Great political parties have al,
ways been the outcome of popula,
resentment Of public abuses. The
popnlist party had its origin in a
widespread desire for Office with.
out the incentive Of higher motives
to inspire the promoters. That it
should earn the respect of the
great mass of voters was never a
probability. The lack of general
confidence OF the people early be-
came apparent and the party lead
ers despaired. The desire for Of:
flee when once contracted is like a
fatal disease. As disease oeadens
the energies. the desire for Office
deadens the noble sentiments of the
heart. The people early tired of
the vagaries and delusive pledges

of the popnlist platform and the
party suffered an early decline.
The desire for Office, however, con-
tinued to burn in the bosom of the
chronic office seeker. The demo
cratic party also despaired of the
burden Of many years of blunder-
ing. There were no bonds of
union in party policy, but there
was n bond OF sympathy in the
common desire for SpOilS for party
leaders. This common desire
brought the party together i'll an
indissolvablc compact and the eX-
preston of that mind came from
Chicago in the choice of BRYAN for
president. The people now have
an emergency candidate that en-
bodies the forlornc hope of broken

Ne pressure oil tne prcNalilnS
hard times has worked many re-
forms in private affairs The rcck-
less business methods and eNtrava
giant habits of our earlier days
have been accommodated to the
circumstances Of our conditions OF
lite. The farmers in many in
stances have borne the double bur.
den OF paying the current expenses
and the debts that remained of
Years Of eXtravagant living. II
speaks well for the energy of the
people and for the possibilities of a
great country that this is fact.
In older districts the people had
practiccd conservative business
habits. In the natural course of
business the people who had lived
within their incomes should hive
been more fortunately situated
than the farmer of the new north
west. who had unlimited credit.
As n rule the people of other states
are suffering from the general ia
dustrial prostration more than the
people of this interior region.
There are variety of causes for
this unfortunate condition. The
awakened energies of the farmer OF
this country would overcome the
worst Of obstacles to success in any
pursuit. The virgin soil of the
country is the most fertile to be
found in all the favored districts.
Ultimate success will reward the
toiling masses of this country and
their reward will be wealth There
are. however, great hindrances to
our material progress that stub.
bornly resist all efforts at reform.
Chief among the drawbacks with
which we must contend is official
extravaganza. Our public officers
are paid eXorb,tant salaries and
fees, The sentiment of the people
is universally favorable to reform
in this direction. but the officials
are fortified behind constitutional
provisions, which the people can
not nssail with immediate and pos.
tive results. These salaries and
fees are paid by the poor men who
are giving the best Of their lives to
save their families from present
want and their homes from the
grasp Of the Insurer in the very
near future. Many of The mistakes
of the past have been corrected,
Int there is no mite to be sac
rificed for official extravaganza.
1t will take tour years 20 remove
this menace 10 our future success.
The constitutional amendments
that will reduce official salaries
should be proposed by the private
citizens in the primaries and fol-
lowed to the legislative halls. This
reform should come with the vol
untarv sacrifices to make the bur
elcns lighter. AS heavy as our
taxes are the public debts are in
ereasing every year. An Increase
Of taxes would mean private disas-
ter. Continued increase of public
debts means public calamity

!: MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

Rhea has perhaps never appeared in any
other character that appeals so strongly
to popular sympathy as does Josephine,
in which role she was seen at the Audi
torium last night in pursuance of her brief
engagement in this city. Alfred Haven,
the dramatist, and Mime. Rhea, the inter-
prefer. have idealized the character of Jo-
sephine. AS an actress Rhea has keen
appreciation of the artistic value of the
empress, and as a woman she has deep
sympathy for her, and altogether she
brings to the character an affection that
breathes in every shade of her delineation.
Her embodiment of the character is regal
and beautiful There are perhaps other
actresses who might invest royal per-
sonage with greater authority, but there
is no one who can combine sovereign dig
nifty, courtly grace and womanly kindness
as Rhea can. In the furnishings of her
art there is no article of apparal or adorn-
ment that becomes her better than her
crown.
Mr.. Bresee has not yet grasped the fun
significance of Napoleon. While his per-
formance has many points of excellence.
it lacks confidence and Imperialism. The
man who plays Napoleon must not be
modest. He must be assertive without be-
ing demonstrative: he must be seif-centered
almost to the degree of stoicism. Mr.. Bre-
see is still a young actor. but he has
talent and energy and should grow rapidly
toward a very forcIble realization of this
great part. Mime. Rhea is fortunate in
regaining the support of Mr.. Francoeur.
not only because of his general efficiency.
but because of his particularly effective i'm
personation of Talleyrand. a part which
has never been satisfactorily played since
he left it after Rhea's first production of
this play.
Josephine will be repeated this after
noon, and at the conclusion of the play
Rhea Will hold a brief reception in the tea
room to meet some OF her numerous Kan
sas City friends. The engagement will
