GOOD THINGS TO CONE.
Brigham Booking Fine Attractions
for the Grand Opera House.

Topeka will have better attractions in
the theatrical line next season than last
season Mr.. E. 8. Brigham of St. Joe
Mo, says so, and as Mr.. Brigham books
for the Topeka houses he is in posi-
ton to know Mr.. Brigham is in To-
peka today visiting his brother, r. S.
Brigham, and on Thursday he will
start for New York city to book for the
coming sea son.
Mr.. Brigham has already booked two
of Hoyt's farces THE Contented Wo-
man and The Black sheep" and
Frohman's company in the great New
York success, Under the Red Robe
for the Grand in this city. He is max
ing an effort to secure Roland Reed as
the opening attraction for the Grand
and believes that arrangements can be
made to have Reed open the season in
Topeka early in September. This means
house packed to the roof.
Everything points to a better season
for Topeka" said Mr.. Brigham today
Business conditions in general are bet
ter, and strong point is the fact that
the ma ajOTity Of the first-class attrac-
tions which visited Topeka last season
played to good houses. I have also en-
Iarged nlJ& booking list from eight to Is
houses, and this will help me in secur-
ing better attractions
Il expect to secure Mansfield for one
or more nights again this season, and
also Sol Smith Russell and Kathryn
Kidder. I intend to make every effort
to secure the best attractions that visit
the west for the Topeka theater goers,
the me- jority of cases appreciate good
attractions. I think can book DeWoIf
Hopper and Francis Wilson for the
coming season as well as many other
prominent comic opera stars.
Many of the better attractions are
slow about leaving the east, and will
not consent to book before the opening
Of the season. This may throw the
booking Of some of the better attrac-
tons late, but I think good attractions
can be supplied Topeka theater goers
from the middle of September through
the season.
"Of course a man has to take poor as
well as good attractions in making
bookings. It's nonsense to talk about
man letting all cheap attractions go
It's just like the dry goods business or
any other business, you have to have
cheap attra ctions for cheap people. Sen
sational melodramas and Uncle Toms
Ca n shows take with some people, and
those are the kind of attractions they
want
Mr.. Brigham expects to complete the
majority of the coming seasons book
ings by August 1, and will be in New
York city up to that time

Chairman Kurtz and others may delay

also the assembling of the convention,

The conference between Senator Han

it was announced that the senator
would not consent to the withdrawal
of Major Dick as a candidate for cam

Among those in the conference room
with Senator Hanna were Congressman
Grosvenor, State Senator James A. Gar

They were together over an hour and

credit for sincerity, we say that he
should have avoided an address which
completely stultifies him and his posi-
ton.
The logic of it is memorable. If this
International commercial conference is
a move for the common good Of hui
manity, and if the interests Of the ma
lions are substantially identical, then
the widest and freest intercourse be-
tween them, resulting in extended mar
kets for all, is the most desirable
thing. If that be true, however. pro-
lection is a relic of the worst and most
ignorant age of the world. If, on the
other hand, protection be a good thing,
if one of the effects which Mr.. Nc
Kinley attributes to 1t be true, then in
ternational commerce ought to be
frowned upon, and the extension Of
markets outside of our own is treason
to American interests. Either Mr.. Nc
Kinley's honesty in his speech to these
delegates is much below par, or his
mental limitations are much more Sc
we're than we have supposed them
to be-

ciple would be business injury and a
financial loss.
Surely the people, who are all Of us,
are entitled to as strict a consideration
of their interests. The conduct Of gov
eminent is essentially in its details, a
business affair. Books and accounts
have to be kept straight and the provi-
sions of laws executed by agents Of the
public. When a man who has demon
strated his capacity to do this we'll is
discharged in order that an inexperi-
enced person may be put in his place,
the wrong done is not merely to the in
dividual, but to all the people, in their
capacity as partners in the concern.
The view Of politics which regards the
offices as "spoils," as only incidentally
connected with the peoples work and
as prizes to be bestowed upon success
full politicians, is view that is equally
hostile to common sense and good gov
eminent. 1t is a thousand pities that
the sentiment which supports the OPP
posite theory in the case of the old SOL
der has not yet become universal.
What the law owes to him because of
past services, it owes to the entire body
Of our citizens in exactly similar cases
where employees have no military rec
ord. The organization of a civil service
on political lines and it's reorganization
with every political change is treason
to the people. Sooner or later, they will
understand this. and appreciate so well
the effect upon their pockets as tax
payers that the rule embodied in the
particular statute in question, and held
firmly by the court, will be applied to
our whole public service without excep-
ton and without question.

AT THE THEATERS.

Primrose & Vests minstrels drew a large
audience at the Metropolitan opera house last
night indicating that the people are inclined
10 welcome black-face entertainment once
year, especially when they feel assured of a
nrst-class article in that line. And Primrose
q West have always justified good expecta-
TONS The performance last night proved no
exception to the rule. 1t was bright clean
and clever, and as mover as any minstrel
show can possibly be. The "chestnuts' were
few in number and of pardonable quality
the singing exceptionally good and the olio
entertaining.
The first part-always the most enjoyable
feature-was enlivened by the funny stories
and songs of George H. Primrose, George
Wilson and Jimmie Wall. 1t also served to
Introduce several ballads sung by Lewis
Pritzkow, Charles Kent and w. H. Window
The concerted singing was excellent, the
voices blending with unusual smoothness
The hit of the first part was Primrose's song
Hot Time in Old Town Tonight"
The olio opened with a cake walk con-
Quoted after the most approved and cere-
monious style. The next act was the unique
feature of the bill, speciality by Jerome and
Alexis, acrobatic contortionists, who concealed
their identity human beings under the
guises of a frog and an alligator and per-
formed all sorts of queer and comical antics
George Wilson contributed one of his funny
monologues, the Ben Mowalt Trio gave an
astonishing exhibition of club swinging, and
Messrs.~ Hoe, Wall and Walters extracted
melodies and harmones from all sorts of
utensils, not ordinarily supposed to secrete
any music.
The performance concluded with the illu-
minated and spectacular march designated on
the bill as 1.-The Phantom Guards" The ex-
hibition is under the personal direction and
leadership of w. H. West.
Tonight's performance will close the engage
ment here of Primrose West.
ga Run on the Bank" now on it's first trans
continental tour, will be presented at the
Grand opera house for two performances,
commencing Wednesday matinee, June 9. This
announcement means that gilt-edged farce
comedy organization is coming to this city.
Long before Ward and Vokes forsook the
vaudeville they were regarded as amongst
the best teams" in the variety business,
and when they made the step from vaudeville
to starring honors, the reputation thus made
was upheld by the policy of having nothing
but the best and plenty of it. The result
has been seen through two years of I'M
paralleled success which they have enjoyed
as stars. For this, the third year of "a Run
on the Bank, they are surrounded by a
high class company of twenty-six ladies and
gentlemen, the pick of farce comedy artists.
Saturday matinee Of this week will be
the medium of welcoming back to the Metro
pohtan stage the n-Neill company in that
charming. successful comedy 1.-THE Anna
zons." Mr.. Pinero, the English dramatist, in
this play has shown himself to be master
of terse and delightful dialogue. The man
ner in which John B. Maher, as the IRA
tional, nervous Count de Grival, juggles with
English idioms and distorts proverbs is a
caution.

JAPAN BLUFFING.
Trying to Intimidate the Govern
ment of Hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 3-The
steamship Mariposa arrived from Sgd
ney, via Honolulu, this morning with
advices from the Hawaiian capital,
supplemental to those brought by
steamship Peru. On May "a, the day the
Peru left the island the government
announced that it's answer to Japans
demands had been sent to the Japa-
nese minister. Minister Shimamura is
not at all satisfied with the reply made
by the Hawaiian foreign office. In an
interview upon the subject he said: 81
do not consider what L have received
to be an answer to my request for par
ticularS, and [ will make another at
tempt to secure one. Japan asks moth
ing unreasonable. She wants justice
and fairness, nothing else. If she can
not get 1t, well, l do not know what
will follow. The action of the Ha-
waiian government in refusing land
Ing to people who, Japan believed
after investigation made before their
departure, were eligible to land was a
gross violation Of the treaty. Now L
have asked for an explanation for rea-
sons Tor this governments action, and
l am told that the position taken by
the Hawaiian government is that i'm
migration laws are reasonable and
that the administration had impartial
ly enforced them. My government
tells me to get reasonable excuse for
this. I do not think my government is
acting arbitrarily in this matter which
involves the honor of the nation
THE United States has been advised
of the affairs and probably knows the
status Of the case as we'll as we do,
and If the government at Washington
believes the position taken by Japan
Is right, according to international law,
there would be no interference On
the other hand, if our position is arbi-
trary, any nation may interfere.
Japan understands that there is a tacit
understanding that the United States
has an interest here; that, while not
assuming the proportions of a pro-
tectorate, she stands in nature of a
godmother to the island republic, but
officials of the United States govern
ment are too well versed in the custom
OF dealing with questions of interna-
tlonal law to say that Japan is wrong.
II she is right, or that Hawaii is right.
II she is wrong. My Instructions in the
matter are plain. If 1 cannot get a
reasonable answer to my request I
may go home and perhaps some one
else will have better success. If T
Withdraw you know what will follow.
l hope that it will not reach that
point"
