MUSIC AND DRAMA
Haydn, Concert.

Last evening Kotzschmar hall was
filled with a musical audience gathered to
hear the first prodution of Gaurs cantata
of ''The Holy City," by the Haydn.
1t is difficult to express an opinion on
the merits of work that one hears for
the first time. 1t has often been heard
in favor of the production of well worn
operas. that the familiarity OF the public
with them makes them all the more
acceptable to the audiences, who like
to recognize familiar airs and compare
their rendering by the singers5with that
of other great artists heard by them
in the past The same argument has
is great deal in it. 1t is therefore with
hesitation that we were rather disappoint-
ed in Gauls canaata. The disappoint-
III emit does not come from the fsct that
the cantata is not melodious, for it con-
tains several beautiful numbers. 1t is
not that the music was not wellgrendered,
for, as a rule, it was. But taking the
subject matter to which the music has
been fitted, the work does not seem to
rise to that high plane that one would
expect. 1t is true it is cantata and
not an oratorio. But there are cantatas
written on sacred subjects that Seem far
in advance of this.
AS for the rendering of the music, the
Haydns showed they still retain that
discipline in choral music that hasygiven
their conductor, Mr.. Kotzschmar, so de-
served a reputation. The association has
entered upon its seasons work with a
large addition to it's forces, with MANY
new and fresh voices and with a deter
mination to keep we'll to the frontstheir
motto excelsior. The opening chorus.
"No Shadows Yonder,'' was given in a
dignified, yet Jubilant manner, while
Chime Is the Kingdom was rendered
with SO rejoiceful a spirit that it was
warmly applauded. The chorus, ssThey
that Sow in Tears while agreeable to
the ear, has seemingly too much O a
waltz character for composition of this
nature. In the second part, which is. to
our mind, far superior to the first. the
choral sanctus that follows the bass solo
uL6 4udruotpo duu O0OfuS, - List the
Cherubic Host,'' and the finale. oborus
and quartette, "Great and Marvellous
Are Thy Works." are very meIodious.
and the latter ends with a grand shout
of praise that is extremely effective.

sang with good volume ana expression
and, in the numbers to which wa have
referred, met the favor of the audience.
The soloists were Misses Ida Tarbox.
Hovey, Rice and Mrs Bibber, Messrs.
Barnard and Carleton. Miss Tarbox sang

tribulation" with great feeling and un-

"Eye hath not seen," had one of the

tween these two ladies-''They shall hun-

THE WOOL FANATICS.

We hope our Republican friends will
take notice of the frank admission of
the protectionists who want a higher
duty than ever placed upon foreign
wool, that the price of the domestic
product declined under the Mckinley
law. That is to say, with an increase
in the tariff there was a. decrease of
values in the home market. One point,
however, they do not emphasize, al
though it is equally pertinent with the
list the price of American woods has
advanced.
Even with the duty entirely taken off,
Australian secured woods sell for ten
cents a pound more in the Boston mar
ket than American secured woods COM
mand. Why, then, is there any need
of restoring the duty? But the wool
fanatics want the Mckinley wool tariff
doubled and trebled. This indicates that
the warp and wool of their reasoning
material is doubled and twisted The
present tariff will have at least a
couple of years more in which it's mer-
its will be tested. It works we'll now
for the wool trade and the manufac-
lures of woolens. No attempt to re-
store the duty can at present be made
practical. By the time that will be pos
sible. we are of the opinion that the
country will be satisfied to at least let
well alone.
The restoration of a wool duty would
not benefit the wool growers of the
west, and it would be injurious to the
manufacturers without an increase of
the duty on woolens. Both would mean
higher cost to the consumers for all
kinds of wooden articles, and though
that would not deter the wool fanatics,
who care nothing for the masses in
their zeal for the classes, Inc people of
the United States will have something
to say on the matter and their voice
will be heard at the polls. It may
seem "a still small voice." but will be
be found more mighty than thunder
and more effectual than the lightning

"UNCLAIAIED INHERITANCES"

It is strange, after the many expos
ures that have been made of the at
tempts to swindle people in America
over alleged fortunes unclaimed in
England, that people will still be gulled
by the tempting offers Of pretended
chancery court lawyers 1t is stranger
still that public journals in this coun-
try will be caught by such sharpers
and induced to publish their decep-
tons
Am eastern paper recently had a
long article commencing with the Ques-
tons:
Do you know that there is nearly
half a. billion of dollars lying in the
English court of chancery awaiting
claimants? Do you know that more
than one-half that vast amount rightly
belongs to individuals somewhere in
American"
Just such questions as that are used
to impose on people on this side of the
Atlantic, and induce them to CORES
pond with the legal sharks in London,
who are ready to devour all they can
gain from their dupes. Pamphlets are
sent over here with the family names
of persons supposed to have left money
and property for which there are no
living heirs in England, and people of
the same name in this country are led
into the trap set for them by this
means.
The Court of Chancery has repeat
edly denied the truth of these stories.
The latest official report from that
court sent by the American Legation
in London to the United States, shows
that the whole amount of money in the
custody of the Court of Chancery is
about eighty-four millions sterling, of
which all but about one million pounds
belongs to owners who are known.
The same sort of tale is told about
money in immense sums lying in the
Bank of England awaiting the rightful
owners Let no newspaper reader be
led away by these fairy tales. They
are fabricated to beguile the unwary
and put money in the pockets of the
shysters who lie in wait for human
prey. Pay no attention to their wiles.

Whatever reception may be given
Herr Ahlwardt by those who think as
he does about the Jews, his reception
by the American people as such will
not be hearty. In parts Of the coun-
try there may be some prejudice
against Jews, but nowhere in all the
land is there any anti-Senitic feeling
champions, for the anti-Semitism he
advocates is naught but persecution. 1t
is only necessary to look at the per-
secutions of the Jews in Russia to
know what it all means; and they are
so recent that the presence here of the
great German Jew-baiter will serve to
recall them vividly to the minds of the
people. The result will be that he
will receive no sympathy whatever
The Jews in America are a numerous
and an honored class of citizens, and
to bait them would have the effect to
rouse the indignation Of the nation
against those who should undertake the
task. Those who have come from for

because here was to be found liberty,
and no prosecutions will be permitted.
Herr Ahlwardt shows the same bad
taste in coming to America to inaug-
urate an anti-Semitic crusade that the
English Anarchist Mowbry did in COM

THE CANARD ABOUT DEMOCRATIC
CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The story that s75O,OOO, or any other
large sum of money raised by the Demo
Gratis of Chicago for campaign purposes,
has disappeared without an accounting
is so absurd that a formal denial should
have been regarded as an insult to COM
mon intelligence. Full and complete re-
ports of collections and expenditures for
Democratic campaign purposes have been
duly made and published. 1t was a
cause for unusual establishment when
the last publication of the kind was
made. that $4,000 had been raised and
disbursed in the interest of the Demo-
cratic candidates in 1894 and 1893. Demo-
Gratis are not rich nor plethoric in money,
and that SO much was donated for party
purposes caused establishment. 1t is abb
surd beyond description that hundreds
of thousands of dollars were collected
for honest or dishonest campaign pur-
poses. The extravaganza of the story
refutes it. The published report tells the
truth.-Chicago Chronicle.
