Omaha and Nebraska have reason t 'et-1 ' proud of the May day editions c I'he IJee , which were the product c he pens nnd brains of the women c his city nnd state.

OA'B ADVANT.ldK OF LKnAIj TKNDK. An incidental ruling of one of tl Pennsylvania courts has Just brougl out a curious result of our peculiar cu rency legislation. It seems that a pa senger upon a street railway offen the conductor a five-dollar note for h fare. The conductor refused to gh change or to accept the note and c the persistence of the passongi ejected him from the car. A suit fi damages ensued , but the plaintiff bell unable to swear that the proffered no was one with the legal tender qualli attached , was summarily thrown out i court by the Judge. The lesson of the decision , which pointed out by way of commentary the Philadelphia Press , Is that while v have maintained every dollar Issued 1 the federal government at a parity wl every other dollar with reference purchasing power , there Is one Impo taut feature In which the different d ( lars are not equal. To compel tl service of a public servant It Is nc essary to have currency with the leg tender quality attached. There are great many Institutions and business' ' which from the le al standpoint occuj toward their patrons the position of pu He servants. Street railways and coi mon carriers arc perhaps the large and most Important class under this ( vision , but almost all the franchlst municipal corporations , gas , water ai electric lighting works arc under ob gallon to serve all applicants alike wl comply with the reasonable regulatloi which they may have established. ] most states public warehouses and el vators must accept goods from all wl offer. In some , theaters musfaccoi admission to all orderly persons wl present the usual fee. Hotels can n discriminate against particular patrol without substantial cause. Uut in t these Instances the prerequisite of tl right to demand service Is the proffer tlie compensation which the law allow Under the ruling to which we have r ferrcd that proffer must be of legal to tier currency nnd the tender of ni other money , no matter whether co vertlble Into the first or not. will n fulfill the requirements of the hi' There have been a great many suits test the liability of the proprietors public places for refusing to servo o Jectionable patrons , but this is the fit that has come to notice where tl character of the money tendered It proved to be the vital point. TJIK OHIKX'I'AL COJ/PLKMT/CW. If what Is reported regarding t : complications between Hussla anil Japs be correct there Is fair promise of so ous business before a settlement reached. It seems to be certain th Hussla Is determined to Insist npi such a modification of the terms of tl treaty between China and Japan as s has suggested and It appears to equally certain that Japan Is deti mined not to yield anything stlpnlati for by the treaty. She does not , accor lug to the dispatches , recognize ai right on tlie part of llusslti to intcrfe and Is disposed to assume a defiant at tude. It Is easy enough to understand t attlt'.ule of Hussla In the matter. Th country deblred the defeat of Japi and the overwhelming success of t Island empire has caused the gover ment of the czar no little grief , becau It meansan abridgement of Hussli power and Influence In the east and check to the projects of aggrandi ; ment in northern Asia. With Japan control of the territory and the stra' ' glc positions which China Is required surrender by the terms of the trea Hnsslmi plans for the attainment of r dltlonal power In that quarter of t globe would be thwarted. A vlglla and courageous people , who have do onstrated their ability to defend tin rights and Interests , nnd who are t voted to tha purpose of a peaceable ( velopment of civilization In the en would successfully obstruct any deslg which Hussln might have looking her own aggrandizement In uorthc Asia , nud that she has such designs 1 clearly Indicated by her position fownn [ apan. But whllo the reasons for th attitude of Russia are obvious It Is nose so easy to mfdcrstand the support glvci icr by Ocrinany and France. It Is no apparent that the latter powers hav any common Interest with Russia In thi natter and It la hardly conceivable tlin hey have entered Into an alliance wltl Uissla to deprive Japan of the fruit of victory simply from consideration of friendship , or In other words tha lussla has made the continuance o Irlcndly relations with Germany am Franco contingent upon an agrcemcti o back her up in her attitude of oppc Hltlon to Japan's demand * . Of course Japan could not afford t engage single handed In a conflict wit tussla supported by Oernmny ani 'ranee. It Is assumed thai In the even of such a conflict Japan would have th assistance of Orc.it Britain , whlc ! would feel It to be Imperatively neces sary to do this In order to protect he , -ast commercial Interests In the cast It 1ms also been suggested that Japai night get Botnc help from the Unite' ' States , but such a hope , If It be entei allied by Japan , Is Idle. This countr , will take no part In any struggle whlc nay occur In that remote part of th world. We have Important Interest here which are expected to grow 1 value and the American people are 1 icarty sympathy with the Japanese , bu .hero will be no such abandonment o our established policy as would be Ii olved In an alliance with Japan agalns my other power. WKSTKHN PKOQIlllSS. For the past two or three years proj : ress In the development of Uio wes las been comparatively slow. Everj jody who keeps well Informed rcgan' ng economic conditions knows wlij fho business depression that came o u 1893 struck the west with great sc verity. 'For several years before tlui .line this section had been pushing foi ivard vigorously. Favorable crops ha ittracted population and the Investmeii of capital. The year 1802 , one of th most remarkable In the history of Hi material development of the country witnessed a degree of enterprise In th west equal to that ot any other secttoi When this progress was suddenl checked tlie reaction was sharply fc' ' in every department of activity. Cap tal was withdrawn , projected cute : [ irises came to a halt , the flow of popi .ntlon . westward stopped , and even mot quickly than in the cast the dam iglu effects of depression manifested Uien selves. With the reduction In the homo di maud for the staple products of tli west our wheat producers were coi fronted with a greatly Increased con petition In the markets of Europe. Aui mentcd supplies of wheat from llussli Australia and Argentina reduced tli demand upon this country In IS ! ) I by largo amount , naturally lowering price which really fell out of proportion t the decline In the demand. Then cam the disaster to the corn crop , entallln a greater loss , probably , to the farinoi of the corn-producing states of the wes than was sufi'ercd by the wheat grower for while those who had corn to so got a bettor price for It , thousands ha none to dispose of. and many were con polled to buy. Thus the agricultun Interest of the west has had for tw years past a somewhat hard and tryln experience , due to extraordinary fo elgn competition as to one of the stapl products , and to the partial failure ( another natural causes with which c monetary conditions had anything to d and which would have operated In e : actly the same way under any nimucli condition. There Is promise of a very decide change from this state of affairs whlc will allow a resumption of the forwar movement brought almost to a stain still In Uie last two years. At preset the outlook for good crops this year exceedingly favorable , and while It true that this may change before tl time of harvest , there Is at any ral good reason now for looking hopeful ! to the future. No one need be told whs good crops this year would mean f ( the west , particularly In view of tl probability that there will be a bettt demand In Europe for our wheat th year than there was last , while tl home demand Is certain to be vei much creator. With the labor of U country fully employed , the consum ] tlon of Hour will be largely Increased certainly to an extent that will moi than offset any probable decline In tl demand from abroad. When tlie Ame lean people are In n position to coi sumo what they require for a propi subsistence our producers of breadstuf need feel little anxiety concerning tl foreign demand. He makes a grave mistake who lo faith In tlie west There are still gros opportunities in this section for the li dustrlous , the enterprising and tl thrifty. There Is room In the west f ( hundreds of thousands of such peopl Good crops this year will start the tli of population westward again , will r store to capital confidence to again sec western Investments , and will start th section once more upon a period < progress which may equal In resul any It has had In the past The United States supreme court hi advanced Uio case Involving the que tlon of title to the possession of U Wlnnebago reservation lands so that will come up for hearing early In tl October t rm. This Is n couslderab concession to the Importance of the cas yet It does not fully meet Uie presei emergency. If the white settlers who : claims are denied recognition by tl government can only hold their o\\ over planting time and Uiereby seen an opportunity to get all their seed the ground they will have establish * an equitable right to the crop.

Gov't Report - ilin in JS JSs ? s it in jy st DTT. nrvn.tii'H J.IIKHIC.I.V < VI.VT.ITM , A Ycry notable event In tha world of mu l < ' will bo the production on May 4 nt Madison Square Concert hall , Now York , by Uio Novr York Musical society , of Dr. Antonln Uvo ; rak'a new American cantata , "The Ameri can nag. " Ills "New World Symphony , " produced In that city last year , reflects this modern master's Idtus and Impressions ol native American follc-tonp , but "Ths Ameri can l > 'lng" differs wldily from Its purely orchestral predecessor tii the fact that II Is the expression In cantata form of Dvorak's sympathies with American liberty and pa triotism ; Inspirations collected nnd crystal- llzed. ns It were , In the chalice of his musical Intellect , from which flows Uio stream ol tonal language , which portrays the pa- trlotlcally emotional Instinct of this nation The poem Is the well known eulogy of the Hag , by Joseph Hodman Drake , written li : 1315 , and brimming with the triumphant en thusiasm of revolutionary victories. In Us wldo scopa of description , sa/s the New Yort Herald , there Is ample and admirable op portunity for the musician , whllo there Is additional advantage In the fact that the whole Held of national patriotic expression In music Is open and the flowers of soup therein arc as yet practically untouched nnd ung.ithcrcd. There Is the opportunity pre sented , nnd the outcome as n composition IE most curiously Interesting , for , while "Tin American Flag" teems with the atmosphere of "Columbia , " and whllo It Is filled with true American buoyancy and sanguine In stinct of patriotism , there are occasionally Viennese and Hungarian forces "at work In his blood" which reflects the patriotism ol Dvorak's natal country , the mighty unrest , almost the lack of hope nnd a naturally sul len resistance to tyranny rather than a con scious superiority over It. As a comming ling of these forces and Instincts , and as the work of a modern master In a new realm of musical composition , "The American Flag" has Indeed truly American significance. Dvorak appropriated the poem previous tc his coming to this country , seized the thought and sketched his Intention of the present composition , but the evolution ol the actual musical themes was the producl of his residence here. The poem admits naturally of four separate subjects , which have been utilized by the composer to give It musical force and variety. When Freedom , from her mountain height , Unfuiled the standard to the nlr , She toro the azure robe of nlRht And set the stats ot Klory there. She mingled with Its Rurneous dyes The milky baldric of the skies. And striped Its pure celestial white. With stroakliiK-s of the morning light. The overture portrays the lofty majesty ol this thought In a succession of full mlnoi chords In F , a lento , obscuring themselves melodiously In a misty , cloudllko chord of L Hat , out of which the flag waves In the simple azure purity ot heaven , with the stars ol glory set thereon. Next the mingling stripe of white blends In the same mode through hlgh-Eoundlng chords of minor A flat ; the same mist of the mountain peak obscure : the picture , resolving Into the pure peace ol a simple phrase In II major. Then red streaklngs of the morning light are woven melodiously Into a composite harmony , whlcti blends Into the faintest breath of the frost morning brcezo floating upward from the subdued depths of horns and soft bosoms ol strings , sustaining the chord until Uio open ing thcmo In alto voice Is sounded , like the motive of the "Eucharist" In "Parsifal. " The resolution of this theme Is distinctly a stray flower from the bouquet ot "Parsifal" melodies , but an Immediate repetition ol the high chords of minor F flashes the pic ture nway quickly and the voice takes up the description again with a curious. Interweav ing of orchestral support. This the chorus repeats In fuller harmonies , descriptive ol blending the flajj colors. Another short wandering with "Parsifal" In the fields produces a graphic thcmo upon the low bass strings , whllo the descriptive voice Is heard summoning the eagle bearer down from his mansion In the sun. From this acorn of a theme the composer has de veloped a majestically full orchestral and choral sweep , which completes the magnifi cent picture wherein freedom "gave Into his mighty hand the symbol of her chosen land. " This overture Is , obviously , a flag over ture. Then follow two apostrophes to the eaglo. three apostrophes to the flag and a finale. The second eagle apostrophe Is thus de scribed : Child of the Sunl To thee Is given To guard the banner oC the free ; To hover In the -sulphur smoke , To ward -away the buttle stroke And bid Its blpndlnjr shine nfar Iilke rnlnhows on the cloud of war , The harbingers of victory ! This apostrophe continues in the same vein as the preceding ; harp arpeggios of the eagle's flight ; choral repetition of the theme announced by the solo voice , with a con scientious double-syllabled notation of the word "given , " which sounds almost Incon gruous to an ear trained in the euphonious rhythm of the English language. Around the "banner of the free" surge and eddy the din and sulphur smoke of war ; the circling sweep of eagle pinions are wheeling , turnIng - Ing and pirouetting above the clash ol weapons and hideous combat of men ; the roar of cannon and flash of death-smiting steel unite In the orchestral war ; the whole plcturo of carnage and desperation of con flict rages In tempestuous gusts from the brass and strings until the voices pierce triumphantly through the dusky din In a bright paean of victory which rings again In C major from chorus and orchestra com bined. bined.A A martial allegro , for orchestra only , pre cedes the next theme a composition which might readily be accredited to the ptn ot Gounod , with Hungarian Idiosyncrasies. Tha third flan apostrophe must be a lovely t'tie painting : nag ; of the sens ! On ocean wave Thy iitnra ohnll glitter o'er the bravej When Dcnth. cnreerlnir on the cnle. Sweeps ilnrkiy round the bellied sail , And frightened waves rush madly bach lieforc the broadsides' reelingrnckj The dylnR wanderer of the spa Hhall look nlone to henven nnd theo And smile to see thy splendors ily In triumpU o'er his closing eye. This number I * * wonderful sea plcturi throughout , from the unrest of Its wave mo- , tlon , which opens In the orchestra , to tin death gloom nt Its close. The flag Is stream ing nt tha topmast , Its stars glittering In tin gold of < ca sunshine. Death sweeps darkly down In orchestral malignancy ; the wnvci rage nnd froth their horrid crests In chro matic thirds ; voices clash and drown each other ; hoarse shoutings come through thi tumult ot naval conflict until the fortissimo height ot fury Is reached upon n mixed stac cato chord In both chorus nnd orchestra. Then voices whisper In unison , "ll fore th ( broadsides' reeling rack" and n horn , with the exquisite pathos , of n dying prayer , sounds like a faraway voice from heaven telling of pnradlso to the "dying wandcrct of the sea. " ( The Prophecy. ) Flajr of the free hcnn'a hope nnd homo , Ity nngel hands to valor given , Thy stars have lit the \\clkliig dome. Ami all thy hues were born In heaven I And fixed ns yonder orb divine , That caw thy bannered blnza unfurled , Shall thy proud stars irsplendent shine , The guard nnd glory of the world ! A symphonic prelude to this prophecy In troduces again the motive ot freedom used at the beginning ot the work. More rcmlnls * canccs of "Parsifal" appear In th suc ceeding choral , but the climax nnd ending reveal the true orchestral elaboration , em bellishment and masterful fertility of Dvorak himself. As nn "opus" "The American Flag" Is th second production of any magnitude nnd Im portance which Dvorak's genius since Its transphntlng to these shores has given to the world. As such It demands the recog nition and study of every progressive musi cian. If for no other reason than that ot tha historical significance embodied In the com ing public exposition of the work.
