There are entirely too many cheap

The Waco Times-Herald desires

At Comanche on July 2'2d E. C.
Gaines shot J W. Reese, the ball

They were rival candidates, and in-

The Republicans are also commit-
ted to tariff revision, but their pur-
pose is to "protect" and it is protec-
tion that has brought us the truest.
Mr. Aldrich has declared that it
would be found necessary to revise
the tariff upwards in many instan-
ces, thus fortifying tbe evil about
which the country complains and
the existenc of which is acknowl-
edged by the Republicans.

Tom delighted to prod the smith with

A Good Newspaper.
Tbe Scranton Tribune given ut-
terance to its ideas upon what it
considers constitutes^ good news
paper as follows:
"A good newspaper tells tbe news
a8 faithfully and truthfully as it csn,
without fear and without favor, and
comments on it with the best intel-
ligence it cau command.
A good newspaper is in league
with all men and women who think
and with all the agencies that strive
for the happiness of the people.
A good newspaper shields no
wrong that ought to de exposed and
stops at no truth that ought to be
uttered.
A good newspaper does not lend
itself to the making of strife be-
tween citizens, neither rages like a
demagogue nor weeps like a char-
latan.
A good newspaper has ideals, be-
lieves in progress, and wins its way
by courage, plain speaking and fair
dealing.
A good newspaper assembles each
lay as much of the good things
that are done in the world as it can
find and no more of the foul than it
must of news necessity publish.
A good newspaper has political
opinions and may belong to a party,
but it cannot be an organ and keep
the high faith of the best journ-
alism.
A good newspaper knows no boss
bows to no petty satrap of office and
owes no allegiance but to that which
it believes to be true.
A good newspaper is run on busi-
ness principles and should make
money and prosper like any other
business, but probably won't if that
is its sole aim.
A good newspaper takes a cheer-
ful view of the world, is kind tej
human failings and helps men more
by entertaining them than by rant-
ing and scolding at them."

In the Year 1600.
The way Streatfeild, author of "The
Opera," traces the development of op-
era through the centuries is most clear
anel concise and leaves you with the
impression that upon the matter of
history, at any rate, he is master of
bis subject. Opera, it is shown, was
the result of an attempt made by
some Florentine amateurs to revive
the lost glories of Greek tragedy. They
failed to get back to the conditions of
Athenian drama, but in failing they
unconsciously laid, the foundations of
a new art form which soon worked
Itself into the affections of the peo-
ple. The beginnings of opera might
be said to elate from the year 1000,
when a public performance was given
in Florence of Peri's "Eurldice" In
honor of the marriage of Maria de'
Medici and Henry IV. of France. This
work consists almost entirely of ac-
companied recitative, which was the
invention of these Florentine reform-
ers, and the voices were accompanied
by a "violin, chitarone (a large guitar),
lira grande, Unto grosso and gravicem-
balo or harpsichord, which filled in
the harmonies indicated by the figured
bass." It is Interesting to know that
in this very primitive work the com.
poser tried to follow as closely as pos-
sible in his music the ordinary inflec-
tions of the speaking voice. Montej- i
verde, who was a contemporary of
Perl, but whose first opera was pro- |
duced sotoe seven years after "Eurid- 1
ice," made a similar effort to recoil- i
clle music with speech, and many j
years after Gluck and still later Wag- ;
ner tried to do so, and it Is amusing
when one knows how far in other di- !
rections music as an art and opera as 1
a convention have progressed since ,

ably closer to the Debussys and Bey- ]
