Washington's Musical Taste.

The results Of the request" concert given
by the Marine Band at the White House
last Saturday indicate clearly that the pub
lie musical taste has decidedly not been
lowered by the food of so-caled rag
time melody which has during the past
few years been poured upon both willing
and unwilling ears. The rag-tinne period is
only a phase of passing preference. Doubt
less Il will be succeeded eventually by some
other remarkable musical development, just
as fashions in dress pass, more rapidly,
from one extreme to another. But with all
such violent fluctuations in the predominant
taste of the moment there remains a fun
damental desire to hear the best music and
any intelligent community. such as Wash
ingtOn. provided with good music by we'll
trained bands and orchestras. will always
applaud artistic reuditious Of the classics
even while enjoying and expressing a ik-
Ing for the lighter airs of the period
Rag-time music is already on the wane in
popular favor. II has been done to
death In song and in dance il has
sounded its eccentricities of measure until
the public ear is aweary. Just what the
next freak Of composition catching the
passing fancy will be no one can now con-
fidentIy predict. He who strikes the key

There are fortunes awaiting those who
manage to lead the public by the ear in the
early stages Of a popular music" develop

Washington audiences have always shown
a decided preference for what is generally
and discriminatory styled good music. 1t

many years past to possess one Of the fore

to the Marine Corps Superior leadership

A Model Capital.

Sir Edmund Barton. premier of the COM
monHeaith OF Australia announces in tine
course Of an interview printed today in The
Star that one of the chief objects of his
visit to this country is 10 study the District
OF Columbia as a model national capital
inspired by the satisfactory results of the
American experiment OF more than a CEN
tury ago in the creation of a capital out of
the wilderness the new makers OF the new
Australian constitution adopted a generally
similar scheme 4 capital is to be estab-
ished somewhere in the commonwealth on
fauow ground. No city is TO be desig-
mated as the seat OF government. but the
government Is TO make its own center, thus
strictly following the American example
Having thus laid the foundation I'm law. the
premier and his associates have lust sur
Veyed the results Of century OF American
capltal-makng, in order 10 apply them TO
ths'r own enterprise. No higher compiI-
ment could we'll be paid TO the trainers of
the constitutional provision which COM
manded the laying out OF a city on the
banks Of the Potomac.
But 1t might easily have been the mlsfor-
tune OF the Australians, after adopting the
fundamental idea OF capital made to
order. to find the American result disap-
pointing in Its details or present prospect

More Niagara Foolishness.

The feat Of Graham, the swimmer. in
passing safely through the lower rapids at
Niagara yesterday does not establish any
new point with regard to those terrible
waters below the cataract. This is not the
first time Graham has gone through the
rapids below the whirlpool. There are sert-
Gus dangers there, and an unskilied swim
mer. or one unacquainted with the peculi-
arities of the current and the obstructions
In the river bed. would probably come to
grief In attempting the passage. The upper
rapids, however. have thus far denied man
the privilege Of journey through them

EYnm the New Ynrk Hrihnna

from the New York Tribune.
Every lyncher In this era of eniighten-
ment and progress and In present condi-
uons in the United States should be looked
upon as a cowardly ASSASSIN, the sort of
scoundrel who would lie In ambush for any
person whom he disliked and would shoot
his enemy in the back from a secure hiding
place without a sign or a word Of warning
Such dastards never engage In a fair fight.
Anything like an equal contest In any cir
cumstances or conditions has no attraction
Tor them In fact, such fellows always run
at top speed II they meet an adversary who
desires nothing but an even chance with
them. "'@i'
