"ColN's SCHOOL"
ON THE STAGE.
Dramatized by a Boston News
paper Man.

Chicago, H., Sept 2.-Pos-
sibly the most novel stage
production ever witnessed in
Chicago was given last night
before a large audience at the
Chicago Opera House. 1t was
a dramatization of the silver
issue in politics and Judging
by the remarkable circnmstan
ces at the end of the first per-
Torrance, the play is likely to
attract widespread attention.
The ''Silver Lining" is the name
of the play. The theme was
by Coins Financial School, :"
and Mr.. Harvey occupied d
prominent box.
Kissing of some Of the lines
early in the play, presumably
by anti silver sympathizers,
caused no little excitement,
which was increased when af-
ter the second act and it was
evident that the piece had made
a hit the author, Fitzgerald
Murphy, a well known news
paper man; being called before
the curtain. suddenly turned TO
Harvey and asked him to say
whether the play faithfully pre-
scented the spirit of "Ccin's
School"
The audience was on tiptoe
at the unusual incident and
when Harvey, ar ing in his
place among II spectators,
said; at does ost magnlfi-
Gently there eas cheering

The play self proved an
unexpeclaf strong one in
dramatic crest t was richly
mounted isis play being his
first pers .nal venture. The
author delied before the cur
tain that the play was being
backed by the silver interests.
A feature of the piece is the
excellent work of William

upon you her claim and right
to earn an honest living by
working for the state her hus
band served so we'll in the try
ing days of the six-shooler
rule.
Capt. McNelly was q brave
and efficient officer who was
sent into this section when it
was terror stricken, run over
and imposed upon by reckless
American 1aesperadoes and
bands of Mexican raiders. He
restored law and order in conn
ties where good citizens dared
not open their mouths against
the expressions they lived TN
der; where men were shot down
on the highways in the broad
light of day, and taken from
their houses and families at
night and hung to trees and
left to sirangle to death.
The history of Gonzalez. De-
Witt, Karnes. hive Oak, Nue.

written in the blood Of their
citizens, and to no man are we
so much indebted for the peace

NORTH CAROLINA ON THIRD
TERMS.

Has North Carolina changed in its be-
lief regarding a third term for a Presi-
dent or do the people have no objec-
ton to third term per Sc?
These questions are pertinent in view
of the fact that in 1907 the Legislature
of this State voted by formal resolutions
in favor of giving Mr.. Jefferson a third
term, and the Legislature of Massacbu-
sets, Vermont, Rhode Island, New
York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey
did the same thing. These States could
have re elected Mr.. Jefferson, and Vir-
GINA was ready to vote for him, if the
President had not prevented such action
by his own State. 1t is thus true that
"thrice" was the Presidency "ofered"
Mr.. Jefferson, and that he deliberately
and patriotically put it away from him.
Washington and Jefferson are the only
two men who declined the tender of a
third term. Jackson might have won it.
But no other men have lived to whom
the people were willing to entrust such
power. And they were wise enough
and great enough to prefer safe rule
for all time to further personal prefer
ment.
In letter to Colonel John Taylor, dated
January 6, 1905, just after he had been
the second time elected and before he
had been the second time inaugurated
Mr. jefferson used the following langu-
age:
"The danger is that the indulgence
and attachments Of the people viii keep
a man in the chair after he has become
dOtard, that reelection through life
will become habituaI, and election for
life follow that General Washington
set the example Of voluntary retirement
after eight years. | shall follow it. And
a few more precedents will oppose the
obstacle Of habit to any one after a while
who shall endeavor to extend his term.
Perhaps it may beget disposition to es-
tablish it by an amendment Of the Con
stitutiOn. | believe that | am doing
right, therefore, in pursuing my prin-
ciple | had determined to declare my
intention. but | have consented to be
silent on the opinion Of friends, who
think it best not to put a continuance
out Of my power in defiance Of all cir
