REPUBLIC SPECIAL. 49,
New York, April @.-There has been so
much published in various quarters In re-
gard to the grand opera next winter, at
the metropolitan here. and en- tour. much
of which has been mere idle rumor or
guess work. that the directors finally have
given to the public their plans as rar as
they have been made.
st. Louis and Kansas City are included
in the tour as well as other Western anu
Southern cities for from two 10 five per-
formancec.
There has not. at all times, been an
unanimous decision to give opera mere next
irons of opera BELIEVING IT, better to give
opera MISUNDERSTANDING the public ape
petite by lengthening the time between
meals, as it were.
But the overwhelming majority IS III
favor of not keeping opera out of a bulid-
ing built for opera and maintained for the
specific purpose of giving u season each
winter. '"t
Hence it has been informally decided
to be ratified officially later-to shorten
the season to ten weeks. beginning Decem-
Der 23 and ending March l, with a farewell
performance the last of April after the
road tour.
Standard to BE Maintained.
1t has been decided. likewise, that the

but that the standard of this and the pre-
ceding winters under the Grau egime
shall be fully maintained. 1t is not true,
as reported in some quarters. that the
Wagnerian operas are to be cut out and
Wagnerian singers not engaged. or the
usual proportion of Wagner performances
leSsened.
The directors are we'll aware that the
public. accustomed to the present wide va
riety and high standard, would turn their
back on any scheme less excellent. and
also that Mr.. Grau himself would decline
to direct so %fruitless a task as attempting
to run IA second-class performance at the
metropolitan. There is neither profit nor
glory in such an undertaking, they all
agree.
One point on which the directors are
united is that the constantly increasing
salary demands of the artists is Il grave
danger that threatens the future of opera

MANAGER GRAV HOPES FOR
a GOOD GRAND OPERA SEASON
Stars That Have Been ENGAGED and Cities Selected for the
Tour Danger in Constantly Increasing De-
mands Of the Artists.

In America. Salaries that would nave peeh
thought outrageously high. even three
years ago, have. in some cases. doupieo
and tIebled. and there seems to be NO
limit that will satisfy some Of the singers
1t only remains to be settled at wna'
point the. directors will refuse 10 lnooIse
~re-engagements. The board leaves Mr..
Grau free to make all arrangements. but
retains the right to approve or ~disapprove
of six names submitted. and some directors
have intinated that a halt must be called
and unreasonable salaries meet with nom
approval.
ENGAGEMENTS for the Winter.
Engagements for next winter are as fol-
Nine. Calve, Nine. Gadski. Nine. Suzanne
Adams, Nine. Schumann-Heink. Nine.
Louise Homer. Miss Carrie Brideweil and
Frau Fritzi-Scheff are positively engaged.
Assurances are received that Nine. Emma
Eames will return here. though no engage
m.ent is yet actually signed.
Mre. Nordica, no doubt, will be willing
to resume her place in the New York COM
pany, and the directors believe that Frau
lcin Ternina and Nine. Sembrich will not
be averse to signing here next season. NO
engagement, however. is yet definitely made
with them.
AS to Nine. Media, she has planned to go

with her first American tour.
NJ. sa!eza. NJ. salignac and Herr Dfppel

NJ. lear de Reszke will not return next

was admirable. and the audience, which ap-
plauded much, seemed to think SO. too.
Fraulein Lieber directed the recital and
Mrs. C. ]. Luyties acted as accompanist.
Mrs. Luyties can play so intelligently that
she might do notable things II she had a
mind to make a profession of her diver

TWO OF 4 KIND.

The Marietta Register in seeking to
prevent the nomination of a Wash
ington county man tor state senat :,
broadly insinuates that because The
Register does not own the said candi-
date. it viii go to the extent of defeat
ing him at the polls if he'is nominated.
The cases of the Register in Marlet-
to and the Courier in this city are W y
similar. For many years they were
the sole representative of the party in
their respective cities. They became
accustomed to autocratic dictations
and rendering nothing in return. They
spent most of their time in making
war upon such Republicans as refused
to pay daily homage to their news
paper thrones. In the case of the
Courier it completely demoralized the
party and the party organization by
demanding that the party shoulder its
fight with organized labor.
This attitude made it absolutely nee
essary for a reorganization and a new
deal all around, or else abandon all
hope of ever regaining the ground that
had been lost. Neither the Register
nor the Courier, it seems, will ever for
give those who for the sake of the par
ty encouraged the entrance of loyal
and aggressive Republican papers into
the field where they were so badly
needed. They still consider it their
duty to bolt the nomination of those
whom they are unable to
control absolutely or whom they sus-
pect of friendship to the other side.
There is way to compel a pretend
ed party newspaper to be loyal to that
party or else throw off its mask and
we are badly mistaken if the remedy
is not applied in the State of Ohio be-
fore many years pass.-Zanesville

PRESIDENT McKIuLEY's ArTrupF.

There is good reason to believe tha
the well-informed Washington cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Press
speaks with knowledge and authority
when he assert that President McKin
ley is opposed alike to Tariff revision
and to the Kasson plan of reducing
Tariff rates by special trade treaties
The President, it is said. deprecates
the opening up of the Tariff question
as disturbing and injurious to business
in -erests, and the Rabcock folly OF
slaughtering the minor concerns by re-
moving all Protective duties from for
eign products competing with the pro-
ducts of the Steel Trust will receive no
encouragement from the administra-
tion.
With equal positiveness it is affirm
ed that President Mckinley has not
only exerted no pressure for the ratifi-
cation of the French reciprocity trea-
ty, but, on the contrary, has been in
full sympathy with the Protectionist
opposition to that ill-advised and mis-
chievous instrument. According to
the Press" correspondent the Presi-
dent did not examine the French trea-
ty before submitting it to the Senate
for approval, and hence was not aware
that Commissioner Kasson had agreed
upon a draft distinctly designed to
benefit certain industries by with
drawing needed Protection from other
industries.
With equal reason it may be taken
for granted nat the President had not
investigated the scope and operation
of the proposed Argentina treaty,
which provided for reduction of 20
per cent. rom the duties on wool pro-
vided for in the Dingley tariff law
Undoubtedly the President is in fa-
vor of reciprocal trade arrangements
that shall enlarge the foreign demand
for American products, but it is real
and not bogus reciprocity that he fa
vors-the reciprocity authorized by the
national platform of 1900
in what we do not ourselves produce"
Those who imagine that President Nc
Kinley is today anything less than the
sound and consistent Protectionist that
he always was are nursing vain de-
lusion. The President is a friend of
American labor and industry. Make
no mistake about that
