AN IMPORTANT MAN.
Record of Member of the Illinois
Legislature.

Record of Member of the Illinois
Legislature.
A Columbus, O., dispatch Of the 2Sth
says Last week Warden Dyer, of the
Ohio penitentiary, received letter
from Illinois accompanied by photo
graph of H. E. Taubeneck, Alliance
member of the Illinois Legislature.
The photograph was recognized
by officers and prisoners as that
of w. II. Rodgers, who was received at
the penitentiary from Wayne county,
in 1885, for forgery. He was parolod
August 7, 1856. on the strength of what
have developed to be forged letters
from the judge who sentenced him;
from Fred. Woods, of Indianapolis, who
claimed he committed the crime for
which Rodgers was convicted; and P. P.
Laughlin, of Youngstown, who was to
give him employment. He left the
state as soon as he was released and had
not been heard of since. The descrip-
ton Of TauDeneck and Rodgers tallies
exactly as to build and complexion, and
even to the fact that they each write
with their left hand. Taubeneck is the
member of the Legislature who recent
ly attracted so much attention from the
fact that on his vote depends the cleo
ton of the next United States senator"

THE press association of the state of
Missouri met in annual session short
time ago. Before the assembled editors
one of them read a thoughtful paper
touching upon the newspaper of the
future. 1t was rather courageous of this
editor to make public his opinions in the
face OF the present trend of metropolitan
journalism. The paper of the future, he
says, will be rather small affair as
compared with that of today. The news
will be condensed to degree that would
create CONSERVATION among the space
writer's of our day. He says where q
column is devoted to an item its salient
points will be compressed into para
graph. The paper of the future will
aim to get all that is done ia all parts of
the world in items ranging from line
to ten. lines. Fine writing, sentimental
comment, philosophic reflection will all
be discarded. So will dreary min
ute detail which tells us the
tramp who committed the rob-
berry. wore grey sack coat with a
hole as largeas a dollar in the right ell
bow, and had lost one button at the
collar, and another two inches lower
than half way down, that there was
small pimple on the left side OF
his nose, mole on his right ear, and
that one of his shoe strings was united.
This editor might have gone further in
his representations as to the paper of
the future, and said that more attention
would be paid to financial, industrial,
social and educational matters, and less
to dog fights, prize fights between
obscure hoodlums; less to all that con-
Germs the seamv side of life and the un-
important, vicious and degraded mem
bers of society. But then blackguards
and scandal mongers will not be al
lowed to do intellectual work on daily
papers.

IT rs now in order for candidates for
United States senator to make solemn
declarations that they will spend no
money to secure the office. The stronger
this is asseverated by the men who are
likely to get large vote, the more it
will be believed by nobody but marines
or old ladies who lead Sunday-school
classes. The only difficulty the candi-
dates will find in placing their money
where it will do the most good will be
found in the Spartan integrity OF the
members of the legislature themselves.
Bruner might sell San Francisco
pOliceman's berth, but he would scorn
to take money to vote for United States
senator. So would they all of them. 1t
is amusing to see how that truly good man
Colonel Otis has been hoodwinked since
he went to Sacramento. They have ac-
tually made him believe that no sack
viii be produced, because the leading
newspapers of the state have declared
against the custom of selling the sena-
torship. When it is remembered that
they have always denounced and in
weighed against the traffic, one is de-
lighted with the child-like simplicity and
provincial verdancy Of our editorial con-

ways in greater .demand). would be
welded together in one fungible mass.
which would be vastly less liable to-
fluctuations than is either silver or gold
alone, when the two do not exert this
reciprocal influence on each other"
If this proposition is true, and it is
logically unassailable, we see no reason
why the government should not place
the two metals on an equality in the
privileges of the mints. The pondera-
bility of one metal over another makes
no practical difference when the de-
livery of metals in exchange is
obviated by the fact that all transactions
are now carried out by paper represen-
tatives OF value.
We believe that Mr.. Cleveland has
made an error in his Reform club letter
which places him in an equivocal posi-
tion before the party. The Democratic
national convention will most assuredly
place free coinage plank in its plat
form. The great consensus OF opinion
OF the party in the west and southwest
points to this; and if that opinion be-
come crystalized in the declaration of
principles of the party, how can the con-
vention, without stultifying itself, place
man before the country as its exponent
who is at war with material plank in
its platform?
But let us suppose that the convention
should consent to overlook Cleveland's
heresy in this particular and place him
in nomination. In that event the party
would be confronted with schism which
would render victory almost impossible.
No party can afford to place its success
in jeopardy by endorsing as its standard
bearer man who is at war with car
dinal principle OF its platform, or the
settled convictions OF great section OF
its members upon question of vital
national Importance.

The storm which interrupted rail-
way business for the past two weeks,
complicates good deal the problem as
to how we are to get our big orange crop
to market. The estimates put the crop
at 1000 cars. At this date it is not prob
able that much more than 500 cars haye
left the state. The season is generally
supposed to close by the end of June.
Here then are sixteen weeks in which to
ship $500 carloads. That calls for an
average of thirty cars day, including
Sundays. The cars contain about 300
boxes each, so that we shall be obliged
to pick, pack and otherwise handle an
average of over 5000 boxes day for the
sixteen weeks.

M. T. COLLINS having sent in his
resignation as police commissioner, the
question arises who shall succeed him?
The man must be Democrat according

Prayer is said to be willing to serve the
city in this capacity. Mr.. Prayer is a
well-known citizen, who is thoroughly
conversant with the needs and interests
Of the city. He served the county ex-
cellently as supervisor in times gone by.
He is one of our solid men. He has

THE result of the election in the do
minion of Canada on Thursday is not
encouraging to the Tories. Although
they came out with majority of the
representatives to parliament, yet that
majority is not sufficient to reassure the
government. In the last parliament the
Conservatives had majority of forty,
and yet the Liberals made it difficult
5or Sir John Macdonald to carry on the
government. He comes out of the present
contest with that majority reduced to
4wenty-one. Ii he was almost driven to
the wall when he had majority of
forty, what will become of his admins
tration with only margin of twenty-one
votes to depend upon? The Liberals will
thwart all his pet measures, and make
such strides towards policy of CONNER
cial union with the United States as will
force ministerial crisis. The Toronto
Globe very significantly says: Gin times
like these Tory administration pledged
to trade policy that is impoverishing
the people cannot work with so slender
DldlOTlGys luQSGu bllc ldCG blldU
Macdonald, with all the power the gov
eminent put forth to carry the election,
and with the most enormous and aston
isliing concessions made by it to the
Canadian Pacific railway for its support,
could only return SO small majority,
may be looked upon as a practical de-
feat. This election shows that the ele
ment in Canada in favor of annexation
is much more formidable than we had
supposed it was. Commercial union is
phantom. Political union is the only
road to commercial union. Our interest
does not lie in the direction Of CONNER
cial concessions to Canada as British
colony. We cannot afford to revive the
dropping trade of the colony at our own
expense, and the Canadians might as
well look the fact in the face first as
Last. There is royal road, however, to
our sympathies, and our neighbors will
find it very readily as soon as they are
prepared to assume independence and
its logical consequences.

ADJUSTMENTS,
Frederick Warde Plays Othello al
the Grand,

At the Grand opera house last night
Frederick Warde played Othello, with
Mrs. Bowers as Emilia. The house was
very well-flled one again, and the
audience was most intelligently dis
eliminating in their recognition of the
artistic work done in the rendering of
the great tragedy. The cast was salts
factory one, with two prominent excep-
tions. 1t requires very great artist
to act Iago, and a great actress to pre-
sent the gentle Desdemona. This is per-
all Shakespeare's heroines. She is so
devotion to the Moor, that imagination
cannot picture more lovely type Of
womanhood. Her trials and her
grief are great, and to portray her truly
requires the highest talent and the
highest skill in the dramatic art. Miss
Coggswell looked very lovely indeed.
She looked the part to perfection, but
she cannot act it. She has none of the
necessary power in feeling, conception
or utterance. There was an utter in.
capacity to counterfeit the deep passion,
the terror and the love that tore the
heart of the Venetian maid in twain.
Her defects were set more glaringly off
by the perfect work done by Mrs. Bow
ers as Emilia. This was performance
without flaw. In the lines at the
death scene, and elsewhere, requiring
strength, she rose to sublime degree.
The Iago, too, while fairly well done,
fell quite far enough short to be unsat-
isfactory. Mr.. Herman lacks the
Mephisto features of villainy to do JUS
tice to the character. There is too
much openness, bluntness and impetu-
osity in his methods. He is too near
passionate to represent the cold -blooded
villain that sets all about him into an
sulphurous whirlwind of fame while he
remains unmoved except bya deliberate
hate that is so cold it scarcely glows
at all.
In the title role Mr.. Warde does a
great deal of most effective work. He
is manly, soldier-like Moor, and PLAYS
his part with great intensity of feeling
and delivery. The wild torrents
OF passion that sweep the
Moor to his revenge, bringing to
his lips torrents OF words,
the widest and most unmeasured in
their intensity, furnish Warde with just
the vehicle for his best work. 1t is a
part difficult to make too strong; and
yet if one were disposed to be over-criti-
cal he would say that there was room
even here for this actor to tone down his
method of representing both wrath and
grief. In five more years, with the in
creased self-containment that time, ex-
perience and study will bring, Mr..
Warde in this and in many other great
roles will be supreme. He is on the
threshold of the highest greatness now
in many qualities that go to make the
greatest actors. This afternoon Henry
VIII for the matinee, and tonight Mac
beth.

THERE must be a good deal of none

THERE must be good deal of money
and great many people in this good
City of the Angels at this time. One of
the theaters, night or two ago, held
some 1900 people, and the treasury held
about $500. the attraction being one of
Shakespeare's great historical plays.
This argues cultivation, as well as
money, on the part of the people. Last
night two theaters were filed to reple-
tion with crowds of people enjoying
most discriminatory Othello at one
house, and an elaborately staged melo-
drama at the other.
