The ola Gag About Prosperity.

We are sorry to see that prosperity is at
it's old tricks again. 1t is making a careless
and happy people forget their political duties
So Postmaster General Smith informs us. He
saw the thing distinctly working that way
on his Western trip. Everywhere big crops
good prices, a prosperous and contented peo-
pie, but mo time for politics''-that is,
no time for Republican politics. The DEM
ocrats are taking artful advantage Of pros
perfty to work desperately for success
How they get time for politics is not ex-
planned. Perhaps prosperity is distributed on
g strictly partisan basis, and no Democrat
need apply. 1t may be that no Kansas farmer
is allowed to have any prosperity at all eX-
cept on the recommendation of the county
committee, vised by 'the cid man. This
would naturally leave the Democrats with
time just hanging heavy on their hands, and
they would put it all in working desperately
for success, while the unconscious Repuh-
Hcans were counting up their gains and max
ing bonfres of cancelled mortgages This.
however shows what mistake it Is to draw
party lines in prosperity.
If we were "prosperity's advance agent"
we would be just sly enough to make tho
Democratic wheel-horses so rich and pros
porous that they, too, would have no time
for politics. Or else we would instantly take
away prosperity from the people whom it
only made apatheic and thank.ees
Evidently the present system is wrong. We
saw how it worked in 1890 and 1892. Nc
Kinley and Harrison made the country roll
In wealth, and the only political result was
that the Republicans forgot to vote. The
postmaster-genera plainly fears that the
same thing will occur this year. He pro
poses to change all this however by max.
ing one speech in Cincinnati on the Saturday
before election But will not such a living
picture as he is of the prosperity resulting
from McISiniey's election make even more
voters declare that they have no time for
politics New York Evening Post.

The Library Fund Concerts.

Arrangements have been concluded
by Edward F'eldhauser in connection
with the Library Schubert CLUB series
Of concerts for the benefit of the public
library fund. The Theodore Thomas
orchestra will, Of course, be the chief
foreign attraction, and most advanta-
geous terms were concluded for bring
ing this organization hare. The lowest
figure at which it could be secured
for a single concert was 81, 000-but a
contract was closed providing for two
additional performances, one in the
evening and another for matinee. The
dates fixed are Thursday and Friday
evenings. Dec l and 2, and Saturday
afternoon, Dec. 3.
Tomorrow the sale will commence Of
1000 special exchange tickets, good for
the entire series of seven concerts to
be given in aid of the library fund, at
a. cost Of $625. These tickets include
the first Thomas concert, and tickets
for the other evening and the matinee
performance will be sold at $1.75, thus
making the cost to holders of exchange
tickets only $3.50 for the three Thomas
concerts, or an average Of 80 cents
each Our local columns state where
the tickets can be procured.
The concerts will be given in the
Peoples church, on Pleasant avenue.
It is not often that st. Paul is favor
ed with so excellent an opportunity to
patronize and enjoy the high-class
music Of an orchestra Of this recog-
niZed standard. The prices Of tickets
have been purposely fixed upon basis
which would enable every lover of good
music to avail hifn or herself Of this
visitation. It remains for the people
to express their appreciation by lib
eral patronage Of the enterprise which
is promoted with the merltorlous object
Of Mastering the upbuilding. of fund
which shall secure for st. Paul a decent
housing place, for the public library.
