
necessary in the transaction of the same business
Mt the same prices if the population was more
scattered and less highly organized in CONNER
cial facilities. AS the density of population
and the supply of such facilities increase faster
than the numerical strength, no larger currency
is required from year to year. But there are
mutitudes who fail to understand this, ana
they act and vote upon the understanding they
nossess According to the popular belief, that
! the circulation ought to be proportioned TO
ropuIation, some addition of silver or silver
certificates may easily appear moderate meas
| ure.
| There is another thing to be cons dered The
cold and gold certificates now outside the
! Treasury amount to nearly five hundred mill
ions. II is obvious to those who look about them
that this part Of the monetary supply is not as
much used as it formerly was. For one reason
or another, and probably for a combination of
many reasons, gold is but rarely seen in crcu-
latiOn in most of the States. Some of it is no
doubt boarded, but more lies idle because the
people find paper representative dollars more
convenient so long as they are accepted as the
equivalent of gold. The question TO be care
fully considered is whether the partial disuse
of gold may become a total dsuse, if the vol
ume Of other currency is largely increased
To make dogmatic predictions about the
matter is foolish because it depends after all
on the disposition Of the people and that dis
position changes from year to year, and may
even change very quickly. Some of the most
laughable reading which can be found any
where in these days is the solemn predictions
of conservative and prudent people, made when
the Bland-Allson bill was enacted in 1873, in
regard to its effects. In eleven years it has
added to the circulation very largely, and par
ticularly to the circulation based at least nom
inally upon silver, and yet the peOple'recognize
no difference in value whatever between the
different forms of currency, prefering them
only as they find one or the other the more
convenient for their needs. But the fact must
be faced that danger lies somewhere in the
direction Of increase of representative paper
and decrease Of the gold which in public ac-
ceptation it represents.

THE SILTER QUESTION

Can the country afford to buy and lock up
silver at the rate Of n 100000 per month /?
That would mean n purchase Of silver bullion
costing $40, 000 600 yoasly, against which coin
or certificates would be issued for about $50 =
OOO. 900. II is argued that bank circulation
is going out of use at the rate of nearly
$40, 600, 600 yearly, so tha' the substitution Of
silver would add not more than 80 q, 900, OOO.
and that such an addition being less than the
actual tate of increase to tho population, would
produce no dangerous imitation, but would
simply keep the ratio of currency to population
more nearly where it now is. With about one
thousand four hundred millions of all kinds Of
currency in use, and population increasing
at the rate Of 3 per cent yearly, an addition Of
81 100000 yearly would not be hazardous
if these reasoning are correct
IL should be unnecessary at this late day in
the discussion to repeat that an increase OF pop
ulation does not necessarily require any in
| crease whatever in the volume OF circulation.
The multiplication of many economies such as
banks, savings banks and clearing houses, in
| any well-organized and closely settled popula-
ton, renders o much less sum OF money neces-

IHE THO GREET PROBLEMS.

From time to time the delegates to the Pan
American Congress, or, at least many OF
them, have indicated subjects upon which, in
their judgment an agreement should certainly
be reached and scheme Of action arranged to
be submitted TO their respective Governments.
Upon two Of these subjects there seems TO be
perfect unanimity. and the relation between
these two and number Of others is so direct
and intimate that one may well imagine, if they
agree upon these, they can hardly fail to agree
upon practically all that are within the scope
Oh their deliberations. There seems TO be per-
lect accord upon the proposition that concerted
international action should be taken TO provide
either line Of railroad or lines of steamsbins
or both, in aid Of international trade and travel
1T is also agreed that standard coin, preferably
Of silver, should be made for international c;
culatiOn. There are differences Of opinion a. IN
the extent to which the Congress should GA IN
aiding proposed steamship or railroad cornora.
tions and what shape should be given TO sucb
aid. There are differences too, as to the proncr
weight and value Of the proposed coin, and the
limitations if any which should be put upon
its use. There is no room, however, within the
range Of these differences for fatal division
of sentiment. Upon the main points the Con-
gress is SO e-minded that questions of detail
should be easy Of settlement
The object Of this conference. in word, is

1t is profoundly to be hoped that the report
Of another revolution in IIayti may prove mis-
taken. In her present condition Hayti cannot
stand another such strain upon her resources as
would be involved in new struggle against
IippOlyte. The petty ambitions OF selfish and
INSCRIPTIONS faction leaders are the curse OF
many of the Central and Southern American
countries, and it seems passing strange that the
people thus gricvously afflicted endure that kind
Of leadership. In IIaytis case, especially, the re-
vival Of civil dissens is of dreadful conse-
oucnce. Already the little Republic is in
financial straits so heavy as to test the in
pennity of the people to its fullest extent. An
other war will leave them helpless and hopeless,

Postmaster-Ge neral Wanamaker Is hoo ell

of the Dominion Government. 1t may well eX-
cite the curiosity of Governor Thomas and the

they undoubtedly went under orders from the
