The attractions of the week which are

patronage, the Lenten season seeming

portunity for the people to develop the
characters they assume. Next to the

of cleverness is the Joel Gates Of James

The only character In the large caste
that is really unsatisfactory is the Jo-
siah Blake of Mr.. Garland, which is
played in a weak, sketchy way, that Is
entirely unreal and therefore uncon-
yincing. To bring out the dramatic con-
trast between the soft. easy-going farm
er and the active. pushing. sanguire
spe culator, a much greater display of
force and nervous energy Is required
than seems possible with Mr.. Garland.
1t is little singular that Mr.. Herne has
failed to repair this weak spot in an
otherwise faultless presentation.

HUMAN NATURE AND PRIZE
FIGHTS

Man is an animal. An animal is
brute. Ergo. man is brute. Hence
ali men having any of the brute in
stinct in their composition have taken an
interest in yesterdays prize fight at
Carson City. Appealing to their higher
faculties-their reason, their moral and
religious instincts-they are above such
things And, if from these heights they
look down upon their own brutal ma
ture that likes to take in the details Of
prize fight. they are ashamed of it.
BY the same token, if they were passing
along the street and a dog fight should
be suddenly developed. they would
gather with the crowd and crane their
necks to see it out, or they would at
least turn their heads to get a glimpse
of it, and they would go on for quite a
space wondering which dog was likely
to whip. That also would be a conces-
sion to the brute instinct. Ard of that
they would be ashamed in their better
moments.
Mankind was created in the image
Of God, and his estate is only little be-
low that of the angels So much we get
from holy writ.
Man is a descendant of the hairy ape
and the ape was the descendant of the
mollusk. So says scierce.
If we draw line somewhere between
the teachings of science and religion
we shall be able to diagnose the case
of man interested in a prize fight, or
craning his neck to see one dog chew
another. 1t is man the descendant of
the ape that does this thirg. 1t is man
in the image of his maker who is asham-
ed of it.
Evolution does not move forward in
. straight line. Its progress is marked
by a series of advances and retrogres-
sions-a series of vibrations, 80 to
speak-and while every forward swing
takes the standard little further, every
backward swing is still far behind the
advance. We swing forward to a noble
intellectually, lofty moral purpose,
we swing backward to-a prize fight.
Such is>human nature in itsvarying and
puzz,ing phases.
But the race Is moving forward for
Ill that.
How many centuries is it since the
wealth and fashion of Rome gathered to
feast its eyes upon the gladiatorial con-
test, and the cruel matrons turned down
their thumbs. condemning the van
quished to death? How long since the
chief glories of the race were snatched
from the battlefield at the cost of ines
Unable anguish and slaughter? Who
are the men whom the nations delight
to honor today? They are those who
have won eminence in martial strife.
and it is only within recent years that
some better plan% than resort to arms
has been suggested for the settlement
Of disputes between nations.
So, after all, the advance guard of
civilization is moving forward, although
In a spasmodic way. The mere fact that
men have come to a realizing sense of

DE LoME's TROUBLES

The Spanish minister, De LONE, is de-
spondent. The sweet condolences he
enjoyed and shared with the late Secre-'
tary Olney have suffered a rude shock.
The new secretary, in discussing with
Senior De LONE the policy pursued by
Spain toward American citizens, arrest
ed by the Spanish authorities in Cuba,
has taken occasion to outline his policy
upon principles very suggestive of the
course that Consul-General Lee recon-
mended to Mr.. Cleveland. The minis
ter was given to understand that Amer
lean citizens arrested without arms
must have speedy civil trial. with all
the rights accorded upon such trial to
civil Offenders, and that the state de-
partment would not overlook any treat
ment by Spain of American suspects.
other than, or different from. the treat
ment which she accords to British sub
jects that happen to fall under like sus-
picion. But the quality that Senor De
LONE found most Objectionable in the
diplomacy of Secretary Sherman was
its emphasis. Shall" and must" were
the words of limitation employed by the
secretary in referring to the infiiction of
Spanish penalties. This new policy, so
very unlike the tolerance that sweet
ened his intercourse with Mr.. Olney, has
caused the minister to remark that he
