The Primrose & West show that played
n matinee and one night engagement at
the Seattle theater Thursday is weak In
comparison with the efforts of previous
years. In fact there are two Primrose &
West shows this year; one headed by
George Primrose, which WAS here, and the
other by West. somewhere In the East,
a paradoxical statement bat none the less
true. The modest announcement preced-
ed the Seattle appearance that the cclored
element had been dispensed with. the i'm

The first part Of the show was a small
affair, redeemed alone by the chorus sing
ing and the orchestra. At the night per-
Torrance the audience was crowded into
siae orchestra space and the musicians oc-

All Of the Hoyt comedies have been pre-

and none of them has been found wanting
in those qualities which go to make up

In this city. II Is pretty well known that
this clever playwright has never devoted

ported that "A Texas Steer was written

Mr. Hoyt is thoroughly familiar with
each performers ability. and each part has
been especially written with the idea OF
exactly fittins hs people. and bringing out
and giving them every opportunity OF dis
playing their respective merits. The new
piece ID announced as broad farce COM

only. and to furnish heaithfui and en-
jcyable evenings entertainment. Mr..
Hoyf, II - said. has been lavish In the

well as 70 the ear. Every accessory that
can possibly add TO the success OF a

The Washington Papers VS..
Germany

We have several times lately
been compelled to come out
against the Star, Times, and Post,
on account OF their scurrlous and
untrue attacks on Germany. They
have done their best, by publish
ing lying dis patches, and mean
editorials based on those lies, to
incense the public mind against
Germany and create bitter feel
ing between the two nations.
The Star has in almost every
number some squib about the
German Emperor. The Pest Tues
day calls him crazy. Now what
are the facts2 The German EN-
peror stands to-day as the most
powerful monarch in Europe and
Germany at the head Of all other
countries. Instead OF being crazy,

Not Alger Alone.

When a Russian family is driv-
ing across the steppes, pursued 10y
wolves, one ofthe children is some
times thrown into the hungry pack
to enable the rest to escape. There
are indications that something Of
this sort may be attempted in the
case OF the horrible army scandals.
Secretary Alger is the most natural
sacrifice, and the attempt to throw
him to the wolves has already
begun.
That will not do. That Mr..
Alger has culpablY failed to per-
form his high duties as they should
have been performed is distress.
ingly manifest. That his intrusion
Of politics into the military service
has been disastrous is obvious to
the meanest comprehension. But
he is not the only guilty one, nor
even the guiltiest, and his sacrifice
will not save the rest. The chain
OF responsibility neither begins nor
ends in Alger. 1t goes both lower
and higher.

BosroN,s FIeH1INo BREWER.

No BRANCH oi business in Boston has
furnished more men in response to the
call Of the President OF the United States
for troops to fight the Spaniards in Cuba
than the liquor trade. Several have lost
their lives in the recent battles and by
sickness incurred on the field, and others
have returned home 10 receive the
honors due to men who volunteer to go
where their country calls. Among the
latter is Lawrence ]. Logan, who went
out as Lieutenant Colonel of the Ninth
Massachusetts,. and after bravely serving
with his regiment at Santiago returned
home completely prostrated from fever
and privation.
Col. Logan Is proprietor OF one of the
most successful wholesale and retail
liquor houses at the South end, and has
a high standing in the trade He is
president Of the Boston Beer Company,
director OF the Puritan Brewing Com
pany, a bank director and a leading
member IN several charitable and be
nevolent associations. When the South.
ern war broke out he enlisted as a
private, being then about twenty years
of age, and since that time has been
more or less connected with the military.
He is thorough soldier as we'll as a

Universal Peace

The overshadowing difficulty, OF

the Schlitz Company wrote letter to
Admiral Dewey cOngratulating him on

the letter that an order for $500 bottles

France

is mad because the Gar wishes to
have the armies reduced. This
would be a blow to the French
hopes of having another war with
Germany and re-conquering Al
SAGE and Lorraine. Of course
that shows the real feeling OF the
French. They want to be whip
ped another time. For Govern
ment and army that could outrage
the feeling OF Justice and humanity
as in the Dreytus case, will never
be strong enough to conquer Ger
many. Much as Germany may
desire it, under the circumstances
and with the avowed intentions OF
the French, it ca1not stop being
prepared for any emergency.
