popularity, which had continued for a
comparatively long time. Minnie Pal
me- had a brief period of great favcr.
No successor has eve come to follow
in the footsteps of these fortunate wo-
men. and an echo of the last attempt to
establish such an actress was heard in
court the other day. The money adj
varced to place her properly before
the public was lost entirely. Yet she
was a clever woman VINO might readily
enough have found success in those
days I'm which actresses of her kind
were liked. There could be no claim Of
the complete decline of such talents.
There are plenty of women on the stage
to-day quite as clever as their prede-
c%essors. and just as well qualified to
undertake roles of any kind that those
VIII went before them could act well.
Virginia Earle, for instance, could be a
successful actress of hat kim II the
public ever again cared for the kind.
But that is not likely to occur. The
old plays which exploited these ac-
tresses were usually very crude efforts
of a kind that o not be tolerated
to-day. The disappearance of this type

Gates an advance in stage art. Just as
the ~aracter with song have
dropped out of the contemporary
drama. so have the soubrettes who
used to be the leading figures in the old
plays. and suddenly i'm the midst of a
serious drama or a comedy drop into
singing or dancing. Placed to-day i'm
farce and bu~rlesque. they are more ar
tistically arranged. Possibly If Della
Fox had lived 30 years ago she would
have been an actress of the type hat
was best represented by Lolita. She
might have been the leading figure in
Sue an impossible affair as THE Lit
tie Detective" or In some of the other
curious dramas which used to be writ
ten for these actresses. But she hap
pens to be in burlesque and comic OPP
era now because audiences no longer
care to see inartistic n crude combi-
nations of different kinds of dramatic
writing that went to make up a play in
those days. Such pieces as The Cir
Gus Girl are wholly farcical. and make
no p%retense to verify or possibility. So
singing and dancing in them Is not In
the slightest degree inappropriate. But
their Introduction in the old plays. with
the corresponding slice of pathos prob

from the present point of view, quite

IT is said that thoughts are
things that can be projected. Itis
upon this theory that telepathy is
explained. 1t is reported that
many of the sailors on board the
battleship. Maine, had Impressions
a short time before the explosion
that some dreadful thing was going
to happen. May this not be ac-
counted for upon the theory that
the thoughts of those engaged in
the plot reached the sailors of the
ill-fated ship and thus gave them
the Impressions they claim to have
had? 1t is always safe TO heed
these Impressions or premonitions

The appintment of Horace G.

Since that time gold has been conn.,
PEELED to do the work of both gold
and silver as redemption money.
That increased burden has pro-
duced increased demand for gold.
and that increased demand has
produced increased value OF that
metal. Increased value of the
measure means decreased price Of
things measured; hence falling
prices.
How long are the American peo-
pie to listen to such nonsense? Our
currency does not depend upon
gold or silver for its value and has
not since 1861. Mr.. Shafroth's
argument would have had some
force forty years ago when the
currency was on a specie basis, but
1t has none when applied to gov
ernment issue. The uses to which
our currency Is put, both by law
aEl common consent, gives to it
Its value. The jugglery of spe-
Gle basis has nothing to do with
the value of our currency further
than t" reduce or limit its volume,
Our monetary system las long
since passed beyond the specie
basis theory in fact and in practice
and 1t is ;ime it were discovered as
a worn out fallicy. The volume Of
money governs aud not the mate
rial of which 1t as made.

JOHN G. BELL is proving himself
to be congressman that his party
should feel proud OF. He is a
hard worker and watches every
movement made by the agents of
the money centers. The defeat of
certain portions of the bankruptcy
bill-which puts the average coun.
try merchant at the mercy OF the
wholesalers-was largely due to
the earnest work Of John Bell.
Bells speech exposing the corrup-
ton OF our government in high
places ought to be read by every
citizen in tho country. That
speech proves that De LONE, the
Spanish minister, told the truth
when he wrote to his friend:
Mckinley is weak and catering

"Ex-Senator Ransom is one oi

bales. His sons rank among the
best farmers in the State. They
keep up quite closely with thei1
crop in the matter of picking
Some one asked the other day
what Senator Ransom was worth

thing like a million dollars. Tt
divide these figures in half will

Pearson Will Contest.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Con-
gresham Pearson has notified
Hon. W. T. Crawford that he
will contest his right to seat in
the Fifty>Sixth Congress from
the Ninth District. Crawford is
elected by 238 plurality.
Mr.. Pearson, in explaining his
grounds of contest, uses some
lurid language and calls North
Carolina's chief magistrate a
nondescript Governor, which
throws some light upon Mr.
Pearson's feelings at the time he
met Governor Russell in the lob>
by of the Senate last week, when
both bowed in the stiffest man.

Mr.. Pearson says: 81 cannot
submit to the methods resorteo
to at this election for the frs
time in my dist1ict-methods
which no honorable Democra
will attempt to justify or ex'
cuse." Hence his contest. AS Mr.
Crawford justities his course, i
remains to be seen whether ht
or his friends will remain siIen
under this stigma
