aIrNcIE TnMs CARIN.u

Il is, without doubt, the finest Ameri-
can drama ever written, and holds a
place in the heart of every American.
This great drama, at Niblos Garden,
New York. in 1879. proved the crown
ing success of the year. For nearly
twelve months, thousands were turned
away nightly, unable to get admit
tance, and the card Standing Room
Only" met the view of the late conner.
It's success having proved so great
throughout this country, induced an
enterprising manager to venture on its
presentation in England. 1t was pro-
duced in London, where it took the
citizens of the worlds metropolis by
storm, and continued to be the popular
dramatic attraction for a long season.
From London it was taken/tO all the
principal cities and towns in England,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and in
all places il received the hearty APP
proval Of the people AL. w. Martin
will present this drama in all its old
time beauty at the Grand Opera House
Monday, matinee and night, with q
company of sixty people, including the
famous minstrel star, Milt. G.. Barlow

"HAIlF A KING. y

Among the funny men OF the sage
who are now helping in their generally
vigorous way to tighten the pulblic's
burden of care and worry, Francis
Wilson's connection with the variety
of theatrical entertainment called
comic opera is probably purely acci-
dental, the result of the popular fancy
for musical farce which was either Gre
ated or developed by the first joint eff
fort of Gilbert and Sullivan. Comic
opera has been to American theatri-
Gals since 1880 what comic pantomime
and burlesque used to be, and Mr.. VIII
son, in nearly all that time, has been
one of the ablest and most popular eX-
ponents, which means that comic opera
is not essentially and fundamentally
musical. In "Half a King" which
comes to the Opera House April l6, the
cultivation and refinement of Wilson
shows in his work.

almost as severely as the peach buds
did Two weeks ago, so the Wayfarer
is told, he took his best girl, deli
cate, light-haired, ethereal young crea-
ture, out riding. She complained of
being cold, and he, in fit of gallantry
since regretted, took off his dark Win

When the couple arrived in Whining
ton the overcoat was gone, and young
Hodgman concluded that it was too
late m the season to purchase another;
hence the manner in which the late
frcss took him completely by surprise.

1T belongs to a family which is al

family will stay In a house for a
month or two, and then, in Difference to
the wishes Of his wife, will move to an
other one. Having resided there for a
long time they have occupied nearly
every house on the Banks. The cat has

"a Southern Romance" which will
be produced at the Opera House to-

and pride, but very originally told. The
scene of the piece is laid in Kentucky.
"A well-bred girl has been betrothed by
her financially embarrassed father to a
wealthy, but rather commonplace,
young man. She loves her fathers
gardener and elopes with him. Later,
the supposed gardener proves to be a

The Parole system.

n MICHIGAN is trying the parole
M system and it isn't working
well at all. The very first man
released under the law was given
position as shipping clerk by the state
Itself. and as soon as he had made him
self solid with his surroundings he stole
a lot of furniture, and subsequently
stole bicycle Most of the others who
have been released on parole have
proved themselves unworthy, and there
is a growing sentiment that the law is
a bad one and ought 10 be repealed.
However the Detroit Tribune thinks
that sit cannot be said that the law is
a failure until it is shown whether or
not the application of the law has been
at fault. II the governor has given the
paroles promiscuously, on the simple
Importantly of parents and friends, on
the demand of political associates, on
the mere crocodile promises of the con-
viets to reform: and if he has not given
them by reason of some pointing in
the character of the recipients them
selves. then the governor and not the
law is at fault"
The law gives the Michigan governor
authority to exercise the parole in his
discretion. The theory of the law is
that not all conviets are fit subjects for
parole but that some of them are. The
trouble Is To pick the right material.
Good behavior in prison is by no means
a test of convict's character. Charles
Reade has shown how that works in
Never Too Late to Mend" The
smoothest crooks are the most dOcile in
confinement. they know well that it is
greatly to their interests to obey the
prison rules and "be good" even to the
point of processing religion. The gov
ernor, of course. cannot make detailed
personal examinations. He must rely
on what the prison authorities tell him.
And the prison authorities may be sus-
ceptible to the same improper influences
to which the Tribune suggests the gov
ernor may have yielded The parole
system has many advocates among
philanthropic people, it is said to have
worked satisfactorily in other places
where it has been tried. But all ac-
counts agree that in Michigan so far il
has proved failure.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-01-31

to have this broad principle proclaimed
1T is that the obligations of the gov
eminent are lawfully paid when they
are paid in coin-gold or silver. The
plain proposition of silvers advocates
is that indisputab1y silver was the peer
of gold before wrong legislation robbed
silver of its function. They hold that
If this wrong legislation is undone and
silver is restored TO its legitimate
function. it will be the peer and par of
gold again. So that, if the slverites
are rlght--and surely under all the ar
gument of recent years they have as
good reason to claim they are right as
the goIdbugs have--if the silverites are
right, the proposition that 'one dollar
is the equal of another dollar will be
the self-evident self demonstrated
truth-it will not be remotely depend
emit on "A resolution passed or unpassed
in congress.
AS we understand it, the passage OF
the Teller resolution involves no con-
spracy or plot or threat. Rather, 1t Is
simply reminder TO the forces i'll the
Mckinley administration that every
dollar of debt represented in the bonds
of the United States was incurred un-
der promise to pay every dollar under
the exact terms of the Teller resolution
and that the option to pay in gold or IN
silver rests with the government. IT 1t
be said that silver is not as good as
gold, the silverites assertion is, re
ctorp silver tn the full money and re-
demption function it enjoyed when the
debt was incurred and the silver Will be
as good as the gold"

MONDAY, JANUARY 81, 1898.

@Y this time the Spanish newsp pa
TX pers that found new cause for
trouble in the Names presence
at Havana must realize that they We're
ridiculously in the Wrong. Arrived at
Havana the Maine went scrupulously
through all the motions that are, under
the code, incumbent on warships when
they enter a friendly harbor-the saiut-
ing and shooting and display of bunting
were all of the regulation sort. In fact,
the Maine acted just as the German and
French cruisers will act when they get
in sight of MORO castle. And Spain
is going to be as polite about
it as the United States. This
country's ports are about to be
visited by a Spanish warship, and those
who know all the niceties of interna-
tional etiquette call attention to the fact
that the visiting ship is to be a battle
ship of seven thousand tons displace-
ment-just about the measure of the
Maine. So it's all as peaceful and har-
monious and cordial as warships can
make it. If they keep the Spaniards on
board ship while in American ports
perhaps it would be as well; the sailors
on the Maine are not TO be given shore
leave at Havana.
