REPUBLICANS TOO CONFIDENT.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Facts cannot be annihilated Nv ignoring them
The time has arrived for Republicans to recognize
conditions as they are, and not they would have
them. and proceed with reference to realities if
they wish TO succeed in the and nation on the
Sd day OF November next. One grave fact that
should receive careful and prompt attention is that
a very general Republican overconhdence and sp-
athy are everywhere manifest. kindred that of
1892 when the Republican party, with one of the
best tickets that it has ever nominated. and its
claims TO popular support founded on of the
purest and most efficient administrations Ameri-
can annals, most ingloriously defeated and the
Democrats were restored to full power in both the
executive and Legislative departments of the gov
ernment for the first time in thirty-four years.
A general serious delusion among the rank and
file OF Republicans is a belief that the Democrats
permanently vanQuished four years ago by
the phenomenal popular and electoral majority
with which they defeated in that canvass. A
graver misa apprehension never entertained.
The ancient foe is now more formidable than it
has been since 1892.

ducing deIirium tremens in the case of a frequent
drinker bitten by a dog. The point came up yes

CIwynn R. Hancock of Fort Hamilton, who is on
trial by court-martia at the Army Building.
The evidence brought out the fact that on July 26
Captain Hancock bitten by his pet dog, sup
posed at the time to be mad. He was removed
to the Pasteur Institute for treatment Whlie
there he was attacked with delirium tremens and
was taken back to the post hospital. The defence

ANOTHER OPERA HOME.
Dir. Abramson Obtains Option on
Site for Popular Price House.

Ivan Abramson. who is conducting four weeks
season of opera at popular prices at the American
Theatre, is convinced that New York wants and
will support permanent opera house, where per-
sons of ordinary may enjoy grand opera in
comfort. Despite the experiences Of other man
ayers, Mr. Abramsons success last spring and this
fall in New York has only stimulated his enthusi-
the subject
Mr.. Abramson thinks that the present method OF
presenting opera is not the right one in that 1t is
really popular because the tremendous ex-
pense incurred in the productions of and in
the payment of the salaries of high priced stars
limits the enjoyment of the works of the great COM
posers to the richer class.
THE American public" said Mr.. Abramson yes
terday. has grown to believe that cheapness in
admission means cheapness in Interpretation
claim this is absolutely wrong.
Mr.. Abramson's undoubted success with his short
seasons OF opera in New York leads him to believe
that what is being done in Europe can be done
here-that is, to make popular priced opera house
self-sustannig. Necessarily, such an enterprise
would require at first the support Of persons who
could afford to advance the money sufficient to
prove the truth of Mr. Abramson's belief The
manager says he has already interested one patron
of the opera and that option a site for
permanent home for grand opera at popular prices
has been obtained.
Other managers who have at times held views
similar to those of Mr.. Abramson. were not GER
tain yesterday of the successful carrying out of
the project in view of the opera conditions now
existing in New York. Oscar Hammerstein for
instance. who for at least four times during his
career as a purveyor of varied kinds of theatrical
entertainment, essayed the part of npresario.
while expressing his hope that Mr. Abramson
would be successful in the project, was not so
sanguine that New York would accept opera at
popular prices year after year.
New York has its standard of opera said Mr..
Hammerstein. which is higher than ever before.
1t remains fact that the New York opera lover,
even the one of moderate means, prefers to save
his money and hear the opera twice
season with the best performers in the world than
