The Maine Men.

\ few days ago the members of the
senate elected Mr.. Frye TO the office of
president pro tempore. and the proceed
ing was attended with the utmost good
feeling-the impression appeared 10 be
that Mr.. Frye was the right man for
the place.
Some Of the newspapers find fault
with the selection made by the sena-
tors. They raise no objection to Mr.
Frye himself. but they insist that
Maine is getting more than the lions
share. Maine has the office for which
Mr. Frye was lately elected. II has
the speakcrship in the house. The
manager on the floor Of the house of
representatives, is Mr.. DinEIey. of
Maine Representative Boutcile and
Representative Millikcn have commit

The EipuroS For II.

We have reached the season or the
year when some Of our republican
contemporaries, right here in free
silver section, will undertake to prove
that yesterdays vote in the house OF
representatives is another assurance
that silver's hope is in the republican
party
The summary in this mornings dis
patch, in analysis of yesterdays VOTE
shows that 1S4 republicans and 81 dem
ocrats voted against the senate's silver
bill, while 2S republicans and So demo-
Gratis voted for it, In the house OF
representatives there are 244 repub-
licans and 105 democrats. Thus very
nearly so per cent. of the republicans
in the house voted against silver, while
about 30 per cent Of the democratic
members did the same. Not all the
congressman voted. But about % per
cent. of the house democrats were true
to silver; less than 10 per cent of the
republicans were right.
( 1t is the old story. Whatever strength
the cause of silver has i'm congress Is
| largely the contribution of democrats
that has always been the case. II
will interest us To notice how some OF
our local contemporaries of republican
persuasion will deal with yesterday
results Probably they will begin t'
shout louder than ever for protection

The Case Against rammo d..

The main charge against John Hayes
Hammond is that he is one of five who
wrote to DR. jameson inviting him 10
make the invasion. The letter sets
forth the condition of things in the
Transvaal it describes how the set
tiers were embarrassed and imposed
upon by the Boer government until
there was a spirit of great discomfort
abroad. and in the opinion of the
writer's the government had called into
existence all the elements necessary
for an armed conflict. The letter con-
cludes:
The one desire of the people here is for
fair play and the maintenance of their
public liberties, without which life is not
worth living. The government denies
these things and violates the national
sense of Englishmen at every turn What
We have TO consider is what will be the
condition of things here, i'm the event of
conflict, with thousands of unarmcd men,
women and children of our race. They
will be at the mercy of wcll-armed Beers,
while property OF enormous value would
be in the greatest peril We cannot con-
template the future without the gravest
apprehension, and feel that we are justi-
fled in taking steps to prevent the she'd
ding OF blood, TO ensure the protection of
our rights.
II is under these circumstances that We
feel constrained To call upon you to come
10 our aid should a disturbance arise
here. The circumstances are SO extreme
that We cannot avoid this step. and we
cannot hut believe that You will not fail
to come to the rescue Of the people who
would nr SO situated. We guarantee any
expense that may Ice incurred by you in
helping Us. and ask you To believe that
nothing but The sterncst necessity has
prompted this appeal
This letter was signed by Charles
Leonard. Francis Rhodes. Lionel Phil
lips. John Hayes Hammond and George
Farrar None Of these were citizens Of
the Boer republic. They were of the
/ outsiders, who all the same outnum-
bered the actual citizens, and whose
demand of the right to participate in
the government led to the trouble.
But. the merits Of the invasion aside,
| the letter leaves Hammond in a tight
/ box

PADEREwsKI's METHODS.
How He Produces the singing Tone "a
often Commented Upon.

often tom nenteu tpOh'
From the Pianist.
The supreme achievement of PadereW-
skis technique is it's demonstration that
the singing tone" and perfect control OF
every variety of tone color are possible In
all circumstances, no matter how DIM
cult the passage This is said to be the
explanation of the wonderful witchery OF
sound which he produces. There was
time when it was considered sufficient TO
play a rapind running passage or in
yolyed phrases smoothly. accurately ana
without pounding. But that has not salts
fled Mr.. Paderwesk. He has held the
theory that the singing tone must be
preserved at all hazards and his study
has been 20 perfect the digital facility to
that end. Ills control of the strikink force
of his fingers is masterful. His employ
ment of the different positions of hngers,
wrists and forearms is always correct
and its results are perfect. Piamsts KNOW
that some teachers advocate the eleVa-
ton of the back of the hand and others
it's depression. Mr.. Paderewsh uses
either position, according to the tone he
desires to produce, and his pedaling Is
simply beyond description. He seems 10
do almost as much playing with his feet
as with his hands, and ii is all for the
sake of tone color for it is the combina-
ton of expert pedaling with the variety
of touch that colors the tones.
But even the singing tone would be-
come monotonous were there no rythm in
the playing. Rhythm in piano playing re-
solves itself into correct timing ana ac-
centuation. Every note must have its
proper duration or the rhythm Is as
turbed Every tone must be sounded
with the correct dynamic relationship TO
those which precede it and those which
follow it, or the rhythm disappears.
Further than that the contours of the
melodies are spoiled. The phrasing is
disarranged and the musical outline or
the composition is distorted. Rhythm is,
of course, primarily a matter of artistic
Judgment, but il is conveyed TO the near
er by the blows of the fingers and is the
mechanical result of absolutely Just as
tribution of force. 1t is therefore depend
ent on the same technical accomplish
ments as tone color. Mr.. Paderewski s
rhythm is flaw less. He never ohends the
most tudicious listener either in quality
or dynamics, but on the contrary acceh-
/ tuates in such a manner that the phras-
| ing of a composition comes out in the
4 cearest possible light.

not kept pace with the majority of the
commemorative in the Union. Names
population is about Col 900; it was al
most 100000 as long ago as 1850. The
population Of New York has just about
doubled since 1850; Connecticut has
more than doubled; Massachusetts has
increased by about 10 per cent.-these
are three Of the "old states"
But in Maine. especially in recent
times, the cultivation of politics has
been thrifty. A few weeks ago. when
Mr.. Dingley was made floor manager in
the house, the Standard pointed out the
reasons for Names successes in the
political field. 1t is simply this: the
constituencies in Maine send pretty
good men to congress and keep them
there. Mr.. Boutelle is serving his
seventh term in the house, Mr.. Milliken
has the same number of terms to his
credit and so has Mr.. Dingley. Mr..
Reed has had eighteen years in the
house. After six successive elections to
house membership Mr.. Frye was pro-
NOTED to the senate fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Hale was elected senator in 1881,
after several terms in the house.
Thus it happens that Maine men get
the benefit of long experience. There is
! little doubt that Speaker Reed was dis
posed to select a New Yorker for the
| Craftsmanship of the house ways and
means committee; in fact, no good man
! for that position was in sight among
/ the New York contingent The state
| of New York has thirty-four members
/ in the house-we doubt whether the
average reader of current politics can
name three of them offhand.
There are stronger men in the house
of representatives than those who make
up the Maine delegation, but no other
state has better aggregate strength.
