THE CHINESE SMUGGLING CONSPIRACY

The WORLD has unearthed great Of
fetal scandal, and to day it lays the
facts before the public as it has already
laid them before the Secretary of the
Treasury.
The Chinese Exclusion act has always
been condemned in all open minds be-
cause OF its injustice and cruel illib.
erality of race prejudice. But THE
WORLD has long suspected that it had
worse feature than this, that it was one
of those laws whose chief effect is to ia =
cilitate and induce the surreptitious
doing for brides and blackmail of the
very things they purport to forbid.
A searching investigation, including
some practical experiments, has shown
this suspicion to be in exact accordance
with the facts.
The law is intended to exclude
Chinese laborers from coming into the
country. Under protection OF its pro =
visions an elaborate speculation in

TIE OPERATIC MILLENNIUM.

NaSsaHuTt, NhOSc lllciuilCllOly VOICE
has been doing vast amount of croak :
ing in recent years, was fond OF pre-
dieting not long ago that the rivalry in
this city between German and Italian
grand opera would eventually drive
away the song birds OF the earth and
leave the metropolis to the more or less
tender mercics of comic opera and liv-
ing pictures.
1t is pleasing at this time, when the
pessimist and the iconoclast are in high
feather, to learn that not only had Cas-
sandra no warrant for these evil proph-
ecies, but that on the contrary the out =
look for successful opera season in
which both schools OF music shall be
ably represented is at this moment very
brilliant.
As the matter has been finally ar =
ranged season OF Italian opera will be
begun at the Metropolitan Opera House
on Nov. /, 1894. For this Mr..
ABBEY has engaged Nine. MELBA, Miss
SIpyL SANDERsoN and Miss ZELIE DE
LUssAN, sopranos; .Signora MANTELLI,
contralto; TAMAaNo and De REszKE,
tenors; MAUREL and ANCoNA, bari :
tones; De REszKE and PLANCoN, bassos,
and MANcINELLI and BEvIaSANI, con
ductors.
On Feb. l, 1895, season OF Ger .
man opera will be inaugurated at the
Metropolitan. Mr.. DAMRoscH has en-
gagged for this company of world
famous artists. Herr ALvARy, whose
popularity among lovers of opera in this
city is firmly established, will return tc
us. BY the courtesy of Emperor
WILLIAM of Germany, New York will
have the privilege OF listening to Frau
Rosa SUCKER, the famous soprano o.
the Royal Opera House, Berlin. In
short, the most enthusiastic and critica
Wagnerian may rest assured that the
works OF his master will be interpreted
next season by artists of the highcs
rank and OF world wide fame.
That the coming operate season vii
not be glorious through the efforts o
European artists alone, perusal OF the
names mentioned above will show.
SIBYL SANDERsoN and ZELIE DE LussAN
two American girls who have wor
triumphs in the operate centres of tn,

ANOTHER DEFEAT.

Last Saturday and the following
Monday some very exciting primary
elections were held in the Different
parts of the State; someto Gil vacan
cies IN the Legislature, and enc, II
the Fouth Congressional district, to
fill the vacant seat in Congress,
caused by The appointment of Mr..
Blanchard to the Senate. The
primaries in this district, ard The
one in New Orleans, in the second
ward, were the ones TO which public
attention was directed from all
quarters.
In the fourth congressional dis
trict the contest lay between Judge
Person. of Natchitocbes, Judge
Hall of DeSoto, and Hon. Harry
Ogden, of Bossier. The result xas
victory for Ogden.
In the second ward in New Or
leans the fight was Judge Davey's.
II is said that great deal depended
politically, upon the issue IN this
ward. Judge Davey suddenly en-
tered the fight and just did pull
through his man. Mr.. Murphy, the
opposing candidate, was the admin,
isira,ion candidate, backed by both
Foster and Fitzpatrick.
When we consider that in both
the Fourth Congressional district
and in the second ward the Slate adj
ministration was defeated, we must
confess that Mr.. Foster is III rather
bad row for stumps; and each new
defeat goes to prove that were the
gubernatorial election only a few
mouths off, there would be a great
change and Mr.. Foster would step
down and out.
1t is matter of congratulation to
the McEnery people to know of
this double victory and to note in

yet triumph and Hypocrisy be
