JAPANESE MUSIC.

It's Finest Climaxes Are Crashes of
Silence.
To one who never heard il 1t is impossi-
bic to give a definite idea of Japanese
music. and to one who hears it fer the first
time 1t must either repel or strangely at
tract. For It's fantastic intervals and frac-
tional tones demand a totally new sense of
musical apprecia lion and call into being a
rev set of musical sensations. Notes and
vibrations unknown In our scale of sound
emerge from some mysterious center and
play upon nerves hitherto dormant and un-
divided by Us. while from the throat of the
singer issue cadences belonging not to the
western voice but awakening in the nearer
cognitions more haunting and more intangi-
be than these of q forgotten dream 1t Is
as If an hitherto closed door between sense
and spirit had been suddenly thrown open
One feels that II reincarnation be true one
might through this door alone remember
ana reconstruct those vanished existences.
Only in the tones of their own unguisu, a
bird which has but three notes, have I
heard anything SO occult.
Japanese music Is like Japanese art
which. with its unperceived spirit sense
and symbolism. its strange method OF brush
handling, might seem merely -grotesque at
first. but which gradually reveals to the
initiated eye mysteries within mysteries of
artis.ic a. % form and perception, until present.
rev art world where technique Is subordf-
mated to feeling and whose finest effects
are obtained through the art OF omission
AS, for instance, In the greatest paintings
OF Fu3iyama the sacred mountain itself is
discovered to be the bare white unpainted
silk. as II color and line could be but the
boundaries and outer confines Of pure iso-
lated Idea. So In Japanese music, Its meth
ods are not ours. Its climaxes come In
crashes Of silence, In sustained and sound
less pause, the notes SuDOrdfnated to q sd-

The variety OF wasted machinery and r0t-
ting property is indescribable. I crun,ble'l
up wooden cars beds with my fingers. ana
walked a mile or so on discarded and rust
ed machinery near the Atlantic mouth Of
the canal. saw sheds filed with costly
but now comparatively useless engines. and
as looked at the evidences of waste and
extravaganza all about me could not help
thinking of the thrifty peasants, or the
Woolen Stockings of France, as De Les
seps used to call them. from where the
most OF this vast sum came. The French
of1cials poured out money here for years.
They bought everything by wholesale.
when the old company stopped work they
had on hand, amorg other things, $50 doat-
1ng derricks. $50 towboats ard launches.
6Ooo iron dumping wagons, 100 miles of
railroad track fer the canal work. ard over
1000 cars. This, You must remember, was
scattered along distance rot much great
er than that between New York and Baltt-
EIore. They had built beautiful cottages
on every mill and slightly place from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. There were 5000
buildings aloLg the line of the canal, and
some OF these are occupied by negroes to-
0ay. They had constructed quarters for
oo.oco workmen. They had 40 steam
pumps, 2O0 reservoirs ard more than 100
miles OF water pipe. Most Of this stuff IS
useless now. and a vast amount has been
u rown aside, as the freights are so high

measured up part of the Chagres river
IN section of his excavation contract and
by col.usion with the French accountants
made fortune. Houses which you could
put up at home for 5000 were charged for
here at $4,000 and $4,000. 1 drove out
this afternoon to the Pacific mouth of the
canal past big frame cottage not as good
as many $1,000 house in the suburbs of
Boston. which ! was told cost its owner
800 900, and as we passed by 1t a resident
banker of Panama, who has long done
business here and whose guest 1 was for
the time, said: THE same man who built
that house constructed this three niles of
road on which we are riding, and what do
you think it cost?"

The Work of Trusts,

There is growing sentiment among
business men, that the trust is some
thing that must be destroyed 1t be-
gins to dawn upon them. that in some
way unknown to them. it is having a
serious effect upon their business that
while the trust can control the output of
the product, thereby controlling the
price, and the price of labor, 1t does in
some way hinder trade. Of course they
do not see, at least not many of them,
that the trust of money, transportation,
and the means of intelligence are the ba-
sic roots; nor do they see the necessity
of ceasing to vote with-a party that up
holds them, yet the progress they are
making is encouraging to say the least.
Time alone is required to develop their
outspoken opposition; when they reach
that point, voting right will soon follow
The Jeffersonian.

ratify all laws, and ktiate all meas
ures for their reliefsE This is no idle
dream, the public mini is already near
ing perfect development for the insai-
tuition of such system in our country.
We will give tip to our big and little
shylocks that the day of making for
tunes out OF the necessities of the peo-
pie is fast approaching an end. When
the people once get whack at the law
making question, they will make Uncle
Sam, make his own money, run the rail-
roads, telegraphs, telephones, mine the
coal and oil for it's distribution to them
at cost. Then and not until then will
the people acquire justice. Pray for the
coming of that great day, but don't do
as the average prohibitionist does, pray
that God will destroy the liquor traffic
and then at every opportunity vote to
sustain 1.-THE Jeffersonian.
