LITERARY NOTES.


The famous musical composers have
taken hint from their literary breth-
rem, and are securing an advance
magazine publication for their compo-
sitions just as the authors publish their
novels in serial form. The Ladies Home
Journal, which was practically the
first magazine to offer this outlet to
composers of repute, finds all the musi-
cal men rallying to it, Sir Arthur Sui
livan announcing that the new song
which h. has just finished will be pub
lished in that magazine. PATHS veter-
an conductor, Arditi, has given his
new waltz to the Journal, while Regi-
nald de Koven's new song goes also to

Military Education.

The reforms wrought by Napoleon in
the French military schools are well
known. SO also with his views on edu-
cation, which were intensely practical.
He believed in education for purpose.
He used to cross examine individual
officers at reviews or on the field, and
/ If one showed unfamiliarity with diff.
cult mapeuvers, would compel him
to study them under the tutorship of
superior officer.
Merit ruled in promotions. Propos-
ais for promotion or decoration were
submitted by the Minister of War and
revised by him. Often, too. he would
at review pull up in front of a regiment
and call the officers about him, and ask
who in the regiment they judged most
worthy of a reward. Or he would ask
the soldiers the same question. Once
an under officer was thus recommended
to him as bravest and best in certain
regiment. The Colonel, agreeing to
the praise of the man, nevertheless
urged that he could not recomme end
giving commission to the man, who
could neither read nor write.
II appoint him officer, Colonel; you
will have him admitted as such," was
Napoleon s quick response.
Nowadays such a decision would
justly be called an error of judgement.
But those were strange days, and many
apoor fellow rose to be general whose
book learning was painful after
thought.

promised to the people of the country
for period of ten years. This the
Democrats refused to adopt, so their
'popgun' bill and all the rest of the
'popgun bills slept the sleep in which
they knew they would rest. The only
valid act which the House performed
with regard to the trusts has been to
furnish them with almost infinite
wealth, for Mr.. Wilson himself, on the
floor of the House, gave figures which
showed that in all probability the bill
for which he was then voting, and for
which he was demanding votes, and
which he finally carried, will give to
the Suar Trust $12,OOO,OOO this very
year, outside the protection to refining.
PENSIONERS DEFRAUDED,
/ desire to point out to you the fact
that at time when the revenues of
the country are decreasing, when it
has been already necessary to put out
$50, ,OOO,O 900 ofinterest bearing bonds, the
expenditures of the first session of the
Fifty Third Congress, with both houses
under Democratic rule, have exceeded
the expenditures of the first session of
the Fifty First Congress by $27 900, ,0OO
The Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations has endeavored to make
figures which would ind cate that the
first session of the Fifty Third Con-
gress, which was Democratic, was
$50, ,0OO,O more economical than the
second session of the Fifty Second Con-
gress, the House of which was Demo-
cratic alone. But comparison of fig
ures will show that the pensions for
that session of the Fifty Second Con-
gress were S1sO,OOO, 900, while those of
the Fifty Third Congress were $751;
000, 1000, which makes exactly this diff,
ference of $29, 100000. In other words,
they have deprived the pensioners
rather, they have deprived the pension
fundNof $29. .00O, ,0O0-the exact amount
of their claim of economy.

GREAT SPEECH OF REED.
He Takes the Hide Off of De-

Work Of the Fifty Third Congress Re.
viewed-lncapacity Of Democracy
ExpOSed-Silyer Legislation
Tariff Tinkering-The
Sugar Scandal.

Ex-Speaker Thomas b. Reed opened
the Republican campaign in Maine
with speech which called forth the
heartiest applause from the thousands
present Mr., Reeds main effort was
TO prove that "the Democrrtic party
had shown itself incapable of ruling
the country in manner satisfactory
not only to the majority of the people,
but even to the large minority which
helped compose it." He spoke in part
as follows: f.'
In saying that the Democratic party
has shown itself incapable of running
this country in manner satisfactory
not only to the majority of the people,
but to large and respectable minority
which helps compose it, l am not in
dulging in any language of partisan.
ship, but in the language of truth,
known and visible to all who hear me
today. The Northern Democratic party
is, in many respects, like the Republi
can party, composed of men of bust
ness sen Sc and business ability. The
difficulty with the Democratic party
today, as it has been in all past time
is the fact that its great majority re
side in the South. The Southern men
are men of intellectual power, men OF
intelligence and men of learning. The
difficulty with them is that the kind OF
learning which rrises, from thort ugh
knowledge of business as it is carried
on in-the North is entirely lacking.
While the Southern man may have
every opportunity to read in books of
the prosperity which has come to the
North, he has no conception of it, such
as those have who have lived in it. He
is devoted to the theories of bygone
day. His mind is fixed upon principles
which were essential to the prosperity
of his part of the country in the days
before the war. 1t would be great
mistake for the people of the United
States to suppose that the action of the
Senate, SO much blamed by the Demo.
cratic party and so much attacked by
the people of the country in. general,
was TO be deemed entirely the result of
personal feeling. The truth is that the
action of the conservative Senators on
many subjects is the result, not of their
individual opinions but the result of
business interests which surrounded
them. "A Senator from the State of
New Jersey could not be reckless with
the business interests of his constitu-
ency, like Senator from Arkansas:
and even a Senator from Arkansas,
like Mr.. Jones, who has devoted pa.
tience and intelligence to the tariff
question, although not surrounded by
business interests which control him,
was irresistibly borne in the direction
'of the Senate bill as it finally passed
the body. ~. '||..ijI J''f

SILVER REPEAL BILL.

Whatever may have been done by the
people at present in possession of the
Government, every one will admit that
it has been done slowly, out of place,
and in such way as to be of the least
possible service to the country. The
repeal of the silver purchasing clause
under the Sherman act might possibly
have been of some service to the coun-
try had it been done promptly and at
once. But the delay in the Senate, the
long and protracted debate and the con-
tinuous opposition, nullifed any good
which the friends of the measure were
disposed to claim for it. After the re,
peal of the purchasing clause had un-
covered the real situation of the coun-
try, it then became the duty of Con-
gress, even from Democratic point of
view, to pass such tariff bill as would
give to us a reasonable degree of assu-
rance that the basis there established
would be one that would be permanent
for sufficient period of time, period
at least so long as the victorious party
were to be in power. Instead of real
izing the first great principle of states
manship, that whatever is to be done
in the world has got to be done mac
cordance with the wishes of the people
who live in it, the gentlemen in charge
of the tariff bill in the House under.
took to ignore the varied interests of
the country and to mold a tariff bill
not 10 the interest Of the nation, not in
accordance wi tn the wishes of the peo-
pie, but in accordance with certain
theories which they thought might
possibly fulfill their dream of ultimate
free trade. Such bill, framed in such
a manner, was doomed from the mo-
ment of itsiuception. 1t was not adapt
ed to this country; it was not adapted
to its interests; 1t was not adapted to
the situation in which the country then
found itself. Commencing upon q
vague theory that it was necessary to
coddle certain manufacturers at the
expense of Others, it violated the first
principles Of the Democratic platform
and undertook to mold a lawlin diff
ferent form from that which had ex-
/ 3. = -
listed before, the bill which Mr.. Wilson
introduced, although claiming to fulfill
the Democratic platform, was yet a
protectionist bill to certain degree.
