CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
A REPLY TO DIR. RAINsFoRD

Honestly acquired wealth has it's
rights as well as its duties. and il is
seldom spent, no matter how lavishly
without benefiting the various depart
ments of trade and those employed in
carrying il on. IL is the boarding of
wealth instead of using It in business,
and the transferring Of 1t from the
country I'm which Il has been accumu-
lated to another that do the mischief
to be charged to its account. In dull
times, when we hear so much about the
misery of the unemployed, that misery
is always, and almost rightly so, at
tribuJed TO the fact Of so much money
lying idle instead Of being invested In
the carrying on of the various branches
of industry and business. This unfor-
tunate state of affairs is due TO both
economic and political conditions, the
latter, we regret to say, too frequently
arising I'm this country and often pro
ducing the former.
While the rich, then, give employ
ment to the poor from selfish motives
that they may make profit on their in
vestments as well as pay wages and
salaries, to their employees. there are
times when it is their moral, though
not their legal duty to help those in
distress through no fault Of their own.
And while it is better to give payment
for work than to bestow aims, yet IL oc-
casionally happens that it is not expe-
dent to give the work because OF there
being no market for its product. In
discriminate almsgiying is an evil be-
cause Il may encourage many to idle
ness. There are times, however. when
II ought to be bestowed on the able
bodied, while to give il in support OF
those disabled temporarily or perma-
nently incapacitated for earning a liv-
ing !s a duty on all who can afford to
be charitable.-Catholic Standard and
l Times.

nTHE Old HoMEsTEAn.n

Everybody goes to see The Old
Homestead" when he has the chance,
and another opportunity occurs to en-
joy this perennially popular play at the
Grand Opera House next Saturday af-
ternoOn and evening. The cast is a
particularly strong one, with Archie
Boyd as the loveable Joshua Whitcomb,
the rest of the members being the same
as at the last visit. The double quar-
tet and choir have been carefully Sc
lected. and include rare voices. The
musical portion of The Old Home
stead" is not the least commendable.
All the scenery has been made new
since the play was last seen here. One
Of the principal new features is q thun-
derstorm. with a visible rain shower
pouring down. and electrical devices
used for the lightning. Il is one OF the
most startlingly realistic storms ever
seen on the stage. The fam-yard, with
its wagons. its beehives, its old-fash-
lcncd well. Its rcse-covered cottage and
sunny porch are shown. FIRST in the
bright sunlight. then under the gloomy
conditions Of the storm, and the transi-
ton is as natural rs everything else In
this play.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"THE PRIsoNER OF zENDA.n =


The advent Of "The Prisoner Of
Zenda." to be presented at the Grand
Opera House next Thursday evening, is
looked forward to with more than
usual interest because of the variety
Of incidents in the story. The strong
contrasts of character, the bright vein
Of humor. the romantic atmosphere, the
brilliant costuming. the magnificent
stage effects and the thoroughly artis-
tic manner in which Il is performed by
Daniel FrOhman's talented company
from the Lyceum. "The Prisoner of
Zenda, as a play, has been equally sue
cessful with The Prisoner of Zenda"
as a book What high praise this is,
every one knows, to when the roman
tic, pathetic, improbable story has ap-
pealed, which Anthony Hope gave to
the world. The part Of Edward Rose,
as dramatist. is hardly second in inn
| portance. and the result is an enter
tainment of wondeTou5 beauty and alb
| sOrbing interest.

wHAT cAN BE EXPECTED7

The policy OF President Mckinley Is
sufficiently indicated to awaken the
fears OF the patriots OF the country and
It is evident that the prosperity which
the Republican party expects to succeed
in bringing about will be based upon
securing the government OF the country
in the hands Ofthewealthyc classes. Men
like Hanna think they know the neces-
stiles OF the average American citizen
better than he does himself. They be-
lleve that there should be a class ofpeo-
pie to make and execute the laws on
the pattern which is popular in Europe,
only there the divine right OF rulers Is
Acknowledged, while here It is proposed
to substitute for that those who have
been able to make themselves rich.
There is nothing new in this, for al
most since the very beglnningofour gov
ernment the wealthy classes have at
tempted to rule the country. jefferson,
who wrote the Declaration Of lndepen-
dence. represented the democratic idea,
and the one upon which the people Of
this country secured their freedom
from England. For the first seventy
years OF our independence, beginning
with the administration OF Jefferson,
the government OF the country was
practically democratic. One mans vote
was as good as another, and a poor
mans brains were esteemed as highly
as the rich mans.
After this there came a change par
ticularly noticeable since the civil war
and encouraged by the Republican ad-
ministrations which the country has
had since that time. The tariff has been
used to secure the wealth Of those who
had the means TO make it's provisions
available, and there has been an enor-
nous increase OF private wealth. For.
tunes have been made rapidly. and the
country Is now practically under the
control OF that class of people who JET
ferson, in his day. made obey The
democratic ideas upon which the gov
ernment was based.
Then what can be expected Of tn,
new administration? Evidently pros
perity for the wealthy and increase'
poverty among the people. The de
monetization OF silver increases thu
purchasing power Of gold for the bene
fit OF the rich. The anticipated tariff
will raise the value OF almost every
thing that the mass of the people hai
70 purchase. but the party in power viii
encounter one difficulty that 1t is hare
to see how they can overcome
Such a tariff as 1t proposes to pas
will not produce sufficient revenue t.
supply the money required by the gov
ernment. Like the Mckinley tariff, I
will prevent importations TO such al
extent that 1t will reduce the revenue
and as this is now altogether too small
and the Republicans are determined no
to have any internal tax on incomes, i
is a difficult problem to see how tn
constantly-increasing expenses OF tn
government are TO be met by the pres
ent administration.

NAVAL AMBITION OF THE WORLD

NAVAL AMBITION OF THE WORLD.
It appears to be the great ambition
of the nations just now, as perhaps
never before, to make a great display
OF naval strength, and II requires but a
cursory reading of the newspapers to
reacn the conclusion that the activity
OF all the powers in building warships
was never so great as in this closing
decade Of the nineteenth century. The
building programs of England, France
and Russia are tremendous Italy, not
long ago a formidable power, is falling
behind, owing to the excessive strain
on her finances; but Germany is show
ing renewed activity, in common with
the rest of the world.
The most significant phenomenon of
the last ten years has been the sudden
rise Of the United States. How far in
this direction our nation should desire
or should consent to go. is a question
