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

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"

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

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.
