OF Sweet Lavender to be played in Gran

says
Sweet Lavender reminds one irresisti
bly, of everything good that we associ
ate with the thoughts of our younger
and purer days, that is sanctified
and hallowed in our memories before
the constant conflict of every day life
brushed away our nobler ideals and com
mercialized our ideas and purposes. 1t re-
calls the Arcadia, through which we have al
at some time passed. 1t is the forest OF
Arden, pictured by modern hands for moderr
eyes. 1t is placed before us like an old
fashioned garden, fragrant with the perfume
of jasmine and mgonette, of wild thyme
and noddng honeysuckles, and with the sun
shine kissing the downy peaches on the
south wall.

who find dialect stories irritating have no right to attempt to read them. As for competitors, no doubt dialects are difficult to put into type but competitors business is to follow the copy set be- fore him and make no complaints One of the best examples of the dialect story is Thomas Nelson Pages "Meh Lady," What be more simple, more touching, than the way the old negro tells of the death of "Marse Phil"? What be more delicate, more eloquent than the charming manner Tn which he describes the love scenes? Would MT. Johnson like to see "Meh Lady" put into cold, matter r-of- fact, grammatical English? What would be the effect If 1t were done? The story would Do utterly ruined. "Meh Lady" is one of the master pieces of its class and Is also of the most beauti ful short stories that has ever been published. Be- fore condemning the dialects of this country, one should read not only the stories of Thomas Nelson Page, but also those of George W. Cable The dialect of the Creoles is most musical pleasing to the ear, poetical, and altogether charming.
 In the literature of this country we always want the Yankee to speak like the Yankee the Creole to speak like the Creole, and the negro to speak like the negro.

A Plea for the Dialec, Story.

William Earle Baldwin. In North American Review.
 In recent number of the North Anaericdn Re- cseO MT. Norton V. Johnson strongly condemns the dialects and dialect stories of this country. His remarks very much prejudiced he can see nothing at all to commend in dialects; and all to- gether he gives his side of the with great frankness.
 Do we want dialect stories in this country? Yes most emphatically, yes. A dialect itself may be a Hgn of ignorance, and may also show lack of edu- cation, but there is no denying that there Is tain picturesqueness certain fascination about it that makes it very taking. It is impossible to have the representatives of the different nations aud classes in this country speak universal lan- guage with the same accent and enunciation, and long the different dialects are spoken, just SO long will dialect stories be written, Mir. Johnson states that the dialect stories have irtated thous- ands of readers and hundreds of competitors. It is true that class of readers find it little difficult at first to get accustomed to the dialect, but majority of the intelligent readers in this country have no difficulty at all in understanding it.

A SOCIAL NOT A POLITICAL PROB
LEM


The Waco Day, replying to THE GA
ZETTE IS comments upon its plan for the
solution of the negro problem, suggests
in effect that something in a political way
must be done for the negro or the South
will lose by his acknowledgements the
strength he gives it in congress
and in the electoral college. The
question, as the Day views it F., is narrowed
to choice between negro representation
in congress and negro Acknowledgement,
with consequent loss of political power.
When no other alternative is presented it
may become necessary to choose between
two evils, but for the present
we must dissent from the Days estimate
of the gravity of the emergency. 1t is
undoubtedly true that the Republican
party having enfranchised the negro for
political ends which he has not subserved
would be as prompt to take the ballot out
of his hands, were the means available
for such a decisive policy. 1t is much
easier, however, to create 900 ,000vo
than to disfranchise them. A reaction
airy policy is possible in this instance only
through the connivance of large ele-
ment of the Southern Democracy.
THE GAZETTE S contention is, that the
people of the South have done their whole
duty in solving the race question, and are
doing it manfully. Their yearly do

through voluntary taxation, contribute
more to his material advancement than
all the tears shed in his behalf,
all the eulogies pronounced upon
him and all the frantic appeals
made to him by his Northern
political allies. If the plan now in
operation does not solve the question of
his right to full citizenship then he does
not deserve it, and, when that is evil
denced, Acknowledgement win become a
duty, not merely to the North, but much
more to the South and the republic.
The true race problem is distinctively
social, and not political. That it is
associated with politics now is
due simply to the stupidity of
great party in seeking to reverse history
and dominate one section of the Onion
through its most ignorant elements.
Whenever that policy is relinquished the
negro will cease to be a disturbing ele-
ment in politics, and VIII be left to work
out his own salvation socially just as
other people have to do.

you choose, downright rivalry, has just
and rightful place in the plan of any
human life. A prize fight is probably the
most disgusting spectacle on earth, but it
has in it just one moment which very
nearly approaches the sublime; and that
is when the eombatants shake hands with
each other and exchange that salutation
as old as the classic arena, may the best
man win > 1t is the equitable thing that
the best man should win. -
Lillian Russell IS refusal to wear tights
in 1.-The Queen's Mate'' seems, in its
way, TO have raised quite as much of q
hubbub as Mrs Langtry's kilt episode
and the magnificent hesnings of Mrs.
Potter as Cleopatra. A writer in the
New York Star says it is explained that
the fair Lillian declined to don the single
thickness of pink silk that goes as an es-
sential part of the costume of Hungarian
hussar, because it would have to be worn
only ten minutes, when her sprotean role
would demand another change of ward
robe. She makes the point that she is
afraid of catching cold, and that she can
not. like others in the cast, who also
have TO put on tights, wear beneath the
pink silk a lining OF lamb IS wool or some
other protection against the weather. OF
course this is all very comical and
capital advertisement with the public,
but l IN told that Lillian is really too
buxom TO permit of using lamb wool
suit, and that ten minutes for tights
would be altogether too terrible an ordeal
for her TO undergo
