Average Buyers and Musicians Prefer the
Old Fashioned Woods.
There was time when a piano was
. piano, and that was the end of it. The
case was of rosewood or mahogany. It
had serpentine molding around IL, or else
it didn't. 1t had carved legs or angular
ones. You could pay your money and
take your choice. But the time came
when people had more money and more
choice too. They had white and gold
music rooms, in which the old rosewood
standby seemed so out of harmony that
even its music wasn't appreciated. Then
they began gliding the cases and max
ing them of curly maple and other light
woods. Finally piano began to be re-
garded not only as a musical instru-
ment, but as piece of furniture, TO be
as carefully fitted into its surroundings
as q chair or table or hangings.
But this wasn't all. There were pos
sibilities in a piano which chairs and
tables did not possess-possibilities of
decoration, the most artistic and costly.

In Europe great artists did not scorn to
devote their talents to the decoration of
u piano case any more than they would
have refused to fresco the walls of q
music room. A few of Americas money
kings went to Europe for their piano
cases, had them brought to New York
and then put American mechanism, the
piano proper, inside Of them. The i'm
ported exterior was better than anything
that could be had ON this side Of the
water, just as the American interior
was unequaled in Europe.
Although there are not many people
who are willing to spend even so much
as $25, 900 on piano, there has, never
theless, been a wonderful change in the
way Americans buy pianos. Special
cases-that is, cases designed to order
and with reference to the room in
which piano is to stand-are the rule
now and not the exception among poo
pie of wealth. There is scarcely house
belonging to New Yorl's -Four Hundred
which does not contain piano in q spe.
cially designed case. So great has be-
come the demand for these elaborate and
artistic cases that the best New York
manufacturers employ designers trained
In Europe in order to do the work here
which formerly had to be sent abroad.
Quite naturally the rage for empire
furnishings brought about an epidemic
of pianos in that style, but they are
varied by Chippendales and colonials
and white enameled ones. The ware
rooms contain many pianos which, al
though not designed to order are yet
destined to Fit into particular surround
ings.
Musicians, it appears, do not spend
their money on elaborate cases. They
select good toned instrument, and the
plain rosewood or mohagany case is
good enough for them. The curly maple
has quite lost its popularity, by the
way. If one wants light wood, he can
be accommodated in whita mahogany.
There is nothing, however, for the aver.

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.

The Liquor Dealers of the differe Mt
states are holding state meetings.
One was held the other day in Mime
apolis. No purpose is assigned for
these gatherings. A friend tells us
that they are considering the ques-
tion of how their influence and votes
shall be cast in the coming presiden-
tial election. Their sympathis have
heretofore been with the Democratic
party, but they say that organization
is now "played-out." and the Repub-
lican party is no top. They argue
that the G. O. P. has broken loose
from the Prohibition element in
Iowa, Kansas, ETC.; and so they now
propose to cast their lot with the Re-
publican party; and thus, on the basis
of services rendered. secure immunity
for their pursuit. The Horsepower,
our friend tells US. is bringing about
this marriage of interests.
The work Of capitalization, our
friend says, is going on. The banks,
the saloons, the gold Republicans, the
gold Democrats and the gold Prohi-
bitionists will all, he says, be found
united in solid. phalanx against hon

This proposition was a crime to be de-

Those who voted for it would countenance
a dishonorable act. "But thank God, the
measure cannot become law" exclaimed
Mr.. Sherman, while the house of repre-
sentatives and the president are on the
right side"
1t thus appears that Senator Sherman
can become very devout and religious IN his
rhetoric. when he gets the proper inspira-
ton. If he had said, THANK Rothschild,"
however, he would have been more con-

Senator Baker, the weak little Republi-
can successor of Senator ingalls,, thus par
rot-like spoke of the bill to stop the bond
syndicate deals: "The passage of the bill
would foreshadow panic, reputation and
possibly revolution. 1t would be the great
est crime of the Nineteenth century"
Nevertheless, the bill-the "Populist"
measure resisted by every representative
of Wall street-was supported by senate
vote of "a to 20; which shows that the large
majority of the senate are in principle on
this measure Populist. This shows voters
clearly where the majority stands with re-
gard to the dominant issue of the day.
Even. congress holds that conservative and
honest legislation, run not in the special in
terests of the money power, is Populist
legislation. There IS only one party which
has taken a reliable stand in regard to bond
issues, and that is the Populist party.
