Chinese Music.
Century


The musical art Of people who repre-
sent one-hfta OF the earth's population
ought 20 be studied if not for the sake of
esthetic pleasure, 40 least in the interest of
scientific knowledge. Yet there is scarce
ly department in the history or phiioso-
ply of music concerning which the infor-
nation To be found in the hooks is So UNI
satisfactory as that OF Chinese music.
Even historian of the tb0roughuess and
profundity of Andres after devoting
many pages to an attempt to educate the
Chinese theory, seems willing to believe
the FIRST traveller who sets down th modern
practice of the art as nothing but crude,
barbaric, unregui8ted noise Crude. bar
barbarir, and noise, Chinese music certain
w is, but not unro gulated Even the little
music which can be heard on any holiday
in the Chinese quarters of New York will
serve TO disclose to a discriminative ear
that it is nothing if not methodical. The
hard part of the historians has been that
they have never come in contact with the
Chinese. and therefore hcve had to depend
on the descriptions of travellers and mis-
sionaries touching the practical side Of the
art. Correctly to apprehend music how
ever, requires special qualifications of
education and natural gifts, these have
been possessed by so small q linority Of
those who have written about China that
they are scarcely worth mentioning

Had No Defense.

When, some months ago, the
KEYSTONE took occasion to remind
Secretary Of State Pinkham that the
laws of the last session had not
been published and that it was his
duty to the public to have them
published, having no defense to
offer for his laches, he resorted to
the folly of personal abuse of the
editor of this paper. By this act
he made it our pleasure, as it was
already our duty, to look a little
into the general conduct of his Off
cial affairs, and we have found there
enough to relieve us of any neces-
sity of repaying him with abuse.
His official conduct not only con-
dennis him before the respectable
people of the state, but is so abhor-
rent to right-minded men as to call
for rebuke from the best and ablest
papers in his party. AS Joe Pink
ham said about the party, the Off
Gals are in a "bad shape" when
they and their acts are openly con-
demned, repudiated and despised
by the brightest and strongest pa
pers of their own party.
