Although the entire power of Germany consists at present in bayonets and unity which is highly detrimental to civiliza- tion, must yet say that in my opinion the Germans are the most musical nation in the world. l calculate for example that among the Germans 50 per cent, among the French 16 per cent. and among the English only ? per cent. are capable of appreciating music. In this respect, the English rank even lower than the Americans. The English neither feel nor understand music. A true ap- preciation of the greatest musical com position is found only in Germany. The trouble is art is sacrificed for money. When l was in America last, delivered myself by contract into the hands of an impressario. That is factory work. I soon began to despise myself and my art. Frequently had to play twice and three times in one day.-[ Rubinstein.

The trouble with women is they want the privileges of both sexes. The day they were admitted into the factory to work side by side with men at equal wages, that day they lost their right to a seat in the crowded horse cars. If they are going to take the feminine role, be dependent and soft and winning ,and gain their privileges by their charms, they have right to insist on the best places and to look offended if men do not yield to them. But if they demand the same principles that govern men, the same work, opportunity, education, training, they must not crowd into the boats and leave the men to die in the sinking ship; 1; drive on the back seats, take the best bits of the turkey, the most comfortable chair. One cannot expect boys to be knights unless girls are ladies, in the sense that knight is Il defender and a lady d person who is to be sheltered and cared for. Which is the honorable atti- tude, that of equality in every respect, a square game, no privilege to either par ty, is not the question, or it is question that will not be answered in this column. It is only suggested that nobody can play both roles, that of man and woman combined, and play fair.-[ The Cour- ants Observer.

POWERFUL OBJECT LESSON.


The Chicago Herald hits the nail
squarely on the head when 1t says that
"the rioting in the Pennsylvania iron
mills, where Pinkerton detectives, en-
ployed by Andrew Carnegie and strik
ing workingmen, late in Carnegie's EN-.
ploy, are shooting each other to death,
will not be without its lesson in the
pending political campaign. The ad-
vocates of the protective system must
explain how it is that the owners of
iron mills, the chief beneficiaries of
protection, refuse to pay their working
men living wages.
at is remarkable that the iron indus
try, which derives more benefit than
any other of the industries for which
the protective tariff was especially de-
signed, is practically the only one which
insists on reducing the wages of its op.
eratives. Many manufacturers who are
almost, If not entirely without protec-
tion, are not demanding reduction of
the wage scales. They are maintaining
the prices of labor, while the pampered
pets of protection seek to lower them.
"The iron mills have not been opera
ting at loss. Men like Carnegie have
been reaping the benefits of the bount-
les bestowed by Republican Congress,
under the false pretense of protecting
American labor"

Why should the champion of Proctec'
tion wander Off to the wllds OF. Missouri,
when his services are in such pressing
demand nearer home-at Homestead,
for instance. Homestead Is alldevOted
to protected industries, and even the
works are protected by twelve foot
high fence, with a barbed wire on top,
charged with a deadly current. Mr.
Carnegie owns Homestead, and MI
Carnegie is one of the Majors dearest
and best friends. He gave $4,000 last
year to elect the Major Governor OF
Ohio; all for Protection. III the Major
will 90 down to Homestead now hecar

tiyes with Winchesters to give the

BRIGHT PROSPECTS IN NEW YORK.

1t is apparent to the most casual OBJ
server and student of contemporary
politics, that New York state will go
Democratic this fall by one of the larg-
est pluralities ever rolled up there in o
Presidential election. The fact that
Cleveland Is stronger in the Empire
state today than he ever was before can
not be denied consistently. He Is much
stronger than his party, and his strength
is increasing all the time.
A tidal wave of Clevelandism set in
Immediately after the adjournment OF
the Chicago convention, and 1t is now
sweeping everything before it from
Buffalo to the Harlem river. All fac.
tional feeling has been done away with
and is a thing of the past. Senator Hill
has gracefully bowed to the will of his
party, aud his friends will work just as
hard for Cleveland as they would have
worked for him. Tammany Hall is
also in touch with the party and the
leaders throughout the interior of the
state. Taken altogether, the situation
from Democratic standpoint could
not be more gratifying nor the outlook
more hopeful
On the other hand the Republican
party in New Y ork is in chaotic state
and is fearfully demoralized, disorgan-
| lied and disrupted. 1t hasn't yet re-
covered from the crushing defeat 1t
sustained in the gubernatorial election
last November, and there Is no pros
pect of it getting its second wind in
time for anything like winning fight
| this fall. The leaders and hard work
ers are not pulling together and many
] of them are intriguing against the
President. This is particularly true of
the rabid Blaine men who went to
| Minneapolis under the leadership OF
| PlatU and Fassett. They are ostensibly
| for the ticket, of course, bat their en-
| thusiasm is of very mild constituency.
| They appreciate the fact. too, that II
| Harrison is reelected their wishes
would not be consulted in reference to
the distribution of patronage, and with
| that great Republican incentive elimin.
| ated from the battle their support of
| the President will be weak indeed.
Furthermore, large numbers OF Re-
publicans throughout the state are dis
| satisfied and lukewarm over the failure
of the Mckinley bill to bring increased
prosperity to the farmer, the merchant,
and the mechanic. Instead of being
a boon to them it proved a curse and
| they will not vote TO return the party
| to power that was responsible for its
| enactment. New York will redeem
herself in November and make amends
| for the mistake made in 1888.

- TWO MILLIONS A YEAR.


Andrew Carnegie, that great and
good Republican, multi.millionaire and
apostle of protection for himself, boast
ed in an interview last April that about
twenty years ago he commenced put
ting away two millions each year for
a rainy day, and QnferentiallY) that he
had been equally frugal in recent
years.
He said "In the '70J 1 commenced
making money at the rate of 100000
a year, and am now worth between
S30,0O0O00 and 100000. 1t isn't the
man who does the work that makes
the money, but it's the man who gets
other men to do it,"
In contemplation of the above it is
no wonder that Carnegie is a protec-
ZIONIST and no wonder that he can and
does give immense sums to carry on
Republican campaigns. He can well
afford to do so in view of the fact that
the policy ofthe Republican party en-
ables him to enrich himself at the eX.
pense of his workmen in particular and
the public at large in general.
This is what protection does for Car
negie. The telegraphic reports from
Homestead show what it does for the
workingmen.
