DRAMATIC REALISM.
The Whole Spirit of the Drama Assuming .
Realistic Air.

Ine SShol0 Spirit of the Drama Assuming
Realistic Air.
The play in verse has been complete
~ defeated by the play in prose; the
play dealing with former times has
cleared off before the play dealing with
our own days; and, on the rare occa-
sion when the past is put upon the
stage. no effort is spared to realize it in
every detail-to turn it in a fashion
into the present. Above all, the art of
acting has become merely the art of
reproducing reality. In the account
left to us of actors and actresses of
former days, from Betterton to Talma,
what strikes us, and what evidently
struck contemporary audiences, was
the path os and passion with which GER
tain cap ital passages were delivered.
The exc ellence of the actor depended
upon his power of exciting the audi
enc'e at given moment; the stories of
LEX ain and Adrienne Lecouvreur, even
OF the actors mentioned in Lessing's
I'D ramaturg1e," clearly show this to
have been the case; even if the struc-
tur Q OF the plays deliberately worked
up to certain dramatic points, and all
the rest of the business left rather
vagu e and conventional, did not force
upon us the conclusion that complete
rea lization of situation, scene or a
person, absolute and uniform life-like-
ness, is very modern conception in
deed In the middle of the last century
Lessing, the most realistic playwright
and dramatic critic of his dav. COM
mendeGl the actor who performed his
Odoard1' Gallotti for picking nervously
at the feathers in his hat while listen
ing to the recital of Emilia's shame.
Nowadays there is not q third-rate
provincial actor-nay, scarcely an am
ateur-who would not have recourse
to devices like this, which hundred
years ago seemed little lessi than
stroke of genius. Even upon the opera
stage it has become unusual for one
performer to look on quietly without
any sign of feeling while another is
detailing his feelings in AN air; and
even in an Italian serious opera-that
is to say, in the most i,liotically un-
dramatic drama of our time-one can
notice gestures (that, for instance. of
selling hold of II woman's two hands
and then hurting her aside) which
would, probably have created a ire
mendous sensation if risked by Talma.
The next is stu died-even the most
florid passages like Queen Nab and
some of Hamlet's speeches-so as to
extract from every word whatever in
dkcation of gesture or information it
might possibly contain, whatever dra-
matte essence the author failed to put
in, and the critics insist on putting in
for him. Every thing, has to be made
real, and hence the difficulty which a
large amount of Shah .espeare evidently
presents to men like Salvini or Irving:
they insist upon 81 caring up points
which Shakespeare was evidently sat-
isfied with overlook ng; upon render
ing lifelike what t1e great poet had
grandly left liEeless- Realization, that
is the aim and end of our drama, and
it has certainly been attained in the
most marvellous m anner.-C Contempt

An Industry Which Has Assumed Very

For years the English and French

expressly for the purpose, and put up
in large coils, which are placed on
reels, and the end of the wire is placed
in a clamp which carries it to the ma
chine while Strengthening it; from
there it runs to another machine,
which cuts, bends and, by delicate
and instantaneous process, sharpens
the points. Running at full speed,
these rnashines will turn out hundred

NUMBER So
The Town OF Hoisineton.

Most people know that there is q
town. or rather q prospective town.
called HoisingtOn in the northern part
of the county, On the new line of the
Missouri Pacific. Some persons affect
to believe that it will one day make
. great town because it is surrounded
by rich farming country, others BE
lieve that it is possible tha: one day
it will be the county seat of Barton
County. We want to say in the first
place that we have no unkind feelings
fer this town. We know several gen
tlemen in this town who are interested
there, and We esteem them Aighly.
We don't believe there 10 q single one
of the members Of this town compeny
who has an idea that Hoisington will
ever be the county seat of this county.
The idea is simply absurd. HoisinE-
ton will no doubt make q respectable
town some day, town possibly "a
large as Ellinwood, but the idea Of ita
ever reaching the size of Great Bend
or becoming an active competitor Is
"a day dream as wild as the Arabian
Nights" Great Bend is on the
great trunk line of the Arkansas river
in line with all the great and growing
towns Of the valley, it has population
of over three thousands, and property
aggregating over q million. The
same railroad that reaches Hoisington
will also come to Great Bend. No
town in the valley has fairer prospects
than Great Bend. The only thing
that ever can be urged in favor Of
Hoisington Is that it il nearer the GEN.
tor of the county. This is a mighty
slim argument when it stands alone
and will never of itself make a county
seat. Kanopolis is in the exact geo.
graphical center of Kansas, and when
Kanopolis is the capital of the state
we may begin to think that the people
ofBarton will want to move the county
seat to the center of the county.
The town of Hoisington has our best
regards. We hope it will make good
town for its growth will aid Great
Bend in q direct ratio.

The President Not Yet Decided on the
Course He win Pursue.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The statement
that President Cleveland has determined
that no answers shall be given to requests
from the Senate for information as to the
reasons for removals or suspensions from
Office, is authoritatively denied. No such
request has yet been addressed to the
President by the Senate. Several com
munIcatiOns were sent to the Chairmen of
the Senate COmmitteest to-day from various
executive departments in response to
requests for information as to
the reason for suspensions or removals
and appointments. In each case il was
stated that the department had no in
formation as to the Presidents reasons
for the suspension or removal which was
the subject OF inquiry. The papers trans
mitted relate solely to the fitness of ap-
pOintees and say nothing about the char
acter or qualifications Of the officials dis
placed. No issue has yet been raised
with the President on this subject.
The circulars of inquiry respecting
nominations from the Senate committees
were discussed agei at the Cabinet meet
ing THE afternoon. AS result the men,
beTs Of the Cabinet and heads of bureaus
who received that circular have returned
them with the statement that they have
received no instructions from the Pres-
dent to furnish Information TO the Senate
giving his reasons for any OF his acts. To
this they add that any information in their
possession touching the fitness of an ap-
pOintee to office will he promptly fur
nished. The President has not az yet
received any request from the Senate or
any Senate committee or any Senator
for an explanation OF any Of his removals
or appointments, and he has not an
nOuncd what he would do in regard to
such a request should it be made. But It
is understood that much of the infOrma-
ton upon which the President has MADE
removal from office be regards as conf
Dental, and viii not exhibit it TO any one
in or out Of the Senate. But all infOrma-
ton that can be given properly he will
give very readily upon application. Had
the Senate Committee addressed him in
stead Of his subOrdinates in the first in
stance, they might have had a great deal
Of Information by this time.

silvereertificates to represent the silver
In the treasury. Every surplus gold and
silver dollar, he said, not part of the
necessary Treasury reserve should be put
into circulation by a gold or silver GER
titicaIe. Instead OF having too much
silver coin business would be much I'M
proved if we had more Of it in circulation
in the form OF paper certificates TO meet
the demands Of our Immense and growing
business. We could safely carry 100000
900 more silver, and then we would have
less legal tender silver coin than France
and Germany together, and only a little
more Than France alone.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
'lf the national banks attempt to prac-
tically demonetize silver" said Mr.
Brown, in conclusion, land if the officers
who now represent the people in the diff
ferent departments of the government
will not take the matter in hand, then the
people at their recurring elections should
take it in hand, and fill all the depart
ments Of the government with men who
will apply the corrective, and forfeit the
charters of such banks as abuse their
privileges"
Mr.. Maxey followed, taking the same
view Of the silver and bond question as
Mr., Brown.
