Criticism with a Vengeance.
It is not often that musical critics
p'0"sess the power to' enforce their
opinions which was enjoyed at Wash
ington on Memorial day by Lieutenant
Prapor. of the marine corps. The lead
er of the Marine band, Professor Fan
clulll, s-elected for that occasion a clas
sical ptogrnmme and the lieutenant, in
the pride of his brief nuthority, gave
onleis that the band should play only
modern tunes. The band leader, being
in n military sense a private In the
ranks, objected to tho lieutenant's in
terfetence, but his objection was over
tuled and he was publicly humiliated
by bclnrr oic'eied to the guard house.
The effect upon the propiletles of the
occasion of the critical lieutenant's tn
lerfeioncfimnybg understood In this ex
tract from the Washington Star: "The
Marine band went swinging out to Ar
lington on n, solemn mission; they went
at the head of men filled with earnest
thoughts r,f the dead; they went to aid
In the decoration of the graves of he
ices and they played music of the llgli't
ost Quickstep variety. They stood at
Arlington close by tho dust of the de
parted and tho strain of their music
as it rolled throuch the leafy arches
was 'On i.fl the Dance; thoy re
turned dour the avenue and their se
lections told tho city in musical num
bers that 'The Picnic Was Over.' "
It Is difficult from a civilian stand
point to work up any great amount of
indignation ovor tho Italian bandmas
ter's Insubordination. To tho average
citizen It would appear as If a verdict
of acquittal would have been Justified

(Jive the Cubans a Chance.
Writes William V. Curtis to tho Chi
cago Ilecord: "In any settlement of
the Cuban trouble which this govern
ment may promote, the sanitary ques
tion will play an Important part. Wbcr.
the present administration moves In
the Cuban matter this grlevar.ee which
the United States has against the '.aland
will be kept prominently in view. At
some point in the negotiations It will
be Insisted that whatever government
is established, upon the retur i of peace,
a guaranty shall be required to main
tain better sanitary conditions. The
state department and the marine hos
pital service will shortly consider the
sanitary proviso upon which this coun
try will Insist. The surgeon -genera I
has estimated, as the lesult of an In
vestigation extending over a long sp
rles of years, that over 95 per cent of
the danger of contagion to this country
from yellow fever and other contagious
diseases originates in Cuba. The rem
edy Is only a question of the expendi
ture of money, and that In Havana,
principally. It Is tho conclusion of ex
perts, including several Spantsh com
missions appointed to examine into the
conditions, that the same regaid for
eanitary laws observed in the cities of
the United States and Europe will
stamp out yellow fever In Cuba, where
the ravages are continuous every month
in the year. The last invasion of this
disease from Cuba Into the Mississippi
valley caused 15,000 deaths and entailed
a commercial loss of $100,000,000.
"The stringency of the present quar
antine regulations which this govern
ment is forced to maintain against
Cuba Is well Illustrated In the fact
that the special commissioner sent to
investigate tho Ruiz case, cannot get
back Into this country by the route
he went out. Mr. Calhoun and his
secretary, Mr. Flshback, are obliged
to come home by way of New York,
where. If the usual tegulatlons are ob
served, they will be quarantined until
the health officers are sure there Is no
danger of Infection. The commissioner
could not land at any southern port if
he wanted to, or if there was great
urgency for haste. This is because
Havana Is the chief breeding spot of
the world for yellow fever. At this
season of the year there ought to be
no danger. Yet the latest weekly re
turns to Surgeon-General Wyman from
the Island show yellow fever prevalent
In the four ports of Havana, Matanzas,
Cardenas and Sagua La Grande, on the
north const of the Island, and with ev
eiy one of them tho United States has
cloee commercial relations. At the
same time Santiago and Manzanlllo,
on the south side, report deaths from
this disease during the current month.
The weather is exceptionally cool and
dry In Cuba, but the disease Is spread
ing." it Is a peculiar fact that the writer
of the above 1b a zealous apologist for
Spain1 yet ho can hardly escape from
the conclusion that It Is to Spanish Ig
norance and sloth that we are Indebted
for the fact that Cuba at times Is a
veritable pest-hole, Under tho venality
of Spanish administration tho people
of Havana, though they were to pay
double their presont extortionate taxes,
could not hopo for a modern system of
sanitation, The only dralnnge that
they could feel sure of would extend
from the tax-gatherer's hands Into the
pockets of tho Spanish oillclals. On
this point tho testimony Is convincing.
To say that the native Cubans would
bu Just as tapnclous If elected to office
Is by no means, to offer a valid excuse
for Spain. Spain ought to bo a bettor
foster-mother than she has boen. There
Is no extenuating circumstance In her
black chain of Infamies, The Cubans,
on tho other hand, should bo given a
fair chance. To condemn them ns unfit
for self-government before they have
had an opportunity to test their ca
pacity for self-Bovernment is most un?
fair.

PAItAI,M:LS.
From tho Washington Star.
This Is the day for tracing parallels and
Bomo of them aro Instructive, The Dem
ocratic party, after Its phenomenal suc
cess in 1S02 upon a speclltc platform as to
tho tariff, "fell down" lamentably with
Its legislation on the subject, and not
only brought about its own disruption and
defeat, but bequeathed to the country tr.o
present heritage of woe. The Republi
can party has been returned to power
upon quite as specific purposes as to thn
tariff, nnd now confronts the choice of
carrying out its promises and Instruc
tions, or violating them and plunging with
a good 'deal of certainty to the deucn.
Which courso will It take?
Tho tariff plank of tho Democratic
platform adopted In 1892 called for an antl
proectlon levlslon of the McKlnley tariff
law. Protection -was denounce-i as the
sum of all economlo evils. The Democra
cy, If restored to power, would root It
out, and glvo the country a low tariff law
Instead. Tho Democracy won. Uut with
what result? The platform was violated
In the moat open manner. A new tariff
bill, stuffed with protection only the
rates wero wretchedly bungled was
brought In and propped up by a provision
for an incomo tax. Nothing had been
heard of an Incomo tax in the nutlonal
campaign, but here It wan, and those In
chargo of tho bill gave congress the
choice between accepting the bill with
tho Income tax Included or going without.
Congress swallowed the dose, tho Su
preme court knocked out the incomo tax
and the tatlft bill as a revenue producer
collapsed. Having been constructed to
earn' the Income tax, it could not meet
tho ends ejipected without it.
The tariff plank or last year's Republi
can platform called for a revision of the
Oorman-WHson bill which would accord
ample protection to American labor nnd
nil American Industries. That, it was In
sisted, would give the government plenty
of money to live on, and at the same tlma
revlvo busInesB and prosperity. The Re
publicans, upon this proposition, won, and
tho HouHe of Representatives passed a
tariff bill which fully and properly re
deemed the pledge upon which the party
had been returnee to power. That bill
carried revenue enough to support the
government, and adequate protection to
American labor and to American Indus
tries. Uut a subcommittee ot the senate
finance committee has taken this bill, and
by cutting down the protection rates in
many of the schedules made room for an
nddltlonal tax on beer, additional favors
for the Sugar Trust, and a tax on tea.
Without those features It is estimated
that tho bill as amended will not yield
levenue enough by from thirty to fifty
millions. So that this subcommittee of
the senate Is holding the senate up with
tho threat that the cholco is between tlip
amended bill or nothing.
Does any Republican senator believe
that If last year's campaign had been
mado on the basis of the amended Dlngley
bill tho Republican jnrty would have won,
even against free silver? Who heard,
then, anything about nn additional tnx on
beer or additional favors for the Sugar
Trust, or about an invasion of the "free
breakfast table," which, for years, has
been tho boast ot the Republican party?
Tho fight was won on Increased protec
tion, nnd not on increased internal reve
nue, and any hugger-mugger which suc
ceeds now in changing thut will cost tho
Republican party, deservedly, the respect
ot tho country.
THE l'AKIH EXPOSITION.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Tho senate committee on International
Expositions hns decided to report favor
ably a resolution appropriating $350,000
for the propor representation of the gov
ernment of tho "United States at the Pails
e.xpoHltlon of 1900. Trance made tho llrst
appropriation for tho eNposltlon In tho
lludget of 1S?3, so that our own govern
ment Is promptly responding, and by
timely action will be worthily represent
ed at nn International display which
promises to eclipse all former attempts
of the kind, The Frenoh have a genius
for tho organization of great industrial
exhibitions, France wns the pioneer
country in such enterprises and It has set
tho pace for them In all other countries.
It held rotable expositions in 17 nnd
1801 and many more beforo the first Rng
llsh Deposition was held under Royal pat
ronage in 1S28. The llrst industrial exhi
bition of tho century was held In Paris,
and it Is eminently titling that tho last
exposition of tha century should be held
In that city. Fifteen World's fairs have
been held In the French capital during the
past hundred years, Her peoplo have lit
tle to learn In this line, and wo inny
therefore confidently etpect tho great
show of 1900 to overshadow all previous
onrs In utility, splendor, popular Interest
and attendance.
Tho French Exposition of 1900 will be an
epltomo or tno worm s progress inrougn a
century which has been remarkably pro
lific In every form of human energy and
progress. The oxposltlon will Itself form
one of tho notable achievements of our
time. It was a happy Inspiration which
pre-empted tho nnat year of the century
for this purpose, and no moro fitting cele
bration of the lnterstlng and suggestive
period could be planned than the mar
shalling of tho products of the world's In
dustries, of its art. Its science, its inven
tions and lt Intelligence, in the most at
tractive of the world's great capitals.
Congress should adopt without dolay or
parley tho senato resolution ptovldlng for
an adoquato and impressive government
exhibit on tho groat occasion, nnd the
government exhibit should bo supple
mentod by a representative exhibit by
states and by our enterprising manufao.
turers and traders. It Is Impossible to
magnify tho Importance of the event or to
dwell too strongly upon the proprloty of
early action to secure a worthy display
of American skill.
CITY AND COUNTRY.
From thn Globe Democrat.
When It Is noted In the census roturns
of tho last two docades that ubout 0,000,.
000 people In tho United States moved
from the country to tho cities between
tho years 1870 and 1800 somo concern
about tho future Is apt to bo expressed.
In 1870 tho number of) persons engaged
In forming was 40.72 per cent, of those
pursuing gainful occupations, Tho num
ber In )890 had dpollned to 3M4 per cent.
This drift from tb farms to tho cities
Is not rcnfliied to the United States, It
Is going pq In Uurope, and tha growth
of cities in Australia and South Am'erlca
is exceedingly rapid. The causa is usual
ly held to be economic, Labor-saving
.ipachine.ry has reduced the demand for
men to work In the fields, and easy and
fast transportation induces tfeopls to
change thrtr habitation readily. Cities
are attr&etiTO to country hoys and girls,
perhaps not more than rormfcrly. out
cities are far more accessible trmn they
used to be, and their great multiplica
tion of Industries affords new buMnMS
opportunities. To many llfo In the obn.
lty Is humdrum, and they Trtll rtcfcpo
fium It if they can,
Tint if tho cities are growing at the ex
pense of tho country every 'J-oar eecs
them brought comparatively nearer to
gether. This fact must be considered In
connection with movements of popula
tion. Rnilwny transportation Is constant
ly Improving, city Jlnro reach more dls
tvit suburbs.,trolley roads aro extending
ftom town to town, and there Tias even
been an application of electricity to
steam lines for passenger trains fevery
h1t hour for eighteen hours a day, This
places the smaller towns In touch with
cities, nnd provides new facilities for tho
rural population. When a fnrmer can
drive to his nearest town and And a
train leaving for the city every hnlf hour
he Is a shnrer in the advantages of tho
new rapid transit. Every Improvement
In locomotion, nnd tho number In recent
j ears has been remarkably large, brings
tho farmer nearer the city as well as tho
resident of the city nearer rural places.
City people are more Inclined to buy
farms than formerly, and though they
aio toot calculated to shlno ns agricult
urists, they greatly onjoy their glimpses
of country life, and nro benefited by lis
tranquil scenes and pleasures.
o
Fresh elements of Interest nro ndded
to rural llfo from time to time, and it
Is by no means Impossible ns travel be
comesmore cheap and rapid that city
nnd country will become largely inter
changeable terms. The quietest place In
a city nt night is what is called "down
town" In the distinctively business quar
ter. There aro more people thcnx on the
streets of a suburb ten miles away than
on the avenues containing a great throng
during business hours. The drift from
city to rountry Is governed only by ques
tions of rapid nnd comfortable travel,
and In this direction tho development is
wonderfully swift. City nnd country are
moro intimately acquainted than they
ever vero before, and this Is a fact as
well worth study as the fancied danger
of depopulated farms.
PHYSICIANS AND POLITICS.
From the Tlmes-Hernld.
The last number of the Journal ot tho
American Medical association contains
an able article on "Medical Legislation"
by the editor. Dr. John B. Hamilton. Dr.
Hamilton complains cf tho unjust treat
ment of his profession by legislatures that
will gladly "recognize" empiricism In ev
ery form while denying the regular
schools proper laws for the furtherance of
scientific undertakings. He recommends
that physicians take a more active Inter
est In politics. "Put medical men In the
legislature and In the halls of congress,"
says Dr. Hamilton.
On tho whole the suggestion Is agree
able. Any movement to raise the educa
tional standard In our legislative bodies
must recclvo commendation and medical
men aro cry often, If not always, per
sons of great cultivation nnd high civic
Ideals. But, awaiting the time when the
physician can directly apply lis remedies
to the body politic. Is there any reason
why he should not attempt to procure
better results In government from his
present position? Ho Is very fortunately
plnced to mold public opinion, and better
still, to mold the molders of public opin
ion. His thumb Is on the pulse of the po
litical leader. Ho occupies a relation of
fearful monltorshlp to the governor, the
mayor, the congressman. He could be, it
he would be, the guide, os well as the
philosopher nnd friend, of public men, es
pecially In those affairs in which poli
tics and medicine touch.
The hand th"t holds the thermometer Is
the hand that rules the world.
THE COST Or KOALTY.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The royal family of Kngland costs the
British government. In round numbers,
$3,000,000 annually. Of this sum tho queen
receives nearly $2,(HW,00) a year, besides
tho revenues from the duchy of Lancas
ter, which amount to a quarter of a mil
lion. The lord lieutenant of Ireland re
ceives $100,000 a year for his services and
expenses, and tho Prince of Wales J200.0QO
a yeai. The president of France receives
J24O,0O0 a year for salary and expenses, en
enormous salary, when it is remembered
that the republic Is sweating under a stu
pendous national debt of over f3,O90,O),
OOu the largest debt ever Incurred by any
nation in the world. Italy can have ten
thousand men slaughtered In Abyslnnia
nnd still pay her king $2,G0O,O0O a year. Tho
civil list of the German emperor Is about
$4,000,000 a year, besides largo revenues
from vast estates belonging to the royal
family. Tho czar of all tho Russlas owns
In fee simple 1,000,000 square miles of cultl-.
vated land, and enjoys an Incomo of $12,
000,000. The King of Spain, little Alfon
so XIII., If he is of a saving disposition,
will be ono of the ilchest sovereigns In
Burope, when ho comes of age. The
state allows him $1,400,000 a year, with an
additional $000,000 for family expense. We
are said to be tho richest nation on earth,
yet our president's salary Is only $50,000 a
year. It was only $25,000 from 1789 to 1873.
1MIACTICAL JOKEKS.
From the Times-Herald.
The Kngllsh courts have decided that
tho perpetrator of a hoax is liable for all
tho consequences of his Jocosity, no mat-
ttcr what they are. The case was where
a man returning with others irom ino
races stepped nt a public houso and told
a woman there that her husband had had
u "smash-up." Thereupon the woman
promptly fainted and a serious illness re
sulted. As a matter ot fact, her husband
had not had a smash-up, and the story
was told her simply as a practical Joke.
Tho court held that the Joker was llablo
for all damages occasioned by tho wom
an's illness, such as expenses of medical
nttendanco and for loss of time. This Is
only a step. Moro will follow in tho
courso of time and some day a court
will sentence some practical Joker to
death or to a long term In the peniten
tiary. And everybody will say, served
him right.
