FALSE DIETARY PHILOSOPHY.

Every now and again some profound philos-
opher of the Edward Atkinson school settles
the whole industrial question on a dietary
basis. With a soup-bone and handful OF
leeks, gathered on the roadside, he evolves q
magic broth, which will sustain family OF
nine persons for a week.
He lectures the workingmen upon their be-
setting sin of eating too much. At the butcher
shop they call for sirloin instead of round and
flank. The latter will sustain life as well, we
are told, as the former; but it lacks tooth
someness and flavor. What has a laboring
man to do with favors His business is to live
and work, especially work.
The thought seems never to enter the brain
of these food economists that the men who
create all the good things Of life have some
claim to share in their use. Neither do these
dietary philosophers reflect that in those
countries where people live most meanly,
they are the least progressive and accomplish
the least of the worlds work.
America and Americans lead the world, not
because of race or blood, for all bloods
mingle here, but solely because of better feed
ing and clothing and housing.
Economy of living is praiseworthy in times
of distress. but when it hardens into a creed
for everyday life its influence is only hurtful
to the national life.
Plnching and saving year after year have
their narrowing effect on mind and body.
And the thought comes home to the working
man with great force: Why should miss life's
good things? Wherever can live cheaply
there am asked to work cheaply and let the
fruits of my frugality flow into the pockets OF
those who control my industrial destiny.
And the policy of scrimping the body is one
that hurts the manufacturer and the producer
equally with the workman. Why is our home
market the best in the world? Only because
we are better Hvers. And those purblind
economists who perennially give utterance
to that mooney sentiment that economy is the
road to wealth should be relegated to the rear
of our industrial procession.

AS THE CROWDS COME OUT.

| Happy forest of Arden. Rosalind dwelt
under thy bcughs! Rosalind the merry, the
| joyous-hearted, the arch, the coquettish, the
tender, the witty, the beautiful, the silvery-
tongued, the infinitely womanly. Thrice
happy Rosalind. Thou hast the one woman
who perfectly realizes the ideal conception OF
| thy delights!
Who can watch the play of feeling, the end
| less subtle suggestive change on the lovely
face OF Miss Julia Marlowe during the scenes
| between Orlando and the mock sheppard and
| ever after question that she is the best OF the
| Rosalinds? l cannot. / can conceive OF no
womanly sweetness and subtle artistic under
| standing whose combination could more
| yividly suggest. create the picture that was
in Shakespeare's mind. One watches her
face and the motions of her gracious form
and listens to the witchery OF her voice every
| moment that she is on the stage. and always
she is the forest itself, the sunshine, the song
of the birds, the summer JOY OF the world, the
| embodiment OF it ali, the soul of it all.
The company that helps Miss Marlowe to
take US back to the happy forest is little
changed. 1t is an excellent one, fitting every
part acceptably Miss Eugenia Woodward is
as bright and demure a maiden as Celia, as
she was in .'Chatterton." The Touchstone
Of J. r. Armory is unctious. viii Boag has
made a marked improvement as Amiens over
his rendition last year, and is as happy
country lout as he was before. Walter Hale
is handsome Orlando, and is no more over
shadowed by Miss Marlowe than the play
makes necessary.
Verdis famous three-act opera la Traviata"
was given by the Hinrichs' Opera Company
at the Academy last night to good-sized
audience. Marie Van Canteren, who took the
part of yioletta, was in excellent voice and
was loudly and repeatedly applauded for her
excellent renderings of the well-known vocal
numbers in this popular opera.
The parts of the two Germonts were well
handled by Messrs Guile and Ganor, while
Pietro Mascotti did himself proud as Baron
Daphol.
"Traviata' is not as popular as Carmen"
or "Mignon" as "Cavalleria Rusticana" or as
several others that the Hinrichs' company has
given, and while the opera was we'll given the
orchestral support was not always of the best.
Washington is glad TO get a three weeks sea-
son of opera like this. To those who have
not heard the leading operas it is rare treat;
to those who have, it is a pleasure to repeat
ores recollection.

In fight between the crew of the train and

for alleged discrimination by passing the or

between the trainmen and officers, coupling

The Miner desires to call attention to
the following striking proof of it's claim
that silver is the great issue, the extrac,
coming from one Of the truest champions
of Western interests In the country, the
Denver News:
That the business paralysis followed in
the wake of the adverse silver legislation
should be conclusive in establishing the
connection. But even clearer evidence
that a money famine is the real cause Of
the industrial depression is found in
the conditions that prevail in other
lands, where the influence of our tariff
changes could cut no figure. Every
where in o~hristendom wealth is on tor
and industrial toilers are struggling in
approximate want or actual starvation.
This economic status is at the root of the
anarchical demonstration now becoming
so common.
The power that is crushing the work.
ing masses of the United States is crush.
ing the forces Of production everywhere.
The News yesterday contained an inter-
view with j. C. Osgood, President of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, who
has just returned from Europe, in which
he corroborated testimony that is uni.
versal when he said:
1.-THE situation abroad in the financial,
commercial and business world is far
worse than it is in the United States.
There is more depression in all lines Of
business, and the people seem to be la.
boring under a collapse of which we in
this country have no appreciation. In
this country, ever in the East, the con-
.ditions are far less discouraging. Butte
