BOIES TRIUMPHS.

The victory of Ex-Governor Boies over the
Federal otfice-holders in Iowa is a singing
cut to Cleveland. Of all Western men
Boies is the most disliked by the admins
tration. He has never been in accord with
Cleveland's tariff, money or foreign policy,
and being the recognized leader of his
party in Iowa the condemnation which
the President received at the hands of the
Dubuque convention yesterday may be
considered an open declaration of war
upon any aspirant for the Chicago noml-
nation who is under suspicion of being
friendly to Cleveland.
Ex-Governor BoIes is in no sense a great
man, but having carried Iowa twice
against the usual Republican majority of
$4,000 he is accepted as the Moses of the
party and wherever he leads the rank and
file are pretty sure to follow. But what
made the Dubuque convention so deter
mined to repudiate Cleveland's kind of
Democracy was the trick the Federal of
tice-holders played upon the party in the
State Convention last year. Early last
spring holders of Office under Cleveland in
Iowa were given to understand that the
administration would expect them to not
only nominate a goldbug for Governor,
but see that the convention praised Cleve-
lands wise and patriotic policy"
When the convention Assem- bled at Mar
shalltown it was found that it was under
the control of Cleveland's appointees, who
proceeded to turn Boies and all other
opponents of the Presidents Wall-street
methods out of doors. Judge Babb was
put at the head of the ticket, not because
there was any chance of electing him, but
to keep the machinery of the party in the
hands of Cleveland's friends so as to send
delegation friendly to him to the Ma
:ional Convention. In the light of these
facts the triumph of Boies and his follow
ing is significant. 1t means that under
no circumstances will the Iowa delegation
to Chicago pledge the vote of the party 10
any one who is under the influence of
Cleveland. On the money question prac-
tically all the rank and file of the Iowa
Democratic party agree with Boies that
"as between gold recommendation and
silver coinage at 10 to without safeguards
of any kind / am for the latter" Then,
for the most part, Iowa Democrats are
ultra free-traders.

G0RMAN'S DEFEAT.

The debate and the vote on the motion
| OF Senator German to amend the coast
defense bill by a clause authorizing the
| issue of 500, 100000 of 3-per-cent treasury
| certificates was one OF the most interesting
episodes of recent proceedings in Congress
1t seems, furthermore, to foreshadow a
veto of the appropriation bill, and not
| distant call for another loan to replenish
! tn gold reserve.
Germans argument in favor of his pro-
| posed amendment was that as the
! revenues OF the Government are not equal
to its expenses, it will be necessary to OBJ
tain money in some way to carry it out
The condition OF the treasury, which is
bad enough at present, will be made worse
by the large appropriations which are to
be voted for needed pu bic improvements
naval expansion and coast defenses. Two
ways are open to obtain the required
funds. One is to increase the revenues by
enacting better tariff of customs duties.
and the other is to borrow the money.
German argued that as it seems impossi-
BILE for the Senate to pass tariff bill at
this session it would be better and cheaper
| to authorize the issue of treasury certifi-
Gates than TO force the administration to
undertake new loan.
| That the position taken by German was
correct in the main is beyond question
| but he made the mistake of trying to reap
partisan advantage out of the situation
| by alleging that the Republicans in Con-
gress are responsible for the condition of
the treasury, inasmuch as they have not
enacted any measures for its relief. This
| allegation was promptly refuted by Sem
ator Sherman. As a matter of fact the
Republican majority in the House did
pass an emergency tariff bill and it was
defeated in the Senate because all the
| Democrats and Populists voted against it.
| 1t was Democracy that enacted the deficit
tariff. 1t is Democracy that keeps it in
| force. 1t is Democracy that has forced
| the country into debt, and it is still
Democracy that now threatens through
| its President, Grover Cleveland, to veto
| the appropriation bill and thus add stag
| nation to depression.
| 1t is worth noting that for the German
amendment only nine Senators voted.
| This is almost as bad a showing as that
made by Senator Hill when he undertook
to organize fight against the bond deals.
| The two men, German and Hill, seem to
be as completely discredited as Cleveland
| himself. In the Senate, at any rate,
Democracy is completely demoralized and
its ablest and most aggressive leaders are
| unable to rally even dozen men to help
the administration in its hour of need.

ga company has been organized there, too,
to work the Kentucky mine. This is an old
property and has very fine prospect.
"The old Gold Hill mine that has not been
worked for thirty years is to be started again,
and on great scale. The owners are going to
put in a 200-horsepower electric plant there
and work the mine for all it Is worth. That is
very important thing for Grass Valley.

up again. The owners, who consist of San
Francisco men, including Mr.. Flood and his
friends, have not decided yet whether to put
on water power direct or use compressed
air.

FOREIGN PARENTs-W. A. F., City. II an alien
couple come to this country and settle without
the intention of becoming citizens OF the
United States and they have sons born to them
those sons when they become OF age are en-
titled to all the privileges of citizens, being
native born. Children OF Chinese born in this
country, if of the male sex, have, when over
twenty-one years of age, in this State been
registered and have voted without having
taken out naturalization papers.
Music AND OPERA-M. s., City. 1t is impos-
sible TO absolutely state who was or is the
"most eminent musical composer of the
world" John Sebastian Bach might perhaps
be entitled to that distinction, but IL must be
remembered that Beethoven was the greatest
composer of symphonies, and the symphony
is generally considered the highest form of
MUSICAL composition. There are many who
consider Richard Wagner the greatest OF all
composers. The ten greatest oratorio writer's
have been classed as follows: Handel Bach,
Haydn, Gounod, Palestrina. MendelSsohn,
Carissime, Searlatti, Graun and Hasse. The
following named are cIassed as the ten greatest
ssymPhonists; Beethoven, Wagner. Mozart.
Haydn, Spohr, Schubert, Thalberg, Schu-
mann. Msschelles and Paderewski Distinc-
ton in the composition of grand opera is to
great extent matter of fashion, what one age
rejects, the other accepts. Fifty years ago
"Tannhauser" was Kissed off the stage and Ros-
sini's works were adored. Itseems now as If Ros-
SIM is in danger of being forgotten, while
Wagner needs no societies to propagate his
works. Several generations have considered
Mozart's operas the acme of good taste. put it
is the fashion in some musical circles to decry
them at present. 1t is impossible to say who
is "the supreme composer of grand OPERA" but
a glance of the repertoires of the leading opera
houses will give an idea of those who are con-
sidered supreme" at this time. The names
which occur most frequently are those OF Wag-
ner, Verdi and Gounod. A few years ago the
ten greatest writer's of opera were classed as
follows: Mozart, Rossini, Wagner, Meyerbeer,
Beethoven, Gluck, Picini, Verdi, Gounod ana
Douizetti.
