The failure of Kansas City to secure
the National Democratic convention, is
accounted for by the Gazette through the
inability of the committee that repre-
scented the city 10 convince the national
committee that prohibition does not ex-
tend all over the town. This, coupled
with the further fact that the city is
conveniently accessible to Kansas
state much given to attending national
conventious-probably had something to
do with defeating the city's claims.

The authorities of Quebec have social
problem to meet that is likely to give
considerable trouble. Some years ago a
law was passed giving 100 acres of land
to each head of a family who reared
twelve children or over. When the law
was passed few expected that the drain
on the government land reserves would
be as great as it has been. In 1889 over
1000 happy fathers came forward and
claimed the land, and up to the fall of
last year 800 more were added to the
list. A new way of rewarding these
worthy fathers of the people will
have to be devised or all the public
lands will be given away.

INFIDELITY'S MISTAKES.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
1t is plain as \ b & that man made a
mistake when he reached beyond his
nature and partook of the tree of knowl-
edge of good and evil and now uses that
knowledge 70 deny his Maker with. The
infidel sees errors in the Bible and for
gets they are his, and departs his way,
or sees our bodies crumble into dust, and
infers we are lost and loses himself.
There is no humiliation of our spirits
which are Gods and immortal if
we obey Him and are His. but we
are naught if we obey Him not. For
God out of compassion 20 man pro-
vided for us a plan of salvation which
promises US better heaven than
the Eden we might have enjoyed by
sending His own Son as an example Of
what he wishes US to be, and when we
believe on him God sends US his Holy
Ghost or Spirit 10 remain with us. This
Holy Ghost is what moved the disciples

endure the cross and rise from the dead.

on Him. -Four words contain all TIE pre-

The good old days of "Pinafore"
were revived at the Grand opera
house last night by the Clerks Re-
lief association, and a big success,
financially, was scored.
The attendance was 30 great that
every seat in the house was sold long
before the curtain raised and stand.
ing room was eagerly bought, until
this, too, was shut down.
The opera was well staged, the
costumes being picturesque and al
though seemingly simple, were very
costly. The scenery, too, was sp'
propriate and the outlines well
brought forth. II was the work Of
Artist Seffsl. Throughout the
opera the chorus was splendid,
except q few little ragged edges, the
ladies were vivacious aud the men
were full voiced. The ladies' dresses,
it was noticed, were made longer
than in the rehearsals.
The leading roles were, as whole.
well given. The burlesque work was
given to Frank Cam as the boat
swain,n and he cleverly acted the
clown.
"Dick Deadeye," the heavy, was in
G06 k66plHR vi aluoip "lOpAOii "hO

basso, which, il cultivated would
bring him fame.
"Ralphn was essayed by
Moses Frank, whose sweet toned,
though not robust voice harmon
lied we'll with the strong soprano)
of Josephine" Miss Hernandez.
This lady was costumed very prettily
and her strong, rich soprano was
quite surprise to her many friends.
With thorough cultivation she could
fit herself for much heavier opera than
"Pinafore."
Mrs. o. w. Hllgers took the thank
less role of "Buttercup," the bumboat
woman, and acted and sang the part
well. She received much praise.
Mr.. Weber sang the baritone part
of the Captain very successfully, and
was we'll rehearsed and In very good
voice. His song to the moon was well
liked.
Mr.. Tobin, as the Admiral, threw
his acting and voice into the work
without reserve and gave the audi
encs a very fine rendition. All the
burlesuue lines were sung or spoken,
not acted.
All In all, the opera was q success.
