THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. %. 1ss 8

Mr.. HULL, of the republican congress
sional campaign committee, says the
chief issue OF the present political cam
paign is not the currency, or the tariff
or the conduct of the Spanish war, but
territorial expansion aud the retention
of all conquered lands, and that that Is
sue is advocated by the republicans and
will be supported to the uttermost ex'
tent of their power. For the good OF
the country it is hoped Mr.. Hull may
be correct, for, ignorant as the average
American voter is. it is hardly possible
for him to be So devoid of knowledge as
not to know that territorial expansion
is q rock on which many republican
ships of State have split, and that there
is no apparent reason why this one
should prove an exception to the rule.
Certainly the democrats should not OBJ
iect to making this issue the chief one
of the campaign, for, judging from all
indications, territorial expansion and
the large army and navy requisite to
defend it, are not as popular as the adj
vocates thereof vainly imagine them
to be.

IN THE town of Pana, Illinois, yes
terday, battle was fought between
large forces of white and negro labor
ers, armed with guns and pistols.
White, do not like to work side by side
and compete on equal terms with negro
laborers, but the latter, by law, being
free and equal citizens of common
country, demand all the rights, priv.
leges, and immunities of such, and will
accept nothing else, and certainly in
the State of the man who signed
tbs emancipation proclamation, they
should not be denied the poor privi'
lege of working for their living.

Miss Gertrude Coleman, the plaintiff,
was put on the stand in rebuttal OF

IT IS publicly announced at repuoll'
can headquarters in Washington that
the republican election fund is low, and
that consequently there is little or no
money for campaign purposes, certain
IL none for such purposes in the South.
All such announcements are the Verlest
gable, and, when read between tie
lines, mean that wherever there is a
fighting chance of electing a republic
can Congressman, Mr.. Hanna will sup
ply the requisite means for prosecuting
the campaign, and that the benefciaries
OF the war revenue bill and the army
and navy contractors will be glad to
pay all drafts that may be made upon
them for that purpose. In all such dis
tricts it behooves the democrats to be
constantly on guard, for money has g
most potential influence where suffrage
is unrestricted.

VIII at once recognize the possibilities
of such n story. The action passes at
about the time when Napoleon. after
having imprisoned the pope had a num-
Der of cardinals taken to Paris. Ono Of
these was Gonsaivi. the secretary o.
Plus. and II is from him that the play
gets its name. He IL was who. after
the emperor had divorced Josephine ard
married Maria Louisa Of Austria, per-
suaded his fellow cardinals TO refuse 60
attend the wedding ceremonies. Napo-
leon was enraged and sent Gonsalyi off
TO some little town, at the same tine
forbidding him to wear his red robes of
office.
Tho drama is caid by those who have
read the manuscript to abound in dra-
matte situations. not the least striking
OF which is Gousalvl's aourning Of

They Obeyed Orders.

It Is related OF Fanny Kemble that
she carried the tragic air OF the stage
into everyday affairs. While in Boston
she stopped at the fremont House ard
was accustomed to dine In her rooms
at o'clock. on one occasion the wait
err brought her dinner ten minutes 900
coon, and she made him take it away
until the hour had struck. on another
occasion she gave the servant GONE
clothes for the laundry.
when can these be returned to me,
washed and ironed?" she inquired.
1.-The day after tomorrow, madam. at
noontime."
BE 1t So" was the dramatic reply,
"at l. o'clock on Wednesday"
But on the hour appointed the clothes
had not been returned, and at ten min
utes past noon servant stood before
her in response to the short summons
of the bell.
MY clothes that were to be returned
at IL today-bring them
But, madam. we have not been able
to get them ready. owing to a difficulty
in the laundry. You shall have them
tomorrow"
Bring them now--they were prom
ised today"
Il know it. madam. but they are not
ready"
at matters not to me; bring them
just as they are"
The servant went out, and Il few mo-
ments later two men entered. bearing
tub full OF soapsuds and wet clothes,
set 1t on the floor and went out.

BROTHER AND SISTER.

One of the most unique as well as
pleasing things TO contemplate at the
present moment in the theatrical
world Is the ideal business arrange
ment existing between Miss Julia Ar
thur and her brother and manager,
Arthur Lewis. IL is seldom that sem
timent ever creeps into business. and
II is stil more seldom that whenever
1t does the two asslmllate
There is much In the unpublished
history of how the present arrangement
came TO exist between Miss Arthur and
her brother. and 1t might he no harm
If 1t were generally known by the pub
lie. for 1t might give higher opinion
OF stage people In general The recent
exploitation OF Miss Arthur as n star
by her brother has been the realization
CT an ideal which each mas cherished
for many years. It is also the result of
honest and well directed labor by each
Of them for that end in view-Miss Ar
thur in the realm of the drama and Mr..
Lewis in the paths of business. Each
has served a severe apprenticeship until
the justified rights of one as n star and
the other as n manager can be truth
fully said to have been earned. II was
interesting. too. to note that the debut
of each TO his or her ultimate aim was
made at the same monochrome as man.
ager and the other as star.
The congenial relations Of this re-
inarkable brother and sister have been
matter OF note to those who have
known them since their childhood Miss
Arthur showed this when, in her orlgi-
| nal entrance upon the stage. she chang
| cd the name OF Lewis to that of her
| brothers. given name, Arthur. 1t IL
surely n source of congratulation that
| their efforts have met with so much
success to each-the height of honest
fame and renown accorded to the sis
ter as star and the largest receipts OF
the present theatrical season accorded
| the brother as an acknowledgment that
his attraction is one Of the very stron-
gest on the road. Surely no one who
| knows either one intimately begrudges
them their good fortune, which. in this
case. is not fortune, but merited re-
| ward,

II Is pretty generally agreed that
while the present season has been
good one for the managers of this city
generally. 1t has so far been the worst
on record "on the road" In one week
recently there were no less than Il
companies which returned to New York
to "reorganize." which to the initiated
means to close. Stars who have always
been supposed to have a strong follow
ing throughout the country have played
to miserable business In many OF the
cities in which they expected to make
n great deal of money. while in the
bad towns. as an actor expressed 1t
to me the other day, there's no adjeo-
tive in the English language strong
enough to describe the attendance we
have not had" with the really impor-
tant attractions things have not been
quite so bad, but even they have not
done more than half so well as was ex-
| rected.
The reason?

doubted funmaking ability, and as their
methods are very similar, the scheme
seems to give more than the usual
promise of success,
1t is true that Flo has been n star
during the present season, that her
tour was piloted by the same firm which
had charge Of the affairs OF May. and
that despite all this she is generally be-
lleved not TO have made fortune for
her managers. But, after all. that is
not surprising, any more than that
Marie Dressler was not received
throughout the country with wild en-
thusiasm. Flo Irwin appeared in one
of her sisters old east offs" 1.-THE
Widow Jones'" while Miss Dressler
made use of another, "Courted Into
Court" Neither of these plays was
great work OF art in the first place.
and they won success only through the
aggressive personality Of May Irwin. Ii
Is barely possible that either of the 9TH
er ladies might have done the same
thing with them If they had had the
first chance. but after May Irwin had
squeezed them both dry 1t was foolish
to suppose that any one else could get
anything out of them. If, however,
Immediately after May shall have
struck a winner on Broadway, her sis
ter should be sent out over the terrific
ry which she does not want, there
would be very strong probability Of
success with the ultimate result that
Miss Flo would in time work up as good
clientele for herself as May now
has. The same would probably he true
OF Miss Dressler, for she is the equal Of
either of the others as laugh producer.

young woman who first came promi-

with the two prime essentials for light

starhood. and II is probable that she
was, although she has so far been kept
out of ii by combination OF circum-
stances over which her friends say she
