THE KINGS.

man said unto HIS angel:
"Mv spirits are fallen through,
And | cannot carry this battle;
Oh. brotherl what shall dor
"Tbe terrible kings are on me
with spears that are deadly bright,
Against me 30 from the cradle
Do fate and my fathers fight"
Then said TO the man his angel:
nTbou wavering, foolish soul,
Back TO the ranksl WHAT matter
To win or to lose the whole,
"As Judged by the little judges
Who hearken not we'll, nor seer
Not thus, by the outer issue,
The wise shall interpret thee.
"Thy will is the very, the only,
Tho solemn evca. OF things.
The weakest of hearts dCfying
IIs stronger than all these kings.
~Though out of the past they gather
Minds doubt and bodily pain,
And pallid thirst of the spirit
That Is kin to the other twain,
"And grief, In cloud of banners,
And ringletted vain desires,
And vice, with the spoils upon him
OF thee and thy beaten sires;
"While kings OF eternal evil
Yet darken the hills about
Thy part is with broken saber
To rise on the last redoubt;
ITO fear not sensible failure,
Nor covet the game ut all,
But fighting, fighting, fighting,
Die, driven against the wall"

WICHITA AND NEW ORLEANS.

In our dispatches will be found call
for an adjourned meeting of the Wich.
ita grain and trade congress to be held
at New Orleans on the 10Th of June.
The meeting held at Wichita on the 18th
of April caused more comment in the
important grain markets and trade CEN
ters than anything that has happened
for years. The railroads, recognizing
that the movement was practicable and
that they had too long acted in the
capacity of feeders for eastern trunk
lines, have made reductions with view
of carrying to its nearest export market,
and have put in merchandise rates via
the gulf ports that are much more
favorable than the old established
rates. 1t is due to Wichita that the
west and south have at last been aroused
TO the point of demanding the advantages
of their location and it will result in ex-
ploding the time worn theory that the
west and south must continue to pay
tribute to the North Atlantic ports at the
cost of double the rail haul. The people
of New Orleans are putting Forth every
effort TO make the coming meeting a
success, and expect Wichita and the
towns of Kansas to uphold the cause.
The importance of this matter is so great
that every town in Kansas that ships
grain ought to send 4 representative in
the interest of the producer and the con-
sumner.

WHAT Is COMING OF ITa

United States Marshal Neely having
arrested the Sanders contingent of the
Coxey craze, some four hundred strong,
the questions are why? and what can
be done with them? Is it a replevin
suit or an arrest for grand larceny?
Was a railroad stolen or only train
transferred from one part to another OF
the linc Of its operation? How could
anything be repievined while it re-
mained where it belongs? Is 1t state
or federal &C urt case! Where are these
four numbered 20 be confined? Who is
and bind them over or otherwise turn
them loose? Has anybody put their foot
in ii: These and many other like ques-
tions will trouble somebody before the
matter is finally disposed Of.
It's too bad that Kansas finally got
her foot in it. These people. be they
thieves or patriots, do not belong to
Kansas, and Kansas not being Demo
cratic state ought not be made suffer
for the conceded results of a Democratic
ton. Ii this widespread movement
keeps on increasing in the same ratio OF
the past sixty days, the Democratic con-
gress will be compelled to give ear or
adjourn and get out of the way or 9TH
erwise materially increase the standing
army, for something is going to happen.
The different divisions are all good
natured as yet, for there has been such
aid, sympathy and daily contributions
as in way satisfied those who appre-
ciate that their movement is bluff, or
but a venture at best. But let ten or
twenty thousand of them once concen-
trate in Washington and then let pinch
ing hunger come and desperation will
follow.

SOUTH KANSAS WHEAT FIELDS.

Kansas is state of surprises no less
agriculturally than politically. She jumps
from the ridiculous to the sublime with
an ease that startles all hands During
the month of March she kept the COM
mercial world guessing what wheat
would be worth. The pessimlstic plow-
holder declared that the crop was utterly
destroyed and in many instances COM
menced to plow up his field. The wind
howled and tore up no small amount of
wheat by the roots, and wheat advanced
several cents in the market. The wind
subsided and the rain fell and wheat
dropped several points. The pivotal state
geographically is the pivotal state upon
which the price of grain hangs. Her
winds blow it up and her rains wet it
down. Never in the history of Kansas
has the growing crop made greater i'd
vancement than during the past three
weeks, and the prospects today are the
best we have had for years.

FRAUD IN MUSICIANS.

There has been another musical iubi-
lee in Kansas. The winners are nat.
urally jubilant. Those who entered for
prizes and lost are not feeling so well.
Some of them are no doubt chagrlned.
They cannot see why another excelled.
They will find the reason in rldicu-
lous and well established custom. That
is the custom of putting the whole con-
test under the autocracy of some eastern
musician. His individual taste is per-
mitted to become a mandatory ukase.
his whims final DEGREES from which
there is no appeal, and he is elevated to
the position of musical car.
a gentleman named Archer occupied
this pedestal at Hutchinson during the
past week. He came from Chicago as a
special feature of the meeting, and Incl
dentally to act as musical car. In Chi
cago, Archer is known only as an oryan-
ist III a church. He is not held to be an
authority in music there. He has never
presided at any of the important musical
events there. But he can come out to
Kansas and the people are asked to hang
upon his decisions as irrevocahle DEGREES
from which there is no appeal.
Archer would not be selected for such
a place i'll the east and he is not licensed
to do so in the West. The west is not
behind the east in music. The prairie
voices have infinitely more harmony in
them than the rattle of a coal Wagon
over brick pavement in 4 city. Music
is closely allied TO pastoral life and
sounds. One of Beethoven's greatest
symphonies is tone reproduction of a
farm yard.
There Is and always has been fraud in
musicians. Paganini in Edinboro, Scot
land, one night began TO play simple
little air, He played it softly, and more
softly, over and over again. until his
hearers did rot know whether they
heard the air or simply imagined it. He
paused fully 4 minute and then sudden
ly slammed the bow down on the strings.
Twelve women in the audience tainted.
1t was not the power OF the music that
overcame the women. He could have
gained the same effect by whackinc
dish-pan.
Beethoven had for his especial an1use-
ment the act Of shieing plate at any
one who happened 10 be near when he
was eating. Wagner never allowed a
soul in the room in which lie composed.

one member of his orchestra IN London
