Americans A rlusicaI People.

1t has often been urged that we
are an unmusical people. In view
OF the great progress made in the
last few wears one NAV begin to
doubt this dictum. With Ameri-
can singers winning laurels in al
most every capital, with conserva-
tories OF the highest rank in every
large American city, with native
composers whose works are begin
ming to make their way in France,
England and Germany, the musi-
cal characteristics OF this country
cannot be as weak as some preju-
diced writers would have us be-
lieve. But the chief advance ought
to be made through good music at
home. When the American home
music begins to become as energet-
ic in other directions as it has re-
Gently been in the piano repertoire,
it will mean very much for the adj
vance of our national taste in mus
ic, it will mean the ripening OF
culture which has already had
some growth in almost every
household.-Louis c.

Attack VIII Fail.

1t has become apparent that the
| Democrats propose to attack Mr.
Gooding as sheepman, seeking
the public to draw the inference
that, as governor, he would dis
criminate in favor of the interests
Of the wool growers.
That line of attack is destined to
fail because OF the fact that Mr..
Gooding has been tried on that sub
ject and found to be true. When
the conspiracy was organized two
wears ago among certain sheepmen
to defeat the republican candi-
date for the supreme bench, Mr.
Gooding, then chairman of the
state committee, opposed it with
all the vigor of his natnre. So
soon as it became known that such
work was in progress, he did every
thing possible to stop the move
ment. Though he was one of the
largest owners of sheep in the state,
he at once took a stand against
that plan to secure special advan-
tage for the wool interests and de-
voted the remaining days of the
campaign to fighting the program.
1t was not perfunctory .opposi-
ton that Mr.. Gooding made to
that program to defeat the repub-
lican candidate for supreme bench.
it was a hard, determined contest
in which nothing was left undone
that could be done to check the de-
lection. Had no such fight been
made, it is probable the cut would
have been much greater, and If the
election would have proved at all
close the republican nominee
would have been defeated To |
show how far the plot spread, the |
fact may be mentioned that the re-
publican candidate at whom it was
directed was cut some 1900 votes
in the sheep counties The work
was carried on very secretly. and II /
was well under way before the pub
lie became aware of what was go.
ng on. But, though the sheepmen /,
we're engaged in the work in such
arge numbers, Mr.. GoodiDg took
lp the eudgel against them and
headed them off in many quarters,
Il will be difficult for the demo-
rats to turn votes away from Mr.,
iooding in the face of thar record

WANTS NEW TICKET

Dubois HowIs for Another
State Convention.

The state campaign has hardly
opened, and yet conditions in the
democratic party are daily grow
ing more complicated, and the
party platform and tickesare being
looked upon more and more with
disgust. The Boise Capital News,
which has been making strenuous
efforts to find an excuse for sup
porting the state ticket is gradual
ly finding its position anything
but comfortable, and editorially
vents its disgust with the party or
ganization and state platform and
ticket. and voices the disgrunted
feeling which is general among the
democrats of Southern Idaho. 1t
says:
1t is understood that Senator
Dubois and several of his lieuten-
ants will meet in Boise Friday in
the capacity of an executive COM
mittee to ill the vacancies on his
Lewiston state ticket. There are
three places now vacant, and it is
quite generally believed that Miss
French will decline the doubtful
honor of Dubois nomination,
which will make four of the most
important Offices to be filed By
some who are strong enough adher-
ents OF the senator to be willing to
pull his chestnuts out of the fire;
to be marked for certain defeat in |
order that Senator Dubois may lay |
the foundation for non-partisan,

THREE JAPANESE ARMIES.

Shang Hal, April GA letter re.
ceived here from Kobe, Japan, says the
Japanese government has $4,000 troops
In motion and fully 10000 more under
arms in garrlsons and at the depots
These numbers are exclusive Of the
third reserves, numbering 10000
which have not been called to the
colors. The exact number Of troops
which have left Japan for their various
destinations Is not known, but the en-
tire first army has been landed and
has established itself In northwestern
Korea. 1t Is generally believed that
IT will operate three armies, each
nominally numbering 100000 men.
The Japanese are confident that the
Russians will be unable to transport
supplies sufficient to maintain in Man
churia q force larger than 100000 men.

st. Petersburg, April 6.-Within a
week large masses Of Russian troops
will advance from Mukden and Liao
Yang to positions on the upper and
lower Yalu, which General Kuropatkin
has deciced to attack, in view Of the
report that the Japanese are beginning
to fall back before the Russian out
posts Nevertheless, military circles
here are convinced that an important
engagement on land is not to be looked
for soon, for apparently the activity Of
the Russians will be limited to the
storming Of Pakchon and ANU, where
the Japanese have still small force.
At the sight Of the numerous Rus
sian trains, the Chinese in Manchuria
are said to shake their head and re-
mark, "How will Japan fare against
such strength" It Is the sight Of these
vast warlike preparations also which

Of the Japanese into Manchuria will be

however, look with much misgiving on
the Russian troop trains and are be-
ginning slowly to withdraw.

ARE GOVERNOR HoGH's WORDS 4
His Colleagues Arc Aggrisysd To such
Extont That They Are Ready to Vote
Him Ont OF Tho Senate Unless H.
Resigns. s

Washington, April 4.-Senator Bur
ton is credited with having been
guilty Of an indiscretion in testifying
that other senators have been making
money on the side, and II is said a
number Of his colleagues feel ag-
grieved to such an extent that they
are ready to vote him out Of the senate
unless he resigns. The talk among
the aggrieved senators Is that they are
willing to give him reasonable time TO
resign, and that If he does not do SO,
they will vote for motion Of expul-
sion. This feeling Notwithstanding,
1t is still the prevalent belief that no
radical measures will be taken unless
Burton should come back and attempt
to occupy his seat. According to con-
sentative views, the senate will wait
until the result of the appeal is known.
Topeka. e. W. Hoch, in an editorial
in the Marion Record about Senator
Burton's conviction, says;
"Without reference to party or fac.
ton, everyone whose bosom throbs
with common human sympathies must
feel sad over the fate that has befallen
Senator Burton. He is a gifted man.
He is almost brilliant in his intellec-
tuality. To see such star eclipsed is
painful to every normal soul. To wit
ness such calamity to brother man
is occasion for profound sorrow. Only
ghouls rejoice in such catastrophes.
Only those capable Of worse crimes
than they condemn are glad when such
fate befalls an energetic human be-
ing. Especially will all be sorry for
the accomplished and lovely lady who
bears the senator's name and must
bear also a full share of his shame"

Flynn went before the committee on

against the legality Of such action on
the ground that congress has no power

can only direct where the capital shall
be located until the state Is formed. N

st. Petersburg. April 5.-A detailed
account OF the Russian troops in the
far east has been made up. The LIST
was drawn up on the evening Of
March rs by the general staff at Har.
bin. There were then in Manchuria
10000 infantry, 1900 cavalry and 25d
cannon. OF this number 10000 infan.
try, 5000 cavalry and 30 cannon
have been told off to guard the rail

Although the bulk of the troops is
concentrated opposite Korea, the
strategical front extends 1000 kilo-
