THE MONUMENT FArE ooNeKRr.
The storm of last evening prevented .
crowded audience at the concert given in City
Hall for the benefit Of the Monument Fair,
but there was good attendance. The pressure
upon our columns this morning compels Us to
be brief The concert was, artistically, sue
cess whatever 1t may have been peeuniarily.
The most enjoyable number was EngelberR's
Finland Love Song" sung by quartetts
composed Of Messrs Pennell, Tewksbury,
Pierce and Coyle, and chorus Of fifty male
voices from the Weber and Haydn Societies.
1t revealed a wealth OF passion that one would
hardly believe prevails in such high ATTITUDES.
The "Three Pictures" from Rubenstein's
Tower of Babel" Of which we spoke at
length at the last Haydn concert, proved as
peculiar and weird as before. The "Angelus,"
by the Weber Club, showed great attention to
drill. The selections for two pianos by the
quartette from the Rossini Club, were rem
dered with precision, and the various solos
were all encored. Miss Brown has flexible
soprano Of good compass, which she displayed
in "On Mighty PENS" Mrs. Cloudy sang q
song of Marston's deliciously, and both Mr..
Penuell's and Mr.. Coyle's numbers, as well as
their encore pieces, were rendered with fire,
spirit and dramatic force.
GEMS OF MUSICAL cRITIcIsM.
0From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette)
Did he Scaria with his deep basso profundo
voice?
Wagner's music sounds like Cincinnati
riot on tin roof chased by Calling gun.
The great organ was as silent as the grave
after a medical student has interviewed 1t.
One of the "Tannhauser" characters is
Biterolf. He should be muzzled or have his
teeth pulled.
Opera in citizens clothes doesn't catch on
with that holdfastiness characterizing the
other variety.
The young lady who asked in what part Of
Italy Beethoven was born can have the cake
by calling at this office.
One man went away disappointed because
they didn't give either "Sweet Violets" or
"Only Pansy Blossom"
Some of the ladies we're elegantly attired.
Clothes don't make the man, but they give
woman powerful boost.
When Thomas gets stirred up he slings him
self around like man playing short stop and
second base at the same time.
Young men who part their hair in the middle
or bang it, and talk about Beethoven, should
be put in bunch Of pink cotton and be beaten
to jelly with lily stems.
Some Of the folks in the front rows express
the opinion that Searia should be provided
with cuspadore obliRato. What sort of
musical instrument this is deponent knoweth
not.
The autter of the fans,
The hirter of the fans,
In the chorus made most enhancing vision;
Like group of angels fair,
Shine the beauties rich and rare,
In dream of silk and satin null elysian.
Beethoven's Symphony, No. 5, @ Minor, On.
81, is delightful to the artistic ear, but to the
man who has been accustomed to the simpler
melodies of the wiener wurst boys midnight
cry, and the ravishing strains Of the overtime
Rhinery orehestras, there is something in it
which puts him to sleep, in spite Of his most
earnest endeavor to brace up and show the
true musical spirit.

CONDITION OF STATE SAVINGS
BANK OF ST. JOSEPH, MO.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May 28.-A meeting of the cred
itors of the State Savings Bank, which recently
made an assignment, was held yesterday, about 100
persons being in attendance. NJ A. Reed, attorney
for j. M. Wilson, the assignee addressed the meet
ing, assuring the depostors that the condition of
the bank was satisfactory and that it would be able
to pay dollar for dollar. He read telegram from
q. France, the president of the bank who is now
on his way home from New York, where he has been
etfecting settlement with Donnell, Lawson &
Simpson, to the effect that he had secured 5000 600
in cash, 1000 in bonis and held security for the
remainder of the Indebtedness to the amount Of
100000. The available assets OF the bank are
$500, 900, making total cash sum of about $3.50 :
600 that can be controlled by the bank Immediate
~. much better feeling prevailed after the meet
ing.
Hawley g. Co.'s Statement
BOSTON, May 28.-The official statement of the
assignees of Hawley & Co.. the failed banking firm
in Boston, shows an unsecured indebtedness OF
$347 ,46S, twothirds of which are deposits. The
assets with which to pay the same are $42, 585.
There are in addition to the above indebtedness
contingent liabilities of $4,000.
The Pittsburg Bank.
PITTsBURG, May 28-No new developments are
known in regard to the Penn Bank, owing to the
presidents illness. 1t is definitely known that the
concern is completely gutted and It's liabilities are
increasing rapidly Depositors viii be lucky if they
get per cent. Those who had a call on its re-
sources drew with an unsparing hand. The books
shed very little light the identity of those who
deposited with the institution, as accounts are in
fictitious names. Capitalists like W. III. Vanderbilt
are made to masquerade on the 1edgerS for those
getting aid in some unknown way from depositors'
money. The shortage grows greater as the intri-
cacies of the book accounts unraveled and from
less than $3.50, 900 overdrawn it has grown to 81
100000. Today 1t is believed the liabilities win
exceed 50 900. 900,

Who a Democrat?


Reader, do you measure your
democracy by the Worlds or the
Americans or the Courier Journals
opinion upon the tariff? Are you
willing TO be read out of the party
because you don't happen to COIN
upon an extraneous question! Does
the tariff involve all there is of
democracy? Is democracy either
free trade" or "'protection"? If
these things are true, then the par
" has dwindled to fine point and
fallen into the hands of a few men.
Is it any wonder that time has
scored a decade and more since
democracy achieved national tri-
umph whea we see at this late day
her own sons wallowing in the gut
ters pulling each others hairT
Who are these Caesars that must
have their political image stamped
upon democratic coin before it
pa -ses current? When did the par
" delegate TO any man the power
to formulate a policy and say thus
and thus shalt thou? When did
the democratic masses abdicate?
Democracy is a living principle,
safeguard against opp essi0n, life
policy OF freedom, a code Of right
between man and man for their safe
and mutual protection and emolu
ment, a system IF well-defned gov
r.,.r Il ,.,1fnfnn aF.e,l
mems obligations TO each other and
reduce them to law. The tariff,
like all other questions, is incIden
tal-only one Of n thousand. AS
we'll say to man you are no dem
ocra5 unless you are bOw-legged,"
as to read him out because he
doesn't agree with you On the tariff.
Who gave yon the right to be right
and all others wrong? Why must
the World wear out q cudgeL over
Col. Colyar's head because Ae diff
fers with it?
Why must Col. Colyar assassl-
nate Mr.. Watterson because be 10
cranky? Why must the Clarksv'lle
Democrat denOunce Mr. Caldwell
because he voted for Randall a
democrat after the straitest sect,
able, honorable and excellent, whose
democracy is so glazing, glorious
and gallant that it had never entered
into the imagination of mortal
mans mind TO conceive a suspicion
of its genuine purity? Democrats
are engaged in regular roustabout
set-to. Tom has Harry by the ear,
and Dick has Tom by the tail, and
some other crank has another's ear,
and another his tail, and it's tail
and ear. ear and tail-pull Tom, pull
Dick, pull Devil-up the hill and
down the ievel-Kilkenny confu
sion wool flying and cars bleed
ing and tail holt slipping, valley
ing, cussip9 and abusing!
All because Tom and Dick dare
u differ with Harry upon an impor-
tant detail of government, incidental
and extraneous to the real elements
of democracy. Why is all this?
Fellow-citizen it all comes from
pure and indebted demagogy
There are men and papers creating
and fomenting ali this strife and

selves popular.
