One Act Finished.

London, May 2.-The Times says edi-
torially: "Exultation over the Ameri-
can victory is a sentiment with which
all friends Of the American people I'm
England will readily sympathize. We
wish we could also share the view Of
many well-informed persons in the
United States as to the consequences of
the victory. The idea that Spanish
honor may be satisfied by the issue of
a single action i'm which Spain's best
ships We're not engaged will not appear
very probable to those best acquainted
with the Spanish character. Unless an
unforeseen convulsion occurs in Spain,
il is only too probable that many
months will elapse before effective ac-
tion can he taken in Cuba, the only
place where II is likely to be attended
with decisive results"
The Daily Telegraph says: The mis-
management of the Spanish could
hardly have been carried to greater or
more amazing lengths. One act in the
drama is over and there seems little
ground for believing that the next will
be unlike IL"

sian combat; thirty-two since the Aus

near letting slip the continental dogs
of war last year, and France and Eng

other across the Niger and in the upper
reaches of the Nile Germany is let
ting its militarism find some vent in
China, while the populace all over
Europe are exercising their ferocities
on the Jews, pending the final culmina-
ton in international war. All this in
dicates that nature is preparing an
other depopulating operation, aiding
the working of the law of the sur
vival of the fittest, too slow in it's proc
esses. with one in which elimination
is the sole object and no discrimination
is made as to degrees of fitness. After
humanity has been sufficiently phlc-
botomiZed, passions will subside, peace
will prevail, men will resume their
wonted sanity, and the race will again
make progress in the humanities for
another season.

One Folly Abandoned.

The G. l o b e was subject to some
criticism from the thoughtless and frc m
sentimentalists when it objected to the
sending by the government of a relief
expedition to the Klondille. It's posi-
ton is now indicated by the official
abandonment of the foolish project. 1t
grew out of a mistaken sentiment and
dependence on wild rumor instead of
on fact. When winter closed down on
the passes that lead into Alaska, the
sensational newspapers published
stories of the horrible suffering that
was about to ensue. 1t was said that
1000 men in Dawson City alone were
exposed to the horrors of starvation;
and federal bounty was appealed to to
save them from their fate.
The obvious facts were, first, that
no one had any knowledge of the exact
situation. Those who came out of the
Klondike after that date We're few, and
their reports, when not palpably exag-
gerated, were not in harmony. Second,
if the gold hunters had to suffer hard
ship, it was clearly their own fault
They had fastened into that desolate
region with warnings ringing in their
ears from every newspaper in the land.
They knew exactly what they had to
| expect; and. if they had not taken
proper precaution to provide themselves
with necessaries, theirs was the respon-
sibiity. Third, very little reflection
served to show that a relief expedition
was imDracticable. 1t would fail to
overcome the obstacles to be met in
forcing entry to the heart of Alaska
in the middle of winter, and it must
necessarily be delayed until it's work
should be no longer needed.
We have now official confession Of all
this. The war department has an
nounced that the expedition will be
| abandoned, and congress is to be asked
to authorize the sale of supplies ard of
the reindeer that some fantastical
genius ordered purchased to carry in
the food destined for the sufferers
With thousands of other Adventures
| already on their way to the gold fields,
| further progress toward a relief expe-
| dition becomes too farcical even for a
! circumlocution office 1t is well that
| this foolishness should be formally
| abandoned. 1t ought never to have
been countenanced by sensible people.

The Philosophy of War

A cold-blooded philosopher finds in
war one of the provisions of nature fo,.
preventing undue increase Of popula-
ton, the counterpart of which is found
in the animal kingdom where over
population is kept in check by Gambia
listic appetites. Modern physicians
have discarded the process of phlebot-
omy, so common among GaIen's dis
ciples from remote periods to a time
within the memory of men now living.
But nature seems still to regard the
process as a healthful one for tbe
elimination of social ill-humors and the
removal of human beings, produced
without the slightest regard to the re-.
lauons of supply and demand. So we
nave periods, similar to the present.
when humanity grows belltcose, term
ing 1t patriotism; when the blood in
creases its heat; when nations become
pugnacious, and matters rush rapidIv
to the climax of battle, murder and
sudden DEATH"
There is no fixed periodicity in these
returns of the depopulating mania. but
there seems to be a limit of about tbir-
ty years to the calm between irrrn-
lions. The War of the Revolution was
succeeded twenty-nine years later Inv
the War of 1S12-15. Thirty-one vaars
after its close came the war with Nov
leo, to be followed at an interval Of
only fifteen years by our Civil war
Thirty-three years have elapsed since
AppomattoX, three years beyond the
limit. But the bellicose spirit has been
showing itself for some time past in
dicating return of the epidemic. II

dent, and numerous patriots twisted

AT THE THEATERS.

Richard Mansfield exemplifed the actors
art at the Metropolitan last night in his
tmpersonation of Baron Chevrial in "a Peri
sian Romance"
Mr. Mansfield revealed his genius to the
public through this French drama. Before Its
production he was admittedly clever. After
the metropolis had seen it he was conceded
to be worthy actor-a legitimate player, if
you please. Then he played other roles in
other dramas-some Of them his own-and
the people admitted that he was more than
a clever actor.
Such was the metamorphosis of the come
dian in burlesque of an Offenbach opera into
a great actor.
The allegation that Mr.. Mansfield is a great
actor may be denied but 1t cannot be sue
cessfully controverted.
If the ability to produce telling effects is
one of the tests of a great actor, Mr. Mans
held cannot be accused Of a shortcoming
He never fails.
artificial aids of lights, scenery or music
sanity or Satanic-to produce those effects,
the accuser has no weapons.
Ii 1t be insisted that Mr.. Mansfield EMPLOYS
palpable artifice to make his meaning clear,
that charge falls to the ground.
Mi. Mansfield is suggestive actor. He has
extracted from the publc-the sympathetic,
yet unHefclIul, CRITICAL pub1c-ltS secret.
He lets it do the acting.
But all credit must be given to Mr.. Mans
field for the acting this public does Without
the magnetism that this artist possesses no
actor could make such long pauses before
picking up his cues.
Baron Chevrial would be guilty of stage
waits if anybody else played him. But
with Mr.. Mansfield in the character. the
silence increases as the audience awaits his
response.
The combination of personal magnetism and
proficient art is irresistible.
Mr.. Mansfield subordinates his individuality
in the Baron Chevrial, if he does not en-
tirely conceal it. Such an individuality can
not escape the detection of the discerning
mind But the nature of the character is
put in the foreground by the artist The
makeup, the facial expression, the voice, the
physical subjugation OF the body to that of
despicable, avaricious, Hcent.ous roce-these
were admirably counterfeited by Mr.. Mans
field.
But Mr.. Mansfield won the unqualified ap-
proval Of the public for this portrayal so
long ago that it needs no further encomium.
Those who have witnessed "a Partisan Ro-
nance are aware that 1t is not a cheerful
