ENCOURAGING NEGRO MUSIC.

The New York Age is authority for
the statement that Mrs. jeanette NJ.
Thurber, the founder of the American
Conservatory of Music, has been so
impressed with DIR. Dvorak's ideas
concerning the develnpmental value Of
the negro ''spirituals' as foundations
for true American music that she will
found 4 special school for the en-
enlargement and study of negro mu-
sic. The Age further declares that
the proposed school will be conducted
by, as well as for, negroes, and will
have n large permanent chorus under
the direction of Z. B. Kinney, a pupil
of DR.. Dvorak. This project is the
most important result yet noted as
following the great Bohemian compos-
er's recent sojourn in America
DR.. Antonin DvOrak came TO this
country as the confessed champion of a
new school of American music Soon
after his arrival he composed his now
we'll known American symphony in E
symphony is the crystaIiza ton of Dvo-
rak's impressions of what he considers
the native clement in American music,
and 50 far it remains as the sole ex-
qualification of his theory that there
is a sufficient basis in the INDIGENOUS
music of America to serve as foun-
dation for new and distinctly ma
tional school. His method was not to
treat familiar folk tunes dramatically
but TO reflect the unique spirit of the
music Of the New World. Thus he
chose the SyncOpated note. so promi-
nent in such songs as the "Old Folks
at Home" and also the pentatonic
phrasing. Objections have been urged
against this procedure on the ground
that the old Folks at Home" and
many Of the most popular sO-called
negro melodies were not written by
negroes III all but by Stephen J. Eos
ter. the Pennsylvanian song-writer.
Then. too. ii is claimed that the phras-
ing is as much Scotch as American.

scribes HiawaIha's wooing and Dr.
Dvorak has promised us an Indian OPP
era on LOngfellow'S theme

thus comented on his theory:
a while ago l suggested that inSpi-
ration fer truly national music might
be derived from the negro melodies
or Indian chants. ! was led 70 take
this view partly by the fact that the
so-oalled plantation songs are indeed

M'K1NLEY's CHICAGO SPEECH.

Governor McKinley's speech. deliv-
cred at the Lincoln's birthday celebra-
ton of the Marquette club, in Chicago,
is still much talked of. especially that
portion of it which lead up 10 the pO-
litical questions of the day. The gov
ernor said little of the money question
or Of any other issue, liable TO be of
prominence before the st. Louis con-
ventiOn and succeeding campaign. He
simply assumed that the tariff CUES
ton must be the leading issue. Upon
that question he declared that the two
leading political parties the Republi-
cans stood today just where they stood
in 1850. The Republicans today, he
said. could rea1firm and would reaffim
the Lincoln declaration of 1860 on the
question of protection TO American la
Dor and American interests. He then
quoted the tariff plank of the Repub-
hcan platform adopted by the second
national convention OF that party, say
ing that better protection no Repub-
hcan could ask or desire, and poorer
none should advocate or accept
Major Mckinley said the Republi
cans were not conuending for any par
ncular tariff law, or for any special
schedules or rates. but for the great
prnclpie-the American protective pol
lcy-the temporary overthrow of
which has brought distress and ruin
TO every part of our beloved country"
The rates of the Republican tariff
would, however, measure the differ
ence between American and European
conditions. and be fully adequate to
protect ourselves from the invasions
of our markets 10y oriental products.
TO the injury of American labor. and
10 promote and increase American pro
duction.
That is a declaration which indi-
Gates clearly Mckinley's purpose. if he
shall be the candidate of the Republi-
can party, 10 make the campaign on
the protection issue. Indeed. he de-
ciared that the Republicans this wear
would make the campaign on their own
ground. not on that of their opponents

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

Some months ago Tiger BiH, with a
flash of arms and a sound of trumpets
entered Wichita with the purpose of
reforming the city. His ideas of refor-
nation had not extended so far as to be-
come a personal matter with him but that
didn't make any difference. The town
was going TO the dogs, the people were
degenerating and Bills mission in life
was TO change all this and convert the
Peerless Princess into a veritable Utopia.
The people were satisfied with the exist
ing conditions, but the idea of consulting
the peoples wishes didn't penetrate Bits
epidermis. He took the bit between his
teeth, threw his head up and went ahead
with that singleness ofpurpose character
istic of iong-eared. raw-boned 2-year old
donkey
Bill has suddenly realized that he has
been buttiag his head up against a stone
wall. The idea is beginning TO dawn up
on his clouded mental vision that the peo-
pie after all have something to do with
the case.
The citizens of Wichita are unalterably
opposed to prohibition. All efforts to Sc
cure conviction of any one charged with
violating the law will of course fall fat
if not prove utterly futile.
This case has valuable object lesson
in it. 1t demonstrates that Governor
Morrill, was right when he declared no law
could be enforced in the face of local SEN
timent. 1t demonstrates that the people
are the source of power. What they say
goes. They are above Tiger Bill. Richard
h.a Ia Of
Wichita know what they want. Let them
have it, Quit molesting them. Let the
people rule.-Topeka Press.

DEMoNETIzE THE STUFF.

Harper's Weekly, discussing the preba-
BILE increase in the annual production OF
gold, says that it means such a none
tary expansion or imitation as not even
the Populistic dreamer has dared enter
tain in his most Pefferian reveries." Well,
this is awful. To think that after our
gold standard friends have plotted and
planned so successfully TO bring about a
contraction of the currency, that they
should find themselves by their own con-
trivance belly-deep in the morass OF
cheap money and Populistic imitation,
Ii would be the very irony OF fate If the
golden. yellow apples should thus turn 10
ashes upon their lips. Our gold STANDARD
friends tell US that silver IS unfit for
money because il is produced in too
great abundance; yet we are confronted
with the awful prospect that the Old Re
liable is to be poured forth in such PEI
ferian abundance that the monetary cir
culation viii be inflated like balloon
Unless something is done 10 suppress
these Populistic gold standard imitation
lists, isn't there serious danger that they
