The Aramenti Concert Company

The auditorium in Simpsons Tabernacle
was well filled last evening, the occasion
being the concert given by the Aramenti
company of New York. 1t was the fifth of
the series of high class entertainments in
the Young Mems Christian Association
Dollar Course. The Aramenti Concert
company consists of Madame Julia Ara
menti, prima donna soprano, Mr.. Charles
+. Higgins, violin vrtuoso and Miss Celia
Schiller, pianist. The program rendered
last evening embraced the following num-
bers:
Hark! Hark! The Lark Schubert Liszt-
Miss Celia schiller.

The rendition of all of the above left
nothing to be desired, and the audience

strained. For an encore the lady gave the

The volatile character of both the
Cubans and Spaniards is exhibited in
the discomfort now rising in Havana
against Captain General Campos, re-
garding his policy of dealing with the
insurgents, and by the split which
seems imminent in the rebel camp. 1t
is only short time since Campos was
the recipient of tremendous popular
ovation in the capital city of Cuba,
and now lot of the best people of
that city want him removed or lynched.
The chief complaint against him seems
to be that he is too humane. The
differences among the insurgents indi-
cate the confident state of mind they
are in, for the differen ces are relative
to the exercise of governmental powers
when they achieve victory.

WHERE THE NEXT PRESIDENT
WILL BE NAMED

The selection of Chicago as the place
to hold the next Democratic national
convention was not the result so much
OF Chicago's efforts to obtain the con-
vention as it was of the prejudice
against having it go to New York. AL
though neither st. Louis nor Cincin-
natl desired to see Chicago get the
convention while they themselves
stood any show, they were willing to
unite on it in preference to the eastern
metropolis /; and the latter preferred it
to either of the other cities, so that the
Windy City seemed to be the harmon
izing point. From the point of view of
practical politics, it can be said that
the selection was wise in 30 far as such
an act can affect the fortunes Of po-
litical party. 1t is selection that will
arouse no factional antagonism, for it
cannot be said that in its making any
particular faction of the party was
favored or any candidates interests
advanced. Chicago is beyond ques-
tion the American metropolis and rep
resents all the various phases of
American life and political thought.
The interests of individuals and the
purposes Of factions become lost in its
metropolitan bigness. The traditions
associated with Democratic presiden-
tial nominations made in Chicago are
in the maia pleasing. It was in that
city that Grover Cleveland was first
nominated to lead the Democracy out
Of the wilderness of despair and
decentralization into the promised land
of victory and power. Again, in 1892,
Chicago was the place in which the
leader of the real party of the people
was nominated to go forth and achieve
the grandest political victory in the
history of the country. Chicago has
the prestige of being the starting point
of gigantic Democratic success and we
hope and believe that in 1896 the
Democracy will name in her convention
hall the man who shall occupy the
White House for four years from March
4, 1897.

The Jewel Consistency

The Jewel Consistency
EDITOR HERALD: The grand jury at
present in session in this county lately
found several indictments against Frank
W. Cherry, a shorthand reporter in Police
Justice Morrisori's court. for perjury, in
having sworn falsely before said justice to
extortionate demands against the county
for official services 10 Mr.. Morrison's s
court. Cherry's counsel demurred to the
Indictment, and challenged the grand jury,
whereupon b. n. Smith as superior judge
sustained the demurrers, on the ground
that the administration of the oath by Just
ice Morrison was extra judicial.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Campbell. the
county coroner, was indicted in the same
court by the same grand jury for doing the
precise thing Cherry had done, but Judge
Smith overruled Campbeii's 3 Objection, and
set his case for trial.
Now, sir, confess my inability to see
any uniformity in these two rulings. The
law is that demands against the county
must be sworn TO. If Morrison had to GER
tify to Cherry's demand. why, of course he
had the right in performing that Judicial
function to administer an oath as to
whether the demand was an honest or
fraudulent one.
Because shorthand reporters can creep
in at the back door of the county treasury
and filch from the county officers, should
not be any reason why those reporters
should not be held resposible for such
despicable work-espccially when il is
stated that one person has performed the
act fifty-two times in succession
Cherry and Campbell both had demands
against the county. They both swore to
them. They both were charged to be
fraudulent. One of the prisoners has been
set at liberty by the court without trial,
and tho other must be tried twice over.
If this be law, surely it is not justice!
And some have been heard to say that they
do not believe it is law.

Herr Anton Sc.,ott

One Of the grandest musical events that
has taken place in Los Angeles for long
time was the concert given at Music hall
last evening by one of the worlds greatest
tenors, Herr Anton Schott, and his pianist,
Arthur Fickenscher. The program was
well arranged and might be characterized
as strictly classical from the first number
to the last. In speaking of Herr Schott's
work it would be difficult task to select
any special number as being the best; ;
though if choice were given it might be in
the Two Grenadiers, by Schunann, when
he could and did give the full range and
power OF his voice. Every number was
simply grand. His voice at times shows
that his best days are past. yet there is a
schooling and style which one cannot pos
sibly lose sight of; and those are the two
important things for any singer to possess.
Herr Schott is a man of wonderful ply
sique, and has well preserved himself
through these years OF arduous work in all
the great German operas. He is today
one of the greatest exponents of the Ger
man school, and has scored for himself a
worldwide reputation. which will last for
ever. The one regret only is that one can
not hear more of him.
Arthur Frickenscher is one of the few
accompanies who knows how to adjust
their playing with the voice. And it GER
talnly was q pleasure to hear such an one.
His piano numbers were listened to with
much interest; his touch is clear, and his
execution fine. He is one of the best pian-
lists that has visited Los Angeles in a long
time.
The great regret is that Herr Schott was
not greeted by a crowded house. Should
he decide to spend short time in this city
and put in few concerts at a more popu-
lar price, he may depend on having good
houses. 1t is sincerely hoped that Herr
Schott and his able pianist will be heard
again in this city.
ing to the great tenori last night, wrote as
follows:
EDITOR HERALD:- with ears still ting :
ling, with heart and brain still throbbing
from the great musical feast, allow me to
give my mite of tribute to the wonderful
singer that hare just had the great good
fortune to hear. Heavens, what feast it
was! Such a phenomenal voice, and
withal SO sweet and full of expression as
one only hears in a lifetime. [ speak of
Herr Anton Schott. Whether to admire
him most in his soulful Interpretation of
Wagner or in the rendering of his German
songs is hard TO decide. SO wonderful was
he in every selection. | feel it quite an in
suit to this fair city of the angels that the
house was almost empty. Where lies the
fault? We have plenty of musical talent,
and why did our music loving people not
show themselves more appreciative of this

offering consolation, and speaking

fession, membership or non-member-
ship in any organization.
Such man as the Rev. Steinhauser
is as much out of place in the pulpit
as bull in china stora, or a profes.
sional gambler in tho presidency of a
theological seminary. He should re-
sign his pastorate and get himself
elected General Manager of the Mar.
rowminded Bigots' Association. In
that position he would be perfectly at
home, and would find ample scope for
the still further contraction of his al
legged soul till it reached size COM
pared with which a mustard seed would
appear like mountain.
The wife of the letter carrier, it is
said, died without religious consola-
ton" from any minister. Knowing
what they now know Of Steinhauser,
the deceased woman's friends will not
be likely to tumble over each other in
their eagerness to get inside of his
church. Nor will the Allentown COM
munity be very apt to consider the
Rev. Bigot shining example of pure
and undefiled religion. A brand of
piety that holds man back from
granting simple request from dying
person because of non-membership in
his society is not such as the world
needs. In fact, it is very hollow
mockery and burlesque on true re-
ligion.
