HOPE. REPUBLICAN. A PLEASANT EVENT. The musicale given by the pupils of Miss Rickseker’s class in music last Thursday evening was pronounced the best one of the kind ever given here. It was good from first to last. The audience, though small, was attentive, appreciative and enthusiastic. It was a pleasing and kind consideration on their part to give the same immense applause for the strenuous efforts of the beginner as they did for the advanced student. Miss Nellie Rominger opened the recital by playing a march on the organ, and did well for a student of the first grade. Miss May Treadway also performed an organ solo in andante time with much expression. The instrumental duets performed by Mrs. Hacker and Miss Alma Schaefer, Miss Lena Schaefer and Mr. Hatton, Miss Stella Burney and Miss Ardie Vogler were all, one might say, faultlessly rendered, especially as most of these persons are mere beginners in music. They received loud applause. Miss Monta Brown played a valse caprice in a graceful and brilliant style. Miss Bertha May performed “The.Storm.” The meaning intended to be conveyed in the rendering of the piece was well brought out, for one could readily hear the sweet strains of the shepherd boy’s flute, even in the loudest roar of the storm. Ollie Rominger played one of Schumann’s most difficult novelettes, and his interpretation of this piece was excellent, clear and intelligent. “The Magic Fire,” also an exceedingly difficult selection, was artistically performed by Miss Alma Schaefer, it being clearly interpreted, and showing what years of study and the infatigable labor of an attentive regular student can accomplish. Chas. Porter rendered a fine mazurka in his usual brilliant style, bringing out the peculiar rythm and movement characteristic of the fiery and patriotic Real of the Polish nation. Miss Anna Sidener rendered for the first time a vocal selection. Her manner was pleasing and her enunciation clear and distinct. A vocal quartette, in which Miss M. Vogler and Ed. Miller assisted, was sung in a joyous manner. A duet sung by Messrs. Miller and Porter showed a pretty blending of .the voices.

The vocal solo, “Lend Me Your Aid,” was expressively sung by Mr. Porter. There was pinch skill manifested in the rendering of this fine composition, showing the amount of cultivation that has been received to perform so artistically a piece of this character. There were a few other selections by some of these performers. On account of distances and consequent irregularities, or others who have but recently joined the class, about eight of the class could not be prepared to perform. When we consider the amount of extra work teacher and student must have to give these entertainments, that not a cent of the small benefits received at the door falls to cither teacher or student, and that they are given as a stimulus especially for the student and for the improvement and pleasure of music generally, ought not the good that is in these recitals receive the kindness and aid of the musical and Christian people of the community? The bud of the musician and the artist is in our town and community, but it will wither end fall unless the talent is improved. The students must be indefatigable in their work. A lesson and a practice hour sacrificed for every pleasure and party, one or two terms a year, or a taking of lessons six months, and, after a rest of from three to nine months, resuming their lessons, will never make players, much less musicians. It requires teachers of angelic patience and iron nerves to teach such classes as this. Pure devotion to the art, a continuous lesson-taking and practicing will cause the biul to unfold into the full-blown flower of the real musical artist. A matinee is being talked about for the near future, when all friends of the school will be invited to at-

tend, and by their aid contribute towards the charity fund, to which all amounts received are given. AN EMBLEM OF REPUBLICANISM, New York, June 2(i.— An Atlanta special says: “Georgia Society is at odds as to the propriety of hoisting the stars and stripes on July 4. The head of the National Order of Daughters of the Revolution has sent out the suggestion that every member of the order should display the flag upon their homes on the Nation’s birthdays The members of the branch recently organized here, with few exceptions, will heed the suggestion, but it will not be heeded in some other towns. Those opposed to the proposition are profuse in acknowledging their loyalty to the Union emblem, but us one of them said: ‘Some way or other, Republicanism waves with the national flag.’ Journal. Just so, sister; the old flag is a part of the religion of all Republicans. They never tore it from its moorings, or trampled it beneath their feet. Many of them have sacrificed their lives that its glorious folds might kiss the breeze. No ruthless hand of a Republican has ever sought to pluck one star from its bright canopy. Sister, can any other party boast as much? Yes, the old flag means Republicanism. Devotion to it is a Sunday-school lesson they teach to their children.

A. E. Stevenson, the off horse in the Cleveland match team for ’92, instead of being a general or soldier in the late . unpleasantness, was a stay-at-home fault-finder with his country. The old veteran who has, been led to believe that with them he shared fatigue and stood the storm of leaden hail will be pained to learn that the prefix, “general,” as added to his name, was gained by being third assistant postmaster under Cleveland’s administration, and that in 1864, when they were at the front battling manfully for their country, Stevenson was a delegate from Illinois to the national Democratic conconvention held at Chicago, and assisted in passing that resolution declaring the “war a failure” and demanding “that hostilities cease at once.” The old vet. verily believes such acts of sympathy and comfort were construed by the confederacy to mean assistance to their failing cause, thereby prolonging the war at least one and a half years, and, indeed, when these men knew such interpretations were placed on their acts by their country’s foes, they never even frowned upon it. Our Uncle Isaac has again been left out. The Cleveland gang swindled, mislead and deceived the Indiana delegation. They made them believe they loved Uncle Ike, and if they would give them a little help in return they would see that Gray’s name embellished the tail end of the ticket. Of course this was rather humiliating, as they had expected the eX-Governor to front the ticket, but after consultation with Senator Voorhees, who was Gray’s trainer, they concluded it was the best thing they could do. They in confidence accepted the offer and delivered the goods to Cleveland, but when it come to completing the ticket they had no use for Uncle Ike, and gave Indianaians to understand that their State had none other than third-class men, and that, necessary as it was to carry Indiana for the Democratic ticket, they could get more votes with a stranger than any man Indiana could trot out. These disappointed and deceived Democrats ought, and doubtless will teach them a lesson at the polls. NOTICE TO BREEDERS.
