Wagner was a theorist. Of course I never at-
tempted to belittle his greatness, for I have de-
voted many years of my life, many hours of study
and some of my best efforts to bring the American
people to a realization and an intimate understand-
ing of his genius. But primarily it was Wagner's
purpose to materialize his idea of the union of the
arts and the result of this exemplification is a series
of art works that is put before the world as an ex-
pression of thought in drama, music, sculpture and
painting. The Wagner music dramas are so far
as form is concerned the last word, but after all my
years of labor as a musician I can not deny my whole-
hearted devotion to absolute music. If I were not
so devoted to music as an identical art, and to me
the supreme art, I should not be a musician. I have
sought to give to my public that information, both
musical and literary, which should bring the fullest
enjoyment of their purely musical quality and also
of their significance in the realm of intellect. Each great composer
speaks in his own tongue and his ideas are molded in a different fashion.
The personalities of these men are, of course, tinged with their philosophic
conceptions of life and the art forms in which they speak are largely,
governed by their material circumstances. Many a man, no doubt, that
has wished with all his heart to write a symphony, lias been turned into
the opera house by the force of conditions he could not control. Who
shall say that Wagner might not have been a great symphonist had he
not had a sort of divine rage against the operatic theatricalism of bis time
and been obsessed by his passion to show to the world a composite art
form which he conceived he had invented ?
Wagner has his deep effect upon absolute music as well as upon opera,
but it is in the theater that his largest influence has been felt. All the
opera composers that have come after Wagner have benefited by his ex-
ample, notably the new Italian composers. So much can not be said of the
writers of orchestral music, for they have generally kept aloof. It is upon
the general musical mind that Wagner has cast bis spell. His place is
fixed. He has become a part of history. But history moves.
Music is coming into its own again and we shall some day know
that it is capable of expressing our highest thoughts and aspirations, un-
assisted by any sister art. We could not know this from Beethoven or
from Brahms or from Tschaikowsky, because there was yet an obscurity to
be cleared up. This was Wagners work.

Money
and
Human
Happiness
CAKNEG1E.
Beyond a competence for oíd age. which
need not be great and may be very small,
wealth lessens rather than increases human
happiness. Millionaires who laugh
rare. The deplorable family quarrels which
so often afflict the rich, generally have their
rise in sordid differences about money. The
most miserable of men as old age ap-
proaches are those who have made money-
making their god; like flies on the wheel,
these tpfortunates fondly believed they
-veré really driving it, only to find when
tired and craving rest that it is impossible
for them to get off, and they are lost—
plenty to retire upon- but nothing to retire to, and so they end as they be-
fan, striving to add to their useless hoards, passing into nothingness, leav-
ing their money behind for heir to quarrel over.
Great fortunes are few. The aggregate of wealth embraced in.these
It small compared with the amount in very moderate fortunes.
Gigantic fortunes, in the nature of things, must be fewer and harder
to build up in the future than in the past. Most great enterprises are
now in the corporate fprrn, Thrwriter knows but one mln now 1n active
business who is lively to have an exceptionally large estate, and the foun-
dation of that was laid mjore than half a century ago by the purchase of
timber lands which Have increased enormously in value.
Meanwhile, our immediate duty is to distribute
surplus wealth to the best of our abilities in such forms
as we believe best calculated to improve existing con-
ditions, and to secure its more equitable distribution
heiyafter by heavy progressive death duties and by
assessing the people in ptjbjjortion to their ability to
support the government.
We must all learn the great truth that only com-
petence is desirable, almost necessary, wealth non-es-
sential, and when it does come it is only a sacred trust
to be administered only for the general good.
To Improve Orphans' Home.
Corsicana: The board of trustees
of the I. O. O. F. Widows and Or-
phans' Home have determined upon
improvements on buildings for the
present year which will necessitate
an outlay of $10,000. Of this
amount $9000 or more wlil be spent
on the three-etorv brick building now
used by the boys. The present laun-
will be converted into a hospi-
tal after it story has .been added, and

Goodness
and Sin
Alike
Growing
By PlOr. EDWAID A. I0SS.
There is every indication that men are
growing better. The moral scandals of our
time signify not that men are worse, but
that they have not yet learned to resist.
The older types of sin are invasive wrong,
betrayal of personal confidence, oppression
of the weak individual. In resisting these
there has been great improvement.
The newer types of sin grow out of the
interdependence of our time. Men come
into new relations, and the abuse of a new
relation constitutes a new form of sin.
This explains why the characteristic forms
of wrongdoing of to-day are the abuse of
the commercial relation, the abuse of the professional relation and the
abuse of the fiduciary relation.
But goodness is developing as well as sin. The earlier goodness took
the form of «personal ministration. But the Good Samaritan is no longer
the pattern. As our relations become various and complex the upholder
of laws and moral standards becomes more precious. Again, as the stats
becomes the organ of the general welfare, the civic champion who fights
dishonesty and stupidity in government counts for inore than Father Da-
mien or Sister Dora. The latter-day saint is not the one who feels the

> Merry War Between Rival Towns
in the Beaumont District la Car-
ried on to Washington.
* Washington, Jan. 12.—Mayor C.
P. Pfeiffer of Port Arthur and F.
H. Bobinson, secretary of the Sa-
bine Pass Chamber of Commerce,
will appear before the board of en-
gineers today to protest against the
proposition to make a twenty-five
foot depth at the Sabine Lake Canal
from Port Arthur to the mouth of
the Mechas and Sabine rivers unless
provision is made at the same time
for a thirty-foot depth over the bar
at Sabine Pass.
It is a local quarrel generated by
local jealousies and has been the
subject of political controversy in
the Beaumont district. There is now
a twenty-five foot channel over the
bar at Sabine Pass and up the canal
as far as Port Arthur. Thence as
far as the mouths of the Neches and
Sabine rivers the depth of the canal
is only ten feet. Were this depth
increased to twenty-five feet Beau-
mont and Orange would virtually be
on a parity with Port Arthur.
Supply Ship at Catania.
Catania: The American charter-
ed steamer Bayern with supplies ar-
rived here Monday, the Americans
on board being greeted in the most
cordial manner by the authorities
'and the people, who expressed their
appreciation and graitude for Am-
erican generosity. Lieutenant Com-
mander Belknap, naval attache, who
is in charge of the expedition, is ar-
ranging with the authorities as to
the best wav of helping the suffer-
ers.
Campbell's Message Finished.
Austin: After being closeted in
the executive mansion for days, pre-
paring his message to the legislature,
Governor Cam obeli MOndAy after-
noon called for three stenographers
to transcribe the copy. He announc-
ed to the newspaper men that the
document would be supplied to the
press on Tuesday. It will not go
to the legislture until the houses ore
organized which will be Wednesday.
California Laws Arouse Jape.
Tokio: Following the receipt of
Special dispatches from San Fran-
cisco relating to matters now pend-
ing before the California legislature,
Japanese newspapers elaborate upon
the strained relations that may arise
through the passage of laws forbid-
ding the ownership of land and the
attendance of public schools by the
Japanese.
