Recon. German Political Plays.

Some months after Bismsrck's dis,
missal historical play called Der
Neue Herr" was performed at Berlin.
The subject was the gloriication of the
young elector of Brandenburg, known
to history as the great elector, who, on
ascending the throne of his fathers, dis
missed his fathers wicked minister. OF
course nobody could fail to notice the
singularly i'll chosen historical parallel,
but 1t did not end there. The emperor
visited the performance night after
night, applauding vociferously, and even
went out Of his way to confer marks OF
distinction on author and actors.
This episode was in general discreetly
passed over by the press at the time; the
fruit was not ripe, the cup not yet full.
But for all that it wounded the feelings
of many who, whatever their party, had
retained unsullied the sentiments OF
chivalrous gentlemen. A more recent
attempt to propagate political ideas by
means of stage play, which also found
dernonstrative patronage from the en-
peror, was choked at its birth by the
apathy of the public, who sat on tho
half empty benches in disdainful silence
amid the boisterous applause Of the en-
peror. Contemporary Review.

shall We Have : yaeh. R.ess

There has been an annual stir--fnore
or less newspaper stir, be it confessed
every year since 1887 over the pros
pect of an English yacht coming over to
race for the Americas cup, and each
year, after few days exploitation. the
commotion has given place TO the usual
peacefulness that characterixes interna-
tional yachting matters ON this side Of
the Atlantic. The same old s.if," rs ap.
plying to resembling the dimensions
clause in the deed OF gift. is always the
stumbling block, and has become a veri-
table bette noire to American yachtsmen.
This year the stir is without foundation.
for no challenge has been sent, and even
had one been received and accepted. no
race wouid be held until 1893. But the
prospect for an international race is very
gloomy.
The Englishmen declare positively
they win never race under the present
deed of gift, with its dimensions clause
compelling them to give away all the
measurements of their boat ten months
in advance OF the race, and those MEM
bers of the New York Yacht club who
have the matter in charge are equally
positive in declaring that the dimensions
clause shall remain. To the outside
yachtsmen-in fact. to any sportsman
it looks as though the New York Yacht
club committee, having taken this po-
sition, was determined 10 hold it, despite
the consequences. However, as the
races have always been arranged be-
tween two or three men on each side. it
is possible that some contingency, OF
which none outside the innermost circle
are informed. may have demanded this
obnoxious clause"
Whatever the cause, the fact remains
that yachting on both sides the Atlantic
is suffering from the deadlock.

FUN IN the Peoples Party Convention.
One of the funniest incidents of the
Peoples party convention was the pres
entation of collection raised for the
Moore boy drum corps, which accom-
panied the Renville county delegation.
The boys are all members Of one farni-
ly. The oldest, about twenty, beats the
big bass drum. the second Is q snare
drummer, the third and fourth are
fifers, while the fifth and sixth, four
teen and twelve years old respectively,
make up the complement of snare drum
mers.
Chairman Stewart called the drum
corps "the Renville band," and lat the
suggestion of your chairman" collec-
ton was raised for the boys. The popu-
lists responded freely, and the hat col
lection footed up 1885. The "band"
was called to the platform to receive the
contribution, and the boys came mp
ready to play tune In acknowledgment
of appreciation. After Stewart handed
over the money the boys played "The
Girl Left Behind Me-" and some dele
gate was reminded of the mother of all
those boys.
81 move vote of thanks to the mother
of those boys" he shouted. The motion
was put and carried by rising vote.
After Stewart had declared the motion
carried man on the floor called out:
Whats the matter with the old
man2"
Then followed the most ludicrous
scene of the convention. Men howled
themselves hoarse, and it was several
minutes before business could be re-
sumed. Minneapolis Tribune.

Comm untC@rfOu with SUr0nueU BntpSs
Some months ago, when the Elder was
stranded off the Isle of Wight, the pro-
prietors of The Graphic offered prize
of G100 for the best invention for en-
abling ships to communicate with the
shore. In all 2,200 competitors entered
for the prize, and the award has just
been given to Messrs. Thomson and No
BILE, of Southampton. The best means
of communication is considered by the
judges to be rocket, and the prize
winners rocket has about 1t novelty
which has been proved to work admi-
rably. 1t is fitted with strong grapnel.
and carries of course rope, single or
double, according to distance.
The grapnel remains closely shut
while the rocket Is in fight, but the
moment the ground is reached it opens
and clings on to whatever 1t touches
The rope may then be made taut from
the ship, and the passengers and crew
landed In the ordinary way. The adj
vantage Of this arrangement is that the
work of rescue can be performed In the
absence of assistance from the shore
