The committee in charge has donme its duty courageously, faithfully and well. Combatted by the weather throughout almost the entire sea- son, they stood by the work with a courage that defled adversity and a faithtulness which was proved by their constant pres- enco and their earnest attention to every suggestion and criticism offered to them individually or collectively, for the good of the cau The fact that the band came to Omaha under the leadership of a stranger, intead of Creatore, who was at first expected, #dded another adverse feature to the work of the committee. That Signor Rivela over- came the dificulty far as he personally was concerned, is a known fact and should make bis popularity all the more gratifying to him. The committee worked hard even 1t the financlal success was not a great one. Had the ordinary Omaha weather prevailed, there would be a different tale to tell at the box office. —_— There has developed a certain impulse music-wards, which shows itself strenuously in the fact that business men, professional men and others have been completely stirred up musically, a spirit of partisan- ship has been developed; men who, a few years, ago, were indifferent to the claims of afny musical organization, have, figur- atively speaking, put on the fistic gauntlets (verbally of course, after the manner of many pugilists) to defend their Bellstedt, their Innes, or their Rivela, against all com- ers. This is a good sign of the times. It we can only keep the people fighting over their favorites musically, there will be musical atmosphere and plenty of It. Partisanship shows Intense interest and T | am giad to see the day when Omaha psnnle become musical Dartisans. Another proof of mu Interest was the prevalence of contributions to the local press for and was sald was unnecessary, both pro and con, much was truthful, pro and con, and 1 thipk that little good or harm was done on elther side.

The band, like all other bands, hi pacity, its adaptability, its virtue faults. Who can forget Bellstedt's “‘Polacca’ (Weber), his Liszt “Rhapsodies,” his “Invi- tation to the Dance’ (Weber-Welngartner), or his Wagner? Do we not remember Innes nd his “1812" overture (Tshalkowsky), his Love Feast of the Apostles” (Wagner), his “Scenes from the Operas’” and his national and international fantasies? And shall we not remember Rivela in his “Irls" music (Mascagnl), his Itallan oper- atle selectioh and his fascinating marches. These are only a few numbers from ecach, which occur to me as I write. Be not afrald, gentle, readers, you have each your shrine and to each shrine its worshipers. There Is one thing to be regretted in connection with the past three seasons of band concerts and that '~ that Omaba has gone backward in her concept and appre- clation of what a musical festival really is. Is it mot a painful truth that we Omahans who will allow no one to assail our good taste, our education, our culture, our prom- Inence amongst the great cities of our great country, yet have to bow our heads before the little town of Mount Pleasant, Ia., and of Grinnell and of Clinton and Rockford, 11, and Tarkio, Mo., and many others when It comes to a musical festival Symphony orchestras from Chicago and great vocal artists from great musical cen- | ters are demanded by these places for their nnual musicalf festivals, while we are con- |tent with a series of band concerts that | ought to be given free to the people at the | expense of the street rallway company, as is done in many other cities. How much id the Omaha street raflway system do- Date to our band concerts? Were the con- certs as much profit' to the Auditorium | they were to the motor companies? Why can we pot have a real “Omaha Mu- ‘alul Festival" for four days every May, as in days of yore, and let the band concerts (for revenue) be run later, also, as the “Auditorium band concerts.” We can have both. I refuse to admit that there are fewer Omaha people Interested in good music now than there were ten yoars ago. Such & propositien is absurd. We have more money, more people, more bulldings, more homes, more trade, more churches, more choirs, more educated and cultured men and women, more students in every line and more reputation as a city. Shall we suffer in an artistic line? I | think not. Let us have next season a re- turn to the old “festival” idea. Let us have one at Boyd's theater, with fine sym- phony orchestra, festival choir and great soloists, and then let us all turn In and belp the “Auditorfum band concerts’—as band concerts—gt the summer or early fall We can have s festival if we will. Wil we? Let us look back a few years.

It 13 not necessary to comment on thess programs. 1 simply want to show a glimpse of past glory, and ask the people of Omaha if the “best people” are with us still.

Guards are sald to be tiring of thelr Jobs and are leaving in numbers in some of the towns. Thus far few have left In Omaha, despite the talk of serious discon- tent among them.

It has been the one source upon which we bave depended more than any other to break the strike and we have faith- tully endeavored to have this work carried without violence, knowing that aside from the moral wrong of such methods they could mever be made to win. We have fre- quently congratulated ourselves upon the gencral absence of violence since this strike began. 1 have been In more than one such strike and I must say that there has been less violence and lawlessness in this fight |than any I ever knew of equal moment. | The one sad and outrageous fucident which occurred within the last week we deplore more than anybody, but we cannot or could Dot help It.

Only a few days ago, as the papers reported, one of our men, a striker, was brutally assaulted by onme of the Unlon Pacitic guards and that without the least provocation. We deplore that in- cident also.

This s the first deficit reported since November, 1899, when the deficlency amounted to $2,788,950. The feature is the heavy loss in cash, which was same $3,000,~ | 600 In excess of the preliminary estimates. The banks lost this week $5,178,100 in specie and $1,663,600 in logal tenders. Vice President A. B. Hepburn of the Chase National bank said of today's state- ment: “There is rothing In the situation to causs alarm. The west and south have large amounts of money in New York banks. Naturally they will withdraw much of these furds and will borrow considerablo amounts to move grain and cotton. For these perfectly legitimate reasons the local Lanks are likely to lose from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 between this time and the middle of December. “Ot course, this money will have to be supplied by liquidation of loans in this city. Money credits abroad are tolerably easy and gold can be obtained from the other side it desired. Grain and cotton crops will turnish large amounts of for- elgn exchange, thereby facllitating gold im- rorts It necessary. But money must rule high for the rest of the year.'
