Money Rewards Of Singers.
ILeslie,s Monthly.


After years OF hard. uphill struggle
and study singer may be recognized
as successful. What is her reward ?
The season ds short few weeks of fail
festivities, a wee kor two of Christmas
concerts and few weeks of spring fes-
rivals with sprinkling of individual
concerts between times make up the
list of her opportunities. When she
obtains an engagement there Is much
more preparation necessary than rub
bling up her knowledge of the work to
be given and singing the rehears al-of-
ten pubhic-with the local chorus the
day of the afternoon before the per-
Torrance. She must watch TO- drafts;
a cold would disable her completely.
She must be constantly careful of the
atmosphere she breathes.
She receives in compensation, two,
three or four hundred dollars, from
which must be deducted many expens-
es. There are probably not a dozen
American concert and oratorio singers
who clear $4,000 year, from singing,
including $1,000 or $1,000 they receive
from churches or synagogues. And the
study and work they did at the start
was only the, beginning of study and
work, they must do all their life. OF the
rest few make a considerable amount
of money by being invited ito wealthy
private houses, singing for people there
and receiving checks the next lay for
their Kindness. The vast majority OF
the remained exist on s25 and $50 con-
cert or take to teaching, or drift into
comic opera. or in the end weary of it
all and do something else.

MINOR POLITICAL PARTIES.

Some statistics on the figure the min
or political parties will cut in the COM
Ing presidential contest are given by
the New York Tribune.
The total vote Of the side show par
ties in 1900 was less than 100000 in a
total presidential vote Of over 10000
000 Each attracts q small and devot-
cd followed but none has shown so far,
except the popuhst organization, ca
pacity to seize on current issues or ex-
plot them In way to touch the popu-
lar Imagination; nor has any of them,
oven the populist party. ever develop
cd a leader of commanding ability or
exceptional foresight The campaign OF
1896 left the populist party wreck.
Fusion with the democracy killed pop
ulism IN the south, and in the west al
ter the second fusion of 1900, the rem
na1,ts OF the party were swept bodily
into the democratic ranks. In 1877
General Weaver, the populist candidate
for president polled 1,041, 467 votes. In
1900 Wharton Barker, the Middle OF
the Road canda date got 50.030. A re-
union OF the two factions this year
might slightly increase the populist
martyrs strength: but If a democratic
candidate is nominated acceptable to
NE radical elements which acknowledge
Mr.. Bryan's leadership, the popuiist Or

The prohibition party has apparent

In 1892, Bidwell, as a presidential can
didate got 270. 367 votes In 1900 Wool
lev got 209,062. There Is no prospect OF
a turn this year an this weakened and
starnant party's fortunes. The social
ist Marty. known in 1900 as the social
democratic party has shown in recent
vaars some signs of vitality. Its vote
IN 1900 was 92,142. 1t is strongest in
Massachusetts, New York. California.
Illinois and Wisconsin. The socialist
labor marty is a somewhat mysterious
organization, with a smaller following
than any of its rivals among the minor

over third of that total being cast in
New York.

A Startling Test.

To save a life DR.. T. G. Merritt, Of
North Mehoopany. Pa, made a start
ling test resulting in wonderful cure.
He writes: "a patient was attacked
with violent hemorrhages, caused by
liberation of the stomach. I had often
found Electric Bitters excellent for
acute stomach and liver troubles, SO
prescribed them. The patient gained
from the first, and has not had an at
tack In fourteen months" Electric Bit
tiers are positively guaranteed for dys-
pepsia, indigestion, constipation and
kidney troubles. Try them. Only SO

made" The turning down Of Beving-
ton. of Sioux City. the man who for
several years has carried that city's
politics in his vest pocket" was also
a matter of congratulation. Somehow
political deals which may find favor in
ward politics. were not invited o.:
publican convention.
The New York Tribune recently
said that the use of potato alcohol
to furnish light, heat and motive
power, has developed rapidly and TO
a very high degree III Germany Ger
many produces about 55,00o,0oo tons OF
potatoes a year. and uses for human
food. stock food and starch, only about
81. OOO. 900 tons. The remainder is
converted into alcohol, and used as a
power generator for both land and
water motors, and for cooking, heat
ing and lighting. The alcohol vapor Is
burned like gas, in chandeliers, and
street lamps and gives very prl9ht
light, In districts distant from mines
1t is cheaper than coal. 1t would be
interesting IL some one would furnish
Iowa farmers the cost of potato alco-
hol in Germany. Some years ago 4
railroad president convinced the farm
ers along his line in Iowa that there
was big money in potatoes for shipping
purposes. 1t happened to be "a good
wear for potatoes" and a very bad one
for those who planted a big acreage.
for many carloads were shipped that
did not bring enough to pay the
freight charges, and many acres We're
not dug because there was no markeF
for them. If there is process cheap
enough to make a fuel power TO COM
pete with coal in Germany, 1t sounds
reasonable to suppose we can do IL III
Iowa. and "55,000.000 tons of potatoes
raised in Germany" will be small fig
ures to what we can do with Iowa SOIL.
And this brings to mind another old
statement on the fuel question. 1t IS
this: If farmer viii plant ten acres
of corn each year, for twenty years,
for fuel and actually burn this pro
duct instead of coal or wood, he will
get more heat i. e., cheaper fuel, than
IL he sets out trees on the ten acres,
and cuts off the wood at the end of
twenty years. And the writer is told
that the product of ten acres of corn
for. say twenty years. il burned as
fuel. is cheaper and a better business
proposition, than to sell this
corn raised on the ten acres and buy
coal. Much better If the work of "A man
and team is taken into account and tn =
corn hauled to town and the coal haul
al ont TO the farm The writer was
once in the town of Holmes, Iowa, and
saw q farmer sell two loads of corn to
buy one load of coal AL We're small
loads but this farmer in mud time act
ually went thru this performance. Once
at Fontanelle the writer saw farmer
sell a small load of soft ear corn at 10
cents "a bushel and buy of the same
dealer a load of cobs at 81 per wagon
load. SO that even in Iowa, especially
the farther away from the coal mines.
these questions of using the soil to
produce fuel, can we'll be studied,
whether 1t takes the form of raising
corn or potatoes for heat, light and mo-
tive power. TT some of our agricultural
papers with time and inclination would
take up this potato alcohol question
and give their readers facts and figures

A WISE EXECUTIVE POLICY.

| When the letters so damaging to GER
| tain political regulations were publish
ed by Dies Moines paper in its report
on the Shercliffe parole case the stand
| pat press of the state attacked the pres
emit state admims;ra tion for giving out
| the letters and condemned their pub
liicatlon as a political trick calculated to
| injure Secretary Shaw. Since then
there has been notable change. Most
of these papers are ready now to ex
cu1pate Governor Cummins and urge
the purity of Governor Shaw's inten-
tons. In fact the Shercliffe case proved
| a hot potato. They were sorry they
| picked it UP and dropped 1t with alac-
rity. The more 1t was handled the no.
ter It grew.
| Now Governor Cumnlins comes for
| ward in the manly fashion that dis
| tinguishes him and declares that he
knew nothing about the Shaw
Shercliffe imbroglio until the
fasts became public. He had
never heard OF the Hubbard
letter and did not know of those of
Judge Van Wagenen. Pinkerton and
others. So far as he knew until he
read the exposure In a Chicago news
| paper there had been nothing irreg-
| ular in the granting OF the parole.
| However. the former goes on to say:
Il do not attempt to say. however,
that would have prevented the publ
| cation Of this matter had / been in Des
Moines. The gentlemen in charge of
my office acted in accordance with the
order Issued when first entered upon
tbs duties of the office more than two
years before took the position that
nothing unierhand should be permitted
| in pardon cases and that MI communi-
cations must be preserved In the rec
ords and the records be open TO pub
| lie inspection. Absolutely no comlnuni-
cation relative to pardons or paroles
will be received by me during my in
eumbency of the office of governor that
are not preserved. Those who attempt
TO approach me on the subject have re-
ceived the invariable response from
me that l would hear nor read nothing
relative to executive ciemcncy In such
cases without preserving it with the
4 records of the case and holding them
open to the public"
The policy of publicity upon which
the governor insists will be universally
approved except possibly by certain
politicians who find market for in
f1uencs where it may be sold for cash,
exchanged for votes OF niger trans
portation." 1t is unfortunate that Gov
ernor Shaw neglected policy so OBJ
vIously advantageous to the executive.

! request has caused SO much annoyance
