SO CALLED FEELING. "

swell, admitting that all men can be
taught to act, said the reporter, you surely
do not think they can all be taught to act
equally well; that every man can be taught
to act as well as Booth, Barrett or Irving, for
example! You must allow something for
gemus!'
Genius is simply an intensely earnest de-
sire to do, with constant application to the
doing There is nothing beyond these. Any
man possessing the physical requisites OF an
actor in the same degree with Booth, Barrett
or Irving, and, having the same amount of
initiative quality, can, by earnest desire and
constant application, make himself rs great
an actor. Ambition and hard work-of
which the latter, i'll the actors case means
study and praCtiCe-are the only factors of
success in anything. Tom Moore says, III his
Life of Sheridan:' Labor is the father of all
the great works IN the world, whether in lit
erature or stone, poetry or pyramids. One
great Stumbling block in the way of actors is
the false idea, 50 largely entertained both by
themselves and by dramatic critics, that act
ing is a matter of feeling. Now, if the actor
feels his part and merely pOrtrays his own
feelings he does not act at all, but that he
does not feel it is proven by the fact that af
ter pOrtraying emotion which caused serious
illness and perhaps death to the character
he is acting, he will completely recover his
equanimity the moment he comes of the
stage
Dumas play of Camille is founded upon
a story of real life, and he tells us that the
original OF Camille, after the parting with
Armand, was sick almost unto death for six
weeks Did any actress who has played
Camille ever feel the part to that extent? |
think not. Every Camille l have ever seen,
after going through the most heartrending
agony at parting with Armand, would come
OF the stage and Immediately commence to
rail at her dressing maid in good set terms
for some real or imaginary fault.
The stories you hear about some actor
50 feeling the part of Richard III that he
fancied himself really that parsonage and
rushed into the street in his stage clothes,
braudshing his sword and calling for a horse,
are simply nonsense. w ashington Star.

Memory.

Youth is the enchanted land to which the
aged flee They visit the old house where
they were born in their reveries; they sit by
the cheerful fire, they smell the roses at their
chamber window, they hear the swallows
and bluebirds; the family are still united,
there are the familiar voices, songs and
laughter, the footballs, the merry life that
used to fill all, indoors and out, so long ago.
They never tire Of the Old adventures, the

form does not contain a word in ref ercnce to it. But as the party has not specifically abandoned and re- pudiated its position of two years ago, and as MT. Featherston votes according to the platform upon which he was then defeated by the people, and afterwards elected by the Republican majority in Con- gress, it is fair to assume that it is still in favor of pensioning every man who was ever enrolled as a soldier or sailor of the United States. In this the L. l.. F. goes quite as far as the pension sharks of the Repuhl- can party have until lately evinced any disposition to go. But this, among other things, is necessary in order to secure Republican zen dorsement, and is, therefore, not to be wondered at

THE POOR WIDOW.

Immediately after President Har- rison's inauguration the Republicans of Hot Springs besought him to ap- point q G. A. R. politician ts be postmaster at that place. The Pres ident thought the matter over, and appointed a female relative of his private secretary. She is said to he a worthy and deserving widow, and capable of properly filling the posi- tiou She was formerly a teacher in the public schools of Hot Springs. But as she is not a politician. the Re- publicans of Garland county do not like her: and in their county conyen- tion the other day they declared, in a resolution column and q half long, that on account of her appoint ment they are compelled to bow their heads in humiliation, and that in consequence thereof, they express their condemnation and derision of the unwise. uncalled for and un- precedented action of the appointive power of this Administration. As the St. Louis Republic observes, this is not very grammatical, but there is a wonderful amount of energy back of it, and we suspect that the poor widow k in danger of losing the of flee. The PICAYrNE Is sorry for her. But the poor widow, like the tax payer, has hard time under this Administration They should both know. however, that this Admins tration is not for widows and tax payers. It is for Pretorians and pension sharks. It is for this reason, and not because one deserving widow happened to be appointed to office upon personal considerations, that all honest people regard the present Administration with condemnation
 and derision.

NO MIDDLE GROUND.

The people have |, Inst got up good head of stcam.-- Dispatch.
 And are forming in solid col umn against the enemy. Their fight is for reduction ot taxes, for more money, for honest Government, for the preservation of their liberties. The |. l.. party is in the hands Of unreliable men. and is supported by lhe Clayton Republican machine in Arkansas for no other purpose than to obstruct and thwart the will of the people.
 We say 10 the yeomanry of the |. l.. party that they cannot rely upon the leaders of their party-that as they love their country they cannot have their party endorsed. supported, placed under obligations to, and ab soluteIy controlled by the old Clay ton ring, as 1t IS now being done. The men in control of the L. l.. party cannot be trusted. The yeo- marry of that party must look out for themselves If they have not enough patriotism and love of coun- try to unite with the great mass of the people who are now making so gallant fight through the Demo cratic party against Federal force bills. against high taxes, against the dcmonctization of silver, against the most reckless extravaganza known Tn our Government since the war, and the most revolutionary proceed jugs ever seen in the American Con gress. they must take their places and be treated as enemies of the peo- pie. In the peoples fight for liberty and good Government. he that Is not for them is against them. There is no middle ground.

WE WILL PRINT TT FOR THEM

4 great many L. l.. 5 are dropping in to inquire of us why the Dispatch does not print the L. l.. State plat form. Of course we can not tell them. nnlcss it is because our con- temporary does not want it's party friends 10 have an opportunity to compare il with former platforms, and note the difference between them. But since they have lcalled our at tcntiou to the matter, we intend that they shall have this opportunity. So next week we shall publish their plat form in the PIcAYrNE. Then they can see for themselves that their so- called party regards the matter of taxation as too trivial and unimpor- tant to be even mentioned in the platform that formerly the party, as shown by it's platforms, was in favor of reduction of taxes, of wO- man suffrage, and of service pen sion and that il is this year mystcri- Ously nou-committal on these ques- tiOnS.

THE U. l.. P. ON PENSIONS.

Two years ago the National plat form of the l.. L. F. contained this plank:
 We demand the passage of service pen sion bin to every honorably discharged soldier and sailor of the United States.
 This meant that the L. l.. r. de- handed a pension for every person who had ever served in the army or navy of the United States even for one day, and regardless of whether such soldier or sailor was wounded or contracted disease while in the service. This was the nature of the pension bill which was passed by the Republicans that year, and vetoed by Grover Cleveland. 1t is also al most identical with the pension leg islation of the present Congress, with the aid of Mir Featherston, and which it is said will increase the pen sion payments to the enormous sum of S2O0 ,O0O .000 annually. But this year the L. l.. F. of Arkansas is my seriously silent and non-commit- tai on this question. It's State plat

! In his speech in favor of free coin age of silver. MT. McRae said, among other things;
 ! But dc not believe that il is either cheap or dishonest money. Fairly treated, it is as good as gold. It is unjust to say that ! those of Us who favor silver desire to pay the nati onal debt with cheap money. As fur IS ! am concerned l believe that any money that is good enough for the plowholdor is good enough for the bondholder, but my main purpose is to restore the measure of value. which believe to be both gold and silver.
 The bill was to absolutely demon etize silver-to enact that silver should not be money at all--and to issue, in lieu of full legal tender coin, silver bullion certificates which should be receivable for private
 debts but not for public debts-for debts due the plowholder, but not for debts due the bondhoider McRae spoke and voted against it. Breck- inridgc, Rogers and Peel, the other three Representatives of the people, also voted against it. They con tended that the law should permit all the silver that can be dug from the earth to be coined into full legal ten der dollars. Fcatherston, Powell Clayton's |. L. Representative, voted with the Wall street crowd in favor of the bill, and it passed. A week later it came back to the House from the Senate, where 1t had been changed to an absolute free coinage bill, and MT. Featherston then voted for it in that form. So he is now on record on both sides of the question. 1 To the tax-burdened and money scant people he can prove by the record that he voted for free coinage and the consequent enlargement of the circulating mediums. To Powell Clayton and all others who think more of the interests of the money kings of Wall street than they do of the interests of the people, he can prove by the record that he voted to absolutely demonetize silver, and to stop the coinage of it entirely, and that he never would have voted in favor of free coinage if his vote had been needed against it. Oh, what a cunning fox MT. Featherston thinks he is, and how gulible and gulled many of the yeomen of the l.. l.. party really are:

The PIcAlINE has not heard Oi Alr, W. B. Hawkins, the delegate to the Republican State convention, winding his fog horn as member Of the l.. l.. lecture bureau since he made that terrific assault on the del- egates to the Republican county con vention at the court house last Satur- day night week ago. We were sat- islicl that night from the way those poor colorcd delegates begged for mercy that it would take them q long time to get over it, but as MT. Hawkins throat seemed to he made of whilleather, we supposed he would be able to attack some other crowd hy this time. 1t may be, however. that he has not found another crowd that would stand and take it, as those delegates dld. Physically, Mir, Hawkins is perhaps the ablcst orator in this country, and the man who gcts corraled and has to listen lo him is entitled to congratulation upon his survival of the b0ulb4td, ment.
