THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL AND
ECNTpERn xUuTEAnT NT,GxVNTrV

The Minneapolis Journal is usually
carefully edited newspaper, but the per-
son responsible for the publication of the
following paragraph, which appeared in
Fridays issue Of that paper, was guilty
of a piece of inexcusable carelessness in
permitting it to be published This is
the paragraph:
The st. Paul G. 10 b e talks about
The idea which it seeks to convey, of
course, is that the president is playing
the role of emperor. 1t is to be hoped
that the Democrats will keep it up. The
most palpably idiotic campaign talk is
this imperialistic nonsense"
This is very remarkable statement to
make when the fact is considered that
the text upon which the G o b e s ar
ticle in question was written was the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph printed in the
Minneapolis Journal of Tuesday, April II:
The Siamese embassy called on their
old and distinguished friend. William Nc
hlnley. president of these United States
ana emperor Of Puerto Rico, yesterday
The idea which the Journal seeks to
convey, of course, is that the president
Is playing thef role of emperor. 1t is
to be hoped the Journal will keep 1t up.
H. as the Jourbaa claims, The most pal
pably idiotic campaign talk is this i'm
perialistic nonsense" why does the Jour
nal indulge in it and furnish texts for
Democratic newspapers? Why does 1t re-
fer to the president as emperor of
Puerto Rico" one day and scold the
G o b e for doing the same thing few
days later. Does the Journal claim the
sole privilege of fndulging in this Sim
perialistic nonsense?" Because the Jour-
nal is 'idiotic' is the G L o b to be 81
lent about the emperor Of Puerto Rico?
1t may be conceded that the Minneapolis
Journal enjoys monopoly of all that
campaign talk which is most palpably
idiotic. Its claim to that monopoly will
not be disputed, but when it accidentally
blurts out the truth about Imperial Will
lam, the G o b will claim the right to
reproduce the Journals statement and
will always cheerfulIy give that paper
credit for the same. IT.. ....,a

Arbor and Bird Day.

Tuesday Gov. Schofield issued a pro-
elimination designating Friday, May 4,
as Arbor and Bird day. tits as follows:
BY legislative enactment the COVER
nor is authorized to set apart one day
in the year to be known as Arbor and
Bird day
The beneficent results of this enact
ment are everywhere apparent. Not
only are the school grounds and public
parks of the state being made attractive
by tree-planting and deep interest in
the preservation of our song birds being
awakened among the young, but there
is coming to be among the people OF the
state generally clearer understanding
of the economic value of forest and bird
preservation.
In order that this interest in the for
ests and birds may be maintained |, Ed
ward Scofield, governor of Wisconsin
by the authority vested in me by the
Legislature, do hereby set apart and
designate Friday, May 4, 1900, to be
Arbor and Bird Day.
1t is highly desirable that all the pub
lie schools and the places of learning
generally throughout the state do, upon
that day, hold appropriate exercises, to
the end that the young may grow into
an intelligent appreciation of those at
fractions with which nature has en-
dowed our state, and come to discern
the close relationship between beauty
and usefulness. Let an effort be made
on that day to add in some degree to
the attractiveness of all school grounds
and public parks, and to impart to the
little children especially a love for the
birds.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
RAG TIME FROM WAGNER

Also in Part From Mozart, Beethoven and
Other Great Masters.
Rag time has been given it's rating
by F. W. Root, musical authority. He
says it's bears the same relation to the
great things of the musical world that
Mother Gcose's melodies do to the
masterpieces Of the worlds literature.
While criticising this lowly but ex-
tremely popular sort of music, Mr..
Root says it came from the great
maestros of the earth. Wagner lapsed
into 1t much after the manner of
statesmen who sometimes get tired and
drop into versifcation Mozart also
had moments of fatigue or eXuberance.
when he dashed off few notes in the
measure of the cake-walk melody.
Some of the great litterateurs have
written along the mental altitude of
Mother Goose, says Mr.. Root. and so
nave Bach and Beethoven yielded to
the impulse to put their lofty thoughts
into sharps and flats that would be
appreciated in Halsted street.
II would not do away with rag-time
music" said Mr. Root. IF some one
should blot out Mother Goose's rhymes
/ would say unhesitatingly l would not
DO it. Mother Goose is a good thing
n it's way So is rag time"
"To make the matter plain, rag
time is synccpation All of the great
masters have employed syncopated
notes. That is all right, or the masters
would not have done it. But they did
not write all of their works in synco-
patton. That shows that syncopation
IS good for a while. but we do not
want too much of it.
Now, Mother Goose's literature is a
good thing, but suppose you had moth
ing else to read you would get tired OF
il after awhile
What would you suggest be done
about it," ne asked.
LET it alone. The people who like
1t may learn after while to like some
thing else better
What objection lies against rag
time music?"
1T is repetition of the same thing,
that's ALL There is nothing else in
the world the matter with it. AS l
said, if it were not good thing the
masters would not have used I.
Among many oddities Of rag time an
example of its effect may be seen in
the setting of "Old Hundred" to that
measure.
There is no such thing as good
music or bad music" said Prof. Emil
Liebling You may set good music
to bad or vicious workings and the
music becomes bad by implication. So
with rag time. 1t is now lending it
self to low vaudeville, in the main, and
because of that association the music
is denounced.
1.-THE song from Carmen, Love is a
Wild Bird. is enc Of the best examples
of rag time in modern music. In the
overture to Don Juan, by Mozart, and
in the sixth two-vosced invention of
Bach we have good examples OF synco-
patton.
Rag time is simply having its day.
It viii be forgotten as craze in few
years

SENATOR CARTER, republican, of
Montana, probably spoke with approx
innate truth, the other day in the .. S.
Senate, referring to the efforts to unseat
Senator Quay He said 81 don't be-
lieve that this country has ever wit
messed such another deep, dark, damn
able, diabolical plot to destroy mans
political or private character" When
Hanna, who got his seat in the senate
by open bribery, is permitted to keep it
unquestioned, democrats must believe
that all this talk of republican senator's
about unseating Quay in the interest OF
pure politics is simply hypocritical cant.
Quay is probably not a meek enough
servant of the trusts.

CITIZENS TICKET.
The Non-Partisan Promoters Place Good
Ticket in the Field.
Now Let Us Forever do Away With Politics
in City Affairs.

Some weeks ago, the city committees
of the democratic and republican
parties held separate meetings to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of putting in the
field a Citizens non-partisan ticket.
At these meetings, the matters were
largely discussed, the public were in
vited to be present and as a result, a
committee of five. was appointed to
represent each party in conference to
be held for the purpose of canvassing
and considering the situation. The two
conference committees met jointly last
week, and after several meetings,
finally agreed upon a ticket. 1t was
the sense of the meeting that the action
of the committee should extend no
further than the elective officers. After
the conference committee had agreed
upon nominations for the various
elective officers of the city, on Monday
evening of this week, March 18th, "a
meeting of the conference committee
was held at which both city committees
were also present. At this meeting, a
report was made by the conference
committee to the combined committees
of the result of their deliberations.
The report of the conference committee
was finally adopted in the following

Glbralter and overran and conquered
Spain. The Turkish horsemen con-
CURED the Roman empire of the East.
When firearms were invented the
horse had long struggle to keep his
place as a warrior He was in evidence
a good deal for few centuries, but the
effort was hopeless. He had to take
an inferior position. He was not very
serviceable This was not the fault of
the horse. The horse did his part well,
but the man on his back was foolish
enough to retain his obsolete sword
instead of getting musket. A lit
tie later the man made a step for
ward by getting a short range little
gun called carbine. This was prac-
tically worthless for attack be-
cause the musket outranged it by a
long distance 1t finally dawned upon
military minds that cavalry man was
no good in a regular battle. He could
make a quick march to an unprotected
point and destroy railroad or bridge,
and possibly, if he was lucky he might
capture and run off with baggage
train, but for regular battlefield work
he was worthless, unless to fight caval-
ry. He had no show against infantry.
Strange as it may seem it never oc-
Cured to any educated military man
that all this inefectiveness of cavalry
might be remedied by properly arming
them. The fact that infantry could use
horses to advantage was first proved by
the Cuban revolutionists, and has been
still better demonstrated by the Beers.
The thing is very obvious now; so plain
that it seems very strange it should not
have occurred long ago to students of
military tactics. The horse can carry
the man faster and farther than the
man can carly himself. He can carry
the man and his equipments and bag
gage At the end of the march the
man instead of being tired out is fresh
and ready to fight. His opponent on
foot has no chance against him for they
are equal only in the weapons they
carry; in every other respect the man
on horseback can out-do his opponent
on foot. The next thing will be to pro-
vide very long range, heavy rifle for
the soldier on horseback. When that
is done good bye infantry. Every
soldier who carries gun will have his
horse.
