NEW YORKs CHINESE THEATRE

Let us FIRST consider the Chinese the
atre. In contrast with the vaudeville
performance of the Bowery theatres
and gardens is the Chinese play,
steady, dignified, dramtic, rarely even
humorous. Here, instead of some IN
namable social scandal being utilized
as the dramatic impulse of their play,
the national history, the greatest fic-
tions of Chinese literature, embody-
ing innumerable moral precepts and
examples, are the subjects for the ac-
tors Interpretation. The Chinese ac-
tor himself is the very embodiment
of dignity, while the quintessence Of
etiquette marks his manners. He
endeavors to conceal rather than be-
tray emotion.
Do the Chinese dance? Never;
neither in China nor in America, I'M
less they have become so far donation
allied as to be considered a foreign
graft on the western stalk, which oc-
| ours not once in 1000 cases. There
| is therefore no dance upon the Chin
csc stage. In all their performance,
from beginning to end, there is no.
where any sort of a dance, from the
! likeness of the minuet of a century
ago to the latest ballet step of today,
| The Chinese look upon such a thing
as entirely beneath the dignity of a
| Chinaman, and such n performance
would be received with disgust and
Kisses.
A well-known New York daily news
paper recently made itself ridiculous
and lauded it's own ignorance to the
skies, by referring with beautiful Sc
renity to the wickedness of the vau-
devilIe performance in the Chinese
| theatre. A vaudeville performance
! in a Chinese thearte? There is nc
such a thing. Even more than that
to a Chinaman it would be an insup'
| portable scandal that women should
appear upon the stage as freely as
| they do in America and Europe. Such
| a thing never was known either IN
China or in the Chinese theatres OF
America. A woman appears only
when her husband or father is mem
Der of the company, and then in the
most insignificant parts, and her iden
tity is suppressed rather than adver
tised. Women's part in ninety-nint
cases out of 100 are taken by men
and these are enacted with a modest!
a;nI hCmilliy vLIch we wo III fall
see copied by the actresses of on,
stage today, aye, even by some of on
women themselves. Could a little o
the Chinese dignity, reticence ant
womanly modesty be poured int,
American blood it would be a GOO
thing for the American people and al
admirable specific for the American
"girl of the period" There is there
fore no comparison to be made, iron
a moral standpoint, between the Chin
csc stage and the vile, immOdest an
frequently obscene performance
, which the white people of the Bower
put upon their boards.

Texas, like Ephraim, is joined
to her idols, and she will have to
be let worship them in her own
way. All the same the handwrit-
ing on the wall, the legible letters
of decreased majorities, teaches
that it will not always be thus,
and that the time surely draws
nearer in which the present cor
ruptions in the state machinery,
and the present retrOgressive pol,
icies, will no longer receive the
support of the people. 1t is a
long lane that has no turn, and
Texas has gone on in the narrow
ness as long as is profitable. She
will come to the turn in less than
another decade.

1t is in order to recall the
words of the Great Humanitarian
President, You can fool some of
the people all the time, and you
can fool all the people some of
the time, but you cannot fool all
of the people all the time" This
is one time when the attempt was
made to fool all the people, and
it failed. Lincoln knew what was
true in his time would be true
in our time. 1t has proved so.

A NEW ERA DAwNs.

The election of Mckinley is
confirmed by the later reports,
and there is not a doubt that the
next administration will be Re-
publican, with both houses of
congress in line behind him. The
free silverites are making desper-
ate attempts to stave off the &C;
ceptance of the result, but it will
not avail. The union of Populists
and POpOcrats has changed the
complexion of some of the re-
turns, and in some sections, as in
Missouri, prevented the election
of the Republican state candi-
dates, but it has not changed the
general result, and the majority
in the electoral college is not less
than forty for Mckinley and
may reach eighty, for several
states that are claimed for Bryan
are still in doubt. Illinois is Re-
publican by an overwhelming
majority and Altgeld is showed
under by the very substantial ag-
gregate of 1885. This will set
at rest the future attempts of an
archists to gain control of that
state. Chicago spoke at the time
of the Haymarket riots. She
spoke again at the time of the
the railroad troubles. She
speaks now. Her voice is for
law, order, sound money and the
protection of property. The les
sons of the election are yet to be
learned, but it is not too soon to
note the unmistakable manner
in which the people of the cOun-
try in the great commercial and
industrial centres have declared
for sound money and responsible
government. The majority,
though decisive, is not enough so
to absolutely silence the agita
tons of the free silver crowd, but
the legislation of the next four
years will put that matter at rest
before another presidential cleo
ton in such a way as to satisfy
the sensible silverites without
committing the country to the
irresponsible issue of all the free
silver coin that the bullion own
ers of the metal may see fit to
dump upon the mints of the Unit
ed States. The coming congress
will be sOundly protective. The
revenues of the country will be
raised and some advance in the
payment of the debt contracted
under the Cleveland administra
ton will be made. The country
will recover its confidence, and
the industries of the people will
be promoted by wise and whole
some legislation. With this
there will come a greater content
with existing conditions and the
free silver craze of this presiden-
tial contest will go down to his
tory as one of the most unneces
sary and hurtful that has ever
agitated the country in time of
profound peace.

HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACK

In speaking of this much dreaded di-
sease, Mr.. c. NJ. Dixon, of Pleasant
Ridge, Pa, said: 81 have little girl
who is troubled frequently during the
winter months with croupy affections.
Whenever the first symptoms occur,
my wife gives her Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and the result is al
ways prompt and satisfactory" This
remedy is used by thousands of moth
ers throughout the United States,and
in many foreign countries, and always
with perfect success. 1t is only ne
cesary to give it freely when the
child become hoarse or as soon as the
crOupy cough appears and all symp-
tons of Group will disappear For
