well known critic says of Lewis Morrison:
"Nr Morrison's Mephisto is typical devil-iust
the one that the old burghers OF quaint Nurem-
berg imagined walked among them to destroy
innocence and make worse the already wicked.
In his scene with Martha. the gossip, he is prob
ably at his best in the play. Indeed, as q whole,
may make bold but not exaggerated statement
when l declare that Mr. Morrison is G finer
Mephisto than Henry Irving. 1t possesses
qualities that Mr.. lrving's Mephisto lacked
more authority more breadth OF conception.
Mr. Morrison also has better voice than Mr..
Irving, and there is an infinite diahlerie in HIS
conception of the part that certainly surpAsses
that of the celebrated English actor"

Clement Scott Coming to America.

private letter from London brings the
information that Clement Scott, the dra-
matte critic of the London Telegraph, is to
visit America this winter. Mr.. Scott is
one OF the best known tirst-nighters in the
English capital. He is stout, gray-haired,
has gray mustache, wears eyeglasses, and
IS rated the best authority on the drama in
England. He has many friends, but an
army of enemies. He has made and IN
made many playwrghts and actors His
dramatic column is still regarded as the
standard authority, and his article is
nervously awaited after the performance
of new play. His judgment is usually
good. He finds good deal of fault, but is
lavish in praise for good work. A nice
paragraph by him will sometimes mean IS
more week on the salary of some deserv-
ing actor or actress who is little known and
not appreciated, and his condemnation of a
new play is usually the end of the venture.
Tuken all in all he is regarded as eminently
fair and just He has never used his posi-
ton TO iniure any one. What he has done
has been from conscientious motives.
Mr.. Scott is patient student of the
drama. He has the best theatrical library
In England, if not in the world. He will be
warmly welcomed IN America, for he has
been particularly agreeable to American
actors and actresses, and many dinners and
receptions will be given in his honor.

The Democrats Ought to be Satisfied.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE reason why
the Republicans elected their representa-
tive in congress from the Fifth Michigan
district, Yes, l will tell you," said ex-
Postmaster-General Don NJ Dickinson.
1.-The vote was divided be-
tween the Republican candidate and
two Democratic candidates. The combined
strength of the straight Democrat and OF
the Industrial candidate was very much
larger than the vote by which the Republi-
can was elected. In the national campaign
the vote will go to the Democratic candi-
date"
"Of course" he said, 'every one
who was associated with Cleveland's
administration must rejoice over
the result in New York, Massachusetts and
Iowa. Campbell made glorious fight in
ONO and deserves great credit for it. l re-
greet he IS not to serve another term as gov
ernor, but Mckinley's election is not much
of a victory for the Republicans.
To be decisive, he should have
carried the state as German carried Mary
land. With the national party organiza-
ton straining every nerve in his behalf he
should have been elected by very much
larger majority than he got. From a party
point of view McKinley's election, l think,
will prove benefit to the Democrats mas
MUCH as IL Will compel the Republicans
to stand up to fight in defense of the Nc
kinley law. That is, of course, what we
Democrats want. If Mckinley had been
beaten the Republicans would probably
now be looking around for some other is
sue. l think the Democracy is sure
of success in 1892 on the
tariff issue. The tariff will be
the issue upon which the campaign will be
fought. l do not think the silver question
will figure in the campaign. l think there
will be legislation of a tentative char
acter on that subject by the Fifty
second congress. / doubt its being
possible to get a free-coinage bill through
the senate. The margin is very narrow,
and IN the last senate the force bill fight
had a great deal to do with the vote on
silver. But if free-coinage bill should
be passed by both houses of con-
gress, the probabilities are that it
would be vetoed, and this consideration
would probably lead to some experimental,
perhaps temporary. financial legislation
which will carry the whole question over
until after the national election
Dickinson said he thought the result of
tuesdays vote made things look bright for
Cleveland.

AN OCCULT POWER.
Wonderful Predictions of Young Girl
In Iowa-Her Prophesies
Fulfilled.
Special to the Gazette.

Hamburg, Iowa, Nov. 6-There is a girl
In this neighborhood whose wonderful pre-
dictons and their Notifications are the talk
OF the whole county. The girl is Laura
Speed, and she IS but fourteen years old
She first showed her power about a wear
ago when she came down to breakfast and
said that Mrs. Jones was going to die be-
fore night
Mrs. Jones was neighbor who lived half
a mile from the Speeds. She was in good
health the day before, aad when the girl
was asked why she said such things she
SAID she did not know but that something
SAID so to her, That day Mrs. Jones was
Killed IN runaway accident. This caused
much talk and the girl said she could not
account for what she said as she was awake
OF the time when 1t seemed as if something
said in her ear that Mrs. Jones would die.
FROM that time to the present Laura has
made several predictions and each one has
come to pass. Her most pronounced pre-
dlctlon was made on the 18th of last Sep
TENDER, when she said that many children
would die soon. Within week malignant
dlpther1a broke out and became so yirulent
that the schools were closed. Within two
weeks OF the prediction seven children had
died IN the town and neighboring country.
On the morning before the recent earth
quake she SAID, I'VE are going to get
shaking up" She could not explain what
she mean, but said that was what She had
been told. That night the earthquake full
filled her prophesy. Her latest prediction
Is one which has caused much uneasiness
among those who have heard of her former
sayings and have noted their truth, for she
says that much trouble is coming to every
body living in this part of the country. She
does not know what the trouble is or when |
II will come, but says that it viii be soon. |
The girl is perfectly healthy child. and is
IN no way given to hysteria. She says she
