THE opening of the Academy of Music
was a success. The management is to be
congratulated that the opening night
gathered the best people in the city to
hear exquisitely beautiful music rem
dered by our own people. The manage
ment is to be congratulated upon a
successful opening in the presence of the
largest, most intelligent and most FASH
ionable audience that was ever brought
together in Wilmington. The manage
ment is TO be congratulated for
q pretty auditorium with an unusually
large seating capacity, in which all the
improvements of modern architecture
have been applied to perfect the seeing
and hearing advantages of every one Of
its 800 seats. The balconies and the
proscenium boxes are graceful in their
lines and effective in economizing space.
The view from the first balcony is a
revelation of lines Of beauty and pleasing
schemes OF decorative coloring. The
management is to be congratulated for
inaugurating house that is beautiful,
with music that was exquisitely tuneful,
and with musical club which Is equal
in choral strength and culture to any
organization in the country. Beginning
with the Tuesday Club the management
proposes TO keep up the standard Of en-.
tertainments to the highest possible
grade. Dixey's humorous and refined
Seven Ages" will follow the Tuesday
Club and then the intensely interesting
Shenandoah, full Of the sweetest
pathos Of a love story between the
North and the South will
occupy the boards. The people Of
Wilmington are to be congratulated
upon such pretty, commodious and well.
located public hall, and they should show
their appreciation constantly, literally
and substantially. The Academy Of
Music is a credit to the city, and it should
DO sustained, so that what entertain
ments we have shall be elevating-not
degrading and meretricious.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
An Erra,ic Journalist.

IL has long since ased to be of any
conse9 uence what political views or pre-.
dictions appeared in the New York Sun.
It's persistent villifcation Of Mr.. Cleve.
land its coarse, brutal and dishonorable
invasion of his private life its attempt
to excuse itself for such course by the
pretence Of praise for Mrs. Cleveland
have lost it the respect Of the country
Just as certainly as its political vagaries
have cost it the confidence of the Demo
cratic party.
It is strange that newspaper, which
repudiated the Democratic nomination in
1884 and in 1883, should still believe that
candidate distinguished by it's support
could be strong in Democratic national
convention. Yet in recent issue the
New York Sun. indulging in its most
extravagant rhetoric, says of Governor
Hill:
New York will be entirely unanimous
in the National Democratic Convention Of
1892 The entire delegation will be
earnestly, enthusiastically, unchangeably
in favor of the nomination of states
man whose democracy is most genuine,
whose genius has been proved by much
experience, and by many battles, and
whose popularity among the Democratic
masses of New York is deeper more
heartfelt, more comprehensive, and more
jealous than has been enjoyed by any
statesman of recent times. not excepting
samuel J Tilden, Silas Wright, William
L. Marcy or Martin Van Buren,. Indeed,
to find its parallel, we should have to go
back to the days Of Andrew jackson.
The country cannot be induced to take
seriously such utterances as these. They
are simply specimen of the peculiar
humor Of the New York Sun, or they are
sound and fury signifying nothing
In the first place New York is not
unanimous for Governor Hill; in the sec
ond place If II we're as unanimous as the
Sun claims, that unanimity would be as
nothing compared to the unanimity of
the rest of the country against him
New York may refuse to support Mr.
Cleveland; that remains to be- proven,
but If it does, it will be useless for New
York to suggest any other 'favorite son,
unanimously or otherwise

The Republican party or its leaders
have changed and disco Yered a new
theory which we know nothing Of
formerly and which is not Republican in
principle ct all
Thus the disintegration goes on. The
