IT PAYS to advertise. Not long ago
the Princess Tonomarvancu, daughter
of Paul, king of Maori, advertised for
a white husband Notwithstanding
race, color and tattoo, the ad" had
not been O.: a week before suitors as
white as the driven snow came flocking
from the remotest quarters of the
globe to lay their tribute at the feet of
the duskey princess. We're the black
lass, polyandrist of the rankest type,
she could now realize her widest
dreams, and all through a newspaper
want ad."

SIR. WILFRED LAURIER, Canada's
premier, will soon be in Washington. 1t
is to be hoped that his visit will ac-
complish much toward the settlement
of questions such as the Behring Sea
dispute, the alien labor laws, the north
Atlantic question, and numerous others
which have been cause of dissatisfac-
ton between the United States and
her northern neighbors tor so long. 1t
is conjectured that Premier Laurier
will seek to include the whole list in
one general settlement. Such was the
policy of Blaine, and if possible, is un-
doubtedly the surest and quickest way
of dispensing with the vexed bubbles
to which these oft repeated disputes
have given rise.

THE Ohio democratic managers hav,

The Ohio democratic managers have
been warned that ex-candidate Bryan,
who intends to deliver series OF
speeches in Kentucky, will probably
select spots near the banks of the Ohio
river, so that convenient south wind
may carry his voice into Ohio, this
being the only manner in which he
will be able to address the people of
that state by reason of the rigid quar-
antine which the democratic managers
have established against him.

NATURALLY those colleges whose
teams have met with defeat number
of times this season are resurrecting the
cry of down with foot ball, and placing
it on the plane with prize fights. If
those people would read the record of
the killed. wounded and disabled by
Corbett and Fitzsimmons alone they
would conclude in exterminating quail
ties, foot ball is an afternoon nap in
comparison with the pugilistic art.

The Union Pacific.

The foreclosure sale of the Union
Pacific railroad at Omaha last Monday
practically closes the last chapter in
the history of the governments relation
to the development of the west; a
history written under republican direc-
ton. The isolated condition of the far
west before the war caused a reason
able apprehension of its ultimate
separation from the east. With
patriotic motives, in order to prevent
80 great a national calamity, the
government, in '62, under the admins
tratiOn of Abraham Lincoln, voted to
aid the Pacific companies in the con-
struction of railroad system which
would serve as bond uniting the
thriving east with the great unsettled
expanse beyond the Mississippi. The
venture involved considerable risk, but
existing conditions demanded it. 1t
was as necessary to preserve the union
intact as the emancipation proclama-
ton. The governments assistance
consisted of money advanced in United
States bonds, and grants of lands. In
'69, under the administration of q, S.
Grant, the Union and Central Pacific
railroads were completed and the
driving of the final spike of iron, silver
and gold, was greeted with the huzzas
of the American people from one end
Of the country to the other. Notwith-
standing its great struggles the project
accomplished it's purpose. The great
east and west have been indissolubly
bound together, but at an enormous
expense to the government, for which,
in the minds of the skeptical, it could
never be repaid. During the admins
tration of Benjamin Harrison there was
little enough cause for fear, since in
go, 81 and '92 the Pacific companies
we're realizing large dividends.
Throughout the next four years, how
ever, it looked as if the government
was sure to lose millions.
In Cleveland's administration
the income from the Union Pacific
reached hard pan, and Grover and his
advisers were willing to sell the system
which represented $4,000, 900 of
United States money for S45.0O0,O 600
But thanks to President Mckinley
that $25, 900, 900 has been saved. One
year of republican rule was sufficient
to make the Pacific railroad stock so
valuable that the government has been
able to clear itself without loss. Never
theless much is due President McKin-
ley and his advisors for their judg-
ment and firmness. No doubt charges
will be frequently made against them
on one ground and another, but the
facts remain to refute them, and the
very satisfactory result of the Union
Pacific enterprise stands as mon
umeDt to Republicanism.

'RIcHEL1EU" WAS EXCELLENT.
Another Good House Greets owen in His
Best Play.

" Richelieu" was the bill at the
Rhode opera house Tuesday evening,
and it is not one iota short of the truth
to say that it is one of the very best
plays and one of the best presentations
ever seen in Kenosha, and there was a
good house to witness it. The crafty
cardinals part was taken by Mr.. Owen
in decidedly mastery manner. There
is nothing conventional about Mr..
Owens acting. He follows no estab-
lished lines so far as his conception Of
the part he plays may differ from them.
He carefully digs out the thoughts and
intentions OF the creators of his parts
and brings them out with all the force
at his command. And he is proving
markedly successful in it.
Whoever saw so good a monk as j.
r. Amory is? His Joseph" Tuesday
evening was a masterpiece. 1t was
one of the most curious combinations
of comedy and religious sanctity ever
seen here. j. W. Mcconnell as {" Chew
alier de Mauprat" was good, as was
Miss Baker in Guile de Lorme. :"
Miss Bakers work seems to lay best in
emotional parts. If anything she
slipped over some of her parts with
something of the swing affected by
sophomores in oratory, ie., STRANGELY
unnatural, but not enough so to do any
great harm.
Of the scenes what could have been
more thrillingly grand than the curse
scene in the fourth act, or more cun~
ningly crafty than the two scenes in
which the cardinal and De Manprat
met, first as prisoner and next where
the latter enters the palace to take the
formers life? All those scenes were
fine pieces of work.

The intricacies of logic and the
fine haired distinctions and bubbles of
international law, patriotism, and duty
brought out in the discussion of the
Cuban question remind one of the
problems of the scholasticas as to the
number of angels that could dance on
the point of a needle, and are about as
potent in solving the perpiexed ques-
ton. Our president, with his cabinet
and congress, who have been chosen to
settle that with other matters of equal
importance are in situation to know
most about affairs, and can be de-
pended upon to act in way most con-
ducive to the public welfare and with
greatest fidelity to the principles at
stake. Then why enhance the diff
Guilty of a task, already trying in the
extreme, by indulging in comments
which only tend to precipitate matters
and make them more difficult by aggra-
waiting the enmity of Spain and her
European supporters? In case inter-
vention becomes necessary to proper
settlement the United States will have
little enough to fear. But war under
any conditions is undesirable, and
President Mckinley, being in all prob
ability as we'll aware of that as the
public, will do all that can be done to
end the Cuban trouble without hostili
ties; not forgetting in the meanwhile
that the nations dignity and honor
must be maintained.

WEyLER is certainly a bold man.
Says he, speaking of the Cuban cam
paigns: "The policy which I have fol-
lowed was not adopted in obedience to
any political party, but for what il
represented on behalf of my country"
There is no gainsaying the truth of that
statement, but who but Weyler since
the inquisition has had the heroism to
so expose Spain.

sentiment that if he were running for

than those of Tammany, he would in
all probability have his wish.

G: A. &. Entertainment.

On the evenings OF Nov. 18TH ana
10Th Fred S. Lowell Post, G.. A. R., will
present at Rhode Opera House Mr.. w.
E. Chambers Birdseye Views of the
War. In its relation to the whole his
tory of the United States the import
ance of the civil war can hardly be
overestimated. 1t had its origin in the
birth of the government, and to a
remarkable degree, history OF it's
causes wonld be the governments his
tory.
Nat only did it destroy the lives of
more than one seventh of the voting
population of the country, but it had
in its keeping the perpetuity of popu-
lar government, and the issues of life
and death of the union itself. The fol-
lowing is a brief outline of the lee
lures:
FIRST EVENING. i-.
l. The events leading up to the civil
war and the firing on Fort Sumpter,
2. From Fort Sumpter to Gettys-
burg, in the east.
d.
burg, in the west.
SECOND EVENING.
l. Chattanooga TO Atlanta. ~"
2. Atlanta to the Sea-
3. Grants Virginia campaigns and
surrender of the confederates.
The great civil war is presented by
campaigns, as a connected whole.
Nearly one hundred beautiful illus
trations are projected on the screen
each evening, including selections from
the famous g Brady war views" CYCLIC
rams, celebrated paintings, etc., and
the official government war maps, now
presented for the first time.
The lectures will be interspersed
with songs by Miss Belle Head, Mrs.
Q. G.. Franks, Mr.. S. C. Newman, W.
M. P. Davis, and recitations by Miss
Marie Heating.
These lectures were presented at
Waukegan, Ill, Nov. 4th and 9Th, by
the Grand Army Post there, and the
Lake County Patriot says Of them:
" The lectures were very entertaining
and instructive, colored steropticOn
views being used to illustrate them,
adding great interest to the subject
matter as it tells the story of the war
in more satisfactory manner to most
people than the mere reading of history
would"
Believing that they have something
of more than ordinary attractiveness
and interest to present to the public,
they ask their cooperation in making
these lectures q success.
On Friday afternoon, Nov. 10Th, they
give a matinee for the benefit of the
school children, with uniform charge
of admission of ten cents.
Admission to the regular lectures
will be Is, % and 80 cents. dwn0

THERE may be some grounds for
conjecture on the status of affairs left
in Cuba by the retired Gen. Weyler,
and on the probable methods Of pro-
ceedure to be adopted by his successor
Blanco; but as to the purpose of the
heroic Cubans there is no room for
question. Their object is independ-
ence, or autonomy under some other
government than Spain.

an interest in politics. In those states
in which the silver question enters into

THE impression received from read
ing most of the press comments on the
advisability of war with Spain in
Cuba's behalf is whether or not the
United States can thrash Spain and
come out of the affair unscathed.
Now that speaks well for our caution
but reflects upon our fidelity to the
principles upon which our own govern
ment is founded.

In recent interview, however, Assist
ant Secretary Howell expressed the
belief that the new tariff law would
prove to be revenue producer to such
an extent that, with it's resources,
the government would no longer have
to face large addition to it's existing
deficit. He says that importations of
sugar and wool alone under normal
conditions will bring into the treasury
a sufficient sum to overbalance the
deficit in the fiscal operations of the
government for the month of October,
leaving the collections from all other
articles to be applied to the reduction
of the deficit accumulated since the
first of the year.
