THEATRICAL EMOTION

WHO, SlltluS Ill tnC pay, hoo AOe
wondered if those portraying passion
we're not moved at their counterfeit
presentiment-so real it seemed.
There's the man in a passion, actually
red in the face and trembling visibly;
the mother weeping over her child.
How true it seems! III she be not
crying, there is every evidence about
her of profound grief. See how she
throws up her arms as though ap-
pealing to the heavens for aid; watch
the muscles of the face. the express
ion of her eyes, and note the depth of
feeling in that sigh she fetches. Is
all this but stimulation? So it has
often been alleged; only theatrical
trickery. Now, however, comes a
medical authority who insists that no
one can simulate passion truly with
out feeling it-at least to certain ex-
tent. He says that the players them
best proof of all being that, from the
earliest days of their apprenticeship
they were hidden to imagine them
selves the personages they would
counterfeit
Any one who has ever been before the
footlights when company was being
drilled will remember the frequent
recurrence of such remarks as these
by the stage manager: "Mr. Jones
you're not feeling the part, you're only
actingit. Noman ever looked asyoudo
when he was really mad. Miss Smith

imagine such a condition; think o.
your forlorn state, the fact that yoI
are not likely to see home and friends
again. Perhaps you will starve, or b'
eaten by wild beasts when nigh
comes"-and so on.
Another authority, in recent pa
per on the subject, takes the opposit'
view, insisting it is all mechanical
He says: "By long practice We ar.
enabled to intervene between tn,
psychological and the muscular o
vascular conditions. Our social edu
cation accustoms us, from infancy up

control over the exhibition of tn,
emotions, and to the well-trained in

and feelings. In the same way actor

a passion to tatters without show

actor who really wept or reall

speech and manners are intended t

The New York Evening Post will begin. on the third of May to issue weekly edition, having for its prin, cipal aim the promotion of Revenue Reform, which has become the para. mount issue in national politics. The existence of an actual surplus in the Treasury estimated to reach SllO,- 900, ,00O on the 30th of June, 1888, and the further increase thereof un- der present laws, are a menace to all business interest, and direct i'm centive to wastefulncss and corrup- tion in the appropriations of public money.
 The attention of the people having been strongly drawn to this subject by the President in his last anuus, message. the need of information and popular enlightment on que~- tions of revenue and taxation has been increasingly felt in all parts of the country.
 It is the intention of Encouragement to make a first class week. " ncwspa- per of 12 pages Subscription price Sl per year. A free copy of the first number will be mailed anywhere on request. Send address on postal card to THE EVENING PosT, New York.

Tom McRae and the Blair Bill.

Much has been said about MT. Me Rae's being in favor of the Blair bill, and MT Barker's opposing it.
 On our 4th page we give in full a letter of Mir McRae, as to his posi- tion in regard to this bill, in which he says he is anxious for it to come up in the House when all of the ob- noxious features interfering with State control of education, will be ta- ken out of it by proper amendment, which he and other Democrats favor. Again. he says, Il shall try to reflect the wishes of my constituents, and Il shall never do anything that will interfere. either with the considera- tion of any tariff bill, or tend to de- feat any reduction of taxes. So, then. Mr. McRae stands opposed to the Blair bill as it stands. but for it properly amended. Tom McRae can always be depended on to serve his constituents faithfully. Read the letter.
 And here it is proper and right to state Mir. Barker favor ed the Sherwin bill in the Legislature of 1883. and it was worse than the Blair bill.

Exercising Their Rights.

Some of our exchanges who favor the reelection of Hughes are dis claiming Justify against the censure which he is receiving at the hands of the majority of papers of the state on account of the Coal Hill affair and because of his open-handed use of the pardoning power. Our friends seem to forget that Gov. Hughes though the chief executive of this great commonwealth is none the less the servant of the people, and as such his official acts are public prop erty and open to inspection and criticism. In the past he has receiv- ed a full need of praise for every du- ty he has discharged and now if he has failed thereon, either from intent or negligence, he must allow those whom he serves to voice their disap- proval It is right and the eXer- else of it is uniustly termed "perse- cution. "--Hope Gazette.
 As said above, our officers can be criticised. Gov. Hughes only did his sworn duty in making good of fccr. but it don't follow necessarily because of such fact, that he is enti- tied to third term. Others can dc as well as he, and the people want a change. Fletcher will be our next ] GnNernOr

The Union Labor Wheelers have curious ideas. They think it all right to discuss politics in the wheel if the discussions are all on their side, but not otherwise. It is dan gerous for their cause to let the full light on and show both Sides.-Locks- burg Tocsin. (Wheel organ).

Putting it Pretty Strong.

The man who cheats a printer would steal molasses out ot a sick ne- gro's ginger cake, take from drum ken man < mouth the last chew of to- bacco; walk all night in the rain to deprive a blind sheep of his fodder travel fifty miles on a fasting stom- ach to cheat a q wing woman out of her collin, or steal the wax out of a dead dogs ear. Such man ought to be tied to a sheep's tail and but ted to death by ram.-Ex.
 The above is putting it pretty strong, but then did you ever stop to think how much gratuitouS work is done by the newspapers: If you ney- CT did. just stop amOment and do so.

If third party is organized and put m the political field, it must be composed of the people, just as the other parties now are-and If the
 people in a new party can bring about reforms, the SAME PEOPLE can bring about reforms in the old parties. All
 that is necessary is for the people who compose the parties TO cooper ate together and assert their power in the parties. This, 1t seems to us, is a plain fact, and can readily be understood by all. Wheelers cam not afford to waste their time and energies on new or third party They have the power now in their hands to accomplish everything they wish, if they will but use it. They have now more power than they could ever hope to have in third party. The only members of the Wheel who are now so hot on the war path for third party, are those who have axes to grind '-men who are broken down politicians, and who are too narrow minded to lead progressive men like all true Wheel CTS. This class could never lead the Wheel to victory. They never have done any good, and never will. They occupy the same position in the wheel that sam Randall does in the democratic party. obstructionists  clogs that impede the progress of the Wheel in all matters of reform. Wheelers cannot afford to risk their interest in the hands of third party politicians. There is too much at stake. e.--Locksburg Tocsin.
 The above sensible article is from big Wheel paper. The third party GU. l.. P.) leaders in Nevada are doing their best to make tool of the Wheel in their own interest, and all their talk and blow" about "rotteness of the the two old par ties is to conceal their purposes to get office in this county.
