Edward E. Rice's production Of the
latest English novelty-''The Ballet
Girl" comes direct from its successful
run in Boston and New York, to the
New National Theatre, next week.
"The Ballet Girl is musical comedy
in two acts. by Jas. T. Tanner, the author
Of THE Circus Girl" The lyrics are
by Adrain Ross, and the music by Carl
Kiefert. with some bright additions by
Mr.. hRice
This play differs essentially from the
majority OF its English predecessors
with the feminine titles, from the fact
that it tells a consistent and continuous
story, a pretty live story. at that, with
tendrils Of affection shooting out from
the parent stalk in every direction
emmeshing its principal characters in a
web Of grotesquely humorous compiled.
tions which are always funny and never
suggestive
There IS a plentitude oil gorgeous
costumes. picturesque scenery, many
droll ditties and appealing ballads and
much spirited dancing, always attended
by that atmosphere OF activity and
effervescence which has made Mr., Rice's
productions stand 'pre-eminent and
alone at the head and front OF all oftbeir
class in this country. THE Ballet GirPj
in its present American form is the most
thoroughly up-to-date production OF its
class now before the public. Mirth
melody. beauty and music are harmoni-
ously blended, and the performance in
its entirety is conceded to be the bright.
est, brsinlest, Jolliest, and most fasci-

The company which will be seen here

The Appointment of Negroes

to high and important positions in
the South by Mr.. Mckinley is a
great mistake and a challenge to
an exercise Of a prejudice that ex-
lists in the North as we'll as in the
South. Mr.. Mckinley would not
even appoint in Boston a negro
collector OF the port as he has Just
done at the principal city OF Geor-
gia.
II rs also a severe blow to the
white Southern Republicans when
MIR. Mckinley thus draws the color
line against them, and actually
places the negro above the white
1t may be a political movement
but it will not pay in the end
That policy will not place Mr.
Mckinley a second time in the
White House.

The Lodge Bill

is to come up on the 18TH inst. We
hope that it will, and that il will
be voted down and killed forever.
Whilst we do not, nor do we
want to. represent the German
American papers, we have ire
quently reflected their wishes, and
that in a language which our leg
islators understand. We can say
that we never found them as unan-
imously and firmly opposed to
any measure as now to the
Lodge immigration bill. Hence
we presume that, as those pap
ers are edited by men of char.
acter who are faithful to the
best interests OF the emigrants
and will not support the enemies
OF the latter, nor forsake their
friends, that at the next elections
they will counsel their readers to
vote against the Republican party
and defeat it. We have told
Speaker Reed that, If he wants to
be elected Speaker of the next
House, the Republican party must
not pass the Lodge bill.
Our German American editors,
though they may differ on the
money question, will never sell
liberty. With them the latter
comes first; all other considera.
tons are always subject to this
great live issue.

The sad story of spain.

The graphic picture Of the terri
torial decline OF the colonial EN-
pire OF Spain in the Western Hem
isphere published in the WOrldlast
Monday has been supplemented
by the record Of its losses from
year to year as told in its news
columns of Wednesday,
Not since the downfall oi the
Roman Empire has there been
such a story ofthe rise to greatness
and the tall to helplessness Of a
great power. tits one Of the stIik.
ing condolences OF history that if
Spain TO- day finds itself menaced
with the loss of its last American
possessions through conflict with
the greatest OF American republics,
the beginning of the power OF Spain
may be dated from the year I492,
IN which the discovery Of Colum-
bus led to the ultimate establish
ment of the United States.
The year which gave the West
ern Hemisphere to Spain witnessed
the expulsion of the Moors from
Grenada and made the peninsula
one united country. Its first King,
Ferdinand Of Aragon, whose mar
riage with Isabella oil CASTLE in
46o marked the beginning OF a
real Spanish kingdom, was also the
last Spanish King, for at his death,
in 1916, the succession passed into
the line ofthe Hapsburgs, with sad
and melancholy consequences for
the civilized world.
During the four hundred years
of its rise and fall its inVariable
record has been one OF cruelty, OF
persecution, Of bigotry, ofhostility
to every sentiment OF human free
dom, common justice and enlight-
eminent. The slavery TO which
it doomed it's subjects in the
Western Hemisphere was not
more cruel than its oppression
OF the people Of Holland
or its tyranny over its own
people at home. The bigotry, the
fanaticism, the intolerance and the
gloomy superstition Of its tone oi
mind is unrelieved by one single
CLEAN OF recognition OF human
rights, just as the disgracetul rec
ord Of its decay and downfall is
unrelieved by one single tri-
umph Of genius in states
manship or OF prowess in battle
against an armed enemy.
One by one Spain's possessions
have fallen away like bricks from
a mouldering wall, until to-day it
stands alone and isolated, bank.
rupt in resources, helpless and ex-
hausted, but still clInging to thai
policy OF cruelty, OF oppression and
determination which has been its
only known method OF dealing
with Morisco and Aztec and Inca
and HoIlander-and Cuban-and
which after four hundred years
has finally forced it to confront the
Republic OF freedom, of equality,
OF justice, OF humanity, Of civiliza-
ton.
1t is not accident or chance which
has brought about the present sit
uation. 1t is inexorable destiny
which DEGREES that the last ol
Spain's i'll gotten possessions in
this hemisphere should be lifted to
freedom by the one Republic which
represents everything that Spain
has antagonized during her whole
history.

THEATRICAL.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the most
poetic and eloquent orator the American
nation has ever produced, will deliver
his magnificent tribute to Shakespear at
the National Theatre, Sunday evening,
March r3. He has given many eloquent
and beautiful discourses in his long and
successful career on the lecture platform,
but none have the fire. poetry and
beauty of this eulogy Of the Bard Of
Avon. The Kansas CITY Times in
speaking ofits delivery in that city not
very long ago comments as follows:
"The magic of Col. Ingersolrs name
drew an audience OF over two thousand
people to the Auditorium last night, who
sat in wonder under the ceaseless spell
Of his eloquence. He was in splendid
voice. In his eqening dress he pre-
sented picture of manly power and
heroic grace. He made few CLUSTERS. bat
when he added action to description
the picture was almost as vivid and
much more appealing and string than
if seen upon the canvass. AT times he
Wed with the great master whose genius
he extOlled. He was the poet, orator
and humanitarian in one. The poetry
OF his utterance. the splendOr Of his
imagery, the music OF his voice, COM
bined in eloquence as restless as the sea.
The burst of applause was spontaneous
frequent and oftimes prolonged"

Without exaggeration, the Byrne
Brothers are presenting one of the best
pantomimic and acrobatic shows on the
road. True. some of the features are
not new, notably that representing the
cabin of the rolling ship, but the act is
smooth and yet so comical that it will
bear repetition once a season. The
Byrne Prothers are artists Of the first
quality. They are supple and graceful
acrobats and accomplished pantomim-
lists. The entertainment is to be COM
mended for the good taste which marks
every feature of it. The costumes are
appropriate, the scenery unique, and the
dialogue reduced to a minimum though
what there is of it is always acceptable.
There are no coarse jokes, suggestive
illusions or questionable pranks such as
sometimes spoil acrobatlc performances.
The incidental music is pretty. The
company is thoroughly adequate.
The specialties are ingenious and
amusing to a degree. No maudln
melodrama is introduced. and conse-
quently there are no silly lines and
painful situations to endure. The John
Byrne troupe of acrobats give an act
hard to duplicate.
