Pension Commissioner Evans has made
the interesting and important discovery
that. as he is slightly hard of hearing in
his left ear, he is entitled to a pension
with many years arrears. We trust tina.
his lucky find will be sufficient notice to
other Republican officials who are likely
soon to retire from Office, to have them
selves carefully gone over for any little
defect that might excuse their emplace-
ment upon the rolls. There is more dis
tinguished gentleman than Evans in the
party who has given repeated evidences of
a weak back That is doubtless due to his
having been exposed to the disease in the
civil war, when under the command OF
some Ohio political general like the late
Trutherford Hayes. Then there are others
in whom consciences will be found to have
been destroyed. owing to connection with
the commissary or quartermaster's de-
partment. All these things ought TO be
considered and treated as pensionable I'M
der liberal construction OF the law, and
the practice of the Pension Bureau.

Musical Notes.

Among the new piano pieces of tbs
popular class published this month
is Mr.. M. S. Arnold's "Dance of the
Marionettes," in E. fat (40c.). While
not a difficult piece to play, it makes
good show. There is considerable
variety in the harmony, and it should
please those who like light, bright
music of this class.
"Arethusa" CA Sketch (50c and
From the Northland" CA Dance
Fragment) (50c } are two piano So
los by Mr.. Bertram c. Henry. fresh
from the press; both are ofthe fourth
grade, and both are written in D.
"From the Northland" is the more
romantic of the two, although the
composer has, in each, succeeded in
writing something above the ordina-
ry. They will doubtless meet with
favor among piano players who are
looking for something new and inter-
esting.
There is always a demand for an
other good two-step, and the "Cham-
pionship March Two-step" (50c.), by
Robert G. Morse, will quickly take
its place among the most popular
two-steps of the day. Mr.. Morse is a
Harvard University man and the
composer of Cup the Street." His
latest two-step, championship
March"-has most captivating mel
ody, and spontaneity that is in
fictitious. 1t is we'll harmonized and
must rank among the few really good
two-steps. 10 manuscript form. it
created so much enthusiasm that the
publishers are sure of hit, and have
issued it for piano solo, piano four
hand, military band, orchestra, and
for LIST and 2nd mandolins, mandola
and guitar, with piano accompani-
ment.
Mr.. Homer n. Bartlett's latest COM
positions for the piano, "Capriccro"
in E. minor Csc. J, "On the Water"
| (60c. }, and Oriental Dance" (60c. }
were issued late in December. The
composer ranks high among the best
known of the modern school of COM
posers, and piano teachers have learn
ed to look to him for some of their
best teaching pieces and concert num-
bers. These three new piano solos
represent him at his best. Written
in the most approved form, they are
delicatey harmonized, and charming
ly melodious. All three are correctly
fingered. The "Capriceio" is moder-
ately difficult; con the Water" in
A, is also of the fourth grade. The
melody is played, chiefly, by tina left
hand. "Oriental Dance" is a little
more difficult than the Others, and as
the title indicates, the composition
has the rhythmic and harmonic char
acteristics peculiar to eastern music.
The many admirers of Mr.. Bartlett's
writings will find a fresh delight in
these new pieces.

Three months ago the famine 10 L.

10000 were on the relief lists, while
at present the number involved is
50 100000 and the number on the
lists is 3 200 900. Ii these figures
show that the famine conditions
have spread rapidly it must not be
forgotten that they also show that
the authorities are far more active
in extending relief. Unfol tunately
the worst of this frightful calamity
is yet to come. Nature will furnish
no relief until the July rains, and even
these may fail, as they have for sew
eral years past. If they do the loss
of life will assuredly be most APP

to reassert my belief in the principle
which underlies the income tax. Congress
should have authority to levy and COL
lect an income tax whenever necessary,
tuition specifically comforting such au-
thority ought to be supported by even
those who may think the tax unneces-
sary at this time. In the hour of danger
the government can draft the citizen; it
ought to be able to draft the pocket

IMPERIALISM.
The subjects, however, treated in this

sue in this campaign. Whether we shall
adhere to, or abandon those ideas of
government which have distinguished
this nation from ether atoms and given
tots history its peculiar charm and
value, is a question the settlement of
which cannot be delayed. No other ques-
tion can approach it in Importance; no
