year on the part of all public-spirted
citizens" The reason is this: "The past
two years, which have been so disas-
trous to the musical profession every
where, have brought serious losses to
the Hampden county association. y
Festivals, like revolutions, cannot go
backwards; they must either go forward
of go bust = = 1t is quite apparent
that the festivals cannot long be kept
up if a thousand dollars or so is dropped
every year. 8 . = = To give up the fes-
tivals would be a real calamity, but
clearly they must be either given up or
supported. The remedy is for every one
who can afford it to buy a season ticket,
instead of attending a casual concert or
two. e - The public ought to appre-
ciate the Importance of the festivals, and
to attend them, even if it is necessary to
cut down other expenses" There is
in this article about reducing
expenses, or hiring cheaper singers or
a smaller orchestra, and the fact will be
noted with interest by some of the Wor-
cester festival controversialists. Possibly
it might be worth while to print these
quotations in large type, and paste them
up in Mechanics Hail.

Another version of the results of in
quiries made by our government as to
the probable attitude of the European
powers, in case the United States should
be compelled to intervene in Cuba, is.
that very satisfactory assurances of
neutrality have been obtained from all
save Russia, our traditional friend. Now
it happens that Russia, next to Eng
land, is the most important of all to
know about. The German press seems to
have been officially notified that Spain
need expect no assistance from the
fatherland. Austria has so small a navy
and is so completely rent with race dis
sensions, that little regard need be paid
to her position. Much the same is true
Of Italy, for while she has a navy of
considerable strength, she has no money
and her people are staggering under as
great a weight of taxation as can be en-
dured. Neither nation would feel war
ranted in going into a Spanish alliance
unsupported by any other. Frances
financial interests are said to constitute
a possible motive for helping Spain, but
with Russia neutral or giving moral
support to the United States, it is hardly
conceivable that the French would take
kindly to Spanish alliance in this dis
pute. On the other hand, if Russia
should extend her sympathy to Spain,
as an offset to the influence of her great
est enemy, England, which is thrown on
the side of the United States, what
would the effect of this antagonism be
upon the other European powers? Rus
sia is the king pin in European politics,
and all the other powers are jealous
both of England and the United States.
He would be rash who would predict
the issue Of the antagonism of England
and Russia, but the possibility of a gem
eral war is one which even the most
conservative of newspapers have
thought worthy of some speculation,
and to this extent have given some
countenance to opinions lately hazarded
by the Hon. John d. Washburn former
minister to Switzerland. Necessarily, the
question is at present purely speculative,
but it is of some interest, because the
situation might SO develop itself as to
present a peculiarly tempting opportu-
nifty for attacking England's interests
in the east, and in the event of an uni
versal melee, there is not much doubt as
to which side the interests of the United
States would draw us

No doubt the persecution. of zola con-
tributes to the sale of his new book, but
the argument Of that trilogy of novels
Of which Paris" is the third, will hard
ly soften the aversion which is popular
ly felt for him as writer. "Lourdes," :"
Rome" and Paris are supposed to
complete Zola's demonstration OF the
decadence of Christianity and the gem
eral inadequacy Of this religion to the
needs of civilization in the goth century,
and finally to predict its decline
throughout the world, just as it's power
and influence are asserted to be declin-
ing among the French. The disappointed
priest, who is the central figure of this
series Of novels, is supposed to fore
shadow that rational religion of
reason, science and the teachings of
life" which it is also assumed France
will be the first of nations to set up.
Necessarily, Catholicism is the form of
Christianity held up to view; because
these are French books and France is
Catholic. That, however, does not deny
zola's argument a worldwide applica-
ton, and it is to be assumed that the
author intended it to be so applied. The
book has won some praise as a picture
of the many-sided life of Paris, but for
this very reason it has also come in
for criticism, inasmuch as it exposes
certain features which the sensitive
think have no place in art and should
not be reproduced and perpetuated.

1t is the Hon. William E. Chandler,
senator from New Hampshire, who is re-
sponsible for hanging up the nomination
of Terence v. Powderly as immigration
commissioner and compelling an ad-
verse committee report 1t is hard to
understand how the senator, who is sup
posed to lay some stress upon party
hdelity, party regularity, etc, can re-
concile certain of his recent acts with his
conscience. 1t looks as if the Hon. Will
lam E. Chandler needed to spend a sea-
son in meditation and prayer. He has be-
gun to seem like a backslider Or is he
merely one Of the queer things needed
to make UP world?

The legislative bin to limit to eighty
feet the height of buildings that may be
erected within a certain residential dis
trict of Boston, has something more to
recommend it than desire to prevent
the overshadowing of Trinity Church
and other buildings in Copley square, or
the eclipse of the state house. Tall build
ings, rising more than double the width
Of the street on which they stand, shut
out both light and air, overcrowd the
neighborhood, retard healthful suburban
development and complicate the dangers
in case of fire. In Europe, restrictions
are placed upon the height of buildings
for these very reasons. London, Paris.
Berlin and Vienna and other cities are
protected by similar regulations. and
from the standpoint of health, conve-
nience and beauty, the argument is all
on the side of the bill That certain
real estate owners or spectators should
take the opposite view, scarcely weakens
the argument.

President McKinley's authorized denial
of the report that he had beer informed
of the findings of the Maine court of in
quiry is sufficiently explicit and compre-
hensive. 1t is this:
The president mas received no intima-
ton of what the court of inquiry into
the Maine disaster will report The
president has not had a word from any
man directly or indirectly connected
with the court either as to the trend of
the testimony or the opinions of the
members of the court
The president, it can be stated furth-
er, would consider it highly unbecoming
to obtain any advance information as to
the findings, as he desires that the
courts verdict shall be above all suspi-
eion of being influenced. Upon the YER
dict of that court will probably hang
momentous action-action on which it is
desired to have the approval not only of
this nation, but of the world
Therefore knowledge of the findings
Of the court was not the basis Of the
presidents request for an emergency
fund of s5O,00O,O 600 for the national de-
fence One of the most careful of Wash
ington correspondents quotes Gov. Ding
ley as saying that the money was asked
for when official information came from
Europe that Spain was trying to buy
the new Brazilian warships. The prompt
action of congress in voting the appro-
priation so completely stunned the
Spanish jingoes, that they have ceased
nagging Sagasta, and left him free, for
the time being, to prosecute his efforts
at preserving the peace, AS a peace
measure, the appropriation seems to
have. been great success. Spain
couldn't protest when her attempt to
buy the vessels was known She did
not get the ships so she turned to the
prosaic but vexatious problem of rails
ing money to pay the interest soon due
on certain bonds. Uncle Sam "raised'

A democratic gain of rs votes in the
county boards of supervisors in New
York state might be supposed to have a
depressing effect upon Boss Platt. In
the elections in twenty-five counties the
republicans carried only one, with a
total of two votes, and a net democratic
gain Of 70. The Tribune and Evening
Post back up Warner Miller's assertion,
that the rural primaries are as much in
need of reform as the city caucuses, and
judging from the facts alleged, this
should be true. It is clear that Thomas
G. Platt outlived his usefulness as a
party leader some time ago.
