The following is from an interview with
Chauncey NJ. Depew in Chicago:
Mckinley is certain 10 receive a. renomi-
nation for the presidency He is the en-
bodiment of Republican principles and no
one can supersede him in the present lead
ersnip OF his party. Even If the Democrats
should be successful in the coming congress
slonal elections, McKinley's standing with
Republicans would remain the same
So far as this relates to Mr.. McKinley's
present standing before the country and in
popular estimation it is undoubtedly true.
Predictions are always more or less unsafe.
1t is nearly two years till the next presi-
dental nomination, and something unfore-
seen may happen to change the current of
events But without entering the field of
prediction it is safe to say that If nomi-
nation were to be made tomorrow Mr.. Nc
Kinley would be named by an overwhem-
ing majority, perhaps by reclamation, and
would receive a much larger popular vote
that he did two years ago. There are two
reasons for this. First. he has shown him
self to be a stronger man and more of
statesman than even his best friends
thought him two years ago, and, therefore,
has grown steadily in public estimation;
and, second the unfair, unpatriotic and I'M
American attacks which are being made on
his administration and his prosecution Of
the Spanish war to successful end, with
a loss of life less than that of any war re-
corded in history, have made him host
of new friends. 1t is true, as Mr.. Depew
says. that President Mckinley sis the en-
bodfment of Republican principles" but he
is something more. In the present situa-
ton he is the embodiment of American
principles. Abraham Lincoln in the midst
or at the close of the civil war was not
more distinctly the embodiment of the idea
of national unity and integrity than Presi-
dent Mckinley is to-day of national ex-
pansion and progress on territorial, po-
litical and commercial lines. If President
Lincoln, backed by the Northern people,
convinced the world that the union of the
states was indestructible. President McKin-
ley, backed by the people of the South and
of the North. has demonstrated our ability
to cope with foreign enemies on sea as well
as on land. and our readiness to assume
any responsibility, no matter how great,
that Providence may put upon us. In this
respect, therefore. he is the embodiment
not merely of Republican but of American
principles. We greatly mistake the temper
of the American people if this feeling shall
not find expression next month in the cleo
ton of a Congress strongly representative
of the principles and policies which Mr..
Mckinley represents. We cannot believe it
possible that the people will start the Ma
ton on course of retrogression, besmrch
its honor and hazard the results of its VIC
torious war with Spain by electing Con-
gress opposed to the present occupant of
the White House.

It is intimated in several statements that
pany and the City Company arrange their
differences the street-railway question will
be settled. Such an opinion ignores another
interested party, the people of indianapolis.
They own a franchise, and it is worth a

the franchise in lower fares or an annual

The action of the administration in fixing
a definite time for Spanish control in Cuba
and Porto Rico to cease is wise and bust
ness like. The date fixed for Porto Rico is
Oct. IS and that for Cuba Dec 1. 1t is not
supposed that all the Spanish troops or civil
functionaries in either island will have left
by that time, but from and after that date
they will have no authority or control. On
those dates, respectively, all the custom
houses in both islands will be taken possess

made it famous last year. NJ. Rostand is
no doubt poet and artist of a high order,
the text of the play in the original being
full of fine lines and of wit and sentiment.
In spite of the fact that the TRANSACTIONS,
two of which are now being used in stage
presentations, are partly in prose, partly
in blank verse. critics profess to detect
much literary merit in them, while much
laudation is expended on the dramatic stu
atoms and the unique and romantic char

new, being the infatuation of a man of no.
BILE qualities for woman of the frivolous,
shallow sort. He is in every way to be adj

brave, he is dashing reckless, brilliant,

existence of a huge nose. The lady whom

hero is constantly on the stage and his
lines seem TO constitute the greater part of
the play. Only a great actor can succeed
with it, and in spite of the unstinted praise
there is an undercurrent of comment that
leads the discerning reader of newspapers
to suspect that even the best of actors leave
something to be desired at least in render

of the critics: it is the play that every one
must see, because it is the theatrical event

Juror about ii now is by no means an indi-
cation that "Cyrano'' will be played next
year. However. that is neither here nor
there The fact that play of this really
high character is drawing the multitude is
encouraging in this age of vaudeville. 1t is
not the serious dramatic art that Mark
Twain recommends for occasional moral and
mental refreshment. but 1t is at least an adj
vance on recent popular drama, and for that
reason, if for other, should be welcomed.

The question of profit in sugar-beet Gull
ture was lately discussed by a farmers as
ISOLATION in Pennsylvania whose members
had been experimenting with beets with
view to raising them for sugar factories.
The conclusion was reached that the cost of
growing beets was greater than that of
raising corn; that beets alone not
wholesome food for cattle but corn and
sugar beets together are very nourshing;
finally, that it is much more profitable to
raise sugar beets and feed them than to
sell them at s. a ton for making sugar.
Farmers in Indiana and other parts of the
country have been making similar expert
ments. and considerable disappointment has
been expressed recently because the free
admission of Cuban, Hawaiian and Philip
pine sugar will probably interfere with the
projected establishment OF sugaF-beet fac

WRATH TURNED ASIDE.
Harry Lloyd Was Indignant, but Got
Over IL.

Great Falls, Dec. 25.-Among the
Christmas gifts OF a semi-public nature
was that in the Phelps building last
night. During the evening a warrant
for the arrest OF Harry Lloyd on the
charge Of malicious mischief was is
sued from the justice court of w. Il.
Burleigh. which is located in the build
ing. Lloyd is the janitor and when he
reached the court room in the care OF
the constable he found all of the law
yers who have chambers there assem-
bied and the judge at his desk. He was
indignant ali the way through, n
when told that the charge was based on
the taking of valuable papers from diff
ferent Offices and destroying them he
turned white with anger and denied
that he had ever taken them or after
ward destroyed them as the complaint
charged. The court appointed w. II.
Smith to defend him. but he refused to
have anything to do with a lawyer.
Then he was told that the complaint
had been issued or a petition. He would
not read the petition and finally Attor-
ney Smith read IL to him, when he dis
covered that he had been hoaxed and
the petition was nothing but a sub
scription list by which the various ten
ants of the building who have been the
recipients of numerous favors from him
had Clipped in to give him a little pres
ent of $50 in currency. Lloyd was over
