Some Other Opinions.

Another German enthusiast, E. W. Fritsch
editor of the Leipzig Massachusetts Wochen-
bIat. thus gives his impressions on hearing the
inventor display the advantages of the new
keyboard:
Il abstain from giving explanations but as
sure the reader that ] have never heard a
fuCue by Bach PLAYED to such perfection with
conVolutOns, as by Mr.. Won Janko. On that
memorable evening he played a series of
considerable masterShip. The most striking
feature was the production of new effects. We
heard chromatic octaves, glissandos of skies and
rriads, simple chromatic glissandOs, scales OF
chords of the sixth, all in a furious time
changes Of fingers in repeated octaves, runs
with two hands on different rows of keys which
in their remarkable effects resembled the pres
ent glissando, etc. What magic sounds would
not LisZt charm out of such an instrument
There is no doubt that there is bright future
in store for the new keyboard.
1t removes so many difficulties. and facili-
tates the attainment OF so high degree of per-
fection, that we cannot help thinking that such
enormous improvements must be the forerun-
ners OF new era of pianOforte playing
The American critics, who have not had the
same opportunity of famiharlzing themselves
with the workings of the new DEVICE could .ot
be expected to be so unreservedly enthusiastic,

The Abbott Phenomenon.

The Chicago Tunes is responsible for this
admirable presentation of a case that has in
like manner surprised many others:
The Emma Abbott Opera Company has
drawn full houses at the Grand Opera House

ton, only works which Miss Abbott has been
giving for years Without any disposition to
take from Miss Abbott's merits as a vocalist il
remains profound surprise that she holds her
popularity, go pronounced her manner.

Since her public career began some Is wears

Even then, before Chicago had heard the sound
of her voice. line of men ard bows stood all
night waiting for the opening of the sale of
tickets for her concert in Kingsbury Hall so
lngeniously had she been advertised. She had
thus reached at bound. and without sing
ing note here place in the public de-
mand that few artists with 20 times her
merit ever attain. As a matter of fact she
sang better then, for the most part, than she
does now. 1t is one of the not-to-b -be-explained
curioslties of he stage. In her whole repertory
there rs but one character which she has ever
done, here at least in a way to Justify one in
saying that IT was well done-that is to say that
the sooo I'D her representation predominated
over the h3d-and that one is TioLettd in
''Travlata. and she seems TO have dropped il
altogether. One never appreciates so keenly
the necessity Tor something to teach peopie
how to distinguish between the genuine and
the counterfeit IN musical art as when dunn

audience"

ing states should succeed in securing
its passage, they Of course will ex-
pect higher price for their cotton
thereby increasing the price of cot
ton goods-The grain growing sec
tons are interested in cheap goods
and high provisions, they of course
will want protection also-it will
arouse sectional antagonism, be-
sides will prove to be the very thing
desired by the manufacturer, and
will be a long stride, and prodigious
leap towards Capitalization, the very
principle which the Democratic
party mas fought since its existence.
The produce Of the farmers will be
locked up in warehouses, controlled
by the government, and the specu-
lator and "Cornerer" can the more
readily definitely estimate the sup
ply. From our standpoint we can
not see anything good for the pro-
ducer in the Sub-Treasury bill.
As our able and square-dealing
Georgia contemporary, the Macon
Telegraph, puts it:
"The Sub-Treasury bill involves q
principle contrary to all Democratic
teachings. 1t not only sanctions a
class legislation and special privileges
granted by the Republican party,
but demands that the practice be
extended.
The bill violates the great Dem
ocratlc motto of the Alliance.
Equal rights to all and special
privileges TO none" A certain class
only would borrow money from the
government; the merchanic and
the iaborer are debarred. 4.
Instead of adopting the Repub-
lican policy of class legislation,
which is the primal cause of our
troubles, and extending it over the
West and South, we should repeal
the laws granting special privileges.
Stop the evil. Reduce the tariff,
rem0nehze silver. Amend the bank
ing system SO that real estate will
be security for money. Establish
State banks under proper guards.
Administer the government eeono-
micaIly.
I'VE cannot DO these things UNI
less there are Democratic gains in
Congress from the West and North
to aid us; but we can secure these
measures much more easily than
pass the railroad and Sub-Treasury
bills, which would be detrimental.
The Democratic party is the
only Aope Of the farmer"

 Under the auspices of theAmerican and German Sections of this city Comrade Harry " Robinson of Boston delivered a most eloquent and interesting lecture on Scientific Socialism, the Basis of the Genuine Labor Party at the Labor Lyceum on Sunday evening Oct 2G. The spacious room of the Labor Lyceum was well filled with people who had come to hear this popular lecturer from Boston. In more than one sense it seemed sort of reunion of minds so- ciaIistically inclined, of past and present standing. The lecture itself was such a complete and exhaustive treatise of modern Socialism that it would be do ing injustice to the speaker to attempt to give a synopsis of it.
