wne wfawf WlgtW 2GEC1E2ES THE COURIER. There were, undeniably.many good-men in the party, but they were trampled under ty the Schraders and Edgertons and Elders. , The populist party has had its day. In this county it still holds two offices, and in this campaign is making a dee- perate effort to retain them. Why should this party have control of any office in Lancaster county? Why should a good republican be defeated for a rep resentative of the decayed populist par ty? The populist party has not given anything to the people of this county and a republican community will hardly i :4 i . i. -i:.. n ..,..... ikof la cxcri JIBDIl uiBccjimitca ui; tuat ,.- even now all but dead. There is another iBsue, aud that is good, clean, honest government. This has been treated of at considerable length before. The republican candi dates are unassaiied and unimpeacha ble. In their hands the government of the county will be in honest, competent hands. r .There is another issue. Next year the republican party is going to sweep the country. Nebraska wants to occupy a place in the vanguard. The last ves tiges of populism want to be stamped out, and the delegation from Nebraska to the republican national convention that will nominate McKinley or some other good man, warts to have back of it a solid republican state. A leading issue in this campaign is '96. MUSICAL) THOUGHTb X f& At Holy Trinity the choir, in its white robts gives undeniably an indi vidual charm to the service. There is something soothing in the semi-choral evening worship, in the deep calm ca dence of those Anglican "Amens," in the quiet chords of the old chants "Lord, Now Lettest Thou thy Servant Depart in Peace," and "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord." One feels a touch of disappointment when the choir be gins the familiar "I Need fcThee Every Hour." It does not accord with the calmness, the eternal, placid, confiding repose of those "Amens." They do not "need," they possess. What is the significance of the "Gos pel Hymn?" What does it portend? It has crept into the place of many a grand old psalm, many a southing, strong-hearted choral. What if the old chorals were meagre in their simplicity! They bad the strength that comes from simplicity, the calm dignity of religion. You could not sing them on a hay-rack ride, if you tried it, you were sobered, coftened. They could not mate with triviality. But the modern -Gospel Hymn," you cannot tell it from a col lege song, except by attention to the words, and even then, I have doubted whether a given piece were sincere re ligion or burlesque. Religion! if these are our religion, what is our recreation? A religion of jingle, of "two-step," of hysterics, that is the comfort to which we are to turn, a repose of excitement. It is a question if the "Gospel Hymn" PHONES 3it and 488 . - YARDS 14th and Y frfrfrfrfrsv ---------y------- -.a I FOR good com goxo i i 9 9 9 i 1 8 9 O OFFIGE 1100 0 Street I 8 2, Basement Richards Block S, fi 9 Dnnvro oi- j too 9 & iiiuiiiw . uu aoo a be not as distinctly a form of intemper- &nce as any other means of "drowning grief." Yet it has come everywhere. Where our old English or New England an cestora rolled out confident chorals to Heaven, our modern country young- folks go caroling in rhymes whose in- sipidity is offset only by their vulgarity. And to these they thump on their cab inet organs accompaniments that are innocent of any composition. Is it in this way that religion is to "elevate the people?' Let it give us sweet songs, tender songs, simple songs, songs with ..: uv.i iT..n.i..i" : m,.:.,ii.. uiuoii;. uiu uuuuicu id, uiuoikaiij t ten times the superior of "There is Life for a Look." Let our hymns soothe, quiet, elevate, sanctify, make us rorget the gallop and jostle of the week. We do not care to heai Saturday night's dance echoed in Sunday's singing. Some people, without doubt, cannot be quieted, and do not want to be soothed. There were a few of them in the Universalist church last Sunday, a whole row of giggly, silly girls, appar ently from one of the lower classes of the high school. Mamma was not with them. Evidently they had read, in a fashion paper, that the ladies of the New York "four hunJred" talk at the opera. So they, to be "in it," talked through the service, talked in little hys terical chuckles that interested every one for several rowB around. They "giggled," they "gabbled," Unfortun ately they didn't "git."' If they had no respect for the music, they might have respected the fact that they were in church. But, like the baby who was prattling a few seats off, they had, ap- parently. yet to learn what "church" signifies. Perhaps, next time, mamma will come with them, or, maybe, teacher. Mr. Seamark makes an excellent church singer, For some purposes his voice is too cold. For religious singing it 6uits almost to perfection. His sing ing "It With All Your Hearts" the other night, was dignified, with the chastely emotional tone that such work demands. His voice blends excellently with the voices of the choir. In fact, the whole effect of the choral singing mingles ex cellently, organ, choir and soloist. There seems, too, an appropriate blend ing to the eye of the clustered white robes of the singers gathered at the foot of the altar, to which all the church focuses. There is a pleasure in the per fect onenesB of the worchip, in the whiteness, the peace, the sense of un worldly and absolute repose. THOUGHTS Great thoughts swoep o'er my waiting soul. And in their wake leave not a trace. As shadows that in silence roll Across some sunny open place. To Some unseen mysterious goal And loaTe no sign on plain or knoll: So these great thoughts run their swift race And Tanish into empty space. But as they pass, the cooling shade On my parched soul, most welcome falls. And as each trembling grassy blade O'er which the shadow lingering crawls. Receives refreshing, so each thought Tome with good, comes richly fraught. William Rood Dunroy. ooocooooooo H. W. BROWN Druggist and Bookseller. Whltlns's Fine Stationery and Calling Cards 127 S.
