What II startling and sudden change
within the short period of eight months
from December, 1892, to August, 1893.
What had occurred! A change of ad-
ministration. All branches of the govern
ment had been entrusted TO the demo-
cratic party. which was against the pro-
tective policy that had prevailed unin-
terruptedly for more than thirty-twO
years and brought uneXampled pros
perity to the country. and firmly pledged
to its complete overthrow and the sub
stituton of a tariff for revenue only. The
change having been decreed by the elec-
tons of November, its effects were at
once anticipated and felt. We can not
close our eyes to those altered cOnd-
tions, nor would it be wise to exclude
from contemplation an investigation Of
the causes which produced them. They
are facts which we can not as n people
disregard. and we can only hope to i'm
prove our present condition by study
of it's causes. In December, 1892, we
had the same currency and practically
the same volume of currency that we
have now. 1t aggregated in 1892 81

They were making the ascent of a high
peak, and the path was very precipitous and
dangerous in places. At the point where the
accident happened the hunters had dis
mounted and were leading the animals. They
came to a narrow ledge, and the point where
they struck it it was several feet above the
path. The horses had to jump up on it. On
the opposite side of the ledge there a
precipice, broken by several lodges. 1t was
800 feet to the bottom.
The pony referred TO jumped, but failing to
measure the distance correctly gave himself
such impetus that he went sheer over and

edge and watched his descent. He turned

Two Members of Long Standing
Were Buried Yesterday.

Two Members of Long Standing
Were Buried Yesterday.
The funeral services of DR.. William
f. Fischer and Henry Freeman took
place at Atlantic Congregational
church, and st. Peters Episcopal
church, respectively, at o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
Both the deceased were Masons, Dr.
Fischer being member of Braden
lodge, Of this city, and Mr.. Freeman a
member of Henderson lodge, of Hen
derson, MINI.
Rev. S. w. Dickinson performed the
services over the remains of DR.. Fisch-
CT, which were very impressive, COM
manding the utmost reverence and re-
spect for the deceased, who was ever
loyal to his country and to his church.
DR.. Fischer was born in Louisiana in
1885, studied medicine at Ann Arbor,
graduating a few years after his en-
trance in that institution, and moved
to Manistee, Mich, where he actively
engaged in his profession. He served
three years as assistant surgeon in the
F'iftieth United States colored infantry.
Seventeen years ago he came to ST.
Paul, and resided here up to the time
of his death at the Soldiers home.
Those who knew DR.. Fischer have
only kind words to say of him. He

married, and resides in California. The

At $3.50 both funerals met at the cor

formed.

were sufficiently well posted to see the
Iallacy of the arguments that have
been scattered around by the private
corporation that stands to get $1,000
900 or S3,00O,000 by carrying the agi-
tatlon to a successful issue. They have
CANNED that the carrying and distri-
outlon OF letters costs the authorities
only one-eighth of what it costs to
carry newspapers; whereas the ex-
pense to the men sending letters is
many times greater than that charged
TO carry newspapers. But this, the
wiser ones discover. is calculating it
on the basis of the weight of the let
Ter and the weight of other matter.
Letters only weigh one-eighth of the
) total weight of matters carried in the
mails.
Here, however, is the deception in
are arguments. One pound of second
class matter sent say from Washing
ton to st. Paul is perhaps only han
oled twice or three times. 1t is thrown
IN a bag and that's about all there
Is TO It. But letter sent from Wash
lngton to St Paul is handled a dozen
tllileS, passes through eight hands at
least. Besides where one package may
Wefgn one pound it takes on an aver
age fifty letters to make a pound. So
tnat the work required to carry, dis
tribute and deliver one pound of let
iioHi d given CITY 10 the various
places they are intended for would
mean two Or three hundred times as
much work as is required to handle
the one pound OF Second-claSS matter
Now it is proposed by this private
concern to reduce the revenue of the
postal department $20,000,000, and it is
claimed that such a move at this time
would cripple the service beyond the
point where it would take years to
get back into shape again. For this
reason the report to the chamber of
commerce this morning will only con-
tain recommendation for a reduction
IN the price Of letter postage at such
a time as the reduction can be made
without impairing the service Of the
postal department, which means some
indefinite time in the future.

SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM.
1t Inspired the seibert Programme
of Yesterday.

The natural alliance Of "springtime
and song" accounted, perhaps, for the
multitude attracted to Seibert's concert
by the ethereal mildness Of yesterday
afternoon. Scarcely a seat was va
cant in Conover hall. Director Seibert
and his aides seemed imbued with the
joyous vigor Of the day, and rendered
their eighth programme OF the season
with unusual and effective verve. The
concert began in accordance with some
thing of commercial "home trade" or,
patriotic theory. Christian Bach-not
the great Sebastian, but an American
composer of Milwaukee-was the author
of the first selection-the ''LenoX"
march. The composition had the good
fortune to suffer less than one might
anticipate from the comparison Of COM
posers or from the recollection of how
Sousa can perform a march. The pa
thos of Beethoven's great Sonata Pa
thetique" was justly prominent, although
every ones familiarity with this exqui-
site composition reveals unhappily the
slightest defect in it's Interpretation.
Paderekskis "Minuet Atlantique"-a
dainty, sprightly selection-was less
difficult to handle. Its merit discloses
that the pianist's fame has a more sub
stantial foundation than superfuous
hair. The closing numbers of the first
part of the concert We're satisfactorily
given in the singing of Neidlinger's
Come, Love, Come" by the Trouba-
dcur Male quartette, and in the cello
solo of Prof. Ernest Lachmund, Du-
luth artist. His playing is certainly
sympathetic, and his shading excellent.
The notable selection of Part IL,
contralto song by Mrs. Kate Dawes,
a local amateur, might have been
better test Of the lady's abilities had
she been more familiar with public
concerts. Her diffidence prevented an
adequate development Of the power
which her voice doubtless possesses.
1t was a voice, manifestly, Of pure and
even tone. One Of Massenet's sacred
airs was combined during the next
selection in striking contrast with
recently published 'IntermezZo' by
Gust Bach, son Of the Milwaukee
composer, previously mentioned. Both
compositions were for strings only.
The orchestra did admirable work in
the Massenet music. It's delicacy of
shading was delightful, although the
tempo might have been the least bit
hurried Young Bach's "Intermezzo"
would be tame after the magic strains
of Mascagni, yet the Milwaukee must
clan has written phrases of plaintive
tenderness. The violoncello was here
accorded a welcome and appreciative
duty
The last number of yesterdays pro-
gramme came too quickly, although it
was possibly a day late. Surely the
22d Of February would have been the
day of winter days for such spirited
playing of that patriotic melange,

One need not be a foreigner to recog-
nize that the original songs are bald
and primitive, yet 1t is doubtful wheth-
err the added beauties Of the skilled
composer can exalt the art of these
melodies without detracting from their
old-time patriotic inspiration.
