In letter in the CrestOn, Iowa,
Gazette, Hon. l.. S. Coffin, the great
friend of the railroad employees, makes
a strong argument for sound money.
He concludes as follows:
For nearly twenty years Congress
has from time to time legislated to
keep up the price of silver on a parity
of l6 to l with gold, but in spite IF all
this it is now only about 30 10 /.
Everything on earth that passes from
one man to another in trade and
commerce of the world must stand
on its own bottom; it must go in the
markets of the world for its real
worth, and no legislation can long
keep it otherwise. Copper, nickel,
silver nor even gold can possibly be an
exception to this universal rule. This
whole bugaboo about the crime of '73
and the silver whirlwind of words
about a double standard, is senseless
and puerile.
think know the railroad men of
this nation we'll enough to fortell that
they will give the whole craze mighty
letting alone.

not for any political reason. but on
the moral ground that a vote for him
is vote for honor and honesty.

MUSIC AND SONG.

At 8 o'clock Saturday afternoon a
large, select and severely critical audi
ence assembled in the Deutcher Turn
verein hall to enjoy the promised music
recital of Prof. Bruno Oetteking and
Nine. Walter Petzet of the Navarro
Oetteking music school, This was the
first faculty recital and drew together the
music-loving people of this city.
The programme was very carefully Sc
lected and was as follows:
Sonata, A minor, (Schumann)-Vioin
and piano. II and L movement.
tSerenade," Paolo TostD.
1.-THE Farmer and Pigeon" (TauberD.
"Neuerwachte Hoffueny," CWalter Pet
'Xaver scharwenka," scherzo, for
piano.
"l3allade ct Polonaise," Wieuxtemps)-
Violin and piano.
fThe Scherzo is dedicated to Nine. Wal
ter PetzeD.
Nine. Petzet showed by her brilliant
and delicate touch that she is a pianist
of the highest order. Her accompani-
ments were excellent crterions to judge
from. Then, too, her voice, which is a
rich soprano, showed to be clear and
voluminous. She sang with remarkable
ease and won the admiration of all.
Professor Oetteking's violin work was
greatly enjoyed, his touch being of the
German school, His tone is sympathetic
and the touch light yet strong. The Sc
1ections allowed full scope for showing
the German breadth of movement. So
delighted was the audience that each
number was encored. The music recital
was delightful success.
