sARRArH OBSERVANCE.

In some of our charges we find the
Sabbath is almost entirely robbed of
it's sancttty by the performance of
common labor, baseball games, racing
and open saloons. Everywhere we see
various forms of Sabbath dissertation.
AS a result many evils follow, such as
inf1delity lack of reverence for God
and disregard if not disrespect for re-
ligion and religious teachers. This IN
fortunate condition of things interferes
very materially with our work and
binders the success of the gospel. This
we deeply deplore and believe it our
clear duty to labor earnestly for a bet
ter observance of the Sabbath.

TEMPERANCE.


The liquor traffic is a traffic in souls;
warfare against helplessness and
innocence; and the deadly and most
powerful organized foe of modern civ
ilization. 1t blights the home, paralyzes
the spiritual interests of the church,
and rohs childhood of it's joys. youth
Of it's hope and manhood of its virtue
and its vigor. It polIutes the ballot
box, perverts justice and poisons
youthful purity. It begets enormous
waste, wrecks the fairest hopes of hui
mainly and blasts the honor and in
tellect of some of the noblest sons of
the republic. 1t ought, therefore, to be
branded with infamy and haunted to
its death by all Virtuous and high
minded citizens. Especially should the
church be uncompromising in its OPP
position to the unhalloWed traffic; and
exert it's utmost power to stay its
frightful raVages- To this end we rec
ommend that good men and women
everywhere agftate the temperance
question with increasing yigor; that
Christian people strive in every pos
sible way TO create in the minds of
the rising generation, hatred for the
traffic and the desire to abstain abso--
lutely from its pollution; that Chris
tan ministers lift their voices more
frequently and more energetically in
finally that all good citizens unite in
a firm and steadfast purpose TO crush
it absolutely and forever.
We find in the American Anti-Sa-
loon league, the most powerful OPP
ponent and the most certain solution
of the saloon problem, for we believe in
the utter determination of the saloon
and are of the opinion that the only
way to accomplish this end is by the
united and undntermltted effort OF all
friends of virtue and soibriety.
We heartily endorse the action Of the
last general conference, commencing
the purposes and the work of the
American An'ti-Saloon league, and
urge that wherever practicable, organ-
izatiions be formed auxiliary TO the Ma
ticnal league, and recommend that all
VINO desire information concerning the
work of this organization, correspond

MISSIONS.
The missionary spirit is essential to
Christian life and growth. Christ said,
Go ye into all the world and teach all
nations. To ignore that command is
to ignore Christ; to heed it is to secure
his blessings. All engaged in mission
airy fields should be enthusiastic on the
subject of missions, but many are not
so. How shall we increase an interest
in the great subject of missions? First,
by the spread of information. If people
knew the needs OF those in neglected
fields, If they knew the struggles and
priyations of those engaged in mission
airy work, their sympathies would be
moved and their hearts touched, and
then the missionary debt would be paid
and the needed money forthcoming to
carry ON the great work as it should be
done We also need the prayers of the
people, and we need more and better
workers, and in the field we need the
enlargement of soul which the mission
airy spirit alone will secure We there
fore recommend that missionary liter
ature be distributed among the people
and that monthly missionary prayer
meetings be held, at which short mis-
sionary addresses shall, be given for
the purpose of arousing an interest in
this subject; and that The people be
requested to pray for Gods blessings
upon the efforts put forth.

THE WAGNER PROGRAMME.
Reviewed in It's Entirety-The ''FIying
Dutchman" Numbers.

During late years the Wagner evening of
the May festival mas always been regarded
with especial interest. Last evenings pro-
gramme began with the overture to THE
Flying Dutchman.' A marine canvas of
Preiler could hardly represent the sea in
it's ruthless power more strikingly than this
tone painting of Wagner The very first
chords carry us to the place of action we
breathe the salty air of the sea, we hear
the ocean with mighty roaring hurl it's
waves against the rocks impregnable The
breakers surge, the storm bowls, and
through surf and storm rides unscathed the
terrible ship of the Dutchman into the har-
Dor. Heard in concert hail. Wagner
never can be entirely understood, but as the
introduction and chorus was heard yester-
day evening it was not so very difficult to
conjure up before ones mental vision the
rocky ford, where the storm-tossed Nor
wegian vessel had found refuge-darkness,
storm. Sailors furl the canvas and accom-
pany their work with their peculiar and
monotonous sailor cry, IIo no je Ho, no
je! The captain bemoans being thrown so
far from his course and orders the sailors
to rest. The sherman is intrusted with the
watch, and he tries to keep away drowsi-

and falls asleep. The storm, which has
been for time mider, rises in renewed
fury, the darkness deepens, and vivid light
ming flashes reveal the Dutchmans ship in
the distance, that accused ship with black
masts and blood-red sails it shoots into the
harbor, and anchors close to the Norwegian
vessel. 30
In the Flying Dutchman, Wagner, for
the first time, makes use of the ''leitmotif''
Qeading motivel Senta's ballad in the
second act is the kernel of the whole opera.
Wagner had worked out this ballad first,
both POLITICALLY and unsteady and by the
completion of the whole work the themes
of the ballad unconsciously expanded them
selves and as they faithfully reappeared
in connection with their personages or ideas
throughout the various scenes become
naturally leading motives. This was OBJ
viouSly a dramatic truth, dramatic neceS-
sity, though TO be sure, one that only
great dramatist could recognize. and the
result was the music always maintaining
the closest relation with the dramatic pur
port of the play. Thus we see that Wagner
discarded utterly the conventional clap
trap of the Italian opera not much be-
cause he wished to write different music
than his predecessors. as because he first
unconscousy felt then explicitly recog-
nized that fine dramatic theme demanded

Those persons who are so sure that it is
the right and duty of the United States to
interfere in Cuba are governed by sympa-
thy rather than by reason. If Cuba were
on the other side of the world, like the
Philippine islands, for instance, where
Spain is prosecuting another cruel war, no
person would think of urging intervention
by the United States. At that distance all
would see the folly and improperly of it.
The fact that Cuba is within a few hours
sail of our coast instead of ten thousand
miles away does not change the principle
involved. 1t is not a particle more the
duty of the United States to interfere in
Cuba, except for the protection of Ameri-
can citizens than it is its duty to interfere
in Armenia.

The Fort Wayne Gazette has formulated
e plan for influencing Senate action on the
tariff bill by the letter-chain method. 1t is
not proposed to suggest any particular line
of legislation, but simply speedy action.
Experience has shown that the Senate does
not care much for public opinion expressed
through ordinary channels, and it might
be worth trying if it could be reached by
the letter-chain plan. The Gazette pro-
poses that every person who desires prompt
action on the tariff bill write one letter to
each senator from his State and five let
tiers to five other persons in Indiana or in
another State, requesting each to write to
his two senators and request five others to
write The Gazette has prepared forms of
letters to be used which will be sent to any
person on application. To wake up the
Senate by this or any other means would
be a great achievement.

BARRON BERTHALD.
The Tenor Given Hearty Reception
Yesterday Afternoon.

When Mr. Barron Berthald, the tenor,
sang here last season he won warm
place in the estimation of the public for
his singing. so that it was the greeting of
an acquaintance much admired which he
received yesterday afternoon when his
smiling face appeared at the door and he
lightly ran up the steps three at a time
for his part on the programme. He was
accorded a hearty reception and seemed
pleased, smiling at his audience as the in

The cause of the suffering and starvation
among the noncombatants in Cuba is the
Weyler decree which has collected them
into towns where there is no food. AT first
this was regarded as a wretched Islander,
but now that Weyler has promulgated a
new order which will compel greater con-
eentration of these people, so that they
may be under the eye of the Spanish au-
thorities, it is made plain that it is the pol
icy of Spain to starve the people who are
not combatants IN the expectation of fore
ing those who have arms to surrender. The
deliberate starving of noncombatants
should be cause for Intervention.

MISS RUssELL's OVATION.
Her Magnificent Singing as "Senta"-
The Ladies' Chorus.


The Ladies' Chorus.
Miss Ella Russell's reputation as an art
list had preceded her, and so few in the au-
dience had heard her that there tense
expectation to see and hear the singer who
has been so much written about since her
return to her native country after achiev-
ing success throughout Europe. Miss Rus
sell has a prepossessing presence. Her
first appearance was with the three other
singers, Miss Walker, Mr. Ffrangcon-Dav1es
and Mr.. Morris Neck, and all were given
gratifying reception. The popular spinning
chorus with it's hum of wheels, had been
sung and the first words from Senta are
those Gliding the maidens. Her tones are
just fitted to her physique; just what one
might naturally expect, rich, full and
resonant a voice over which she has per-
feet control and seemingly unlimited com
mand. Her high tones are pure and
musical and she sings with great earnest
ness. She gives the idea that she likes the
work she is doing at the time. just as she
says she always likes the character in
opera that she is studying, the one in hand
always having the preference. So when
she sang Senta, that was her preference,
and she gave her entire self to it, and was
Senta. Her voice is one of unusual range
and of a peculiarly even quality through
out.
One ofthe most thrilling parts was her
call, just before she rehearses TO her maid
ems the story of the Flying putchman. and
the story itself was full of dramatic fire
and intense feeling, the singer pouring out

During our civil war the Turkish govern
ment was the only one in Europe that did
not recognize the Confederates as belliger-
ents. All the other governments recognized
them very soon after the war began and
declared their neutrality. The United
States did not complain of this so much
as it did of the failure on the part of
some of them. especially of Great Britain,
to observe neutrality. Whatever Turkeys
motive may have been for not recognizing
the Confederates it placed her in a better
position than any other government of
Europe. If English or French subjects had
suffered in person or property by the acts
of the Confederates or any agent of the
Confederacy the British or French govern
ments could only have looked for redress
to the Confederate government, whereas

During the discussion of the Cuban ques-
ton in the Senate there was a tilt between
Senators Fairbanks and Thurston as to
the true meaning of the Cuban resolution
in the st. Louis platform The passage de-
rived special interest from the fact that
Senator Fairbanks was temporary chair
man and Senator Thurston permanent
chairman of the convention which adopted
the platform. The Indiana senator main
tanned that Mr.. Morgan's resolution was
contrary to the spirit of the St. Louis plat
form, while the Nebraska senator insisted
that the Fairbanks resolution did not rep
resent it. The Cuban resolution in the plat
form decIared:
The government of Spain, having lost
control of Cuba, and being unable TO pro-
tect the property or lives of resident
American citizens or to comply with
it's treaty obligations we believe that the
government of the United States should
actively use its influence and good offices
TO restore peace and give independence to
the island.
The Fairbanks resolution proposed that
the President of the United States shall,
in friendly spirit tender the good offices
of the United States to Spain to the end
that bloodshed may speedily cease and that
honorable and permanent peace may be es-
tablished in the Island of Cuba; and, fur
Their, that the President in spirit of am
ity, tender the good offices of the United
States to Spain in an endeavor to secure
the independence of Cuba upon terms alike
honorable and just to all powers con-
cerned." 1t would be difficult to frame a
resolution more exactly representative of
the spirit of the ST Louis declaration than
that. The Morgan resolution, on the other
hand, does not propose that the United
States shall use it's influence and good Of
fees to restore peace and give independ-
ence to the island. 1t simply recognizes the
insurgents as belligerents, which will not
advance their cause a particle. The Fair
banks resolution was decidedly more rep
resentative of the spirit of the platform
on the Cuban question than the Morgan
resolution is
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-05-22

At the outset it is fair to assume that
such men as the President his Cabinet and
the older senators who have opposed the
Morgan resolution recognizing the Cuban
Insurgents as belligerents are as DESTROYS
Of the independence of Cuba as are those
senators who have advocated that meas
ure. The difference is that the President,
as Representative Hit has asserted, has
well-matured plan which will promote that
object, while the Morgan resolution can
effect nothing beyond increasing our re-
sponsibnity and making all our ships the
objects OF search on the high seas. The
most deplorable feature which the discus
sion has developed is the reckless spirit of
those urging the resolution. They would
have the United States violate the laws of
nations and make war upon Spain without
cause. Those senators who were in and of
the confederacy during the war are con-
sistent in their demand. because at that

remarkable. They will give Peter Benoit's

doubtedly remarkable composition, which
ranks with the best works for children's
voices ever written. 1t is simple in its
general features though in some of its de-

expressive far beyond the measure of the
ordinary children's choruses. There is
deep meaning in the text which the COM
