The Philharmonic Concerts.

ME Philharmonic club of Minneapolis has
pledged itself to an expenditure OF over $780,
600 this year in the support of the Symphony orches-
ira and in the engagement Of world-renowned solo-
lists to appear at the six symphony and four choral
concerts to be given during the 1t would be
impossible to embark upon such an enterprise with
out large guarantee fund to take of de-
ciency and this the club has succeeded in obtaining
from fifty public spirited citizens Of Minneapolis
But it is not all that the Symphony orchestra has
been provided, the solosts engaged and the club
guaranteed against money loss. If the concerts do
not attract the public if they do not receive the sup
port Of good houses interested in good music,
tho there be no loss money the Philharmonic club
cannot but feel that part and the larger part Of its
effort is wasted It cannot but have the feeling that
the public does not for Symphony orchestra
and under those circumstances the Symphony orches
ira will not last long. >--.z
The experiment is undertaken by the club in the
hope and expectation that it will day be so estab-
ished in public favor that it may undertake great
and greater programs than it projects without
the intervention of guarantee fund. This is the
ideal to be attained. It will be attained only when
the public has manifested it's interest in the orches-
ira and the purposes for which it stands.
The case is somewhat analogous to the work Of
the Free kindergarten association. The ladies com
posing that organization worked faithfully and
earnestly and had at last the triumph Of being able
to dissolve their corporation, having kindergarten
training school in sef-sustaining condition, and
with the kindergarten movement stimulated all over
the northwest by the work and worth of it's grad
yates.
What was done by group Of devoted women
for the kindergarten interest is demanded for the
whole public in the interest of the musical education
OF the city. The moral: If you are spending any
money this winter for your amusement, instruction
or education spend part Of it in support Of the
Philharmonic symphony orchestra concerts

Winston Churchill.

THE appointment Of Winston Churchill to the
office Of under secretary for the colonies in
the new liberal cabinet strikingly illustrates the
changing conditions Of English politics.. In other
days to have attained this position a man must
have been the eldest Of duke or have had
the backing of family which for generations had
upheld the principles Of liberalism Winston
Churchill is not the son Of duke; he is the son
of younger of the Churchill family 1t has
not been conspicuous in liberalism. It has, on the
contrary, been conspicuous the other side. Lord
Randolph Churchill a free lance tory whose
trenchant assaults upon Gladstone were only less
destructive than his eccentric support of Lord
Salisbury. Winston Churchill started in politics
in his fathers party It is less than year since,
in hot debate the army reform measures, be-
ing haunted by the ministers with backfring at
the government, he nonchalantly walked across the
floor and took seat with the opposition. . -.
His rapid rise in liberalism is undoubtedly due
to his talent for debate This is something which
counts much for an English politician as it does
against an American politician. A member Of our
house of representatives who gets reputation for
committee efficiency is leaned upon, but one whose
genius is for talking dreaded than esteemed
This comes from difference Of system. In
Great Britain all measures Of the first class are
government measures and they are threshed out
on the floor of the commons In America they
planned in committee and put thru the house
by force The English house Of commons has the
closure rule, but itGs invoked only against obstrep
erous Irishmen It is rare that representative
of an English Scotch constituency is cut off
in the flower of his rhetoric.
Winston Churchill is only thirty, and he has
all his fathers fire and fearlessness and much Of
his American mothers fine sense of diplomacy.
The admixture Of brains and tact in the boy bids
fair to carry him higher than his father ever got.

The Year 1905.

TT HE year 1905, which will pass into history in
Il few days, has been one Of most remarkable
events They include the ending of the most stu
pendous war Of our times, the rise Of Japan to the
position of great power an equal ally with Great
Britain in matchless coalition for the policing of
the seas; the disappearance of Korea nation
the fall Of autocracy in Russia and the opening
of struggle between the classes and the masses
which may yet divide with the French revolution
the horror and the admiration Of the world. Nor
way has thrown off it's connection with Sweden and
set up business as an individual kingdom; France
has finally and completely divorced church and
state; turnout Europe there has been percep
tible Strengthening of the bonds of constitutions
asln No land except Turkey finds itself in the
same condition in which it began the year. There
is no evidence Of change of policy of the
mode of thinking in that land Of faith without
practice.
Our own country has witnessed some remark
able developments. The Russo-Japanese war thrust
America into the position of practically the only
possible arbiter between the contending forces.
With splendid success President Roosevelt enacted
the difficult role American destiny assigned him,
and without treaty or alliance the United States
became at once the advisor and the friend Of all
the so-called great powers Of Europe and ASIA
While this evolution coming to its climax
the people Of this country were cleaning house
preparatory to acting we'll its part before the ma
lions Of the earth Without any question the most
marked moral elevation Of sentiment America has
experienced since the civil war found expression
in the elections Of last November. The trend which
had been given to the thought Of the people by
a few moral leaders logically made active in
the voting Politics forgotten and party lost sight
Of the issue of moral regeneration took possession
of the people; in some parts of the country with
frenzy, in others with sober, silent earnestness
but everywhere with determination to make an
end of graft politics and to return the government
! to the purposes for which it designed-the
promotion of the general welfare The sodden
politics Of twenty years swept out of the great
cities and the states which had been most submis-
sive to the boss lash were the most emphatic in
their rejection Of the system.
The wave Of reform found many politicians Of
the old school utterly unprepared. The blast was
upon them before they could shorten sail, but
even had they been warned measures born OF
skill could have availed. The storm too mas
terful for temporizing opposition.
The outlook for the future politics Of the coun-
try has been magnifcently cleared by the typhoon
of November The year has not brought to Amer
lea battle of bullets it has to Russia, but
it brought battle of ballots no less Significant

IN THE MORNING

Just happy, childish treble lifting lifting down
the way;
Just burst Of happy laughter where the little chill
dren play;
Just squeal, and then a mans voice In laugh
ing "Upseday!'
Just little babies playing in the morning.
Just father with his children swinging in old
rope swing,
Swinging high to feel the pleasure of their little
hands aching;
How their voices Tilt and gigge, how their happy
accents ring;
Just little babies playing in the morning
Just earthfoored cosy playground meath gnarly
live-oak tree;
Just little folks pretending they have got some
friends to tea;
Just browneyed, blue-eyed babies dignifed as
they can be;
just some little babies playing in the morning.
just something good to live for; just balm for
every smart;
just wee baby hands, all dimpled, shaping up a
fellows heart;
Just dad astoop for kisses when the time has
come to part;
lust some little babies playing in the morning.

Free Arts.

II HE artists of America who are in the position
= Of being tariff protected against their will
are making another effort to release works of art
from the operations Of the customs laws. The
Dingley act put works Of art on the free list in a
way which did not completely free them from the
commercial effects Of the law. It provided that
works of art might be brought in under bond for
purposes Of exhibition and education subject to a
duty if not exported within six months, or in the
discretion Of the treasury year, after their
import. Further it admitted free of duty works
of art intended to be permanently exhibited at
fixed place by any state municipality or any
society established for the encouragement Of the
arts, sciences or education.
The effect of this limitation is to throw all i'm
ported works of art into the public museums and
to constrain people owning large collections to
make museums Of their homes. In this way only
could the energetic Mrs. Gardner of Boston get
her art works into the country duty free.
The artists Of America are unit in favor Of
the complete recognition of the educational value
Of works Of art. While they might be expected
to raise an objection to the flooding Of the man
sions Of the rich with foreign pictures we're the
duties remittedy they do not view it in that way.
They believe that the presence here Of some Of the
art treasures Of the old world would tend to cor
rect taste and kindle interest in art. Their live
lihood depends upon the elevation and quickenmg
Of the public taste.

~ pressed by common consent is the costly pres
ent from subordinates to "the boss" It is

Prisoners, but Heroes.

ON BLACKWELL's ISLAND the other day
men forgot that they were convicts and re-
membered only that they were men, and when the
warden marshalled them into groups of workers
and gave them commission to rescue the women
prisoners from imminent peril from fire not a.
man flinched. Down steep stairs, thru binding.
smoke and sitting flames they bore their burdens
of shrieking, helpless humanity, and not life was
lost. And it should be said also not prisoner was
lost. When their duty to humanity had been done
they submitted themselves again to the law and
became prisoners Of the state
This incident is suggestive Of the power of
proper appeal to men in prison. They are not
always submissive; they are not always tractable;
they are not always easily manageable, but it NAV
be doubted whether as a class they are ever proof
against the charm Of proper appeal to their
manhood. sa-
The problem of prison reform hangs very much
upon the right kind Of directing brains and hearts
to make, this appeal. A prison is no place for
sappy sentiment. AS little is it place for auto
cratic cruelty. The one spells ruin to reform as
surely as the other.
The warden Of the Blackwell's Island institu-
ton seized the time and the method to quicken the
manhood of every prisoner in his care.

The Christmas SLAUGHTER.

THE slaughter of trees for the New York Christ
Il mas market alone is one million. What it
is for the entire country there is scarcely any
means Of knowing, but the wholesale cutting of
young evergreens is enormous. If the thinning
of young trees were done Systematically and scien-
tifcally the loss would be greatly mnimized, for
the reason that the thinning process in many for
ests is a positive advantage. But the cutting OF
trees for Christmas is purely a commercial bust
ness. It will scarcely be pretended that the clumps
of Young trees are thinned as a forester would
do it, He would take the least likely trees in the
most unfavorabe situation to light, air and room
and leave the others. The choppers of Christmas
trees for the trade it is greatly to be feared take
the best trees and reap the ground bare where they
begin operations.
Besides, there is a reckless disregard of the
probable demand that is dsheartening to lover
Of the trees At least 20 per cent Of those cut
are never used Probably with systematic effort
to fit the supply to the demand the cutting could
be shorn 80 or 40 per cent. How to spare the
trees without becoming iconoclasts upon the fes-
tival is the problem Of thoughtful people. Law
seems scarcely applicable to it, altho the state
should have a primary interest, since much of the
Christmas tree chopping is done on public lands
It is largely question Of educating the public
conscience to the point of preferrlng the higher
and more remote good to the present and smaller
qualification. Christmas can be enjoyed without
can be deyised children can be taught to give
posterity great benefit by depriving themselves Of
small pleasure.

American Elections-An English View.

Is NOI SO many years ago that the result OF
presidential election in the United States
celved but scant paragraph in the London news
papers, and some Of the provincial journals forgot
to mention it at all. A decided change in the in
terest manifested in little ballot squabbes has
come over England when the leading Journals OF
the larger cities devoted columns Of and edi-
torial space to the purely municipal contests which
were the striking features of our last campaign.
The difference in attitude is found to great
extent in the consideration Of the problem Of public
ownership OF municipal monopoles. Great Britain
has gone long way toward the establishment Of
the SYSTEM but not far it be well settled that
the policy is permanent. It has emphatic partizans
and violent opponents in every community. Both
sides have interpreted the recent American election
for themselves on the basis Of our supposed attl-
tude toward public ownership. The partizans point
to the great vote obtained by Mr.. Hearst in New
York and the reelection of Johnson in Cleveland
as evidence that America has seen the light. The
opponents point to the failure Of Mayor Dunno to
make good his promises in Chicago evidence that
the American people with their shrewd common
not going to be rushed into the fatal trap
Of municipal ownership.
Allowing for the fact that it is almost impos-
sbe for foreigners to accurately gage all the intiu-
ences which affect local election, they still
justified in assuming that the American people have
nicipal ownership in England. America is wonder
ing whether the example of such a conservative
country England is not safe one to follow.
But the difference in relative situations is being
taken into account. On this point the advice Of
Mr.. Dalrymple has been Of prime Importance He
did not counsel for against public ownership in
this country, but he did doubt the ACCESSIBILITY Of
putting great public plants into the hands of our
local governments at present organized. The
American people do not doubt that they conduct
their business with reasonable degree Of sue
cess, if given proper chance. They are not yet
convinced either that it is necessary to take the
business Of providing light and transportation out
Of private hands or that they any event better
themselves by turning vast business enterprises
to purely political servants
The one thing that has come out Of the discus
sion with ineffaceable clearness is that the people
own the streets, and that If there is any surplus
profit in the operation of municipal monopoies after
repaying capital reasonable interest on the sums
actually invested it belongs to the people and must
be returned to them either in taxes or in rent for
the use Of the highways. Whether this rent is to
be secured by taking possession Of the properties and
operating them, by. making proper arrangements
with private capital to them, has not yet been
clearly determined in America.
