The Cherokees have some rea-
son to be satisfied with the present
state of affairs. Their individual
rights are better protected than
when under the jurisdiction Of
their own tribunals, and their
property rights have not and can
not be molested. And further and
better still, the United States gov
ernment is paying about all the
expenses.

Easter Ladies Home Journal.

The April Ladies Home Journal opens with d drawing by Alice Barber Stephens of an Easter morning in a church choir. Several other illustrations also take the great fcstal day for a theme, and an article on "The Last Week in the Life of Christ, giving the in- cidents of the Saviour's persecu- ton and erucifxion, is especially apropos of Holy Week. A feature of novel interest is the illustrated anecdotai biography of Thomas A. Edison, i'll which the characteris- tic traits of the great inventor are told in series of anecdotes. Joseph Bonaparte's flight to America and solourn here Is recalled in an arti- ele, "When the King of Spain Lived on the Banks of the Sehuyl- kill. Miss Lillian Bell writes from Berlin her impressions of the Germans and the Fatherland.
 Julia Magruder's novelette, "A Heaven-Kissing Hill, is be- gun in the Easter Journal; 1t is the romance of one of the most beautiful of New York belles and talented young gartist. Robert ]. Burdette' S "Mending-Basket" is filled with the spirit of his homely philosophy, and "Why the White Farm Fail ed' Is quite as humorous in anoth- CT vein. "A Cabinet Member $ Wife's letters are continued, and another view of "Inside of Hun- dred Homes" is given. Edward w. Box writes of the sacredness of the betrothal, and the lessons of the flowers; Barton Cheyney on Buying House without Cash, " and Mrs. Rorer on food and cook ing for children. Four special pages are devoted to flowers and home gardening, and there are half a score of practical articles on the home and it surroundings, all aimed to make them brighter and to help the busy housewife.

believe President Mckinley spoke as he Is reported, to accept his ac- tions in this trying emergency as animated by the high purposes and conscientious motives the express ion attributed to him implies. It is still more gratifying to believe that, striving to the best of his abil- ity to avert war, he will defend the dignity and fair name of the American people, keeping always in mind the great mission of this free nation and insisting that no bullying threats of other govern ments shall arrest the development of our purposes or seriously menace our future.
 In this spirit the American peo- pie await patiently the unfolding of President McKinley's policy in the proper time and the proper way. Every patriotic citizen of the United States anticipates with confident hope the speedy account ing the President will give of the stupendous responsibility now rest ing upon him.-Republic.

ton or rejection are submitted on the ballots. One of the amend ments provides for the levying of tax not exceeding three mills on the dollar to be used for roads and bridges and no other purposes.
 Such a provision makes it certain that the people will enjoy the ex- penditure of the tax on the roads and bridges of the county in which they live. It cannot be spent for anything else. We have all seen that it is impossible to maintain good roads under the present road system, and we are confident that the people of Arkansas will vote for the adoption of this amendment, will make 1t possible to build roads and make genuine bridges. This tax will not be burdensome to our home people, and at the same time 1t will force non-residents-who are large property holders and who at present contribute nothing to public roads-to pay their full share of taxes.-Monroe County Sun

caught the sweetest dreams from natures musicians. think thelr richest airs of mirth and gladness and joy were stolen from the,purling rivulet and the ripping river. l believe their grandest inspirations were born of the tempest, the thunder and the rolling pillows of an angry ocean. Music appeals to to the finer qualities of our nature. It interprets life to Us. We read love, pity, grief, passion, happiness and consolation in every measure. Music brings civilization up to a higher and better standard for il is fact that civilization keeps pace with the higher education in the finer arts.
 There have been nations without sculpture, without painting, with out architecture and there are some even without poetry, but never has there been nation without some form, however crude 1t may have been, of music. It would be almost if not quite impossible to find savage tribe so degraded that it has not a store of songs and some form of instrumental accompani- ment.
 The occasion on which music is employed and it's relations to social habits and observances are the same everywhere. If love of music should die out patriotism would lose half its enthusiasm and the spirit of worship would find that it had lost its best interpreter. All the functions of social life are ev. erywhere ldeallzed by the art oi song.
 Every nation has it's wedding marches and bridal songs every mother sings her child to sleep Music is almost invariably an art of joy, its pervading tone is one ot happiness. Music itself wher correctly studied tends to develop perception, intelligence and feel ing in this am sustained by a splendid array of thinkers from Confucius and Homer to Shakes, pear and Robert Browning anC others.

tribute to music as an art which uplifts the mind and diseipHnes emotion.
 The great trouble which here arises Is that the class of music which most people relish cannot possibly have refining and enoh= ling influence upon them and thst class of music which could exert such an influence remains mys- tery to them.
 It will not do for any one to take the stand that music in order to be understood does not requiIc any special education. Does n7t any science or art require it: Would you send your boy or girl to school, starting them in the Primary dept and expect them 10 be solving problems in Euclid r. the close of the first month: Would you have beginner in Latin reading Cicero at the end of the first week? You smile but verify that is the idea which is oftentimes prevalent in regard to music. Why should it be expected that music will fling itself upon an untutored mind2
 Music should be learned the sa+se as thinking and good manners and should receive the same amount of care and attention upon the part of parents.
 Prussia and Germany whose systems of education are said to be the finest in the world have com pulsory musical education
 The young man or young lady who fails to equip himself or her self with a musical education, ever at personal sacrifice, if necessary permits an opportunity to pass tho door, the loss of which they can nev CT estimate, but which they will fee keenly all their lives. With in numerable private teachers, public schools and conservatories at thei disposal, excuses are rare.
 Its social worth, its possibilities for the good of others, its refining qualities and its commercial worth to one's self are surely sufficient in centiyes to study music.

GENUINE PATRIOTISM

"Rather than be responsible for an unholy war l would see my ad- mininstration wrecked" " President Mckinley is reported to have de- clared to d Senator.
 No more patriotic utterance has been attributed to MT. Mckinley in the whole course of his public ca reer. It expresses exactly the feel ing that should dominate the chief magistrate of this Republic. It embodies the best thought of in telligent and broad-gauge Ameri- can citizenship. with such con clusion in mind, President Mckin- ley can approach the final settle ment of the serious question in volved in our dispute with Spain and our interest in Cuba in spirit of fairness, frankness and justice to every interest concerned. The re- puted declaration implies that back of it is that high spirit of efface- ment which asserted its sway in the momentous day of Cromwell and which found expression in the Self-Denying Ordinance enacted by the Crom wellian Parliament.
 The American people are bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh of the men who fought for human rights under Cromwell's $ in spring leadership. To this race, as to the Roundheads who met and vanquished the exultant hosts of arrogant royalty with pike and sword, war is thing of such savagery, of such barbarity, of such waste and woe as to be re- sorted to only when all other means of asserting the dignity and honor of manhood have failed. The ruler of country who involves its people in war assumes an awful responsibility. It is we'll that President Mckinley should recog nize the weight of this responsibili- ty and exert all the powers he can in decency and honor employ to avert war.
 And yet it is true there are some things worse than war. Among these would be servile submission where insult has been added to in- jury. There is line at which the American people will stop even in their earnest devotion to peace. They believe Mir. Mckinley knows where the line lies and mean to trust him until his acts give evi- dence that he is unworthy of trust. They will not condemn him upon the worthless evidence of irrespon- sible gossip.
 It gratifes our national pride to

WE have read so much about war lately that we are getting about ready to shoulder mus ket and go to the front. The fact is we wouldn't mind taking a few snapshots at the Spanish, anyway, and fit were not for a likelihood of them shooting at us we would be ready to begin the march on three days notice; but having a faint idea that some fool Spaniard might point an old fowling piece in our direction, we will have to ask about three years time to get ourself ready to move.

MUSIC.
 I am often asked If l think ev- eryone should study music, and l answer emphatically "yes P Not that everyone who has vocal or gans should try to sing. Heaven forbid! Nor that every child should be made to play the piano or violin. But every one should study music just as every one should study literature, or the sciences. Not in order to become musicians, poets or scientists, but in order to become familiar with some of the results of the highest human in- telligence.
 To fill the full power of music and to know its worth should be the aim of every cultured man or woman, and on this ground music should have place in every scheme of education. Matthew Arnold has defined culture as "a knowledge of the very best that has been said and done in the world. Hence musical culture is a knowledge of what has been done and said in the musical world.
 This being very large field it Is scarcely expected that the aver age music student in the time at his disposal for musical studies will be able to attain the full measure of knowing the best that has been said and done in the musical world.
 Music should not be cultivated merely as an ornamental accom- plishment, nor does it fulfill its mission when pursued as a past time. It should be studied as a means of mental development, and as an art that leads the student in- to the profoundest experience of gifted souls. It must be placed on the the same plane as the other arts.
 Music reveals life, mind and soul and must be studied in order to be fully understood and that these hidden beauties be brought out.
 The realm of music is a wonder ful one. Its portals stand open wide to the earnest seeker after its rich stores of melody and harmony. Music conveys more meaning to the human soul than any of the other arts. Music soothes the bruised, bleeding and broken hearts with its tender pathetic minor chords portraying so vividly the shadows of l1te. MuslC cheers us in our gladdest and gayest hours. More soldiers have been inspired in battles ranks by the martial airs of some inspired musician than they ever have by the fires of pa triotism.
 Music says Bob. Taylor in his inimitable Visions and Dreams. "Is the dearest gift of God to man. The sea, the forest, the field and the meadow are the very fountain heads of music. l believe that Mozart, Mendelsohn, Schuberth, Verdi and all the great masters
