A Survival Of Steamboat Days.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat).

One mournful note was heard in the
circus parade yesterday. It was the
voice of the calliope. The other music
was Of the regulation kind and we'll up
to the standard. The "ballyhoo" music,
which pre-eminently distinguishes cir
Gus music from all other sorts Of music,
was as good as ever The calliope, too.
had the necessary "timbre" and "tonal
quality" to express its motif" But It
wasn't it's motif which disturbed us. It
was the "reminiscences it recalled when,
reaching high G in response to am en-
core, it wheeZed in the upper register
and sobbed a sob for aud lang syne.
For the calliope is a survival Of good
old days when great steamboats,, ply
Ing all the way from New Orleans up
to st. Louis on the Mississippi and to
Cincinnati on the Ohio, announced their
arrival off every important port be-
tween the terminal points by lifting the
lid from the calliope and letting nature
take its course. loft In the Silly
night" the first notes of the calliope
could be heard anywhere in st. Louis

Anchor line most Of which were equip

BEING DIFFERENT.

eft is not at all necessary that there
should be a striking difference between
Mr. Young and Mr.. Kenyon. altAo the
one may hold somewhat different opln-
ions on some questions. Strange as
NAV seem to the Marshalltown editor.
Iafe Young was no enemy of the publc
good. He is an Iowa man who mas heen
devoted to the welfare of Iowa. lie Is
a moral man, an intelligent man ana
there is as much patriotic blood IN him
as there is in the NarshautoWn ecltor.
Senator Kenyon is not so mario" as
to believe that he has to be merely dlt-
ferent from ex-senator Young. Cedar
Rapids Republican.
On the contrary. for Mr.. Kenyon TO
retain the loyalty of northern Iowa
which elected him it is necessary for
him to be exceedingly different from
Mr.. Young politically and he made
very good start when he lined up for
recognition of the progressives on sem
ate committees. Young would have
voted directly opposite.

What Money Can Mot Buy.
CWall Street Journal


When the school teachers Of Chicago
propose to collect cent from every
child Of school age TO raise $4,000 as a
prize for a national song" one Won
ders what kind of education these chill
dren are receiving IN other respects If
there is one thing which or dollhouse
clearly than another 1t is that the
things worth having are precisely those
which money can not buy.
Could al the wealth of Wall street
buy the Marseilaiseo Could we pay a
Haydn to write Hymn to the En-
peror" Ike the Austrian national an
them? Have we not been obliged to
teal the music and even the words OF
our national songs from other people :?
And yet the school teachers of Chicago
have failed to learn that all our wealth
has not been sufficient to buy the thing
which their children are taught to be-
lieve. Is within the reach OF a few pence.
When shall we get people to realize
that some things are spontaneous. and
can not be bought with gold or stimu-
lated by Iegislationo Songs are born

neither the law maker nor the money
maker knows charm for 95 per cent
Of the sorrows they endure or of the
unhappinesses they enjoy. The great

for love and not for money. Plenty Of

friends as Milton received for Para

QUIT CLUBBING AND TRY HOLDEN.

When Professor Holden said--if ne
did say-that in event Ernest Moore Of
Linn county, should be candidate for
governor he would run against him he
took q narrow view Of the controversy.
The row SO far it is personal be-
tween Moore and Holden is of small
interest except TO themselves. Neither
Moore nor Holden is in the minds OF
any considerable number of voters as
glibernatorial possibilities. Neither ever
had much more than the legal oppor-
tuty Of all constitutionally eligible citi-
zens to be governor. About the only
bearing the muss has on the governor
ship is. that if Mr.. Moore ever had
more than the constitutional Oppor
tunity referred 10, the Holden row is
in the nature OF frost. In short whilo
. personal grievance may limit it never
enlarges opportunity. 1t is ridiculous
10 una sins the So-crcc-s!ir =; g bone
of contention between Moore and
Holden.
But Holden has been Of large actual
service TO the state. he mas accom- =
plished things in his line. He has
earned the right to square trea tment
in Iowa.
Isl The square thing TO do is for the
educational board to investigate Holden
at once II it intends to do so at all.
Newspaper attacks are not the proper
methods Of trial. Just at present the
Cedar Rapids Republican is busy as
q cranberry merchant trying Holden.
Mr.. Moore lives in Cedar Rapids. Mr..
Trewin and Mr.. Boyd. of the educa-
aional board, live in Cedar Rapids Per-
haps the accident of residence has
nothing to do with the activity of the
Republican. Nevertheless the thought
Obtrudes that the place to try Holden
IS not in the newspapers and especially
not in the Cedar Rapids Republican.
The Moore Holden affair is one for
as.a..sc -:.:--:. ard the evidence i, .he
case. Fairness Is all either side or
faction can Justly demand. Holden is
an enthusiast and enthusiasts are the

which begins near a point opposite
Jefferson Barracks. Once started, the
noise always continued until the boat
was at the wharf and then died in a
gasp to assure the farthest listener
that anchor had been cast.
Distance lends enchantment to tho
calliope's voice. Heard at night, float
Ing across q quiet city from steam
boat coming upstream, there used to be
in 1t suggestion of beauty which we
can not. by any force OF imagination,
detect in 1t in circus parade. And
why, to put the question for the asking
Of which this article was begun, should
the calliope be with us still and the
steamboat gone? Or. why should the
calliope have been taken over by the
circus as Its peculiar property after
the steamboats, were no more? The
circus and the steamboat We're con-
temporaneous and flourished together
in days and nights when the calliope
was travelling with the steamboat and
not With the circus. The steamboat Is
gone and the circus remains, and.
strange fate the caliope, refusing to
give up the ghost, has taken to the cir
live the circus. 1t is a friend to ev-
erybody. But the voice Of the callope.
heard close at hand. sounds to us as the
OF Rachel weeping for her lost
steamboats, and refusing to be
comforted because they are not. And
Of late there has come into the caliope's
music an intermezzo or undertone Of
hope which signs an expectation that
the boats are coming back Surely the
trinity will be broken until the boats,
the circus and the calliope are together
again

There are two democratic members
of the Indiana delegation who do not
speak when they meet in the house or
at the hotel in which they both live.
1t is an unfortunate affair but ono that
makes peace negotiations difficult and
embarrassing.
Representative William A Cullop, Of
the Second Indiana district has long
been known as the double OF J. Pier
pont Morgan. This statement. OF
course, conveys the impression that
Mr.. Cullop has an abnormal nose. Mr..
Morgan is said to be sensitive about
his nose. SO, too. Is Mr.. Cullop.
When Representative Cline was sent
to congress to represent the Twelfth
district he was invited to dinner by
Mr.. Cullop. Mr.. Cline was thinking
deeply about the new burdens imposed
upon him by his district and swears
that he was gazing into space.
While thus Dre-Occupied he was in
terrupted by Mr.. Cullop.

about" said Mr.. CulIop, suddenly.

You're thinking about what a big
nose have. and you're wondering why
I've got it,
you do me a great Injustice" de-
clared Mr.. Cline.

Never mind" said Cu1lop. I've got
a big nose, and I'll tell you how l got

Martin w. Littleton, who defeated
Farmer" Cooks in the Roosevelt dis
trict on Long Island. came to the house
of representatives, with the reputation
of being one of the best orators In the
United States. He likewise came with
the reputation OF being one OF the best
lawyers in the country. His fame as
an orator became established when he
nominated Alton Parker for the presi-
dency. His ability as a lawyer was rec
ognized in the Thaw case and latterly
in connection with the case of Charles
w. Morse.
With such a reputation Littleton was
looked upon as one OF the scholars. He
unconsclously disabused the minds of
members who believed him to be a
scholar in the general acceptance OF
that term Littleton was endeavoring
to describe his sensations as a new
member Of the house.
This all seems mighty strange to
me-" ne said to group OF democrats
before Champ Clark was elected speak
err. II don't quite know how I can
describe the feelings OF man who
had not dreamed OF becoming 4 men,
Der of such a great body. II isn't like
becoming member OF a club: or
Joining the bar. or entering the court
room in a great murder case. / must
confess that I am at loss to describe
my sensations. 1t seems like some fes-
tive occasion.
Il know what you arc getting at"
interrupted a democrat ITO a new
member It's like graduation day"
"Graduation day." echoed Littleton.
II can't compare my sensations to
graduation day because I never grad
uated from anything. Just picked up
my education on the fly"
