BAGPIPE MUSIC.
TaorIuath. Taoriath Mach, Crunlaath,
Crunluath Breabach, Etc.

Crunluath Breabach, Etc.
Though now associated with Scot
land, the bagpipe is an instrument
of great antiquity, and was known
long ago to some Indian races, also
to the Italians and Bretons. It ap-
pears to have reached its most pop
ular development from the musical
and utilitarian view in the case Of
the Highland bagpipe.
The ground work of the instru-
ment is, as the name implies, bag
of skins, sewed together and, Of
course, perfectly alright. This con-
dition is aided by the use of treacle,
which is poured into the bag and al
lowed to soak well into it.
Into the bag are fitted five wooden
stocks, generally of crocus or ebony.
These stocks in their turn hold the
three drones, the chanter and the
mouthpiece-the chanter being per-
forated by the note holes, while the
mouthpiece is used for filing the bag.
Each of the drone pipes, and the
chanter, is fitted with reeds made of
Spanish cane. contrary to the gener-
al impression, which imagines the
chanter to be kind of flute, and the
drones hollow sticks.
Bagpipe music has fixed scale,
and the treble, or G clef, is the only
one used. The great difficulty of
playing, however, is to obtain the
doubling of the notes at once quick
ly and clearly. This profusion of
double or grace notes, as they are
called, makes the manuscript of bag
pipe music look something like a
document flched from the British
museum.
To the Sassenach such words as
Taorluath, Taorlath Mach, Crun-
laath, Crunluath Breabach, look
very ominous; but being interpreted.
they are simply methods of doubling
and trebling the notes.
It can hardly be denied that the
above terms, although they might
be called iaw-breakers, look much
more imposing than the Italian ex
pressions which figure so largely il
pianoforte practices. - Chambers

PROHIBITION AND THE CLERGY.

The action of the clergy at Perry is
source of considerable annoyance to
the republican machine. 1t is reported
that the clergymen of other denomin-
atoms have taken up the cause and
from this time until June 6, there will
be the greatest possible pressure
brought to bear upon the republican
party delegates to recognize prohibition
as a tenet of party feality.
The party owes this 70 the clergy in
compensation for labor performed. In
1884 when the republican party was
attempting to ''redeem" the state from
the anti-prohibitionists, they induced
almost every clergyman in the state to
enter his pulpit on the Sabbath before
the election and substitute John A.
Martin and the republican party cruel
fed for the usual subject of discourse.
The clergy preached political sermons
at the request of the chairman of the
upon assurances that prohibition should
be maintained.
This year the church asks the party
| to reafirm its adherence to the Murray
law and its strict enforcement. 1t de-
mands frank avowal that the party
will take no backward steps in the
cause of prohibitory enactments. The
machine threatens to repudiate its
record and to cater to the saloon vote
of the state as it did in Iowa.
Had the party not pledged itself to
these clergymen in 1884 it could reject
their advice this year without betraying
faith, but under the circumstances it
must be guilty of the grossest ingrati-
tude and the basest indirection if it
straddles the issue which Is thought of
vital Importance to the churches.
Reports indicate that some thirty
thousand votes hinge upon the nature
of the platform adopted. If prohibition
IS recognized the saloon element will
bolt. If it is ignored at least 10000
church members will bolt. In the
first case the ballots will be thrown for
the party that boldly advocates resub-
mission; in the second the third party
prohibitionists will join the boiling
voters.
| The republican machine has got to
canvass the situation and determine
which element it will repudiate. Meth
er side will stand straddle. An at
tempt to reconcile both elements with
meaningless platitudes will cause bad
double loss. The managers are aware
of this and it is generally conceded
that they will not attempt to hold both.
Their only hope is that the populists
will make the same blunder that they
are bound to commit. There are
many advocates of female suffrage il
the populist ranks as there are pro.
hibitionists among republicans. Popu-
lists will have the suffrage plank to
settle, while republicans must deal
with prohibition. Republicans hope to
Offset their owl embarrassment by the
difficulty which threatens the populists.
Populists can ignore both prohibition
and female suffrage because they have
meyer pledged themselves to either,
while republicans must be guilty of bad
faith if they cut the threats of the cler.
gy. The situation is interesting and
the outcome will be clearly analysed
and fully understood.-T Press.

No MAN should be sent to the legis-
lature from Barton county this fall
who is not pledged, beyond possibility
OF doubt, to vote for reduction of
Kansas freight rates. The question of
lower freight rates is of vastly more
importance to Barton county farm ers
than is the question of who shall con-
troll the state legislature or hold the
state offices. We sincerely hope than
no mistake be made in this direction,
and that it be made impossible for any
man to be elected who will not work
for an adjustment of freight rates in
Kansas. Select men who have the
ability to make a winning fight for
what they demand, and also men who
cannot be influenced by the railroads.

DEMOCRATS OF Barton county should
not borrow any trouble over the local

so that it will be an easy victory for
good men on democratic ticket in
Barton county this fall.

FROM the proceedings of the county
central committee meeting, to be found
elsewhere in this paper, it will be seen
that the committee is called to meet on
June 18th to select five delegates each
to the state and congressional conven-
lions. We believe it was a wise move
of the committee to not hold two dele
gate conventions this fail. 1t would
have been asking too much of farmers
to leave their work and come in to hold
a convention any time before the Sd of
July for the purpose only of selecting
ten delegates. The county convention,
to nominate democrats for county
Office, being called for August 18th will
be after the rush of harvest is over,
and will not bind our can didates to a
long and tedious campaign. All the
democratic voters of the county ask is
that they be given good, competent
democratic candidates to vote for-they
will do the rest; and it will not require
three or four months time for them to
decide about it. The state convention
| will meet July Sd and nominate dem
oeratic ticket. and the congressional
convention August 9Th will do the
same; the issues of all parties in Kansas
will be well defined, and Barton county
democrats will then come together on
August 25th and place their county
candidates in the field to win. Demo
Gratis will make no pledges to, or pay
any attention to the candidates on the
republican or populist tickets; they will
"saw wood" until the time comes for
them to nominate their own candidates
and let the pops and reps fight among
] themselves.

City Yesterday.

The Accidents Reported FROM AUOuS INV
City Yesterday
Patrick Miles, aged 65, living at the
head of Wood street and known all over
the CITY, is at his home in dangerous
condition as the result OF an accident.
Mr.. Miles is little dull Of hearing,
and last Tuesday afternoon was stand
ing on the Wheeling aud Elm Grove
Railroad tracks near the Central Glass
Works. The inbound o'clock motor
was coming toward him at its usual rate
of speed. The old man was look
ing the other way and did not
hear or see it. The engineer
could not get his engine under control
before striking the old gentleman. He
was struck aud hurled TO the b. 81 o.
tracks a distance of sixteen feet. He
was carried to his home, and two physl-
clans were soon at his bedside. The
old man was no better yesterday, and
the physicians expressed the fear that
the injuries would prove fatal, owing
to Mr.. Miles's advanced age. No bones
were broken, but there were evident
internal injuries.
Quite a dangerous accident occurred
at Bridgeport yesterday evening about
) o'clock. Thomas Jenkins, an, old gem
tleman 70 years of age, from Sharon,
Pa. had a very narrow escape. he was
looking at the new opera house build
ing and stepped on board which was
placed across an opening over the eel
lar. The board gave way and be was
precipltated to the bottom OF the cell
lar, distance Of about ten feet. A
severe scalp wound was inflicted, run
ming diagonally across the back OF his
head. He was taken to Squire How
els office, where Dr. Fisher dressed the
wound, which will not likely prove very
serious. He was badly dazed by the
fail, but came around all right within a
half hour. He had been in town on
