One by one the European powers,
which once held dominion in the west
ern hemisphere, are being driven out
altogether or reduced in their colonial
possessions. When the colonies revolt
ed against British rule and gained their
independence they freed the best part
OF the northern hemisphere from Euro
pean grasp. France was forced out OF
Canada and Mexico, and sold Louisiana
TO the United States because she could
no longer hold it herself. Alaska was
sold to US by the Russians. The Dutch
drove out the Swedes and the English
drove out the Dutch. One by one the
colonial possessions on this side OF the
water are slipping out Of the grasp OF
the Spaniards and setting up govern
ments OF their own. France and Hol-
land are reduced to small holdings in
South America. Great Britain still ex-
ercises dominion over a large expanse
OF territory. She profited by the un-
merciful drubbing administered in 1776
and now treats her colonies witt
greater consideration, but the time VII
come when Canada will. declare its in
dependence Of British rule and either
set up republic or come into th'
United States. The other possession
OF Great Britain are in Central Amer
ica and South America and will prob
ably remain hers much longer thai
Canada will. Under the Monroe doc
trine no European power can com
over here and make a land-grab with
out taking into account a war with thi
country. With everything going an
nothing coming it cannot be many cen
turies before European power will be
come a thing OF the past in the Ne
World.

E. Rose and Stanley Weyman drew

Immediately wrote a reply, in the course
Of which he said: ct is always unfor-
tunate when one composer has to be
bolstered up by depreciating another.
Certainly in one thing Smith and De-
Koven might we'll initiate Gilbert and
sullivan. 1t was among their prin-
cipleS never to allow a woman to ap-
pear on the stage in mems clothes, nor
to permit one to appear in an indecent
or unnecessarily abbreviated costume,
nor to allow any character to give ut
terance to any word or phrase which
would not be permitted in an assem-
blage of ladies and gentlemen. These
good principles went far to help the
success of their operettas."
Paul Meurice, according to an Eng
lish correspondent in Paris, is the only
dramatic author, certainly of modern
times, who has delayed his debut to
the age of so. His name has appeared
on the bills now and then as a col
laLorator with playwrights of a past
generation, but "Struensee," just pro-
duced at the Theater Francois, is the
first work for which he can claim sole
responsibility. Hewas once very near
to achieving this distinction in the
early days of the Second Empire, when
he wrote for the Porte Saint Martin"
a spectacular piece portraying the
glories of historic France up to the
close of the eighteenth century. The
Censor refused to sanction the play un-
less the great Emperor figured therein,
