There is reason to fear that Scotch plays
have been put on the stage a little too late
to share in the Juror created by the novels
of which they are dramatzations. The pub
lie has grown a little tired of reading
Scotch dialect and will hardly be likely to
listen to 1t patiently at the theater espe-
cially when the actors but poorly initiate
the genuine Highland speech. Stage people
seldom give any sort of dialect correctly
and are likely to miss the mark widely in
attempting the Scotch burr In fact, the
reports from the Little Minister" which
is comparatively mild in the matter of dia-
lect, are to the effect that it is almost un-
ineligible as spoken, and when extended
through three four acts is very tire
some So far from being a help in carry
ing the play through it is a hindrance, and
yet the distinctive character of the play, as
Of the book, is given to it largely by the
peculiar vernacular used. But Scotch dia-
lect is too harsh and contains too many
strange words to hold more than a passing
interest for the English-speaking world
and it looks as if that interest, so general

appeared.

> TROUBLES AT HOME.

Those papers in Germany which have de-
clared that it seems necessary for the pow
ers in Europe to unite in giving the
United States drubbng to teach us hui
mility could not have weighed their words.
We are troubling no European nation. We
have kept aoof from all their entangle-
ments. We are discussing in diplomatic
manner with Spain the situation in Cuba
because Cuba is more to us than to Spain.
We have issued no manifesto, not even a
protest against the rehabilitation of Tur-
key. We are minding our own affairs,
which just now are very prosperous. All the
grievance Germany can have is that in our
new tariff we have offset the export bounty
which the German government pays upon
sugar by imposing an additional duty equal
to the bounty This has been done to put
Germany on an equality with other COM
petitors. Germany has disseminated
against our meat products but we do not
ask other nations to join us in making war
upon that empire punishment.
Those papers which seem so anxious to
humble us by uniting all Europe to make
war upon us seem not to remember one
thing, which is that in the United States
there are a third as many people either
of German birth or German extraction as
there are Germans in that empire These
people no longer hold allegiance to the war
Emperor, but they hold fatherland in af-
fectionate remembrance. Half Germany is
bound to the people of German blood and
customs by the strong ties of kindred
Thousands of families are halved between
the two countries. The thrifty law-respect-
ing, family-loving Germans are always
welcomed to the United States as immi-
grants. When those bellicose editors take
time to consider this matter they will stack
their arms
Besides, Germany has grave troubles of
her own. Unless the war Emperor is mere
ly talking his aim is to rule Germany as
a divinely appointed king who can do no
wrong and who is responsible for his acts
to God alone. That liberty country loving
people reverence law and will be slow to
resist the encroachments of the Emperor
but already the masses are organizing
against his pretensions and to resist his
demands. The number of those opposing the
Emperor is increasing in the national Leg
islature in every succeeding election. 1t is
not impossible that the different factions
hostile to the pretensions and exactions of
the Emperor may constitute a majority
after the next election. If the EN-
peror is believer in the heresy
of the divine right of kings he will set
aside the constitutional and representative
features of the German empire. He is
building up an army and navy so essen
tial TO absolute rule and he has already
ignored the action of the national legis-
lature in refusing to vote him enormous
amounts of money to increase his naval
power. So long as Germany, ruler and peo-
pie. have such grave troubles of their own
the latter will be in no temper to make
fratricidal war upon Germans in the
United States.

the year 1896 exceeded the expenditure of
the same class for the year 1895 by $1OS,-

1t is claimed, however, by the present
administration, that it has expended more
money for permanent Improvements than

publican administration, and refers to the
improvements in the fire and health depart

to the $50. 600 it expended for the improve
paid for the extension of the health de-
partment. But, my friends, $4,000 of the
amount expended for these two purposes
was borrowed money, for which bonds have
been issued at 4 per cent. per annum $780,
$50 of which bonds are yet unpaid. The
two items of expenditure for permanent inn
provement in the fire and health depart
ments in 1886 amount to $S7,014.44, $1,000 of
which was borrowed money. 1t expended
for these two purposes, out of the revenue

WANT THE STABLE MOVED.
commodore" Higgins Heads "a Fiji
feenth Wnrd delegation.

Commodore" Higgins and delegation of
about twenty citizens of the Fifteenth ward
were present at a meeting of the Council
committee on public health last night.
Messrs. Moffett. Mahoney and Shaffer con-
stitute the committee. They had UP for con-
sideration the "Commodores" ordinance,
which is intended to compel the Indianap-
oils Sanitary Company to move its garbage
wagon stable out of the city. Mr.. Higgins
presented the reasons why the stable ought
to be abolished. The committee also heard
complaints from Thomas McCarty and
other residents, including Mrs John Faber
and five or six other ladies who were in
favor of having thegstable removed. They
said the odor from lthes$tables was, almost
unbearable as well as unhealthful. After
ward the committee listened to S. Z. Rauh,
president of the company, who explained
that the Board of Health had frequently
visited the stables without finding cause for
complaint. The committee will meet again
next Wednesday night, when decision will
be reached with regard to the ordinance.
After the committee from the Fifteenth
ward filed out a number of plumbers were
questioned with regard to the mooted ordi-
nance, which provides for the appointment
of plumbing Inspector. No action was TAX
en- on this topic. 1t will also be further dis
cuSSed next Wednesday.
