| i'm dispute between Venezuela and
British Guiana should open fair way
to consideration of the question of
damages which was the immediate
cause of the severance of diplomatic
! relations between Venezuela and Eng
! land.
This circumstance, while not weighty
in itself. is significant as indicating
the high regard held by both Venezuela
and Mexico for the favor and friendl;-
ness of the United States. 1t is. SO to
speak. a straw which shows that among
the leading southern republics there
exists a feeling of political kinship with
the republic of the United States that
augurs well for the future. 1t may be
many years before this feeling will have
occasion to confer direct benefit upon
us, but it is, in any event. a moral
resource of which Americans may
without undue vanity feel proud.
The uprising tendency to give vent to
our feelings by means of n campaign
poem will be firmly repressed.
The Result.
While at the hour of writing-o a.
m.-authentlc returns We're missing
from more than half of the 81 dis
trlcts in the city, the probabilities
seemed to point to victory for the
Democratic ticket by a narrow margin
This result while momentarily dis
couraging to honest Republicanism, as
appearing to indicate the possible sue
cess Of an unscrupuous atterlpt from
within the party to cause party disas-
ter, will have in the final outcome the
masses Of the party as To their real
friends. 1t takes no gift of clairvoy-
ance To forcsee n time, and that not
far remote. when hundreds OF Republi-
cans who We're yesterday led astray
by decciving counsel will awaken to
the full meaning of the disaster which
they have unwittmgly wrought, and
will curse the deliberate instruments of
their deception. The appeal yesterday
was made to prejudice, and prejudice
seems to have dominated. But after
the subsistence of prejudice will follow
the reaction toward sober reason, and
to this we safely and confidently ap-
peal.
1t is gratifying to remember that DUR
ing the recent campaign all the abuse
and personal vilification came from the
opposition. If the completed count
shall reveal Republican defeat it will
be a defeat with honor-a defeat which
will unerringly grow into ultimate vic
tory. 1t is possible to fool the people
for a time; but after the fooling will
come the awakening, and then there
will be just accounting. We feel surer
of nothing than that this wanton strik-
ing down Of a man personally esteemed
as is Colonel Ripple will yet result in
such q Strengthening of his hold upon
the people that from his hour of sacri-
flee on the altar of bigotry and private
malice will date his certain triumph.
In the meantime, The Tribune extends
to the Democratic beneficiaries of Re-
publican treachery the compliments of
the season, and hopes that they will
prove able to enter upon their official
duties with clear path toward honest
and capable administration, and with
out embarrassing obligations to the
treacherous abbettors of their success.
One result of the balloting will be to
throw a vast deal of second-h hand pre-
judice upon the market at dirt-cheap

The fact of the matter is that Sena-

enunciation of the Monroe doctrine by
congress. has all the arguments and all
the common sense on his side. The ad-

kwell understood by the country as sim

That is does not pay for theatrical folk
to get too gay is shown in the following
reminiscence OF Gus Pennoycr, an old
time Philadelphia actor, narrated in the
Pittsburg Times. He used to ;cll It as
follows: 1T was in 1916. when ! was call
boy at the Nashville theater of which
John Greene was manager. The play was
'Coriolanus. Two nCblc Romans came
on first One was Mark Smith, the other
was Alexander Welsh. Well. those f,l-
lows looked over the house. saw nothing
hut the familiar faces of the ushers, and
then Smith leaned over to the orchestra
leader and said. Lend me that fiddle The
fiddle was passed up. Smith, in his Roman
toga, started on Money Musk and
Welsh began a norrpipe that split the
boards wide open. just then u voice hit
my ear that sounded like the trump of
doom. II was old man Greene. and his
words were Ring down that curtain II
came down ami in all my years of ex-
perience ! never heard the like of his
tones as he addressed Smith and Welsh

tlemen. as manager, ! am well aware.
but think one OF them is to inquire what
the h. you mean by this" 'Well-ah-
there's nobody in the house. Mr.. Greene
began Smith. That | believe. is not
your affair retorted Green. You &c;
your salaries regularly. do you not!
Thank you for your kind assent. Tha; be-
ing the case. you are each fined a weeks
salary. Ring up the curtain. please
Then" said Mr.. Pennoyer. ~ saw the
greatest performance of 'Coriolanus' !

in to swell the receipts to $ll.oO."
HOW PLAYS ARE MADE:
Theatrical manager (brea.hessly)-Are
you busy?
Dramatist--NOt very.
"Well. everybody. is talking about
book called The Pastors Wooing,' and
] want a dramatiza ton of 1t right away.
Can you do it?''
'Dramatize The Pastors woong'?''
