Chinese Music.

The musical art of people who rep
resent one-fifth of the earth's popula-
ton ought to be studied if not for the
sake of esthetic pleasure, at least in the
interest of scientific knowledge. Yet
there is scarcely department in the
history or philosophy of music concern
ing which the information to be found
in the books is so unsatisfactory as that
of Chinese music Even historian of
the thoroughness and profundity of
Ambros, after devoting many pages to
an attempt to elucidate the Chinese
theory, seems willing to believe the first
traveller who sets down the modern
practice of the art as nothing but crude,
barbaric, unregulated noise. Crude,
barbaric and noisy Chinese music GER
tainly is, but not unregulated.
Even the little music which can be
heard on any holiday in the Chinese
quarter of New York will serve to dis
close to a discriminating ear that it is
nothing if not methodical. The diff
Guilty on the part of the historians has
been that they have never come il
contact with the Chinese, and there
fore have had to depend on the de
scriptions of travellers and missionaries
touching the practical side of the art.
Correctly to apprehend music, how
ever, requires special qualifications OF
education and natural gifts, and these
have been possessed by SO small a mi
nority of those who have written about
China that they are scarcely worth

Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter,
at a distance of about $50, 600, 600 miles
from the sun, there revolves some 265
little bodies whose diameters vary from
8 or 10 miles to 200. Whether they are,
as Professor Young once described them,
parts 'of planet spoiled in the making
or not is unknown, and perhaps may never
be solved. But certain it is that there are
almost numberless little celestial bodies
of this character, whose revolutions
around the sun are performed as uner-
ringly as those of the larger planets. They
are called plauetoids, from two Greek
words, which mean resembling planet
or wanderer.-Public Opinion.

THAT OUTRAGE.

The Kansas COmmOneT, one of lead
ing papers of that State, and which is
published at Wichita, quotes two of
the malicious falsehoods sent out from
there, and commenting On them, has
the following to say of President
Folks speech there:
"In order that thirty thousand
men could own over half the entire
wealth of the Nation " it has been nee
essary to feed the wealth-producers on
such falsehOOds as the above, but it
does not work as we'll as it used to, as
the crowd who veal a partisan-mOney
power collar is getting small in Kan
sas. Col. L. l.. Polk was treated in
Wichita by all with the utmost respect,
friendship and kindness and he re
marked that The would give fifty dol
lars if he could have had his voice in
good condition and been able physical
ly to have addressed the vast and at
tentive audience that greeted him at
the opera house." He felt hOnOred by
his reception and treatment while in

A MISUNDERSTANDING.

Week before last DR., Caldwell, of the
Landmarks, stated in substance that
the Richmond e Danville Railroad
would not be so badly pressed for
money if the reform editors and officers
of the National Alliance had been pay
ing their fares instead of riding around
on free passes. Last week THE PRO
GREssIvE FARMER said that DR.. Cald
well had better explain why he changed
his base on the free coinage of silver
instead of "apologizing" for the rail
road. DR.. Caldwell evidently thought
we had reference to the recent wreck
at Bostian's Bridge when we said he
was "apologizing" for the railroad.
In this he was mistaken. We knew
his theory of the cause of the wreck
was exactly opposite to that advanced
by the railroad officials. The word
''apologizing" was used in connection
with his statement concerning the
finances of the company and had refer
ence to that only. So, Bro. Caldwell
need not get riled on that account, for
we had no intention of limiting that he
was under railroad influence or any

ever before. Let there be one purpose
and common effort in this mighty
struggle to rescue the country and our
government from the iron grasp of
monopoly.
~ The KinstOn Free Press wants to
know who the bosses of the Democratic
party are. Bro. Herbert, is it possible
that you have been a Democrat so long
and don't know who the bosses are?
That is an admission that we don't
care to make. though we know we are
very green.
* In answer to the Landmarks
query will say that neither the editor
and proprietor of THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER nor anyone connected with
it owns a pass on any railroad on ac-
count of the paper at this time, nor
have we since we quit publishing the
schedules nearly a year ago. Next,
