AN AMERICAN ORATOR.
Wendell Phillips Before Critical
Canadian Audiences.

John Talbot Smith, in Donahoe's Magazine
His voice was deep, sweet, resonant. The
range of it was not large, for any approach
to the higher notes resulted in harshness,
which invariably sent him back to the low
er register. He had quick ear. The intro
ductorv was simple but fetching. 1t
fetched that audience. anyway, from the
remote corner of suspicion and prejudice
in which it had sheltered itself against the
possible destinations of the orator. The

ment was follows, Phillips being well

Oklahoma seems TO be trying some
thing new in the way of caring for the
insane of the Territory. Instead of build
ing and conducting an asylum at great
expense its authorities have just closed
contract with a private sanitarium
company to care for insane patients at
$500 per year for each patient. This
does away with batch of offices which
are continual source of annoyance TO
the appointing power in this and other
States. and a cause OF contention
among politicians. If proper conditions
are exacted and the welfare of the pa
tients duly guarded there is apparently
no reason why these afflicted wards Of
the State should not fare as well under
private as under public management.
Among the members of the company in
terested in this enterprise are two In
diana men--Dr. L. S. Galbraith. OF Lo-
gansport, and William Galbraith. OF
Peru.

Tights ana True Art.

The bill introduced into the New York
Legislature to prohibit the wearing of
tights and posing in the nude by female
persons was the subject of discussion in
the Central Labor Union in New York
city the other day. At first thought the
connection between labor and the wearing
of tights is not apparent. but this is made
plain on disclosure of the fact that the
Actors Protective Union has a member
ship in the Central union. The delegate
representing the actors was highly indig-
nant. From time immemorial," he de-
clared tragedy, grand opera and tights
have gone together" No one venturing
to hint that he was inaccurate, that trag-
edy without tights had been known and
that music lovers would reject the idea
that grand opera was chiefly a leg show,
he grew excited. Imagine Rosalind in a
Mother Hubbard he said. 81 can't" said
the delegate of the street-cleaners' union.
How would Pauline Hall look in boomers
or Della Fox in ulster continued the
speaker. This seemed to be a convincing
argument for the delegate of the plaster
ers' union and the delegate of the tailors'
union started round of applause. flights
and the stage are inseparable." went on
the imprisoned actor man. Same here"
was the response from large number of
delegates. Then It was unanimously re-
solved by the assembled 1aborers that the
bill was destructive of the interests of true
art, and the secretary was instructed to
write to the author protesting in the name
of the union against it.
1t has seemed to a. supplemented and
Nimperfectly informed public that tights
were more suggestive of nature than of
art, but the public is learning every day,
and will no doubt be gratified at having an
authoritative definition of true art. If the
Central Labor Union says tights are true
art, then true art they are. This does
settle it.

The honors paid to Prince Bismarck
are eminently deserved from the stand
point Of German Imperialism and per-
haps from that Of German patriotism.
He is a patriot in the sense of standing
for the Fatherland against the world
and he is the real creator of the German
Empire. But, after all is said in the
way of eulogy, the fact remains that In
all he has done has represented absolu-
tism. In so far as it is better to have
enc powerful. centralized, absolute gov
eminent than number of petty. war
ring ones. Bismarck has rendered great
service to Germany and perhaps to civ
ilization, but he has done nothing to adj
vance the cause of human liberty or to
shatter the dogma of the divine right of
kings. The greatest German will be he
who leads a successful movement for
the formation of a German republic.

SANDER IN PRAYER.

The case of Miss Kelso, librarian of
the Los Angeles, Cal, public library,
will be warning to ministers. revival
lists and others not to be too personal
in their prayers. From time out of mind
it has been the custom of certain class
of evangelists to single out individual
sinners as objects of especial attention
and pray at them by invoking divine
grace in their behalf. The natural in
ference in such cases is that each per-
son prayed for is a miserable sinner in
need CT regenerating influences. Doubt
less many of the persons thus singled
out have been indignant at the prom
inence given to them and their failings,
but as specific sins are seldom named
and the term miserable sinner may
be applied and is accepted without
offense by devout church people as
open. petitions are apt to nurse their
anger in silence. With Miss Kelso the
conditions were somewhat different. The
beginning of the trouble occurred some
months ago, and was mentioned in the
Journal at the time. The young woman,
acting in her official capacity, had pur-
chased some works of fiction which to
her judgment seemed suitable for circu-
lation, but which were condemned by
the leading Methodist minister of the
city and other censors as immoral and
unfit for Derusal by young persons. The
minister mentioned the matter in his
sermon, and afterwards prayed that the
librarian might he cleansed of all sin
and made worthy of her Office. AS she
looked at the matter the implication in
these words was that she was an inn
moral and improper person; that there
was no generalization, but a specific
charge of iniquity. She wouldn't submit
to it, and brought suit for damages,
with a result as related in to-day'S dis
patches, in her favor SO far as the case
has gone. The courts decision that
prayer is not a privileged utterance, but
may be slanderous as readily as any
other form of speech, promises ill for the
minister in the final verdict. Probably
he meant no reflection on the young
woman's character. but henceforth he
will address no audible remarks, even
to the Lord. which may be construed as
slanderous. If the affair shall result in
checking the exuberance of the Sam
Joneses and others more respectable
than he who take advantage of their
position to make free with names and
characters in their pulpits, the Los An
geles young woman will have done
good work.

A singular movement now going on in
Minnesota is revival of the curfew Gus
tom. A number of towns have enacted ordi-
nances providing that the fire bell shall be
rung at o'clock every night, and after that
hour every boy or girl under sixteen years
of age who is found out on the streets with
out being accompanied by parents guar
dian, or on some important errand, will
be arrested and fined according to the di-
rection of the city justice. The movement
is doubtless a reaction against the license
which permitted young people to do as they
pleased. III

Philadelphia has had trolley cars for a
year. and has never got used to them. One
or more of its citizens, young or DID, gets
run over by them every day, and the papers
are making such a fuss over what they
call the slaughter that it looks almost as if
the trolley system would be wiped out. And
yet all the trouble seems to be that Phila-
delphians have not learned to move rapidly
enough to get out of the way when they
