MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Rose sydelrs London Bellies.


Rose Sydelps London Bellies big show,
with the original London and New York
cast, will be the attraction at the Port
land Theatre Friday and Saturday, May
s and 9. The programme offered is
long and varied one, inclu ding farce
comedy, high class vaudeville, and ex-
travaganza. The5 olio of specialties is
exceptionally stro ng, including such ar
fists as Campbell and Shepp, the emper-
ors of German Comedy, Kelly and St.
Clair, delineators of black face comedy,
and challenge soft shoe buck and wing
dancers, the eight bellies of the wheel,
Leo and Chapman in an original rural
gymnastic sketch, four Deelodnte swells.
six French Gaiety dancers, and Miss
Rose Sydell, the queen of burlesque. The
performance opens with "Widow Wymes
Reception" and closes with 1.-The Con-
binuous Show" introducing the entire
company in songs, dances and ma arches.
Sousa's Band.
Sousa's "King Cotton" scored an en-
thusiastic success on its first appearance
on the programme at Manhattan Beach.
When the leaders, baton was raised for
the opening bars there was expectancy
depicted in every face. and before the
last notes had time to die away the vast
audience broke forth into burst of
widest applause. Sousa repeated it, and
again it was ohscred by eager ha nds to
the echo. Like its many predecessors,
1t made a great hit. It is full of the
composers strong individuality, bub-
bling over with Infectious melodies, and
exquisite in rhythm. By many 1t is
pronounced the greatest march Sousa has
ever written, and what that means is
best understood when the immense pop
ularity of the Washington POST
s'High School Cadets, :" Liberty Bell"
and many others is considered. While
ID will never displace these it ranks just
another step higher in the musical devel-
opment Of the "March King"
John Philip Sousa will give two con-
inee and evening The news of his COM
Ing always arouses enthusiasm among
the thousands who have learned to look
upon his band as there representative or
ganization of its kind, and Sousa's
marches as the national marches of
America. He will be heard in grand
programme, and two gifted young artists
come as the soloists of the present tour,
Misses Myrta French and Minnie Tracey.
Sousa's kind offer to the children sand
schools, including the High Schools in
Cumberland county will be greatly ap-
preociated, and it will crowd the hall at
the matinee. The March King will play
"a number of his favorite mar ches. Get
seats at Sto ookbridge's.
The MinstreIs.
Rehearsals have been in progress for
some time for the production of modern
mipstrels under the auspices of the Gath
olic Literary and Debating Society. The
performance will take place at City Hall,
Tuesday evening, May 10Th. This enter
tainment will be something uniquesin the
minstrel line, none Of the worn-out feat
ures of the old time minstrel show being
retained. We predict crowded house OH
this occasion, and from whaG we know of
those taking part, have every reason to
believe that this will be the best amateur
minstrel performance ever given in Port
land.

Our Ticket.

There never has been better ticket,
taken as whole, placed before the
people of Thurston county for their
suffrages, than that nominated by
what the Republicans call I" the triple
alliance" the Peoples Convention
Tuesday night. 1t is from top to bot
tom composed of men of sterling
worth, selected with special reference
to fitness for the duties to be per-
formed by them.
No man in the county is better
equipped for the duties of State Sens-
tor than Thomas ]. Miller. He is .
man of marked ability, sound judg-
ment and pleasing address. He is en-
phatically man of the people, who
cannot be swayed from his duty by
corporate power. The same may be
said of DR.. Mitchell and J. G. Conine.
They are ideal men for Lawmakers
and will command respect in the pop
ular branch Of our State Legislature.
Chas. H. Aver, for Superior Judge,
is another candidate whose promise OF
future usefulness is conceded. He is
Q lawyer schooled under the highest
university course, man of acknowl-
edged integrity and marked industry.
Probably no man could have been
named for Sheriff who is more of a
universal favorite than Charley Bill
lings, and that it needs good man to
beat Mr.. CASTOR, we freely acknowl-
edge. That we have him is the belief
of the convention that named him for
that important Office as we'll as of many
goldbugs whose tongues have not been
tied down by the mandate of the
"powers that be-"
Space will not admit, at this time,
OF special reference to each of the can
didates, but in future issues of the
STANDARD we will give what we be-
lieve to be satisfactory reasons for af-
fixing the potent X after each of their
names.
Suffice it to say, for the present, that
there is not q candidate named by the
Peoples party who does not possess
the Jacksonian test for filling posi-
ton OF trust, Honesty and capa-
bility."

with such favor that I am greatly en-

secret now, l suppose, that l am pre-
pairing lecture on the political emer-
gency. You see | am almost forced
into that, for you won't listen to any
thing else nowadays. There is no tell
ing how much Of interest and value, |
might have to say on other themes, if
only you folks would hear me. But to
speak seriously, / am deeply interested
in the issues at stake now, and | would
like to speak word on the subject.
There are burning questions at the
root of present agitation and they de-
mand deep thought and conscientious
action. Whether or not have aught
of value to say, remains for my audi
ence to decide. But it's not safe for
me to enter upon these themes now.
I've already prolonged this interview
beyond the boundary line of your time
or mine"
One word more; isn't your elocu-
tionary work rather unique?
GAS far as l know, there is no other
woman in America doing just such
work and / can't name any man who
is; there are plenty of them who are
classifying. but | am telling legitimate
stories. My leading programme con-
sists of a single story told as one man
or woman would tell it to another.
But | must not detain you longer, and
so with many thanks for your call, I'll
wish you very good morning.

HERE'S ASSURANCE FOR YoU.-The
Republican Central Committee has
adopted a plan of apportionment of
subcommittee whose special duty it
shall be to persuade the Silver Re-
publicans to return to the &. o. p. and
place their necks within tho grip of
gold. The utter futility of such q
course did not seem to suggest itself
to these jealous leaders of what is
generally acknowledged to be a for
lorn hope. They do not appear to
fathom the depths of feeling which
control men actusted solely by princi-
pie. This over-confdence of the few
who have been wound up for cam
paign duty to tension which renders
actual conditions for the time obliv-
ious, was shown the other day, when
the subject of appointment of those
steering committees was under dis
cussion, and the Mark Hanna of the
Campaign Committee remarked:
4" It's hardly necessary, boys; you had
better leave the matter to me. 1 can
induce ninety per cent. of them to re-
turn to the fold" And let it be
borne in mind, this was said in all
earnestness, and with an evident be-
lief by the gentleman that he could
do all that he proposed. 1t is simply
ono of those abnormally developed
cases of individuality, occasionally
seen in social and political life. He
will realize in time, if he tackles the
Silver Republicans with his seductive
wiles, fact that he unfortunately has
not yet learned-that the people very
generally look at him through tho
small end of the spy-glass.

A Palpable Misstatement.

A headline in the Olympian allud-
ing to the vote in Maine claims that it
indicates Bryan is "Out OF the Race"
and in another column an account is
copied from the Associated Press dis
patches showing that his reception
everywhere is all ovation, unequslIed
in the political history Of the country.
If the vote of safe Republican State
is any indication of general results, as
is claimed, is not the phenomenal vote
of q safe Democratic State OF equal
dependence upon which to base FORE
cast? Is the vote in Maine 80 much
of q surprise as that of Arkansas?
Mr.. Bryan addressed at Lexington,
KY, Wednesday, fully 10000 people.
The account says that it took twenty.
five minutes for this vast host to file
past the nominee to the fair grounds,
and every one of them tried to Guido
his neighbor in cheering. A large
proportion of his audience was farmers,
as it has been everywhere, indicating
that this is q farmers and laboring
mans campaign, in which votes count
against the corporate power of wealth.
1t is quite evident that the wish 10
father to the thought when Republi-
can orators and goldbug newspapers
attempt to belittle the efforts of the
Hercules who is now wsging battle
with the Golden Giant. They cannot
successfully meet him in argument,
and relying upon the former effective
ness OF persistent lying, they attempt
to counteract the effects of Mr.. Bryan
mastery campaign by misstatements
of the effects of his vigorous work.
But the ghostly specter of defeat is
continually presented to their imagi-
nations. 1t will not down at their
bidding. And instead of the "silver
craze" As they call it, abating one jot
of its strength. it is constantly increas.
ing as the people realize the impor.
lance OF the issue that subordinates
all other considerations, and is leading

CHAIRMAN Faulkner of the Demo-
cratic Congressional committee says
Carlisle's letter is the most astounding
proposition he ever heard of and
wholly at variance with law. The
idea of redee ming silver certificates
with gold is preposter and
calculated to force another scandalous
bond issue. Carlisle's statement that
"under free coinage the govern ment
would be compelled to exchange gold
for silver dollars whenever demanded"
contemplates the entire reversal of the
established policy of the government
and is violation OF the law itself.
Faulkner burns Carlisle numerically
and corners the Secretary in every
paragraph.

IT costs the English owners Of the

minted and laid down at the San
Francisco mint ready for coming. The
government puts its stamp on it and

this government made him a present
OF. The cost of mining and bringing
to the mint one dollars worth of sill

Now, if it is right that the 40 cents

into ST., what is particularly wrong in
having SO cents worth OF silver bullion
taken to the same mint and coined

A Goldbug Boomerang.

Some time ago the STANDARD pub
lished an article from the London
Financial News, under the title that
had been given it in republication of
1.-THE Grip of Gold" in which was
plainly shown the effect that remone-
tization of silver in this country would
have upon the business of England
and the United States, respectively. 1t
was declared the duty OF England to
use every exertion to avoid such .
calamity as it would prove to the
business interests of that country,
while admitting that the result would
be corresponding benefit to Ameri-
can interests. This article was such
boomerang to the gold power, when
published on this side OF the water,
that the goldbug newspapers immed-
lately denounced it as q forgery, and
in the course of time the Oregonian
published what purported to be fac
simile of a letter from the editor of
the News, in which he stated that no
such article had appeared as editorial
opinion of that journal, which of
course left loophole of escape should
it be shown that the sentiments were
given place in another department of
that paper. 1t is now shown that the
article did appear in the Financial
Neps, with the quasi endorsement of
that journal, and the goldbugs stand
convicted of the attempt to subvert the
truth by subterfuge more contempti-
BILE than direct falsehood.
So the article as printed stands ae
an expression of positive English
sentiment deemed of sufficient i'm
portance and logical force to be given
place in one of the leading expon-
ents Of financial opinion of the Brit.
ish metropolis, the money center Of
the world.
