MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

Especial attention is called this week to two
Vienna masters of very different kinds of
music-Johannes Brahms and Johann Strauss.
Whlle the Waltz King has been triumphing at
the Theater an der Wien, in the seventy-thlrd
year OF his age, with a new operetta, as bril-
liant as anything he ever wrote, Johannes
Brahms. aged "a, has ended his musical labors
after long and painful illness. Brahms

tlon excepting the operatic. Opera and matri-
mony he avoided with equal persistency. He
shared with Beethoven the degree of NJ. B.,

said, sit is as with opera. If / had already
composed an opera and, for al care, seen it
iail, would certainly write another. But
can't make up my mind to first marriage or
a first opera The theater simply had no at
traction for him. Not infrequently he
would rise to leave after the first
act OF an opera. with the remark
to his companion: ''You know l understand
nothing about the theater." Brahms thought

THE CITY ELECTIONS.

Mr.. Bryan has telegraphed to Carter
Harrison, the successful Democratic can
didate for Mayor uf Chicago: Accept
congratulations upon your magnificent
victory. The elections in Chicago, Gin
cinnati, Detroit and other cities indicate
decided change in public sentiment since
Novem ber."
1t will be seen from this telegram that
Bryan is laying to his soul the f1attering
unction that the vote in Chicago means
that a large number of citizens have be-
come dissatisfied with the votes they cast
in Novem Der, and that if they had the
chance again they would now vote for
him instead of Mckinley. This opinion
is confined to Mr.. Bryan himself. 1t is
certainly not shared by Carter Harrison,
who in an interview sta ted that his vic
tory was the result of united and not
divided Democracy. 'Gold as well as sill
yer men," he said, "cast their ballots for
me-" There is no comfort in that state
ment for Mr.. Bryan, for if Bryan repre-
sents anything at all he represents di-
vided and not the united Democracy
which was successful al Chicago.
Nothing is more futile and foolish than
this effort of the dscredited leader of the
Democratic and Populist fusion to misrep-
resent the result of the elections in East
ern cities so as TO make them show a
change in public sentiment on the issues
which were submitted to the people in
November. City elections are always de-
termined by local issues. The Republi-
can party in Chicago was hopslessly di
vided. The divisions, however. were
occasIoned wholly on matters of local
politics. National affairs had nothing
whatever to do with them. There was no
contest concerning the tariff, the money
question or any other great National pol
icy. The fight was a purely local one and
the Democratic candidate succeeded sim
ply because his opponents were divided
while his own supporters were thoroughly
united, aggressive and determined to win.
Whatever comfort the old Democratic
party may draw from the result in
some of the cities where elections have
been held the Popocratic fusion party
| can find none. The only city in which
an effort was made to continue their
fusion In the local elections was
in st. Louis, and there it resulted in dis
astrous failure. st. Louis is normally a
strongly Democratic community. In the
recent election an attempt was made TO
bring the gold wing of Democracy into
harmony with the silver and the Populist
wing, but the result was that the nearer
they "got together" the more antagonistic
they became. Harmony was impossible
The fusion went to pieces and the party
went to defeat.
Even the most casual study of the re-
turns from the various cities will show that
| the Bryan movement had nothing what.
ever to do with the ten porary Democratic
successes. Mr.. Bryan may fatter himself
that his prospects have been frightened
by the vote. but he will find himsel m s.
taken. There has been no change in pub
lie sentiment since November

same opinion. They say that Bruneau has

is to be regretted that he scored the trivial
realism OF the language used by Zola's peas

"Eh, my friend, is it forbidden to have more

1t does not seem as if excessive realism were
much better than the books of the old Italian

SIGNS OF BETTER TIMES.

While the revival ef industry from the
depression caused by the Democratic
tariff is slow, as was foreseen by all in
telligent men. it is, nevertheless, progress
ing steadily, and in no part of the Union
are signs lacking that the hard times are
passing away, and better conditions re-
turning TO all classes of trade and in
dustry.
We called attention short time ago to
the statement OF Factory Inspector Camp
bell of Pennsylvania that 100000 more
persons are at work in that State now
than there were six months ago. This in
itself shows a notable improvement in in
dustrial conditions, sin ce it is clear that if
there has been such large increase in
employment in one State of the Union,
there must be a similar improvement in
other communities.
Reports from the Southern States an
nounce the erection there OF large num-
Der of new cotton. mills and the enlarge
ment of tn ose already in operation. Along
the lake States there are DEVELOPMENTS in
the construction of commercial buildings
of a II sorts, and some of them are of quite
a notable character. One OF these is the
beginning of the erection at Buffalo of
steel elevator with capacity of 5000, ,0OO
bushels. An elevator of steel is some
thing in the way of an experiment, and if
it proves successful will lead to the erec-
ton of large number of others of the
same kind, so that the time may not be
far distant when the ld-fashioned wooden
elevator will cease to exist.
The large orders which have been given
for steel rails assure an immediate con-
struction of a large number of new rail-
roads or the repair of old ones. 1t is said
that the orders sent in for rails during the
first two months OF this year exceeded the
total amount of orders given during the
whole twelve months of1896 The outlook
for the steel and iron industry, therefore,
is better than it has been since the Wilson
tariff was enacted, and as the iron and
steel industry has ever been regarded as
safe standard for measuring the business
prosperity OF the country, it becomes evil
dent that the revival is going on
much faster than some pessimists would
have US believe.

DREARY IMBEOILITY.

THE Democratic criticisms Of the new
tariff says the Inter Ocean, "are dreariIy
mbecile." The language is strong but
what else can be said O! criticisms that
are essentially i'm beetle in argument and
most vapidly dreary in language. No
other phrase can so accurately present the
exact nature OF the attacks which the
free trade orators and organs are now
making upon the bill which is designed to
provide protection for our industries and
an adequate revenue for our Government.
The Examiner of yesterday furnished an
example OF these criticisms. 1t declared
the Dingiey tariff to be "the M ost 1eac-
tiolary, the most barbarous, the most
stupidity, wantonly and meddlesomely op-
pressive in the whole history of American
fiscal legislation" These statements
made in the face of facts so well known to
the people are certainly to be character
lied by no other phrase than that used by
the Inter Ocean.
Had the language of the Examiner been
applied to the Wilson tariff, the people
would have recognized it as fairly ac-
curate statement of the truth. That tariff
nearly bankrupted the Government, COM
PEELED four bond issues to raise money,

principal and interest which, before it i,

$5C0,000,o0O. The Dingley tariff on the
contrary, provides a revenue sufficient to
meet the needs OF the Government and to
pay off the debt imposed by the Demo-
| cratic tariff. 1t will open a way, more
over, for the annual payment of $500, ,000, 600
in wages to American labor.
The New York Sun has said: 1.-THE
tariff reformers made such a fist of it
with their lying and disastrous Wilson
tariff, that for very shame they now
should cease from boring the public with
their dreary preaching" This statement
of the Sun we recommend to the Examiner
and all other free-trade organs in the
country. P'ople have grown weary of the
cry that tariff is tax and that protec-
ton fosters trusts. Tney have had ex-
perience with both kinds of tariffs, and
they desire a return to the protection
which is embodied In the Dingley bill.
The Republican National platform
clearly expressed public sentiment on this
subject in saying, THE country dem ands
right settlement and then it wants
rest" The right settlement is furnished
by the Dingley tariff, which was supported
in the House not only by all Repu blican
mem bers but by several of the most pro-
gressive Democrats from the South. The
next thing demanded is rest. Above all
the people desire rest from dreary imbe
cility OF criticism
