measure drafted by Congressman VIII
| son. This is all hrmbug. There is no
| inconsistency
Praise and blame are relative things.
We praise the present tariff when we
| compar it with the McKin' Y atrocity.
We blame the men who curbed the i'm
pulses of reform within such narrow
limits. The present law is the best
that the country has had in a generation,
if not the best it has ever had; but it
is as far inferior to the Wilson Bill as it
is superior to the Mckinley act.
It's adoption was undoubtedly an act
of .'perfidy and dishonor'' on the part of
the men who killed the Wilson measure
| and injected into the bill certain special
| features of protection for favored in
terests. Butt the traitors did not dare to
go so far as to completely negative the
popular mandate of the election of 1882.
The Estate Gazette says
The present tariff law may satisfy the
Democrats. but it does not satisfy the
majority of the people, and as the Re
publican party take cognizance OF the
people, their wants and their needs, It
is reasonable to suppose that the tariff
law will be revised with the purpose of
bringing back to the country that degree
Of prosperity that 1t enjoyed before the
Mckinley law was threatened with as
sault.
The Democrats are a majority of the
people. to begin with.
A majority of the people are satisfied
with the tariff bill. in the second place.
Republican talk of reviving it is all
| nonsense, in the third place. because,
unless it is revived in the direction OF
greater liberality. and especially by the
extension of the free list for raw ma
terials, the revision can never become
law as the Republicans well know.

iie was not only willing to buy it, but
that he advanced the $4,000 or $4,000
necessary TO stage it and put it on the
road Every scene in the play, which
comes to the theater tomorrow night,
will be entirely new. and all are by the
best known scenic artists in the coun-
try. The advance manager says:
"A magnificent autumn scene on the
Hudson river is shown, which is a
Ynsrvel in an artistic way. Unit has
pAinted an interior dressing room in
white and gold which eclipses any
thing j have ever seen on the stage,
and when it comes to realism we have
it in the great scere showing % run on
8 bank, with the towering buildings
looming up all around. That is, in my
opinion, the most animated scene ever
shown in any play. The War of
Wealth is strong enough to stand
without these auxiliarfes, but they
heighten the effect, and, better still,
please the audience, and that is
enough"
America has plenty of promising
actors and actresses, artists who
compare favorably with those in Eng
land and continental Europe; but
not so many stage managers.

to be the most realistic fight ever seen
on the stage. 1t makes ones blood run
cold to see the chair go smashing into
splinters over Corbett's head.

many years. said Mr. Mckee Rankin,
"and l never saw anything like it.
They &c at it like mad bulls, and you

promised for matinee to be given

In the course of an interesting
article entitled Hamlet, from an
Actors Prompt Book" published in
this months Fortnightly Review,
Beerbohm Tree state:
1T has been my aim by the practical
assistance of an actors prompt book
to show that Hamlet's supposed mad
ness was feigned madness, and that
many of the difficulties of this Shakes
pearian MASTERPIECE are really little
else than the outcome of a. super-acute
but impractical comment. If to the
pure all things are pure, to the plain
seekers many things often appear
plain And if some of the alleged OBJ
securities of Hamlet have been dis
PEELED by an actor-manager' prompt
copy, the reason for the miracle may
lie in the fact that Shakespeare was
an actor-manager himself. The fact
must never be lost sight of that his
plays were designed for the stage, and
not for the library; that though the
greatest of poets, he was an expert
enced actor as well; and that. the
prompt copies of his own plays must
have been filed with stage business in
the highest illustrative of the text and
the greater part Of which has been
lost forever"
In this opinion Mr.. Trees idea Of
the melancholy Dane comedies with
that of the late Edwin Booth, who
was ever wont to assert when asked
the question, 81 do not consider Ham

the fingers Of one hand. These stage
managers are capable of re-arranging
and rewriting plays, if necessary, as
well as originating the business tor
them, designing the costumes, and
even providing the necessary music,
as well as the properties. They direct
and assist the stage carpenter, the
scenic artist, the electrician, the gas
man, the property man, the musical

are invaluable, and as they are few In
number, they are paid exceedingly
large salaries, which is about all that
is pleasant connected with their work,
as their fame does not extend far be-
yond the limits of the theatre and is
confined to the profession. The stage
manager is but little known to the
general public, and many an actor

is confident that IL such recommendations had
been adopted by the companies. and the suSSes-
lions then made had been conscientiously carried

In addition to such recommendations and sug-
gestions heretofore made the board further recon-
mends that the method of payment OF the motor
men and conductors shall be such as in no event
to tend to cause employees to attempt to make up
time by running at an excessive rate OF speed
Ordinances should also be enacted by the Com
mon Council, and enforced by the police authori-
ties regulating the speed of and the obstruc-
ton OF tracks by vehicles. The pavemcnts be
tween the rails should also be so maintained as TO
cause as slight Interference as possible with the
