THE MODERN DRAMA.

The hero is accused of crimes he never
did at all,
The heroine does nothing else from that
time on but bawl,
The villain smiles and says. Ha, ha!
they're in meh pow'r at last;
Adventures smokes cigarettes and thinks
it duced fast.
You never see lawyer who is young and
up to snuff.
The playwright thinks that ninety-eight
is plenty young enough!
Accomplices are always tough and look
ing for the .'swag;
The maids in love with loudly checked
watch-chain-wearing Wag.
He always scorns the Williams gold, but
bOrrows from the maid,
Who serves her mistress just for fun and
cares not to be paid.
And then the retribution comes just as
the curtain falls. 80,
The hero grabs the heroine who still is
swept with squalls;
The handcuffed william Kisses as he's led
away in rage,
And everything ends happily when
worked out on the stage.
Harold MacGrath in Puck.

BOSS PLATT'S SPEECH.

There is nothing very remarkable in
the speech made by Senator-elect
Thomas c. Plat on the occasion of the
dinner given in his honor at Albany
His reelection was a foregone con-
clusion; it is very doubtful if his re-
entrance into the senate is a matter of
congTatulation in any sense. Mr.. Platt
has become the Republican boss of
New York state, and he is a boss in
the very worst sense of the word.
His reelection to the senate recalls
the fact that his exit from that body
was dramatic in the extreme. 1t is
sixteen years ago, and the occasion
was quarrel between him and Roscoe
Conkling, the senator from New York,
and President Garfield over question
OF patronage, or spoils. Against the

LITTLE PETE's MURDER.

The murder in San Francisco of the
Chinaman known as Little Pete brings
forcibly to mind the fact that the
Cinnamon of that city do not live I'M
der our government so far as their
conduct towards each other as regards
the law is concerned. In looks, dress
and ways they are no more foreign
than in their code of laws and Gus
toms. The higli-binders execute SEN
fences of death without any hesitation
whatever, so far as the laws of Cali
fornia are concerned. and they are
never apprehended and punished. The
power that passes these sentences, and
puts them in execution is so great
that it is able to prevent the apprehen-
sion and punishment of its instruments
Detective work among the Chinese, ex-
cept Of very crude kind, is almost
impossible because it must be done
by the Chinese themselves. No matter
how great a master of the language
a man of another nationality might
be, he could not avail himself of his
knowledge because of such strong
racial differences. To do good detect
i've work there must be a mingling
with those suspected of crime. In the
case of Cinnamon this can only be done
by one of their own race. but fear of
the power that controls them all causes
them to hesitate to act as informers;
for them to do so means. usually,
death.
The difficulty of dealing with the
high-binder societies of San Francisco
is shown by the fact that they have
existed there so many years, perpe-
trating their crimes whenever occasion
called for them, and the police have
been unable to suppress them. If the

The arbitration treaty is destined to
become q subject of universal popular
discussion, for the people favor the
principle of it. There is some opposi-
ton to it in the senate. The Boston
Post very sensibly says: Granting

we can drop it then. It is not likely
that Great Britain in this time will
have the opportunity or be able to de-
spoil Us of territory or to overthrow the
Monroe doctrine. We can afford to give
the scheme & trial
But supposing that any of these
critical points were 70 arise in the
course of the five years experiment in
arbitration, what possible detriment
can come to the United States? In all
matters of moment, the decision of the
high court must be made by the vote

the United States, can be reached only
when two out Of the three American
members of the court take sides with
the members on the part of Great Brit
ain. Is it reasonable to suppose that
two out of three of our own represent
atives will prove traitors
1.-The treaty is. in the first place,
purely experimental the duration of
wears. And, in the next place, the ex-
periment is so carefully guarded
against infringement of the sovereignty
of either nation as to render perma-
uent injustice impossible"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-27

police of that city have been unable to
solve the problem, as they have, it
would be presumption for anyone not
acquainted with the great difficulty at
tending its solution to make any sug-
gestions. The crimes of the high
binders are confined to their own
countrymen generally and this fact at
fords them certain protection so far
as the discovery of them is concerned.
Were they against the white citizens of
San Francisco they would be wiped
out in short order, but that they are
not does not make them crimes any the
less.
This murder of Little Pete will surely
result in extraordinary efforts being
put forth to suppress the high bind
ers, but with what success remains
to be seen.

If YOU see the hot tears falling
From a brothers weeping eyes,

Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When q brothers heart is sad9
If your work is made more easy
By a friendly, helping hand,
Say 30. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land;
Should a brother workman dear
Fslter for a word of cheer9
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching as you'go-
Leave them Trust the Harvest Giver,
He will make each seed to grow,
So, until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack q friend.
