Music and Nationality.

Reginald de Rowan concluded an article
IN the New York World Oh the "Relation
Between Music and Nationality as fol-
lows: France to-dayis the center of the
art-produclng world. That she is so is
due largely TO the fact that the French
people would rather hear French music
see French pictures and statuary and go
TO the theater to hear French plavs-
meaning In each instance works of
trenchmen-than those of any other
nationality. SHcha national confidence
III the national ability is undoubtedly an
incentive and stimulus to artistic effort
Perhaps this is what music in this conn
try most needs to-day. When once we
are willing to admit, as do the French in
regard TO themselves, that the work of
Americans Is and can be OF itself good
and worthy, and if equal TO the works of
others, judging by similar standard of
excellence, should be preferred to them.
we shall then stand better chance as a
nation than we do to-day of having a
musical art In this country which shall
be distinctly national, because supported
by national confidence and pride. Critics
have long denied the existence of condi-
tlons, founded on arbitrary conventions,
which according to them would render
the existence OF an American school of
music possibility; why, it is a little
hard to see.
III oNeIy QUIET DrdDcn OF science. art
and industry save music, we have as a
nation equaled if not surpassed the
achievements of other peoples, aud the
very variety Of the elements which are
now forming the American Nation would
argue IN favor Of the possibility of the de-
velopment of school of music which.
by uniting the characteristics of MANY
peoples, might in time develop into some
thing broader, stronger, fresher and more
spontaneous than anything the world has
seen hitherto. As people to-day we
have an eminently original inventive and
constructive faculty; this is strongly
marked; and when the rapid, civilizing.
developing processes which we are un-
dergoing at the present time shall have
given us more leisure and shall have
broadened our perceptions to the extent
OF enabling US to see in the cultivation of
the arts one OF the noblest fields for the
exercise OF human energy, we may yet
see the American composer take place
in the world of music commensurate
with the position that other workers i'm
this country have already attained"

"THEN AND NOW.,
Two Pictures Which Have Created
Sensation in New York.

Two Pictures Which Have Created a
Sensation in New York.
New YORK, Jan. 6.-Some sensation
has been caused by two pictures printed
prominently in the last Natt and Express,
one representing three cells i'll the Tombs
Prison, with Stokes, the murderer of
Fiske John j. Scanned, the murderer OF
friend and recently appointed Fire
Commissioner by Mayor Giiroy; and
Croker, the murderer OF a political oppo-
nent, and now the Tammany boss, as
prisoners. The three were thus confined
in 1872 at the same time on charges OF
murder, and have been close friends ever
since. The other picture represents
Scanned receiving the appointment from
Gilroy. The heading over the picture is
"Then and Now" Stokes is introduced
into the matter as the present financial
backer of many Tammany men.

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Quarantine Bill Discussed in the
Senate.

The Quarantine Bill Discussed in the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-In the Senate
HilPs resolution of yesterday as to the
immigration bill was passed. The quar-
antine was then taken up and discussed
till on motion of Sherman the Senate
went into executive session. When the
doors were re-opened the consideration
of the quarantine bill was resumed.
Chandler (Republican) spoke about
three hours, devoting most of his argu-
ment to the bill to suspend immigration,
which measure he favored.
Arguments against the quarantine bill
were made by Mcpherson (Democrat) OF
New Jersey and Platt Republican, of
Connecticut, Mills (Democrat) of Texas.
and Dolph (Republican) of Oregon.
Many amendments were offered, some of
which were agreed to, the others going
over till tomorrow, when the bill comes
up as a special order.
In the course of his speech Chandler
spoke of the inconsistency of admitting
$40 immigrants and excluding self-sup-
porting, industrious men under the labor
contract law. Referring to the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company, Mr..
Chandler said it was the favorite of the
Secretary of the Treasury, Assistant
Treasurer, Commissioner of Immigration
and other Treasury officials when they
60 abroad, and it always had been very
kind to them. 1t had always, he said,
given them the very best accommoda-
tions, and if they got short of money
while on the other side and Congress had
been negligent about providing means
for their support over there, it loaned
them money. He invoked the assistance
of the North German Lloyds to carry out
the provisions not to bring 1900 passen-
gers on one steamer and he invoked, in
all sincerity, the press of the country to
aid him in the great work of beneficence
and humanity.
After further argument the bill was
modified in some particulars and ordered
printed.
Adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-In the House
the attendance was so small that nothing
but private business was attempted.
Finally quorum was secured, and
about twenty-five private pension bills
passed and the House adjourned.

OF his head and neck and the stiffness of

muscles OF the neck not being, by flexing,

THEY NEVER GET SOBER
The Atnu, Living insJapan, Are Drunl
from Childhood to Death.

"Did you know that there was an entire
race of people who are never sober?"
asked Captain William P. Gaines of a
Globe Democrat man. well, it's fact.
There is in the world to-day an entire
race of people who regard sobriety as a
calamity and drunkenness as an acme of
bliss. These people are called the Ainu,
and inhabit the northern islands of Japan.
They were the aborigines Of Japan, but
were crowded northward by the present
inhabitants until they have reached the
'iumping-off place. much as our In
dams have been driven into the setting
sun by the aggressive white man. And
they are jumping off, too, at an alarming
rate. They must have numbered several
millions at one time, but now cannot
count 10000. They are q small, hairy,
half-civilized people of low order of in
telligence and the filthiest on the face of
the earth. The Japs believe that cleanli-
ness is cousln-germain to godliness, and
are always padding in the water, but the
Ainu never bathe. AT bear feasts and
funerals they make a pretense Of washing
hands and face, but not drop OF water
touches their bodies except by accident.
They have drink called sake. 1t is
enough to cure an American of dipso-
mania, but it will make one drunk, and
is swallowed by the Ainu in enormous
quantities. Men, women and children
appear to be always drunk. [ paid them
several visits while coasting In the east
ern seas, and l never saw a member of
the race who could be accused of being
reasonably sober"

Day and gave his reason why one of the
new vessels on which the bids were
offered, the battleship Iowa and the
cruiser Brooklyn, should be built on the
Pacific Coast. The bids were opened De-
cember 18th, and some comment has been
caused by the delay of Secretary Tracy
IN awarding the contracts. 1t was the in
tention of the Secretary to award the con-
tracts to-day, but in view of the desire of
the Union Iron Works, one of the bid
ders, to show the necessity for construct
ing one of the vessels on the Pacific Coast,
action was postponed. The impression
prevails that one of the vessels will be
