To the Kastor of Ths Chicago Tribune. carcaco. Oct. 0.—In my last letter to you on this eubject, 1 disavowed any connection with tics, or any interest in them except such as Prost American citizens generally have; but I am not now writing as an American citizen, but Hmply agan Irishman, and am looking at the subject purely from an Irish standpoint, because J.want to show my countrymen their infatuation —tor it 's nothing more or lese—in flinging them- selves so entirely into the arms of the Demo- erats, Allow me also candidly to say that Amer- jean politics, outside of their bearing on Irish matters, have uo great interest for mo; the trade of politician is about the Iast I would drpam of following. [think I-showed plainly in my last letter that the Republican party was the National party of America, and that the Democratic party was not; and that, if Irishmen are earnest in their’ pro- fession of love’ for their most unfortunate country, they should do all in their power to | but in every county in the isl stand well with THE PARTY THAT CAN BE OF MOST AID 70 THEM. For au Irish Democrat to become a Republican {nvolves like sacrifice of principles or political opinfons, There isbardlya plankin tho plat- form of both parties that is nut the same. The grest distinguishing point between the Repub- Acans and Democrats is,that the Democrats have found an alllance with traitors in she South and with enemfos in England. That the leaders of the Democratic party in the South are hostile to this country, its integrity and nationality, bas, I think, been sufliciently proved; I will, therefore, notdwellonit. Besides, looking on this matter from a purely Irish standpoint, the hostility of the South to the country at large {s an outside isue, But,ifIcan prove that England as a whole, its Government, its ruling classes, and, with very. few exceptions, its representative men, bave been from time immemorial, and are to-day, deeply hostile to the integrity and well- being of America,—and if Ican prove that En- glandfavors the return of the Democrats to power,~I shall have shown something that oughttomake an Irish Nationalist pause be- fore he custs his vote with the same party for which ail England would vote to-morrow if ehe, could. Iwas traveling through England during the years 1863, '64, and ‘65, and ought to know some- thing about public opinion there during the War in this country. It would hardly be too much to say that the whole nation was filled with: one great. absorbing idea,—and that was, that the end of the UnitedStates had come; and the idea FILLED THE WHOLE NATION WITH JOY. ‘There were some noble exceptions, I must ad- mit, especially in the North of Engiand, where ‘the teachings of Bright and Cobden had done work; but the exceptions were so few that amupstitied in saying the whole nation. Bright and Foster were about the only two influential Englishmen who warmly and uniiinchingly espoused the cause of the Union; and dearly they paid for it in loss of popularity and los3 of money. There is in these days but one great test of the political feelings of a country, and that is the press. There were in the whole of Great Britain but, tree papers of-any political importance that ‘espoused the cause of the North; these were the Star and Daily News of London. and the Manchester Eraminer.. What were the consequences? Why, that the Star was killed: by aud, of the otbor two Re one was wholly and,the other. partially bankrupted. Another In stauce, over more pinin, sh enmity to America during the War: In 166] there were two American weekly papers ol Le North, and af other in the interest of the South. The one in the interest of the South made money, and lived till the close of the War; the one in the interest of the North, the‘ London American, died in 1883, its proprietors! losing every cent investedinit. Theseure facts probably not geacrally known on this side of tho Atlantic,— ‘facts which prove, evon more plainly than Roe- buck's rantings or Alabama depredations, the 8tate of public opinion in England during the ‘War. Here permit me to guy that, asa rule, Americans do not know now, and did not know at the time of the War, the depth andextent of ENGLISH EXMITY AGAINST THIS COUNTRY. e, but, say. my Irish Democratic friends, the Wa is now over; these are dead issues; En- @ cares nothing pow about Republicans or mocrats. We see on what side is to-day. Just as dur- grand vest is the press, the English press about the coming elections? Unfortunately, very few lrishmen in this country know,—for they seo so few English Irish ‘Deraocral. ‘What says apers, and the Boston Puot, or or Irish-American bave at least enough of cunning not to give- extracts from _| the London Times or Sati y Review on the vowing elections in this country. Every influ- ential English paper that bas as Fer spoken about the Amdrican elections warmly sides with Banconck and the Democrats! Just imagine O'Donovan Hossa and Boyle O'Reilly voting for and supporting the same party for whose return topowerin America England would pay mille ions! It is too monstrous; all the pelitical in- sanity of all races and all times seems con- piney in the heads or the Irish race in ica It muy be asked. Why does England side with the Democrats? ‘The reason is very plain: En- giand wants to bave ber manufactures admitted to this country duty-free, or nearly so, in order that her own Operatives may be “in clover,” and that ours may starve; or, a8 her organs put it. she wants “‘a revision of the existing taritf.” Who in America would suffer most by a reduo- ‘Won of the duties on foreign manufactures? ‘ ‘THE IRISH UNDOUBTEDLY, decause, beyond all other nationalities on thia Continent, they are workers, ‘Tuke, for instance, all the New Eugland mills and menufactorivs of Various kinds, and 1 guarantee that there aro more Irish hands employed in them than there areof all other forelyn nationulities put to- r. Just think of such men voting the jocratic ticket] It would be only serving them right if the Democrats came into power,— if the country were Hooded with English manu- een the mills shut down, and Irish opera- Jt ig said, nnd said on authority, that En- Klsnd intends spending large sums of money in ‘tbls country fu order to help the Democrats back to power. ¥ firmly believe that a milton of Pounds could be collected in England ina single “ay if there were a fair prospect that such a sum would insure Democratic sucecss at th ‘Trade pamphlets, written by Englishmon, and circulated by meins of Hagia mousy. 1 buve foun scores of thesa pamphlets within the last ee] olutt is not slone by a revision or the tariff England would be bonefited in case of a Bemocratic triumph at the coming elections. ere are a hundred ways by which her fatlu- thesoula be extended and strengthened in the country. once her old friends and allies in in ith should again have a controlling voice tae affairs of the Natwn.

Besides, there are uglier growls coming from the English press about Irish affairs than ever have been beard before. The bulldog tenacity hich the irish stick to the nationality and free land ig driving England mad. The tone of the leading English ‘organs when treating of Irish affairs is becoming every day more savage; and it is very ‘probable that, if “the Irish over tho water” are not very. careful, THE HORRORS OF “NINETY-EIGHT” will be enacted not only in Wicklow or Wexford, land. “What shall we do in the swelling of Jordan?” What nation shall we turn to in the hour of agony which seems certain to come? Some Irish Nationalists may say that we want no help or sympathy from any one, and that Ire- land can fight ber own battles. I pity the man wbo would say that, under present circum- stances, Ircland could fight England with any chance of succcss; such a man would be only fit for Bedlam. don't think any one in Ireland means to try it; but the probabilities are, that the Irish will be purposely goaded into rebellion in ozder that they may be extermi- nated. ‘This would settle the land question for atleast acentury. If trouble should come, and itis very likely to come, what nation would be 80 hikely to befriend ireland as America would? or what party in America could DO IT SO WELL.

What Has the Democratic Party Done for Irishmen? ‘ New York Tablet. _. What has the Democratic party done for the Tfish that they should bow down in, allegiance before its chtefs? 4 Why the politicians should select the Irish, any more than the Germans or Italians, to op- erate upon, we are at @ loss to know, unless itbe that their estimate of the intelligence and in- dependence of the former was of so low a stand- ard that they felt confident that he would ve pliant yietim in tio hands of political knaves and tricksters. We would ask those spouters and writers who would have the Irish citizen ss orthodox in his- political asin bis religious faith, what has the Democratic ‘purty done for the Irish that they should bow down in allegiance before its chiefs and slavishly vote at their behest, even though their nominee should be u notorious biackleg, a political swindler, or worthless puppet simply used as a designing tool to carry out the behests of his corrupt masters?’ Havo they ever given them the recoguition that their numbers and numerical! intluence entitles them to? Have they ever.elected an Irish‘citizen to a city, Stuto, r National office of trust and dignity? They have not, and when driven to put, {rish citizens on their ticket for such offices they themselves assasinated them in the dark by voting for Re- publicans in thelr place. If we go back to the early daysot the late War, we find that while the gallant Irish soldier Was fighting for the preservation of this glorious Republic and attesting bis fuith to the lund of his ‘adoption by the sacritice of his very life, tho Copperhead sympathizers with the South, chichy in Now York, were secretly urging the unthink- {ug portion of.our impulsive countrymen into riots and other seditious acts, which hay tended much to lessen the esteem and respect enter- tained for us by the American peoplis. Again, during the relge of the corrupt ‘Iweod Ring, the unthinking Irish voters were used by their de- signing countrymen who aepired to a nomina- tion or who held some fat sinecure to aid in perpetuat a system of robbery, fraud, and Beclury on the most gigantic scale. These are not very pleasant reminiscences, but they have been forced from us by the dictu- torial tone of the partisun organs of the Demo- Leratic party, and by the sneering manner in which they prescripe to the Irish citizen us to how he shall cast his vote. ,We tell them that theday for such assumption is gone, and that there is a healthy spirit growing among the Trish, particularly amyng tho iutelligent rising neration, that will not brook this servile Sepradation of voting at the beck of any man or party, ‘We care not whether our fellow Irish citizens vote the Democratic or Hepublicnn tcket, for there is no great National issue at stake; but, for our honor and reputation asa liberty-loving, independent people, we earnestly appeal to them to cast their votes frec and ustrammeled as their conscience dictates, and not to suffer themselves to be driven tothe polls Uke a set of sdulless “serfs, with ‘a ‘perjured ballot—the emblem of their slavery—in their hands. If we Irish do not prove ourselves worthy of freedom here, we néver‘can achieve the libera- tion of Ireland, for the men who abuse the blessing of a freegovernment and prostitute the ballot, the most sacred of institutions, will not command the respect, the support, or sympathy of Americans in their struggle to get rid of oppression in the land of their birth. As we havo sald. we do not presume to dictate to nny man whether he shall vote fora Democrat or a Republican, but we carnestly urge upon our Irish readers to cast aside party trammels and party leadership, and to vote as their judgment and conscience dictate, honestly snd ‘inde- pendently in the sight of God-and man, ———— HANCOCK’S SOLILOQUY.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Caroaco, Oct. 9.—There is not the slightest doubt but that Utah, with all its nastiness of polygamy, will be admitted as a State of the Union, if the Democratic party is successful this fall. Do the desnent and respectable people of the United States wish to have this “relic of barbarism” fustened upon the country, to its shame and disgrace? The only way to uvoid it 1s to vote against the Democratic ticket. A vote for Hancock is, therefore, 2 vote for the perpetuation of polyg- amy and all it implies. G. Cc.

To the Editor of ‘The Chicago Tribune, Cx10AG0, Oct. 9.—Ther is to the people of the West Division in the: street-railway movements now before the City Council more than a’mere struggle between rival compantes for the pos- session of certain streets. It 1s a question whether we shal bav'a belthy competition for the patronage of the people; securing proper fa- cilities and accommodations, or whether we shal giv over the largest and most populous portion of, the clty to the possession of a single corporation which, during an existdnce of a quarter of acent- ury, has never shown any spirit of conciliation or fairnes, or endevored, by the extension of its nes beyond the points wher they would pay large dividends, to assist in the development of Sparsely-settled portions of the city. Alredy the West Division Railway Company has tracks upon West Randolph, and Lake, Madison, Hal- sted, Canal, Twelfth; Clinton, Jefferson, Van Buren, ond Indiana streets, and Milwaukee, Blue Island, Ogden, and Chicago avenues, eproading out its arms like a huge octopus, seck- {ng to inclose in its relentless grasp the entire West Side. And, now that a rival company has appeared, it seeks to close up Lake street sothat no competitor shal hav communication bo- tween the business portion of the city, from the Chicago River to Twelfth street, and the West Division. Ifit succeeds in this endevor, it can then put on just asmanyor as few cnrs as it pleases, at -its own sweot wil, giving us seat-room or compelling us to hang on vy our teeth and eyebrows, as we hav done these many years. Jf it fails, and its rival secures Luke and Fultoh streets,—as it certainly ought to,—we shai hav a struggle to secure pub- Vie patronago by superior accommodations and ample facilities for travel. ‘Then we shal hav an outlet for the passengers who ur now compelled to endure the slights and discomforts of street- car travel, nccompanied as they ar by actual dunger to life and limb. In brief, if the people of the West Division would not giv themselves over to a grasping, seltish, uascrupulous mo- nopoly, they must do al in their power to secure a competitor to the’corporation presided over by the distinguisht gentleman trom Galena. ‘The truth is, there ur, not, at present, a suffi- cient number of street-cur lines to accommo- date the enormousand rupidiy-increasing travel |- tions of the city. The time fs near at hand when lines upon Fulton and: other streets wil be an absolute n its for.Lake and Handojph ar ulredy so badly crowded that a sufticient number of cargcan hardly be put upon them; and, if thoy can be, ‘Mr. Jones 1s so busily engaged in throwing away his money upon unremunerativ tnes—according to his own assertion—that he cannot pay atten- tion to those which ar paying him such enor- mous dividends that bis stock is held ata pre- mium of nearly 200 per cent and cannot be bought at that! When that portion of the city west of the belt railroxd shal be as thickly built upas that portion between Ashland and West- ern avenues—a result certain to be reacht with- inthe nextten yeurs—overy street having a bridg wil hay to be given over tostreet cartravel, between the two whether it be 2 busines or a resideng thorouch- fare. Remember that from S{ate strect to the east line of Central Purk isa Qistang of nearly five miles, and thut al, this vast territory {8 alredy wel filled or likely soon to be, and that greater or les transportation facilities wil be demanded by the reaidentS and people interested; andthe greater the West Division Compuny show no disposition to grant rules to extend and. perpetuate its odinus monopoly. If is fitting that the movement to giv over Lake street to the West Division Railway Com- ay should hav its origin with the notorious Trask gang, the first cal for a meeting for that urpose having ben signed by the delectuble Bawara A. himself. Nice company to ieud Capt. Dobson, Dr. Gray, F. 5. Baird. et id ome geaus about, and tel them how much a railroad would injure their fulton-street property! it is especially edifying at this time to see Mr. Baird and other property-owners west of the belt railway petitioning the Council to grant further concessions to the West Division Com- any. After having been insulted, and brow- aten, and outraged, and denied just privileges by that corporation, they now turn around and Jick the band that strikes tham. “This is “rubbing it iu” with a veogeang! ‘They know, or ought 10 know «by *th time, that’ the West Division Railway Company wil not extend its Lake-street track west of the belt railrond for the next five years, unless compelied to. The experieng of the past few years ought to have taught Mr. Baird and his neighbors’ 2 Icsson voncorning the enter- prise und magnanimity of that corporation; but it seems to bay ben lost upon them. 2 ‘The City Council and the Mayor, as the guard~ fans of the public interest, owe it to the people to see that we hav no further extension of the monopoly of the West Division Company—that in providing means for rapia and economical transportation between the various portions of the city, noone set of men shal hav control of them, to the exclusion of honest and wide-awake competition. Let the people watch the course of their representatives in this matter,and, by personal effort, endevor to induce them tovote on the right sida. RB MUSIC. Another Chicago Concert Com- pany Organized, Still Another Musical Prize in Cincinnati. Gossip in Operatic Circles—News at Home and Abroad. Avery strong concert company has recently ‘been formed in this city which will content it- self, at least for the present, within a field which may be described us embracing such towns and cities aa lie within easy reach of Chicago. This is necessary chiefly because of the fact that the members have contracts with different churches which obligate their services every Sebbath- Day. The company consists of Jessie Bartlett Davie; Ada Somers BcWade; Mr. Charlies A. Knorr, the well-known tenor; Mr. Charles H. Clark,a tenor from the East, who comes here . With an excellent reputation; Mr. John E.Mc- Wade; and Mr. Charles F. Noble, the busso. Mr. Frank Baird, the organist of the Third Presby- terian Church, is the pianist of the company. ‘The male quartet will-be known as the Chicago Chickering Quartet, and their songs will be of ‘those known as the “Chickering Selection.” The organization is an exceptional one in respect to the varied pro- gram they will be able to present. Bestde the ladies, three of the gentlemen ‘are tine solo singers. They will be able to give duets, trios, quartets, quintets, and soxtets, as the ensem- ble is exceptionally strong. Mr. William J. Da- vis, the associate manager of the Grand Opera- louse, will manage the business interests of the company. é _., CHAMBER CONCERT. The first concert of the Lies¢gang-Helmen- dab!

TM the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. , CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—Your correspondent, *Must- ¢a Justitia,” in his communication published io a recent issue of Tae TRIBUNE, inquires the a of Mr. Boscovitz, intimating that ‘From nis Ae Parent age be is elther too young to have Studied with Chopin or 80 young as to have for- gotten the master's interpretations. Now, I have not seen Mr, Boscovitz's certificate of birth, but understand him to be 42 years of age. He. studied with Chopin during the last year of the master’s lite, he being at that time 11 years of age. Having begun e study of plano-playing at T years of age under Carl Czerny, be was at the age of I1u fine pianist; asa proof of which muy be instanced the fact that at that time he could play most of Beethoven's Sonatas and ach’s forty-eight Preludes and Fugues from memory. I believe .it was in his lth year that Rubinstein won his first great successes in En- land, Jt was at the uge of li that Franz iszt, when playing before Beethoven, offered’ to play any one of Luch's forty-eight Preludes” ond Fugues in any Key that might be called for,a feat which aud often executed, and did play the Fsharp minor Fugue, the tirat partin one key and tho second in another. At the close of this cele- brated “interview, after Liszt had played Bee- thoven’s great B tat Trio, the latter said. “Enough, you bave underst me; ‘go and make others understand me also.” The above are cited as examples of what js possible to an ll-year-old artist, and if there were any danger of Mr. wita’s forgetting Chopin's interpretations, the six years of bis study with Liszt, who knows them better than any man now + living, would have effectually prevented such a thing. It is possible, too, that study with Chopin, even at the tender age of 11, would enable a per- son to know more of his methods than would be the case with those who never studied with bim atall “Musicu Justitia,” to jndge from his let- ter, appears to be actuated far more by profes- sional jealousy than a desire to have Jostice done, Farr Puay.

Dudley Buck’s new comic opera, “ Deseret,” will be produced in Haverly’s Theatre at New York on the Utb. The event is awaited with cousiderabie interest, and $3,000 worth of tickets for the first series of performances have been sold already. The Paris correspondent af the New York Sun writes: * Mupleson was here recently, trying to persuade Nilsson to go to America. He worked ard-at it, but her husband cannot leave Paris, and he does not want to leave her for so long 2 time. So she does not go. No very great loss. Her voice ts all gone. Yet in Boito’s ‘Mefistotile’ she has some splendid moments.” The same correspondent suys of Gerster: “Gerster has grown stout since her accouchement. But whut she has gained in flesh she bas lost in voice. She never was more thunéfor a day. In Europe, young as she fs, he is played ont. On* Lucia,’ *Sonnambula.” and ‘Puritanl’ one cannot live long.

A large number of seats were nigo sold for the season, and the receipts were a little more than $25,000.’ The sale of single seats will bogin on Wednesday next. On the opening night of the season ‘Lucia’ will be produced, with Gerster, Galass!, and the lesser lights of the company. ‘La Favorita’ will be produced on the Wednesday following, in which Aunic Louise Cary, Pampanint, and the basso Novara will appear.’ On Friday it is arranged that Vul- leria will make her début as Marguerite in ‘Faust,’ and Gerster will appear again on Sat- urday.’ On the 25th Belocca will appear in ‘Car- men.” Campanini and Vaileria are expected to arrive on the Ceitie on Friday, and the City of Chester, due on Sunday, will bring the rest, of the company, about 13)’ in all. As soon after their nrrival as possible rehearsals of the new opera ‘ Mefistoftie ’ will begin.” From proof sheets of Manager Mapleson’s prospectus for his Americin sexson the follow- ing statements are gleaned.

He kept a wide-open eye upon me, I had notonly to give the beat, but to give ee the pitch. That was a terrible undertak-~ ing.” A Paris correspondent writes about Kellogg as follows: * A strange apathy bas come over her in respect to singing. “She sald to me: *Some- times I feel as if I never wunted to sing another note in public.’ * You sbali not say that!" cried atady amateur present; ‘for you to relinquish your career would be too great a shame.’ The fatigues of the operutic career, with tho bicker- ings and jealousies of professional fife, have bad mueh to do with bending her mind in this direc- tion.
