IT is announced in eastern papers
that Jennie Winston, the woman-man
of comic opera, is going to perform
the title role of a new passion play,
called 90 The Young Messiah" The
Washington Post says: The play is in
three acts, and contains half a dozen
tableaux, depicting the idealistical and
poetical side of Christ's life. There
will be considerable music in the piece,
which the author believes will give
fine opportunity to Miss Winston, who
is peculiarly suited for the part be-
cause OF her success in the brigand
role OF Fra Diavolo.'" The author
also assures the public that "Miss
Winston will represent the Messiah as
a beardless youth, and according to
some of the early paintings, with a
face that never grows old, but wears
the light of immortal beauty.

EDITOR STANDARD:
The question now asked is, When
will the Legislature adjourn?
That little back-pay grab for clerks
puts me in mind of shooting-match
l was at once. There was a certain
party there who had no gun or am
munition. After they had shot sew
eral times and the persons owning the
guns and ammunition had became
tired, this party exclaimed "Let us
have another shot, boys. who in hi
cares for expenses?" That is the way
with that honorable body, "Let us
give the clerks another dollar; who in
h-l-cares for expenses
We did not any of us think, however,
when We were at the polls we were
going to put all the fighting cocks in
the State in Office, but such seems to
have been the case. AS fast as one
member introduces bill others try to
knock it out.
/ think the capita city ought to
have company of United States
troops stationed there to keep the
members at the capital, or probably it
would be better to drive them away.
There is one thing, however, l think
they ought to do before they adjourn.
That is, introduce bill to compel all
the farmers in the new State to sell
their farms and appropriate the money
for the use of that honorable body, and
that those who have no farms be COM
PEELED to pay certain amount of
money. Then they could remain in
session all summer; they might as well
make one big grab as so many small
ones.
1 think it is time for taxpayers to
wake up and put men in Office who
will use little economy. 1t is not
right to increase the burdens of taxa
ton to support officials in luxury or
show. If the salaries were reduced
one-third and men sought Office for
honor instead of high salary, we would
have better men in Office then we
have to-day, and there would not be
so much money disbursed and wire
pulling at the polls. Some doctors
reduce patient to a mere skeleton
before trying to cure him. That seems
to be the way with some of our legis.
lators. They are trying to reduce the
State to worse than skeleton; OF
probably they think it is their last
chance. / think it is with some oi
them.
l am certain our legislators can look
back with pride ON their labors during
the last two or three months-that is
on the appropriation bills, if colossal
proportions elicit pride. l believe the
majority of the voters in the State are
OF the same opinion l am concerning
the acts OF our legislators.

Herr X. is much given to spending
his time at the club-room indulging to
excess in what is poetieally called the
Glowing bowl" Curtain lectures have
no effect on him, as he does not quit
carousing until he gets through.
Not long since, while thus enjoying
himself. a messenger arrived in hot
haste.
Herr x" said he, ''there is girl
at your house.
"Tell her to 60 away. What have |
got to do with the girlsP l am re-

''Whati Left an infant at my door?

that news"

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

Advantages and Responsibilities.

There is a place and an opportunity
not TO be despised for the country
newspaper worker, and with this, rs
with every large opportunity. serious
obligation to careful thorough. hon
est work. writes Elwin A. Start. in the
Nctc England Magazine. 1t is not
too much to say there is no better field
for an intelligent. well-eQuipped man
of large sympathies aud vigorous per-
snnality than the editorial chair of a
country newspaper. nor is there a posi-
tion which places upon a man greater
duties TO the community in which he
lives.
The editors of the great metropolitan
newspapers rest on the heights of inn
personal journalism, fiinging their
thunderbolts with freedom born of
almost entire personal responsibility
and while the thunderbolts are in great
part shattered on the rocks below. the
country editor walks with the multi
tude in the valley. gives the weight OF
his personally to the impersonal words
of his paper, which come to the people
like the warm handclasp of friend.
measures his words in accordance with
the peculiarities of his constituents. and
influences the thought and feeling of
hundreds where the thunderbolt of the
unapproachable Joye strikes one.
Ii was 4 successful country editor in
a thriving Massachusetts town who
oLce sagelv remarked that, If he were
a candidate for office. and must take
his choice between the combined sup
port of the metropolitan dailies and
that of the country press, he would
choose the latter and accept with
equanimity the hostility of his city
brethren. Every country editor knows
that he was right. The great daiiies
so-called, are received in tine abstract
as yenders of the worlds news. Their
resources in this direction are great
and cannot in the nature of things be
rivlled by those at the command of
country papers of limited circulation
But the country paper comes closer
to the hearts of the people at large, 1t
is more thoroughly read, and 1t has an
influence the greater because 1t Is one
of The subtle, unrealiZed, everyday
forces of life. 1t IS held rigidly TO ac-
count for the honesty and fairness OF
its utterances. 1t cannot palm off up
on its readers what are known in the
slang Of the newspaper fraternity as

anv marked extent and prosper. as can
its neighbors in the great cities. In
most communities. in New England, at
least, its constituency is largely found
in the churches, and will not tolerate
vulgarity.
The country newspaper stands to
dwellel.s outside the large cities in the
place of friend and regular home
visitor. and it is essential above all
things that it maintain the good char
acter and good breeding that are re-
quired OF other friends, if it would
Keep warm its welcome in the home

Inefficient We presented The Comedy

aware that we worked on it for years
before it was ever produced. But we
failed to impress the man in question

ing, that of the rest of the company.
and said that the play had been better
presented many times in indianapolis.
Now, any one who is at all versed in
theatrical annals knows that Rob-
son and Crane have been the only
ones to present it in America in
the last ten years, and that it was
never done but very little before
that. Hang it said Mr.. Crane, what
is the matter with the fellow? / don't
mind his finding fault with us, but we
have pretty good company. I'll go

don't like your notice at all, sir, he
said TO him. You say you have seen

it better?' The critic evidently dis
