to Repeal Metropolitan Police Law.

When the legislature assemblies it will
be interesting to note the progress of
the effort to have the metropolitan po-
lice law repealed. There will be a con-
test between the Republican house and
the Populist senate upon this PROPOSE
ton.
F. B. Dawes, who will probably be q
member Of the house, despite his small
majority in Leavenworth county, is
pledged to introduce a bill to repeal this
law and said:
TT will be the first measure which
will present and will have 1t ready on
the opening day"
A Populist leader said: ''It will never
do to permit the Republicans to get the
honor Of repeating this law and we
must start it in the senate"

From NeV FORK Voice, Prohibition.
Champagne and high wines will be
served at the Cabinet dinners and at
state functions at the White House dur
ing the social season beginning with the
New Year. This statement is authori-
tative and comes from the Cabinet circle.
For some time the question has been
discussed, and considerable pressure
was exerted to get the Cabinet leaders
to abolish the use OF wines at these iunc-
tions on the ground that the Admins
tration, through the President, was
committed to the cause of temperance.
The discovery however, that wine had
been used at the White House IN honor
OF the Canadian premier, Sir Wilfrid
Lawson, when he was in Washington
attending the sealing conference, de-
cided the question.
It was argued in favor of the continu-
ance OF the wine custom that the diplo-
matte circle would be offended il they
were invited to functions where there
was nothing to drink, and that inasmuch
as the President himself had served wine
at his own table, there was no reason
why the leaders Of the Administration
should not do likewise.
So wine is to be used at all dinners and
entertainments given by the members
of the Cabinet, and the good things said
of the President in this connection ear
lier in the administration will have to be
taken back or greatly qualified.
Not since Mrs. Hayes presided in the
White House has there been any at
tempt to abolish the use of wines anc
liquors at Administration dinners anC
social entertainments, and the absolute
surrender of the present Administration
! to what is merely a society dictum i
excused in this instance on the grounC
that doing otherwise might offend th'
diplomatic representatives of fOreigI
/ governments.

An Option to Trade On

The news from the Far East con-
tinues, says the Financial Record,
to be OF especial interest. Itefects
foreign markets and causes much
apprehension, in European coun-
tries, of complications which may
lead to war 1t appears not only
that Russia has Port Arthur by
possession as well as by treaty with
China, but that she has the other
ports which England and Japan are
talking OF occupying and also the
territory taken possession Of by
Germany, and which the Armada
sent out by the German Kaiser is
designed to take into permanent
possession. When Germany made
this move the tone OF the Russian
press.was very hostile and hot talk
was abundant. This has since then
changed. The Russian press is
now talking of an alliance with
Germany.
The explanation Of the situation
does not seem to be very difficult.
Enough has already developed to
show that Russia, in China's one
hour OF supreme need, coming to
her relief as against Japan, took,
in consideration, general blanket
option on pretty much any terri
tory she wanted on the Chinese
coast. All this b. secret treaty,
portions Of which are disclosed as
the necessity arises. In other
words, Russia took an option to
trade on. So far as Germany is
concerned, Russia will doubtless
agree to let Germany in. It will
also develop that Russia has an
option on little land that France
may desire--and France will get
it on call. There may he little
for Italy. In fact, some for all who
can be useful to Russia, or who
might combine with Great Britain
and Japan, or either Of them.
On the other hand, Great Britain
has for an ally IN the Orient the
Kingdom OF Japan. Japan has a
great naval force in Eastern waters.
The trouble with japan, how
ever, is that she may prove very
troublesome and dangerous ally,
because not tractable nor subject
to control by any power save her
own impulses. Great Britain S
present efforts are TO pull this Coun-
try into an alliance with herself
and Japan on Eastern questions.
The situation in Asia is one oi
great danger, so far as Europe is
concerned. SO far as the United
States is interested, its safest pol
icy is its traditional policy--to
look on. However it goes, il Will
bring grist to our mill. So far as
It promises anything, in the near
future, it is that we will continue

for one'week, with usual matinees, is the
strongest farce comedy on the road to-
day, the company numbering forty
people, half oi,whom are clever vaude'

press in full operation, typesetters and
the much abused printers devil. A
very funny incident occurs at the climax
of this act. "No matter, no natter

That dne actor and ami BILE gentle

he will offer his latest comedy, "A Vir-
ginia Courtship." The play brings with
it many strong recommendations and in
