But he'd Jest hake his head an ud sorter repeat
"Well, mebbe wlll-w'en harvest the wheat"
All the relations from fur an from nigh

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

Is August musical month? This question
is agitating the breasts of Partisan journalists.
August has been accused of being the most
sterile of all the months in the calendar in
musical achievements. Nothing good, from a
musical standpoint can come out of August,
according to its detractors. Augustus defend
ers, however, say that the fault does not lie
with the month, but with railroads and steam
boats, which take people out of town for the
summer cheap. Arthur Paugin has gone low
ingly through the calendar, and has shown
that in days gone by famous works have been
produced from the LIST to the 3lst of August.
On the LIST of August, 1852, Pergolesfs LA
Serva Padrona" was first produced at the
Paris Opera; on the I'd of August, IVA.
Gluck's "Orphee" was given to the Partisan
public; on the Sd of August number OF mas
terpieces have been given to the world in diff
ferent years. These include Rossini's evil
liam Tell" Evidently the fault is not with
August, but with the modern tendency to go
out of town during the eighth month of the
year.
Rosenthals appearance in America this fall
will be the great musical event of the season.
No pianist tor some time has made more
enormous success than this young artist has
made in London during the past year.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.

Said Major Mckinley to delegation of
West Virginia editors: Nothing is OF
greater moment to the welfare of the
country than the adoption of a policy
which will give to labor and capital con-
slant employment with fair returns. But,
gentlemen, lying beneath all these, and
more important than all these, is the
preservation of law and order-the reign
of domestic quiet. These are embraced in
the contention which is upon us this year.
1t is not merely the success of indiv iduaIs
or party, but the good of the country it
seeks, and it is in that spirit, animated
only by patriotic sentiment, that 1 wish
always TO constantly speak and act"
The spirit of patriotism which moved
Major Mckinley to thus address himself
to his West Virginia friends comes from
love of right and truth which transcends
party and politics. at Is not the success
of individuals or party" that should stir
the people to action at this time. The
peace and welfare of the whole country is
threatened by faction that aims at over
turning the basic principles of the Govern
ment and the substitution for them of
something worse than those things which
the fathers of the Republic rebelled
against, and it behooves every patriot to
forget party in the Nations struggle to
maintain itself upon the broad lines of
civil liberty which the founders OF the
federation established when the Republic
was born.
1t is as Major Mckinley says. The Ma
ton must have policy which will give
labor and capital constant employment
with fair returns. 1t is question of the
advancement of the people in ways that
shall be most conducive to their peace and
prosperity, and not question of politi-
cal advantage for party's sake. There is
broadness and deepness in such utter
anCes as the visiting editors heard that
Indicate sincere desire to see the people
prosper and be happy. The preservation
of law and order is necessary to the pros
perity OF the people, and therefore what
ever is calculated to incite to revolution or
set section against section and neighbor
against neigkbor is an attack upon the
liberty as well as upon the business inter-
ests of every citizen. For these reasons
Major Mckinley says it is the good of the
country and not the success of individuals
or party that should actuate the voter.

EPIGRAMS BY THE MAN FROM

FLASHES OF WISDOM, WIT AND sTATEcRAFT FROM
THE RECENT SPEECH BY SPEAKER
REED.
The opportunity to labor is the opportunity
to live.
Man no longer shuns labor as his deadnest
foe, but welcomes it as his dearest friend.
Give us the opportunity to labor and the
whole world of human life will burst into tree
and flower.
Neither loud indignation nor howery speech,
neither great promises nor wild harangues
will help any man out of disaster or any ma
ton out of hard times.

Wien the people all work together, when
they all have faith in each other then pros
perity reigns.
We shall be saved now, not by orators or
professors, but by the sound sense OF an honest
Nation.
Confidence is prosperity. Distrust is ruin.
Prosperity, speculation, hard times, it is the
same succession of events the world over.
Money in hand Is better than money in bush,
especially when you cannot tell what kind OF
q bush it will be.
The past is for the wise man the only guide
for the future. What man has done man
The capital of all the world is waiting to be

You never will.
