ever been on the watch and never
lets opportunity slip when he
can do anything for the benefit of
his State and of the whole country.
Whether he is in favor of the Sub
treasury plan or not he recognizes
that the greatest evils to the poor
are the high tariff and a
tax on State banks. On the form
he is the acknowledged leader
of the tariff reforms, and deals
heavy blows at the idea of taxing
one class of people for the benefit
of others. On the latter he has
more than once introduced for
the repeal of taxes on State banks.
On all question of economy and
for the general welfare of the
country he is a champion.
During his twelve years in the
United States Senate he has work
ed himself from the beginning to
the leadership of his party, and
to-day his defeat would be re-
not only as a party
but a calamity to the nation.
No man stands higher in the
councils than Mr. Vance,
and his political enemies admire
although they dread to meet him
in debate-
No Legislature ever did a wiser
thing than the present one did in
electing him for another term.
And we think we may safely say
he is a Senator for life if he de-
sires it. There is no other man
who can his place, and there
is no other whom Carolina
wants to take his place. North
Carolina appreciates his noble
service, and there is no honor in
the gift of our people which they
would bestow upon
him for only the asking ; and we
will love and cherish his
long after he is gone.

Not so fortunate, most

and the public schools, and the offer

CHOIR SCHOOLS.
If services demanded a daily
choral services choir schools such M ex-
abroad would be necessary, and
those interested that in time such
institutions will be maintained in this
country.
The Jack of material for solo voices
has prompted tho organists of some
prominent churches, such George's,
St. Mary the Virgin's, All Angels, and
St. to employ female voices in
this capacity, and even as auxiliary
chorus singers, and the future will
doubtless see many other churches
to adopt this expedient, which
can certainly be defended on musical if
not on ecclesiastical grounds.
The most successful choirs in New
York number about thirty-five voices,
viz., sixteen trebles, five altos, seven
tenors and eight bassos, and although
authorities differ somewhat the best re-
appear to be obtained when the
parts are divided in about this
Voices vary greatly in quality and
carrying power, which makes it difficult
to a definite law covering every
case, some adult voices are a
The number of rehearsals varies ac-
cording to the style of music rendered
and the ability of the choir to read
music readily. In few churches are the
rehearsals for boys less frequent than
twice weekly, and in many cases
lessons are given in addition.
Many listeners express wonder at the
facility with which the choristers
render florid passages; but except in
rare instances these results ore
by hard and patient labor on the
part of both instructor and pupil.
GERMAN BOYS IN
Boys of German parentage are greatly
in demand, they seeming to possess bet-
voices than American lads, and in ad-
a musical instinct, which is a
great help to proficiency in their art.
Boys are available for choir work be-
tween the ages of and At an
earlier age than they do not possess
sufficient intelligence to be of service,
and except in rare cases their voices do
not last after tho sixteenth year.
For a time before their voices are en-
lost boys are sometimes available
for the alto upper register
being this is a great injustice
to the chorister, as the value of his voice
in after years is by this course seriously
depreciated.
voices have two registers, the
and In the first the
vocal chords vibrate in their whole thick-
and in the latter only the thin edges
of the chords are employed.
The sweet, birdlike quality of the
trained chorister is duo to the use of the
higher register or head tones rather than
to constant practice, as is generally sup-
posed.
An untrained boy will sing naturally
in the thick register, producing a hard,
disagreeable tone, and his voice will
wear out long before the alloted period.
In addition to the flute like timbre
when the thin register is employed, the
compass of the voice is extended up to
G and A above the staff without effort,
notes which would be impossible for the
untrained boy to deliver.
In nearly all the choirs boys
are paid a salary which varies from
to monthly for chorus work, and
from to a month for soloists. Ex-
voices command corresponding

for while tho expenses of government
are largely caused by the protection of
property, it is but just that property
should contribute to their payment. It
will not do to say that each consumes in
proportion to his means, for this is not
true. Every one must see that con-
of the rich does not bear the
same relation to the consumption of the
poor, as the income of the one does to the
wages of the other, and as wealth ac-

That Wall Street Panic.
The panicky condition of Wall street
has not had any decided deleterious effect
upon legitimate business. So say the
dailies It appears to have been, accord-
to current version, a rich man's
affair, resulting from a combination of
causes. But in the end the poor man
will pay the bills. A leading cause was,
no doubt, an overdoing of the bear
movement upon cotton by tho
money combination, the purpose
of which was to scare cotton out of the
hands, with especial reference
to discouragement of negotiations by
the Alliance for cheap interest advances
on cotton held for higher prices. An-
other prime cause, however, was the de-
sire for a change in certain railroad
managements, to accomplish which the
purchase of large blocks of stock was
necessary. A war was organized on
these stocks until they reached a point
at which the manipulators wanted them.
This depression was by
sympathy to almost all other stocks.

The New Political Party.
No other political movement in our
day has had such a sudden and gigantic
impulse that of the Alliance
in the present year. It is fair to predict
that, encouraged by this display of
strength, the farmers of the southern
and western and possibly some of the
eastern states will take a still more prom-
part in political movements, and
nominate a candidate for the presidency
in 1802. At this time the outlook prom-

to Make Aluminum.
There is probably no other metal the
usefulness of which Is so extensive as
aluminum, and yet its practical utility
has been successfully demonstrated
only very recently. As a matter of
fact, the metal was known long ago;
but, although its ad vantages have been
j realized, the great cost of its
has always prevented its coming
into general use. Electricity has. how-
ever, come to the rescue in this, as in
so many other departments of
try, and by its agency aluminum is now
produced at such cost that it bids
fair to supersede iron and steel in many
Instances.
Aluminum exists In nature in the
form of an oxide so refractory in its
character as to make reduction in any
ordinary furnace impossible, and the
only means which have been found
available for its reduction on a com-
scale Is electrolysis. The pas-
sago of the electric current has the
of separating the pure metal from
its surrounding impurities, and the
economy of the process compared with
the methods heretofore employed Is re-

twice as numerous in the minute as
they were in the ordinary levels. A

Choirs Should II. Not Seen.
It has quite customary for
our churches to put a gallery for the
choir either behind the minister or be-
side the minister. The people want to
see the they want to face the
music. I do not Like the custom.
These last out I have been sitting
in pews and have faced the music.
I have thus added evidence, drawn from
observation, to my theories that music
should be heard and not it
should appeal to the ear and not to the
eye.
The of worship in song through
tho agency of the ear Is marred by the
distractions which the eye brings. The
organist jumping about on bis seat
pawing the pedals, palling the stops,
the size of the soprano's mouth,
of dress and deportment all
these the eye brings to the heart and
mind, thus serves to mar the sense
of worship. No, no; let us bide our
musicians in order the better to bear
