In my opinion that platform is still be-

cepted by them at the next national elec-

these is the silver question. and that will

represented Ohio in the senate in earli-
er times to Joseph Benson Foraker was
a pathetic fall; on to Hanna it verges
on the ridiculous. Mr.. Sherman is a
ing sentiment in the senate, typical
member of the CLUB" but at least
he has a large measure of ability and
at worst has narrowly escaped being
statesman of high rank. No one can
accuse Mr.. Hanna of this last. 1t is the
club idea and not the deliberative body
that appeals to the Honorable Marcus.
1t is significant of how far such an
idea obtains, that the man who, under
the Mckinley administration, might
have appointed himself to any position
he desired has passed over honors to
be won at foreign courts and at the
head of government departments to
have his name posted for membership
in the nations club. The hacker of the
Mckinley venture. the Napoleon of the
Mckinley campaign, will be the most
potent argument advanced when bill
providing for the election of senators
by direct vote of the people comes to
be debated in the chamber where he is
to have place. Nor will Mr.. Hanna
argue his own side of the case. He
will be Exhibit A" for the prosecution.

in this old leaven of Whiggism, identi-

the cause of the changes that have

A CHANCE FOR THE pRAMATrsTs.

Assuming that Mr.. Frohman is can
did in an offer he has made to the aspir-
ing dramatists Of America, he has re-
moved cause for complaint which has
become almost universal. Playwrights
of this country, especially those who
are still unknown to fame, have alleged
that theirs was an infant industry that
received neither encouragement nor
protection; that managers ignored ma
tive talent to force upon the people the
work of foreign authors, Indifferent in
quality and lacking in local color Mr..
Frohman has taken up the matter bold
ly. In the near future an actress who
has been identified with his success is
to be launched as an independent star.
For her debut the manager announces
he is anxious to secure an American
play, and that he will accept the work

The thirty-fifth annual convention
of the National Educational associa-
ton has its proceedings recorded in a.
bulky volume Of over one thousand
pages from the press of the University
of Chicago. If the growth of interest
in educational matters among educat-
ors Is to be measured by the growth in
size of these publications, the conclu
sion one might draw Is very satisfac-
tory, this volume dwarfing the meager
pamphlets of even ten years ago. while
the list of membership supplements in
its increase the evidence given by the
publications. having swelled from a
few hundred to 9,073 active members
in 1896. If there remain any one who
yet believes that the whole scheme of
education is embraced within the scope
OF the historic three Rs" the table Of
contents Of the Buffalo meeting will
enlighten him, for it includes papers
upon and discussion of the whole field
OF education to which the three Rs"
were but the opening gate The Spe-
cial articles in this volume are written
by educators as eminent in their pro-
fession as is Prof Gilbert, and they
are discussed by men and women who
have given their lives and abilities to
the science of pedagogy and it's prac-
tice as an art. Nor are they dry or
technical. A layman opens the book
at random and finds himself reading
with deepening interest the paper he
may chance upon To the teacher the
value of the publication is apparent,
while the layn1an will find his mind
broadened by it's perusal

The attraction at the Metropolitan opera
house the last three nights Of this week, with
Saturday matinee, will be Nell Burgess cele-
brated New England play. THE 81 w County
Fair" The story Of this play is too well
known to need extended description Dealing
with the oddities Of some Of the Quaint New
England people, 1t still possesses enough heart
interest to make 1T acceptable to all classes
of theater-goers. Ali the scenery used the
automatic race track invented and patented by
Mr.. Burgess, and the handsome thoroughbred
horses are carried by the company The
mechanical race track enables the showing
of stirring race from beginning to finish !;
and the horses are actually rum although they
are never out OF sight Of the spectators. The
glimpse Of rural scenery Is realistic, and the
company thoroughly capable. A number of
new and taking specialties are introduced
which are clever and timely. 1t is a note
worthy production of wonderful play. The
sale of seats opens this morning.
Tonight is to be the military night at the
Metropolitan. The management of the opera
house and of 1.-The Nancy Hanks" company
have combined in invitation to companies
d and E to attend the performance, which
invitation has been accepted. Both COM
panies will be present in full dress uniform.
