AT THE THEATERS.

An Irish play without a British red coat
is always welcome, and such play is "The
Irish Artist" In which Chauncey Olcott ap-
peared at the Metropolitan opera house last
night. The play affords full scope for the
development of the Irish nature as it is in
times of peace, instead of exhibiting it. in
that inflamed and rebeIlious condition that
the sight of British soldier always pro-
vokes in Ireland. THE Irish Artist" Is es-
sentialIy faithfully Irish, which means that
it is human, for 1t could not reflect the Celtic
nature and at the same time distort human
nature. In other words, genuine Irishman
cannot conceal nor contain himself. The
drama Is the joint work Of Augustus Pitou
and George H. Jessop. 1t may be said in
passing that Mr.. Pitou, under whose manage
ment Mr.. Olcott is playing embodies the raro
combination of manager and artist. Many
managers view the stage and all connected
with 1t through the key hole Of the box Of
fee. Mr.. Pitou's range Of vision is wider
and his sympathies broader and deeper. An
artist by nature, he not only finds congenial
employment in writing for the stage. but
recognizes the absolute right Of the public to
demand that none but competent players shall
be employed to present the drama True
Mr.. Pitou is not the only manager who uses
discretion In selecting his cast, but the num-
Der is SO small that any man belonging to 1t
is entitled to distinction.
These commendatory observations regarding
the company selected to support Mr.. Of
colt come first because 1t was this feature
of the performance that surprised the local
theater-goers last night. Mr. Olcott him
self was not exactly a surprise, for his sweet
and musical tenor and graceful bearing are
pleasantly remembered here. Yet from a
histrionic standpoint Mr.. Olcott, too, ex-
ceeded expectations. His acting has notice
ably improved since his last visit here. He
is freer, easier and more spontaneous in word
and action, manifesting In every scene that
Improvement which every vigorous student
who feels that his art is the most serious
business Of his life, should achieve. OF Mr..
Olcott's songs, most Of which are original
their melody cannot be told in words. They
are simple and sweet, and simply and sweet
ly sung.

party Of individualism because 1t per-
mits the widest range Of activity and
imposes on the citizen the largest meas
ure of responsibility, increasing by re-
action his self dependence.
1t was the democratic spirit that re-
VOTED from England. 1t was a Demo-
crat who drew the declaration of in
dependence. He had already estab-
lished religious liberty and abolished
the law of primogeniture in his state
1t was he who drew and forced the
adoption of the bill of rights embodied
IN the first ten amendments. 1t was
democracy that put into the ordinance
OF l7S7 for the government of the
Northwest territory the provision that
slavery should never exist in it. It
was democracy that defeated the pc
tition. supported by ex-President Will
liam Henry Harrison, for the suspen-
sion Of that ordinance. 1t was the de-
mecracy in those who sought freedom
/ from kingly rule in the wilds of Amer
mocracy, the common school, and
fined the town that failed to provide
one. In that most material element OF
freedom, the right of free exchange of
zen, the spirit of democracy, whatever
the performance of the party bearing
its name, would remove all restrictions.
In the other and equally important
matter OF the medium by which those
exchanges might be made, the de-
mocracy, when itself, and not making
trading stock of principles for Elusive
chances OF victory, has always stood
FOR an honest and a sound currency.
Today this spirit finds its embodiment
only in the National Democratic party
in this nation. 1t alone is the progress
sive party of the nation
Save for the short crusade made by
the Republican party in the abolition
of slavery it has shown itself the le-
Ultimate inheritor of Federalism and
Whiggism, and represents today, as
they represented, the other concept of
government, the collectivist, which
constantly seeks, by one specious pre-
text or another, to restrict the liberty
or the citizen and transmute it into
power in the state. In nation and state
and municipality it assumes to regulate
and license, to restrict and direct the
activities of the citizen. It follows the
injunction Of Hamilton to attach the
wealthy to the state, because the com
mon people cannot be trusted to guard
it. In trade it denies the elemental
right Of free exchange. In finance it
assumes for the government the func-
ton Of providing the people with their
medium of exchange. 1t represents
whatever there is of retrogression in
human conditions. It's logic tends in
evitably back to absolutism, whether
it be that of monarch or the more
dangerous one of a majority inspired
with monarchism.

tention OF the voter to it's obvious pur-
pose. That purpose is to prevent him
from considering the scandalous reve-
lations that have already come to light
concerning the operations Of the Re-
publicans in Ramsey county. There is
a gang" indeed; but the head center
of it will be found in the offices now
occupied by Republican INSIDERS Let
the people look to it. Last spring this
same Infamous lie was directed against
whom st. Paul can find no citizens Of
higher moral worth, more absolute po-
litical independence, or greater public
merit. Then as now the object was to
forestall attack by falsehood. But the
game can, we think they will discover,
be played once too often. The bloody
shirt won a good many elections. 1t
also lost good many before Republi-
Call uididSSIS cOutQ get their stupid
following to abandon it. The gang
issue is making it's way to the same
contamination. When that hoary fic-
ton is called from the rest of the tomb
to do duty once more in circumstances
that invest 1t with singular and un-
qualified absurdity, the voter, seeing
the game. and taking one disgusted
glance at the ancient scarecrow, will be
first amused and then angry. Then, as
the heeler once said, che gets up and

guished incapables who are making an

AN INFAMOUS SANDER.

1t is not often that we are called upon
to answer a SANDER so infamous and
so gratuitous as recent editorial ar
ticle in the Buffalo Times This paper
states that Grand Army men "are ap-
prehensive lest they be treated at the
national encampment to be held in
this city next year as they were in ST.
Paul last month" 1t goes on to state
that many OF the visitors to st. Paul
were charged exorbitant prices, and
amplifies and emphasizes the original
falsehood.
We do not need to say to our own
people, nor to any Of those whom we
had the pleasure to entertain during
the encampment week, that the above
accusation is absolutely without one
word of foundation in fact. On the
contrary, it was a common remark
among those who were present at the
time that never, perhaps, in the whole
history of Grand Army meetings had
there been an occasion so entirely free
from the abuse in question. Notwith-
standing the great demand made upon
our resources and accommodations,
there was room at all time
for large additional number Of guests.
and the prices charged were more than
moderate from highest to lowest. In
deed, a singular and unusual incident
of the Grand Army meeting was the
utter absence Of this particular offense
Not even those who make business Of
following such meetings about the
country for what they can pick up
were permitted to fleece the unwary
here. For every visitor therelwas pro-
vided such accommodation as he de-
sired at a cost which he himself, in
every instance, admitted to be reason
able beyond expectation.
We have made no boast of this, be-
cause 1t was only fulfilling an obliga-

praise. At the risk OF being invidious 1t mus.
be said that the strongest characterization
was contributed by Henry Meredith, whose
portrayal Of Cormac Cronin, the supposed
father Of Maurice, was an admirable piece
OF acting, absolutely free from suspicion
of theatric artifce or self-consciousness. Such
performances make one feel that actors are
rare.
Paul Gilmore was excellent in the migrate
full role of young Edmund Dean, Luke Mar
tin impaired rich flavor to the character
of Jerry Sweeney. Georgia Busby gave a
sympathetic and refined impersonation CT
Kate Malone" and Kittic Coleman's Widow
Blake was refreshingly spontaneous and
hearty.
A company of experienced and capable
players appeared here earey last season in
Paul Potters dramatization of Du Maurier's
"Trilby." The company scored a distinct
and pronounced failure. The same organiza-
ton returned near the close of the season
and tried again. The failure was simply
emphasized in spite of the press agent, who
did the best he could.
Another company produced the same play
at the Grand opera house last night, and
scored a pronounced success. Why? Be-
cause the players were adapted in a measure
" inc cHafdcterS. MISS marion tray looks

ers assumed these roles here last season.
but they failed to interest. The actress who
played Trilby did not look the character
and the actor who essayed Svengali could not
act the part, Mr.. Colville, for that matter,
Is not an ideal Svengal His acting is al
ways intelligent and intense when the sit
uat1on demands it. but there Is a touch of
the conventional, a Renaissance or sugges-
ton of the old clothes dealer, that detracts
occasionally from the unique and undeniable
dignity of Du Maurier's creation. But his
performance was satisfactory in the main.
Marion Gray is of the true Trilby mould.
Her features are large and clearly defined;
their expression gentle and confding. She
has good figure graceful carriage and
pleasing voice. Miss Gray is also an actress.
The combination is necessarily gratifying.
The drama was creditably presented, in
spite of the occasional lack of appreciation
on the part Of the boys in the gallery. Hyp-
notism Is a trife beyond their ken, and they
were disposed to be restless while Trilby
was going to sleep under Svengalis magic
passes.
