England's Mixed Politics.
Six Parties May Figure In the Mex
General Election.
From the Mcachestsr Guordic

From the Manchester Guardian.
There is something alarming in the
apparent likelihood that the next cleo
ton will be contested by six parties,
each claiming quite number of candi-
dates and boasting therefore something
moro important than the mere freak
groups which sometimes appear at gem
eral elections.
Gone evidently is the old sweet Sim
pliclty of politics when Whig and Tory
or Liberal and Conservative covered
nearly all the ground in this country.
Cor C. too. that absence of insistence on
shades OF opinion which impelcd n
Whig candidate Of the eighteenth CEN
tury TO declare II had no wish to go
into Parliament, but at the mention of
a Tory going in my blood chilled all
over and I came forward
1t Is quite true that there were occa-
sional subdivisions in the old days. but
their tendency was always to get back
TO ono or other of the main parties. II
the Pcelitcs werc always putting them
selves UP for sale and always buying
themselves in they found their place
in duo course. ard the absorption of the
Liberal anti-homc rulers into the Con-
scrvative party was one of the most
rapid affairs in political history.
In the older elections there was nearly
always one plain dividing line. There
might be Wings and Radicals, but, over
a long period, their difference lay in tho
shades of a common faith; they were
at one in their hatred OF Conservatism.
IL was easy to lay down the general
rule that one party in the state was
for progress and the other for caution
n man was bred in ono faith and it was
portent II he changed 1t.
1t seems. In fact. that this election
is to approximate much more nearly to
the fine distinctions OF Continental poll
tics than to anything TO which we have
been accustomed here

Distinction in the v.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Not be-
cause I can add anything really new
but simply to make one more in the list
of objectors do I write TO indorse most
heartily those who have hitherto de-
plored the absurd use OF v for In pub

One of the funniest instances in this
town is that of n chain of excellent
stores which has its establishment at
every turn almost. It's title includes the
word united. Everywhere but in one
place that word Is spelled as / have now
given it. But when. in due time, the or
ganzaton broke into Fifth avenue. il
apparently felt that IL must do some
thing 10 indicate that II had due ap-
probation of its fashionable surround

reads "Vnited",
1t is all of a piece with the people
who are going TO have a wedding at
their house or at their church, and who
think. apparently. that It will add fash
ionable glamour to the event if, when
preparing the invitations TO be sent to
their friends, they ask the honour" OF
their company on the important occa
sion. TO these folks the In honour"
seems likely TO give to the proceedings
an air of grandeur associated with old
family. broad ancestral acres. TO say
nothing of suits of armor. baronial halls

OF course it's all wrong. this for u
humbug. Ah. IT'S a sad. mad world, my

The Turn Down Habit.
Capital Accused of Failing to En-.
courage the Inventor.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The edi-
torial article entitled pure Water for
Locomotives" furnishes one Of the great
est ideas for economic advancement that
have been brought forward. The key
note OF future progress is there.
Unfortunately economic measures
must be forced because capital vii! not
sacrifice for true progress unless neces-
sary. Some twenty-five years ago cleo
trlc current for lighting cost the con-
suIner 20 cents lkilowatt. Now 1t costs
Z cents. This reduction was brought
about by the so-called isolated plant. II
was found that the cost of current for
lighting could be brought down to any
where from to cents. Conditions
favored that result and the big factors
had to recognize il. The result is there
has been progress in the development or
electric current cost and the private
plant is no longer to be established.
1t is Il sad fact to record that an in
telligent person devoting twelve years or
his life to a problem which would bear
economic results must be turned down
simply from tho turn down habit OF
those who view these things lightly. "A
motor car whether for pleasure or busi-
ness can be run much more economically
than it is to-day, but what stimulus Is
there for an intelligent student to inn
prove existing conditions when his efforts
are discounted, even If he proves in GER
tain instances the fact that he really
has evolved progress?
II your editorial article can stimulate
desire really TO improve it is well
worth while. and will lead to many fu-
ture improvements on accepted methods.

GALLI-CURCI AS ROSINA.
Prfma Donna at Her Best In spark.
ling Comedy.

Rossini's III Barbiere di Siviglia" was
given at the Metropolitan Opera House
last evening. The performance. which
was the third this season, had special
interest. Nine. Galli-Curci sang Rosina
for the first time at the Metropolitan.
The part is said to be the prma don
mas favorite one among all her roles
She was at her best in the sparkling old
comedy. She was bewitchlngly gowned
her acting was humorous and vivacious
and her singing Of the brilliant music
had daintiness and charm. Her OPEN
ing air in the first act, the Una voce
POGO fa.' was received with delight. In
the lesson scene she sang the "Polon-
aise" from "Mignon" and "Home, Sweet
Home"
Titta Ruffo was to have sung the
Figaro" for the second time since he
joined the company this season. but the
distinguished barytone was suddenly in
disposed and his place WAS taken by
Mr.. de Luca. who is so favorably
known in the part to local opera goers.

Plus XII.

TO that long line of Pontiffs which
reaches back through nineteen CEN
turies to PETER the Fisherman the
Roman Catholic Church adds another
name, that of PIUs XI. The Arch
bishop of Milan has been chosen by
the Cardinals to be the Bishop of
Rome and therefore Pope.
There was little doubt that the
successor to BENEDICT XIV. would be
an Italian. To the world in general
the question was whether the new
Pope would be as progressive as his
predecessor. The election of Car
dinal RATTI has answered that qIes-
tion in the affirmative. Those who
have hoped for continuance OF the
political policies of BENEpIcT may
look forward to an administration
equally liberal. Next to Cardinal
GAsPARRI no candidate was regarded
as more broadminded politically than
the final choice of the conclavc.
The election of Cardinal RATTI
indicates that the policy Of BENEDICT
in the matter OF reconciliation be-
tween the Vatican and the Quirinal
will be continued and the rapproche-
ment finally achieved. There are
other fields in which the new Pope's
broadness of mind will be Of impor-
tance. In several of the young Euro
pean republics erected during the war
the Catholic Church, because of its
hold on it's members, is looked to as a
restraining force needed in the con-
flict against Socialism. disorder and
the other ills that rise with every
change of governmental form.
The new Pope is particularly we'll
qualified to cope with the European
problems in which the interests Of
the children of his Church are at
stake. His work in Poland, where he
acted as nuncio during the formative
years of republic whose people are
nearly all Roman Catholics, showed
qualities of craftsmanship which won
the admiration of BENEDICT. If it
should be true, as has been suggested
in Rome, that the Church has in
mind a campaign in that vast region
where spiritual decline has followed
political and economic disaster
Russia a-PIUs XI. would be familiar
at first hand with the conditions. for
he encountered Bolshevism in Poland
and assisted in its defeat.
The new Pope is still young man,
as holders of his great office CO. He
is not yet 60 years old 1t is less than
three years since he became bishop
elevated to the archiepiscopal chair
and received the red hat. Yet the
election of new Cardinal to the
Papacy is not surprising. The con-
clave is democratic in the highest
sense. "He who goes in Pope" says
the Roman proverb, comes out
Cardinal" And AcHrLLE RATTI, going
in a Cardinal, remained in the vati-
can, a Pope.
If, like his predecessors since Plus
IN, the new Pontiff preserves the
fiction of being a prisoner the Vati-
can will be more of a physical prison
to him than il was to BENEDICT or
LEO; for he is by nature man OF
activity. Now the muscles that
climbed the Alps may stretch them
selves only in the Papal gardens. Yet
the spiritual eminence is so great
that the soul may find rarefied
atmosphere more glorious than that
of Mont Blanc. Besides, the prisoner
may elect to set himself free.

Prokofieff's opera THE Love OF Three
Oranges was TO have been produced
at the Manhattan Opera House last eve
ming. but Jose Mojica, the young Spanish
tenor, who was east for a part of con-
siderable Importance. was taken with a
cold and was unable TO sing. AS there
was no one ready to take his place the
opera could not be given. The work
chosen for substitution by General
Director. Mary Garden was Verdi's LA
Traviata." which already had been given
once in the course of the Chicago Opera
Company's first two weeks.
The cast was the same as before. Miss
Graziello Pareto, who made her debut as
Vioiettd, repeated an impersonaton
which gave pleasure TO the audience.
Her voice Is one of very pretty quality
and her singing. while marred by some
radical defects, is still of sufficient merit
to call for commentator. Mr.. Schipa
was again an Alfredo of somewhat dis
jointed utterance. but his ringing high
tones evoked applause as such tones
always do. Joseph Schwartz sang Ger
mont as he did before with a good
quality OF tone and with a smoothness
that was most agreeable.
