MR. HOFINANN'.S RECITAL.

The second of Mr. Josef Hofmann's recitals OF
pianoforte music took place yesterday afternoon IN
Carnegie Hall. The programme was unconVen-
tional in arrangement, but offered nothing new IN
matter unless one willing to look upon the
fantastic 'Islanney' by Balakrew, which Siloti in
troduced here, a novelty 1t was one . the con-
cert givers most brilliant offerings. because in 1t,
as in Lists 'Mephisto Waltz the wonderful COM
mand of finger technic which Mr.. Hofmann pos
sesses came effectively 10 notice AS for other details
in his treatment of the pianoforte it might be wished
that Mr. Hofmann would learn the real mission or
the damper pedal. 1t is not fair play for pianist

that his music should be heard as he wrote 1t down.
and not to the listener. who would like TO hear all
the tones and imagine half of them. In the
Beethoven rondo in g (op 81 No. y Mr. Hofmann
made wish that he had studied the old fashioned
nelodic adornments which played so important
part in early pianoforte music. Beethoven did not
prescribe what he wanted carefully as his prede-
cessors of a century before, but he surely never
thought that a performer would obscure the con-
tour of his melody Mr.. Hofmann did yesterday,
else he would have been more explicit in his indica-

QUEER LOGIC.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Being interested with many others in the
discussion CT the Sunday liquor question spe-
cially referring to the city Of NewYork, and no
ticin- that you are at least willing to hear from
people up the State, send these lines to Illus
trate one kind of logic The saloon business defes
the s;be law and the State law relating to Sunday.
Therefore change the law, and give the saloon men
liberty TO sell eight hours on Sunday.
Now certain violate the Bible law and the
State law concerning stealing. The law is prohibi-
tory hut men break it secretly. Therefore change
the law and allow the thieves five or eight hours
each week during which they may steal, The law
concerning murder is Bible law and state law.
IL is prohihitory. 1t is very frequently violated
Now because it has been found impossible to en-
force this law perfectly and stop murders there
fores change the law and allow the nlurderers i've

ANOTHER CLASS HEARD FROM.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In all the discussions concerning the ad-
visibility of open saloons for Sunday there seems
so far have been given the views OF but two
classes of citizens-the foreign population,
which is always ready to displace our American
Sunday with the Continental Sunday and the views
OF the various organizations which have striven
bravely for for the preservation of the Sab
bath day. which has to us heritage from
our forefathers There is a third class which GER
tanly deserve some attention in dealing with this
subject-the wives of the who frequent these
resorts
Soon after the election whose home
and life and all that she holds dear have been
wrecked by drunken husband said to me: Il
hear that the Mayor will give open saloons
on Sunday. l should think that day out Of
seven the saloons might be closed. that
husbands might stay home with their wives and
children when they spend most OF the other six
days in these resorts.
This poor wife without hore when
she heard of the Sunday saloon. ]. s. T.

A MoMENTOUS QUESTION.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In all this talk of the opening of the liquor
Saloon on Sunday il is taken for granted that a
nan who is accustomed to his glass on weekdays
must not be deprived on Sunday, though the idea
uf Sunday is that il IS a rest day from what We
generally do on other days-
However, the question exercising the bright
minds in the city is How man get a
drink on Sunday In legal way?'' The other ques-
ions Of the late campaign-backmai, the crowded
schoos, the tenenents. the street sweeping-rnust
be put side. Let only decide this mo-
nentous question How a get a drink
On SundayZ'' and all the others will take care Of
themselves
Our forefathers when thew said something about
Tte. liberty and happiness" really meant, How
can q man get drink Sunday The fusion
rampaign vainly imagined was for the purpose
ef giving u clean administration OF the city
Offices Not So We now see that the main ques-
ton OF the campaign was How can a man get a
drink on Sunday" a number of clergy still
preach the Gospel but with others that Gospel
seems he summed up in the question. How can
man get a drink Sunday?'
On the East Side they are very much concerned
On this question. III clad women and hungry look
ing children cannot have peace Of mind (and hardly
piece Of bread, and are pitfuily asking, How
can father get q drink Sunday?"
What is the use of living unless man can have
his drink on Sunday? What is home without a
drink on Sunday? What is the church and the
cry dry sermon without the hope of the open saloon
after service? We close the saloons. it is true.
election days until the polls are closed, but oh,
Row II wrfngs the heart Of the good citizen to go
about on that day and the parched lips and
tear bednmed eye Of his brother man who cannot
get drink till sunset
why hesitate moment this question, How
cen get a drink Sunday" All the qsaF-
tons Of home city. country. even God, fade away
inio nsignihcance in comparison with this univer-
sal imperative demand OF the human appetite
The air We breathe tat least so il me
from the savings of some Of our wise mem is not
more necessary TO man than it is that he should
have his drink on Sunday.
