INCONSISTENT PATRIOTISM.

In the affairs Of men there IS ever a
tendency to a self-regulation of ex-
tremes, to a reciprocity in conflicting
interests, and compromises for antag-
oDjsmS. The mOnOmetalliSt, however,
holds the bimetallist TO be a straddler,
and the silver man as thoroughly be-
lieves that the goldbug IS hog. The
statesman's business IS to harmonic
all things on an equitable basis. If
lac cannot do this he is unworthy his
ambition and should be relegated.

MoRRILL AND MURPHY.

When Francis Murphy came TO kaEsas
he and Governor Morril made dead mash
on each other. This caused a jealousy,
and the State Temperance union has re-
pudiated Murphy and his work. And yet
every man Of observation and intelligence
in the state comedies that the statement
TO which 81, bitter exceptions are taken
is true. The great trouble win organiza-
tons OF the character Of the union is that
they ignore and deny patent facts, de-
nounce men who utter the truth, and IN
dertake TO build upon a theoretical found
alton. The State Temperance union. good
intentioned as il is. with hundreds of
honest. earnest workers in it, has zone
the cause ef temperance more harm in
Kansas than have all the efforts Of the
brewers and liquor men combined. The
reason Is that they refuse TO accept facts
as they find them, and then insist upon
making fscts that will suit their own
ideas as to how things should be.-Law-

MANS INHUMANITY TO :

It 10 q humiliating fact but II seems
next to impossible for the average male
editor to state anything concerning wo-
men as voters or women in politics cor
rectly. Whether this bias Is eternal IS a
question. We have observed wondrous
ability IN the Topping line among the op-
ponents OF woman's acknowledgment
when the question carries afnrm2tiveIy.
The editor OF the Daily Eagle OF WITCH
tia, Kan. has delivered himself OF one OF
the most remarkable diatribes We have
read recently. We fear his Eagles eyes
are not in good working order. and would
advise him to take something for that
stigmatism right OF; any old thing will
do-rough on rats, or strychnine. or chlor-
oform-
We are able and the women voters OF
Colorado are able TO stand bindly cr!t-
cisms, uttered without malice and IN q
spirit OF Justice ana truth. but this seems
10 US TO be drawing Il little too strong.
The Eagle says:
Admitting that the convention was just
about as bad as they are made. Il "a a
little wide OF the mark 20 call the beau
tful Broadway theater a beer garden"
Perhaps in a prohibition state they fad
beer gardens convenient for conventions.
but so far Denver does not boast =
beer garden Moreover. the female polit-
clan was conspicuous for her absence. In
fact, Il has been whispered that she has
gotten tired. The chairman was Lady.
That many OF those with whom she had
10 deal were by no means gentlemen does
lot in the least alter that fact Certainly.
Tie News advised women 20 withdraw
from such scenes, but 1t gave this advice
not because any woman was guilty Of
Improperly. but because & thought the
disgust OF the women thus expressed
might have q sanitary effect upon men
who had apparently forgotten that they
were living IN the nineteenth century.

so dreaming duly appreciates the five
kinds of anguish he sets surging up
and down the heads and hearts OF his
victims. But yesterday he maliciously
fiays the enterprising Eagle reporter
for the commendable scoop" on the
progress of the wheat harvest in South
Kansas. Because. forsooth, Atchlson
is situate north of the climatic parallel
or the demarcating divide which sep
arates this land of sunshine, from that
of the blizzard and cyclone where the
wheat harvest is from two to three
weeks later in the season, we must
submit to this Atchison editors charge
of being subsidized by the bears Of the
Chicago grain pit. Fiel Wheat was
county, fully ripened grain, within ten
miles OF this city. Because we are
adyantageously located and possess
ing unusual enterprise is no reason why
a child should not fall down into the
tube of a bored well, that an Indian
maiden shouldn't be traded for ponies.
or a corn-train TO national convention
be among the impossibilities worthy
only to be labeled ga Wichita lie"
This is indeed a phenomenal country
of strange happenings, where even
newspaper men must do or die. The
wheat is white unto the harvest in
South Kansas, Mr.. Howe. God has
siIted many clines for the finding of
this land of big things, and its won
derful stories are Of its still more won
derful environment, if impossible of
belief by dephlegmated inanity are yet
nevertheless true as gospel.

HARRISON is RIGHT.

Cleveland has vetoed the river and
harbor bill, as was seen by our Wash
ingtOn dispatches, of yesterday. Kan
saS and Oklahoma, nor the interior
west generally, are going to cry over
the fact, but they will question the
sincerity Of the act. Cleveland In his
posings might prove Il veritable Fal-
staff, had he more wit The sack nor
self-esteem are wanting. He has done
| little else than attitudiniZe ever since
he fully realized that his double-deal-
| ings in one direction, and his persis-
tency in another, had hopelessly di-
vided and stranded the political or
ganiZation to which he owes all. Cen
eral Harrison's belief that Mr.. Cleve-
land is delaying action on the Cuban
| affair for the purpose of playing ii as
a trump card for effect on the Demo
cratic national convention is amply
warranted by the presidents manner
Of dealing with important questions.
He is distinctly theatrical in method
He delights in sensations and fairly
revels in surprises. 1t is therefore by
no means unlikely that he has in re-
hearsal some lightning-change trick
with reference to the Cuban situation
which he intends to perform at time
when he believes it viii divert public
attention from the glaring failures Of
his administration and re-establiSh him
upon his ancient pedestal as Demo
cratic idol The improperly Of drag
ging into partisan warfare ACQUISITION
which should be dealt with solely on
the high ground of duty and patriotism
will not worry Mr.. Cleveland in the
least. Dignity and propriety have
never been recognized as factors in his
politics.
The Weakened policy Of the present
administration toward Cuba. whether
intended as a permanent one, or but
n necessary preliminary TO coup
detat, there is no question as to the
desires, convictions and sympathies of
the American people, which is neither
sentimental or temporary. The people
and government of he United States
have always been deeply concerned in
the welfare of that island which lies
at our very door, is but a part of this
continent Secretary Adams in 1898
took up the cause of Cuba with Spain.
Both Thomas Jefferson and Monroe de-
clared that it must never fall into the
hands Of England. Clay, Jackson, Van
Buren, and Tyler all expressed like con-
victiOns. President Polk authorized
direct proposal to Spain TO buy Cuba.
Daniel Webster advocated its annex
alton as the key TO the gulf.
But the present concern Of our people
for Cuba is entirely unselfish, what
ever Cleveland may hold We are not
so much interested in the question of
as we are in having the
heroic Cubans succeed in their patriotic
effort to secure the autonomy of their
island.
The proposition DO completely sep
arate Cuba from Spain and to establish
there a republican form of govern
ment could not fail to powerfully ap-
peal to the patriotism and enthusiasm
of the American people. The desire
of all Americans to see every portion
OF the new world freed from the des-
potic domination of the old world IS |
instructive and irresistible.

THE EDUCATION OF MUSIC.

| Music lends to exalted ideals, to the
love of the beautiful, as expressed in
art in literature or wherenOt- Music
is the most ethereal, the least material
in it's effects, yet as a study is among
the higher mental disciplines. In a
thoughtful and earnest essay in the
Forum for June, Waldo S. Pratt de
plores and suggests methods of obviat-
ing what he terms the isolation OF
music as a factor of modern culture.
That there must always be a certain
amount Of this isolation in any art
or, indeed, any department of knOwl-
edge-when pursued TO the limit of
ones powers, he readily admits; but he
inveighs against any view or concep-
ton of music that places it forever
apart from other departments of the
fine arts.
Mr.. Pratt's suggestions in behalf Of
progress in this department are three
in number. First of ALL" he says, 'let
me urge that larger emphasis should
be thrown upon general education as
a prerequisite for the popular exercise
of musicianship." This is of the fore
most Importance. A glance at the
lives Of composers whose works have
lived and are destined to endure long
est, shows that they were men of the
deepest philosophical character and
had more than merely the love Of SEN
suouS beauty Of tone, and more than
the ability to write pretty or melodiOus
tunes. Beethoven and Wagner, for in
stance, were men OF the highest and
broadcast human sympathy and appre-
citation. The immortal Ninth Sym
phony Is the creation OF man who
had borne his share in the battle of
life, and the Wagner music dramas are
monuments of pervading and far
reaching breadth and understanding Of
all that makes up human nature, as
well as evidence that in literary power
the composer was almost as heroic a
figure as in music.
The composer who secludes himself
from all the progress that surrounds
him in the outside world is hardly like
ly to produce works that receive the
best or most general support; which
perhaps shows that there must be IN
the most universal music some quality
that depends for its recognition on the
human and not merely musical interest
it can excite. The day of the irregular
genius who is musician to the exclu-
sion of being interested or capable of
participating IN outside affairs Is fast
passing.
Mr.. Pratt's second plea Is Tor the
closer association Of musical study
with the other forms OF study. AZ
fliation Is to certain extent provoked
by proximity, he says, and the spirit Of
one school reacts helpfully ON that OF
It's neighbors. The art spirit can hard
ly be too asSiduously cultivated IN this
practical age, and q strengthening of
ones art sense, and an increase in the
power of understanding and utilizing
the truths as well as the facts OF life,
are always much 10 be desired Mr..
Pratt strikes home when he urges a
closer study of the analogieS between
literature and music. To be content to
read what other people say OF books is,
after all, TO have attained only a small
part Of literary knowledge, and so any
thing less than personal acquaintance
with much music falls short of the
highest achievements
