THE NEXT COMIC OPERA,

The report that Gilbert and Sullivan have
made up their recent difference and will
continue to produce tuneful sarcasms for the
amusement OF the English-speaking world,
is good news for the public 1t not only
promises a continuance of that famous
partnership which has done so much to en-
liven and purify the stage; but it suggests
theme peculiarly suited to their treatment
and in which they might be expected to sur
pass their highest standard of past work.
When the details of that remarkable
quarrel were first made public, THE DIS
PATCH pointed out that its laughter-pro-
ducing features would make an unequaled
subject for a Gilbert and Sullivan opera,
subject to the obvious difficulty that no one
but Gilbert and Sullivan working in unison
could give it adequate treatment. The
witty author and skillful composer having
restored their entente cordiale, the difficulty
is removed, and there is no real reason why
they should not make their greatest nit by
working up an "Opera of Discords" and
inviting the public, which has SO often
laughed at their bidding, to laugh at them
and at their humor in the same production.
n 1t is true that a faithful representation BY
Gilbert of Sulliyan's encroachments is on his
personal rights, or reproduction in tone
sketches by Sullivan OF Gilbert's 1rascibiiity,
would be subject TO the peril of revIying
the old quarrel. But if these gifted humor-
lists study the subject with the determination
to make the most of its funny aspects, it
may make them angry, but it will have the
salutary effect of making them angry at
themselves. Since they have leveled their
shafts of satire at nearly everything else.
they should prove their impartiality and
their readiness to recognize good subject
for satire. which they have afforded in their
own persons.

contain any such loophole as the privileged
communication in the shape it was ex-
pounded for campaign consumption in this
State. One branch Of the Territorial Legis-
lature has passed q bill which makes it
criminal libel to publish any insinuation
against the character of a candidate or pub
lie official without regard to its truth.
There is something in this action strongly
akin to the objections of politicians in older
parts of the country against mud-slinging
campaigns. The Oklahoma politicians are
evidently opposed to mud-slingiug, and ex-
hibit the usual political tendency to favor
choking off the critics rather than nominate
candidates whose public record will defy
attack. Indeed some sarcastic comments
intimate that the cause OF this disposition
toward stringent libel legislation is the
secret conviction Of many of the Oklahoma
politicians that it would be very disagree
able indeed to have their regulations follow
them from their former homes
Under such circumstances, it this legis-
lation passes, the press of Oklahoma will
doubtless recognize in the future its conf
pulsory duty to leave the discussion of the
record of the politicians alone. No news
paper will be bold enough to assert of any
politicians, under such law, that he has
a reputation.

C0URIERs OF THE AIR.
The Training of Swallows and Pigeons fol-
Use as Messengers in War.

The Training of Swallows and Pigeons for
Use as Messengers in War.
From the Cornhill Magazine
Taking advantage OF two birds remarkable
for their long and sustained powers of fight,
experiments have recently been conducted with
view to utilizing swallows and pigeons as war
messengers. in this connection the use of
trained pigeons is one of the oldest institutions
in the world; though now that certain European
powers have trained falcons TO cut down the
pigeons, it is said that the pigeon-post is not
sufficiently reliable.
In consequence a number of French savants
recently approached the Minister of War, and
induced him to found a military Swallow
Cote, whence the birds might be trained The
Governor of Lille was charged to test the plan,
and certain experiments made at Roubaix last
year were commanded to be repeated under
the supervision of Captain Degouy. OF the
engineers. During the late autumn this gentle
man was tn be present at 4 grand flight of
messenger swallows; and if his report is favor
able, Swallow Cote will be founded and placed
under the care of special trainers at Mount
Valerien.
The idea of engaging swallows in war is
pretty one, as. in future, all European wars
will have to be conducted in swallow time
when the warm winds blow from the sunny
South. This arrangement will at least obyiate
night watches in frozen trenches, nor is it
likely that Dickets will any longer be starved to
death at their posts.

CANDIDATES ON PAPER.

Senatorial candidates are springing mn
like weeds in a wet season, if the newspaper
reports can be taken as any indication.
Following the mention of Filter and Hast
ings as contestants of Cameron for the
seat in the United States SeAate, comes a
report that Senator Delamater has entered
the field and will seek to get even for what
is asserted TO be Cameron'S failure to sup
port his Gubernatorial canvass, by retiring
the latter to private life and taking his
Senatorial functions to himself This is an
adaptation of Senator Delamater's private
plan for oyerthrowing machine rule in
Pennsylvania, which will be highly interest
ing-when it materializes in some other
form than newspaper gossip.
1t has long been understood that foreign
missions are to be used as consultations for
defeated members of Congress whose services
10 the administration entitle them to such a
mitigation of their misfortunes; but this is
among the earliest suggestions that seat in
the United States Senate is TO be used as a
consolation for defeated Gubernatorial candi-
dates In some aspects such theory
might be more attractive than the more
established custom OF making Senatorship
the perquisite of big bank account; but it
is subject to the fatal practical objection
that if defeat meant a United States Senator
ship, Guberuatorial candidates would court
de eat even more asslduously than Senator
Delamater involuntarily did during the re-
cent campaign.
OF course such rumors are not likely to
represent more than an active imagination.
There may be lively times over the Sena-
torial election; but if Cameron is to be de-
feated it will have to be done by setting up
an opponent of greater strength than that
demonstrated by the result OF Delamater's
canvass.

but none the less a pleasing DEPRESSION, the
topic being Woman in Her Home Temple"
In the paper on Philip H." Mrs. Becker
very cleverly portrayed the evil, inscriptions
mona-chs full of tact and the power of conceal
ing his viciousness, who usurped his own son,
Don Carlos, IN the possession of the hand of
Isabella and afterward connived at the death
of the same Don Carlos. The paper was full of
interest, as it was phase OF Spanish history
hitherto neglected in the study by the club, and
was prepared in an unusually taking manner.
In DR.. Rutan's paper, woman was held up to
view in physiological manner, and with such
witty and pungent remarks was the essay rife
that continual ripple of laughter followed
the thoughts expressed from beginning to end.
No business of any Importance was transacted.

Mr.. Warde and Mrs. Bowers Give a Power
full Performance of the Tragedy.
Macbeth was given at the Grand Opera

tolerably familiar 10 Pittsburgers. and its
power and peculiarities have been described in
these columns more than once. 1t is role

depicted finely by him. In the more delicate
portrayal OF the reflections of a haunted, terri
fed mind. Mr.. Warde is not SO successful. and
Booths marvellous treatment of the psychical
side of MocbetIPs character was not equaled.
1t is hardly necessary to add that this is not
saying that Mr.. Warde's performance was not
highly artistic, and in its boldest and most ter
rifle points powerful in the finest sense
Mrs. Bowers is beyond any doubt one of the
greatest Lady hocbeths that the American
stage has produced. In this role while her gifts
of elocution and the rich qualities Of her voice
are as prominent as usual, they sink into the
shade beside her histrionic triumphs The
picture of an extraordinary type Of woman
which Mrs. Bowers gave her audience last
night will haunt many memory for lifetime.
