CHORAL SYMPHONY CONCERT
SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTING.

The last popular concert OF the Choral
Symphony season was given before an audi
ence moderate in extent and late IN arTiv-
ing at the Odeon last night. and was IN
itself a bit disappointing II failed to main
tain the high standard set b. its predeces-
sorA
The most rneritorious numbers on the
programme were the Lassen Festival Over
ture." the Chopin inst concerto for piano.
forte. in Z minor. excellently played by
Miss Clara Meyer. with orchestra accom-
paninent, and the George Schumann over
ture. 'Springtime OF Love-" which was
heard earlier in the season
The Henneman Ladies' Quartet did not
meet the expectations OF an Odeon audi
ence- Their numbers were Henneman's
Ave Maria.'' vogrichts Love and AIirth."
Comm Thro' the Rye" for an encore, and
Gillet's 'Loin du Bal" in the programmes
second half. The voices are not well bal
anced, and there was lack OF thorough
training which made itself evident at criti-
cal moments.
The remaining numbers composing the
programme were a selection from Venuto's
opera, u tire Nsmeci," and the coronation
march from Msyerbeer's lie Prophetic"
both orchestral and fairly well interpreted
The concert must go into history as the
least interesting and satisfactory Of the
season.

A BATTLE. NOT A ToURNAMENr.

II the public were just disnterested bystander at
the political arena II might view the play of forces
as mere joust among the party managers and can
didates. and say lightly enough may the best man
WIN The game they play is wondrously fascinating
even TO the observer and the politicians interest
ing enough at any stage Mostly they a lot OF
free lances. The politicians best friend Is usually
himself and he is usually for himself with the implied
leave to Satan TO do what he likes with the bndmost
All other things being equal why shouldn't the best
win?
JUST now. however, the game is more than a mere
political joust, and the public very much more than
casual bystander-it is a participant in struggle for
right; Its interests are directly touched And the
pubic IS entitled by reason OF its interest and par
ucipation TO know the ins and outs OF every play
The public en- masse will support the right side OF
things if it can be led to discern the right side
Roughly speaking that is the Of the great reform
movement which for two years and a half has steadily
progressed toward good administration There are
any number Of wrong Sides and these should be readi
ly enough distinguished.
Several conspicuous attempts are being made to
confuse and bewder and to prevent the concentration
Of good citizenship upon the main issue Not the
least is the effort TO create false impression in the
public mind concerning Mr. Folk and to separate him
from the great reform movement OF which he is
genericaly part 1t is the effort to take Mr. Folk
Il
false aspect and make him antagonist of those who
nave been his strongest supporters.
One purpose OF the attempt is TO reflect discredit
upon the general reform movement Another pur-
pose is to weaken the Circuit Attorney by deprying
him Of the administration teamwork which has
strengthened sustained and given effect to his efforts
since their inception
What more shrewd nick could the enemies OF good
government play? How could the vicious ringsters
and boodlers strike a more venomous blow against
both the greater reform Of the citizens and
the Circuit Attorneys usefulness? Is It not recog
milton by the rngsters Of the strength unity and the
weakness OF division? And is not the Circuit At
torney's success the focus Of their attempt?
Mr.. Folk cannot but perceive the character and
motives Of the plotters Though he has wholly re- |
Trained from rebukng these attempts must feel the
embarrassment OF being variance and in a false
position. |
The public is chiefly concerned now not with the |
arena political joustng place where the shrewdest
and keenest lance deserves applause with great
struggle in which personal politics has no place; |
struggle in which every force. big or little which
makes for strength must actively combine to battle
with the enemies Of good government and reform.

IT WAS STRENUOUS.

That Worlds Fair ENJOYS bear charmed lives is
shown by Commissioner Langermans experiences in
Morocco. All the Kings horses and all the Kings
men-to the number of five hundred-couId not have
saved him from death and decapitation had it not
been for the fact that he American engaged
about the Expositions business But for this no
doubt the good Mr.. Langerman's head would be at
this moment adorning the point of some barbarians
pike.
Having transacted his Worlds Fair business ar
Fez the Sultans stronghold. Mr.. Langerman set out
for Tangier. The Sultan sent with him guard Of
500 picked warriors, and presented him with several
magnificent black horses. He had proceeded far
with this splendid array before the Pretenders rebels
pounced upon the guard and engaged in a massacre
the description of which by Mr. Langerman is enyen-
ing to a degree.
1T was strenuous" says he. All of the 500 beaut-
full guards except four hacked into bloody
and the heads mounted slaves and afterwards
nailed to the gates of Fez bit of impudence to the
Sultan. When 496 heads had been hacked of Mr.
Langerman explained that he was only harmless
Worlds Fair envoy, and the sangunary proceedings
came TO a STOP The rebels, it seems, kill first and
listen TO explanations afterwards Luckily they halt
ed at the four hundred and ninety-sixth.
On the whole It was rather strenuous" II even

FOLKS RULE.

FOLDOW FOLKS RULE.
Attorney General Crows entrance into the investL
CATION of legislative Doodle charges now being con-
Quoted by the Cole County Grand Jury in jefferson
City should mean augmented certainty OF arriving
at the truth and encompassing the punishment OF the
guilty IL the charges are sustained.
This is the result desired by the people of Missouri
and by the Democratic administration at the State
capital 1t is insisted upon that most rigid inquiry
be made that every clew be followed until the truth
is brought TO light, and that the full facts be de
veloped before the investigation shall be abandoned
In this way only may justice be done and the good
name of Missouri be properly upheld before the world
The Cole County Grand Jury is under a heavy re-
sponsibity for intelligent and faithful service but the
responsibility is equaed by exceptional opportun
ty for benecent achievement The stories Of booding
which were rife in the closing days of the legis
lative session cannot be ignored If they were true
there are certain booders whose punishment is i'm
peratively demanded. The development of the truth
and the punishment of those convicted by the truth
will again demonstrate the fact that the spirit of re-
form is exceedingly vital in Missouri and that the
Democratic administration may safely be relied upon
TO protect the States honor against the stain of will
ing submission to corrupt practices.
With the Attorney General of the State assisting
in the investigation the truth should be reached by
the Cole County Grand Jury in a manner to convince
the public Of the honest thoroughness the inquiry
now under way. Whether the charges of booding are
sustained found to be unwarranted in fact there
must be no for doubt as to the justice of the
final verdict. The matter is in which the people
Of Missouri are profoundly interested, and there is
general confidence that the Grand Jury summoned for
this investigation by Judge HAZEL will perform its
duty with effective conscientiousness.
Judge HazelTs instructions, while clear and sound
in principle involved the into which jurists often
fall He did not concentrate. To thoroughly examine
pd in no of .hoI
Grand Jury must sit continuously for months
The best is TO do what Circuit Attorney Folk
has wisely done in his work. He taken one thing
at time and pursued it until he forced results out of
reluctant witnesses The jefferson City Grand Jury
should follow that example
