by Olga NethersOie of the drama Car

Prosper Merimee's story. 1t is IN elato-
rate production and well acted, and its
only vulnerable point is apt to lie its saving
grace To a public which at this day is
paganly sympathetic with piights such
as was Jose's and wiles such as was Car

trail character every opportunity TO dis
plav the seductive wiles Of u biazen cour-
texan, and Miss Netteisole has seized the
opport,lnity with elaborated avidity. She
does all, and some will say little nloie.

Alter Moral s,aston. what2


There are several Cuban Developments
of Importance TO the American people that
now coincidently Come to light 1t as
reported, 10y way of Madrid and Havana,
that recently President Mckinley offered
to Spain the good office Of his Govern
ment ia mediation between the Queen
Regent and the Cuban republic. 1t also
is stated that the offer was met with thanks
and rejection, and a curt request TO eX-
ercise more diligence in preventing aid
from reaching the patriots from the United
States If the report be true, it is evice1t
that the President has begun the develop
ment of his Cuban policy by trying moral
suasion. in the first instance, and that IL
has failed of salutary effect. The next
movement in the matter is noted, in the
announcement that Special Commissioner
Day this week will receive his final in
structions and start for Havana, where
ne viii join Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, attempt
to investigate the torture aud murder
of DIR. Ricardo Ruiz, and retJrnin company
with the consul general about the first
OF May.
1t is very well that the investigation
should be hurried up If any light beyond
what we already have on that fiendish
crime is desired, it is best to get ii willie
the spauiards still hold Havana; because
they NAV have to leave there shortly, and
then there would be nobody TO hold TO az
count in that quarter. This is likely To
. happen in view of the approaching culIni-
nation Of the struggle in Cuba. Every
mail now brings news Of repeated military
successes achieved by the armies OF Tie
republic. Today we hear of the capture
and destruction of the important town Of
Bahia Honda, on the large bay of that
name, on the northern coast OF Pinar del
Rio. The raiGing and footing of the town
and Notifications of Beiucal, near Havana,
also is reported The Cuban spring cam
paign ORA WIS to a brilliant close. The paci-
fication of the island is nearly complete;
nut II Is pdNlllCdIch ny VIC NoD''u anu A"e
by the Spanish arms.
We feed almost enough confidence in the
current executive phenomena TO say, that
the period OF America n inacton in relation
to Cuba also draws TO a close. The President
has courteously offered mediation, and it
has been refused. Now he will fortify
himself with an early joint report from
Gen. Lee and Judge Day. After thathe will
do something, or we are sadly mistaken in
MIR estimate Of the Chief Magistrate.

War SUI Enough.

The news today from eastern Europe
offers additional evidence that the advance
of insurgents against the Turkish po-
sitiun OF Baltino, if not directly ordered
by the Greek authorities, was not under
taken without their knowledge The Gre
clan prime minister, Delyannis, told
newspaper correspondent that his country
could not afford TO keep 10000 men Oh
war footing indefinitely; and that remark
has been taken to mean that King George
feels he must fight now or never. so, IL
isnr,,i,ah bic that the movement was inspired
and planned to bring on war without Off
cial preliminaries. which would have in
cluded governmental answers TO Euro
pean notcs and protests innumerable- ne-
tails Of the operations around Grevena are

columns. A decisive engagement may lie

if IL should occur, some account of it viii

The situation in Crete remaius as Sc
rious as ever. The position of the Chris
tians is strengthened 10y repeated sue
ccsses, and the ships and few land forces
of the powers are hopclcssly inadequate
to prevent them. Renewed expostuiations
and arguments on the part of the consuis
have utterly failed TO induce the revoiu-
tionists To even consider the proposition

something for silver.

In amounting the three commissioners
under the act approved March 3, 1897, tor
the promotion OF international agreement
for himctallism, President Mckinley has
redeemed his promise to try to do some
thing for silver" and, il the conditions
of the time rendered international agree
ment more than a remote possibility, The
selections he has made for the service
womb appeal to the country as likely TO
further the object Even as things stand
the commission may accomplish something
in keeping the agitation before the world
of finance in America and Europe; but Tor
any concrete relief TO come from its mission
and labors we have little present hope.
At least. the President has been honest
aud manly in entrusting the effort 10
three gentlemen, not one of whom is un-
derstood to be an enemy of silver. Sena-
tor Wolcott's bimetallic views, as well as
his complete grasp of and ability 10 pre-
sent the subject, are too well known TO
require discussion. Gen. Paine is not ma
tionallv 40 well known, but if ii be true
that he is in agreement with the blme-
tallic opinions and conclusions of the late
Gen. Francis A Walker, as it is said he
is he is not a bad choice by any means;
because, personally, Gen Walker was
more radical in his binetallism than one
might think from a cursOry reading OF his
published thought. The ccommls-
Sioner. the Hon. Adlai f Stevenson. is an
honest. straightforward bimetallist, and
sterling Democrat For both of these quail
fications we are glad of his appointment,
and thankful to Mr.. Mckinley for their
recognition.
Actions like this will not abate the pCht-
icaI war which it is the duty and purpose
of the Democratic party and its eXponents
to wage upon the party of the President;
but they will accomplish a great deal IN
extracting bitterness from the struggle,
and in attracting 20 the Administration the
good will and assistance of Democracy,
in all things non-poIiucal which the Pres
ident may essay 10 do for the general wei
fare or honor of the nation.

Nathaniel Hartwjg Only TwO-thirds

Nathaniel Harbwig is only two-thirds OF
the real name of the young actor who
has been associated with Olga Nethersoie
all this season, and who scored decided
success at the Eafayette last night. His
full name is Nathaniel Hartwig -Baruch
and he is the sbnAof DR.. Simon Baruch
one of the best known among the Jewish
nbvsicians of New York. Mr. Baruch, or
Mr.. Hartwig, is of Southern birth, an
incident in his career which is occasionally
made plain In his speech. He is young
man, and when he says that for eight
wears he has been an actor, the fact is
difficult to reconcile with his youthful APP
pearance. He got on the stage, says the
New York Sun, while he was still in his
teens. but his fathers opposition to such
a career was founded on objections more
serious than his sons youth. He did not
approve of the stage at all, so the aspirant
had to make his way alone.

Our American Nile.

In a review of the flood visitation
throughout the Valley of the Mississippi
the current number or Bradstreet's pub
fishes seine sensible remarks. That jour
uaI regards the American Nile and its
management as proper subject for ma
tional concern, and the appointment of "a
competent commission to examine and
suggest u comprehensive scheme Of ini-
proyement and control, an immediate ne
t-csSity:
This commission should not be a mere
iuuketing affair, but should be made up
of the ablest engineers in the country.
As il stands, the costly leVee system, WITH
uumherleSS side-show schemes Tor con-
trolling that least controllable of all things
water IN a state of disturbance-is a
practicaI failure in Some States, and is
open TO Indictment in others only
tins week levees on opposite banks of the
stream were guarded To prevent their be-
ing cut by men rendered desperate by fear
of loss to themselves. AT one point the
channel OF the river was two miles wide,
while above il q crevasse had a1lo " ed the
river to cover tract OF country sixty
miles wide Something should be done TO
disarm the MiSsis sippi River, now a de ably
enemy, a nd make it, the Nile of America, a
power for good to human KIND along lts
banks. The yearly recurrence OF these
floods, rising, as ii seems likely this year,
TO the proportions OF a national calamity,
seems "a high price to pay for deDuding
the lands at the headwaters OF their forest
growth, some measure or the present
trouble being attributable to that source.
The situation in the great central
valley or the continent this year confronts
the nation with one Of the most serious
economic problems that it ever has been
called upon to face. Under existing con-
ditious the levec system is an endless chain
OF new expense and constantly recurring
danger, accompanied, and always to he
accompanied, with periodical disasters,
which must grow more and more frequent
as things stand No matter how arduous-
ly all elements, citizens, counties, States
aud the nation may cooperate to build a
system OF levecs high enough to be out OF
reach of the highest water of record, the
mighty river will fill its confined bed with
silt, aud the levees will have to be Gle.
finally before the next great flood.
Reforesiation of the vast districts North
and Northwest in time would reduce tht
evil and secure a more eQuabie flow but

generations whose life must pass before
reforestation could he complete enough

ble IL the settlers along the banks of the
Mississippi had been familiar with the art
of irrigation and had realized how great
a boon the annual overflow of the Nile has
ever been TO the Agriculture of Egypt, that
they might have accepted its fructifying
foundations and blessed instead of damn
ing them. But their ideas of overlooking
rivers were derived from Holland and its
dikes against the salt sea, and up went
the levees.
Whether settled national policy shall
demand reforestation and preservation of
the present system of flood protection;
or, possibly, new departure in utilizing
the American Nile as an irrigation ditch,
il is futile to discuss now. What W e need
to ascertain without unnecessary delay
is what can be done under the circuIn-
stances and conditions and the best way
10 do i'll To find that out ought to engage
the highest engineering, forestry and other
scientific ability, specialized in the req
uisite direction OF the country. We trust
that the President and the Congress will
not be backward in giving the matter early
and serious attention.
