WALTER DAMROSCH.

The career of Walter Damrosch has
been one of steady rise in fame and
brilliancy.
His lectures on Wagner, his keen APP
probation of the literary side of the
subject, his scholarly analysis, are
backed up by superb musicianship and
mastery of the plano. If Walter DAM
rosch had so elected he might have
been a great pianist, but his ambition
overlooked the bounds of one instru-
ment He became widely known con-
ductor and then, by the simplest modu-
lation, composer
Those who. had at first opposed his
efforts as conductor lauded him as a
pianist. When, however, he appeared
before a keenly critical public as fully
equipped composer the last ache of dis
gluntlement disappeared.
This year the public has had an OPP
portunity of listening to his Scarlet
Letter. an American theme by an
| American author librettist and COM
poser, for, despite his foreign birth
| Walter Damrosch is an American OF
Americans, by instinct, education and
we'll known family ties. A citizen, a
man of the world, versatile, young, am
bilious and talented, with great per-
sonal charm, is it any wonder that in q
few years he has taken his place among
the musical elect in America?
The performance to be given April II
at the Hyperion, when 'Tannhauser'
4 will be sung, will certainly show the
appreciation our public has for such E
| man and his work.

The Final Dealings in the General List
Were wholly UnImportant.

Inc FInai Dealings IN the oehefdi hisI
Were Wholly UnImportant.
New York, March 21.-The market
opened irregular with much of the trad
ing in American Tobacco, which, with
Tennessee Coal, advanced about half a
point. st. Paul. Burlington and North
west at the same time showed fraction
al gains and Louisville and Pacific Mail
also went off, the latter rather sharply,
losing on the opening much of the gain
scored in the last half hour of business
yesterday. The downward movement
was due to disappointment over the
failure of the transcontinental officials
to settle the subsidy question, The gen.
eral declines were in response to a SIM
liar London movement, which was
manifested chiefly in sales of Louis
Vile.
After the opening there were frac-
tional rallies due to the usual covering
of shorts at the close of the week. The
general situation, however, was not one
to inspire active trading.
To the close the trading remained al
most wholly professional. The cover
ing by shorts continued, resulting gen.

those of yesterday. Manipulation OF
Tobacco was manifest, and the other
industrials were marked up on sym
pathy.' Chicago Gas was favorably
affected by the report of examination
proceedings, and closed considerably
above the opening. The report thai
the foreclosure of Reading had beer
decided on had no apparent effect or
the stock.
| Final dealings in the general list were
unimportant, the week closing, as i
had opened, with the volume of sales
chiefly among the industrials.

hearsaI is Urgently Requested.
Every member of the Gounod society
should religiously attend the remaining
rehearsals for the coming festival The
time Of performance is fast approaching
and the work of preparation is by no
means accomplished. "Arminius" is a
tremendous work that requires more
that the mechanical learning of notes
for its rendition. 1t will be impossible
to give the dramatic expression neces-
sary unless the chorus knows the work
by heart.
The announcement of the soloists for
the afternoon performance has been
deferred. The society desires to make
no promises until firm contracts shall
render their fulfillment certain.
Arrangements have been affected
with the Consolidated road whereby
speciaI excursion rates and special
trains from all parts of the state will
accommodate the out of-town contin-
gent. The sale of subscription tickets
will open in about week and will
be conducted by M. Steinert & Sons at
their store in this city.

WeyIor aud the Farmers.

The farmers Of this country have
doubtless much to complain Of and while
We believe that they deserve the help of
the government II 1t can be legltimatelv
given, and the sympathy OF the people Of
all trades and professions, we would
suggest that they are not quite As bad
of after all as the farmers OF Cuba. Orr
farmers have 20 sell their produces at
less cost than 1t takes to produce 1t, but
they are not obliged to either sell or give
1t away. They can keep It for a rising
market OF do as they please with II.
while their brother farmers Of Cuba can
neither sell nor keep their products, for
they are practically obliged to give them
away to the Spanish army, and not only
that. but TO carry them to the Spanish
gardsons
1t seems that sometime Ego the Cuban
farmers refused to furnish the Spanish
army with provisions unless they were
paid for thsm. They never have been
paid, but previous TO this they had the
privilege Of charging what they supplied
to the army to the Spanish government.
Bat when they concluded they wanted
money General Weyler cut of even the
satisfaction they had previously had, and
now they are ordered to supply their pro-
duets grstuitously.

every farmer In Cuba to bring all hii

whore the OompromI.s Stops,

That element Of the Republican party
which is now waglng war upon Addicks
and Addicksism is fighting to sustain
principle and It is entitled to public
oommendstlon and respect hat principle
is that no man can come into Delaware,
debauch the voters, buy up party. buy
up a state and buy up the most exalted
Office In the gift of the people of state.
The two opposing elements can agree
upon presidential electors because In 80
doing no part Of that principle Is sacri-
feed, both sides standing for sound
money, protective tariff and the many
other minor declarations embodied In the
national platform adopted by the st
Louis Convention.
But further than thai the regular Re
publlcAns cannot go without sacrificing
bothprlnciple and prestige. For them
TO permit Addicks to name the candidate
for Congress by the trick Of calling his
State Convention two days In advance Of
their own would be to recognize him as
a Republican and to give HIN friend at
court who would lose no opportunity to
dlscredit the regular Republicans In the
estimation OF the national administration,
should 1t happen to be Republican, and
whose effort II would be to fill every
available Federal offioe with an Addioks
henchman for the purpose of increasing
the gas mans influence and perpetual
Ing his presence in Delaware politics.
To accept for gubsrnatorih nominee a
man selected by him would be even
worse for the regular Republicans and
We believe that they are fully sensible OF
! the many dangers attending such con
cession. The governor OF Delaware dis
penses many fsvors aud wislds great
politicSl Influence. His prsrogatives are
broader than those OF any other governor
In the Union. Olce let an Addicksite
get in the executive chair and the regu
lar Republicans might just Rs well retire
from politics, for the ofislal favors dis
pensed would be more powerful than the
purse Of the man who Is endesvorlng to
buy himself into power.
Addlcks may nominate good men at
his convention to-day, but men count as
naught unless they represent true and
righteous principle. The men placed in
nomination to-day will represent Addiclxs,
and Addlcks represents q principle the
damniug character of which is without q
parallel In the political history OF oul
state.
To ratify anything done by Addioks to
day would be suicidal aud reprehenribll
on the part Of the regular Republicans
1t would destroy their political prestige
be confession Of their insinoerity Ant
rob them Of all public respect and
confederation.
