TELUPIIONU tor government participation, although the several matters of detail nro yet to bo pawed upon. The appropriation section was considered J a length ami the view prevailed that an the government was to contribute one-third of tho cost of the enterprise the bill should provide that tho government will share pro portionately with St. Ixiula and the sub scribers In the net proceeds from the en terprise. Tho section was referred to a subcommittee to redraft It with this end In view. With this chango It Is probable that the committee will favor government assist ance, although that question and the amount are left open. The various departments also nro to be called on to suggest nny changes desired In tho provisions for their several exhibits. The committee will meet on the 22d Instant to finally pass on the nubject. An editorial In Tho Ileo of yesterday called attention to tho fact that Omaha was beginning to regain I's reputation In theat rical circles by giving to tho recent first class attractions at tho Iloyd theater a handfomo support financially. It looks like a tendency In tho right di rection and tho peoplo of this beautiful nnd well-governed city will doubtless do much to encourago managers to invent their time end tnoney In theatrlcnt experiments more frequently In tho future than has been tho casn In the past. That this will have a de elded Influence upon tho musical atmosphcro thero Is no room for doubt. When tho drama Is appreciated to the extent that It will crowd out tho farce, then wo may ex pect a revival of the legitimate In music, the lofty art Idenlfi, the development of tho classics and the abolition of the mcdlocro nnd the Indifferent- To begin tho season with the Orau Opera company will In Itself be a meet auspicious opening and It should start Into motion tho wheels of every bit of local musical ma chinery. Omaha will turn out to patronize the great combination If they come, but It is more than likely that mnny of the mil slclans will Btny at homo as UBual.

It Is posnlble to havo this artist in Omaha during the next season. Another great musical attraction which will probably visit Omaha will be the cele brated Strains orchewtra, with Hcrr Eduard StraiitH at tho head of the fifty players. The ompercr of Austria has glvon his consent to tho American visit and the tour will bo a long one, embracing over a hundred con-, certs.

It Is a matter of much Importanco that this powerful musical association should como west nnd the benefits will bo far reach ing.
