7 government due bills now redeemable
IN gold would rapidly disappear from
circulation, n,andadditional bank notes
amply secured and for the redemp-
zion of which the banks must them
selves provide, would take their place.
The government would go out of the
banking business.
THE gold reserve can be taken care
of under Tom Johnson's scheme of
issuing small low-interest bonds into
which greenbacks can be funded in
stead of redeemed, these bonds to
be also convertible into greenbacks
again ON demand of the holder. This
scheme leaves the greenbacks still in
circulation whenever there is use for
them, but obviates the necessity of a
gold reserve to redeem them.
Again, the greenbacks can be
funded in longtime bond and thus
permanently retired. But this would
contract the currency so severely
that the remedy might be as dan
gerous as the disease. I confess 1
have little expectation that this con-
gress will adopt either of the first
two methods. 1t is enough for the
average Republican statesman that
they are Democratic measures, and
this alone will defeat them. 1t is not
improbable that the funding scheme,
coupled with some measure author
izing AN increase of our present ma
tional bank notes, may ultimately be
adopted. This is far better than
nothing at all; but it is far short of
what ought to he done.
Another important measure very
likely to pass this congress is the bill
allowing pooling by the railroads.
This bill was defeated in the last con-
gress, but the lobby is we'll equipped
and will probably push it through.
The bill is dangerous, and will be a
serious blow to THE prosperity of the
villages and small cities of the coun-
try. 1t in effect will abolish the
short and long haul clause of the in
terstate commerce act, and practical
ly abolish the act itself. Pooling,
wisely regulated and at all times un-
der the control of the commission,
would not he Objectionable; but their
bill provides for pooling in spite of
the commission; in other words, 1t
restores to the railways that abso-
lutte and tyrannical power over the
rates of transportation which the pas
sage of the interstate commerce act
partially took from them.

if 50, the people in sack cloth and
ashes will regret that they ever elect

The very few presentations of plays
by Ibsen in New York and Boston up
to this time-they can probably alto
gether be numbered on the fingers of
one hand-have been patroniZed almost
solely by persons who are familiar and
in sympathy with the purposes and
works of the peculiar modern school
in literature, of which Ibsen is the
high priest. The critics of the drama
in those cities, for the greater part,
have treated these representations as
faddish, or, ait the best, educational
events which have no possible claim
upon popular attention.
A strange fact of striking interest in
regard to Ibsen has developed this sea-
son. Minnie Maddern Fiske, whose re-
turn to the stage was ,signalized few
weeks ago by her production of a new
play, The Queen of Liars" by Al
phonse Daudet and Leon Hennique,
has prepared a repertoire, including
production also of Ibsen's "a Dolls
House" which she has given at mat
Fiske's tour thus far has been in West
ern cities, that before her coming had
never seen an Ibsen play. Yet Mrs.
F'iske's success in "a Dolls House
in Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Milwaukee and other places has al
ready been subordinate to her re-
markaIble triumphs in her new play.
Everywhere both press and public
have received the Ibsen drama as in
terpreted by her with the most pro-
nounced expressions of favor and the
livelfest evidences of interest. The
truth of Ibsen to nature has been
recognized, while the critics have
dwelt with wonder upon his dramatic
finesse as it has been developed by this
actress. In Chicago last week the same
degree of appreciation and the same
wonder were expressed.

play has attracted attention by reason
of it's many sensational and startling
electrical effects. The play tells the
story of young electrical engineer
and his struggles to complete an elec-
trical machine that he has about per-
fected, and with which he expects 70
win fame and fortune. 1t aboundS IN
dramatic situations ana reallStlc
scenes depicting life in the mining re-
gions. One scene presents the interior
of mining shaft, showing the man
ner in which underground engineering
is carried on, with all the attendant
features common to life in the great
coal mines of this country, including
the tram car running up and down by
which means entrance to the mine Is
effected. This scene closes with a SEN
sational climax in the rescue of the
heroine from imminent peril caused by
an explosion in the mine. Another act
shows the electrical workshop or jim
Rathburn, the young engineer. Through
the Vaccinations of Rathburn's enc
mics he is accused of the murder of
man who was found dead near the
workshop, killed by bolt of lightning.
1t is thought by some that young Rath-
burn had turned his deadly electricity
on his enemy on account or the de-
Struction of his electrical machine by
this man. On this charge he is con-
victed and sentenced to death. The
timely arrival of official papers grant
ing a stay of execution, brought not a
minute too soon by the heroine herself,
secured from the governor on presenta-
ton of unquestionable evidence of the
innocence of the accused, prevents a
tragedy and furnishes a fitting climax
The electrical effects of the piece are
wonderful beyond anything ever at
tempted in any other dramatic produc-
ton. In one act an electrical storm
demonstrates how electricity can be
successfully used to produce stage illu-
sions.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The Press

nor has it been determined who will

Robert G. Ingersoll, who is sched-

lures, that entitled 1.-THE Foundation
Of Faith" at the Metropolitan next
Saturday evening, never spoke more
happily or brilliantly than he did at the
nois cavalry-the ColonePs old COM
mand-at Elmwood, Ill In the course
of his three hours address the colonel
said:
bad as I am, I've got another hobby.
There are thousands and thousands of
criminals in our country. I told you
a little while ago I did not blame the
South because of the conditions which
prevailed in the South. The people of
the South did as they must. 1 am
as he must. If you want to stop crime
? you must treat with it properly. I
am in favor when you put man in
the penftentiary of making him work,
and am in favor Of paying him what
his work is worth. so that when he
leaves the prison cell he will have from
5000 to $500 as a breastwork between
him and temptation and something for
foundation upon which to build a no
bier life.
"Now he is turned out, and before
/ the day passes he is driven back. No
body will employ him, nobody will take
him. and the night following the day
of his release he is without a roof over
his head, and goes back to his old
ways"

In 1885 he was nominated by President
Cleveland as recorder Of deeds for the

JEFFERSON DE ANGELS.
Popular Operatic Comedian Who
Will Shortly BECOME a Star.


Will Shortly Become Star.
BY all odds the most prominent oper-
attic comedian in this country, who is
not star, is Jefferson De Angels,
now an important member of the Della
Fox Opera company.
Jefferson De Angels was born in
San Francisco some years ago. He has
a son a good deal taller than himself,
and is rather sensitive about naming
the exact date of his natal debut His
first appearance on the stage was made
at the decidedly early age of six months
when he appeared as a. property baby.
The records do not show whether or not
he scored a hit, but as all actors do,
it is sure to be presumed that Baby De
Angels was no exception to the rule.
The embryonic comedians first recol-
lection of an audience was in 1864 in
"theater" which occupied the second
floor of a building at the corner of Clay
and Kearney streets, San Francisco.
Among the members of the company
of that humble resort were Maggie
Moore and Lotta.
For about fifteen years thereafter De
Angels travelled with his father and
sister in this country giving little
sketches and one-act dramas. In 1880,
the elder De Angels having died, the
two children went to Australia on
starring tour in a repertory of play
which proved eminently successful
They then organized a comic opera
company, which they took to China,
India, South America, Ceylon, Japan,
and other remote countries. During
this tour Miss De Angels died, and in
1884 Jefferson returned to San Fran
cisco en- route to New York. For two
years he accepted the few engagements
offering, until, in 1885, his first real op-
portunity arrived, when he became a
member of the McCaull company, the
best light opera organization this coun-
try has ever seen.
After three years hard work in the
several operas presented by McCaull,
Mr.. De Angels joined the forces of the
New York casino, which was then in
heyday of its glory. He remained there
three seasons. After one year in the
