as woman she could not help but
have feelings for the wretch she
was soon to degrade. The womanly
nature induced her to plead with
Skylock to give up his thirst for
revenge, and as she then knew,
would save himself from ruin and
humiliation. Miss Kelly represent
ed the character Of Portia in Dig
nified, womanly and natural manner,
while the rendering of the lines and
the expression of emotions was
worthy of the warmest praise.
For all the other characters we
have but words of the warmesi
praise. What they had to do they
did well, and their most admirable
work had a great deal to do with
making the drama fine success.

Merchant of Venice.

The Shakespearian drama, "Mer-
chant of Venice" was repeated at
the Opera House last Wednesday
evening, by the special request of
large number Of people.
There has been few professional
theatrical companies here who have
given better satisfaction than did
those who made Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings of last week no
table in the theatrical history of
Alpena, and the manner in which the
characters were rendered, shows
that great care and study had been
given to interpreting the well
known work of Shakespeare. In
many companies the minor char
acters are neglected, so that the
star can shine the brighter in con-
trast with the poorly rendered parts
of subordinates.
A. E. Ross had far different
ambition. He strove to make every
part success, and the result of his
teachings was the presentation Of
the drama with every part good.
He did not seek to have all the
glory fall to Skylock, which
character he so admirably repre-
sented, but educated his supporters
so that each one in the cast did the
work allotted to them so we'll that
there resulted a strong and har-
monious rendering by the various
characters, producing a finished
work of dramatic art, worthy of
the highest praise, and showing
that careful and mastery study
had been made of the drama.
We have not the room to spare
to speak of the entire drama, and
can but devote space to the court
scene, which was wonderfully rea-
listic and deeply exciting. All the
emotions Of human beings were
there portrayed with a mastery
hand-love, revenge, mercy, cupid
ity, friendship, resignation, scorn,
hatred, sarcasm, and other traits of
humanity, and were artistically in
terpreted by Skylock, CA. E. Ross },
Portia. miss Della Kelly, Anton
10, (E. A. Westrope), Bassanio,
"A. w. Simonson), Gratiano, (Wm
Monaghan), and the Duke of Ven
ice, (Dr. j. FL. Small).
In that scene Skylock gave a
truly grand representation. His
tiendish thirst for revenge; his
gloating over the torture he was
about to execute on his enemy; his
contemptuous refusal to exchange
his hate for gold, followed by ter
rble ruin and the lowest and most
adject humiliation to which a man
can fall, were exhibitions of a mas
ter in the art of acting, who SO
identified himself with the part he
represented that the scene impress
ed the audience as if it had been
real, and feeling of relief was ex-
perienced when bar was placed to
cutting the pound of flesh from
Antonio's breast. It was'a wonder
full realistic presentation of stage
art, by one who not only displayed
his ability as an actor, but who
must have made a close study Of
the Merchant of Venice, and gave
it as Shakespeare must have intend
ed it.
It was in that scene that Portia
gave fine dramatic representation,
personatlng Balthazar, a man, and
doing her work in a most commend
able manner. Hers was a difficult
part. A woman acting the part of
a Judge, and who had to bring hu-
initiation to the vengeful and tri-
umphing Skylock. As Judge she
had dignity to maintain, and justice,
without regard to consequences, and

Success of the Administration


Ex-Governor William E. Russell,
says the Saginaw News, has con-
tributed an article to the May num-
Der of The Forum, on "a year of
Democratic Administration" He
clears the way for a frank statement
of what has been done, by explain
ing the proper point of view to
Judge the success of the party.
There is, he points out, a radical
difference of doctrine and purpose
between the parties, and every man
who wishes to make a fair judg-
ment will keep in mind that the
purpose of the, Democratic party is
to limit the powers of the govern
ment to prevent its interference
with private business, and, both for
political and economical reasons, to
reduce the tariff to a revenue basis.
1t is from this broad plane only
that it is fair to judge the party.
Matters of administrative detail are
important, but they are subordinate.
Personal and sectional matters may
be important, but they, too, are
subordinate. The one leading
question is, has the administration
kept faith with the people who
ordered it to reform our fiscal sys-
TEN? 1.-THE election of 1892" he
says, considered and decided this
one question uppermost in the
minds of the people, as clearly as
the election of 1850 dealt with
slavery, or the election of 1864 with
a vigorous prosecution of the war"
Governor Russell then proceeds
by asking, how far and fully has
the Democratic party met it's i'm
perative duty? and he says:
ut has with reasonable dispatch
framed and put upon its passage
Legislation to this end. 1t has in
such legislation properly recognized
the necessity of proceeding slowly,
carefully, in any great reform
touching many and varied inter-
ests, but it has radically and per-
manently changed the tariff policy
Of the country.
"A year of Democratic admins
tration can show as worthy record !:
"1st. Loyalty to his main duty
of repeating McKinleyism, revising
the tariff policy of the country, and
making public, not private inter-
ests, it's fundamental principle.
"2d. Placing the currency of the
country upon a sound basis by the
repeal of dangerous Republican
Legislation.
"3d. Repeal of the federal cleo
ton law, and a reuniting of the
country more closely in love and
loyalty.
"4th. Economy, retrenchment,
and reform in appropriation, ex-
penditure, and the administration
Of all departments.
"These things it has done, not
only in adherence to its principles,
but also in obedience to the explicit
mandate of the country.
"Last,-and perhaps not least
honorable conduct Of our foreign
relations, with justice to a small
and weaker power.
1.-THE Democratic party in the
past has achieved success only by
courageous loyalty to principle, it
never has succeeded by subordinate
tactics for craftsmanship, or COM
promise for courage, and it never
will"
Governor Russell has in the
main stated the matter clearly.
The president has done all he could
to further the enactment of tariff
legislation, congress is acting en-
tirely too slowly, and if it will only
hasten the work the success Of the
administration will be even greater
than Governor Russell has pictured.

For several days the Democratic majority OF
the House of Representatives has been engaged
in q despcratc effort to gather itself together
TO do n particularly dsreputablc thing. 1t pro
poses to pcrpctrate a grand larceny. for by no
other name can the unscating of Congressman
Jov be described If ever man was fairy
elected to anything Mr.. Joy fairly elected
IN the LID Congress- and the outrage which
the Democrats are trying to pcrpctratc. and
probably will pcrpetratc, ought TO earn Tor them
the Indignation Of all respectable people.
The facts in Mr. Joys case are simple They
are stated fairly enough in the majority report
Republicans will be entirely willing to have the
case Judged upon the Democratic statement OF
fact. The Australian ballot system in modi-
fled form existed In Missouri in 1882, ana gov
crned the elections there that year. Mr. Joy
was the Republican candidate In a dlstrict
within the city limits of ST. Louis. His Demo
cratic opponent was Mr.. O'Ncill. The law pro
yided that the ballot clerks, two in number nj
every poll, as they delivered the ofhciai phi
lots 70 the voters should write their initials
on the ballots. and that the inspectors should
not dcpost ballots not thus initiallcd. No pen
atty was provided for a failure to regard 'hese
provisions. nor did the law. in cnumcratinS the
kinds OF nallOlS WHICH SnOulu h't w ''''''' -
deposited include such rs failed To snow 'hlS
Endorsement.
At several polls ballots were received and de-
positcd which bore the initials of only one OF
the two ballot clerks. 1t appears that th're
were 937 of these ballots. Some were joy nli-
lots some were O'Nc ballots. II is not claimed
that they were dishonesty cast. that the pai-
lot clerks acted corruptly. or that the voters
know that they were offering defective ticket.
The Judges of election counted these baHolS'
therc being nothing in the law which instructed
thcm to do otherwise and Mr.. JOY, having re-
ccivcd a ma iorty Of all the votes east. obtained
his certificate and his seat. Mr. oNcillS con
fest was undertaken on another theory than
that these ballots could be thrown ont. ami ne
cntcrcd into Il stimulation with Mr.. Joy during
the recount that 40 ballot should be thrown on
His other theory failed him. however and ne
