the question Immediately arises wheth

In the long run party responsibility
will be found to be Just as neceSsar.
in municipal and state as in fedora
government. There is no other sufli
Gent way of reaching abuses, dividing
issues or achieving advances. The
trouble in our great cities and ID
crime ridden states like Pennsy lvania,
is that while there is party govern
ment there is no responsibility, be-
cause voters voluntarily make them
selves slaves TO their party, instead
of it's master, vote the Irregular tick
ct no matter what it represents or
what it does; and even when they
know that the ticket is nothing but a

many and Platt gang or Quay and
the Democratic machine in Philadel-
phia they keep on voting it just the
same. The result is not greatly dit
ferent, except as it is worse, than
other forms of despotism, because 1t
denies the fundamental conception of
self government which presupposes
discrimination and tidel-
ity to ideas, not subserviency to man or
organization, in the use of the cleo
toral franchise.
The fault lies with the Individual
V oter who lacks the moral courage to
bolt when he knows it to be the require
ment of good citizenship, or the
thought capacity or attention to pub
lie affairs to see the necessity. In the
last analysis the reason why national
politics are better than municipal is
that the average voter gives them
more thought and attention, and 1t is
that free government can
not be better than other ferns when
votes can be controlled without this.

CONQUERED HER RIVAL.
A Pretty and Pathetic story of Jenny
Lind and Grlsi.

| we have recently read beautiful
incident. Jenny Lind and Grisi were
both rivals for popular favor in Lon
don. Both were invited to sing the
same night at court concern before
| the queen. Jenny Lind, being THE
! younger, sang first and was so dis
| turbed by the fierce, scornful look or
| Grlsi that she was at the point of
failure when suddenly an inspiration
came to her.
The accompanist was striking the
final chords. She asked him to rise
and took the vacant seat. Her fingers
wandered over the keys In loving
prelude, and then she sang n little
prayer which she had loved as child.
She hadn't sung 1t for years. As she
sang she was no longer in the pres
ence of royalty, but singing to loving
friends In her fathcrland.
Softly at first the plaintive notes
fioated on the air, swelling louder and
richer every moment. The singer
seemed to throw her whole soul into
that weird, thrilling, plaintlve pray
err" Gradually the song died away
and ended in n sob. There was ST.
lence-the silence of admiring wonder.
The audience sat spellbound. Jenny
Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into
the scornful face that had so discon-
certed her. There was no fierce ex-
preston now; instead teardrop glis-
tened on the long, black lashes, and
after a moment, with the inpulsve-
ness of child of the tropics, Grisi
crossed to Jenny Lind's side, placed
her arm about her and kissed her,
utterly regardless OF the AUDIENCE
