DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
CROCUS HILL CLUB.

One hundred of the most prominent of the
musical people of the city gathered in the
handsome rooms of Crocus Hill club last
evening in attendance on Lenten musicale,
which proved to be one of the most delight
full Of any of the many lpcal musical events
given this season. Many of the best artists
In the city contributed to the programme,
which was very we'll arranged.
Mrs. d. +. De Wolf was heard In a varied
selection of songs. giving scope for the
display Of her dramatic voice, which has
improved in many ways since her study
abroad. She sang as an opening number the
"Hindoo Song" from Bemberg, giving as an
encore Chaminade's "Silver Ring the touch
OF pathos apparent at its close being pref
tily dispeled by gay duet number for the
piano. pas des Cymbales," also by ChaHiiIl-
ade. given by Miss Morton and Mrs. Candy.
Mrs. De Wolf was also heard In an old
German song and selection from Schubert.
D. F. Colviiie sang selections from Goun-
DDS 'tFaust." and also from Awkward. Os-
good and Billiard, and Mrs. H. r. Curtiss
and Miss Marie Hartsnck gave duet num-
Der from Raft.
Miss May Strong was warmly received In
piano solo from Chopin, which she played
with her usual good style and fine finish.
Miss Zenzius, Mrs. Curtiss, Miss Hartsinck
and Miss Talman gave the opening number, a
piano quartette, by Rubnstein. Following
the programme there were refreshments and
a social hour.

No Pride of Ancestry.

Unlike other political PARTIES the Pro-
hibitionist, like the mule, has no pride
of ancestry, and. like it, let us trust,
no hope of posterity. Democracy roots
back to colonial days, rich in their
stories of insistent individualism, while
Repubiicanism and Populism can find
their sources in the parentaIism that
drove the colonists across seas, and.
later, into rebellion. ut when the Pro
hibitionist turns the pages of colonial
history he finds there ancestral traces
only for his impulse to legislate men
and women into sobriety, in the laws.

rlr. w. w. Erwin's Aspirations.

Mr.. Erwin, more Familiarity known
over the state as the Tall Pine, pre-
sents himself to the voters of ST. Paul
as a candidate for their suffrages for
the Office of chief magistrate of the
city. In doing this he is but making
use of the prerogative of every citizen.
Happily, not every one avails him.
self of the right, and those who do
frequently cause their acquaintance
to marvel at what, to them, seems an
act of audacity. But no free-born
American is obliged to obtain first the
concensus of his acquaintance opinion
as to his qualifications for nomination,
however inescapably he has to bend
to their final judgment, expressed by
their silent ballots.
So Mr.. Erwin is strictly within his
rights, so far. But certain conven-
tionalities require that he select some
one or more of the several party or
CARNATIONS as the medium through
which his name may be formally pre-
scented to the voters. If Mr.. Erwin is
a Democrat, it is to that party and it's
nominating convention that he should
address himself; if a Populist, to that;
If Republican, to that. So far, he
has offered himself as the candidate
Of an organization that the court de-
cided, two years ago, had no legal ex-
istence. This is due, of course, to Mr.
Erwin's long utilization with various
other parties than the Democratic, and
is an error he will doubtless discover
and retrieve.

convert to it's ancient and honorable
principles and policies, but it also re-
CURED a novitiate, during which the
convert might gain knowledge Of what
Democracy is. He was expected to sit
for a while on the anxious seat until
the stability OF his change was estab-
lished, and then he was RENTED to one
of the back seats for further instruc-
ton, working his way to the front row
as his merits let him. Possibly the
tumultuous state of opinions in the
party during the two past years makes
this old canon obsolete and renders it
feasible for an unwashed Republican
to enter the very sanhedrim of the De-
mocracy and officiate there. Still we
apprehend there will be found num-
bers who adhere to the old rule, who
will look askance at the advent of this
late Republican and later Populist and
latest Republican again, into their
party as a candidate for the chief Of
flee of the city which it will have to
bestow. Mr.. Erwin should accompany
his offer of service with political dia-
gram, or, at the least, with some con-
vincing evidence that he has the slight
est conception of what Democracy is.
He has not, in a somewhat lengthy
public career, given any.

The ST. Paul School Unions.

In this mornings G b e will be
found a complete narrative of the
school unions Of this city, their in
auguration, purposes, work and sue
cess. They had their rise in the work
similar organizations had accomplished
in other cities, and in the feeling that,
While the condition of our schools did
not present the scope of effort open to
unions in other cities where the school
system had not been in such COM
petent hands, still there was a wide
field of usefulness in bringing into
closer relations the teachers and par
entS, and especially in acquainting the
latter with the new methods in educa
ton. The harsh criticisms that had
been passed upon these methods by
those who measured the present by
their past, and regarded any improve
ment as an innovation of a novelty
loving age, made this a useful field for
the unions to occupy. AS a result of
the years efforts there is much less
said now of "fads' than there was,
and, as the unions grow in membership,
the opposition to the truer education
of the day Will melt away before an
appreciation of its excellence.
One of the surprising conditions into
which communities generally have
lapsed relative to the schools is the
complete trustfulneSS of the parents.
No concern of their lives appeared to
touch them Nss closely than did the
nature of the care given their children
during six hours of the day. Except
&c 10; ,,t nf t,ao t,,,o,
reused interest and, sometimes, inter-
vention, no attention was given 70
them during school hours and very lit
tie either to their instruction or those
who gave it. The result was an isola-
ton of the teachers, a lack of contact
with parents. One purpose of the
unions is to correct this; to bring
teacher and parent into closer touch;
to secure for the schools that cooper
alton that comes from mutual &C
quaintance and understanding. In this
a fair measure of success has been
achieved in the year since the move
ment was launched.
All such movements are ponderous
and grow slowly, but the promoters of
our unions have every reason to feel
gratified, both in the membership
reached, the number of unions estab-
lished and in the growing interest TAX
en- in them by parents. Initial meet
ings were sparsely attended, but the
difficulty of the later ones is to get in
our schools seating capacity for those
who come. The success attained gives
pronEsoe of greater utility in the future.
TheiE purposes and methods of work
certainly commend themselves to the
support of every parent who sends
child to the public school.
