Mrs. Fiske's comma ndings qualities as an
actress are now generally recognized, and
In her new play-''Tess of the D'Urber-
villes"-which will be presented at the
Grand next week, she has been credited by
the critics OF other cities with the most
intensely human stage creation of recent
years. Contrary to expectation, the play
has made a direct appeal to all classes OF
theatergoers. 1t is full OF absorbing inter
est, both to the serious spectator and to
the diletante who regards ths drama less
as an art than a source OF amusement.
Mrs. Fiske's acting in any play is powerful
enough to engrUss the attention of an a udi-

OF the east in productive resource. We
stopped at the farm of James Hsgedour
and found that gentleman cemeDting

the future prospects of the country and
has shown his faith by his work. He
has lao acres all under four-wire fence,
every foot broken out, and 4 thirty
acre orchard containing 1907 growing
trees. He set out hts orchard last
spring and says the trees made growth
OF thirty inches during the season. He
intends to put out so acres Of alfalfa
this spring and will feed it to his hogs
and cattle of which he has large
number. A year ago the farmers in
that vicinity had to go lOO feet to water
but since the country has been irfisat-

NOT WE'LL TAKEN.

The Phoenix Herald quotes ap. proyIngly;
 The fact Of the charges against Mr. McCOrd and against all public meh who are or can be assailed as he has been affords the sufiiclent reason for rejection of such men. No wise builder uses gnarled or checked or duzy timber, VI hen he has ciear, live timber at hand and in abundance: and why should President Mckinley do this foolish thiup?-Gfeen Bay Gazette, Wis Republican.
 The position taken is not well taken. Making false and malicious charges against political opponents has become fine art in American politics. And 1t Is practiced most successfully by men whose own polit- ical careers fairly reek with corrup- tiun and rascaiity. in fact u has be- come so common that the causes Of the real rascals are strengthened and helped by filing of charges, aud the rascals have themselves made it so in order to create that very shield fUr themselves which honest men invoke. lr has became almost useless to tilc charges against real rascal seeking office, for he can always trump up disproof of the charges against him just as he trumps up false charges agains honest men. Again, honest men to keep rascal out Of office VIII not camp upon his trail the way the political rascals in Arizona have camped upon the trail of Colonel Mc- Cord. To declare that because charges are made against men public preferment should be closed to them, would be to turn over the public sery- ice at once to thieves aud rascals; for that gentry are expert in manu- featuring charges and then manufac- turing evidence to support them.
