being worth In shcct-music form more than
Mr.. Peters asks for the entire lot.
Giving so much really good music for such a
small sum, it is no wonder that Peters Music

music loving people. Those who have seen

of the great purpose which concentrated
Federal authority was all armed and
ready to carry out. 1t is well to know
this; but still We do not despair Of the
Republic while its people live. We have
no fears Of the iron hand as long as the
popular voice is not stilled. Already the
spark lit in Louisiana has kindled q
flame in Congress that is destined. ere

The Despatch of Troops. to Arkas

The Despatch of Troops to Arkas
The Washington correspondent of the
New York World says:
Senator Rice Liberal, of Arkansas
attempted futile task last Thursday
wien he undertook to push through the
Senate resolution calling upon the
president for information relative to the
sending of United States troops to hi.
State When it came to a vote the Grant
Senators dismissed it as unceremopious.
ly As II 1t had been call tor information
as to the number Of cigars their master
smokes each day. Mr.. Edmonds, oil
Vermont, did take the trouble to say ths,
1t was an extraordinary resolution, and
Powell Clayton Radical, of Arkansas
OF course kicked against it. Mr.. Rice
reasons for presenting it were rather in
teresting He said it was not aimed a,
the President; in fact he had been to see
the president, and knew all about it; bu,
he wanted the information brought be
fore the public, and especially before the
Arkansas people. He was not objectinp
to the presence of the United States
troops. for the people whom he repre-
sented were law abiding and had nothing
to do with them. He thought if an Off
cial explanation was given public senti
ment would be quietod The admins.
trationists forssaw that such information
might be used as lever against Clayton
and the party, and killed the resolution
in jiffy.
