IExA N DRI "A. " A
MONDAY EVENING", DECEMBER 1.

OUR VERY worthy and excellent contem-
p5rary, the Baltimorean, Is pursuing ire
wrong course to attain its object, the renou-
iustion of ex-President Cleveland. 1t says:
Should the democratic party stultify and
degrade itself by the nomination OF a man
Ike Hill, its platform promises would go for
nothing, because the people would not be
able to place any reliance on promises that
were contradicted by the political career
and she associations of the candidate. No
bona could be entertained of genuine re-
forms of any kind from nominee whose
whole political history and affiliations have
always been openly hostile to reform OF every
character" With one exception, none OF
those who oppose the denomination OF MIR.
Cleveland saysa word against his htness,
their only objection to him being his uaa-
Availability, the fear of his being defeated by
reason of the enemies he has made in his
own State, the State without the vote OF
which no democratic candidate can be sure
of election. Indeed, n ost Of those who OF
pose Mr.. C,evelsnd's nomination praise him
FIR his veto of the dependent pensions osil
and for his advocacy OF q low tariff, aud
nearly ell of those who live outside OF New
York would be his earnest supporters ifthey
believed he could carry that State.

Almost every women understands the
value of beautiful hands, but not every
woman whether she possess the great

who could use their hands so gracefully
that their ugliness was never apparent.

He Thinks It's Declining,
But He Ought to See Our

Interviewed in London the other day.
apropos OF his Australian and American
tour. j. L. Toole was led in roundabout
way to speak of modern burlesdue.
"Rurlesque in these days. said the
comedian, who was himself at one time
famous performer in that form of enter

greater than that enjoyed by any other.

The players Of burlesQue should be
artists In their particular branch--men
and women gifted with keen perceptions,
blessed with ready adaptability and pos
sessed of both lively imagination aud a
keen sense OF humor. They should be
skillful mimics and good actors, for with
out the temperament and the capacity of
the serious histrion it is impossible to
superadd to the art Of expression that
bold vet accurate intensification which
makes burlesque.
Instead of such burlesques and such
burlesquers, what have WEI Look about
