The personnel of this syndicate, if given to
Congress, would bring certain death to all

be in the public interest to keep an eye on

GENERAL LOGAN, the great obstructionist
to Democratic legislation, is now out of the
way, having closed his able speech against
FIrz-JoHN PoRrERs little bill. Now we
may look for prompt legislation. Of course,
neither Senator BAYARD nor any other
Democrat can retard legislation by any
speeches they may make. That is all right
it rather helps along.

Bcrnhardt and Victor Hugo,

After the war, when the theatres reopened
Victor Hugo's "Ruy Bias " revived at the
0deon. and the role Of the weary and melancholy
Queen was given to Sarah Bernhardt. After the very
hrst act Victor Hugo proclaimed her TO be the very
Ideal Dona Maria. She had a delicate and sweet
charm that even Rachel lacked In his feuieton on
the event Sarcey says: - Mile. Sarah Bernhardt has
received from nature the gift of depressed plain
tive dignity. All her movements Mt once noble
and harmonious; whether she rises sits down,
whether she walks or makes half turn round, the
long folds of her dress with Its silver threads fail
around her with poetic grace Her voice is anguish
Ing and tender, her dctiOn OF rhythm lust, and
OF clearness perfect that you lose syllable
even when the words are only breatled over her lips
like caress. And how she follows the fluctuations
Of the period that rolls along and breaks,
keeping the flexible lines Of Its harmony! And with
what fine and penetrating intonatlos she marks
tain wordsl' The critic has here given the secret
of Sarah's universal fascinatiOn 1t Is her plastic
grace. In Hernani' her success reached Its apo
gee; and yet the role OF Doha Sol which she played
was, as far as the number of concerned,
almost minor role. She had, indeed, very little to
say, but she had to remain on the stage while the
other actors were speaking. Her role silent one
to great extent: but what charm there In the
way she sat- In the way She let her hand fall! the
of Rachel too the effect that she produced was
due TO purely plastic causes Just much to her
splendid diction. Rachel succeeded almost equally
whether she had fine to say poor ones. The
fact Is that In the OF Rachel, In the ease Of
Sarah Bernlardt the public unconsciousy took
pleasure In seeing the supple and body
tremendously in rbytlms that known to the an
tique sculptors and poets and have been forgotten OF
modern civilization. A secret instinct makes Sarah
Bernhardt find them again, for her Jewish origin
attaches her to the East and to the primitive world
She knows those movements Of the arms, those In
cnatons Of the head those quiyerngs Of the sboul-
ders, those pastures of the foot and Leg which turn
the first ordinary bit OF stuff that comes into fold OF
marble in Eglnetan bas- relief. Her acting In a
