The election of Carter Harrison as
Mayor of Chicago is not an unmixed evil.
Perhaps from the local point of view of
the Windy city it is as bad as could be;
assuredly nobody could give worse gov
eminent that Mr.. Harrison has; but in the
broad view. as the event bears on the in
terests Of the entire country, it is about
as fortunate a thing as could happen
This is the final blow to free silver COIN
age and Organism in the West. The de-
feat of Altgeld is the death knell of the
atrocious combination of thieves and
anarchists Of which he was the head
centre. This defeat is the more significant
because 1t is effected by another Demo-
crat. Had the Republican candidate for
Mayor of Chicago been chosen, there
would have been no particular significance
in it. The uprising against bad local v
nme the division of the Democratic
forces would account sufficiently for the
result. But the plurality which Harrison
scored over Altgeld of 101 900 votes is TOO
emphatic a demonstration of popular
thought and will power to be mistaken
ever by fools or ignored even by knaves.
1t is the end OF C~hicagoism in the party
Of Jefferson, jackson. Tilden, Cleveland
and Hill. It is the dawn Of a new era, in
which a sobered and regenerated De-
mocracy will rise purified by disaster and
strengthened by trial to once again re-
store republican ideals to the nation in
stead Of the gauds of Imperialism and
militarism with which the public eye has
been trIcked and dazzled for the past

VALUE OF CONSTANT ADVERTISING

A wen known member of a New York
publishing house, in an interesting talk
on advertising matters recently, told The
following incident, which shows how
familiar the general reading public la
become with am advertising trade mark,
when it is used with unremitting vigor:-
II went to Riviera last winter, and on
the homeward passage, coming out Of the
Mediterranean. / suddenly thought OF
passing the Rock of Gibraltar. 1t was a
beautiful moonlight night, and quite a
party of Americans gathered on the deck
to see Ii the fortress really did look like

a splendid view, and the illustration in
the Advertisement is very like the real
thing. We were all a little disappointed,
however, that we didn't see The Pruden-
tial has the Strength Of Gibraltar on the
side OF the rock, but / presume Her
Majesty's Government objected"
Doubtless The Prudential Insurance
Company has never requested such per-
mission. ent it is evident that the rock
and lis w~orld-famed fortress has been Of
vast benefit to that company IN its ex-
tensive advertising operations.

American Theatre.

1.-THE Merry Wives of Windsor, with
its delicious music and refined humor'
has proven to be one of the interesting
novelties of the season at the American
Theatre. The presentation has met with
the appreciation of a succession of large
audiences who have enjoyed Nicolafs
musical Interpretation of Shakespeare $
effective comedy story of the apa
of the fat knight, Sir John Falstaff-
The management will, next week, re-
vive Carmen for the second time this
season. Mr.. Hedmondt will positively
make his debut with the company in one
of his greatest successes, Don Jose. his
portrayal of the impetuous lover OF the
Spanish siren is said to be a remarkable
conception, both. vocally and dramatically.
This fact had muchdto do with the man
agement's decision to again revive Bizet's
masterwork.
AS q companion picture to MI. He'd
mondt's Don Jose, the presentation Will
bring forward that favorite artist, Miss
Macnichol, in one of her best known and
best liked representations, Carmen. The
remainder Of the cast will be as follows
Michaela. Laura Millard; Frasquita, Ger

ton; Escamillo, Harry l.. Chase; Don
Cairo, Henry Norman; Remendado.

Mr.. Tom Greene will alternate with Mr..
Hedmondt, Mr.. LIMESTONE Win NE.

Frances Miller will sing '.Michaela.' This
list of artists is a safe guarantee that the
Castle Square Opera Company viii axe
easy OF accomplishment the transition
from the comedy of Nicolai to the trag-
edy of Bizet. The costumes and scenery
which won tributes of admiration in the
previous production will be employed In
the current one.

Taddy Roosevelt's Progression.

inst as we prophesied, the Evening
POST" has at last turned on Theodore
Roosevelt, its pet Governor of New YORK.
and in Yesterdays editorial columns 1t
gave him a lambasting in its own Pc
culiar style of turbulence. The Is
all over a recent batch of appointments
to state offices, n the alleged crime IS
a willingness displayed in the selections
made, to compromise with Tom Platt
and The Machine element of the Repub-
ucan party. In a word, the Post has
discovered-what was plain enough al all
times-that Colonel Roosevelt is a time
server and a self-seeker. and not an IDEAL
lied crank of the Godkinesque pattern
1t is amusing to watch the progress OF
Roosevelt from the position of popular
Idol which some persons tried to give
him last November, to plain ordinary
ound-out politician and photographer.
He was no sooner in power than he es-
tranged and alienated all the out and out
politicians by his efforts to cultivate the
favor of the excessively good element.
Now he las earned the hatred and con-
tempt of the excessively good by his eff
fort to. recover the support and conf
dence of the exceedingly bad.
Contemporaneously, he has been Great
ing disgust and distrust in the minds of
all citizens who have an objection To the
large capital I idea in politics and gov.
eminent. His dictatorial ton owards
the Legislature and his swagger in deal
ing with his party and the public nave
brought back into painfully vivid recol-
lection his capers when he was boss of
the New York police force.
In a WORD, the Colonel has very few
friends left. All the influential ones have
flrifted away or are drifting away from
him, and only a few people who are still
dazzled by the glories of San Juan hill
remain his followers and shouters. About
the time of his election, we foretold in
these columns that, in a year, he would
not have a friend in the world. He is
rapidly getting there.
