that Puccini may find a place for the canine lilt

lation of it into the tongue of Dante and Verdi:
Ogni volta (he vengo a visitare in paese,
La gente commincia a cacciare il mio canino con calci di

Non fa nessun effetto che sia un caninuccio,
Misogna che finiscono di cacciare il mio canino con calci di

land and Johann C. Schmid. The new number
possesses rather unusual qualities and with a little
pushing is expected to develop into a substantial
hit. This is one of the first contributions to the
Remick catalog made by Mr. Friedland since be-
coming connected with that house recently.
A VIENNESE PUBLISHER'S VIEW.
A Vienna publisher says that the comic opera
with a waltz is becoming a most unprofitable ven-
ture. The average purchaser requires the waltz
but not the remainder of the score. He advises
publishers in future to purchase the copyright of
the waltz from the composer and to request him to
dispose of other parts of his stock to autograph
dealers. Collectors of autographs like rare manu-
scripts, but the average publisher prefers lucubra-
tions which are likely to have a large circulation
in print.
THE HOUN' SONG OF MISSOURI.
It is evident by this time that the houn' song
is going to be Missouri's State anthem, unless it
becomes a national air. The latter prospect is sug-
gested by the signal favor with which the lowly
ballad has been greeted in the East, and it may
soon happen that the very persons who lately pro-
tested against connecting the song with this State's
name will be defending Missouri's claim to its
authorship against that of Kentucky, North Caro-
lina or Texas.
The Springfield (Mass., not Mo.) Republican
points to this possibility when, in an editorial
on "The New Rag from the Ozarks," it suggests

Why the Translation of Foreign Operas Into

isfactory.
The same old talk goes on these days about
"opera in English," as if America had not the
chance of its life to escape from the provincialism
which now limits the artistic devolpment of most
great nations of Europe. Think of "Pelleas et
Melisande" sung in English. Where would the
sense of it be? Who wants to hear "Tristan"
sung in English, or French either? Half of the
savor of the thing is lost at once. What would
the vocal or rhetorical or whatever-they-are parts
of Debussy's opera be if they were divorced from
the inflection and the music of Debussy's own
