The Importance of the coming French
elections lies in the fact that it will en-
able the people to indicate the lines in
which the policy of the republic both at
home and abroad is to be conducted. The
whole Chamber of Deputies is TO be
again chosen, and upon them rests the
responsibility, in conjunction with the
Senate, of eleeting president to succeed
Carnot upon the expiration of his pres
ent term of Office. There are, according
to the New York san, two further ques-
tions to be decided. The first
is the relative strength of the
conservatives, who under advice
of the pope are now supporting the demo-
cratic institutions and, secondly, the
struggle among the agricultural com
mercial and manufacturing interests to
secure representation from among their
own ranks instead of the professional poll
ticians who have heretofore monopolized
the Chamber. The struggle at the polls
will, as a consequence, be sharply drawn.
The supporters of President Carnot
seem to have outgeneraled their enc
mics who sought to drag him down into
the mire of the Panama scandals and, as
sisted by the recent victory in Siam, the
existing ministry has great hopes of a
signal victory.

moment a certain number of investments

have an uncertain future, and must depend
for their continuation upon the loan market.
II enterprises of this sort have been under
taken upon great scale in fields which
promise no early return, or no return at all,
we have the materials of a great crisis, such
as the country went through in the railroad

AMONG the humorous incidents of the
opening of the new congress is the an
nouncement made by james Seldom
Cowdon that he is willing to sacrifice
himself TO the interests Of his country
by serving rs speaker of the house of
representatives. Mr.. COwdOn is not a
member of the house and in that he dis
covers his greatest claim to honor. The
constitution lays no obligation upon the
house to choose one Of its own members
speaker and such selection rests merely
upon precedent. The new congress,
however, did not appreciate Mr.. Cow
don's unselfish proposition and elected
a speaker without listening to his
protfered remarks. SO the country will
have to wait u little longer before an
outsider is chosen to occupy the
speakers chair.

otwithstanding the fact that the weather
was so warm last evening that very few
people had sufficient courage to look ther-
mometer in the face, Boyd's new theater was
comfortably flied to see Jane"
This queen of comedies was presented
last evening by one of Charles Frohman'5
excellent companies The secret of Mr..
F'rohman's theatrical success is due largely
to the fact that he realizes public approval
of a strong cast in the presentation of gilt
edge comedy.
The performance of "Jane" last evening
was preceded by an original one-act English
success, entitled The Setting of tho Sun"
1t was pretty picture from the album of
life-a simple story OF a sisters sacrifice.
Pathetic in every sense of the word it
was direct contrast to the rolicking farce
of Jane" that followed.
Miss Jennie GeamanS scored decided hit
last evening. Her emotional work in the
character of Janet Moorfield in THE Setting
of the Sun" was exceedingly clever. 1t was
highly appreciated by the audience, as the
screaming farce of Jane" which fol-
lowed the "curtaln raiser" displayed
her ability in comedy lines. The two plays,
one pathetic, the other ldughable, afford an
opportunity for full range of acting Miss
Yeaman's versatility was never seen to
better advantage. She transformed her
audience from tears to laughter This ver-
satile actress is still ussoclatcd in the public
mind as the original Innocent Kidd of
,'Parlor Match" fame In Jane some of the
mannerisms of Hoyt's happy thought still
cling to her In the title role last evening.
however sheNyas a decided success.
Mr.. AdOlph Jackson, another new face in
the cast, was most acceptable as Charles
Shakelton. Mr.. Joseph Allen as the fat and
joyial kershaw, was natural and in favor
with the audience. Mr. and Mrs. Alf Fisher
fulfilled their parts satisfactorily and The
balance of the cast was fully up to the usual
standard of excellence found in Erohmans
companies
Jane" is one Of the brightest Jewels IN the
crown of comedy and fully deserves con-
tinuation of popular patronage.

Any attempt to crowd more silver dollars
in place of paper money upon the citizens of
this country would be an utter failure. They
would be seriously annoyed by the loss of the
small notes If they could be withdrawn from
circulation, which would take place very
slowly. They would not submit to the greater
annoyance of loading themselves up with
silver. The latter would become u greater
nuisance than i. is now, and the people who
are willing to use it in It's paper form, but not
its metallic form, would be tempted to re-
pudiato it utterly as money on account of
weight, bulk and clumsincss.
