SINGING CLASSES FOR THE PEOPLE.

SINGING CLASSES FOX THE PEOPLE.
II has been generally agreed by students Of
music that one Of the potent Influences In be-
half Of musical culture in any community Is
n widespread love and practice OF choral music
among the masses Of the people. The personal
contact with great works the identification with
the,r shirt that the study and performance OF
them make necessary, are in themselves means
NJ unlifting. There Is at present, and has been
for three years. an agency in operation among
the working people Of New-Yorll that has shown
the truth OF this contention. 1t is the Peoples
Singing Glasses. which were started three years
ago. and which begin their fourth season Of work
next Sunday. Their scheme Is an emlnenty
practical one: II Is the teaching OF the stan nota
ton and sight reading, and the practice OF vari-
ous sections Of the chorus, Of various stages or
proficiency in the performance OF musical works
Of real merit From the advanced classes last
wear was formed an organization called the Pco-
plc's Choral Unon-a sclf-supporting chorus OF
working men and women, whose only financial
resources are derived from the dues Of 10 cents
maid by each member for each rehearsal attended
during the winter.
The idea OF such chorus has been accepted
by the people TO whom IT was offered with an
interest and enthusiasm that were probably
unexpected by It's projectors As the original
classes have advanced from their standing as
elementary students, their places have been
taken by evcr-ncreaslng numbers, until this
year the enrolment Of new members bids fair
to offer veritable embarrassment That these
classes are sustained by a real love for music
Is made plain by a consideration Of what Is In
yolycd for ma ority OF the members. To many
OF them the weekly dime and the frequent cx-
pensc Of reaching the meeting rooms are not
n matter Of entire Indifference Sill less so Is
the sacrifice Of the afternoon II the only free day
Of the week, and the surrender of part Of the
Sunday pleasures It involves. Furthermore,
there Is much significance In the fact that the

and the men who now have control OF the various
departments are likely to carry out most de-
s;rob,e changes within comparatively short
time NEWCOMERS can fairly expect that under
the present government the ravages and the
evils which have been caused by the enemies or
the community will be repaired to large ex-
tent within n reasonable period. The revenues
Of this city are enormous If they are properly
appled New-York in few ycsrs will have pub

which London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna or any
other city might well be proud. 1t Is ptiful that

Of North America, and Of South America also,
that the most presumptuous Of them will not
venture to claim competition. There are men

Cleveland and Secretar~ Herbert, are told In
the announcement from ashington. were or the
opinion that the extension of congratulations to
q successful candidate might be taken as fehcita-
ton over the defeat of his opponents This may
be true But the act OF Admiral kirkland, wrong
or right should not have been dealt with In such
manner as to offend President Faure. 1t is not
good diplomacy to put the head OF friendly
nation unnecessarily in an embarrassing and
awkward situation. which this rebuke to Admiral
Kirkland has done. The rebuke, II deserved,
might have been administered In different way.
The consideration OF President Cleveland and
Secretary Herbert for the defeated French candi-
dates is we'll enough. for they too are influential
Frenchmen, but greater consideration to say the
least. is due the actual Chief Magistrate Of
France.
