;, . ( A JOKE WITH-- MORAL.

ifhere several candidates for thetinlted States Senate in one of the Western.State recently. A member of the Assembly

A from one of the back counties came to the-- political leader rpf Us'partypand asked: -- -

"Who's "the best man to yote for": "Well,"retdled the leader, 'there's

t 8.igbbd tnah:V "Nope," said the perturbed (legislator,- - "I --won't vote "for him." '"WhyEOtt" "Well, they bay. he makes 330,000 ai

year now, and If ae gives that up for" a33,000 Job r,d always be suspicious about

, iwhere-i- o got the other 315,000 to make "up."'- The moral la this joke, published in-t- he Saturday

iSTenlDB'ost, is not, as may be supposed, that avoter .should boycott ji candidate who makes,, if bddoes, not earn,- - ?50,000 a year.. .That a candidate Torpublic office gets ISOjOOO a' year, or .owns- - propertyworth a million dollars, is a final objection .to hiselection, and is not sufficient nlone to put him undersuspicion. If a candidate had made 50,000 in one

'year, or ?100,000 in two years, there Is ground forbelieving, that he has enough' money to be compara-riUvel- y

Independent and that It. will lie to his interest,as well as to the Interest or his family, to make agood record1 in public office.

Take; on the, other hand, the.candldate who has noproperty,- - r;who Is beset temptations, who .earns aemail, salary, and who. ir successful ' at "the polls,?W0Hld discover that ?5,000 ayear, which'a large salary for a public,. official, would be Insig-nificant the requirements of his new position, itIs reasonable to presume that this man would tic. more

to political blandishment than the: man of in--

. pendent means.f The moral, therefore, Is not that the rich man isunfit to hold, public office nor that' poor, man isunfiMohold ipubllc-offlce- . But the moral "is'that mf n.

character and determination, worthyehbuld be chosen for public service; that, public'corporations, should pay large, enough, salaries to put

' officials beyond temptation and that public officeshould be invested with dignity, equivalent XS honor,.rather.thah be surveyed with suspicion.

THE REtUi3LrC:,TtjiEisrjlY. IJ&UST 18. 1903.Banner,? "My Old Kentucky Home" and "The JewelBong" from Faust.

The fact is that music conductors of varying de-

grees of ' competence nightly Include, all ot those, men-

tioned ,and many more of the same character. Theorchestras .which confine their programme to theclassic are specially maintained for that purpose.Tuey are not .expected or supposed to give balladmusjc And there are only n few of tliiein.

The query, however, has some, point viewed thus:Would It not be advisable, for the Orchestras andmusicians of highest rank regularly to undertake some.

j of the better bits of catchy, popular .music and provemat real music and good music Is In themV Theanswer must be affirmative.- - "Mr. Uooiey," orches-

trated for fifty pieces, Is exhilarating, and not badfrom any standpoint

The popular conviction, and the honest convictionof many specially educated persons, Is that the dis-

tinctly American music even tlie much-abuse- d rng- -

timc-th-as reason and genuineness. It serves certain'moodB. For us it Is less .artificial than n great dealof cia8Slc music, written for Uerninn and Italian ap-

preciation.

But popularity and repetition should not condemnthis music, tho igh that is precisely wlint does bar itfrom good society. Underneath the expressions ofcontempt we hear for the only music' which is Ameri-can lies a substrain of intellectual pride or snobbery.On the other hand, the unreceptlveness evinced bythe public to "clatratc"' music will 'not bo found, on'analysis, to Include all classic music. The Americanpublic may bo,, permitted to have lis favorites.

There" bo those among us who, will maintain to ourdying day that Wagner's forte was to start a k!nd'"otunmusical riotfpon every opportunity. There bethose also who constitutionally think Halt and Uralimsabout as. edifying ns Kant. The class who hold thisview tmay be enthusiastic admirers of Chopin andSchubert. Essentially w'e are not a "musical" peo-

ple. Curiously, no race enjoying free speech andabundant activity was ever a "musical" people. Tileavenues of- expression are foo numerous for superla-tive development of one form. But we like music anilmake some that is mighty real and good..

STUDY THE SIMPLE WORKINGS.It is tn the application, not In the principle itself,

. that the mystery of politics or of government lies.No'longer ngo than two generations political prin-

ciples were shrouded In some, obscurity, elevated "to aforum' of thought and discussion somewhat above the"heads of average men, being Invested with far moiyof the abstrus and metaphysical than now. Greatconstitutional qnestipns remained to-be settled politi-cally, and constitutional orators, and statesmen, suchns Webster, Calhoun, Randolph and Hayne, occupiedthe forum. Though some of the great problems withwhich they wrested have never been solved, and prob- -

nbly never will be, they have been none the less ef-

fectively eliminated. The American nation . has, ac-

cepted oIact, a condition, in lieu of many a theory;,an irrevocable tendency frequently in lieu of a prin-ciple; experience instead "of precept. .Many of theproblems, however, were solved and many principleswere firmly established by these and earlier minds.Even those problems and principles which, still remainunsettled come to us illumined by the same brilliantthought, greatly simplified and shorn of the abstruseand abstract Inevitable "in the nation's early experi-ence.

The. political questions of y require veryllttleacademic treatment., We 'are a' nation educated lnprlnciples. But education In principles Is somethingdifferent from, instruction in practice. It.isin a knowl-edge of the application of the' power to the machinery

that wo as a public ore deficientPublic opinion is the motive energy' which runs the-entir-

system of government It is the force neces-sary to the application of principles; to the buildingand upholding of. the Constitution and the making and!enforcing of law. Odd as it may seem, public opinionIs not conscious' of its power. Its exercise is passive,rather than active and Intelligent It operates throughthe medium of a class of politicians, a necessary me-- ,

dluni, to be sure, but n. representation which oftcricrdirectihthan follows the dominant will. The systemiof representation by "which the public "will" findsexpression is perhaps as simple as could he devisedto meet the purpose, but' it is one which, perhapsowing, to its very simplicity, occupies comparatively,little of the" people's, attention and thought, and thopoliticians have done much to render It mysterious.

It is in keeping more or less hidden the processesby which the people express their collective mind ttiatthe opportunity of the politicians lies. The margin

Is the, politician's leeway.What the public chiefly requires is that Insight

Into the. practical working of the political systemwhich can teach a correct sebse .of. public .opinion'sstrength, which can Jench that the people's volitioncan accomplish' its ends along' the line' of establishedprinciple. Such an Insight can alone awaken public'opinion's confidence in its own power to secure gov-

ernment in accordance with principle and with Ideals.The present stage, of, national development requires

no iladlsons, Monroes, Clays, Websters or Calhouns.The theoretical part of the .American's political educa-tion has-be-

en sufficiently complete." Great practicalleaders are required who will obey, who will, lead for.the, people; openly and Instructively; not great de-

baters, but jreat practical .educators. American Idealsare fixed, nnd principles of free governmental firmlyestablished..'

Public opinion never errs in motive,- - and usuallymaybe.&epended upon to think aright. In a word, it Iseducated In, ideal and trafned. in theory or In' prin-ciple. This generaIons greatest opportunity for de-

velopment of strength lies along the line of knowledgeof the practical workings of the political or gbvern-ment- al

system,-"'whic- can render the people fullycompetent to secure to" themselves good governmentby means of that system, which can secure to publicOpinion a full expression within I'tkejimitations of that

.system, .which can enable a perfect application of theAmerican principle of government,

"--- '- WEAKNESS OF THE LAW., Any endeavor to explain lynching outbreaks, exceptohttie theory ot crude and, brutal lawlessness Is liable,to be misconstrued into an apology for this samebrutal lawlessness. But there is something to' be saidIn explanation of certain manifestations.

"Agreeing. that summary punishment of crime with-bu- t'

formal and legal trial" would be anarchy .If carriedto ItsloglcaV.extreme, it is. still true that tiie reasonbehind'iicases of 'lynching, is not disorder, huttho determination to enforce'order. k -

the law- - is to prevent the infliction of Its own" penal:ties. .

By permission of the law: the witness in a criminal trial Is he most unfortunatevJind abused personin tho proceedings. He or slio Is hauled backward and..rorward with every delay; is paid next to nothing; Isbulldozed, insulted and denounccd.by. lawyers.

The question of Mr. Bates answers' itself. We havenot suuk low,-bu- t we cannot ''depend on courts andjuries to punish crime. The law will not permit courtsand Juries 4oj)iinish crime with any certainty. InAmerica the delays and appeals and obstacles are

.worse than In England. Mr. Bates can now see InSt. Louis a score of boodlers, every man of whom thepublic knows to be guilty, going about the streets atliberty, while the Supreme Court searches, under In-

struction of the law, for technicalities' upon which theymay escape punishment, altogether.

Not one'timc In ten thousand criminal trials is tinInnocent person punished. To secure that result forthe liberty of the individual the law permits the mostdepraved criminal to have every advantage over theprosecution. And at. least 50 per cent escape.

In California, when" the gold discoveries had at-

tracted a horde of thieves and murderers, the law wastheoretically forbidding crime. In practice its proc-esses were worthless. Vigilance committees andlynching were the resort of the If thatalso seems paradoxical it is none the less tho truth.The same condition lias arisen temporarily in otherplaces. The orderly institutions of society were notdisturbed: They were vindicated, upheld and main-tained by technical lawlessness. The purposes of so-

ciety did not change. The nominal methods of en-forcing its rules were changed. Turpose and resultwere In essence what they are In tho most highly, developed communities of the country- -

Without goingk into the conditions of particulareases or of particular communities, It is to be said thatlynching may he the cool, reasoning, ethical processof a and law-abidi- people, though Itmay ue muruer committed by a brutal, unreflecting,frenzied jnob.

Since the law. cannot be depended upon to punishcriminals; since the law with. Its Indulgence of theaccused- Often, permits itself to outrage society, therewill, wiicrcver the criminal class Is overnumerousand overactive, come times when society will elect toteach its lessons In. another wny-a- s a final resort.

The administration's attitude "toward Beavers isdifficult of explanation. Mr. Payne. declares that theman will bo prosecuted to tho full extent of law, butno effort Is made to' apprehend Beavers or even tonotify him that he is wanted on a charge of crime.Instead of. running away, Beavers taunts the ad-ministration through his attorneys, is it possible thathe possesses such dangerous knowledge that It wouldbe impolitic to prosecute him?

COMMEHT.,v Why Vest IVerer Knew Conkllnc

Senator Vest in Saturday Evening Post".As I was returnins to my seat from tho clerk's desk,

where I had taken the oath, my colleague. General Cock-rcl- l,

introduced me to Senator Conkllng.'but we neverspoke to each other afterwards. Although ho was madechairman ot the Committee on Commerce' in 1881, whentho Republicans obtained control of the Senate, and 'I wasa member of that committee, our Intercourse at tho onlymeeting of the committee over which he presided waslimited to my addressing him; as Mr. Chairman and hisrecognition of me as tho Senator from Missouri. Therewas never any antagonism between us except general dis-agreements oh ,polltlcal questions, but an Incident occurredon the day after I entored the Senate which nxed my re-lations with Senator Conkllng.

On tho morning of the' second day's session of theSenate Senator Jonas of Uoulslana and myself wero sit-ting In tho Democratic "cloakroom listening to SenatorJohn S. Williams of Kentucky, known In that State as"Cerro Gordo" Williams, who was rc'atlne. to us nmof his 'war experiences, when .Senator Conklln entered the;room on his way to tho Senate Chamber. On seclne him.'Senator Williams, .who was a typical Kentucky gentleman,oi ine oia scnooi, ana, wno naa been introduced to Conk-llng tlie day1 before, said, "Good mofnlng. Senator Conk-llng," at the same time extending his hand. Instead ofaccepting the hand.or making anyreply, Conkllng slightlyinclined his' head waving aide the hand of WiUllams, strode Into the Senate, leaving Jill of us In a stateof, profound astonishment. Williams gazed after him "witha- look of .puzzled amazement, and said to me, "What Isthe meaning' of that? Do you suppose that man Intendedto Insult mot" I replied that It 'waspossibIy tho ordinarysenatorial custom" to treat new Senators. ,In that fashion,but furnish him no other information. Having'known General Williams froim ray boyhood as one of thekindest .and most courteous gentlemen In all my ac-quaintance, X felt Indignant at tho treatmentrecelved" byhim from Conkllng and determined that I would not sub-ject myself to any 'similar indignity by making any ad-vances toward .the New .York" Senator,
