ELoCuTION AND DELsARTE.
Another Interesting Lecture b!
Prof. L.. ID. Warman.

Edward B. Warman gave the third OF his
lectures on elocution and delsarte in its va
rious auxiliary branches under the auspices
of the st. Paul Teachers association in the
assembly hall OF the Central high school last
evening before a good-sized audience. The
subject was "The True and False in Elocu-
tion." Mr.. Warman's address was thorough
ly enjoyed by the audience present, which
was largely composed of teachers and stu
dents OF elocution, and was a thoroughly
discriminating one. Mr.. Warman placed the
art of elocution on high plane. holding that
1t should be made less dramatic and more
conventional in It's execution. Mr.. Warman
was staunch supporter Of the delsartian
principle that the highest capacity OF the hu-
man voice was made possible only by the
highest cultivation of the human body. Some
of the most eminent elocutiOnsts of the cur
rent century practiced the imitation of the
elements OF the scene they were giving, and
often sacrificed nature for the sake OF effect.
because, as a rule, 1t pleased the audience.
But this was not true art The confoundlng
Of elocution with the imitation of the sltua-
ton had done much to depreciate art as il
was very prevalent with professionals and Is
taught in many of the large schools. Del
sarte would hardly recognize some OF the
hobbies" which are now popular under the
name of the principles which he had laid
down so well In his lifetime. 1t was we'll

THEIR GREAT DEFAULT.

The work Of the conference commit
tee on the budget submitted to it by
the city comptroller joins with the
work of the charter commission and
the difficulties it finds In it's path to
proclaim in louder tones than ever the
reSentatives in the state legislature
Wherever we turn in the working for
economy in city expenditure we are
confronted by some rigid requirement
of the law that cannot be altered or
amended without legislative action.
The transition from government by
legislature to home rule Is not COM
pleted, it is only just begun. In the
meantime, we are living and acting
under the surviving system by which
the people of each city are strictly for
hidden to adjust their own affairs &C
cording to their pleasure and interest,
but are referred at biennial intervals
to the sovereign power of the state
legislature. We have fought one local
battle after another; we have had re-
trenchment committees and council in
vestigations and charter commission
debates; and we still find that, In all
essential particulars, we run up again
tive inaction.
The quality of our city delegations
to the state legislature has been and
still IS the great obstacle to reform
The retrenchment committee that in
vestigated fully our city finances and
system Of government three years ago
explained to the people that legislative
action would be necessary before very
much economy could be effected They
pointed out how savings could be &C
complished here and there in minor
matters, but big items of unnecessary
expenditure were all protected by some
state law that must be amended or re-
pealed. Notwithstanding that, the
members Of the legislature from St.
Paul have done practically nothing. No
steps were taken to consolidate the
city and county governments, meas
ure demanded by every consideration
of economy and Of facilitation Of pub
lie business. Nothing was done to re-
duce the eXorbitant salaries allotted to
certain positions in the city service
and fortified by legislative act. A
suffering little salary reduction bill
was, indeed, put through, but 1t has
been set aside by the courts, as its
trainers probably knew and possibly
intended that it should be. At any
rate, it was so drawn as to make it
visibly special legislation, which Is for
hidden by the state constitution. So
the charter commission, when 1t meets,
finds itself in grave doubt as to how
far it can proceed in reconstructing
certain portions of the charter without
legislative assent. So the conference
committee and the city council, when
they come to consider the cutting down
Of expenses, find themselves forbidden
by decisions Of the court resting upon
statutes of the state of Minnesota.
While we have been laboring with
public spirit, and not wholly without
success, to pay off our debts, cut down
expenses and conform our municipal
government to the changed conditions
OF the times, our representative in the
legislature have been absolutely I'M
