MUSICAL PEOPLE have long been
credited with being somewhat queerer
than common folks, although kind
critics designate this quality as the
eccentricities of genius, or the sensi-
tive soul Of the artist. But the quality,
by whatever name it is known, is much
the same in the greater and lesser lights
alike, and those who have most to do
with musicians find them difficult
studies in human nature. The Worlds
Fair managers have been having ex-
periences with their musicians. Pad
reweski, the great Russian pianist, who
has been captivating American audien-
ces for some time, accepted an invita-
tion to play, without compensation, at
the opening concerts of the Fair, and
for one whose receipts for a single
night, amount to thousands of dollars,
this was no small consideration. Pad
reweski always plays on his own piano,
which is Steinway. But the mana
gers of the Fair had decided that no
instrument of any kind should be
admitted to the Fair, whose manufac-
lures did not have an exhibit there, and
as the Steinways have no exhibit,
Padreweski and his piano are ruled out,
for he DOsitiyely refuses to use any.
other instrument. The managers may
have as many eccentricities as the
musicians, but, in this instance, they
cannot be accused of having the artists
soul.

A PERMANENT FAIR.

1t may be that there will be per-
manence given to several features of
the worlds fair. Krupp will not care
to take his great gun away after the
show is over, and has already declared
his intention of giving il to Chicago.
If it were known that the city would
retain some of the buildings and make
of them a sort of museum for the
worlds best productions, it is probable
that a great many of the exhibitors
would leave tokens of their stay, some
from pure generosity, others for an
advertising purpose, some to forward
the progress of human knowledge, and
some because it will be cheaper to leave
things than to take them away.
The opportunity being given the city,
Chicago will be backward, indeed, not
to take it for all it is worth. Such a
museum would be one of the wonders
of the city, and every visitor would
feel it a duty to pay it visit before
departing. And it would itself be an
attraction for those residing in other
cities. The museum, properly con-
Quoted, could easily be a source of
much information to Americans.
There is no reason why it might not be
a perpetual fair on small scale, with
renewed exhibits from time to time.
Not the least among its memories
would be its own origin, that of the
great celebration of the present time.

THE Wyoming legislature, with the
approval of the governor of that new
state. sends eastward recommends
tion that Women be allowed to vote.
Wyoming practices what it breaches.
For twenty-five years women have been
enfranchised in that state, and every
body there seems glad of it and wants
his neighbors and fellow countrymen
to do likewise. The legislative resolu-
tion pronounces this suffrage a good
thing, that it has almost banished
crime, pauperism and vice, rendered the
elections peaceful and orderly and ad-
vaneed civilization generally. 1t is
claimed that there is not a poor house
in any county and that the jails are
nearly depopul4ted and, if strangers
coming into the state did not commit
crime, it would be almost unknown.
We must take such accounts with a
certain degree of allowance, but it is
probable that the searcher after results
would find much to repay stay in
Wyoming.

THE QUEBEC DEPOPULUTION.
Ia - 49,. r..nl1 rnid fhaf nrantinS

THE QUEBEC DEPOPULUTIoN.
1t has been well said that practical
annexation of Canada to the United
States will be only question OF time
because the people will emigrate over
the border to the States till in sheer
self defense the land will be given up
to the stars and stripes.
A Montreal paper has long account
of the rush of French Canadians from
the province Of Quebec to the New
England States. Its correspondents
who have been investigating the mat
ter report that in truth the exodus IS
great, promising to. reach 10000 a
month during April, May OF June.
This is no sudden outgo due to tem-
porary causes, but is condition whose
force is of the culminative kind. Next
year it is probable that the exodus will
be greater. This is despite the most
strenuous efforts made to check IL on
the part cf the church and civic COM
mands, intfigues, appeals and diversion
schemes.
This drain upon the Dominion is
vital. The life blood is being drawn
out. Emigration Of this kind is final.
None ever return except in the shape
of visitors to relatives and friends
whom they would like to induce to leave
their barren heritages and seek, with
them, the fields and pastures new.
These French Canadians would
probably, the majority of them, stay
where they were born if they could do
SO and live. The trend of prices is
against them. What they raise is not
sufficient to keep them, because they
would sell it at a low price, and when
they turn around to buy, everything is
high. Then, the taxes they have to
pay are very high. Thus they are
forced to look elswhere for situations
that will afford them decent existence
When they receive visits from their
relatives and friends who have lived in
New England, and learn their accounts
Of the opportunities there, and when
frequent remittances prove to them
that money can be earned and spared
in the northeastern states, what won
der that they betake themselves there
at the first oppoutunityp And how
long will it be before this part of Can
ada is thus depopulated of its able
bodied residents?
The idea of ex-Premier Mercier is to
make Quebec first an independent
province, and second an American
state. This would effectualy stop the
exodus by removing the causes that
lead to it. With Quebec one of the
United States, the taxes would in
stantly go down, new markets would
open to the farmer, his money would go
farther and there would be more of it.
The farms would appreciate in value,
and the benef ACQUIRING would affect
everything that is now languishing.
Quebec is tied SO lightly to the Do
minion and to Great Britain by SYM
Iathy, that at any time she may drift
away.

WORD comes from Chicago that the
sleeping car companies will have their
hands full in looking after the traffic
from the east. 1t is said that people
who like to be forehanded have already
engaged sleepers at such a rate that the

Just what this means, if it means any
thing as regards local travel, is not yet
clear. The story may be device to
hurry people, but any one may test its
accuracy by apply ing for accommoda-
tions from the sleeping car companies.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, May /, -1893.-Gen.
Harrison must smile when he reads of
Democrats claiming credit for the
administration for its financial policy.
The administration has no financial
policy, or if it has the public has not
been taken into its confidence. In
using a part of the gold reserve fund
to redeem Treasury notes it has but
followed the policy laid down by Presi-
dent Harrison and Secretary Foster,
and while it deserves credit for having
been sensible enough to have followed
the Republican plan of dealing with
the gold problem it should not be
credited with having originated that
policy. In fact it has as yet originated
no policy on any subject, unless the
sending of Mr.. Blount to Hawaii to
lower the American flag can be digni-
fed by the name Of policy.
Ex- Secretary Rusk was voluntary
witness on Saturday in the investiga-
tion of the Weather Bureau. He was
questioned in regard to several appoint
ments made by him, and stated that he
considered them good and proper ap-
pointments and would make them again
if he we're Secretary. And as one of
the ladies he appointed for temporary
duty has since received regular az
pointm ment from Secretary Morton it
looks as though "Uncle Jerry" was

The Democratic Commissioner of
Pensions goes on duty this week, and

is SO highly spoken of by those familiar
with him during and since the war that
it seems only fair to do this.
Only very few office. seekers re-
mained in Washington after the de-
parture of the President and his cabi-
net-they probably found it cheaper to
put in the time waiting for the return
of the administration ewhere-but
there were some very mad men among
those who did stay, because of the fact
that five of the government depart
ments were left in charge of Republi-
cans while hungry Democrats howled
for the places of these very Republi-
cans. However, the Republic ms left
in charge of those departments did not
attempt to revolutionize the govern
ment or to put any of the department

away; but that some of them did enjoy

kicking Office seekers. who made ex.
hibition of themselves and their disap.
pointments in public places, your cor.

there were political parties more zeal
Gus than the old party warehouses, and
Secretary Gresham has proven that he
is no exception to the rule. He has
made more changes in the important
positions in the State Department than
have been made in any other depar'-

striking is that it has been an unwritten
rule of that department since it was
established that no changes should take
