To those who realize how dear to the
hearts OF political parties Is that power
which comes alone from absolute control of
governmental machinery IT must seem more
than strange that Senator David Bennett
Hill should have been called upon to preach
the cardinal principles Of democracy to a
democratic President a democratic Ser ate
and democratic House. But that Is what
Senator Hill did today, ami those who heard
his speech or who viii read It cannot but
admit that a preacher the senior Senator
from New York Is n success. The topic to
which he devoted most OF his attention
and the greater portion of his argument
was the income-ts< feature o. the tariff
bill-worthy the attention Of all American
citizens The subject was handled in a
mastery manner, and those whom the Sem
ator regards as reaegsdes were not spared
In his treatment of what he evidently be-
heves to be an ofrense against good govern
ment- The speech. however. will long be
remembered for the severe criticisms it con-
tains as to the policy or lack OF policy Of
those who. according to the Senator. are
driving the democratic party to political
ruin 1t was sreat opportunity for Mr..
HILL and he took full advantage Of it. He
told his auditors what sort OF a democrat
he Is by telling what sort of democracy
he repudiates, and no showed very clearly
that he had no patience with leadership
that ignored party pledges AMI sought to
make compromises with mugwumps and
populists- Likely to be frequently quoted
are those two sentences which say: "Pru-
dence dictated that this Congress should
not attempt to formulate new democra tic
doctrines to which We have never been COM
mitted. but rather carry out the pledges we
have already made. 1t is a wise party
which does those things which 1t ought to
do and has promised to do. and leaves I'M
done those things which 1t ought not to do
and has not promised to do" The Sena-
tors protest against the reputation Of
the promises OF the democratic party In
order TO adopt and carry out the promises
or the populist party is a forcible appeal
TO some Of those democrats who thought
lessly or through demasogic influences have
looked favorably upon the income-tax idea.

From Our Democratic Contributor.
To the Daily LIGHT.
Anent our Congressional race, in
which Judge Noonan opposes a
Democrat not in accord with his
party, it can be said in favor of the
Judge, that he was nominated years
after Judge Wesley Ogden pre-
sented his cane to the editor of the
Express, and before the "black and
tan" Republicans offered the State
of Texas eolored man as superin-
tendent of public schools; he can
run his race as he did all former
ones without any partisanship and
leave it to the people Of the 18th
Congressional district to declare
whether they prefer a Republican
to a Democratic Congressman,
each Of whom is running on the
Republican platform as far as op-
position to the Democratic idea Of
tariff reform is concerned.
AS an admirer of Judge Noonan
[ am glad to learn that he is being
opposed by a journal that seldom
fails in defeating its favorits and
that lately added to it's retrogat-
ing popularity by openly and wan
tOnly insulting our most liberal,
wealthy and enterprising business
firms, which, to a large extent con-
troll the mercantile affairs of our
district, and have, no doubt, ere
this notified their correspondents
that said journal is unable to re-
sist any clinking coin, and on that
account opposes Judge Noonan, a
poor man, who, though in accord
with it's often announced prin-
ciples, has no money to spend
Well, he does not need any, since
he enjoys alike the respect of the
Republican and Of the
DEMOCRAT.

Miscellaneous Dramatic Notes.

MISCELLANEOUS Dramatic Notes.
Gilmore's band did not play at
Eldorado last night, as the man.
agement of the resort across the
river is two weeks in arrears for
salaries. On Sunday night the
band refused to give the usual con-
sert until Manager H. f. Schwartz
agreed to pay over the gross re-
ceipts Of the night. After the per.
formance neither the manager nor
the money was forthcoming.-N.
Y. World, August %.
THE RUSH FOR THE STAGE.
AS if the Madeline Pollard cpl
sode were not enough to satisfy,the,
cravings of the American stage for
the fleshy rather than the artistic
we now learn that Mrs. Angelina
Allen, who made a sensation at AS
bury Park two years ago by APP
pearing in a bathing suit that
shocked even the swell of the At
lantic Ocean, is exhibiting herself
to gaping audInCes in this city as
a living picture.
Mrs. Allen is anxious to be.
come a star in the dramatic fir
mament, and she certainly seems
to be figuring to that end quite
effectively. AS "Andromeda" and
"Diana," she has made even a
greater sensation than she created
at Asbury Park in her bathing
suit, or her famous bicycle cos
tune. AS Mrs. Allen is wealthy
and receives only $40 a week as a
living picture, it is evident that
she is aCtuated by the very laud-
able desire of elevating the stage.
When she steps from her trium.
plant position as Q seductive
living picture into star part in
society play her up-tO-date meth
DDS of obtaining an advertisement
will have beneficial result. The
public having acknowledged the
grace of her figure will rush to
hear her preach the lesson that
the ordinary society drama pre-
sents. Her missionary work will
be fully as effective as was that of
country to deliver sermon as
"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray."
| am not certain that those who
carp at Madeline Pollard for going
upon the stage may not be too
hasty. Just Think how much good
she may do with play that
"teaches a lesson" That's what we
need in these days; women, who
for some unmentionable reason
draw a crowd attracted by I'M
worthy motives, and then rub into
the crowd lofty moral lesson,
driven home by climax at the end
of the third act and short prayer
Just before the final curtain falls.
There is a great opportunity in
these days for our playwrights to
produce dramas "written around
a beauty or scandal that will in
culcate the highest moral lessons.

l wish in friendly way, and not

to call the attention OF the city
government to the neces sity of en-
forcing the ordinances for the put
ting down of sidewalks. Let list
be compiled of the streets on which
sidewalks have been ordered with
in the past ten years, and let the
street commissioner personally eX-
anime said streets and report
the names of those who have
not complied with the orders of
the council. Then let the council
order them to construct sidewalks
within thirty days, or the city will
cause it to be done and collect the
costs thereof from the owners of
the lots. The orders of the council
to put down sidewalks are disre-
garded by many property owners
and the result is, the sidewalks are
in spots, and not continuous.
Sidewalks were ordered several
years past, both on Garden and
Presa streets, but several have
not put them down. In
front Of the Swartz property on
Presa street, there is no sidewalk for
more than 60 feet, and it is side
ling and unfit for walking. On
Garden street, piazza projects
clear across the ground, where the
sidewalk should be. On the east
side of Navarro street next to the
bridge, there is no sidewalk and it
is monopolized and INSTRUCTED by
carriages and buggies.
1t is useless to order sidewalks
to be constructed, unless the orders
be enforced. The non-enforcement
brings the orders Of the council into
contempt.
| suggest, that the orders made
for sidewalks be enforced, on every
street, where they have, at any
time, been ordered. II property
owners fail to construct them, let
the city have the work executed at
| the expense of the owners. Good
| sidewalks increase the value of
property and adorn and beautify
the city. / trust these hints will
lead the council to enforce the or
ders for sidewalks. BETA.
