MIX

The selection Of Gov. Mckinley as
permanent chairman of the republican
national convention was . fitting one.
He represents more nearly than any
Que else, except President Harrison, the
principles OF that party. While a mem
Der Of congress he prepared and intro
duced the Mckinley tariff law, which is
based upon the idea that the way to
make the country rich is to tax the poor
people of the land in the interests of the
rich. Under the law Of which he was
the author the necessarles Of life we're
increased in cost and there was no cor-
responding increase in the wages Of
working men or women, nor did they
receive any other compromising benefit.
Maj. Mckinley also favored the notori-
GUS force bill, by which the republican
managers hoped to p%erpetuate that
party in power by the disfranohisement
OF thousands Of voters in the south. He
has always been the friend of the classes
and the enemy Of the masses, and as the
republican party has fostered class leg
islation, m~onopolies, trusts and all sorts
Of Vicious combinations in the interests
of the plutocrats, it is entirely fitting
that Maj. Mckinley should provide over
Its national convention in this year of

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

The advent of Americas most prominent
actor, Richard Mansfield, is largely antici-
pated by lovers of the drama, and his en-
gagement at Ming's, which begins on Fri
day, the 18th, promises to be one of the
most successful ones which has appeared
ut that house. No actor to-day on the stage
is more prominent or commands u larger
clientele OF admirers than Richard Mans
field, and this position has been achieved
by lin III a very few years by d!nt Of i'll
nate genius, and an enc gy and capacity
for work that would not be denied. He 10
not guided or bound down by the musty
traditions of the stage. but possesses an in
telli2ence and courage OF conviction that
causes him to be a law unto himself.
/, He would rather fail in Il cause that he be-
lieves to be right, than succeed against his
own convictions. This trait for many years
made his struggle a hard one, for it is diff
fe ent to overcome ideas in men which arc
practically born with them, but he has
eventually succeeded in making the critics
listen with respect if they cannot agree
with him they, at least, are obliged to give
him the credit which is his due. Mr.. Mans
field il a man who at once impresses you
with the fact that you are in the presence
of an unusually superior intellect. Like
nearly all geniusea his scope il not narrowed
down to one particular line.

An interesting story Of . soldiers obedi-

Pierre and Jeanne worked and scraped

long odds the most polished orator in

THE republicans succeeded in carrying
through part Of their state ticket ut the
Oregon election, held Monday, whereat
thsre is great rejoicing on their part.
Oregon being a republican state the
great satisfaction OF members OF that
party at being able to hold their own
shows into what a deep slough OF de-
spond they have fallen. As they lost
most OF the certain" republican states
at the last general election their depres-
sion is not a matter Of surprise, and
their qualification at being able to hold
their own is excusable.
