MUSIC.
MR.. ROSENTHAI,s THIRD RECITAL

j
The last OF Mr.. Rosenthars first series OF plano
forte recitals took place in Carnegie Hall yester-
day afternoon. The audience which greeted the
pianist was more than handsome In numbers. and
keenly appreciaive OF his extraordinary skill The
nIaroforte players OF the city. professional and
amateur we're numerously represented. and per-
haps II was they whom the recital gave the
most pleasure for. indeed. the list OF pieces and
the manner IN which the music was played were
better calculated 10 interest and amaze the know
ing than 10 delight the simple lover Of the art. Mr.
Rosenthal has seldom made small appeal 10 the
hearts Of his hearers than he did yesterday. Ex-
IRENE sohriety marked his reading OF Beethovens
sonata OBJ ST md also Of Webers Invitation 10

rest was there for the sake OF technical display.

UPHOLD FREE GOVERNMENT.

Connection with racetraCk gambling proved
disastrous TO the Democratic party of Ncw-Jer-
sey. There are signs that the Tammany leader,
having returned from the racetracks Of Eng
land. is in the humOr TO try the same tactics in
New-York The desperate leaders and disrep-
ufable followers in New-Jersey succeeded in
holding n State which had been Democratic for
many years but the vengeance of the people
struck them soon. and the Democratic party
there has been buried under hostile ballots ever
since Yet there arc indications that the Tam
many organization is now relying upon the
same criminal methods, upon fraudulent regis
tration Illegal voting, insolent defiance Of law,
and partisan protection for It's law breaking
tools 1t does no good 10 tell a man who is &C
custorned 20 take desperate chances that he will
throw away every possibility OF a political fut-
ure II he pulls off this event" by means Of
law-breakiEg.
There is one consequence, however, upon
which Tammany does not count. This year,
through the operations Of the State Commits
sioner the disclosure Of criminal operations In
this city will not be delayed until after the cleo
ton His investigations will accumulate proofs
and place a body Of them before the public, in
time 10 reach every part of the State before the
day of voting. What the people Of the country
districts will think about the matter will be i'm
agined They are already much indignant at the
attempt TO punish just judge and TO seize con-
troll Of the judiciary for the protection Of par
tisan offenders. and 1t is not likely that their in
dgnation Will become less intense or general
when they learn that Tammany is now trying
10 overthrow the honest majority In the country
BY organized iaw-breakng here. and to get con-
troll Of the judiciary itself by the preparation OF
crime.
II IS not easy 10 believe that such q disclosure
will be regarded with satisfaction or with in
difference by respectable Democrats IN other
parts of the State. The odor OF Tammany Hall
has never been pleasant IN their nostrils, par
tIcularlv since the Lexow investigation. The
arrogant d.ctntion Of Croker. his treatment Of
many who had been influential leaders in the
party for years. his ignorance Of public opinion
larger majorities against the party he is now
rulng than would otherwise have been given
this year in many outside counties But ex-
posure Of the attempt 10 take possession OF the
State Government through organized violation
OF laws and debauchment of the baot-boX may
have much greater influence throughout the
State than Mr. Croker ina gines. II is possible
that more ballots against him may be cast by
decent Democrats In other counties than his or
ganization can fraudulently cast or count IN this
city.

which preceded the banquet given in hts honor by
the Sultan at the palace last Friday.
Evidently mistaking Mrs. oscar Straus. wife OF

OF another dplomntis,. the Emperor said he knew
her Queen very well.
Mrs Straus quickly replied: II presume Your
Majesty refers Mrs Mckinley.
Emperor William was evidently much entertained

The custom of having warships san
"under scaled orders" has arisen from
the desire Of maritime powers to pre-
vent their plans from becoming known
TO the enemy.
In the American navy such orders
come from the President. and are de-
livered 10 the commander OF ship or
squadron by a confidential messenger,
who knows nothing OF their contents.
Sometimes they are In cipher, but
they are always sealed with the official
seal Of the Navy Department and the
package cannot be opened until the
time marked on II. which is usually
several hours after the hour OF leaving
port
BY this precaution the newspapers
are prevented from disclosing. prema-
turely. movements which may be of
the greatest Importance. and the spies
OF the enemy are rendered useless so
far as their ability to discover the Sc
cret of such movements Is concerned.
Sailing under sealed orders is now
the common naval practice In time of
