Among the beet known and best loved
of American songs are. unquestionably,
"Way I>own Upon the B'wnnnee River,"
"My Old Kentucky Home," and "The Old
Folks nt Home." To this list may lie add
ed probably, without apology. "Old Itl.vk ,
Joe." "Old Uncle Ned." "Nelly Waa a
Istdy," and “Old Dog Tray." Nearly
every American has heard one or more
of them Certainly every native South
ern—r who ha* reached the age of matur
ity Is familiar with most If not all of
them In both melody and sentiment they
breaths the spirit of th- old South. They
tell of the confidence and esteem with
whteh the master regarded hla slave, and
of the affection with which tha slave
looked up to the master, under the old ,
regime The tender pathos of "Old Rlatk !
Joe" ha# never bon surpassed, while the
haunting charm of "S'wannee River" and
"Old Kentucky Home" has never been
equalled.
Who wrote those simple, powerful songs
of the Beulh? It Is doubtful If many of
thorn* who love them best could tell the
name ol the author. They probably have
a vague Idea that he was n son ol the
South, whose love for hts native soli had
found expression In the tender melodies
But that Is not correct. The author was
a Pennsylvanian. Btephtn C. Foster. He
was born In what has since become n port
of the city of Pittsburg, and In I#A, at
the age of thirty-eight years, he died In
New York. It dor# not appear that he
ever resided for any length of lime In the
Bouth, but with rare poetical Instinct he
caught the Inspiration of the gentler side
of life under slavery, and with rarer
genius gave expression to the sentiment*
In songs which will always remain favor
ites and never lose ihetr power.
While the songs that have tie on named
would have *ufficd lo make the iwnpowr
famous, they were not by far all of Mr,
Foster's composition*. He wrote also
"Come Where My Dove Lies Dreaming."
"Gentle Annie," "Willie, We Hava Miss
ed You." ami a number of other*. Includ
ing "Ellen Bayne." the music >f which
I* now used for "John Brown's Body."
During the twenty years of hi# music
writing he was busy; but. like many an
other genius, he failed to turn hts talents
to hts own pecuniary benefit.
laist week In the city of Pittsburg, the
place of hla birth, a monument to the
memory of Foster was dedicated, with
striking ceremonies. The chief feature
of the function was the singing of hla
most famous songs by a chorus of 3.0*0
children.

t’nttl last night Mr. Tlryan had said
very little about trusts In his campaign
speeches. Imperialism being the para
mount Issue, he had given most of his
attention to It. At St. Douls. however,
os appears from portions of his speech
which we publish this morning, he dis
cussed the trust question very thorough
ly. What he said was strongly put, and
cannot fall to ntnke voles for him.
There was, of course, very little that
was new In what he eald. because In the
lost year the trust question has been
presented |n all of Its various phases,
not only by him. hut also by other emi
nent men. Mr. Rryan's way of handling
It, however, wns very attractive, and his
speech will he generally read.
There is deep Interest In the trust ques
tion In all ports of the country. A num
ber of the states have undertaken to
crush trusts by means of anil-trust legis
lation. and to aome extent they have sue
reeded. It Is not Improbable that the
people are thinking as much of the trust
evil ns they are of the apprehended evils
of Imperialism.
They are thoroughly convinced that they
hove nothlrg to hope for In the way of
anti-trust legislation from the Republican
party. If the Democrats can convince
them that they can legislate trusts out
of existence they can count upon being
given the power to do so. There is bo

Fdoubt in the public mind of Mr. Hr van's
‘ Blnrerily. The only tloubi by which the
propit are disturbed le whether the trusts
ran be reached by the legislative methods
proposed.
In his speech Mr. Hryan not only points
out the evils *f trusts, but he mentions
•he remedies proposed for getting rkl of
them. One of the remedies to which he
llrects particular attention, is a change
tii the t-triff lows. At present the trust*
ire strengthen**l by the tariff. It pro
:e*ts them and enables them to sell their
products In dormstlc markets at price#
that are mu h higher man those demand
ed in foreign markets.
Il Is probable Chat from this time until
1 the end of the campaign. Mr. Hryan will
give more attention to the trust question
than he ha*# hitherto.

Recently there has hern much die usston

may be, and probably Is. true that there

to say that the great majority of church
goers are as sincere in their efforts to
followr the straight and narrow path, and
lo dbu harge their duty to God and feiiow

I HI 111. AHK OTHKR TOWN*.
The fart 10ms to be overlooked that
other town* than Galveston were
ruined by the great norm. Not only were
thorn other town*, but the storm deseroy
ed crop* and farm houses over a wide
section of the state of Texas. A dispatch
from Henbrooke to Houston, which we
published yesterday, contained this state
ment: "It is no use to send newspapers
her* to sell as there are but few people
left, and they are starving for food ant)
need clothes to put on. Thirty-three out
of tho thirty-four houses are now flat on
the ground, and twenty-on* peoplo out of
our small population were drowned."
It is probable that there are many other
small towns thnt suffered almost ns much
ns Beabrooke, and it will no doubt appear
that the loses* sustained by farmers are
such that they will find It difficult to live
unlil they can raise new crops.
The welfare of this class of sufferer*
will no doubt be looked after by the Gov
ernor. Avery great deni of the money
that ho* been contributed Is In his hands
While be will see lo It that Galveston's
wants are provided for he will not over
look towns lesa likely lo attract atten
tion.
The first reports of the damage by the
storm to the Texas cotton crop were lo
the effect that the loss would approxi
mate 25 per cent, of It. Later report* mod
ify to a very consldernbl* extent the flrst
Impression*. It I* now said that the loss
will not go above sno.Ohl bales, and th
chances are that It will not be as great as
that. Htlll. the loss to the cotton farmers
will be great.
Th fact that the ruin wrought by the
storm cover* a large territory was one of
the reasons for the suggestion that much
of the atorm fund should be sent to the
Governor. He is in a better position lo
see that It Is properly distributed than
nny one else.

Is being discussed in both Manila and
Washington. Owing to tribal Jealousies
and hatreds In the Islands It Is believed
that a number of natives could he en

Meanwhile, It I* probably not In accord
with American Ideas to put the American
flag over mercenary native* fighting
against other natives who are defending
their country. Again, our experience wllh
the Filipino "amigos" has not been such
as to create the conviction that a native
soldiery could Ire depended upon to re
main true to our flag.
Portugal continues to act the part of
Kngland's friend. Oom Paul Is virtually
a prisoner at I.orenxo Marques, and the
probabilities are that the Portuguese
would not put anything in the way of a
Hrltish scheme to effect the old gentle
man's capture as he sailed away, If It
should be deemed desirable..

Max O M.II'. Own Itory
My husband's favorite anecdote, says
Mrs. Kiiouet In Ixmdon Answers, Is one
that turns upon hla favorite subject—the
amaxtng Ignorance of one nation concern
ing another. He tells the story In this
way:
"Being Invited to take part In a meet
ing convened In a church In an Important
American town for the purpose of dis
cussing how Hunday should he |*etit I
consented to go—not to tell the meeting
how the day ought to he passed, but to
say a few words about how it Is spent
In Paris.
"The proceedings opened with prayer,
after which followed an anthem. When It
was over an Influential Inhabitant of the
town rose and ascended the pulpit stairs.
"From that commanding eminence he
proceeded to attack all non-Sabbatarian*.
sj**< ially singling out my compatriots: *1
spent one Sunday in Paris, and was shock
ed at the sights of low Immorality svery
w here.'
"I had never heard my poor, dear coun
try pitched Into so The speaker glare i
at m<- as I sat quite harmless In my pew
“When he had said his say I was asked
to speak, and n* ver did I feel more eag#*r
to he heard.
“Having reached he exalted rostrum. I
told the congregation how sorry I was
that their townsman ahould have had
uch a bad t me in Paris, hut I thought
that had he spent Sunday in mim- respec
table place he would have been spared al!
these shocks. Pulling a very long face
and picking out Mr. Johnson (for auen
was his name) with my eye: 'Where did
my friend pnd that Runlay In Paris?*
I asked. 'ln the Louvre, that Is crowded
elth Parisians of a!! grade#* every Sun
day—honest folk who feast their eyes on
glorious creations nf the great masters'*
He would have no Immorality there
There are concerts every Bund%y after
noon. where music by the beet muslclanH
la listened to with rapt attention b>
mnes of quiet, respectable Parisians
" ‘Did our friend patronise one of these
concerts he would have seen no Immoral
ity there. Where di ) he go? We all know
that great white* have the;r black spots
ami If you make careful Inquiries you
can find them out. no doubt. It Is evi
dent to me that our friend did not spend
that Hunday In church, though we have
churches in Paris. Where did he go?*
"I came down from the pulpit, while
About yt men. forgetting I am afraid
that they were in church, rose in the
seats, and asked: Mr. Johnson, where did
you go?*
"Time years laler I again visited that
American dty, and I was told that Mr
Johnson decided to try for election to the
Henato, and one day after he had hern
addre-slng a meeting of the electors, these
latter were asked If there wore any Ques
tions they would like to put to tre can
didate From a humired pairs of lips at
ouce came the question: 'Where did you
spend that Sunday In Paris?'"
The Cyclone.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
With my heart on fire
With the sun's desire.
I rise from my tropic homo.
And curl and swirl
Wllh a passionate whirl
To the breast of the temperate gone:
Then my erms I fling
Round Ihe winds and sing.
As 1 fast and faster turn
In my sullen shroud
Gf darkening rloud.
Through which the lightning* burn.
Around end around.
With terrible sound,
A living wheel of air,
1 circling gllda
O'er Ihe ocean's tide
And scatter the ship* that are these;
Then close lo the shore
I press on end roar.
While towns and cities fall;
As my garments swing
In the fatal ring
I destroy them, one and aIL
And women and men.
Froud as gods till then.
By the fringe on my skirt are crushed;
With my eye* cm high
I can see them die
Dike am* by * besom brushed.
What are men to me?
Mere apccks on the lea
To n great Elemental Power;
Thrlr prayer* are In vain.
For naught can restrain
My Impulse tn that mad hour.
I laugh a* I rest
On the waves' white crest.
Dashed to foam by the touch of my feet;
As I strew the shore
With their wreck* ever more
While the land and tho water meet.
1 laugh as 1 crush
Through cities and ruah
Over field* of ripening grain.
And I rut my way
Through Ihe forest* gray
With a howl of wild disdain.
I no pity know.
Nor can mercy show.
My course Is relentlessly pressed.
Though the wind* may howl
Ami the black waves acowl
And the seagull dash at my breast.
My path can be traced
By the life effaced
Wherever I chance to roam;
Destruction and death
Must follow my breath.
From the Gulf to the Icebergs' home.
I am bom of heat * -
Where earth'* passions meet
In Ihe languorous earth Bea,
And my fate must go
To the.land of snow.
Where Ihe lake* am! mountains be.
On the North's cold breast
1 am lulled to rest
By the pine tree*' solemn moan;
Theie. my passion dead
And my spirit fled.
