Damrosch's New Opera Both Praised and
Condemned,

Illustrative OF the great difference OF
opinion entertained by musical cFltics
concerning the same production. The NV

demonstrated that ne IS a musical genus

spring. and TO accomplish this necessi-
tates a big drain on a woman's pin
money. for the costumes Of the mid
season. unless very carefully planned,
cannot last very long. An evening
dress for this period that looked as
hne as anything well could showed to
the practiced eve that economy had
guided. 1t had a flaring figured silk
skirt. a bodice cut of the shoulders
and the sleeves were velvet and We're

straps went on over the shoulder. and a
wide velvet collar was set about the
throat The effect was simple yet very
dressy. and very little velvet was
thus made to go a great way.

Cuba that the United States are
to take the rebellious island and
see that no foreign power puts its
hands on that crown OF the An

st. Louis will be in it from this
time forth until the convention
finishes its work and adjourns. AS
to the result, there is no anxiety.
The convention is composed Of
men who will face the country
frankly and deal with its interests
fairly. The outspoken will Of the
people will not be disregarded.
That will mean more than elevat-
ing VIM. Mckinley, OF Ohio, to the
chief seat in the gift of the Ameri-
can people. 1t means that the
masses are determined that prin-
ciple to which Mr.. Mckinley has
given such prominence shall not
be lost sight Of. 1t is a declara-
tion of the American people, that
the American idea in politics, the
idea OF the right OF American in
terests to be first considered by
American statesmen, shall come
to the front. This movement for
the nomination of Mckinley, which
has overborne all the power OF the
com bined bosses of New York,
Pennsylvania and Iowa, is a move
nient for high protective tariffs
aud reciprocal trade treaties with
other nations. The st. Louis con.
vsntion will not forget this.

probably because they never let

John Bull has some very small
men in the yachting circles Of
the tight little island. The
attempt to shut out Gould
from participation in the races,
because he had water tanks
in his vessel for the use Of
his crew and passengers, is case
In point. These water tanks are
emptied In time of racing and
could not possibly be made to
answer the purpose Of a self shift
ing ballast, as charged. 1t is only
due to the better class OF English
yachtsmen to sag that they are
disguised with the insult thus put
upon Gould and resent it strongly.

The finding of some drowned
bodies, in the network Of debris
among drowned horses and sub
merged carts and wagons, along
shore in East st. Louis, leads to
the fear that numbers OF whom
no reports Of missing have been
made are among the dead. This
is hardly likely, for in case Of
this kind those whose relatives or
employees are missing would give
instant notice OF it. There is no
real ground for experimenting that
the death list will reach 400, and
while that is large enough in all
reason it is mercifully small COM
pared to what might have been.

Plat will only have few more
days, few short days, in which
to put up or shut up. Could his
mouth be shut and himself shut
out Of every republican convention
In the future it would be q con.

wished that the republican masses
would willingly pension him to
keep him out OF active service. He
is the great mogul Of pernicious
political activity.

If the hundred millions OF dol
lars that are spent annually in
Europe by shoddy America were
spent in these United States what
a number OF establishments they
would built up? What vast
army OF Industrious operatives
employ? What stimulus to
creative work In all departments
Of labor? 1t may come to pass in
time that the wealth of this coun.
try will learn its obligations
to the people by whom that
wealth is created, but that time
has not risen above the horizon
as yet.
