We are to have Nordica, the great
American dramatic soprano, in Sacra-
mento tomorrow night in concert. The
Cleveland Leader says: No singer,
with the possible exception of Adelina
Patti, has struck so affectionate and
responsive chords in the hearts Of
Americans as has this beautiful woman
and great artist. The fact is now al
most generally conceded that she is
practically without a rival in her work,
and when it is remembered that she is
an American girl, the fact is all the
more interesting. At the last Bay
reuth festival Nine. Nordica far sur
passed the German prima donnas With
whom she came in competition. A
chief feature of tomorrow nights pro-
gramme will be the prima donna's aria
from Erkel's Hungarian opera enti-
tied est. Erszebeth," which she will
sing in the original Magyar, having
been taught that language by her hus-
band, Zoltan Doeme, who is Hunga-
rian nobleman. The text of the song
runs as follows in English:
Oh, Lord what, oh! what may now the
Kings intentions be?
Ali it's doubt that wild and sudden agl-
tation of my breast,
Since from my arms they tore the children
at the Kings beheSt-
My heart my heart is filled with such Ia
ment and wild distress,
AS only God alone is able to express.
Ali it's doubt, that wild and sudden agi-
tation of my breast,
Since from my arms they tore my children
at the Kings behest-
Since they tore the children from my
breast
All! sweet rays of hope, like rainbow
smiles, are shining from the sky,
And happiness awaits me now-my chill
dren shall not die;
On me, this day, sweet rays of hope, like
rainbow smiles do beam;
On me- this day, smile rays of hope-ah,
sweet rays of hope, with bright ana
friendly CLEAN,
And happiness awaits me now-my chill
dren shall not die;
Sweet rays of hope now smile on me like
rainbows from the sky.

Richmond's Example.

Richmond is a solid old city, and she
is moving forward with her Industries
and commerce. But she is not satisfied,
and proposes to adopt some up+to-date
measures. The Richmond Dispatch
says:
"Our chamber of commerce is taking
steps to establish a fully equipped bu-
reau for the promotion of business en-
terprises The movement is opportune
for this city, and the movement has in
an extraordinary degree the enthusa as
tic backing of the public. Lit Is an evil
dence of Richmond's public spirit, and
of the determination of our people that
if energy and unity of action can avail
our past business successes shall be eX-
celled by those of the near future.
Last year was characterized by an
exciting presidentian campaign, which
greatly interfered with the business of
the whole country; yet we had in opera
ton here 9S4 manufactures, great and
small employing 1886 hands. and hav-
ing an output of the value of $S1 1853 665.
If we were able to do so muon wnen
times were so bad, what may we not
do when we have to put forth our best
efforts and when we are favored by
better conditions?
"Such bureau as the chamber of
commerce proposes to organize would
bring tOSeUDer our HoHle cdpitallstS vi
whom there are many and other in
vestors, and would be the means of CIV
ing l,fe and vigor to many hopeful en-
terprfses''
THE Age-Herald, months ago, suggest
ed such a bureau for Birmingham, and
indeed for every growing southern city.
In this city bureau of information,
we'll equipped with timely statistics re-
lating to the real estate, business and
industrial interests of this region, would
add enterprise, population and capital
to Birmingham every year.
When a conservative city like Rich
mond tries this plan of local advertising
it is time for some of her sister cities
to be doing the same.

THE AGE HERALD
Once Foes. Now Friends.

Thomas L. Higgins, a Union veteran,
OF Hannibal, NO., has just received a
medal for distinguished bravery during
the war, and he is indebted for it 10 the
testimony of some ex-Confederaltes. Tt
seems that on a certain day, when Hig
gins regiment charged the Confederate
breastworks around Vicksburg, he was
the color bearer, and was captured by
the Second Texas regiment and released
on parole The surviving Confederates
who were present made the affidavits
upon which the old Federal veteran re-
ceived his medal of honor from the sec
rotary of war.
Those Confederates were delighted to
see their brave foeman rewarded, and
their spirit animates all the sold, ers who
once wore the gray. AS rule, when the
war ended, THE southern troops quit
fighting and went to work to build up
the country. The old bitterness be-
tween the sections has been kept alive
by a few demagogues and their follow
ers.
Except when they are provoked by I'M
necessary interference and oppression,
the southern people are remarkably
friendly and hospftable to their former
opponents

Education and Crime.

The New York World is allowing its
readers to express thlsfr opinions in re-
gard to the disputed question whe uher
education lessons crime. The opinions
seem to be about equally divided, and
strong points are made on both Sides.
The truth must be admitted that such
education as prevails these days does
not lessen crime. In the north, and in
Germany, where the masses have. en-
joyed free education for generations,
me prisons are filled with educated men
and women. People who are naturally
of wicked tendency have their capaci-
ty for evil increased by education
This can be seen here in the south.
Many negro convicted of forgery or
some skMlful swindle would not have
been able to commit such crimes If he
had not been educated.
Bul is this an argument against edu-
cation? By no means. 1t only shows
that the present system is defective.
It's chief fault consists in educating the
fns idlectua1 side of the young, amid ig-
morning their moral side. With good and
able teachers, studying each ch9Nd's ma
ture, and earnestly trying to stimulate
his conscience and strengthen his moral
faculties ihe pupil would grow up
model citizen, unless he should happen
to be a pervert
Even this system would not make all
msn and women honest, moral and law
abiding, burt 1t would do much to make
them SO. Education forms The common
mfnd,'' the poet says, and it is true. SO
moral education forms the morality of
the common man.
The education of THE future will rec
ognlze this fact. 1t is not enough to
have children master a lot of literary
text books. They need heart cul.ure,
and as they spend SO much of their
lives in the schools they mus. get this
training there. Many of them newer get
1T at home. Education must be on a
broader basis before the people can ex-
pect to see 1t diminish crime.

Women Suffrage a Failure.

The late elections I'm Sail Lake City
showed that a woman candidate for an
Office cannot expect Ito receive the vote
of htr own sex. "a citizen of that place
said to a Washington Posi- reporter the
other day:
"There were three ladies contesting for
office-one "a candidate for recorder and
the other two for auditor. Had the
women VOTERS given their sisters any
thing like THE support anticipated, two of
the thine would have been elected to i'm
portrait municipal offices, for which all
were highly competent. The effect will
be to discourage women from running
for office in Utah her after and partl 8
will not nominate ;lnem for positions
unless there is an understanding that
every ticket in the field shlall present a
woman Candidate for the same office.
No parity cam afford to put up womtarr
againsu a man, when I'm the kght of this
experience 1t means loss to the ticket
of from 800 to 1000 votes, no matter how
superior the woman may be In point of
fitness"
This settles the fare of women cauda-
dates. No party will dane to risk them
ut is strange that this should occur i'm a
community where the women were so
anxious for the privilege of suffrage. II
