WALKER wHITEsIDE's ART.
1t Is as Dear to Him as a Second
Life.

Walker Whiteside, the young TRACE
dian, arrived here last night from Du-
luth. Mr.. WhiteSide is enjoying that
period of life which actors twenty
years his senior envy, in that advanc-
ing years bring to him added strength,
development and symmetry. He is
an enthusiast In his art-ten minutes
conversation with him conyinces you
of that-and the character of Hamlet
has claimed his deepest ambition and
study-that you realize soon after you
have mentioned the melancholy Dane.
In the course of a brief chat with
Mr.. Whiteside last evening, chiefly re-
garding his favorite role, the young
actor demonstrated without q Sus-
picion Of pedantry, his familiarity with
Shakespearean lore, his intelligent
study of stage tradition and his rever-
ent admiration of the great masters
creations. Speaking of the thought
and study necessary to a proper and
effective delivery of ShakeSpearean
cant observation of which many an
older player will recognize the truth
1t was this:
while correct emphasis is abso-
lutely essential to convey the full
meaning of any passage, I have fire.
'quently noted that this matter of en-
phasfs may be oYerdone. The actor
who, In his desire to give to every
word a certain degree of significance,
often burdens his speech with a sue
eession of secondary emphasis that
render him tedious by the time he has
spoken 100 lines After all, every SEN
tence contains but one most salient
word, and efforts to bring other words
into prominence weaken the final eff
feet and destroy the dramatic effect
of the whole. In Hamlet, for instance,
there is scarcely a speech that cannot
be distorted or perverted by laying
undue stress upon words which, while
vital to the sentiment expressed, are
nevertheless subordinate to the con-
trolling word"
Mr. Whiteside does not believe that
the successful actor can invariably
trust to the Inspiration Of his sur
roundings to sustain him In his i'm
PRESERVATION Of character. Under
certain circumstances the Inspiration
may result In bursts of spontaneity
that carry everything before them,
but under adverse conditions, such as
a disordered stomach, a weary mind
or a depression OF temperament, the
inspiration cannot be invoked, and
the actor, without the resources Of art
at his command, Is helpless. It is here
that the artist is distinguished from
the player who relies solely upon the
inspiration Of the moment.

Rev. A. r. Moore delivered q brief adj
dress, in which he eulogized the prin-
ciples of the order Of Elks and dwelt
upon the beauty of the thought which
had inspired the memorial occasion.
Too often, the speaker said, those who
had been known and loved were for
gotten, and the feelings prompting the
cherishing Of those who had been
called from associates and friends was
worthy the blessings of God and the
nurturement of mankind Q The pyra-
midS, for centuries refusing to give up
their secrets, had been erected in mem
DRY Of the dead, but such monuments
were as nothing compared with those
expressions Of the soul poured out in
commemoration of the departed Elks
by their sojourning brothers. The de-
sire to be remembered was a passion
of every heart, and so it was indeed
comforting and beautiful thought
that the members of the order had con-
ceived so fitting a manner of COM
memorating it's dead brothers. The
memory Of the dead had been inscribed
Oh the hearts of the living and thus
the brotherhood of man was kept in
dissoluble even beyond the grave. The
future held IN store for those now sep
arated for time a glorious reunion
when the brightest and best things Of
life would be lived over again.

paid all these debts and no one Is the
loser thereby.
Then the question might arise why
not have counterfeit money? The rea-
son Is simple. To preserve stability Of
prices 1t Is necessary to have a uniform
volume Of currency. On this point
all writer's on political economy agree.
And here comes an important issue
raised by the Peoples party. The gov
eminent the people, alone can be
trusted to preserve this uniformity Of
volume. Congress alone is invested
with that power. 1t was denied to the
states and why should 1t not be with
held from corporations who have every
incentive to abuse it. Why even should
1t be confined to the uncertainties Of
the varying production of one, or even
two, metals? The power over the cur
rency carries with 1t the power over
prices and the business Of the country.
II the government confines itself to gold
and silver 1t Is to a greater or lesS
extent subject to the control of met
who own and control these two COM
modities. This is fact that Is beyond
dispute. The plenary power Of the
government over the currency ques-
ton is not confined to the one duty
OF promoting barter by system where
all other commodities are made ex-
changeable into the two of gold and
silver, but to promote the exchange Of
all commodities with each other. A
paper money does this as we'll as a mo
tallic currency.
One OF the amusing phases of the
campaign is that everything that hap
pens, or is going to happen, in the line
of the dreadful, is charged to the So
called free silver craze. Recently two
men In the city of Chicago committed
suicide. One was millionaire banker
and sound money advocate. and the
other a poor man and friend of the
white metal. The millionaire drowned
himself in Lake Michigan, and the poor
man shot himself in Lincoln park. The
rich mans suicide was caused by dys-
pepsia, inducing insomnia and aberra-
ton of the mind; the other by fit of
dependency. Notwithstanding the
verdict of the coroners jury to the con-
trary, the plutocratic papers announce
that the real cause of both deaths was
the agitation of the silver question.
The banker according to the theories
OF the plutocrats, went crazy because
he was likely to have to pay his debts
in 90 cent dollars, and the poor man
TOOK his own life because he had not
even the SO cent dollars.

made in the convention by those who
favored Mr.. Bryan's nomination con-
tanned any hint or allusion that further
fusion than that agreed upon by the
national convention was contemplated.
1t Is possible that Messrs. Washburne,
Reed and Rankin have taken more adj
vanced grounds on the situation than
Chairman Butler occupies, but 1t is
certain that a majority Of the execu-
tive committee will sustain this action
and it will meet with the hearty In
dorsement of the south and a large MA
jority of the populists in the west and
northwest. 1t is unfortunate, as the
committee says, that the Democrats
could not see their way clear to ac-
complish the withdrawal OF Sewall and
substitute Watson. AS it is the COM
mittee has perhaps pointed the only
way out of the difficulty and their ac-
ton will doubtless be supported and
adopted by all loyal Populists.

FREQ Silver Not q Cure.

Those financial doctors who think
that the free coinage of silver will be
a panacea for all our national ills are
very superficial in their observation of
the economic problems that are press
ing forward for solution at the present
time. Are the people who produce
the wealth of this country getting a
just share Of what they produce? Is
1t not fact that the forces Of nature
have been monopolized to such an ex-
tent that the laboring man can only
use them by the grace Of some trust or
combine? Then he is only permitted
to have enough Of the products of his
own labor to keep him in a condition
to continue his work, which is a bat
tie for life. On the other hand the
syndicate, trusts and combines, or any
other name they may assume, grow
immensely wealthy, and year by year,
the distance between the two classes
is frightening. What will be the re-
suit If this process is allowed to con-
tinue? 1t requires no philosopher to
tell that a change will have to be made.
We hope and believe that it yet can
be made peaceably by the ballot but
the time may come when it can't.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Flashes of Thought Inspired by Passing
Events.

The preamble to the Peoples party
platform declares that 1.-THE influence
of European money changers has been
more potent in shaping legislation
than the voice Of the American peo-
ple." While this charge is very bold,
its truth cannot be denied. Thousands
of millions of dollars in railroad stocks
and bonds, and other corporations IN
this country are held by British capital
lists, and in Congress and state legis-
latures paid lobbyists are kept to In
fiuence (?) friendly, and defeat adverse
legislation.
No intelligent person will deny that
millions of dollars are spent annually
to corrupt our law makers, our execu-
tives and the courts Of this country.
Political parties are usually divided
upon matters of public policy. AS a
result small minority holds the bal
ance of power. This is the leverage
upon which the lobby works. The
two parties divided upon question a
small fraction Of one party assisting
the other is able to enact such legisla-
ton as the lobbyists demand. Then
comes the power of the corporations,
trusts and other combines that assist
each other in securing special legisla-
ton. Both the tariff and silver CUES
tions are recent examples of how the
will OF the people is thwarted.
There are two remedies for this evil.
One is an aggregation of independent
voters-the larger the better-to coun-
teract the influence of the regular par
ty minority vote; and the other is di-
rect legislation. If this Independent
vote, representing protest from the
people against evil and corrupt legisla-
ton is large enough to check the influ-
ence of the lobby it is usually effective.
But the better plan would be by direct
legislation-a system which the Peo-
pies party demands. By this means
men vote upon issues without regard
to party. No party success is involved
in their vote and hence they are more
disposed to study political questions
from an Independent standpoint and
vote their honest convictions.
One of the recent cartoons of the
plutocratic press represents Uncle Sam
with a silver dollar in one hand and
a magic wand in the other, saying to
the people: See, children, touch
this money worth SO cents with this
wand-and, presto! Its value becomes
100 cents! The cartoon is wholly I'M
fair, inapplicable to the subject and
calculated to deceive. Every student
of the money question will make dis
tinction between the commercial val
lie of a dollar and Its legal value. The
magic wand represents the law and
invests the piece of silver with the
legal value of 100 cents, and authorizes
It as n medium of exchange and legal
tender in the payment of debts. Its
commercial value is only affected to
the extent of the increased demand for
it's use. The value of money is not in
herent in itself, necessarily, but as an
agent to facilitate commerce. The man
who finds a counterfeit ten dollar bill
may pay it to A, whom he owes that
amount; A may pay it to B. and B to
