OPPOSITION is ALARMED.
Leaders of the g. o. P. Are Very Much
Worried Because They Are
Minus Begey.

Republicans are beginning to bs
alarmed at having nothing to be
alaymed about. They know that they
have kept themselves in power for eight
years because they succeeded in max
ing the country's flesh creep at the
thought of what the democratic party
might do; and now they are wondering
how they can possibly live without be-
ing scared TO death. They feel lonely
without their dear old bogey-men. A.
tranquil life is the last thing they want.
Their political ideal of happiness is to
be like the man in the Ancient Mari
ner" who doth walk in fear and dread"
because he knows a frightful fiend doth
close behind him tread" Hence their
melancholy reception of Judge Parker's
speech. 1t showed them that their last
fond hope of passing the summer in a
state of fright has vanished, and they
are naturally inconsolable at discover
ing that there is nothing TO molest them
or make them afraid.
The New York Post says that the idea
of the countrys being safe with demo-
cratic president is gall and wormwood
to the republican managers. They meet
too many of their own party who say:
We'll, l guess we'll have a pretty good
president whoever is elected" And such
people, so deplorably at ease in Zion,
actually have the hardihood to tell re-
publican politicians that it is good
thing for the country when the rival
candidate for the presidency is a man
so irreproachable and sound as Judge
Parker. This will never do. The ma
ton must not think of being contented
except when it is affrighted; and as for
republicans putting their armor by, TAX
ing it easy, and spending on European
trips what they ought to give to the
campaign fund-why that is enough to
make good party workers despair of the
republic.
1t was really cruel of Judge Parker to
dlsappoint them as he has done. Not
satisfied with robbing them of their
money issue, he has not given them q
single peg upon which to hang the
charges, which they had carefully pre-
pared, OF his being an agitator and
leveler. They somehow hoped that he
would step off the bench to display him
self as an arrant demagogue, but now
they can only turn mournfully away to
bewail his being so negative" and so
maliciously "dexterous' in not giving
them handle.

Filipinos at ST. Louis
Worlds Fair
Wonderful Music Rendered Daily by Islanders Plaza
of Philippine Building

members of the civil police force wea1
the khaki 1t is these little men in
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as a nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result of Admiral
Dewey's spectacular victory.
The members of the Constabulary
band were all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them in hand. Each one was an artist
in his own line, and all of them had
seen service in the military bands of
the Spanish regime. However, there
was tremendous task for the band
master. The men possessed execution
without idea. They could read notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that is only a small part
of concerted playing.
Naturally quick to catch new ideas,
they soon grasped the meaning of the
attack" on which the effect of a
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and it is in
this that their playing is so marvellous.
In the tender, sympathetic passages of
a selection tAe tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which it
rises, without crash and without a
blare, sweeping majestically upward
and onward until the enraptured
listener is engulfed in a mighty bill
low of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst of melody in
such climax as that which occurs in
the sextette of Lucia, and no band ever
handled its climaxes better
In the most powerful tone, there is
not the slightest suggestion of brassi-
ness. 1t is all liquid music. This is
due almost wholly to the instrumental
tion, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead of the large num-
ber of saxaphones, the Instruments
tion includes four sarrusaphones and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari-
nets are not used merely for accom-
paniment but actually carry the sec
ond voice.
| The music produced is not simply
that of brass band, but is varied for
effect to resemble strings, human
voices and even the pipe organ.
Among the players there are several
excellent violinists, and the personnel
of the band is sometimes rearranged
into an orchestra Of 10 men and also
into a guitar glee club.
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, is ma
tive of st. Paul. and graduate of the
New England conservatory of music.
To his genius and devotion much of
the success of the Constabulary band
is due.
Would that every American citizen
might listen to one of his matchless
programmes, drink in all the harmony
and all the splendor of the best band
in the United States, yes, and stay te
the close. The close is the most i'm
pressive part of the concert. No one
could listen to the playing of "The
Star Spangled Banner" by that band
of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other Fillpinos, their hats over
their hearts and their heads bowed, and
doubt that they are loyalty American.

Parker a Safe Candidate.

Republican leaders publicly say that
Parker is a safe man, Privately they
say Roosevelt is unsafe 1t is this diff
ference between the two men that is
making the republicans doubtful and
the democrats hopeful. There is no
telling what Roosevelt will do; we are
likely to awaken any morning and find
we are at war with some other coun-
try" is the way one republican ex-
presses it. No one believes that Par
ker would ever do anything rash Six
months ago the democrats were re-
signed to defeat and the republicans
were so sure of success that they inter
posed no obstacles in Roosevelt's way
Now it is the democrats who are con-
fident while the republicans are in
doubt.-Hartford City Ind.) News.

SONG OF The HAYEIELp.


Tis pleasant to see the meadows bow
TO the sweep of the modern mower;
The swaying fields to the long, keen
knives
Their plumes and iances lower.
But OH for the sweet, prosaic past,
And the 3rythe's old-fashioned song;
For the rare, rich smell Of the grass
which fell
In the billowy windrows long!
Mayhap the haying is now but play.
With the aid of modern skill;
Mayhap it takes but day and day
The roomy old barn to fill;
But oh! for the scythe's old-fashioned
swath;
For the mower who went a-field,
And the muscles strong as they swung
along
That their brawny arms revealed!
What though it required month or
more,
Instead Of day and day?
The hours were glad and the heart was
strong,
And the labor was as play;
Then oh! for the sweet, prosaic past,
And the scythe's old-fashioned song,
For the rare, rich smell of the grass
which fell
In billowy windrows long!

WHAT THE TARIFF COSTS.
Average Of One Hundred Dollars Per
Year for Each Family in the
United States.

Ii the protectionists cannot show
that all are protected by the tariff it
must be admitted that protection is not
applied equally, and unequal taxation
Is an abomination. From the very
nature of things protection cannot be
universal, or there would be no bene-
fit for anyone. If every one was
taxed for the benefit of every one else
no one would be the gamer. The pol
icy and practice of the protective tariff
is to make the many pay for the bene-
fit of the few.
How few receive any advantage from
the protective tariff of the $4,000 900
which the census of 1900 shows are
engaged in gaiIful occupations-that
is the workers and laborers of the
United States. 1t is admitted that but
very few farmers receive any benefit
from the tariff and yet there were
10,300,000 persons engaged in agricul-
ture. Men and women in the profes-
sions numbered 1,25S,000. Can it be
shown that the Ill, ,63S clergymen, the
14,460 lawyers, the 10000 doctors
and the 446, 1873 teachers have had their
incomes increased by the protective
tariff?
The 5,580,000 persons in domestic
and personal service. of whom 1861
721 were servants and walters, 131, ZIG
BARRIERS, and 155i53 housekeepers and
stewards-has the Dingley law raised
their pay? How many of the 4,766,000
people in trade and transportation
have received a cent from Uncle Sam?
There were 630,127 clerks, 254,sS0
boollkeepers, Gil ,139 statesmen and the
5S2,150 railroad employees, all paying
their share of tariff taxes, but receiv-
ing no benefit in return.
Now we come to the 1885, 900 per
sons employed in manufacturing pur-
suits" about one-fourth of the whole
number of workers. But very large
proportion of these derive no benefit
from the tariff, for the 346,S84 dress
makers, the 229,649 tailors, the 600,-
900 carpenters, without taking time to
select thousands more, cannot be said
to have any advantage from the tariff.
But all these and every one else
paid towards an average for each fam
lily in the United States $16.52 tariff
tax to Uncle Sam in 1902 and the tax
the workers paid was in some cases
even more than the masters paid for
the rate of duty is often higher on the
cheaper goods, and yet the protection
lists say the tariff is to protect labor.
But what Uncle Sam receives is a
small tax compared to what the trusts
charge each family through the pro-
lection the tariff gives them, which is
computed by the most expert statistf-
clans to be for 1902 1914 for each fam
lily, or nearly six times as much as the
government takes in at the custom
houses.
No wonder the cost of living is high
and that those with small incomes find
it difficult to pay this monstrous tax
which the republican policy of high
protection imposes. We might stand
the tariff tax the government gets If 1t
did not protect and foster the trusts In
plundering us.

DAVIS A FRIEND OF LABOR.
Democratic Candidate Writes Letter
on the Way He Has Always
Treated His Employees.

The following letter from H. G. Davis.

has been made public at Roanoke, Va.
Elkins, W. Va, Aug. Is, 19O4.-Mr. I. v.
Johnson, Roanoke, Va.-My Dear Mr.
Johnson: l am glad to have your letter
calling my attention to the publication
placing me in an attitude of hostility to the
laboring class. No one who knows me per-
sonally or is at all acquainted with the cir
cumstances of my life will put any Gre
dence in the statements to which YOU re-
fer. / think can we'll claim that belong
to the laboring class. For many years I
worked in the ranks as a wage Garner and
l know what 1t is to earn my living by
the sweat of my brow. On the other hand.
I have been large employer of labor, ~
railroads, coal mines, lumber mills. etc..
and have never had any serious trouble
with our men, I can recall but two in
stances in which there were strikes. ana
these were Of short duration and peaceably
settled No man has ever been discharged
from our service because he was unior
man, or been evicted from a company's
house for any reason. think you will find
that the conditions of the railroad man
and the miner in connection with the enter.
prises I have directed will compare most
favorably with those in other localities Of
the country.
have always believed, and my convic-
tion came from the hard school of expert
ence, that, measured by the character of
the work he does, and the cost of living,
every man is entitled to full compensation
for his services.
/ am charged with having instituted pro-
ceedings which led to an injunction against
strikers by Judge Jackson, of this state.
The fact is that had nothing whatever to
do with the case and knew nothing about
the matter until read of it in the news
papers. The injunction did not apply to the
men in our employment or pertain to them,
in any way. On the contrary, remember
on one occasion one of our superintendents
suggested an injunction against our men
and l declined to consider it.

Features in Food and Drink.

The Worlds Fair is full Of new
things, new features and interesting
experiments in the way of food and
drink. Prominent among the new bev-
erages introduced at the Exposition
are banana coffee and prune coffee.
At one of the California county ex-
hibits in the Palace of Agriculture the
prune coffee is furnished by the
county, to teach the public the value Of
this experiment as pleasant beverage.
The banana coffee is served in the
same building, but at different ex-
hibit, the purpose being to show the
wonderful food value Of the banana.

~U- HERE are some people who
AA still assert that the United
XMN States obtained nothing,
NIX through the annexation Of
sa the Philippines, but lot of
naked savages. In spite of
the governments display at the Worlds
Fair, which shows, in addition to the
four wild tribes, the refined Visayans
with their beautiful fabrics and
their delicate embroideries, the loyal
brown soldiers of Uncle Sam and
the cultured commissioners and Off
cials, there are some purblind indi-
Viduals who refuse to see that the Fill
pino is anything but nuisance and
menace to our country.
That he could be capable of civiliza-
tion and uplifting seems utterly ridic-
ulous to--those who have studied him?
No, to the class who dare not visit
the Philippine reservation at the
Worlds Fair for fear of being con.
WINGED against their will. That
great many OF the natives of the is-
lands could already be cultured and
refined would be set down as utterly
preposterous by this class.
The soreheads need not be bound
and carried by violence across the fac
simile Bridge of Spain, through the
Walled City to the heart of the most
wonderful section of the entire ex-
position. They should only be enticed
to listen for an hour to the playing of
the Constabulary band. No man with
an ounce of appreciation in his soul
could hear that band without being
convinced that the 81 men who com,
pose it's membership are far above the
ordinary in both intelligence and senti.
ment A nation or a race may be
judged by its music. A natural feel
ing for rhythm and harmony is not
an attribute of a chaotic or unbalanced
mind. 1t is discord that leads the way
to senseless vandalism and causeless
rebellion.
In behalf of the Filipino it must be
said that he is natural musician
Even the savage head-hunters, in their
peculiar tribal dances, manifest re-
markable feeling for rhythm. There
Is none Of the Indians wild noise and
broken time in their beating of brass
tomtoms and their somewhat monoto-
nous singing. They possess the mus.
ical instinct that, with time and train
ing, may be developed into just what
the members of the two Philippine
bands already possess.
The Scout band is an exceptionally
good military band. such as we have
heard before. The Constabulary band
is in class by ITSELF 1t is not to be
compared with any of the other ex.
position bands. Its concerts are held
daily in the large bandstand in the
Philippine plaza, and those who have
heard one concert will gladly forsake
the most interesting exhibit and walk
the entire distance from the heart of

Judge Rogers, of Skagway, and all the other court commissioners in Judge NJ. c. Browns district, have received a circular letter notifying them to en- force the anti-gambling laws.
 Judge Brown instructed the recent grand jury at Juneau to investigate the gambling question, and it refused to do so. When the jury made it's final re- port it was scored by the court, and at that time, as was the case in Skagway, the court said gambling must stop. The circular letter to the court com miSSiOners is the result.
