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. UK. liltd IN <* Till *TS. 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 THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY; SEPTEMBER 16. 1900. 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. tick Homi: yoN t lit itt i t;oi\*. Recently there has hern much die usston in pulpit and preas of why the ctiurch attendance Is not larger. Now another view of the matter of attendance h* re ceiving ,#om* consideration. Why do po* pie go to church?

Hut conditions have < hnngd There has been an advance In men. c*ustoms and even religion. We are living In a more enlightened period. It may be, and probably Is. true that there are people who attend church from mo tives other than the highest; hut the num ber of auch attendants Is small. It Is safe 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 ntan. as were those who sat under the voice of Cotton Mather. And the sermons of the day. while they may nol be as long and dry a* were those of Mather, are none tha less earnest and honest In the effort to point men and women to the way of right living. 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. For more than a year then* has been In the service of the United State* In the Island of l.uxon a detachment of native Macabrbee scouts The work of these troop* Is sell to have been In the main fairly satisfactory. A* the time ap proaches for the withdrawal of the Amer ican volunteer* in the Island*, th, advis ability of employing other native lighting organization* against the Insurrectionists 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 listed against AgulnaldYs for owing 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..
