Democratic Convention.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
A bid for the Democratic national
convention from lite Bessemer,
suburb of Birmingham, promises that
the delegates will be fed "on the
good things of life, Southern Bar
becue, fried chicken, Alabama ham,
Bessemer district beef. Jefferson
county lamb, roasting ears, water
ground corn bread, sweet potatoes,
Old Mammys biscuits, cakes and pies
and all the good things of three
square meals a day to be found only
in Dixie land" Humor will out even
in grimy Bessemer. The Dixie meals,
owing TO free use of the frying pan,
seem square enough to the digestive
system. Out side of New Orleans the
South has little cause to crow over
its cuisine, and no worse fate could be
wished for the Democratic delegates
than a series of bolted meals in the
average Southern town. When a ma
tional convention is In session there
is precious little time for the pleas
ures of the table. Cities desiring one
of these gatherings should advertise
delicacies that can be consumed easily
and digested instantaneously.

ECRETARY MACVElGH Of the Treasury De-
- rartment addressing a learned Philadelphia
society assailed the pension system under
which veterans Of the Civil War and
those dependant upon them receive money
from the Government He thinks the sys-

Kind Of pensioning which would be open to far
greater abuse-the pensionng Of employees in the
Departments at Washington and those who hold
other posts under the Government
If it be burden on the people to keep up pen
soning of the veterans how great would be the
burden of a civil pension list
Why should there be a pensoniug or civil en-
ployes? The Government has no difficulty in get
ting men TO accept jobs in its service. No one
complains that the Government employees at
Washington overworked- They certainly do
not labor harder than men in other vocations.
There are always men anxious for Government
places.

ployes from taking life insurance and making

old age and rainy day.

sions pensions for Government employees The
trouble with many people is that they do not ex-

from the folk song, in which a given
melody may be used to illustrate sue
cessively scenes of love, hatred peace
or war. In his treatment of The
Loreley" a complete miniature drama
is enacted before our eyes, and List
translates this into music. The pen
sive opening bars are prelude to the
poets query, why he feels so sad to-
day and why legend of old times
keeps lingering in his mind Then we
get a vision of the calmly flowing
Rhine with gently undulating music,
and in the twilight we behold the
maiden sitting on the rocks, combing
her golden hair She sings song
which has a strange melody-a most
seductive song in LISTS version. The
boatman passing in his skih below is
entranced; wild longing seizes his
soul; he gazes fiXedly at the maiden
above, Needless of the dangerous
rocks about him; and her song is to
blame, if the waves at last engulf him
with his boat.
"Mignon," the second of LISTS Ger
man songs has longing for it's key
note-longing for blue-skyed Italy.
This emotion is feelingly portrayed in
the opening bars and is recurrent
throughout the entire song This
poem, like the Loreley," furnishes the
pictorial features which List so de-
lighted to set to music.
The memory of List has been hon
ored in a practical manner wherever
his work has been understood and ap-
preciated. Weimar, Budapest and
other towns have raised monuments to
the genius who was for so long asso-
ciated with them. AS an Interpretive
artist List has had no rival, and
whatever the final verdict of posterity
may be with regard to his claims as n
creative musician, his influence on art
has been such that his name can never
be forgotten

lowing authorities which were consult

/ pie. Austen really is handicapped b.
being the son of his father, for while
/ he has great ability, it isn't the same
kind as his fathers, and that is what
people are looking for. He is plod-
ding, steady-going politician, who
masters all his subjects and devotes
all his life to politics.
He made an excellent if uninspiring
chancellor of the exchequer in Bal.
tours government, and, by the way. it
may not be generally known that it is
to Austen that Balfour probably owes
the fact that he still is leader of the
tory party. When Joseph Chamber
lain resigned his post in the cabinet to
start his protective tariff agitation he
was urged by his friends to depose
Balfour, and it is believed he could
have done so. He refused because his
son had just been appointed chancel-
lor of the exchequer and he wanted to
give the boy a chance" To attack
Balfour would have meant an imme-
date general election and a possible
defeat for his party.
Bonar Law, the third of the trio OF
aspirants for Balfour's shoes, is the
least inspiring Of all to the man in

who made a fortune as an ironmaster
in Glasgow and then went into politics.
He is, as one would expect, from his
training, an animated reference book.
Facts and figures are always at his
finger ends and he is an authority
on all matters connected with trade.
The politicians look on him as a safe
man" and no doubt many of them
would prefer him to either Smith or
Chamberlain, but something more
than "safeness" is wanted to win Eng
