cir. Elstner still Thinks Cleve-
land is a Silver Man.
CARSON April 20, 1892.

CARSON april ~, 1917.
EDITOR APPEAL: Though the error
you made this morning is of little
consequence l would like in justice
to myself and other Democrats who
favor the nomination of Mr. Cleve-
land that you will correct it. You
said this morning:
NIilt Elstner is dead opposed to
any Silver Club proposition and
writes to the Gazette to say that the
Cleveland Democrats will have moth
ing to do with it. This is quite cor
rect. The Cleveland Democrats are
all anti silver being in the same boat
with the Harrison Republicans.
l do not believe a Nevada Demo
crat can be found who booms the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland who is
not an earnest and firm friend of
silver and anxious to have such laws
enacted as would put silver on par
with gold.
Their opposition to the organiza-
ton Of non partisans Silver Clubs in
the State arises from the belief that
such organizations originated with
political dessemblers for their bene~
fit and not for reason of a sincere
friendship for silver.

the African black. He will fight till he falls,
and so will his sisters, for the amazon or
women-warriors of Dahomey are world
famed. Besides being natural warriors,
they are the best disciplined of the African
native tribes, and as the King insists on
success in battle or death for the survivors,
the Dahomey warriors never confess defeat,
but fight while they have o breath left in
them. On one occasion within the past two
tured by the Dahomeyans, and, curiously
enough, liberated again with . letter to
'tKing" Carnot of France, written by the
Dahomey sovereign, who was in a good
humor for a wonder. From the pen of one
of these Frenchmen we have the best de-
scription of the remarkable Dahomeyan
army as it appears to-day. This is so inter-
esting that quote from it the following:
''There could be no questioning the fact
that they were fine fellows, robust and full
of muscle, their white, flowing robes bring
ing their ebony figures into strong relief
Silent ourselves and prey to deep emotion,
we traversed their serried ranks, and after
a quarter of an hours march reached the
second line, consisting of 4, 600 amazons, the
1000 black virgins Of Dahomey, who form
the bodyguard of the King. armed with rife
and knife, and ready to attack at the slight
est signal of their master. Old or young,
plain or handsome, they are all alike mar
velous to see. As full of muscle as the
male warriors, their attitude is as we'll dis
ciplined and correct, and the leaders at the
head of each column are easily recognized
by their rich attire and their resoIute air.
Such are the amazons under arms, differing
very much from the savage horde which
fancy has painted them"
AS the population of Dahomey is es-
timated at more than 200 900, any or all of
which can be turned into soldiery by the
King, it can readily be understood that the
French will not have such a small affair on
their hands as most persons imagine.

MAY Produce the American Play.

Clyde Fitch, the young American dram
atist, has an interesting personality, ano
although he is very young he has done g
good deal beside writing several successful
plays and getting into superb controversy
with that eccentric genius Richard Mans
field. His bachelor quarters in New York
have enough bric-a-brac. old pictures, tap
estries. and curious antique silver in them
to equip far more ambitious establishment
He does not live there all the time, though
probably his heart is usually true to Man.
haitian. In the spring his fancy turns to
London, where he yery sensibly abjures
lodgings and rents a small house, as one
NAV do for a moderate sum in that great
wilderness of brick and stone. Before he
wends his way back to work and the West
he usually takes flying trip on the Con
tinent to see what is new in the dramatic
world of Europe, and also to refresh his
acquaintance with Old World art in all its
forms. This may be interesting, because 1t
shows that the young man, he is only 25,
has definite method, and if it has resulted
already in giving us several plays of origin
ality and finish, it may later on develop the
long-looked-for great American play.
1t seems rather singular that young
man, who has startled New York with
fn-de-siecle drama, should have made his
first mark in books for children only three
or four years ago. In fact, Mr.. Fitch seems
to have grown pretty fast, for it was but six
years ago that he was graduated from Am
herst, and memories of his participation in
dramatic affairs there, of the original poem,
said to be unusually e1cruciating, which he
recired at the commencement, still hang
about the college. W. G. KAUFMANN.
