The Fall Dramatic Season.


The fall dramatic season promises to be
one of the most brilliant we have witnessed
In America. On all sides the note Of
managerial preparation is heard. with now
ana then q Characteristic sounding OF
trumpets. in order that the public may be
kept well posted as to what is going forward.
Perhaps the most noteworthy event Of the
season is the production at Booths
OF MI. Boucicaults new military drama
dealing with incidents in the civil
war whose traces are happily becoming rapidly
efaced. Whether this work prove as suc-
cessful as the author expects Mr.. Boucicault
will have done some service to the stage in
purifying its atmosphere from the taint of the
over-sentimental society drama, even if tho
service should prove but temporary. DAILY,
too promisesa new sensation, which, if we may
judge from the title, Jealousy" belongs to the
emotional school to which the Fifth Avenue
has been SO long and so proftably devoted
In the department Of opera boufs most liberal
provision has been made in the interests Of
the lovers of this class of amusement by Grau
and Chizzola. We are not only to have
Aimee back with q reinforced troupe, but tho
English imitation, under the command Of
Emily Soldene, will also appear on
the field and do battle for pub
lie favor. Toole, the great English
comedian, takes possession of Wallack's stage
for brief period, and those who are familiar
with the eccentricities of English life are sure
to enjoy his admirable acting 1t is to be
feared, however, that this artist will not
appeal to very large public, as his best
character parts are so thoroughly English that
their fun can only be fully appreciated by
people we'll acquainted with English
peculiarities The variety theatres are
not behind their mora pretentious
neighbols in their provision for tho
amusement of the populace and if the cit
izens Of New York do not laugh during the
fall months it certainly will not be the fault
of the variety managers. Neither have the
provincial theatres been idle. We devote con-
siderable space to-day to giving an outline Of
their enterprises, which show that they are
not to be outdone even by the metropolitan
theatres in the work ofamusing their patrons.


The ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF GERMANY
have, it is said, forwarded to the Berlin gov
ernment protest, in which they declare that
they cannot submit to the Church Regulation
laws, and claim that the legislative power
concerning the Church belongs to the Pope
alone. If the prelates have used tho
words Legislative power" they have made
themselves simply ridiculous; but if they
have said canonical power they are perhaps
right The English penal laws against ths
Catholic Church were based on the mo-
narchical dictum: 1.-THE Pope has no power,
civil or ecclesiastical, within the realm"
Monarchs, members of Parliament, Judges
and other high officers swore to it during CEN
turies. When the oath was rendered to o
great Irish agitator at the bar of the House
Of Commons, in 1929, he refused to take Il,
saying, II reject this oath; one part Of it
believe to be untrue and the remainder I
know to be false" The English people wers
awakened from political delusion and tho
Catholic Emancipation bill was passed.
