about which so much has been heard Let MS

The inheritors OF "Panamaism" are now urg-
ing that the isthmian canal should be cut on the
cheapest possible route. and they insist Of
course. that theirs is the cheapest The latter
contention is seriously to be doubted, in the
light Of past experience in that malodorous re-
gion and in the light also OF the Commissions
official report. But If 1t were true it would not
be conclusive. Not merely the cheapest but the
best route is what this country wants. and there
is little reason to doubt that such route is not
at Panama, but at Nicaragua.

Judge Cowing sees clearly the urgent impor-
tance of suppressing the policy steals now so
extensive and frequent in New-York. He has
declared in court that he will sentence TO

over which he may preside He says truly that
mere fines will not break up this pernicious

The expenses of the Herihy trial are rolling
up in way that may cause unhappiness among
the taxpayers. Sooner or later the whole cost of
trying local placeholders is likely to fall upon
the municipal treasury. The Board of Estimate

lberality in such cases. and when that Board
buttons up its pockets a complaisant Legislature
often unlocks the city Golfers. In one way or

In a manner Verdi represents a full century
of Opcratic writing. He began when, in Italy
az least, the Hbretto was mere stalking horse
which arias might be hung. All that it did
besides furnishing vehicles for airs was 10 pro-
vide motives for the scene painter and the COS
tuner Later we see the growth OF dramatic
Characterization in his ensembles and the de-
velopment OF strongly marked and ingeniously
differentiated moods in his arias without de-
parture from the old fashioned forms. In this
element lay much of the compelling force of his
melodies. even of those eOmmOnplaces which
were pricked for the barrel organ almost before
the palms were cool which first applauded them
like ''Di quella pira" and La donna mobile"
Then set in the period of reflection. The dar-
ling Of the public began TO think more Of his
art and less of popularity Less impetuous and
less fecund perhaps. in melodic invention, ne
began TO study how to wed dramatic situation
TO music This led him 70 enrich his harmonies
and refine his Instrumentation, which in MS
earlier works is frequently coarse and vulgar IN
the extreme. At this stage he gave US La
Forza del Destino" and Aida Now the hack
writer's Of opera books would no longer suffice
him. He had already shown high appreciation
of the virtue which lies in a good book when ne
chose Ghislanzoni to versify the Egyptian story
OF Aida" But the final step necessary to COM

Boito. Here was a man who united
in himself in a considerable degree the
qualifications which Wagner demanded for his

Or. Paache OF Germany Warns Reich
stag Against American Peril"

Berlin dispatch: During the course OF
the tariff debate in the reichstag today
DR.. Paache of Halle university sounded
the strongest warning concerning the
American peril which has yet been
uttered. Dr. Paache visited the United
States in 1899 to study the social and
industrial conditions there. During
his address the speaker laid before the
house masses of figures which set forth
the expansion Of American manufac-
lures and of American foreign com
merce in recent years and the enor-
nous accumulation of wealth in the
United States. He accompanied his
statistics by a philosophical analysis
supporting the idea that Germany's
most dangerous and most immediate
trade enemy was the United States.
DR.. Paache said: Peculiarly grave
dangers threaten us from America;
against these We must put ourselves in
a state of defense"
