LOOKS LIKE COULTER.
Will Probably Be Elected Department
Commander-G. A. R. En-
camnmant News

Hutchinson, Kan, April 26.-Hutchin-
son is full of Grand Army men, and the
prospects so far promise an unusually
large attendance. The Topeka crowd,
headed by Major Tom Anderson, ar
rived last evening and it is understood
are united in the interest of Major o.
H. Coulter for department commander.
On the surface it appears that the editor
of the Western Veteran will have
walkaway.
The friends of Mr.. Pagan, the oppos-
ing candidate, say, however, that they
have the assurance of a strong support,
and that they are going to win.
The Topeka crowd will not try to Sc
cure the reunion this year, but will
concentrate their strength toward elect
ing their candidate for department COM
mander. Holton and Concordia are the
only candidates for the reunion so far
announced.
The encampment opens up lively to-
day, all of the organizations holding
business sessions until noon. Yesterday
the council of administration of the G.
A. r. received the report of the assist
ant adjutant general and assistant
quartermaster general which are be-
ing audited by committees.
The first members of the Sons OF
Veterans encampment arrived yester-
day and include large delegations from
Brownell, Great Bend, Russell and
other western towns. The division COM
mander, John Redmond of Burlington,
and staff came on No. last evening,
accompanied by the greater part of the
eastern delegates.
The only candidate announced for
commander of the Sons of Veterans is
L. B. Price of Mulvane. There Is plenty
of material for the other offices, but no
active candidates.
The Sons of Veterans and Ladies' Aid
society have headquarters at the Bruins
wick hotel.
The boys and girls of the city schools
will line up this afternoon along Main
street and greet the old soldiers with a

DRIVEN TO THE LAST DITCH.

The Republican campaign committee
has retreated from one redoubt to an
other. 1t has reached it's last ditch and
seems determined to make a final stand
in Parley's canyon
Ezra's campaieners started out with
the declaration that taxes had been in
creased under a Democratic admins
uation. This was a falsehood so easily
controverted that they dropped it like
a hot potato. Then they began to find
fault with the city treasurer for not
collecting in 1883 licenses from business
establishments that were not started
until 1899. Next they undertook to
prove that Lamson had a good case
against the city by reason of rights ac-
quired. if at all, under the Republican
city administration. This pleading OF
Lamson's case against the taxpayers
of the city was not inclined to increase
the Hanna following. especially in view
of the attempt of Republicans to give
Lamson all he had asked for Finally
they fell back into Parley's creek and
established a bottling works in Dixon's
corral, with Geddes in charge.
It is their last ditch and they claim
to see snakes even there.

WHO INsuLTED THEM?

The Herald is insulting to those coun-
cilmeF who voted TO make the refunding
city bonds payable in gold instead of coin.
and says their denomination is IAN insult
to the city.
Insulting, is it? Let us see whether
Messrs- Robertson and Buckle, whom
the Republican organ defends by an in
senious argument of its own in favor
of gold bonds, deserve what The Herald
has said about them.
On the 23rd of July 1898, just after
their votes had been recorded in favor
money" clause, just after Messrs. Rob-
ertson and Buckle had assured the city
council that only gold bonds could be
sold. the Tribune said in leading edit
orial:
Touching the matter of issuing
new bonds with which to take up the
old bonds given by the city, our
Judgment is that coin bonds would
bring just as much as gold bonds;
that the cry for gold bonds is di-
rect insult to the good faith of SIT
Lake City, and the intimation that
coin bonds will be discounted by
money loaners, is merely an evidence
that such councilman has been car
ried off his feet by the representation
of interested parties"
Who was that councilman? Robert
son? What was the inference to be
drawn from that intimation that he was
working out a scheme of an interested
party? Did our contemporary mean to
insinuate that some local banker was
putting deal through the council with
the aid of MIR. Robertson? 1t would be
a good time for cur neighbor to explain
this remark.
Do the people Of this city want men
sent to the council who are open to
such accusations from their own party
organ?

IN The FACE OF THEIR RECORD

When the city was in such urgent
need of water. pure water for domestic
use and more water for the streets and
lawns, how did it happen that three
eminent Republicans, supporters of
Ezra Thompson. fought the extension
of the City creek system?
For several years there was a crying
demand for water for sprinkling pur-
poses and fire protection. Dust filed
the streets. blew into the stores and
homes in the business part of the city.
endangering health and injuring prop
erty, until it became a nuisance al
most unbearable. The present council
undertook TO remedy the evil. Thirty
two thousand dollars was appropriated
Tor the purpose of extending the City
creek mains, the work to be done ac-
cordlng to the plans and specifications
furnished by City Engineer Kelsey. and
under the supervision of the superin-
tendent of waterworks.
No sooner was the work of ccnstruc-
ton begun than the three Republicans
before mentioned brought injunction
proceedings against the city and com
PEELED the abandonment of the work
until too late to utilize the water dur
ing the present year.
Is this the way Republicans have aid
ed the Democratic city council to in
crease the supply of pure water for the
public? After leaving the city in the
awful condition described in the nom
partisan address. allowing filth to ac-
eumulate in one canyon and water to
r1n to waste in another, after expend-
ing the funds collected for their own
use and taking that which had been
collected for their successors, after try
ing to prevent the water mains from
being extended and enlarged this year.
do Republicans expect to be returned to
power in this municipality? They
must think the taxpayers Of Salt Lake
City have lost their senses.

ooeying the laws of unity" of the cias-
sic drama. From the comic writer pure
and simple. we should not have had the
first and last scenes, and the UNDER
tone of sadness that may be heard in
the words of the more serious Antipho-
lus OF Syracuse. From the classic Gra-
matist we should have expected the
strict obedience to the laws of dra-
matte unity found in this play, but not
the blending of humor and pathos, so
characteristic of the romantic drama
From this point of view the Com
edy Of Errors may be regarded as the
final triumph of the new romantic
drama over its opponents; it carried the
warfare into the enemy's camp and
scored the signal victory of harmonic
ing old and new-the conventional
eanons of Latin comedy and the pathos
of romanticism.

that in this play there is a lack of that
great wisdom that makes the humor
of his later comedies and tragedies so
significant
More vital than the points already
suggested, perhaps, is the artificial
grouping of characteristic mathemat-
ical symmetry of the play. This arises
from the dramatist's use of stage con-
ventions. Mr.. Barrett Wendell in his
recent book on Shakespeare has made
an admirable study of Shakespeare
adherence to the conventional laws of
the stage in his early plays and to his
gradual deliverance from them. In the
Comedy of Errors" we have the two
Antipholuses, the Dromios, the two sis
tiers, Adriana and Luciano, and Aegeon
and Aemilia.
One can readily see that the effect of
the play largely depends on the group
ing of characters. All this is but to
say that we miss individual character
ization. 1t is true if one studies the
play as carefully as Mr.. Knight has he
may detect, by means of the language
and their general conduct, the con-
trasts in the respective characters, but
in the main they lack Individuality.
The play lacks organic life; there is too
much of mechanical structure. Charac-
ter is Subordfnated to plot and incl
dent, whereas the reverse should be
true.
After all has been said, however. as
to the imperfections of the play, one is
impressed with the fact that there is
many signs of future development. One
feels throughout the subtle touches and
suggestions that betoken the master.
Shakespeare was even then greater
than this play indicates. There were
latent possibilities not yet called into
being; he was a young man, full of un-
directed power. He. had not come into
the full possession of his birthright.
But there are lines and scenes in the
Comedy of Errors" that have the i'm
press of genius upon them-that cause
