Making Fair Music.

Replying to an inquiry from the Chicago
Tribune relative to the character and cost
Of the music which should enIiven the
worlds fair, Director Philip Soussa, of the
Marine band at Washington, expresses the
opinion that while american compositions.
everything else being equal, should be given
the preference on all official days, no COM
position should be performed simply because
it is American.
AlliteratiVely and in lively strain the
professor then goes ahead to say that Much
has been said about excluding foreign COM
positions. | contend that if we are to adj
NIT foreign machinery, why not foreign
music? German Sausages are welcomed,
why not German symphonies! If French
fashions, why not French fantasies If
Italian oils. why not Italian Cdess If Brit
ish merchandise, why not British madrigals?
mo, Mr.. Editor, we cannot conscien-
tiously extend an invitation to our friends
across the way to visit us, and then restrict
them to the hog pen and the kitchen. We
are too proud to say we can surpass your
hardware, but not your harmony; your
cutlery, but not your counterpolnt; your

opening of the fair. Let the competition be
open to the world. and let the laurel wreath
bedeck the brow Of him who rises to the
sublimity OF the occasion, whether he calls
his home Senegsmbia or Sioux City, Pump
kintown or Patagonia
If the professors musical compositions are
as bright as his notes to the newspapers. he
ought to stand a very good chance Of draw
ing the prize himself Nevertheless his very
liberal sentiments denote a breadth of view
that is deserving of commentator. Still.
there is one point upon which we must beg
TO interject dissenting reInonstrance, and
that is the anniversary ode. by all means

The Tramp With Consumption

was at my uncle's, near Niagara Falls in
Canada, says the New York Sun, and had hardly
arrived when he said:
Now, Nevvy, you'll be wandering around
more or less. and want to caution you about
an old ram took up as estrsy the other
week. He's down in the lot where the gravel
pit is, and just as sure as you give him 3 show

into the lot for $50"
Next day sklrted the fences and found the
old chap anxious for business | didn't give
him an opening. however, but somebody else
did. was standing in the barn with uncle
when he suddenly exclaimed:
Great Joseph but there's a tramp in the
gravel pit lot That ram will Smash him to
pulp in two minutes.
He shouted, waved his hat, and shouted
again, but the tramp was quarter of a lie
away, and walking with his head down. The
ram was lying down in the pit, and the yelling
brought him ont. We saw him scramble up
the bank, and my uncle gasped out.
Gi5 moss hitched up to go for the under
talser. for that tramp won't be alive two min
utes later!"
He was, though. The ram came at him on an
angle, and he caught sight of the animal when
about 10 rods off. He wheeled 10 this right

and then sailed through the air on a straight
line to strike him. Next instant the tramp htsd

Social Status of the Hat.

The hat prevents the loafer from taking his
position as a gentleman, says the Chicago
Herald, and it also will bstray the vagaries and
eccentrcities-at times-of the man with the
evenly balanced head. Now, here is a story
that is known TO everybody in tue northwest
but don't rember that it has ever been seen in
print. A very prominent man in Visions 10,
lolding office at the capital of the state, was
very convivial in disposition, and sometimes
would betray the fact of his being q victim 10
his disposition by returning late at night and
in retiring fling mis- clothing about the room in
anything but dignified display The devoted
wife usually gagged the amount of wine in
duled in by the mild or the furious confusion of
the room One night this prominent man had
been, imbohg little more than
usual, and out of respect to
the opinion of his wife aud as
a sort of an apology to himself decided that for
once he would not betray the fact that the dinner
party at which he had been the honored guest
was little too cornwall He returned TO his
house and slipped quiet up to his sleeping
room. In undressing he took great pains tnat
every article of clothing was folded and put
carefully in its proper place. With glance
around the room that proved that everything
was in order, he lowered the gas and retired
He had had time only TO feign sleep when his
wife entered. As she turned up the gas she
said:
Judge, you are drunk"
He raised up in bed astounded. He glanced
around. He had made no mistake. Not thing
was out of place. lie said
Now, my dear, how unjust of You.
Isn't everything in this room just as it should
be?'
Yes, the room certainly is as it should be,
but no sober man ever goes to bed with his hat
on"

effected a cure at Carlsbad! asks the Chicago
Neus. He had been ailing for months, was al
run down, and everybody advised him to go tc
Europe. So 20 he did, taking his wife with
him, In Europe everybody told him he ought

thing to do and finally went to bed out Of sheer
despair; got up next morning visited the spring

Juealine With .Trstics;.

Investigation Of the conduct Of the United
States courts in the several states OF this
union show that the observance Of law IS
disgracefully lax and the administration Of
justice has come to be lite short Of a
travesty. This matter has, for The past six
months, beeu the subject OF official scrutiny
! by subcommittee appointed by
the congressional Judiciary com
mittee for that purpose. They report
/ that they found the federal Instruments Of
justice prosperous and happy and running
| things pretty much according 70 the bent Of
their own inclinstions and largely IN con-
sonance with the measure Of their personal
necessities. They had the key TO the cup
board, SO TO ST eak, and they treated them
selves kindly and with marked generosity.
They had Justice on tap and when they
felt thirsty they sold a small chunk and
bought drink. In other affairs Of life
they treated themselves with equally
uniform consideration.
According to the statements Of Chairman
Thompson this transgression Of law was
more conspicuous in some of the southern
states What else could be expected where
primarily because of their disreputable char
acter Gust to spite democrats, and essential
qualifications for the official duties of the
position ere made a secondary considera-
ton.
Judges were in the habit Of literally ex-
ercising the pardoning power, the com
mittee found. by indefinitely suspending
sentence when so disposed. This courtesy
was probably extended to their personal
and political friends Commissioners openly
paid 81 each for com plants, however triv-
ial, in order that they might charge big
fees for hearing the case and allow all OF
their relatives fees for attendance as wit
nesses. Marshals sat in their houses aud
imagined bold. bad mo 3nshine-s and
charged 81 a day for trying to catch
them under the bed. Other equally base
less charges were made for alleged services.
All Ct this had to be sworn to, but they
didn't mind a little thing ike that In Bos-
ton clerks were found arrogeting the func- |
tons Of open court by issuing certificates of |
and charging the govern |
nent for the blanks 80 used, although they |
Illegally pocksted all of the extortionate |
fees demanded. These things came to be so
common, we are told, that 1.-THE attorney |
general complained of it,"
Now, why should the Attorney General |
of breach of law in bis depart
ment! What is he there for if not to see |
that such fragrant misuses Of courts are i'm
nediately stopped. and all attempted per
versions OF justice remedied! Why didn't he |
stop it himself. He has the power Was |
be afraid of anybody or any influence If
ne was he is unfit for his Office. There are |
ways for getting unfit judges, marshals and
out of office, and his failure
TO employ the means at his command TO
protect the people would indicate that he
hasn't been faithful to the trust reposed in
lin.

The Pension Rurde

The northern people are beginning tc
wake up to the fact that the pension
burden is getting to be a bigger one than
they want to carry. Secretary Noble, in mis-
annual report, shows that 1913, 10000 Will
be required for pensions this year Not
withstanding tbe wars in Europe this cOun-
try pays in pensions nearly five times much
as Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria
Hungary and Belgium combined. The lib
crafty Of this country iu the matter of
pensions is something extraordinary.
And yet there are men IN congress, pro-
Tossing 70 be statesmen, who say that the
country has not done It's duty yet to those
who fought for the union side, and they are
the authors of bills which, if they should
become laws, would almost double the pen
sion burden. The irrepressible Picker,
representative from South Dakota, has
hardly had time yet to warm the seat that
has been assigned him, but his
voice has been heard for more
pensions. He has introduced bill to give
all pensioners So a month who receive less
than that SUM. As there are about 10000
of them, if his bill were to become a law,
there would be another heavy drain on the
treasury. Il looks very much as if he were
in league with the pension sharks in Wash
ington, who are continually suggesting new
ways TO increase pensions, not that they
care about the old soldiers, but for the pur-
pose Of filling their own pockets
Congress has at last taken notice OF the
fees of these pension robbers, and
a bill has been introduced 10 cut down their
fees. If the fees were cut off altogether
there would be an immediate falling OFF in
the number Of pension schemes before con-
yress

The American Girl.

From London Punch
She ''guesses' and she calculates" she wears
all sorts OF collars.
Her yellow hair is not without suspicion Of a
dye;
Her 'pappa" is dull old man, who turned porl,
into dollars
But every one admits that she's individually
spry.
She did Rome in a swift two days, gave half the
time to Venice,
But VOWS that she saw everything, although
in awful haste;
She's fond of dancing, but she seems 20 fight
shy of lawn tennis,
Because it might endanger the proportions of
her waist.
Her manner might be well defined as elegantly
skittsh;
She loves lord as only republican can do;
And quite the best of titles, she's persuaded are
the British,
And well she knows the ''Peerage,' for she
reads 1t through and through,
She's bediamonded superbly and shines like a
constellation
You scarce can see her fingers for the multi
She's just a shade too conscious, so it seems, of
With irritating tendencies to wriggle when
she sings.
She owns she is "Amur' can, - and her accent is
alarming;
Her birthplace has an awful name you pray
you may forget
Yet, after all, we own la Belle Americaine'i is
charming,
So let us hope she'll win at last her long
sought coronet.
