ADJUSTMENTS.

From the fact that tragedian Thomas w.
Keene made Louis XII his opening play
for his first engagement at English's after
nine years absence, one may take 1t that
he put his best foot foremost. as Il were.
MIR. i<eene is always entertaining although
one may not always be sure whether he Is
giving comedy or tragedy. Mr.. Keene has
no moro magnetism than Henry Irving, and
If Irving had depended on magnetism his
American tours would never have yielded
him the immense fortune he has taken back
10 England after each tour. Irving had a
gorgeous mannerism that instantly invited
the hurIesquers and he became famous be-
cause he persisted in being as unintelligible
aus it was possible and still pretend to sanity.
III Tragedian keene could hit on some
unique mannerism. fame might open her
arms to him as she did to Irving. Louis XII
is staged with degree of splendor to make
any actor proud. and the supporting players
give a smooth and high-class performance.
Mr.. Keenes portrayal of tbe two-faced
Louis is most carefully, even laboriously,
handled, and at times he plays with such
dramatic intensity as to merit the applause
of an appreciative audience The cowardly
nature of the King, who even fears his own
shadow when he is left alone, Is not so well
brought out as the other star OF his royal
Highness. who unhesitatingly orders brave
men to the headsman when his soldiers and
guards are about him 10 iil him with cour-
age. AT times there come touches which
suggest a spark of something higher than
simple play-actinG; then again, the actor
seems to fail in his grasp of the character.
The tone of voice IL sure. but the action is
frequently inconsistent. In the quick changes
of temper Mr.. Kesne is In his element. 1T
is in the swiftly varying motives that he
stumbles. When Louis is made 10 pause In
the midst of some bloody plot bow
his head in reverence he hears
the AngeluS or say prayer at
the church door Immediately after playing
false TO Marie by ordering her lover way
laid, Mr.. Keene makes little more than
burlesque Of Louis. Again he hurlesques
the role during the great confusion scene.
Instead of revealing the murderous in
stincts OF Louis, who feels himself in the

the party will not make a mistake in be-
ing outspoken on this matter. But the last
Legislature made a splendid record, not
only in the passage of reform laws, but
also in reducing the expenditures of gov
eminent. This record should have a potent
influence ON the voters in the next cam
paign. Tariff legislation has resulted in
great benefit to the manufacturing inter-
ests of the gas belt and this fact also will
rebound to the strength of the party. The

About that Republican Love Feast.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
VIII you allow a humble private to sug-
gest to those who are to take part in the
love feast tomorrow that there are some
things they may do. but there are more
they must not do. They may renew their
allegiance TO Republicansim in all its moods
and lenses, and boast of what has already
been accomplished and rejoice in the pros
pect of even better things They may,
without doing any harm, talk of Cuba ana
Hawaii and China and all such, but they
must not countenance the crochet OF NOM
mating the Republican candidate for United
States senator by the State convention next
summer. We have at least seven men, any
one of whom will honor the State If elected,
but not one of the seven so looms above ms
fellows as to attract much more than To-
cal and personal following. We have no
Lincoln to pit against Douglas, or Morton
against Hendricks, yet we have several
who would be Morton's equal if the neces-
stiles of the situation should place equal
responsibilities upon them. The first thing
to do is to secure the Legislature, ana TINS
is to be no child's play Possibly in the
the seven may demonstrate his superior MT
ness for the office. If so, an adjourned
meeting of the summers convention, OF
special convention 10 meet after the eiec-
ton, would easily designate the man. Fer
sonalIy | would much prefer the selection
of candidate whether we have the Legis-
lature or not, by such a convention, TO
leaving it to the seventy-siX or more mem
beers OF the Legislature who may be elected
as Republicans. OF course. the love feast will
assume no authority on this subject. can
easily understand how the seven may desire
to have the agony over by an early nomi-
nation so they can devote their time to
private affairs, instead of stumpng the
State as a candidate. Let us have the
seven vying with each other as stumpers,
though two or three of them may not be
very remarkable outside their respective
counties Let the love feast confine itself
to its legitimate work. loving one another
and the party supremacy, but make no
movement towards a departure from prece-
dents. Y. Il. SEE.

who attended that meeting were exceeding
~ careful not to say anything and not 70

that they had any desire TO run the In

gentlemen who was there expressed II:
Indiana Republicans are a jealous lot of
citizens. and If they should get it into
their heads that the Republican congress-
men and Republican Oftice-holders down in
Washington were trying TO run things
back in the State they would take us by
the scruff of the neck and throw us out of
the window, fguratively speaking And /
can't say that ! would blame them. either.
The Indiana Republicans are qualified TO
run their own affairs without dictation
from the Washington crowd. and We KNOW
that fact thoroughly. 1t so happened, how
ever that each Republican member of Con-
gress and each Republican federal office
holder here had little knowledge of what
was going on in his particular neck OF
woods and we got together for the sole
purpose of exchanging political condolences.
If anybody had anything to impart he was
expected to contribute to the common fund
of information and that was all there was
of it. We wanted to get as full
an insight as we could into present con-
ditions in Indiana, and that, as take it,
is also the purpose of the love feast at
indianapolis. Our conference was simply
a preliminary love feast on small scale"
