Hand Organs Again.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In one of Longfellows volumes Is an ac-
count OF the sufferings of John Kreisler. a
German musician, from listening to discard
ant music.
He says there was an ancient law forbid
ding those who followed any noisy handi-
craft from living near literary men, and he
thinks that this same law should favor
musicians and Danish out of their neighbor-
hood all ballad singers and bag pipers
He says: Cotton in ones ears is of no
use; one still hears the dreadful massacre
And then the idea-the bare idea-'Now
they are going to sing, now the horn strikes
UPS enough to send ones sublimest
thoughts to the very devil"
Did John kreisler live in the District in
these days of hand organs his condition
would be pitiable, and If one more torment
could be added to Dante's Inferno Ii would
surely be oblging some poor wretches to
listen to a hand organ. HARMONY

Admiration For Billy Wilson.

The Indianapolis News is an indie
pendent paper with decided Repub-
lican leanings, but its admiration for
genuine merit prompts it to make
the following manly protest:
1t is to be hoped that the people of
Congressman Wilson'S district will
re-elect him with an emphasis CORE
spending to what appears to be a
national attempt on the part of the
Republicans to defeat him. Such an
attempt was made successfully in the
case of Morrison, of Illinois. John
Jarrett, it will be remembered was
sent to Morrison's district, and if
popular report be true, with no end
of Doodle to compass the Illinois
mans defeat for his temerity in in
PRODUCING the. tariff reform bill.
There are indications that Mr.. Will
son is singled out for national chas-
tisement. 1t is to be hoped that the
effect will meet with failure. Mr..
Wilson is one of that kind of men of
which there are too few in public
life, an able, scholarly. pure minded
statesman. he ought to be returned
by a decided majority.

lac Shenandoah Valley.

The American Farmer, published
in Chicago, recently contained a
picture of historic Harper's Ferry,
and the following editorial mention,
which clearly expresses the opinion
of the talented editor regarding the
future of the great Shenandoah
Valley:
On page II we present an engrav-
ing of Harper's Ferry, the gateway
of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley,
as it looks to-day. We wonder how
many of our readers there are whose
hearts will thrill as they see once
more this grand panorama, this great
monument of the war. The grand
mountains, the beautiful river, all
stand unchanged to-day, except for
the evidence of man S progress and
mans industry which almost look out
of place in such beautiful picture.
WONDERFUL FUTURE.
But it isnot to recall "reminiscences
of the past that we present to your
notice this view; it is to call your
attention to the stern facts OF the
present, of the posi- bilities of the
future. Harper's Ferry is the gate
way TO what we believe we may call
the garden spot of the new world
the Shenandoah Valley. This valley,
peaceful and quiet since the close of
the war, presents TO the agricuIturist
soil almost if not quite as pregnant
with crops of many kinds as did the
virgin prairies of Iowa before they
had eyer felt the plowshare or the
harrow.
Blessed with the purest of water
in abundance, climate that could
not be excelled, delightful summer
and mild winter, it appeals to the
weary heart of the Dakota farmer
with an eloquence no pen can convey.
The balmy winter of Virginia, after
the rigors of Minnesota or Dakota,
is as sunshine after rain, as feast
after a fast.
There are among men class whom
for want of a better name we call
lucky. They are men with forest ght,
who look into the future, foresee its
possibilities and prepare to embrace
them. These men are now turning
their attention to the Shenandoah
Valley; they appreciate its product
i've qualities. and in these days of
railroad supremacy, when transport
tation charges consume almost the
entire profits of the producer, they
fully realize the position of this land
as regards markets. But few miles to
the east is our great National Capitol,
Washington, with its population of
100000 persons; few miles to the
east again is Baltimore, with its pop
ulation of close to 10000; few
miles furthe- east again and we find
Philadelphia, with a population of
l, 100000, and three hours more
brings us to New York and Brook
Ign, with combined population of
100000. Thus within seven hours
ride from Harper's Ferry we go
through five cities with combined
population of AS $1,000 persons, to
say nothing of the host of smaller
cities, all of which must be supplied
with food.
When one gives to these figures a
little thought he readily realizes why
the progressive men of the day are
giving their attention to the Shenan-
doah Valley.

my SuONAA NHJ OCIiOSLNO NSSSA
his party at this time! For twenty
years the Democratic party has been
predicting that Republican protec-
ton would, if not stopped, bring
ruin to the country. That such a
policy narrowed the markets for the
produce of the farmers, SO encour-
aged manufacturing that the home
market was glutted, and the mills be
compelled to shut down on account
of over production, and labor would
be thrown out of employment. For
twenty years these statements have
been made and the Democratic voter
believed them, and every two years
he came Loyalty up to the polls and
voted his party ticket. Finally the
majority of the people of this coun-
try saw that ruin was inevitable and
turned the government over to the
Democracy. This was not done be-
fore financial distress and disaster
had gained such Roadway that it
could not be checked, and the evils
of Republican legislation had to run
their course, and the business trou-
bles of the past year or two were
worse than even the Democracy
feared. The Democratic party at
Chicago declared for change and
the people sustained that demand
and voted for change of policy.
At the assembIying of Congress the
representatives of the people set to
work and passed tariff bill, which
they believe will prove blessing to
the whole country. In that bill they
incorporated as nearly as the con-
flicting interests of the country would
permit, the fuIfiILment of every
pledge of tariff reform the Demo-
cratic party had made and already
the benefits of the measure are seen
over the country. Business is re-
viving, mills are starting up and
confidence has been restored, and
now when this great party measure
is on trial it is the duty of every
Democrat to stand firmly by his
party, until the result of his party's
policy is fully seen. We have con-
fidence in tariff reform and firmly
believe that under the wise provisions
of the Wilson bill, this country will
prosper as it has never prospered
before. Tariff reform is what we
have been demanding and voting for
for years, and it is our duty to give
it a fair trial. We have tried the
Republican idea. For two years we
had the Mckinley law, Republican
protection run mad, and it was re-
pudiated by the great American peo-
pie at two successiN e elections. Now
give the new law n chance and if it
proves as disastrous to the country
as has the Mckinley law then it will
be time to vote for change. But
until it has been tried, stick closely
to the Democratic party-the party
of the people. -Fairmont IndeD.

Ilon. HenrY q. pavs.sPosltIop.


The intelligent Grafton correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, ina spe-
ciaI on the political campaign in the.
second district, says:
There lave been many rnmors con-
Meeting Hon. Henry G.. Davis, ex-
United States Senator from West
Virginia and president of the West
Virginia Central Railway Company,
with this bolt from Mr.. Wilson. A
few days ago representative of the
Sun had brief interview with Mr..
Davis on this subject. His attention
was called to a publication in the
New York Mail and Express stating
that lie would vote against Mr.. Will
son, and another in The Sun, in which
Senator Faulkner said Mr.. Davis
would vote for Mr.. Wilson. When
asked which was correct, Mr.. Davis
replied: Neither; I have not au-
thorized any one to say how l in
tended to vote. - He further said he
had never cast any other than DEM
oeratic vote and never expected to.
Mr.. Davis, continuing, said Mr..
Wilson had treated the interests of
his district very badly that, not con-
tent with having the tariff on coal
reduced from seventy-five to forty
cents ton, he declared on the floor
of Congress that the fight for free
coal and iron would be continued I'M
till success crowned the effort. The
conclusion of the The Suns repre-
sentative is that while Mr.. Davis may
not vote against Mr.. Wilson, and may
even vote fer him, the great tariff
reform er will not receive any moral
or material support from the Hon.
Henry G. Davis. While the wages
of the miners along the West Virgin
ia Central Railroad have not been cut
down since the passage of the tariff
bill the output has been decreased,
by which means the income of the
miners is materially lessened, and
they are feeling the effect of the de-
crease.
THE MoNoNGAHELA REGION.
There is a different state of affairs
in the mines along the Monongahela
river, in Marion county, in which ex-
Gov. A. B. Fleming is one of the
leading spirits. The miners are
working full time and are prospecting.
at a recent Democratic meeting at
Fairmont, which was addressed by
Governor Oates, of Alabama, eight
hundred miners from the Mouongah
mines attended and were the most
enthusiastic men in the large audi
ence. In this connection it is due to
the managers of these mines to make
an explanation of the reported cut
ting of miners wages cents per
ton. When the great coal strike of
last summer began the miners at
NTonongah declined to go out, and in
consequence of the closing of so many
mines the price of coal rapidly adj
vanced. The Monongah miners were
then getting 80 cents ton, but Oh
account of the advance in coal the
managers voluntarily advanced the
rate for mining to 20 cents ton.
After the resumption of the mines
generally coal fell in price to the
normal figure decreasing the profits
of the operators. AS a result they
fixed the price last week at 50 cents
ton, which is in fact an advance of
cents per ton on the rates which
prevailed at the time the great coal
strike commenced. This fully ex-
plains and answers the attempt of
Republican speakers to make capital
out of the alleged reduction.
