The Music ofthe Future

Perhaps the music of the future, at
ishes scene and bravure, and makes opera
a drama told and acted III music, but not
by single singers singing single songs-per-
haps this advance has Anticipated the indi-
yidual triumph i'll the general effect. No
more Catalan, no moro Pasta. no more
Duptez, Grisi, Mario, Jenny Lind, but the
large Scandinavian figures intoning with
the orchestra large dramatic harmonies,
and producing large combined effects in
which individual contribution is lost, like
tho note of the horn or tho oboe or all sim
gle Instruments in the happy blending of a
multitude.
But whether this be the music of tho fu-
ture or only of the present, it is tolerably
clear that the muaic of the past, the Italian
opera of Roasini and Bellini, of DoziZetti
aud Verdi, has not been restored TO the
throne by the campaign of tho winter.
Whether We ara gong to reach the on
chanted isles and touch the shores of n new
world or not, WE have left the shores of the
old. The day of the tum-ti-iddity is
passed. The fascinating cantatric., as VIZ
called her, 40 longer charms the house by
her exquisite rendering of Buy a Broom
We may lament it il We choose; We may be,
wall the departed and fling garlands on thu
grave; but for all that the old business i
not conducted Mt the old stand. Nor is i
at the opera only that we learn this great
truth. 1t is rs evident in the concert hall

This New York World, in discussing
the rustler war in Wyoming, says:
THE outbreak Of hostilities in Wyoming
between the ranohmen aud tho ,uatlers Ia a
passing disturbance, and is significant
merely or coming changes in u system Of
cattle supply"
The situation is too serious for
tritling comment. 1t will be many years
in the northwestern country before the
cattle range disappears. There is a vast
stretch Of territory that cannot be irri-
gated and can DO used only as a cattle
range. So long as cattle raising is
profitable there will be- vast herds,
armies Of cowboys and a great amount
Of capital invested in the business. The
conditions are not likely to change ma
terially in northern Wyoming and
southern Montana for a long time. TX
the rustler war is not soon settled we
may expect a continuance of these
troubles next year and nosslbly for a
much longer period. Prompt and
effective measures at this time alone
will settle the question satisfactorily.

SEVERAL officers Of the Wyoming
state militia have resigned on the
ground that the governors failure to
call the armed forces Of the state tc
quell the rustler wal before calling upon
the general government was a slur on
the organization. In view of the fact
that nearly every citizen of the state is
personally interested in one side or the
other the governors action seems on
tirely iustitiable.

expression of the opinion of the voters

expression Of the opinion Of the voters
is assured.
Among the Republican stuff in circu-
lation last evening were bogus kilograms
OF various sorts. Some OF these con-
tanned the silly assertions that the
Democrats were ''giving up" something;
others that Cleveland money was being
withdrawn by betting men, and others
still that sports and others in the big
cities, WHO had bet on Cleveland were
hedging. People who are familiar with
the lack of Republican anxiety to bet In
this city, simply smiled at statements OF
the sort referred TO.
The "dear WoFkiDgman" was the o.
iect OF much sOlcitude to the &. o. p.
leaders Yesterday and last night, and as
many OF them as would listen were re-
called with a choice assortment OF cam
paign falsehoOds, rOOhrbacks, fraudu-
lent statements, bogus kilograms, etc.
Among them was the letter gotten up
by the Republican managers at Pitts
burg, and purpOrting to have been
signed by Hugh O'Donnell. They knew
it was too late to deny this sort OF rub
bish, in an effective manner, and 1t was
worked all right, for all it was worth.

A rumor was quite extensively circu-
lated yesterday among the members OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernlans tend
ing to incite them to enmity for the
Democratic ticket, especially for the
Democratic candidate for Sheriff, Franz
helm. Just who the party was who
started the story could not be learned,
but it was heard In various parts OF the
city, and information Of the same
reached the REGISTER Office early last
evening. The baseless story was TO the
effect that Rev. Father McElllgott had
advised the members Of the order not
to vote for Franzhelm, which 1t is
claimed he did at meeting OF the Or
der held last Sunday.
Desiring to fathom the story, the
REGISTER telephoned Father McElll-
gott, at the Wheeling Hospital last
evening, and was told there was no
truth Whatever in the statement; that
he had told the members nothing that
could possibly be construed into such
statement. This effectually wipes out
another of those daring political lodges,
in which the Republicans have been so
actively engaged. From all that can
be learned the members Of the Ancient
Order of Hiberbians will vote for Franz
helm, almost TO a man, ana us 700
loyal and stalwart an organization to be
duped 0y such innuendoes as above
mentioned.

A good story is told on Senator Alex.
Campbell, who made the break at New
burg that the Republicans had to fight
the Catholic Church, which occurred at
Warrington. Campbell made a speech
at that point some weeks ago, As is
his custom he slaShed around and hit
everybody without regard TO the truth
of his charges. 1t is sufficient that the
party to be attacked be a Democrat,
with him. He jumped onto Clarence
L. Smith, of Fairmont, attacking his
conduct while member Of the Uni
versity Regents. Tom Staggers, an
other Republican, was TO follow
Campbell at Warrington. Staggers
is good Republican, but
Smith is his fellow tOwnsman at Fair
mont and he knew the attack made on
Smith by Campbell was malicious and
false. When Staggers arose be said
that Smith was bis neighbOr and that
the attack made upon him by the
sneaker who had just closed was unjust
and untrue, and with this statement be
sat down, refusing TO make q speech.
