The Congressional Appropriations.

ga thousand millions in two years
is, in round numbers, what the Re
publican majority has spent. The
excess over the spending of the pre-
vious Democratic] congress is, in
round numbers, $2OO,OOO,OOO, or 25
per cent. For every 81 voted by the
Democratic congress SIS has been
voted by the Republicans. Nor can
this be laid chiefly to pensions, which
take only 80 per cent. of the excess
1t is due not SO much to any small
number of great jobs as to reckless
extravaganza in every direction y
Thus remarks The New York Times
(Dem.)
Of this excess of about $19O,OOO,-
900, the sum of Sal 100000 inround
numbers was to make up the excess
of the average deficiency, caused by
the failure of the Democratic congress
to vote money enough for the neces-
sary expenses of government. For
pensions, $40, 100000; for the neces-
sary improvement and extension of
the postal service, 100000 Ia
part of which will be returned in the
increased receipts of the postal SER
vice.; for the navy, $14, 100000, an
increase advocated by every Demo-
cratic paper in the country; for forti-
fications, $4,000, 900, urged by every
Democratic paper on the Atlantic
coast; for the Indians, $1,000, 900,
which increase has been demanded by
the entire press of the country; for
the "Sundry Civil" appropriation,
$4,000, 900, which includes the long
delayed and absolutely necessary ap-
propria tions for some of the govern
ment buildings, such as the Milwau-
kee postoffice. These items cover
about SO per cent. of the increase.
For all of these appropriations ex-
cept for pensions, the Democratic
members of congress voted with the
Republicans, and they were not con-
sidered party measures. For the pen
sion legislation the Republicans are
willing to akefullresponsibility. For
the rest, the fact that the Democratic
members urged a full share of them,
that at least Sal, 100000 more than
usual to cover deficiencies was abso-
lutely demanded, and that the charges
OF extravaganza are made without
specifications except in the case of
pensions, will enable the last congress
to bear up under the disapproval of
partisan newspapers.-Mil aoaukee Sen

Tin Plate Mills.

The Ohio Valley Manufacturer of
February 9Th is authority for the in
formation that cat the beginning of
January the establishments already
built and building have capacity of
over 100000 boxes of tin plate per
week, Or over 100000 boxes per
year. AS the country needs about s.
100000 boxes a year, it will be seen
that American manufacturers pro-
pose to work on no insignificant
scale. British writer's assert that
even under the most favorable cir
cumstances, it will be ten years at
least before the United States pro-
duction can seriously interfere with

sIGNoR ERRANI's VIEWS.

Inext sought the opinion of probably the
most prominent aud popular vocal teacher
in New York, Signor Achille Erraui, who
was for twenty years a successful singer in
Italian opera at Milan and in this country.
W hen Patti first sang "Traviatan ia
America Errani was her tenor.
The room in the Twenty-sxth street
house in which Signor Errani greeted me is
lined with portraits and souvenirs. Among
the portraits is that Of Minnie Hauk, who
was Errani's first pupil.
ut Is certainly very important" said the
OK tenor and distinguished teacher, ''that
the judgment on the capabilities and eu-
dowments of a musical beginner should be
carefully and frankly given. No teacher
who values his reputation would give false
Judgment on pupils ear or voice. You
can't blame parents for their Willingness
and eagerness TO develop their childrens
talents, or to develop what they believe TO
be their talents. Their mistake, If they
make one, is pardonable. The mistake OF
the teacher who is asked for bis Judgment
is objectionable"
How do you test the cara" asked.
Without answering directly Signor Err
rani said:
There are three things to be decided in
the case of one who wishes to be a singer.
First, the voice-has he or she the physical
qualification Second, has he or she the
eara Has the owner of the voice the sense
that we call an ear for music9 Third, has
he or she musical organizationl
"The voice and the ear are readily tested
by the sounding of piano note or phrase
which the pupil Is asked to repeat For in
stance" land Signor Errani stood behind the
piano and struck note somewhere in the
upper part Of the middle register Sound

tried again.
Fright. Your ear is correctn
This was Forthcoming for.
Now" went on Signor Errapi, coming
from behind the piano, you may see that
SO far as the process is concerned. the ascer-
tainment OF the ear Is quite simple. In the
case OF the instrument the process would be
reversed. The instructor would sound a
vocal note and ask the pupil to find it on the
piano. With the violin it would be less EASY
to test the ear In short trial, but in any
case the resdlness of good ear could be-
found with more or less readiness"
Signor Errani said that in his opinion
children's voices should be trained with
greater care than was ordinarily considered
necessary. 1t was not only true that an
unwise and inexperienced teacher could
permanently ruin a voice, but even the
most cautious training was dangerous at
very tender age. Signor Errani did not
think pupils should have their voices
trained for singing before they were 10.
save in the lightsst chorus work, perhaps.
Instrumental training, which did not tax
the physique, might naturally begin much
earlier without danger. VICTOR SIMS.

1T certainly is. In the case Of a voice

brief passage-a few notes-and ask the
pupil to follow. A few such trials of the
voice will indicate beyond doubt whether a
beginner has the necessary foundation of a
true ear.

NEW York, Dec 5.-Musical study is 80
universal among Americans that anything
bearing upon the subject In any degree may
be said to have in particular sense a popu
lar interest. Music is chosen for an accom-
plishment, when languages, athletics, art
and kindred studies are subordinate or ig-
nored. 1t is, indeed, the most popular of
all accomplishments. 1t is also
the accomplishment in regard TO which
more misconceptions exist and in the his
tory OF which more illusions are shattered
than any other that might be named.
No one who has watched musical students,
whether they be one-course dabbers or pas
sionately serious labOrers III the schools on
both sides of the Atlantic, has failed to note
the distressing number Of cases in which
the singer or player lacks not merely gen.
eral talent but the primary necessity

music who were drawn to it by INCLINATION
there would still be many deluded aspirants.

hour their voice. modulated by every trick

As there has been so much said by
the Democrats condemning the actions
OF Speaker Reed and the Republicans
in regard to the cloture, wish to call
your attention to the actions OF the
Democrats In the Twenty-hfth Con-
gress, 1899, as stated by Goodrich In
his history OF the United States, one
hundredth edition.
Here are the proceedings as stated:
On the 25th of December the question
was taken on resolution to admins
ter the oath to five gentlemen from
New Jersey, who had presented creden-
tials to the Speaker and demanded to
be sworn in; and It was decided In the
negative, l16 to 112. This decision
created great sensation throughout
the Union. II was wide departure
from precedent, and deeply wounding
to the pride of New Jersey. On the
2Sth OF February, the House directed
the committee to report forthwith
which five OF the ten individuals re-
ceived the highest number OF lawful
votes.
This committee reported in favor OF
the five administration candidates. A
minority report was ordered to lie on
the table. On the 10th OF March a
resolution was introduced by Mr.. Pet
rikin, declaring the five persons who
I had brought no legal certificates en-
titled to their seats and directing the
speaker to qualify them. The previous
question being moved by the author
of the resolution (now for the fun. de-
bate was suppressed) and the vote
taken, and the resolution adopted by
a vote OF Ill to 81, several Wing mem
beIs refusing to vote. II that was not
