American visitors to Europe, are struck with the widespread lack of knowledge evident among all classes of Europeans with regard to the immense strides made by art and culture in the United States. To the credit of Germany be it said that this country was one of the first to recognise that the popular conception of the New World as the stronghold of Philistinism was grossly exaggerated; that worshippers at the shrine of the Muses were as numerous and as enthusiastic in America as in the older continent; and that nowhere were music, art, and literature accorded a higher place than in the United States. Nevertheless, one still hears ex pressions of surprise at the vast multitudes of American travellers who annually cross the Atlantic to render homage to the memory of those giants in all phases of art whose works are contained in the galleries of Italy, France, and Germany, or ex pounded in the opera houses of Europe. If doubt exists in the mind of any non-American reader, let him observe the conduct of American tourists in the art gallery of Dresden, standing with speech less reverence before Raphael’s immortal masterpiece, striving, with no little success, to realise the ex quisitely portrayed conception of the lofty faith which inspired the painter’s brush. Or let him make the acquaintance of some American man or woman who regularly attends performances at the Opera House, when he will find them quite as frankly appreciative of beauties in harmony as the most enthusiastic devotees among his own countrymen. Those who can speak with authority declare that the two great opera houses in New York succeed in attracting the finest talent in the world, and a successful debut at the Manhattan or Metropolitan sets the seal of distinguished quality on the vocal artist. Great singers and musicians are certain of finding a cordial welcome across the Atlantic, though it has frequently been proved that a great name goes for nothing if the artist does not live up to the reputation which has preceded him. It is true that a momentary attitude of apathy towards Wagner is visible in New, York just now, and Mr. Lawrence Gilman, writing in the North American Review, has some very interesting remarks on this subject. He admits that a score of years ago in New York Wagner virtually reigned alone over his king dom. The dignity, the imaginative power, and the impressive emotional sweep of his dramas, as dramas, offset their obscurity and their inordinate bulk; and always, says Mr. Gilman, their splendid investiture of music exerted, in and of itself, an enthralling fascination. And that condition of af fairs might have continued for much longer had not certain impetuous young men of modern Italy demonstrated the possibility of writing operas which were both dramatically engrossing and musically eloquent, and which had the incalculable merit, for our time and environment, of being both swift in movement and unimpeachably obvious in meaning. Thereupon began the reign of young Italy in con temporary opera. It was inaugurated with the “Cavalleria Rusticana” of Mascagni and the “I Pagliacci” of Leoncavallo; and it is continued today, with immense vigour and persistence, by Puccini with all his later works. But in America the music of Wagner lives, as an independent commentary that is of almost universal scope in its voicing of the moods and emotions of men and the varied pageant of the visible world. As music it is still, at its best, unparalleled and unapproached; and, as Pater prophesied of the poetry of Rossetti, more torches will be lit from its flame than even enthusiasts imagine. In American opinion nothing can ever dim the glory of Wagner, the weaver of tones. His place is secure among the Olympians: where he sits, one likes to fancy, apart—a little lonely and disdainful. His music is both gorgeous and exquisite, epical and tender, sublimely noble, and human as passion and 4 es pai r * It is obvious from this writer that Wagner is held in high reverence by the musical world of America, and he does not stand alone. The strenuous life in America, of which Europe hears so much, has not succeeded in stultifying the innate strain of mysticism, the indefinable striving after un- material ideals that is an . essential and truly Ameri can trait. The vast conglomeration of varied racial elements constituting the population of the United States has not yet evolved into one distinctive whole, but when the present inchoate mass has been synthetised by the mellowing influence of years, it will indeed be surprising if America does not pro duce masters in every branch of art and culture who will rival the greatest that the Old World has yet produced. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. UNEMPLOYED DEMONSTRATION IN GLASGOW. Glasgow, September 10. Three thousand unemployed men assembled yester day in George Square, where inflammatory speeches were delivered. The police interfered and dispersed the meeting; but the men again formed in proces sion, and went through the streets inhabited by the well-to-do classes, singing and shouting. The leaders intended to make a demonstration in front of the Mayor’s house; but, when they arrived within a quarter of a mile of it, they were surprised by a party of mounted police who broke up the pro cession and scattered the demonstrators in all direc tions. Several arrests were made. As the mounted police made free use of their truncheons, some of the processionists sustained broken heads. The police have taken the necessary steps to prevent a recurrence of such disorders. NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE PRESIDENTIAL FIGHT. The political campaign is now in full swing, and the rival organisations are flooding the country with literary powder and shot for the fray. Each of the orthodox party candidates, Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, is striving to induce the electorate to believe that Mr. Roosevelt’s mantle has fallen upon him, for, in spite of the fact that in the East Mr. Roose velt’s policies, or at any rate his somewhat im petuous methods of carrying them out, are not po pular, for they have been accompanied by continued hard times, the general sentiment of the voters is enthusiastically Rooseveltian. Mr. Roosevelt has al ways been a terror to evildoers. That is the main secret of the hero-worship of his followers. Mr. Taft never fails to devote a portion of his speeches to a stirring eulogy of the inimitable President, while Mr. Bryan is equally persistent in claiming that he, who denounced Trusts before Mr. Roosevelt was ever heard of, is Mr. Roosevelt’s national heir. Governor Hughes, who, notwithstanding the oppo sition of the racing element and machine politicians, is, says a New York report, likely to be renominated for the Governorship of New York State, spoke in Ohio on behalf of Mr. Taft. He boldly predicted that the hard times would be harder if Mr. Bryan won. Here is a characteristic passage from the speech: “Mr. Taft is a skilled seaman of statesmanship, who takes his reckoning by the fixed stars of human nature and experience, not an uncertain astrologer casting absurd horoscopes from imaginary signs and symbols. And not once on all his voyages has the reckoning he has made been wrong; not once has a single horoscope that Mr. Bryan has cast been right. When the great commander, who has guided our ship of State through the storms of opposition and amid the rocks of hatred straight for the port of our higher hopes and our larger liberties, volun tarily steps from the bridge and delivers to us his high commission, let us hand it to the ablest officer aboard, and safely make the harbour of our heart’s desire.” Mr. Bryan arrived in New York this week. There is much curiosity to see if he will dare to denounce the great merchant princes in that immense com mercial centre. It is still firmly believed there that Mr. Roosevelt’s unceasing attacks on predatory wealth have done much to impair credit and frighten enterprise. The almost unprecedented number of unemployed last winter and spring is responsible for a widespread feeling in New York and New Jersey States that the country requires a President who will restrain his strenuosity until a more sub stantial revival of business conditions. New York is a “key State,” and though its normal Republican majority is 80,000, the result this year is doubtful. Of the minor candidatures little has so far been heard of the progress of Mr. Debs, the Socialist, or of the Prohibitionist or the Populist nominees. However, Mr. Hisgen, who is generally called Mr. Hearst’s candidate, is making a spectacular cam paign, the nature of which may be judged by the following extract from a speech he delivered at Milwaukee early this week: “I voted for Mr. Bryan twice, but the principles for which I stood, and now stand, Mr. Bryan no longer re presents. The high-class criminals of the Trusts are now living beyond the law; they defy it and laugh at it. They do not even pay their fines when the Court goes through the formality of assessing them. If I am elected President I shall do my utmost to march those escaped criminals straight to gaol, where they belong.” Thousands of intelligent citizens seem to be tak ing Mr. Hisgen seriously, and not as a joke. RELIGION A FACTOR IN THE CAMPAIGN. It is reported from New York that Senator Burkett, the youngest member of the United States Upper House, who is campaigning in Nebraska against Mr. Bryan, has stirred up a hornets’ nest by making an issue of Mr. Taft’s religious beliefs. Out West the old Puritanical spirit is a great deal more dominant than it is, for instance, in a city like New York, where few candidates are specially solicitous about obtaining the aggressive support of clergymen of any denomination. In the course of speech at Lincoln the other night, a farmer interrupted with a question which was received with encouraging cheers. The query was Is Mr. Taft a Unitarian ?” The senator brought down the house by denouncing the story as a trick of the Democratic party, declaring that Mr. Taft was no more a member of any Unitarian church than he (the senator) was. It seems that a local evangelist who happened to be present at the meeting was not altogether convinced by the sena- (Continued on page 2.)
