Discrimination,

AS will be seen by a glance over our
report of the City Fathers meeting on
Friday night, an application to the
Home Circle Orchestra for the use of
the Lester Park Pavilion on the night of
July 10Th, created some little discus
sion as to how public property should
be used by private persons" No
one can take any exception to
the matter being one which
opens fair grounds for discussion,
but fair-minded people are disposed to
think that the question should be ven
tilateG fully and fairly in all its phases.
1t Is customary to grant similar petit
tons made by the brass band, and on
the very night the orchestra s petition
was made, a similar prayer FROM the
Drum Corps for the evening OF June
9th, was favorably received. Ordinary
minded impartial people cannot see in
what respect one musical organization
differs from another in its right to the
use of public property; and some stub
born, unappreciatiVe people cannot see
for what reason one band should be
treated differently to another, or why
unjust discrimination should be made
between a first class miscellaneous Or
chestra and a plain drum corps, espe-
cially 3. when it is conceded on all
handsthat the musical productions
of the former are certainly transcen-
IDENTIFY higher than the din of the lat
ter. which, to some doubtless IN
civilized people, is a nuisance calling
for speedy abatement. Because one
society plays on drums, another on
brass instruments, and q third on
string aud silver instruments, is no rea-
son why the latter should be treated as
''private persons" They are all after
the dollar, as we'll as their musical
cultivation, or they would not have a
material existence.
