To Please His Critics.

Half a century ago Wagner was Sc
yerely criticised in London for con-
Quoting concerts without a score. He
was giving some Beethoven concerts,
and he knew the masters symphonies
by heart.
After the first performance one Of
the London papers seolded the COM
poser of "Tannhauser" for directing
the symphony without score in front
of him. 800
At the next concert young Wagner
had book OF music open before him
on the desk. ~ ~
The following day the same news
paper printed commendatory article,
which praised him for his better inter-
probation of Beethoven, the improve
ment due, of course, to the use of the
score. Wagner announced for the
benefit of the critics that the score in
front of him on the previous evening
was that of Rossini's opera. 1.-THE

"Ten Nights in a Bar Room"

When will the time come when "Ten
Nights in a Bar Room" will lose its
charm to the rising generation?
Judging by the present freshness, It's
alluring powers will be perennial,
There is something In the skillful COM
bination of the pathetic and the hui
morousa that never fails osfaseinate,
and the story that it tells of the poor
sinebriate appeals directly to the finest
sensibilities of the human soul. Such
plays are more than sermons. They
point moral and adorn atale. They
teach us lessons in thoughtfulness and
charity, They impress on our mind
the precepts of the golden rule. Z. s.
Arthur's book is one of the greatest
books of literature, because it deals
with questions of immeasurable human
import, and the play itself is one OF
those simple masterpieces that can
nevor die. Days Big Co, will APP

THE BEST KITCHEN UTENSILS.
English Paper Admits Superiority Of
German Methods.

The superiority of German house
hold and kitchen utensils over English
ones is discussed by correspondent
who instances as delightful exam
pie, the china or earthenware rolling
pin, which has superseded our primi-
tive wooden one. It is almost super
fuous to point out that it is more
easily and thoroughly cleaned and is
cooler for pastry baking than is the
wooden rolling pin. II the well-to-do
English woman were to work in her
own kitchen she would surely never
tolerate such thing as the ordinary
jug, always narrower at the top than
at the base, and therefore impossible
to get clean, except with much unnec-
essary labor; she would invent
soup spoon with a lip at the side; and
she would insist on everyday cup and
jug and vegetable dish handles being
put on square. so as not to harbor dirt.

sARoA,n COUNTER POLITICS

The Ploneer-Press, usually &C
curate in it's statements, on Tuesday
last contained the following re,
markable statements: "The ques.
ton of Judge Collins resignation,
it is said. will be settled today OF
tomorrow. The reason why his res
ignation has not been handed in be
fore this, according to report at the
capital yesterday, is because his sup
porters have not yet been able to
agree on a successor.
Has it come to this in republican
politics in Minnesota, that a place
on the supreme bench is to be de-
liberately offered as a price Of sup
port of a certain candidate for gov
ernor, and the man who can deliver
the greatest number of delegates to
get the plum? 1t might as well be
to put up to the highest bidder to
the man who would put the most
cash in a candidates campaign fund.
1t is just as disreputable to pur-
chase delegates with official posi-
tions as it is to buy them with
money. Why have the supporters
of Judge Collins any more right to
ssagree on his successor than the
supporters of Bob Dunn or Frank
Eddy. :
Judge Collins has just as much
right to run for governor as any
other man. He has the right to
resign his present position or not
just as he chooses. If he does re-
sign he should do so unconditlon-
ally and he ought not to have any
thing more to say about naming his
successor than any other citizen.
When his resignation is placed in
the Governors hands, if he does his
duty, and he generally does, he
will name some man like G. j.
Gunderson, of Alexandria, John
W. Mason, of Fergus Falls, Judge
P. E. Brown, of Laverne or some
other lawyer whose name will be a
guarantee to the people of the state
of his fitness for the position: and
who is in no way mixed up in the
gubernatorial struggle.
Just let the impression prevail
that the Judgeship was traded for
support for a certain candidate, the
delegates to the next state conyen-
ton will do things to that Judge
and candidate. :
The republicans of this state will
not stand for placing the supreme
Z court Of Minnesota on the bargain
counter.

The Horse-Here's to Him.

The Horse: Here's to that bundle
of sentient nerves, with the heart of

courage of a gladiator, the docility of
a slave, the proud carriage of king

that turns the moist burrows in the
spring in order that all the world may
have abundant harvest, that furnishes
the sport of kings, that with blazing
eye and distended nostril fearlessly
leads our greatest generals through

PRESENTATION IN CONVEN-
TONS,

The American people in many re-
spects are the most progressive peo-
pie on earth, but on others they are
the most conservative. The manner
in which delegates are selected to
the national convention makes it
possible for states that under no
circumstances will select democratic
electors to name the democratic
presidential candidate and for states
hopelessly democratic to dictate the
republican choice.
The present method of selecting
delegates to national, conventions is
Anticipated, unfair and unjust.
Party representation should be
based on the party vote cast.

patronage" and the Spells of
Office.

The postal Investigations are extend
ing from the conditions of the general
service TO the organization of particu-
lar post-offices like that of New York
city. Wholly sporadic and unrelated
to these systematic Investigations are
the charges brought against Senator
Dietrich, of Nebraska, who is under
Indictment for having sold his in
fiuence in getting postmaster ap.
pointed for the city OF Hastings, in his
State, and against whom there were
currents, last month, rumors of SINH
lar misconduct in connection with
other Offices. It is to be hoped, for
the credit OF American public life.s
that Senator Dietrich, who protests
his innocence, may be able to clear
himself both OF the legal charges
against him and also of all moral sus-
picion ofwrong doing. It may indeed
be a long step, on the part of the Sem
ator, from distributing postofices in
return for political support to their
sale for cash; but from the standpoint
of the man who seeks the job it Is not
always easy to make sure whether he
is paying the required money into the
campaign funds OF his party or into
the private pocketof some boss or per-
son of superior influence who can give
the Office or withhold it at pleasure.
The plain fact is that Senatorial and
Congressional patronage is very bad
business. The function of aiding and
advising the Executive in the filling OF
postmastersIips and other federal
Offices does, indeed, properly belong
to the Senators and Representatives
from the States and districts affected;
but to transform this function of Civ
ing advice into q theory of patronage
under which Senators and Congress
men own the Offices and distribute
them for their own personal benefit is
noJhing short Of a degradation and a
shame. Improvement can come about
through no change Of the law or Of the
mechanism Of government. It can
only result from gradually improved

ont CT town by the new law. and the
women are following them.
In this connection, the records show
fewer women paying fines to the city
his month than ever before for years,
In the past three years more women
raid fiuss IN the month Of NOvem-
ber last fall than during an other
month. IN tAat month III women and

Make Owners Pay.
A movement is on foot among some
of the officials 10 compel the owners OF
the cribs, who are said to be viOlatOrs
Of the law. to pay fines to the city each
month the same as the women are
forced TO do who occupy their places
Some of the city officials declare that
either the men who own the cribs
must come into police court each
month themselves and pay fines or
they must not force their tenants, the
most degraded class Of women in the
city, to pay eXorbitant rents, which
would not be tolerated any place else
in the city.
The women in the alley pay their
landlords 81 a day for the dent Of two
rooms a little larger than good sized
Dig goods boxes. Each woman must
pay S14 a week for these rooms and
the scant furniture in them. This is
the astonishing sum of $50 a month.
Each crib-and it is more the size of
a closet than a rOOm-is just wide
enough for a narrow door and window
in front. 1t varies in depth from a
single room about 10 feet long to TWO
rooms perhaps 16 feet long.
In addition to the $50 a month these
women pay each $40 month to the
city for fines The women in the par
lor houses only pay s. month each
