Polls Wonderland Theater.

Howell Hansel and his jolly band of merrymakers are providing fun by the wholesale at Polls Wonderland theater with that brightest and cleverest of Augustus Thomas comedy efforts, "'The Man Upstairs" There is so much clean, wholesome fun in this comediet- ta, and the artists who present it are so well fitted to the various roles they assume, that it is one continuous sue cession of funny situations and ludi- crous dialogue from start to finish. Miss Maggie Fielding and Howell Han sel, as the Irish servant girl and "The Man Upstairs respectively, provide the major portion of the fun, but they are ably supported by William Famous, Miss Lizzie Evans and Miss Lucille Lee. The speciality part of the bill is excel lently made up. Among those who con- tribute to 1t are Signor and Mime. Bo- relli, Ali Grant, the three La Rosas, the Quigley brothers, MT Wills and Miss Barron, Miss Rosalie and MT. Will Hams and Miss Carlton.

ing and respectabilty were affected
by the prize package craze and honest
publishers were led 20 believe that II
was necessary for them to offer some
sort of a premium with a subscription
in order to keep their circulation UP
when in competition with other pub
fishers who doomed the prize schemes.
In this way immense quantities of Job
lot books and other articles of five
cent-counter-valu were worked off by
publishers, from markets that had been
glutted. In many instances publishers
were the victims of misplaced confi-
dence and in others reluctantly en-
braced these schemes while laboring
under the impression that 1t was neces-
sary they should do so for self-pro-
lection.
But things have changed since these
conditions very generallyprevailed. one
nowadays seldom hears of the manager
or owner of a reputable newspaper Of
fering premiums as an inducement for
subscriptions. The public has been
made aware of the fact that the prem
ium plan so far as daily newspapers
are concerned is seldom initiated ex-
| cept by inferior papers that can offer
no other inducement. Those papers
which expend the equivalent of this ex-
pense in improvements on their own
columns come out best in the long run,
no matter what the buster which may
temporarily intervene.

The New Minister TO Spain.

In selecting General Stewart L.
Woodford, of Brooklyn as minister to
Spain, President Mckinley has chosen
most happily. General Woodford will
bring to this delicate office a wealth
OF qualities such as will in all prob
ability be needed in Madrid ere many
weeks have passed.
TIC begin with, General Woodford is
a diplomat by nature. He has for
years been one of the two or three
leading peace-makers in Empire state
Republican politics. When the person.
al ambitions of rival leaders clash so
fiercely as to endanger party welfare
or factionalism sets the pace that kills.
General Woodford is one of those who
by a kind of unanimous consent are
expected to undertake the mission of
pacifcation. His services to the party
and to the country in this direction
have not always been conspicuous on
the surface, but as a matter Of fact
they have been very considerable, and
In them he has shown strategy, diplom-
acy, and shrewd knowledge of human
nature which will be no less valuable
at the capital of Spain than they have
been at home. Moreover, as ar Amer
lean, he is sturdy, patriotic and firm
He possesses that reserve force Of
character, that quiet decision. which
is often required in the real work of
diplomacy. He does not bluff and
bluster, but he is all there. For either
strategic manoeuvering or heavy ar
tillery firing he will. in our judgment.
be found adequate to the emergency.
In his fitness for the work likely to be
required Of him the president car re-
pose the fullest confidence.
Naturally no new DEVELOPMENTS in
relation to Cuba may be expected until
General Woodford shall have time to
Iamiliarize himself with his new duties.
! But the circumstances of his appoint
went indicate that the administration
as now decided upon definite policy,
It is a safe guess that man like

GARMAN'S FIAT.
Philadalnhia Bn,letin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Chairman Garman, of the Democratic
state committee, does not mince words
as to what the present Democratic party
in Pennsylvania means to do on national
issues at its August convention. The
chairman's fiat is that no Democrats need
apply who do not stand on the Chicago
platform, swallow their Bryan medicine
without making faces and abjure the po-
litical society and the teachings or the
"gold bugs" No back door or side door is
left open for their admission; they must
come in through the front door or stay
out altogether It is true that the l2,OOO
Pennsylvania Democrats who voted for
Palmer and the 5000 or more who voted
for Mckinley have shown thus tar no
anxiety to seek admission through any
door; but it is, nevertheless, an interest
ing sign of the times that they are not
wanted on any terms except a complete
and unconditional surrender.

WHAT HE FORGETS.

From the Troy Record.
Bryan still bases his hope for political
success upon his capacity for talking. A
correspondent at the national capital sends
out his report: "A few days ago Mr..
Bryan visited in Washington the owner
of a. Democratic paper which opposed
him last year. DO you know, Mr.. Bryan
said the newspaper proprietor, that you
gave me a great deal of trouble last Au-
gust?' Mr.. Bryan raised the outstretched
hand of the newspaper man to MS square
chin and angular jaw. Feel that. said
the leader calmly, and tell me whether
you think / am likely to give more trou-
BILE or not"
The silver champion proposes TO stay
thousands and tens of thousands OF gold
bugs somewhat after the manner OF SAM
son in his encounter with Phiistines. lie
forgets, however, that there has been
marvellous development in weapons or
offense and defense since Samson's time.
and that good judgment has come to be
more effective than jaw bones.

Undeserved Censure.

The passing breeze that has been
stirred up over the refusal of the board
of control to allow the high school
building to be turned into a banquet
hall for the Alumni seems to have its
amusing features, the most amusing,
probably, being the solemnity with
which the refusal Is regarded by many
Of the students who have graduated
with more or less honor in past years,
and who consequently appear to be-
lieve that their achievements should
entitle them to recognition from the
school board, no matter what the ma
ture of their request.
From a casual glance it might seem
that the school board is composed of
what the sweet girl graduate would
term lot of nasty mean old things"
and that the closing of the school room
against the enterprise that would bring
together wit, beauty, eloquence and
good things to eat, was an act indica-
tive that the board has no apprecia-
tion of progress in high school work.
But after all, what particular claim has
the high school alumni as an organiza-
tion upon the new building that is the
pride of the city? The society In the
past has been able to hold itself to-
gether and keep the spirit of sociability
alive among it's members by holding
banquets in other localities. and there
seems no good reason why the building
that has been erected for school pur-
poses solely should be opened for their
enjoyment.
This may sound cold and prosaic, but
If we examine the matter from a prac-
tical standpoint 1t seems as if the school
board should be commended rather
than censured.

The Hawaiian Treaty.

1t was a prudent stroke on the part
of the negotiators of the new Hawaiian
annexation treaty to omit from that in
strument the pension which 1t was at
first proposed to bestow on eX-Queen
Liliuokalani. In the first place, she did
not need the $4,000 year offered to
her in the Harrison Foster treaty which
Cleveland and Gresham, as soon as
they could withdrew from the senate.
She is already Independently rich in
her own right. Secondly, the voting Of
a pension to her. while conceived in a
spirit of pure generosity, was open to
misconstruction.
Let us recall the facts. Liliuokalanl
acted in such a persistent bad faith
toward the responsible citizens Of
Hawaii that after trying milder meas
ures to no purpose they finally rebelled
and overthrow her throne. Then they
erected a republic and instituted nu-
merous reforms. Many sovereigns not
so bad as Lilioukalani have paid with
their lives the penalty for ignoring
popular rights. The only complaint
is that they kept her under nominal
restraint for a time. They took from
her nothing rightfully hers and did not
harm a hair on her head, hence a PEN
sion under these circumstances would
have bordered on the grotesque
SO far as Lilioukalani or any of her
progeny are concerned, the account
may we'll be considered closed. They
had their innings in Hawaiian affairs
and failed to rise to their opportunity,
These democratic times do not stop to
wait on despots who have failed.
Neither do we consider that it is any
concern of Japan, England or other
foreign country whether the United
States shall annex Hawaii or not, pro-
vlded that the immediate parties to the
negotiation are willing that the union
shall be consummated. If Hawaii is
now obligated to certain other nations
by treaties the conditions Of those con-
tracts, in the event Of annexation
would naturally operate to bind the
United States until such time as they
shall expire; but that is all. The bans
of union, If union it is to be, cannot be
forbidden on these slender grounds
The way is clear for us to exercise oul
pleasure in the premises.
There remains, of course, the broader
question whether we want Hawaii, and
on the negative Of this side we find nc
better arguments than that 1t is no
connected with the mainland and tina,
1t has mixed population whose gov.
ernment would give us trouble. In Ger
tain Mugwump newspaper offices, al
though nowhere else, it seems there /!
a belief that the United States mus
not wet it's feet in territorial expansion
and the proposition to annex Hawaii i,
hailed as an abrupt reversal of thi
tradition. May be it is. The point Il
unimportant. Foreign policy is neces
sarily guided largely by conditions a,
they arise. The whole issue, in its prec
tical bearings, revolves around the piv
otal question, would Hawaii as a fu
ture safeguard for American interest
in the Pacific ocean be worth tn
trouble which it might temporaril,
give us?" The reply which common
sense offers is obvious.
