SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
Bernhardt's Clever Ruse.


A tale is told that when Sarah Bern
hardt was once playing La Dame aux
Camelias" in Milan, the audience did
not receive her in at all a friendly man
ner. The fact was they were upset be-
cause of the high prices asked FOR the
seats, and because the theatre was ILL
warmed. After the first long interval
was over they went so far rs to hiss
the famous actress when the curtain
rose on the second act. Sarah went on
with her role in apparent unconcern,
and when the act was over she called
to her maid and whispered some in
structions, whereuoOn the faithful abb
gail Immediately left the theatre In
few minutes she returned. and. just be-
fore the interview with Duval in the
third act, she passed something to her
mistress as she stood for an instant n
the wing before walking on The stage.
The play went on. Sarah seemed very
hoarse: she repeatedly cOughed and
cleared her threat, seeming in much
distress. Suddenly she put her hand
kerchief u0 to her mouth, and at the
same moment a crimson stream OF
blood burst from her lips. as she fell
headlOng into the arms of the actor who
was imperSOnating Duval. The curtain
was rung down and the terror-stricken
audience waited TO hear of the Door
creatures death, when the manager
stepped forward and declared that
Sarah would proceed after brief rest,
rather than they should be disa93oint-
ed. Loud was the applause when she
came on again, and the rest of the play
was q great triumohl After all, II was
very simple; Sarah had sent her maid
for a small bladder of red ink, which
she had bitten into, and SO produced
the alarming effect which completely
transformed her audience.

| ing dice for a senator and no one wins,
that is perfectly harmless gambling,
harmless to both you and the Souhlic.
The Tribune says that the members
CT the third state legislature are
a pack Of ninnies, who can only do
mischief when they work.
An assemblage of incomDetents who
have only sense enough to throw dice
for a senatorial choice.
A lot of ignoramuses, utterly incap-
able of making laws.
A lazy set, who have not taken the
trouble to ascertain what laws are al
ready in force.
A horde of blunderers who are stumb-
ling through legislation of which they
have not the slightest comprehension.
A disgraceful body-too indolent to
think. or too dishonest to earn their
pay.
All these things the Tribune says of
the present legislature. While Mr.. Lam
nan is. visiting the various senatorial
headquarters figuring up ANY old COM
bination to beat the Democrats Of Utah
out of their boots" his personal organ
is painting their portraits with brush
OF libel and colors of shame and -1di-
cule.
What You can't believe that the
Tribune. whose gratuitous advice to the
present legislature has been so hber-
ally given, whose warnings of Demo-
cratic members to beware of those who
have always stood by the party-you
can't believe it said such things?
In a leading editorial, day before
yesterday, the Tribune addressed itself
to the gentlemen of the legislature %
and said:
When you are playing at electing a
senator you are doing no mischief in
your regular work. As a rule the bills
you have thus far considered indicate
that, may be, it would be better if You
would exhaust the whole term in the
senatorial struggle. They indicate that
very many Of you have not yet taken
the trouble to find out what is in the
present laws, and whether the legisla- /
ton which you are stumbling through !
viii not be in conflict with salutary
general statutes now in force. Again, |
there are Indications that you do not |
always devote a good deal of thought /
to a measure before enacting it."
What does that mean, gentlemen of /
the legislature?
It means that the storm-starter is
trying to create the impression that (
the people OF Utah are not only law
breakers and Dledgebreakers, who /
elect men to office for the sole reason /
that such men are persistent law
breakers" but that the legislators of
Utah are fools and corruptiohists'' as
" ell That is what it means.
And yet the Tribune would have the
legislators think it is advising them for
their own good, for it tells them:
You are doing most satisfactory
work nowadays, especially as you ac-
complish nothing save to kill time"
And it concludes its rather remark
able roast OF the members as follows:
Hence we say to the gentlemen of
the legislature, do not be disturbed, you
are doing excellent work.

POLITICAL POO-BAHS.

II epithets were facts and vitupera-
ton argument. the Tribune would be
invincible. But its TRADES against the
people, against the legislatures of this
and adjoining states, against political
opponents. against contemporaries. are
little short of series of historical
shrieks interspiced with bilnngsgate
which is not so much offensive as child
ish
1t proves nothing except the despera-
ton Of our contemporary and the coarse
nature which is its inspiration.
Waving all its ill-humor which we
always expect and doubtless provoke.
let US pass to the questions our petu-
liant neighbor asks and consider them
in the spirit in which they are asked.
The Tribune inquiries:
rs it afraid the Tribune can defeat
a mighty Democratic majority in the
legislature?"
Not at all. But Mr. Lannan's organ
is showing the old familiar symptoms.
and it is the duty of Democrats TO warn
each other. a few years ago the Trib-
une acted very much as if it were try
ing TO break into the dominant church
in Utah. Since that time it has been
retailing fearful falsehoods about what
it saw on the inside 1t has made a
regular storm out of it. And now when
the same outfit. with a banner on which
the motto is inscribed. Anything to
beat the Democrats tries to -reak
into the Democratic party and tell
Democratic legislators what they've
got to do and whom they've got to
turn down, it is just about the time of
night for all Democrats in the vicinity
to wake up and shy a bootjack or a
brickbat at the political marauaer.
The Tribune couldn't defeat anything
except by joining forces with some &C.
organization or other; but.
as d tale-bearer. either in the nation or
the state, in sectarian. or political cir
cl5s, it is a me 1dlesome mischief maker.
little else. nothing greater, and has
nothing in common with Democracy or
the great majority Of the people of the
state.
It has misrepresented, maligned and
defed them. 1t is Just as well for Dem
ocraJs as for citizens generally to be
ware Of the chronic mischief-maker, |
thu storm-starter, the political free
booter, the organ whose colossal nerve !
induces it to attempt
/. To dictate the municipal appoint
ments Of a non-partisan administra-
ton.
?. To speak for the silver Republican |
g. To distribute the federal patronage
Of a national goldbug administration.
l. To designate whom the Democrats !
shall nominate in state and county |
;. To tell a Democratic legislature
hat it is fit for nothing but to throw
lice for senator.
It's motto, Anything to beat the
Democrats" is a good and sufficient
answer to its question
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-08
OTIS HAS BEEN TOO EASY.

General Merritt should have been al
lowed TO remain at his post in the
Philippines until the vote upon the
treaty had been taken.
He was called home by the incompe-
tent Alger, who desired to make use of
him, it seems, in his scheme Of revenge
upon General Miles for exposing the
rotten beef scandal.
The Hongkong Mail recently printed
an article from the pen of d British
shiDmaster which indicates that the
vacillating policy of the administration,
as well as the want of executive ability
at Manila encouraged abuses and inso-
lence among the natives.
American prohibition of Chinese i'm
migration, says the writer, has Grip
pied all business, for the Indian coolies
who have swarmed in are not the
equals of Cinnamon. All ships trading
TO various Philippine provinces have
had to take the American flag, but the
Americans only control the port of Ma
Mia Natives have levied a war tax on
ships of all flags that trade TO places in
their possession of 80 cents a regis
tered ton for every call made in their
ports. The American authorities, when
applied TO for relief, say: on muStn
pay such d tax. under pain of having
your ship confiscated." AS the Aneri-
cans have absolutely no authority out
side of Manila, the only recourse for
the shiDOwners is to tie up their yes
sells ana wait for the settlement of the
matter. With twenty thousand Amer
lean troops in Manila, the natives are
actually permitted to throw up en-
trenchments within half a gunshot of
the American lines.
General Otis needs the assistance of
officers of the experience and well
known executive ability possessed by
General Merritt or General Miles.
Recently Otis, ready TO concede any
favor asked by the Filipinos gave them
permission to navigate the bay at night,
among other privileges. But Dewey,
ever alert, ever equal to any emer-
gency in his line, promptly notified the
islanders that their craft would be re-
quired to keep out of the bay between
SUNS. He explained to General Otis
that he didn't propose to have TO main
tain q constant lookout for torpedOes,
and wasn't taking any chances what
ever with the insurgents.
How well time has proved Dewey's
sagacity. Otis has been too lenient en-
tirely.

BLESSINGS FOR FILIPINOS.
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
The treaty with Spain should have
been ratified Immediately. Without it,
how should we be able TO civilize and
ChristianiZe our Filipino brethren and
carry TO them the blessings of liberty
and government?
To do this we shall doubtless need
from 100000 10 100000 soldiers, and five
to ten years time. How should we have
obtained the necessary men except by
ratitying the treaty? 1t hardly looks
as i the. young men of the country
would volunteer rapidly enough. And
that old superstition, the constitution
of the United States, does not seem to
provide for drafting men to carry on
foreign war. But, with the Philip
pines q part of the country and under
its jurisdiction, there is no difficulty at
all. There will be no difficulty in Sc
curing provost marShals enough The
writer, though too old to be drafted into
military service, might be persuaded
to serve as provost marshal with its
emolumeslts. The president is author
lied to call out the militia, which in
Guides every able-bodied male citizen

lie can then call on each state to con-
tribute its quota. And, if the young
men Of any state are so unDatriotic
that they are unwilling to live upon
embalmed beef in the tropics, for the
sake Of forcing good government upon
those unregenerate sons of BeliaF' who
don't know good thing when il Is
crammed down their Threats, much less
when they see it. even if they have to
do it with Krag-Jorsense dynamite
shells and Calling guns, the president
has then but to appoint provost mar
shals and draft the necessary men
from each state to fill it's quota Such a
conquest Will, of course. cost something
but what do we get without cost? But,
as we raise our national taxes in this
country upon rich and poor alike. by
taxing the consumer, we shall not feel
it much.
The great mass of the people, the
farmers and workingmen who pay the
bulk of it. will never know what it
costs them. The wisdom of this sYs-
tenn is apparent, since great eXpendi-
lures can be made without im9airing
the accumulated wealth of the country.
Very likely very many of these Fill
pinos Will never appreciate the great
blessings of Christian civilization which
we are about to confer uDon Them TIL
they have fried a few aeons in hades.
but. having done our duty by them, we
can leave the consequences to?
