THE CONGRESSIONAL QUESTION.
[Worganfeid SUM-

That the Second Congressional Dis
trict Of Kentucky is still Democratic
we do not doubt, but the November
results demonstrate that a united
front must be presented if we con-
tinue to send a Democratic congress-
man to Washington.
The party can no longer divide
within itself and elect its nominee.
It can no longer nominate any man,
just so he is Democrat, with any
assurance that he will win.
We must nominate the very best
men and go into the fight with solid
ranks to insure ultimate victory.
The question on which. the party is
divided to-day is that of money.
Both the sound moneyites and the
free silverites haye been determined
and obstinate, and as a result the
Republicans have assumed control
of the State government.
There is growing feeling that the
party can only reunite by both sides
making concessions, and already
search is being made for candidate
who will be acceptable to both wings.
DR.. j. D. Clardy, our present con-
gresham, has been suggested as the
proper one to, and the only one who
can lead, us out OF the wilderness,
and he has been nominated by
sound money Democrat who has
given the question careful considera-
ton, and who has consulted with
prominent and leading Democrats all
over the district.
Some of the reasons advanced why
DIR. Clardy would make the strongest
nominee the party could select are
good ones, and it may be that time
will prove him to be.
DR.. Clardy favors the coinage of
silver at ratio Of sixteen to one, but
if that ratio does not produce parity
he is in favor of changing it to such
a ratio as will produce parity be-
tween the two metals.
As we understand it both sides are
lin favor of the coinage of both gold |
and silver at true and not ficti-
tious ratio, but they separate on the |
16-to-1 arrangement. DR.. Clardy, it |
seems, fayors giving the I6-to-1 |
scheme trial and If that does not !
produce the desired result he is will |
ing to change the ratio.
To accept DIR. lardy the sound
money wing of the party must make
a much greater concession than the
free silver side, yet, if he is the only
man who can keep the Second Dis
trict in the ranks, for the sake of
party Organization the sound money
itos should notsbesitate about making
The concession, providing, of course,
that DR.. Clardy's views correspond
with the platform tclbe promulgated
by the National Convention.
The Democratic party will in Ma
tional Convention frame and pro-
mitigate a platform some time next
year, and every party nominee for
should stand hat-footed on
that.platform We do, not want in
politics repetition of the
recent Kentucky campaign. The
party must be as unit-every nomi-
nee standing on the platform and
fighting, without a dissenting voice,
for the principles enunciated by the
National Convention.
II is Democratic toAendorse good
officer, and if Dr. Clardy's course in
the present congress is what it should
be he will have that very. decided
advantage; but if he desires the
nomination in 1896 he must make ar
engagements to stand on the '96 plat

PERSEVERANCE THE PRICE,
Padercwski Practiced Ono Difficult
Passage Over 200 Hours.


1t has been calculated that in the
performance Of some rapid and elab-
crate passages of pianoforte music
there may be, in the space of one min
ute. many thousand separate move
ments OF the arms. wrists. hands and
fingers. An attempt has been made t.
figure out the pressure represented by
such force expenditure. 1t has been
said that 1T requires more force t.
sound note gently on the piano than
1t does to lift the lid of a kettle" This
can be easily verified by taking a small
handful of coins and piling them on O
key of the plano. When a sufficient
quantity Is piled on to make a note
sound, the coins may be weighed, and
the figure will be found to be true.
II the pianist is playing with great
strength, much greater force is ex-
pended. At times a force Of six pounds
Is launched upon a single key to pro-
duce single effect. In the playing OF
chords the force is generally spread
over the various notes sounded simul-
taneOusly, though greater output OF
force is undoubtedly expended. 1t is
this incessant application Of cOncen.
trated force that gives pianists the
wonderful strength in their fingers that
Is often commented on. 1t Is said that
Paderewski once cracked pane OF
French plate glass half an inch thick
merely by placing one hand upon II
as II upon a key board. and striking II
sharply with his little finger. Chopin $
last study in c minor has a passage
which takes two minutes and five sec
ands to play The total pressure brought
to bear on this. 1t is estimated, Is equal
to three tons. The average tonnage
of an hours piano playing Of Chopin 8
music varies from twelve to eighty
four tons. '''
The story of Paderewskis eXtraOrd
mary strength Of hand is more easily
credited in the face of a conversation
which has just been reported In one
of Chopin's pieces. Paderewski uses his
little finger with a force and elasticity y
almost incredible, and certainly impos-
sible to any other living player. When
asked by a friend, also a celebrated
pianist, how he accomplished this,
Padcrewski replied: II will tell you;
1t Is very simple. / practiced that
single passage one hour every day for
four years" The story is authentic
Besides accounting for the marvellous
power development of the hands of the
great artist. 1t is another interesting
proof of how much hard work has to
do with genius.
