DISCUSSING THE OPERA.

| They had attended the grand opers and were talking it over.

 ''Yes, she answered with a sigh, as her thoughts wandered back to the beautiful scene and she fancied that tic multitude standing, waving hand kerchiefs and shouting 'Bravow '.Yes he is wonderful artist. Oh, how ii lifts the soul to take in show of that kind"
 'sThat mans range" he went on, 'sis something marvellous. don't suppose there is anybody else in the business with such diminuendo capriccioso or nova zembla appogiatura. Did you no tice how nimbly he skipped to the up per register of the cornucopia dels for zanda in the second act? That was something worth living for"
 .I know it,' she replied, after taking long breath. Ut was heavenly. l had never heard anything like 1t be- fore. Ah, yes, he Is still the De Reske of old. Pass up the others if you like, but as long as they leave us Jean-dear, divine Jean-we can still be cheer ful''
 "Still,'' he continued, feeling perhaps that there was no use in becoming fi diculously enthusiastic over Jean; "I can't quite overcome the feeling that Melba can hand cards and spades to any of them and win out when she gets right up on the bar sinister and performs her wonderful intermezzo with every chord standing out as dis tinctly as the peccavi aceptissima sem- per munera sunt in bonhomie adagio. I tell you, when she did that, just after the nil desperandum scene in the first act I could hardly control my emotions. Here, said to myself, is the consum- mate artist. forgot all else, and in an ecstacy of artistic passion seemed to float with her among the timbre in the empyrean realms to which her enchant- ing notes had waited me almost at the first crack out of the box"
 They were silent for moment Then the girl, with wistful, yearning look, asked:
 Did you ever write musical criti- cisms for any of the papers P
 "No," he answered; ''why do you ask?''
 Because" she said, s'you ought to do it :. You could make a hit at it right off the bat. What lot of people miss in life if they don't understand music"

A most extraordinary promise was this week made the Cubans by the ad- ministration, through Senator Platt of Connecticut. And the method of making it as extraordinary as the promise. Senator Platt just after an extended conference with Secretary Root, at which advices from General Wood saying that the Cubans were hanging back about accepting the Platt amendment waiting for some definite assurance of tariff concessions, were carefully gone over, gave out an authorized interview in which he promised that congress would, soon after the Cuban government was or- ganized, arrange for form of re- ciprocity with Cuba that would be satisfactory. Of course this was done in diplomatic language, so that in case congress fails to see reciprocity with Cuba with administration eyes it can be claimed that Senator Platt was only
 
 speaking for himself, But there is no doubt that it was intended for the Gu bans to regard the promise as coming from the administration and the re publican majority in congress. It is understood that this promise was made because the Cubans did not con- sider a promise to negotiate recipro- city treaty under the Dingley law, which would require the approval of two-thirds of the senate to become operative, satisfactory. It may be that the administration can make good Senator Platt's promise, but the sugar and tobacco interests of this country will be sure to make it a sizable job, and it may make trouble for Senator Platt in his own state, the tobacco growers of which would be affected to considerable extent.

How Republicans Did.

Republicans are much worried over changes
in the registration and ballot law.
These changes simply deny to non-residents
and summer visitors the right to register and
vote in this State and removes party emblems
from the ballots and requires names of candi-
dates to be printed in alphabetical order.
When the Republicans had power they dis
franchised about half of the Democrats Of the
State.
In 1866 9S7 voters of Carroll petitioned the
Republican Legislature for a modification of
the registration law, along with many citizens
in other counties. Eighteen voters ofCarroll,
all in Uniontown district, protested against
any change. There were two reports on the
matter in the Legislature, the majority report
was against any change and the minority re-
port in favor of modification. The majority
report was adopted and the Republican mem
bers from Carroll, two of whom were John
voice of the 9s7 petitioners from Carroll for
change in the law and listened to the protest
of the IS, and voted for the majority report.
1t is entirely out of place for Republicans
to critioise any kind of a registration and
election law,
They seem much worried for fear some Ne
groes will not be able to properly mark the
ballot as it will be arranged under the amend
ments to the election law, but they had no
compunctions about DISTINGUISHING about
thirty thousand white Democrats.

The Race Issue.

Republicans have charged the Democratic
party with raising the race issue in this State.
A Republican committee in Baltimore, of
which George R. Gather, Jr., is a member,
last month issued circular to unregistered
Negroes, asking them to register and see that
their neighbors and friends register, assuring
them if they do their full duty ''this enemy
(the Democratic party of your race will be
swept away and put down forever in this great
commonwealth of Maryland.
This is the appeal of renegade white citizens
to ignorant and vicious Negroes to register
and vote to put down the party in this State
that pays the bulk of the taxes and contains
the great preponderance of virtue and intelli-
gence.
White men of Maryland, this is the chal-
lenge to you. The Negroes, who pay little
taxes, are the cause of two-thirds of the ex-
pense of criminal cases, and are iliterate and
vicious are urged to put you down forever in
this State Let white men accept the chal-
lenge, and resolve to not only put down the
self-asserting aud impudent Negroes, but the
white skins who have made them so by APP
peals to race prejudice and utilization with them.
We have more respect for the Negro than for
the renegade white man who iniames their
passions in order to obtain their votes, The
Negro is better citizen. 1t is not necessary
to enlarge upon this point. Every Democrat
knows it, and it only remains for every Dem
ocrat to do his duty on November 5 to put down
both the Negro and his white skin brother.

The Columbia Victorious.

The dispatch to the ADVOCATE on Friday
afternoon of last week, which was quoted in
the editorial on the yacht races, said the
Shamrock II was slightly in the lead. That
lead was maintained to the end, the English
boat finishing two seconds before the Colum
bia. The Shamrock being larger and having
a greater spread of sail had to allow the Co.
lumbia 43 seconds, so the latter won the race
by al seconds, and the cup won from the
English in 1850 remains on this side of the
Atlantic.
The English have made eleven attempts to
get that cup back, but have failed. The
Shamrock II is the best boat ever brought
over to contest for it, and was very close
match for the Columbia. In each race the
distance sailed was thirty miles. In the first
the Columbia won by one minute and twenty
seconds, she won the second lin the heaviest
wind of the series) in three minutes and thir-
ty-fve seconds, and the third in forty -one
seconds.

How Republicans Increased County
Expenses.

The Republicans controlled county affairs
from 1856 to 1867. In these eleven years
county expenses increased from 500, 695. SO in
1856 to sos, 722.74, with nothing for public
schools.
Under Democratic rule, in the past thirty
four years, the expenses have increased but
1924, 058.9 "a, and of the total expense $33, 600
goes to the public schools. The Democrats
are conducting county affairs, exclusive oil
schools, for over $4,000 less than the Repub-
hcans did in 1867. The population then was
about "a, 500; today the population is SO, $50.
Under Republican rule, with no taxation
for public schools, the county expenses were
$2.sOd per capita
Uuder Democratic rule, with $33 900 for
public schools, the expenses per capita are a
little less than 1915.
