EMMA JUoH AT THE ACADEMY
A Season of Grand Opera In English
Week After Next.

Season of Grand Opera In English
Week After Next.
Grand Opera In English is seldom enjoyed
by the American public nowadays for the rea-
son that there are few organizations travel
ing that attempt to give it. This season
there is only one, the Emma Juch Company,
which gives good illustration of the survival
of the fittest as all other concerns organized
this year to give English Opera have been
obliged to disband through lack of patron
age. The Juch Company Is the largest con-
cern giving English grand opera In the world,
and is worthy successor to the Ratio nal and
America Opera Company. This is the fourth
year this company has toured the continent
and the organization is practically the same,
all the old favortes being retained by the
management and the public not only know
when they read the announcement of this
concern, that they will have the operas in
cluded in the advertised repertoire given In
superior manner, but they know also who will
sing them, and that they will be mounted on
a thoroughly correct scale and every atten-
tion given to detail. The possession OF the
National opera plant that originally cost over
$250000, enables Director Locke to mount
his operas as they should be. The scenery is
quite as correct, and gives the streets, interiors;
and castled hills of European cities and coun-
tries as the art histories tell us they were in
those days. Professor White, speaking OF the
Juch performances, says they are not only rich
musical treats but are also object lessons Of
ancient history. The Juch orchestra, under

THE ORPHANS OF Ni1w YORK
N. S. Wood In New Play at Harris
Bljou Theatre this Week.

N. s. Wood, the popular young star, at
Harris Theatre tomorrow evening, will pre-
sent his new play, "The Orphans of New
York" It's success so far has been very fiat
tering. The play is said to be a strong comedy
drama, written with view of bringing out
those qualities which have made Mr. Wood
so popular His role is that Of New York
bootblack, rough and ready, but tender and
true-hearted who goes by the sobriquet OF
'sThe Sinner" but whose real name is Percy
Atapood and his rlghtful position in society one
of wealth and standing. The Developments
of the plot are such as to bring Percys father,
who is supposed to be dead, to life, thereby
foiling the william in his scheming to steal a
fortune and eleYating "The Sinner to his
proper sphere. An important feature Of the
production is the scenery, which is all new
and above the average. 1t includes a capital
sunset view of Battery Park, New York City;
a grand reproduction of the destruction by
fire of the New York Orphan Asylum, show

The ..Esterhazx RlppIe."

1t is not often that one finds so many
charming features blended as appear in the
"Esterhazy Ripple" musical composition of
which Mrs. Alice c. Hill, of Washington, is
the author. The Countess Esterhazy's pict-
ure makes lovely frontispiece, and the fact
that the music is dedicated to the Rt. Hon.
w. A. Leonard, Bishop of Ohio, late OF Wash
ington, adds to it's attractions. Professor
Sousa, leader of the Marine Band, is having
a score made of it, and it will no doubt be
heard on Wednesday evening when the Poto-
mac Relief Corps, auxiliary to the G. A. r.,
give their anniversary banquet at Willard's

TIE NEW sOuTII.

The Chattanooga 7rddesmdn, pub
lished in the heart Of the great industrial
region of the new South, will, in its
forthcoming issue, give an interesting
review Of new industries in that part of
the country, brief statement of which
has been given TO the press.
The new industries Of the South for
the third quarter Of 1891. although fol-
lowing upon a period Of unusual activity,
number / 900. These include boot and
shoe factories, 5 breweIies, 36 brick and
tile works, 2 car works, IA canning FAC
tories, Scompresses and 40 cotton ana
woollen mills, 60 development and i'm
provenent companies, 80 electric light
companies, 81 flour and grist mills, 90
foundgies and machine shops, furnaces,
81 mining and quarrying companies ana
% oil mills, 1875 railroad companies and
80 steel and electric railways.
The number of iron and steel mills,
and mines TO supply them, and the mum
ber of railroad lines related to them
both as cause and effect, are particularly
worth noting. The coal and iron re-
sources Of the region lying along the
junction Of Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee are simply inexhaustible. Their
development ought to make of these
three states Republican strongholds, and
win in time. Chattanooga itself is a
Republican city, and, of course, re-
markably progressive one. 1t needs but
time and patience TO build new bulwarlSs
for the party of progress beyond Mason
and Dixon's line.

THE RAILROAD BONDS.

Tn the general proposition that city
or town may, with perfect propriety and
with great advantage TO itself, render
financial assistance 10 any useful indus
try, there is nothing repugnant TO com
mon sense; nor is such use of the
public funds or credit at all unusual.
Yet certain vindictive journalistic scold
of this city is making bitter attacks upon
the city authorities, in advance of any
action, because it foresees that they may
guarantee the bonds Of two proposed ex-
tensions Of railroads from this city.
Whether it is expedient or necessary
TO guarantee the bonds in either case is
question for municipal legislative de-
cision. Whether the city has the right
TO guarantee bonds for Oonsh action out
side the limits Of the State ie q question
for lawyers. But there is nothing in
herently improper in the proposition.
Common sense, not Mysteries, if you
please The city of Hartford provides a
fine building with power in which rooms
are TO rent fer small industries. 1t is a
splendid idea, because it helps build up
the city. Findlay, Ohio, advertises--or
did not long ago-free Sfuel, free
gas and exemption from taxation
for certain period as lures to new in
dustries. These measures are character
istic Of live, progressive towns. The
principle is the same with the railroad.
Comparatively few lines Of rail have been
laid in this country without public help
in some form or other, and the great
Canada Pacific Railroad, which with the
fine steamship line ON the Pacific has SO
materially shortened the distance round
the earth, was largely constructed with
public money. Our own grants of land
t0 Western railroads, though productive
sometimes of scandal, have been in the
main beneficent and have hastened the
country's development incidentally.
Either of the extension projects which
have been broached would benefit the
city as business centre. No one has
proposed that the city shall pay the
bonds, but guarantee their payment,
which is proper and important distinc-
ton. II is 80 be hoped that the PROPOSE
ton will be considered upon its merits in
spite Of clamor and misrepresentation.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-09-30

It is almost a year since the new tariff
went into effect among misrepresentation
and mi Understandings which were dis
croditable 10 the country. What have
been its resultsy
Ii was said that II would stop exports.
But within the last twelve months exports
have been larger in value than they ever
were before in any year. For the first
time the marvellous year 1881 has been
surpassed within the last twelve months
in spite of the short crops of wheat and
corn last year.
Ii was said that the tariff would "tax
everything from the cradle 90 the grave y
full half OF all the imports have been
free uf all duty, a thing which has never
happened before under any party or tariff
during all the seventy years Ia which rec
ord. Uf dutiable imports have been kept.
10 was SAID that the tariff would not
lessen taxes or burdens, but only made u
iraudulent prcteuCc OF reducing duties.
But the fact il that the duties paid i'm five
months since the new tariff went into full
operation have been smaller by S36, ,576. 600
than for the same months of the previous
year, "a decrease OF about 80 per cent. En-
elusive Of the receipts from sugar duties,
there has been an actual decrease in the
amount OF duties paid on other imports.
IL was said that the removal Of the sugar
duty was n cheat, would not benefit the
consumers, and would only enrich other
countries OF the Sugar Trust. The fact is
that the cost of sugar 90 consumers has
been reduced moro than cents per pound
which means an actual gain of more than
- year for every family, rich and poor.
A year ago granulated sugar sold for SOP
per lO9 pounds, aud now it sells for S431
per 100 pounds.
II was said that prices Of every article
consumed would De enhanced by the new
tariff The fact is that retail prices 20
consumers are almost without exception
a. low a. or lower than they were under
the old tariff. and this IL particularly true

Ys,r wonCEsrER CoNvENTIoN.

A more cut-and-dTied sort of conven-
tion than that at Worcester yesterday is
never seen and cannot easily be
imagined. Before the delegates as
sembled-before they had even left their
homes--every one knew perfectly well
who the nominees would be except for a
single Office of minor importance. The
whole theory Of q representative conven-
tion is suhvcrted by such pre-auunge-
ment Of nominations TO offices of the ut
most Importance.
The secret Oh the pertunctory nature
of the proceedings lies, OF course, in the
fact that the Democrats DO not hope TO
win 10 this falls campaign. The Nc
Kinley bill panic stampeded the voters
last fall, but they are thoroughly re-
pentant now and coming back IN dr0ves.
