I'm deciding to advocate the immediate al

Territories did not take hasty or ilI-consid-
cred action The TRIBUNE ha, discharged
what it considered public duty in calling the
committees attention TO the situation in the
southern part OF the Territory. where the Nor
mon Church is 80 strong that if any way il
left open for it to assert lis power Sclou,
social and political troubles may be apDrchcnd
ed The committee, We are sure, has not IN
the least underestimate the willingness Of this
inscription, hierarchy 10 sacrifice the peace
and prosperity Of Idaho 10 it, own financial
creed and love Of power. On the contrary,
this question has been thoroughly considered.
and the committee has reached the conclusion
that ample safeguard, have been provided in
the constitution adopted last fall by the people
Of Idaho against all such calamiticS
There is no question that in all material re-

seasons for such concerts i'm NcwYork. Mr. Thomas
continued
The reason ] have not been able TO give popular
concerts in New-Yorl in the summer for years is the

the public spirit Of John ID. Crmmins in building the

like TO do il for me and for the public lie has

The elections to the Reichstag which take

uSual importance and will be watched with
nrofound interest all over the world. Never
before has the issue at stake been of 50 vital
significance to the German Empire; for it is a
struggle between Socialism allied with Labor

Complaint is again heard in Wall Street that
the supply Of money Is not equal 10 ia" wants
OF the country. The declining bank reserves.
the failure of the greater part Ok the money
sent West and South last fall to return 10 this
city or to the Treasury. and the possibility Of
gold exports within few month, are felt a.
an embarrassment, not in speculative quarter,
only. but by those who have in hand new en-

loans are not of late impossible 10 effect. a..
they were for time last year. and the ruling
rates in this city are not now exceedingly high.
But il j. realized that the margin between thc

II is apprehended that speculation may bc de

The fact that larger sums than usual Ger

created large and legitimate demand for cur

possible TO measure accurately the business o.
a country so rapidly growing. or the needs Of
that business but the most conservative mind
may reasonably admit that this development
has rendered harmless and even apparently
necessary, an expansion Of currency which

with alarm.
For instance, the tonnage moved one mile

Mr. KREHBIEL ON TRISTAN IND ISOLDB'
THE THIRD LECTURE IN THE SERIES on WAC

THE THIRD LECTURE IN THE SEN E> ON - w"
NER AND HIS LYRIC DRAMAS.
The increased audience at II. f. KrehbiePs thirt
lecture Richard Wagner and His Lyric Dramas, 40
Stcnway Hall yesterday, testified to the favor with
which the series are received by the musical public.
Mr. Krehbel devoted his attention to Tristan una
Isolde" He sketched the difference between Was-
ner's version Of the Tri.tram legend and those Il
other poets. Wagner brought the story more into
harmony with the moral aspirations Of the time. lie
presents the idea Of fate in its latest form among the
Greek tragedians that is, that it is brought on by
wilfnl SIN Wagner works ont the medieval idea
of love which can never reach fruiton. Mans great
est happness is in oblivion. The highest good is the
surrender Of the desire for individual existence. This
WAS the keynote Of Wagner'- philosophy.
II is only fair to say that much Of the interest in
the lecture was due to Anton scidl's illustrations.
Mr. Krehbicl did not OyercS innate his assistants

The Senate did its obvious duty in passing
MIR. SaXtOn's Ballot-Reform bill yesterday. IL
Is to the credit of Senators Ahcaru and Chase
that they joined with the Republicans on the
final vote. With these two Democratic votes
there will be needed only one more to pass the
measure after that veto Of Governor Hills
which is as certain a. any future event can he.
This bill has been in the Senate longer than its
friends expected at the opening of the session.
1t is all the more desirable therefore, that the
Assembly should act upon it without any need
less delay.
