Music in Europe.

Speaking of singing, Mr.. Brand made
the startling statement that not one pub
lie singer in ten in America can read
music fluently, while in Europe the chill
dren. are educated in this direction from
childhood. In Stockholm is to be heard
the finest chorus in the world-that OF
the students in the university. A short
time before Mr. Brands visit, an Amer.
lean manager tried to effect an arrange
ment to bring over 100 of the best sing
ers. In addition to paying the expenses,
he offered the students 81 week for
spending money. They didn't accept.
The atmosphere, undoubtedly, has some
thing to do with the fine timbre of Scan
dinavian voices. Then, too, the loose
gowns worn by the women allow their
lungs and voices full development. Sc
well do the people read music that large
assemblages readily sing pieces which
they have never seen before. One chorus
of thirty voices which sings for King
Oscar and which has practiced together
for fifteen years keeps such perfect tins
that one who hears without seeing th<
singers would think that it was only 9

Caste in India.

A Hindoo will make caste an excuse
for anything, and Anglo-Indian law win
back him up in his villainy. If in pass
ing through a crowded bazar your cloth
ing should brush against heap of grain
exposed on the ground, as everything is
here, and if this grain merchant should
claim that this grain was set apart for
native food; if this honest native chooses
to make you buy that heap of grain at
his own selling price, he has the law on
his side. and the judge also, if, as is so
often the case, the judge be Hindoo.
You may wish to keep house in mod
est sort of way, and you may wish to
have as few servants about the house as
possible. In America one servant, or
two at most, would he ample, but here
on the same scale of living you must

horse; for this you must pay another
man. You must have the big doors all
around the house wide open these hot

THE Morning News publishes q
blathersklte, political claptrep letter of
Theodore Roosevelt saying that every old
soldier is entitled to an Office without
regard TO character or fitness, and says:
Mr. Tanner is governed by the same
feeling, and he has given perhaps undue
expression to it,
That is precisely the complaint against
Tanner. He mas allowed his feelings to
get control of his Judgment That Is
what he is condemned for. He is not
giving and rerating the pensions
of honest veterans whose cases appeal
to his Judgment. but of cases in the
hands Of dishonest and persistent agents
who appeal to his feeling" II is erimi-
nal for an officer not to exercise his iudg-
ment in an executive office. That is what
he was put there for. MIR. Robinson has
shown just as much even more feeling"
in his distribution Of the money to the
Johnstown sufferers, but he has also
shown judgment of the highest order. If
the News were not afflicted with partisan
blindness il could distinguish between
the blatant, conspicuous and
mouthing exhibition Of vulgar "feel.
ing on the part Of Tan.
ner and the quiet, effective, sensible
judgment in the distribution Of charity
by Mr.. Robinson. That is just the dis
tinction that the Democrats make. They
are ready to take care Of the old soldier.
But Tanners way Of taking care OF
Tanner, Tanners daughters and Tanner
friends and finally Of the particular DO.
litical party to which Tanner belongs, is
not like Mr.. Robinson's way of accepting
a trust and discharging it without pay OF
favor so as to win admiration Of all men
and to relieve suffering with unerrine
judgment, discretion and effectiveness.
