Mr, Nichols, the Presitont of the Musjeal Col- lege Assovintion, and My, Theadore Thomas, its Director, have come in sharp colllyion upon the ostensible question of management, and, when the hiosynerastes of the two men are conshlyved, itmay well be fusagined that stich a collision involves total wreek on one side or tho other, ‘The public has been re- miuled with these collisions before, but friend: ly efforts at compromise have mitigated any damages that otherwise would lave ensued, but this thne Mr, ‘thomas has presented on ultimatum, upon the aveeptanee of which hangs his further connection with the Inatl- tutfon, In this ditema it fy, reported that Mr. Nichols fs in negotiation with DBrafins, the rising German sausictan and composer, to take tho place. As the Emperor of China fs quite as likely to aeeept the place-as Herr Brahms, this eontingeney may bo dismissert without comment. Nor is it necessary at this time to discuss the causes which are alleged ag at the bottom of this quarrel, Even should the diferences be patched up by the surrender of Mr, Nichols,.tho settles ment could only be temporary at best, and the trouble would break out agalu after the May festival without question, notwithstand- Ing Mr. Thomas’ fve-years contract. The unsatisfactory personal relations betweer the two menare only the superfclal cause; the management of the College a mere pre- text. ‘The real cause Iles deeper, Tb muy be found jn the exaggerated claims which Cinelnnatt mnices as a musteal centre. Undoubtedly that city is the musical centre of Hunilton County end of the State of Ohio, but the assumption that It is the musie- al centro of thls country, ar oven of the West, {3 preposterous, Cineinnatl was fort- unate In tho first instance in having one citl- zen who was public-spirited cnough to give her’ a music-hall and an organ, She was fortunate In the next place In securlny Mr. ‘Theogore Thomas as the conductor of her biennial festivals, Without him these festt- valg would not have been a success, and Cli- elunath would not have had her present repu- tation, Ifhe leaves Cincinnat! he will take with him what musie thore is in that clty. Outstile of tho festivals, which have largely been supported from abroad, music has fam- ished, a8 could bu shown by, the records of opera and traveling concert troupes, Clie elnnati has never been able to stand an opera season of mora than threa ar four days it duration. Mr. Thomas has undoubtedly dis- covered this, and sees that ne made 8 mis- take in leaving New York, ‘Thoru fs no musical atmosphere there except onee In two years, “Between thnes {tis pork and whisky, Tho place for agent’ conductor Is Ina grent elty Hike New York, with a cosmopolitan papu- lation and crowds of strangers from all parts of tho country,—not In a provincial Ohfo River town, where the people are stationary aud conventional, It was as absurd for Mr, Thomas to. go to Cineinnatl’ ag It would be for Cost to go to Birmingham, or Pasdeloup to Bordeaux, or Hans Richter to a village in the Dinck Forest, or our own Mr. Yomilns to White Pigeon, Great conductors belong In great elifes, Mr ‘Thomas unques- tlonably realizes tho mistake he has made, and this fa tho real cause of Its discontent, At one tlne le contemplated coming to Chiengo, which ism much more Important musieal centre than Ciricinnatl, but his friends here adylsed hin to the contrary, It would havo been well if he had had equally shicore frlends in Cineinnatl, It is n'pity to seenman so devoted to his art, and in reallty one of the three or four really great coniluctors of the world, hampered os he ty.
