AT THE THEATERS.

Science will elevate the drama The
gentleman who uttered the above words in
regard to science elevating the drama was
James Neill, one of three very handsome
leading men of the Giffen-Neiii stock COM
pany, which is to play summer engagement
at the Metropolitan, and, II 1t is true, the
former occupation of lovely Mrs Kendall
and other ladies and gentlemen of the stage,
who seem to possess a great desire to elevate
the DRAMA will be gone. ''The phonograph,
for instance" said Mr.. Neill ''is doing a
work for the drama nowadays that few people
ever dream Of Great actors now talk beau
tiful and self-sacrificing speeches into the
phonograph, speeches that prove that the
ward of honesty and virtue will be happiness
and contentment, and these speeches are sent
broadcast over the world, and listened to by
the general Needless mob. Another thing, if
an actor is studying a part and he wants to
get the full delineation of the character out
of the speeches he has to say, he can't do it
at rehearsal because he cannot readily hear
his own voice to the best advantage What
does he do? He talks into phonograph, and
then he listens afterwards to the infection
of his own voice, and thereby gains untold
instruction. If some great actor plays a
certain part this year and next year some
lesser light wants to play the same part he
gets the cylinder on which are the impress
sions of the first actors voice, puts it into
the machine and listens to it, and studies the
voice infections over and over again.
"a Railroad Ticket" with its laughabjs
comedy features illustrative of the railroad
ticket brokerage business, continues to meet
with the decided approval Of local theater-
goers. Today at ESQ the first popular priced
matinee of the engagement will be given.
Next week at the Grand. Ida Fuller, the
great illusion dancer, will be the attraction.
Miss Fuller will be assisted by company Of
clever vaudeville artists, who combine to
present programme Of unique and attractive
interest.

In his speech Of acceptance Mr.. Cleveland
kicked this spurious plank out of the plat
form and stood on the original declaration
that in tariff reduction prudent regard would
be had for interests hitherto protected. Any
body but an irresponsible lunatic would have
done the same.-New York Times.
And when Mr.. Cleveland thus kicked the
Neal plank out of. the platform of 1892 he
kicked wide open the door to admit the in
rush of the very same voracious horde who
have lust written into the Aldrich bill their
demands The Catehings and Wilson letters
show that Mr.. Cleveland discovered his mis-
take when it was too late to stop the @eom-
munism of pelf'' and to prevent the Demo-
cratic party from breaking its solemn pledge
to eliminate protection from the tariff
and make one for revenue solely.
And the Times and its kind in the
protection-saturated East, by the denuncia-
tons with which they received the Neal plank,
are even more responsible for the disasters
to the party that followed than is Mr.. Cleve-
land This is the truth, and It will be better
for the party and the country If 1t is gen.
orally accepted.

A PUBLIC SCANDAL.

The decision Of the supreme court Of
the United States in the suit against
the Bell Telephone company brings to
light a state Of facts that constitutes
aapubHc scandal Of such proportions
that it demands a thorough investiga-
ton. The court holds the Bell patent
valid, and denies the validity of the
patent Of Berliner. This decision is
reached on strictly technical lines Of
reasoning, and it is not for layman
to question it's propriety or the inabil-
ity Of the court to reach any other con-
clusion. A layman can, however, ex-
anime and appreciate the facts that
are brought out at his time and are
plainly acknowledged by the court it.
self.
These facts show that the Bell Tele-
phone company's patent would have
expired by this time unless it had been
able to prolong it by securing control
Of the inventions Of Berliner. Thew
show that this patent Of Berliner was
granted in 1891, at which time the
American Bell Telephone company was
entitled to all rights under it as as
signee. They show that the applica-
ton for this patent was made as far
back as 1877. It was not granted at
that time because Of what is known
in the patent office as an 'interfer-
ence." Two claims, alleged to cover
the same ground, with each claiming
priority Of right, were set up against
each other. and there the matter hung
without decision for fourteen years.

OUR LADY OF THE SHOWS.


Rudyard Kipling in London Times, April 2
A nation spoke to nation,
A queen sent word to throne
Daughter am 1 in my mothers house,
But mistress in my own.
The gates are mine to open 49,
AS the gates are mine to close, eS
And set my house in order,
Said the Lady of the Shows.
Neither with laughter nor weeping.
Fear or the child's amaze,
Soberly under the white mans law
My whites men go their ways.

Insult or threat of blows,
Bow we the knee to Baal

My speech is clear and single.

Words Of the wharf and market placs
And the ware the merchant brings.
Favor to those favor,
But stumbling block for my foes,
Many there be that hate US,
Said our Lady of the SHOWS,
called my chiefs to council,
In the din of troubled year,
For the sake of a sign we would not see,
And word we would not hear.
This is our message and answer,
This is the path we chose,
For we be also a people.

To the queens of the East and South.

They that are wise may follow,
Ere the worlds war trumpet blows,
But IL am first in the battle,

A nation spoke to ration,
A queen sent word to throne,
Daughter am I in my mothers house,
But mistress in my own.
The gates are mine to open,
AS the gates are mine to close,
And abide BY my mothers house,

AIDING IMPERIAL FEDERATION.

ASdlu We IICVG CuG uluSCIdIlOu OIL Tie
truth that, when men inject their laws
into the machinery running harmoni-
ously under natural laws, nothing is
more certain than that the artificial
arrangement will not produce expected
results, and that no one can predict
what the actual results will be- They
break out in the most unexpected
places. Who would have anticipated
that the restoration Of McKinleyism
would have the effect Of giving power
full aid to that movement which, in the
last year, seemed scarcely more than
a dream of impracticable enthusiasts,
the federation of the British empire?
This has been one of the cherished
plans Of Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary
for the colonies, and was strongly pre-
sented by him to the delegates assem-
bled from all the colonies. He pro-
posed as one Of the prominent features
of the federation a customs union
which would extend the British sys-
tenn over all the colonies, so far as
their products were concerned, leaving
each free to raise such trade barriers
as it wished against the products Of
other nations.
The proposition was rejected then, al
port. But it has received new i'm
petus from the Dingley bill, which aims
blows at the products Of the main de-
tendencies. It strikes at Canadian
lumber, at Australian woods, at Indian
jute and at Irish flax, by proposing to
so increase the cost to our consumers
Of these articles as to diminish their
consumption and thereby lessen their
importation. Promptly comes the first
response from Canada in the discrimi-
mating tariff that practically makes
imposts after next year Is per cent
less on imports from England. This
is the Significance Of that poem of
Rudyard Kipling. Of which mention
has been so much made in Republican
papers, and which we give in full else
where this morning. 1t bluntly declares
the purpose Of the Canadian budget in
the lines
"Favor to those I favor,
But stumbling block to my foes
and the wider significance of 1t, the In
vftation to the other dependencies to
join In this most important step to-
ward an imperial federation. which
will make of England one nation ION
which the sun never SETS" is found
in the other verse:
'sCarry the word to my sisters,
To the queens of the East and South,
I have proved faith in the heritage
By more than the word of mouth.
They that are wise may follow,
Ere the worlds war trumpet blows,
But II first in the battle,
Said our Lady Of the Shows"
What this will mean to this country
can be seen by an inspection Of the ta-
bles Of our exports and the countries to
which they go and what Of our prod
ucts they most largely take. OF our
total exports last year 66 per cent
were products Of the farms. Under
former and more protective tariffs the
average was u per cent. OF these ex-
ports England and her colonies took
over so per cent. What will 1t mean
In the stimulation of agriculture in the
colonies and in diminished markets
and values for our products should
England and the colonies unite in q

of it's virtual monopoly for eleven years
from this date For fifteen years at
ter the expiration of the Bell patent
this extraordinary conduct in the pat
ent department prolongs the Bell mo-
nopoly.
The court admits, and even takes
cognizance of all these facts It recog-
nizes their bearing. It intimates that.
If 1t had been shown that the dilatory
acts in the patent Office were brought
about through corruption. then the pat
ent might be set aside. It Is because
that connection has not been estab-
lished, and the court, In the absence
of evidence to the contrary, must pre-
sumo that the delay was in good faith
and the patents issued accordingly,
that it gives it's verdict In behalf of
the Bell company. It feels that no
ether course is open to it, but it does
not. conclude the matter without ex-
pressing the followingnopinion, whose
severity is measured by the infre-
quency with which a court goes out of
it's way to make such reflection: eff
the circumstances do not show that
delay on the part of the officials was
wholly justified, they do make it clear
that it was wholly unwarranted."
Thus the settlement of an issue of
immense Importance to the people Of
this country turns upon performance
in one of the public offices at Wash
ington that should have been sifted to
the bottom years ago. If the causes
Of the delay Of fourteen years in grant
ing the Berliner patent had been ex-
amined into with proper severity by
those responsible, the court might have
found in the facts brought to light rea-
son enough to lead it to another de-
termination. Nobody has ever been
punished for the holding up of this
patent claim. Nobody has ever been
made to explain satisfactorily the rea-
sons for it. No administration has
thought it worth while to fix the re-
sponsibility and to punish the guilty.
The history of this telephone patent
case Is a national scandal. It reflects
upon every man and every party that
permitted such an administration of
the patent office as would make this
possible. We may now expect to hear
another diatribe from the unthinking
against the courts because they ''up-
hold monopoly" when the fault lies
with the unfaithful servants of the
people whom the court is not able to
reach but by whose action it notwith-
standing finds itself bound.

ON THE OTHER LEG.

1t would be amusing, did 1t not
arouse Indignation, to read the de-
bates in the UniteSIStates senate upon
the Morgan Cuban resolution now and
to compare them with the utterances
of the same men in the same body
three months ago. Then Mr.. Cleve-
land was president, and it was d
Democratic administration against
which the shafts Of ridicule and the
mud batteries of vituperation must be
directed. Then our patriots for revenue
only could find nothing too bad to say
of the legislative policy Of the govern
ment in assisting Spain to subdue the
Cuban insurgents, and no language too
vivid in which to paint the horrors
and indignities to which American citi-
zens in Cuba were subjected. Now
it is Mr.. Mckinley who is president.
and Republican administration upon
which would fall the reflection of a
The boot is on the other leg. The men
who filled the air of the senate cham
Der with resounding howls at the be-
ginning of the present year now roar
as gently as sucking doves. They want
the public to be patient and moderate.
Referring to the persons imprisoned
in Cuba, in whose behalf torrid ap-
peals were made to the whole country
little while ago, Republican SELL
ator now tells US that there are few
Americans among them. "They are all
Sanguillys or Delgados or Ruizs," he
says Well, what of that? Were not
Sanguilly and Ruiz Of the same ma
ticnality quarter Of a year ago that
they are today? Have they changed
color or race since then, and can you
find a Republican newspaper in which.
at that time, there did not appear
columns of bombast and Of villainouS
abuse Of the Cleveland administration
because of the sufferings of these very
men? Sanguilly and Ruiz were good
enough to use as torches to fire the
American heart when a Democratic
government was responsible for the at
titude of this country toward Spain.
When it is a Republican administra-
ton that must take up the work, then
these men cease to be Americans. They
are no better than "Dagoes," the hon
orable senators would tell us, and it
is not for such as these that we are
to hazard an unfriendly relation with
Spain.
Evil as is the work and the purpose
Of men like Senator Morgan, they do
not, at least, shame themselves by
changing their attitude to fit the cir
cumstances. Morgan is a jingo and
an Anglophobist all the time. He does
not take back today what he said in
February. He pushes his ridiculous
and improper resolutions as earnestly
now as he did then However bitterly
we may denounce him, we must at
least respect his consistency on this
subject. For the men on the opposite
side, who filed the press and the legis-
lative halls of this country with mis-
representation, falsehood and abuse in
their treatment of the Cuban question
during the last administration, and
who now turn tail and take exactly
the opposite course, because Mr.. Nc
Kinley and Secretary Sherman find no
other policy open to them than that
which was followed honorably by Mr..
Cleveland and Secretary Olney, there
ought to be nothing but the bitter
contempt that falls on insineerity and
dishonesty.

At the close of the examination
last Saturday Prof. Spurlock
gave his teachers a very impress
sive talk, as to their moral quail
ifications as teachers of the chill
dren. He said that he placed
more stress upon the moral quail
ifications than any other require
ment by the law. The law is
clear in stating that | shall not
license any person to teach who
is given to profanity, drunken
ness, gambling, RIGHTEOUSNESS or
any other demoralizing vices, and
| shall follow this law as closely
as | can, said he. He further
stated that he considered card
playing, betting on prize fights,
and many other things that some
think but little about, as de-
moralizing vices.
