LONDON, December 18.-The
z..mual banquet Of the Actors
Hsnsyolent Fund at the Hotel
metropolis tonight was the oc.
ssGion OF a notable public de-
nenstration of good feeling to-
wsrd the United States Embas-
ndor, Thomas +. Bayard. The
=nssts who sat down to the ban
rnet numbered $50 actors and
aAmatists, among them being
George Alexander, s. B. Bancroft,
Kaward O'Connor Terry and
Menry Arthur Jones. Sir Francis
senne presided and at his right
mt Mr.. Bayard.
The United States ambassador
seemed to have lost the depressed
asr which he wore this morning,
and chatted with his neigh bors
M the table and smiled and
salked with great animation.
Those who anticipated that Mr..
&syard's appearance IN public at
shis critical time of the relations
Aesween the United States and
Great Britain would produce an
cypress on of the public feeling
na Venezuela that might have
ySoyed embarrassing to him were
disappointed. In the reception
rsom before dinner there was
Nsthing unusual in the reception
accorded him.
After dinner, when the time
sSme for Sir Francis Jeune TO
ssDpose the toast to the Actors
Esnevolent Fund" he said in the
sp1rse of his speech that he hoped
mo only rivalry between England
mad America would be histri-
Bsic rivalry and that there never
ucald be serious differences be-
Sween the two nations, which
wsre, after all, brothers. This
sentiment was greeted with loud
,ssd prolonged sheers by all the
,xsmpany. The cheering was re-
1awed when Sir Francis added
hat Mr.. Bayard was worthy
representative of u great country.
Sir Edward Arnold, in propos-
mg the Stage and the Drama"
zaid he laughed at the idea of any
&Gerence betweeen England and
America. and Comyngs Carr
apasted the friends across the sea.
Mr.. Bayard, upon rising to re-
,Yond, was greeted with perfect
aRmult of applause and his toast
wHs drunk with cheers. Mr..
hyard was perceptibly and deep
by moved. He said: Tonight
va are on common ground; there
ID no sea between us. There are
sme things it is impossible to
isyide."
BY way Of illustration he re-
ssated the Bible story founded on
No judgment of Solomon over the
EKispute of two women, both OF
zhom claimed to be the mother of
me same child. He then pro-
seded: Gentlemen, it cannot
he. They cannot be divided.

,sd of the heart, and of a COM
mon ancestry. l do not think
mat their friendship will ever be
permitted to die. 1 will answer

Ssyond the sea-
These inferential references to
SSe current affairs we're greeted

greatest possible enthusiasm.

read the Omaha platform carefully he
will find that, four years ago, right in
the midst Of what the Republicans are SO
fond of boasting as good times, the Peo-
pies Party had the genius to perceive
and the patriotism to declare the inevita-
BILE results of continued Republican and
Democratic misrule, and every succeed
ing day adds proof of the wisdom and
foresight of the men who gave us that
platform.
Take away the money furnished by the
financial pirates Of this country to sup

gress and senate They have proved full
ly the peers of their fellows there, ''low-
land or highland, far or near" faithful
and able in the discharge of their duties.
They have proved themselves credit to
any party.
Judging from the character of the rep
resentatives which the Republicans of
Minnesota have been sending to our ma
tional legislature in the past one would
scarcely think that the party was over
burdened with high talent. Those who
have proved themselves above mediocre
ty can be counted on the fingers of one
hand. Let us have done then with the
ridiculous claim that the Republican
party contains the greatest proportion Of
intelligence or patriotism.

THE STARS.

(The following lines were written by Mr..
Hale but g. short time before his death,
which occurred at Roxbury, Oct. 6, 1895. Mr..
Hale was the youngest son Of Rev. Edward
Everett Hale, and was graduated from Har-
ward in 1881:
1 lay at my ease in my little boat,
Fast moored to the shore Of the pond,
And looked up through the trees that sway
ed in the breeze
At Gods own sky beyond.
And I thought Of the want and the sin in
the world,
And the pain and grief they bring,
And I marveled at God for spreading
abroad,
Evening came creeping over the earth,
And the sky grew dim and gray,
And faded from sight; and grumbled at
For stealing my sky away.
Then out of the dark just speck Of a face
Peeped forth from its window bars;
had not thought of the stars!
There are millions q loving thoughts and
All d ripe for awaasninr.
That never would stnrf from The worlds
But for sorrow aae saasrins.

Everybody too is under tribute to this
'unearned increment Of the banker. The
manufacturer, the jobber, and the re-
taller, all add this interest on credit to
their goods, as a part Of the expense in
distributing them; and the consumer
pays the whole bill when he buys the
goods. A part Of his earnings are taken
from him to make the national banks
wealthy. The people create wealth for
bankers credit which has no actual value
and the people give value to that credit
by using it. It is an 'unearned incre-
ment,' and hereafter / shall join forces
with our friend, the editor, on the money

APRIL WEATHER

The transition of winter to spring has
been accomplished during the month of
April by gradual increase of tempera-
ture, beginning with mean of 10 degrees
and closing with go degrees, or nearly sum-
mer heat. The change was gradual and
quite uniform, with no cold spells, but on
the 18th unusual heat prevailed, causing
the extremes in temperature to be most
marked and to range from Is degrees above
on the Sd to 81 above on the 18th, both of
which broke all previous April records since
the establishment of the weather buerau in
this city. The mean temperature was 48
degrees, or degrees warmer than the nor
NAL. The first eight days of the month
had temperatures below freezing, but all
the rest were above. The greatest daily
range was 80 degrees on the 18th, and the
least only degrees on the LIST.
The number of rainy days was II, or Z
more than the normal, and the total pre-
cipitation unusually excessive, being 5.12
inches, or 2.86 inches greater than usual,
and according to the Fort Smelling record
more than has fallen during any previous
April for 60 years, except in 1874, with
SIG inches; 1849, with 5.62 inches, and 1888
with $40 inches. The moisture excess has
thoroughly saturated the top soil, partially
refilled our lakes and materially increased
the reserve moisture supply held in the sub
soil. There was sleet and snow storm
on the list, followed by spell of clear, cool
weather, until the 9Th and 9th, when an
other snow storm occurred. The total
snowfall, unmelted, measured IA inches
After the last snow storm rain fell nearly
every day, but at no time was 1t exces-
sive, and in consequence full benefits have
been received by the thirsty soil, which
rapidly absorbed it, and no washouts or
dangerous floods have resulted in this vi
cinity. The greatest 24-hour rainfall was
0.80 of an inch, occurring on the 28th.
There were eight clear days, which is
the normal number, and the excess of
cloudinesS occurred by there being three
more than the usual number OF cloudy
days taken from those usually partly cloudy
and numbering II, but this month only g.
The prevailing winds were easterly and
their maximum velocity 46 miles on the
10Th.
There were thunderstorms on the 18th,
18th, 18th, 23d, 25th, 9th, 2Sth, goth, and
hail fell on the 18th, without doing any
damage of consequence. An aurora was OBJ
served on the 21st.

ABILITY VERSUS SINCERITY.

Editor Representative:
In letter written by Mr.. Choate in
late number Of your paper is we'll Illus
trated feeling which seems to pervade
great majority of Republicans-an as
sumption Of superiority, or ability" as
Mr.. Choate says. Now have no de-
sire to make any personal application or
allusion here, as have no doubt that
Mr.. Choate is an intelligent and we'll
meaning gentleman; but fear he has i'm
bibed some false ideas during his sojourn
Qife long, he says,) in the Republican
party. He says, my criticism of the Re-
publican party is not SO much on ac-
count of its lack of ability, as lack of
sincerity and courage, while the POpu-
lists are sincere and courageous enough,
but lack ability" What kind of ability
does Mr.. Choate prefer? Does he admire
the ability that schemes and plots to
bleed the useful classes, so that a plutoc-
racy may be gorged to repletion? Does
he admire the ability that has enabled
commercial brigands to wiring hundreds
of millions from the toilers of this coun-
try without rendering any equivalent?
Or has he an admiration of the ability of
about all Of the Republican political
leaders who dare not declare what their
convictions are on political affairs until
their party machine fOrmulates the pol
icy to which they so shamefully cringe?
In short, does he admire any ability that
lacks sincerity and courage, which he
says the Republican party does, and if
you take these two qualities out of any
Z liability" does it not leave a pretty
worthless .residum, and is it not about all
that Benedict Arnold lacked of being a
good citizen?
Commercial and political traders and
boodlers have impudently assumed that
they represent about all the brains and
patriotism" of the country and the peo-
pie have kept admiring the ability thus
displayed till the country is about ready
to go into the hands of receiver We
are ready to admit that the Peoples Par
ty does not possess much Of the ability
indicated here and that the Republican
party owns very large percentage of it

WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
IF THE PEOPLE DO NOT ELECT A
PRESIDENT.

The Times Herald some time ago
pointed out possible result of the COM
ing presidential election should the sill
verites revolt from both the national
parties and set up candidate of their
own. That result would be that neither
of the parties might be able to secure
majority of the electors, and the election
of a president would devolve upon the
house of representatives., while the cleo
ton of a vice president would devolve
upon the senate.
The recent vote in the house on the
free silver bill shows quite conclusively
how the lines might be drawn in case
the election was thrown into the house.
It will be remembered that in such an
event each state has one vote, which is
cast by a majority of the representatives
of the state, and that it requires major
ity of the states to elect. AS there are As
states, % would be necessary to choice.
Now a close consideration CT the recent
vote in connection with party politics
Of the representatives shows that there
are twenty-five states represented by a
majority of Republicans favorable to
sound money, and eleven with majority
of Republicans who are favorable to free
coinage. There are eleven states having
a majority representation of Democrats
and these are favorable to free silver
There is one state, Maryland, that is
equally divided, have three Republicans
and three Democrats.
If the issue then, were narrowed to the
money question, there would be twenty
two votes cast for the sound money can
didate and twenty-five for the free coin
age candidate, or possibly this vote might
be divided between the Democratic can
didate and the Populist, while the Mary.
land vote would be a blank, and thus
there would be a deadlock.
Meantime the senate would proceed tc
elect vice president from the two high.
est of those receiving electoral votes
This election is not made by states, but
each senator has one vote, so that a ma.
| jority of the senators voting would de.
| termine the election, two-thirds of the
senators constituting quorum.
Now, should the house fail to elect q
president before the 4th of March, the
| vice president elected by the senate
| would become president.
While all this seems remote enough al
| the present moment, it is by no mean:
| merely chimerical. It can very easily

what kind of government would they
run if they had full control? They would
act like kings of old, while their interiors
would be beasts of burden, working for
few cents per day and still on election
day they will retire to the booths and
vote for the Office seekers that are pre-
rogative Of monopoly. l would like to
see men face about, be honest and true
hearted and fan into a blaze the smoul-
dering embers of their liberties. l would
like to see them do away with the idea
of voting by inheritance. Allow me to
say it is an impecunious conception to
lose your votes. Wake up, We snoring

cause they always favored free coinage

If the silver forces can be united on one
