ALMOST PROFESSIONALS.

The Star does not want to encourage
or foster too much the sometimes very
apparent and quite distasteful custom
of local "bouquet throwing" or mutual
admiration. This is likely to become
manifest and rampant anywhere dur
ing season of amateur theatricals.
There is always at these periods the
alluring danger of giving over to eX-
aggerated pride following fulsome
flattery. But as has been frequently
remarked in other premises, "the sit
uation here is different" In every
isolated community extraordinary at
tention is paid to signs of ability for
singing or acting and unusual effort
is made for development of latent tai
ent. As only the best is ever brought
from beyond the pent-up confines and
as those who journey abroad are keen
to see the first quality, a high local
standard is established. This then de-
bars from the ranks of the home pro-
fessionals all mediocre form. Those
thus chosen on merit alone strive TO
please and to progress and develop
themselves. The situation is the same
here as it was years agone in Salt
Lake City and in San Francisco Those
places were set off from the world and
had perforce to make their own opera
and their own drama. These two
places have graduated more prefes-
SIGNALS for the stage than any other
pair of towns in the United States.
BY circumstances their amateurs be-
came professionals in all but designa-
ton. 1t is much the same here with
the careful selection and the painstak-
ing preparation. Performances of the
very best character are to be expected
from the local artists and it does not
require any concession to personnel
to commend what has been done
lately.

\ BABY KING.

Very little has been published about
the boy king of Spain. Of course the
Government of that country and its
rich and distant colonies, including
Cuba and the PHILIPPINES, is in the
hands of the Queen Regent and her
counsellors. But the child of ten is
a most important parsonage and 20
him there must be given scrupulously
all the attention and consideration
and Difference due the prospective oc-
cupant of the throne. Some of the
sayings of this baby-monarch have
been secured by a correspondent At
the court city and the stories are odd
and peculiar. Alphonso NH has ac-
tually been begging to be allowed to
accompany his troops to Cuba. He
addressed a departing division and re-
cited to them: Soldiers, my grief is
that l cannot go with you. In some
happier time | will make tour of my
distant dominions. My people will
not then misunderstood me. l COM
nit my honor to your keeping" He
was very like a boy when he inquired
of household dignitary if the war
would continue until he became
man. Baby Kings and Queens have
not been infrequent in the old world.
Many of them have found the lot even
nnhappier than is the prospect for lit
tie Alphonso NH.

A suaINIER GIRL,s DRINK.

Next to ice cream and herself the
summer girl loves ice cream soda. Ice
cream soda is ire cream soda the
country over; it is one of those things
that is the same today, tomorrow and
forever. The health department of
Washington has had it analysed by the
city chemist. 1t cannot be said that
the analysis makes one desire to have
two glasses in succession. The analysis
showed that the soda ice cream con-
tains 1906 per cent of Solids as fol-
lows: Butter fat. per cent; mineral
matter, 1.03 per cent; protocols, of 80
per cent; sugar, 26.7O per cent. 1t was
Favored with pineapple. A sample of
pineapple favor:ng. boiled down. was
found to contain water, sugar and
ethyl butrate. 1t was mostly water
and sugar, there being as much of the
latter as will stay in solution. Ethyl
butrate is a decoction made by distil-
ling rancid butter with alcohol and
sulphuric acid. A very little ethyl bu-
trate will scent an entire house with
the odor of pineapples. To make the
syrup yellow, a dash OF anallne was
added. The quantity was so small that
it was called by the chemists "a trace"
The dye is one of the products of the
gas office, and is made by the distilla-
ton of coal oil A half-pint of water
completed the delicious compound. The
water is frothy by reason of the fact
that it is charged under 100 pounds of
pressure with carbonic acid gas.
Chemists may analyze and health de-
partments declare that ice cream soda
is unhealthy, but the sweet summer
girl will continue to take it so often
as opportunity offers. And the bad
effects will not be noticed, if ever, I'M

veloped into chaperon of unknown

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

The first lie started about Mr. Bryan
was that he was in the pay of the sill
yer men. This lie was chaperoned by
Senator Thurston until he found that
the character of his charge was so
thoroughly bad that even he had to
send it adrift. The other lie is that
Mr.. Bryan. as editor of the Omaha
World Herald. was opposed to the free
coinage of silver.
Mr.. G. NJ. Hitchcock. the publisher
of the World-H Herald. editorially denies
the story in the following terms:
Two falsehoods concerning the
Herald and Mr.. Bryan are being
so widely circulated and innocently
published that I ask as a matter of
fairness this correction.
"One falsehood is the pretense that
Mr.. Bryan was connected with the
World-H Herald in 1893, at the time that
this newspaper opposed free coinage
at the present ratio. Mr. Bryan did
not become editor of the World-Herald
until September. 1894, and at that time
the World-Herald openly reversed its
former policy and came out for free
coinage at the present ratio.
THE second falsehood is in attribut-
ing the following language to the
World-Herald, whereas, in point of
fact, it originated with the New York
Sun and was quoted from the New
York Sun by the World-Herald:
Everyone who hes money at his
disposal can protect himself against
loss through free silver by converting
his money into land, houses and mer-

OFFENSIVE PARTNERSHIP.

When it is said that federal en-
ployees cannot contribute to campaign
funds under threat of dismissal it is
carrying civil service reform too far;
it is carrying it so far that it ceases to
be civil service reform and becomes
tyranny That departments should not
be permitted to be turned into Hobbies
and a rendezvous for agents fer par
ties, is right and proper; and if any
government employee feels that he IS
called upon to go forth and plead for
one set of political principles or an
other, to the neglect of his duties, it is
proper that he should give up his po
sition. On this subject the Washing
ton Post has these very sensible COM
ments:
These clerks are not slaves, as we
understand the case. They are en-
ployed to perform certain duties, and
in doing that with fidelity and intelli-
gence, they fulfill their contract with
the government. To say that they
shall not do this or that outside of
Office hours would be tyrannical and
odfous. The clerical employees are not
expected or required to surrender their
litical convictions They are not ex-
pected to degenerate into mere ma
chines-soulless instruments of drudg-
cry, the vassals of a horde of petty
despots. They are men, citizens, free
agents. voters. sovereigns, just as
rightfully as their superiors in Office
are. Nothing was said when year
or so ago. more than two hundred of
Mr. Cleveland's appointees went from
Washington and from all parts Of the
state to the Democratic convention in
Ohio, and carried that body for the
gold standard advocated by the presi-
dent Nothing was said, either last
year or this, when Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet officers went ;nto Kentucky,

using their official place and power to
influence the action of the Democratic
party. Nothing was said last month,
when officers in high place under the
administration focked to Chicago and
recruited the forces assembled there
for the purpose of throttling the voice
and defeating the will of the majority.
Why, then, should anything be said
now because a few clerks choose to
devote a portion of their own time to
helping the campaign committee of
the party to which they belong?
If it is permissible for cabinet officers
to indulge in politics, why is it not
for lesser lights? What is sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander.

without regard to the feelings of those
who have been circulating it so freely
and with such patriotic glee. What a
hard hearted man he must be; and no
douot he will justify himself in his
course by putting forward the sorry
excuse that he did it in the interests of
truth and honor aloae. But one thing
he never can do: that is to make the
enemies of Mr.. Bryan and the cause

M'KINLEY ADVOCATES NpKINLEY
ISM.

On all occasions possible Major Nc
Kinley advocates McKinleyism. This
is natural, but was hardly to be ex-
pected. Every time a delegation or
association calls upon him he regales
it with a long dissertation on the bene-
fits of high tariff. When a delegation
of potters called upon him the other
day he told them that in 1882 the peo-
pie were so busy with work that they
gave little attention to politics. They
were not so busy that year that they
could not give enough attention to poll
tics to reject McKinleyism. If that
ism carried with it the blessings Major
Mckinley would have them now think
it did, they themselves failed to re-
alize them. If the Republican party
had been at all sanguine as to the
blessings Of McKinleyism. as McKin-
ley himself seems to be, it would not
have been so particular to declare in
it's platform that it was not pledged
to any particular tariff schedules.
A man cannot but love his own
child, and so Mckinley loves McKin-

tariff show that he still is very DESTROYS
of substituting that question for the
paramount one of free silver. 1t can
not be done. If free silver is the men
ace he and The Republican leaders say
it is, then all other questions must of
necessity be secondary to it; for, ac-
cording 10 them, free silver means
universal destruction of all business,
and in the face of the threat of It no
business can prosper. Major McKin-
ley's continual attempts to dodge it
are very strong evidence that he has
little faith in the evils predicted in the
event Of free silver.
If the country realizes that McKin-
ley is advocating McKinleyism, which
he is. then it will turn to him bigger
ana broader back than it did in 1892
to the ism that bears his name.
