JAMES O'NEILI..

Mr.. JameE O'NeiN, in a new romanuc
play. Does that not remind one Of the
haicyon days OF the old Union Square

created q new romantic part almost
every week? Although some years
have passed since that time, they have
lef, no marring impression upon the
youthful spirit of James O'NeilPs act

is as fascinating as evar simply because
his imperson5tor is as brilliant as Of

profit and the public's satisfaction in
their magnificent production "On the

IL Is a Bad Showing.

The Bradstreet's summary of fall
ures for the year 1895 is not pleasant
showing-the country Is not recovering
from the panic of 1898 at the pace that
was predicted by those who claim to
be authority in all that relates to finan-
clad and industrial conditions. The Off
cial figures show that, in 1895, the fall
ures were larger than in 1894, both in
number and in the total amount of
money involved
The failures for 1895 reach a total of
more than thirteen thousand. this be-
ing the largest number ever reported,
except for the year 1893 Disaster hit
every section of the country-New En-
gland furnished it's share Of failures,
the West makes an excellent showing
as compared with the Middle states.
The newspapers are giving generous
space to the financial record for last
account for the untoward figures of
1895. These are the newspapers that
were loud in their prediction OF good
times just as soon as the Sherman
silver bill was repealed by congress.
They knew that the purchase
provision was the cause of all the trou-
ble-prosperity was going TO come in
on a run just as soon as congress. in
the extra session. stopped the monthly
purchases of silver.
These prophets have had time, plenty
of 1t. No part of their prophecy has
come true. The year 1895 was a little
worse than 1894, precisely as silver's
champions predicted It would be. be-
cause the industrial world cannot stand
the constant decline in prices of all
commodities and ali products as meas
ured by the constantly increasing value
of the single standard, the always
scarcer-growing gold dollar
When this thing has gone on long
enough. the goldbugs will weary of the
epithets they have so constantly flung;
we shall hear less about the "free-sil-
yer lunatics" by and by. Every pre-
dictlon of the goldDugs has turned on.
TO be untrue up to date; the effort OF
the goldbug press now is to mystify the
public as to the causes for continued
bad times. The masses of the Ameri-
can people will know when they have
been fooled long enough; when the sue
cession Of bad seasons has worn the
people out. the so-called lunatics will
get their inning.

Ii Is Crumbli nQ.

After the death of Lincoln, the states
subscribed to fund for the building
of an enduring memorial over his
grave in the cemetery at Springfield.
The fund reached s20S. 200; the me-
mortal which was completed in 1874
was pronounced to be satisfactory in
an artistic way. 1t now appears that
the monument is a shabby affair. 1t
has stood twenty-one years, it is
crumbling and the state authorities In
Illinois have concluded that to spend
money on Its restoration is wasteful
Shame to tell, the monument is a
fraud. Instead of a substantial struc-
ture in solid blocks of Granite. it ap-
pears that 1t is cheap affair in brick,
with a veneer, not more than three
inches thick, of granite. The brick
work is rapidly decaying, so that the
thin slabs of stone cannot be kept in
place.
The talk at Springfield is as cheap as
is the ruined material in the Lincoln
monument. The governor of Illinois
makes the suggestion that the stand
ing rubbish be pulled down. He then
figures that 1t will cost so-and-so much
foot for so-and-so many cubic feet
of granite construction, and he esti-
mates that the state can put up a
good-enough monument for about
$50, 900.
II would be passing strange were
the state of Illinois to permit the grave
of Lincoln to be marked by an insig-
nifcant memorial. The first one was
manifestly a robbery. Springfield per-
mitted 1t; the least Illinois should dc
would be to make the monument as
enduring as 1t ought to have been
made out of the original fund of $685.

In a comprehensive review of sport
ing matters in 1895 the Chicago Chroni-
Gle asserts that there have been a
growth and enthusiasm never before
known" consequent upon "a distinct
tendency toward refinement in all
branches of sport" That Is proba-
bly, true with the exception of pugiiism.
in which, If there is any such distinct
tendency, IL is not visible TO the naked
eye. Pugilism seems to be in its sere
and yellow leaf. and there are few peo-
pie who regret the fact.
AS for horse running, the Chronicle
thinks that il, too, has suffered a de-
cline. THE difficulty with horse rae
ing" 1t says, lis not that the sport it
self is less popular than ever. but the
public has Stunned 1t on account of the
way II has been managed But the
same authority observes that horse
men and sportsmen, as well as a large
share of the community, look for a re-
vival of racing in popular hands. when
the purely professional management
shall have been driven out of the bust
ness" And further the Chronicle notes
that 1.-The blow which fell upon racing
| has done much to revive the interest in
| trotting. During the year more good
| trotters and PAGERS were shown than
ever before. and a striking feature of
the trotting meetings was the uniform
beauty of the horses entered. 1t is not
many years ago that there seemed to
be as many types of horses at a trot-
| ting meeting as there were horses. Now

speaking or voting. When making an
address, members talk directly to their
opponents, instead of at them through
the speaker. The proceedings In the
senate are usually dull, except when
that body is exercising its pecuRlar
privilege of trying divorce cases. Wneh
a sensational suit, involving prominent
persons, is on, however. the senate gall
leries are always crowded. 1t Is con-
s.dered quite the thing for society wo-
men to attend these divorce trials. and
the rush for admission is great.
The most important business coming
before the present session is the Mani
toba school question. Until 1890 there
were two kinds of public schools in the
province of Manitoba, one for Catholics
and one for Professionals. This system
was done away by the Manitoba legis-
lature. The Catholic minority then Pc
titioned the privy council to restore the
separate school system, and in a COM
munication from the governor general
sent a year ago the Manitoba legisia-
ture was ordered to rescind its action
and restore the parochial schools. The
legislature refused to do any such
thing. and there has been good deal
of wild talk ever since of revolution
and secession. The members of the cab
met are at odds upon the question. Up
on the issuing of the governor generals
minister of justice, and Mr.. Patterson
minister of the militia, resigned. If the
government insists on the restoration
of parochial schools 1t is thought quite
probable that defeat will follow.

IN THAT FUTURE GOLDEN AGE

Our nineteenth century (we're told) Is
learning's greatest day.
The sciences and higher cults all have II
their own way.
Yes. 1t is true. but though the times are
good, and rising fast,
They aren't the slightest patch upon the
glories of the past.
Look at the days when ancient Rome
ruled all the nations round,
An age when men for deeds of might in
battle were renowned;
When Caesar had lead pipe cinch' on
honors great and small,
And laid the whole world at his feet by
tlu dint of nerve and "Gaul."
When men conversed most freely in indi-
rect discourse,
And used nine different geritives to give
their language force;
And laughed Ger all the jokelets that
Horace used to write.
Without the aid of any "trot" and read
his odes at sight
so though they say we're vetter and will
'" leave a brighter name,
The Romnas without any tail could get
~ fe there just the same"
They knew by heart the works II took us
centuries to find,
And yet they tell us we're ahead and Cic-
~ ero behind.
My only, consolation is that many a
youthful bard
Will read our books some cycles hence
and find them just as hard.
I'd work far better were 1 sure some
, post-historic sage
Would get "balled up" on Browning In
that future golden age.

The value of the corn lost in a single
valley-that of the Usage river, in Mis-
souri-during the present flood is estima-
ted at 100000. The amount of the loss
Is partly accounted for the phenomenal
nal yield of corn this year and partly by
the fact that the rainfall in that section
was phenomenal, but this is only one Of
many instances which go to show that
one of this country's great economic
problems in the immediate future will be
the control OF its rivers and the preven-
tion of floods which must grow more dis
astrous as the country becomes more pop
ulous and more closely titled.
