foreigner. could not fully develop them in
his Aus der Neue Welt" The coon
song" was made popular by white singers,
and taken up to some extent by negro ac-
rhythm and style. A year or two ago a
young negro composer went to New York
with some original music of the genuine
plantation type, developed in accordance
with the laws of harmony. The managers
one and all refused to take it unless it
could be given the coon song flavor.
They said that the audience would not

nal songs were far more artistic and beau
tiful than the made-over versions. That is
what the Pbilistne, or the reputation of
the Philistine, sometimes does to art. AS
a rule, the middleman, who makes his liv-
ing by catering to the public, is timid, be-
cause he knows that failure will cost him
much money. Unless he has what he
would call sure winner that is, a
novelty of type so striking that it must
win attention, he sticks to the tried and

combined with Philistinism, il is very bad

The Omen Door.

Mr.. H. C. Prout, in an article in Mum
sey's Magazine" cleverly illustrates the
dependence of the American people upon
railway transportation. AS a basic free
trade argument his paper is worthy OF
careful consideration. He tells us that in
1898 railway earnings of the country were
six times the value of all our coal pro-
ducts; and that there were more people en-
gagged in railway work than in any other
industry except farming.
This goes TO show that, under modern
conditions, carriage is almost, if not quite,
the equivalent OF the energies and labor
devoted TO food production. 1t must be
remembered that all the organization,
intelligence. and capital devoted to
this transportation interest is internal, and
that for practical purposes it ceases at
our seashore. There under. the vicious
Chinese wall tariff system under which our
people have been suffering for years, the
effort stops. and the economies in favor
of our agriculture and manufacturing in
dustry, which have been gained through
American competition. inventive genius,
and the cheapening of railway plant, op-
Grafton, and administration absolutely
cease to work, and, at the coast line, are
neutralized by our dependence upon for
eign bottoms for our commercial trans
portation TO all outland places.
In other words, being without obstruc-
tive trade restrictions between points In
the United States, we have been able TO
solve the problem of cheap internal trans
portation. But, being handicapped and
paralyzed by destructive fiscal and ship
ping policies, We are compelled TO enrich
the transportation interests of other ma
tions. and TO acknowledge our inability
TO carry over the sea the billions of tons
of American products that We are able to
land at tidewater at lower rate of car
riage per ton per mile than has ever been
found possible in any other part OF the
world
Perhaps the day may come when the
free interchange of products between peo-
Piles who have them to trade, and mer-
camille marine policy that will enable our
mariners and shippers to compete with
those of other countries, will permit us TO
extend our ability to organize transporta-
ton upon the seas as we have shown our
capacity TO perfect ii on land. The time
will come when the Chinese wall that
Dewey preached al Manila and Schiey at
Santiago will be finally torn down and

The Memorial 10 Lee,


The Charleston News and Courier" is
tremendously distressed. Discussing the
report that steps have been taken for the
erection on site near the old homestead
of General Lee at Arlington, of an eques-
trian statue of the Confederate leader, 1t
says:
There might possibly be some appropriateness
in erecting a modest memorial Of General Lee on
the grounds Of his old homestead, at Arlington.
As the erection of the proposed statue there
would not be allowed by the Government how
ever, and any statue of General Lee would be
siDgularly out Of place at the home from which
he was excluded by the act of the Government in
his last days, II would that such statue as
described, located so near his old home and by
the side Of the road leading TO il, would serve
chiefly. only, a public and perpetual re-
minder Of one OF the most painful incidents in the
life Of the great soldier.
The motive which prompted the sugges-
tion of the statue was primarily to defer
to the pleasure of the Southern people. If
they think that a monument TO General
Lee would possess more interest and sig
nificance II placed on one of the battle
fields of Virginia-that of Fredericksburg
or Petersburg, for instance-than ii could
possibly have at any other spot, they are
certainly entitled to their opinion. 1t is,
as reported, purely a Southern affair, and
no one will dispute the right OF the South
TO have its wishes consulted in the matter.

The Mental Processes of Hes-ian.

(FrOm the New York Tribune)
We have waited thus long before making
any comment upon some of the schemes
for 'he celebration of Admiral Deweys
home coming, in hope that their very
offensiveness would weigh them down and
sink them out of sight. But they seem
as buoyant as the emptiest rubbish often
is and as noisome. 1t is unmisiakable
that a number of self-seeking nonentities
are trying to gain free advertising for
themselves. and lift themselves into the
conspicuousness they covet, by linking
themselves in some fashion with his fame.
II is easy, of course. to do So All man
has to do is to talk mysteriously about
mythical letter he has got from Dewey,
and about equally mythical leading men
who are behind his scheme, to get plenty
of names on a subscription paper for a
dinner in honor of the Admiral. The peo-
pie are so eager to honor Dewey that they
do not always scrutinize the character of
the project introduced TO them In his name.
But it seems fitting, and, indeed, needful.
to say plainly that all such unauthorized
exploits ought to be sternly frowned down.
Dewey is not TO be welcomed home by the
three tailors of Tooley Street. II would
be big feather in the sartorial caps, no
doubt, II Messrs. Miggs and Snooks and
Spifkins we're TO be permitted TO pose as
the organizers of the citys greeting to
the nations hero. But ii would be small
honor to the Admiral No; there will be
provision made for his reception and en-
| tertainment By those who have official and
social authority to represent New York
and the United States in such matters.
In the mean time. the would-be self
vertisers, who want to get within the

a reputation as to entitle him to rank with Nell

that he bombarded some ancient Notifications at
San Juan and other places. But he not per
sonaly engaged in single naval battle during the
Spanish war, and so did not have opportunity
TO establish fame great naval commander.
He arrived upon the scene Of the battle off San
tiago de Cuba Just the last ship of the Spanish
squadron was in the act of surTendering. The
other ships had already been destroyed and their
wrecks beached and burning. The battle had
been fought and won by schley during the alb

Sampson had been present, his friends believe, he
would have done as well. This may be true, but

(trom the tnlCdso Joutndi.)
The baby's hathtub had become exceedingly
dingy, SO the mother, who has singular ideas in
regard to economy, and unlimited confidence in
her ability to do anything, bought a can of white
paint, and herself gave the little tin tub white
coat The result was highly satisfactory. The
incorporating tub was fit for the son Of king
to battle in.
The mother very proud Of her handiwork
when she put the baby in the tub for the rrst
time; SO proud that she rubbed the child IN a
half.conscious manner. Then bright spot on
the inside Of the tub caught her eye; then an
other bright spot; then she saw that the entire
inside of the tub bright. In alarm she
lifted the little fellow from the warm water.
Then she screamed.
The baby was almost entirely covered with
sticky, white paint!
The warm water had had its effect on the
new coat of the tub. The result was its trans
fer to the skin of the baby. The mother used
benzine, gasoline, apd finally wound up with an
application of tar Soap in her attempt to re
move the paint. She got it on, but the baby
skin had the color of red flannel by the time
she was through.
Now the baby has new tub
