Some Theatrical Jokes.

In a performance of The Lady of the
Lake." says the COrnhin Magazine, the
actor who took the part of Roderick Dhu
was known to be in pecuniary difficulties.
When Roderick gave the line, 81 am Rod
erick Dhu," Fitzjames responded, "Yes,
and your rents due, too" On the produc-
ton of a piece called The Spy the early
acts showed that 1t was going to prove a
failure. So when at a certain point char
acter had to rush on and shout, Five hun
bred pounds for the spy" the author ac-
tor, who was concealed behind a rock,
arose and cried, IT'S yours-copyright
manuscript and parts" That was the end
of the performance.
When eating takes place on the stage the
temptations TO play tricks with the food
are naturally great. In Henry W. the
leek which that inimitable braggart Pistol
has TO eat is usually made from an apple.
But on one occasion at Sadler's Wells the
Fluellen of the evening gave him a real
onion, and he had no choice but to strug-
gle through it, though the tears coursed
down his fat cheeks.

10 do so. We have made no pledges to
Aguinaldo and the Philippine insurgents.
We have not hindered them in any way in
their war against Spain. on the contrary,
We have helped them very materially, by
destroying the Spanish feet and prevent
ing the Spanish forces from receiving re
Inducements from Spain. As far as we
know Admiral Dewey has not placed the
United States under obligations 10 the in
surgents nor done anything that has led
them to take position against Spain that
they would not have otherwise taken.
1t is impossible to see, therefore, that our
Withdrawal from the Philippines, if We
should think it advisable to withdraw,
would be breach of national honor" or
that It would be dishonorable in any way.
Clearly those who are insisting that we de
mand possession of the Philippines are ex-
pressing the opinions In respect to the
matter not warranted by the facts.

Although no indemnity is TO be demand
ed from Spain, the question of money is
bound to play an important part in the
part of SPANS debt was incurred in sup
pressing Instructions in Cuba. The
amount of this part of her debt as about
$40 900 900. Almost all the bonds which
represent 1t are held in France, and for
the payment of the principal and interest
Of the bonds Cuba's custom house taxes
are pledged. 1t IS inconceivable that our
government will listen to any proposition
that Cuba shall assume the payment of
these bonds or that the United States
shall pay them. While it may be true
that the Cubans compelled Spain to issue
these bonds in her efforts TO maintain her
authority in cuba, the fact cannot be over
looked that they were struggling to free
themselves from conditions which We're in
tolerable. Had Spain dealt with Cuba in
liberal manner there would have been
no instructions, and consequently no debt
contracted in putting down instructions.
Besides, Spain has exacted from the Gu
bans within the last half century, above a
legitimate revenue, many times the amount
Of the bonds. The Cubans have received
no benefit from any part of Spain's debt,
and should not be required to pay any
part of it in the settlement which the
United States is now making with Spain.
We do not know, of course, what demands
Spain will make in this matter, but we
feel sure that our government will not
! accede TO any of them. When Cuba sets
up a government of her own It should be
free from any money obligations except
those which her own people have incurred,
or are willing to assume. AS far as the
United States are concerned there is not
the least probability that they will under
take 10 pay any of Spain's debt incurred
in her efforts to retain her hold on Cuba
| But It is probable that they will insist
| that Spain shall pay all the claims which
American citizens have against her for
losses due to the failure to enforce the
laws in Cuba. The amount of these claims
is not yet known, but that ii is large is
admitted While, therefore, no indemnity
may be demanded from Spain she viii have
a big bill Of damages to pay before she
will be granted the peace for which she Is

The Price Went Up.

Here is a story that the late Frederick
Douglass used to tell about himself, says
the Buffalo Express. Once when he was
in Dublin he felt very lonesome. He was
wandering about the streets. when he was
attracted by two violinS in the window
Of a secondhand dealer. Frederick en-
tered and asked the price of one of the
instruments.
Five shiIings, sor," said the Irish
dealer
Frederick tuned the violin and began to
play Rocky Road to Dublin" Soon the
proprietors wife heard the music and en-
tered the rear door. Then Frederick start
ed in on THE Irish Washerwoman," and
the couple began to dance for dear life
When the music and dancing stopped FREQ
erick rendered the dealer five shillings, but
his performance on the violin had greatly
enhanced its value in the mind of the
storekeeper, and as he hurried away to a
place of security, he exclaimed:
If a black nagur can sit SIGH chunes
out of that fiddle. IN never sell it at any
price, begorrah'

Two Mnssachusetts spaniards

A well known Springfield builder was one
of many to take advantage of the cheap
fare to Montreal last week,
says the Springfield Republican
He was enjoying his din
ner one day sitting at the head of one of
the tables at the Queens Hotel when an
other Springfield man entered, taking the
seat at the farther end of the table There
was only a slight sign Of recognition be-
tween the two Springfield men, although
they are good friends when at home. The
newcomer soon startled the other guests at
table by shouting 10 the Springfield build
er: you are a SDaniard; get out" All
eyes We're turned on the innocent man,
who continued to eat. You're a Spaniard,
/ say and I want you to get out" repeated
the other fellow, and he kept it up until
Springfield man No. left the table meek
ly and went out on the street. His perse-
cutor followed and so did about everybody
In the dining room, expecting to see trou-
bic What they saw was two good-natured
Yankees shaking hands and making for
the nearest saloon to drink to the health
of the duped guests and the success of the
Stars and Stripes.

More Money to BE wasted.

If reports are true, the improvement of

rumors, will be used only so far as it

so much of the money of the many has
been spent for the benefit of the few. The

a COmmissiOne

The President has declined to make pub
lie the terms on which Spain can have
peace until they have been submitted to
the Spanish government, but there is not
much doubt that they are substantially as
they are stated in our dispatches this
morning; and they provide for a commits
sion to determine what shall be done
with the Philippnes-a commission com.
posed OF Americans and Spaniards. It
may he that we are not sufficiently we'll
informed in regard TO the situation to
justify US in forming an opinion, but 1t
seems to US that the government would
have saved Itself a world of trouble If it
had taken hold of the Philippine ques-
ton with firmness and vigor and presented
basis for its prompt settlement. The
people Will approve what the President has
done in respect to the Spanish possessions
in the West Indies and the provisions he
has made for coaling stations, if the re-
port as TO the terms submitted to Spain is
correct. but there win be a wide difference
of opinion as to the wisdom of his action
in respect TO the Philippines.
In the hands Of a commission the Philip
pine question will drag along for weeks
and months, thus inviting Interference
from European governments, and will be-
come a political issue greater, in all prob
ability, than any now before the country.
Were the President and his cabinet afraid
TO take a firm stand In regard to It? Were
they in doubt as to which course would be
the more popular, to abandon the Philip
pines or to insist upon possession Of
them, and hence, decided to leave the
question unsettled? 1t certainly looks that
way.
Great chances have to be taken in war.
The general who takes no chances wins
no victories. The same is true, to a great
extent, in diplomacy. In referring the
Philippine question TO a commission the
President has probably lost a chance to
strengthen himself with the people. If
he had demanded the philippines he could
have yielded them if he found that public
sentiment did not sustain him, and if he
had abandoned them the people, the great
majority being favorable to an honorable
peace and against policy that might in
volve the country in complication with
the Powers of Europe, would have ac-
quiesced in his decision. The occasion
called for a decision. The people want
something positive. A commission will
satisfy nobody The situation al Manila
is one that calls for immediate action. We
should get away from there or take pos
session at once. 1t looks as If the Presl-
dent and his cabinet were afraid they
might do what would be unpopular if they
did anything, and so they concluded to do
nothing by referring the matter to a com
mission.

AuuinnIho n Go1dhnr.

Here is Aguinaldo the insurgent leader
in the Philippines putting himself on
gold basis at the start OF his dictatorship.
says the New York Press. He wants
everything golden, even 10 the comb which
he drags through his kinky hair, and such
a thing as silver seems never to have been
known TO him, even in the shape Of small
change.
From the pronunciamento which Gen.
Aguinaldo has issued it is plain that he
knows of only one form of the 16-to-1 ra-
to- His idea is: Sixteen for me and one
for the rest of the gang, and let them
fight it out"
Outside of that, according to dispatches
from Manila, Aguinaldo wants nothing but
gold around him. In fact, it is reported
that when the rainy season sets in, any
slave who remarks, Every cloud has
silver lining" will be boiled in oil forth
with.
The Press has informed its readers that
the Jack Cade of the South Seas has out
lined his insignia as follows; A gold collar,
with gold triangular pendant, engraved
with a god sun and three gold stars;
gold whistle 70 be carried and a gold
walking stick, with a gold tassel.
But this necessarily brief dispatch gave
merely a brief outline of the auriferous
longings of the new Napoleon. His other
trappings, it is understood, will be as fol
lows:
One pair gold boots.
One suit cloth of gold underwear.
One set gold shirt studs.
Gold filling in his teeth.
one gold-lined chatting dish for helmet.
On top of this, one double yellow eagle.
When Aguinaldo opens his court-if
Dewey lets him--it is expected that the
atmosphere will, be aureate.
For Instance, the ladies of the harem
will all be golden haired.
When these ladies desire to dance the
music will not be furnished by brass
band. Nothing but a gold band will do.
Only gold-tip cigarettes will be smoked.
At dinner only golden Tokay will be
served, and the only fish win be goldfish.
Aguinaldo win pick his gold-1lled teeth
with toothpicks of golden wire, and just
before retiring to his golden dreams will
drink a dozen golden fizzes made by
bartender named Goldstein, from Gold
street, New York.
Finally, if the fortune of war should go
against the dictator, and he is condemned
to die he will put on his golden slippers
and climb the golden stairs.
There is only one form of gold which
Aguinafdo will refuse. He does not like
gold bricks.

Death of Bismarck.

Full of years and honors, loved and re-
spected at home and greatly esteemed
abroad, and easily the most prominent man
i'm Europe, Prince Bismarck yesterday
passed to his eternal rest. He was a great
man. The whole world admits that. And
his greatness was of the kind that viii
reach through centuries. When kings and
emperors who played a part in the world
affairs at the time he was a conspicuous
figure on the worlds stage, are forgotten,
his name will be a familiar one to the lips
OF men. In Germany he was regarded
with much the same respect and admira-
ton as Gladstone was in England. But
he was a greater man than Gladstone,
though not so great a scholar. He ex-
celled Gladstone as a diplomat and states
man. Indeed, he excelled all men of his
time In those respects.
From the time he entered the Prussian
parliament until he was made prince of
the empire, to the founding of which he
contributed so much his advancement
was such as to make it clear that he was
endowed in an unusual degree with the
qualities which are possessed by states
men of the highest type
Before the Franco-Prussian war he was
recognized in his own country as a man
of remarkable ability, and after that war,
when the German empire had been estab-
lshed, mainly through his efforts, the
whole world admitted his right to the
fame which he enjoyed.
The German people owe him much, and
they have not withheld from him the
praise he merited. To-day with fearful
eyes and sorrowing hearts they are recall
ing his services to Germany, and while
they mourn his death, they feel proud
that their country gave birth to so great
a man.
Marble monuments will be raised to
Prince Bismarck and the story of his life
win be told on tablets of bronze, but his
fame win be more enduring than marble
or metal 1t will last as long as history is
written.
