THE EXPLORATION OF IDAHO.

The melancholy accident which marked
the close OF hunting expedition In which
officers of the army were engaged. a year
ago, made an exploration of Northern
Idaho a matter of duty. Ten or twelve
years ago mineral discoveries in the Ceur
G'Alene country led tc a pretty thorough
examination Of the Latah country and of the
western slope of the Bitter Root Range.
But south of the Ceur d'Alene country
as far down as the Salmon River the terri
tory is as completely unknown as the villas
of West Australia. where they are now
discovering gold. 1t is. therefore, not sur.
prlsing that the War Department should
have put two parties into the field to look
into this unexplored region and find what
there is in il.
One Of the expeditions, which is to be
commanded by Lieutenant Leyden of the
Fourth Infantry. will start from Fort Sher-
man, near COur d'Alene Lake, and will
cross the State to the Mullan trail on the
Montana border; thence, striking south,
it will reach the north fork of the Clear
water and pursue it to the Lolo trail.
which it will follow to the valley which
leads to the point of beginning. The other
expedition, which will be commanded by
Lieutenant Elliott Of the Fourth Cavalry.
will explore more southern field. Start
ing from Walla Walla, in Washington. it
will make for Lewiston Oh the junction
of the Clearwater with the Snake; thence.
pushing over the Lolo trail, it will move
as far east as Weippi; then. turning south,
it will gain the middle fork of the Clear
water; thence, turning north again, it
will return to civilization at the point OF
departure - Lewiston. The two expedi-
tons are expected to acqusint geographers
with the whole of Northern Idaho between
46 deg. and 48 deg, a region which is COM
paratively unknown.
The resources of the Young State are
realized by few. Ten years ago the Gov
ernOr reckOned that it contained about
II, 000, 600 acres of land suitable for agri-
culture, and an equal area which might be
made suitable by system Of canals, about
100000 acres of pasturage and grazing
lands, 10000. coo acres of timber lands and
100000 of mineral lands. Since then an
extensive system of canals has largely in.
creased the area of fertile farm land,
| and almost every year some extension
Of the mineral area has been re-
ported. Yet the population of the State.

r1USIC AND MUSICIANS.

celence has deteriorated al the Wagner fes.
tival at BayTeuth this year. Some Of the veteran
artists are losing their voices, and the new
corners are insuffciently trained Indeed Nine
NOrdica. the American pr1ma donna. appears
to have been quite the star OF the festival. The
chorus singing has been severely criticized
and, in fact, some OF those who devoted the
time and money to journey to Bayreuth, and
paid for seats at So per night, appear to have
deemed themselves Ill remuneraied by indIffer.
ent vOcaliSm, relieved only by excellent stage
management and performance without cuts
In this country representation lasting nearly
seven hours, including entr' actes, would OF
course, be impossible, but In stage manage
ment some hints might certainly be taken from
Bayreuth. In "Lohengrin." for example the
chorus, instead of standing around 10 a semi.
circle or being grouped on terraces on either
side Of the stage, and expressing their surprise
by a semaphoTe action OF the arms, now walk
about the scene, sometimes tearing down
branches from the poplars and weaving them
enthusiastically, and at others Joining arm in
arm, four abreast, and marching round The
victor in the fight. In the scene before the
cathedral, and again in the wedding chorus, the
stage management appears TO have been equally
intelligent. The concealed orchestra, on the
other hand, has been found wholly unsuiled to
sucn an opera as "Lohengrin."
An interesting BIT OF musical news is that
Dvorak Is 10 return to New York as tina di-
rector of the National Conservatory, and also
that Anton Seidl is TO have charge OF the
operate department of the conservatory. Mrs.
Thurber is TO be congratulated upon the staff
of the conservatory and those young men and

also TO be congratulated upon the opportunities
IL offers them. Not only are the tuition fees

A MUCH-NEEDED DIVORCE.

One argument in favor of taking munic-
ipal government out of national politics is
found in the contentious that are almost
continuous in all large cities. The sue
cess of a party in the State is often subor-
dinated to local interests. An example is
now found in the discussions of New
York City Republicans. 1t is believed
that if local differences could be harmon
lied the Republicans might carry the
State this fall. and thus prepare the way
for a Republican victory in 1896. But
