An event of unusual importance in
musical circles, is the first appearance
in this city of the famous Banda Rosa,
at the Opera House, Thursday, March
18th, whose they give concerts matinee
and night. This band made a notable
impression at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, a few months ago,
where they appeared under the leader
ship of Eugene Sorrentino, who still
conducts them. Two of their best pro-
grammes have been arranged for this
engagement, which will be the only
one given here the present season. If
an organization which endows all it's
performances with such genuine ar
tistic passion may be said 10 have any
speciality. the Banda Rosa may claim
as its highest achievement the playing
of the Italian and French operas as
adapted by Sig. Scrrentino himself.
Indeed to hear this band play its I'M
ique selections from a score of other
works whose melodies are dear to us
all, is to experience an emotional sat-

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Monday a five-year-old son of David
Henderson whose residence is in Jona-
thans Ravine, met with a terrible acct
dent. The boy was about a horsepower
feed cutter, in operation, and in some
manner got his right arm caught in the
machine AS result, he was horribly
mutilated. Fortunately the horse stop
ped. and the mother of the boy, who was
absent from home at the time of the ac-
eident. arrived and found him in his
dreadful predicament. 1t took over half
an hour to release the boy, as the ma
chine had to be taken apart. The victim.
who is under the care of DR.. Frissell, will
not be well for some months.

There was another very large audi
ence at the Grand Opera House last
might and more evidences of enthus-
iasm than are ordinarily manifested
over a dramatic production. This is
due to the patriotic sentiment which is
expressed in the lines anu situations
of the play, as well as to its dramatic
merit, and the strength of the COM
pany. The special scenery is well con-
structed and presents stirring views of
the recent war with Spain in very
realistic manner. Especially is this
true of the destruction of the Maine
and the spectacular effect illustrating
the battle of Manila harbor. When it
is said that the company is the strong
est that has ever appeared here in one
of Lincoln J. Carriers melo-dramas,
patrons of the Grand will require no
other assurance of the genuine merit of
the production. 1t will be repeated
this afternoon and the engagement will
close with to-nights performance.

BRYAN AT A LOSS.
The Silver-Tongued Orator of the
Platte Is Deprived of His
Thunder.

There are signs that even the iingling
orator of the Platte is beginning to see
light. In recent interview he touched
upon the heaven-born ratio only in
academic accents. He is no less de-
voted to fred. silver at Is to /, ostensibly,
than he has been for the last few years,
but he feels apparently that it's sun is
going into an eclipse. With all his en-
thusiasm he has reached the point
where he comedies that it may not be
the paramount issue of the next presi-
dental campaign. This change of at
titude is of no little significance.
Il have no doubt" observes Mr.. Bry-
an, "other issues will be added to the
platform" Then comes the point of
the observations: whatever may be
first in the public mind will be the
dominant ISSUE" When William j.
Bryan publicly comedies that silver
may not be the dominant issue of 1900
it is safe to conclude that it is the pre-
vailing opinion of democrats, wherever
the peripatetic Nebraskan goes, north
and south, east and west. He has riv-
aled the journeyings of the great Amer
lean traveller, and his convictions have
yielded to the pressure of popular senti
ment. When w. j. Bryan admits that
silver may lose its place as the dom
inant political issue it is safe to con-
clude that silver has lost that place al
ready.
Mr.. Bryan concluded the brief inter-
view with the sensible remark that.he
is mot making platform for the demo-
cratic party; the convention will do
that" That was not the spirit of his
| Belmont letter. and the series of post
prandial speeches of, short time ago.
Are not Bryan and Organism one and
inseparable? 1t would seem not. Can
it be possible that he is descendant of
the traditional postmaster who, when
reminded that the new president be-
longed to the anti-administration
party, replied: Il would like to see the
administration that could flop quicker
J than | can"
In word, w. J. Bryan is out for the
presidency and not 16 to 1.-Chicago

BRYANITES SILENCED.
of Gold Knocks the Prom
from Under Free Sill
verites.

If the Bryanites succeed in forcing
the old issues into the platform of 1900
their campaign will present greater
array of absurdities than it did in 1896,
because of the changed condition in the
currency situation. While it is true
that double standard of measure is
no more of an absurdity now than it
was in 1885, it is fact that nature and
the laws of business and of supply and
demand hav- Knocked out about all the
arguments that were employed by the
silverites in defense of their position
in the last, campaign.
While silver and wheat parted COM
pany long ago, the Bryanites are now
confronted by a currency condition
that sweeps the last prop from under
their fallacious arguments. 1t was the
cardinal contention of the silverites in
1896 that there was not enough gold in
the country to supply the demands of
circulating medium, and that what
little there was had been carefully cor
nered by the capitalists and moneyed
classes. Mr.. Harvey, it will be remem-
bered. succeeded by means of cleverly
constructed diagrams on paper in put

auditors by illusions to the dear dol

But If the dear dollar" was in hiding
in 1896, it has come forth in such abund-
ance in 1899 as to glut all the channels
of industrial and commercial exchange.
There is, in fact, such tremendous
volume of gold now in circulation that
the business world is already clamoring
for relief from the yellow coins as a
medium of exchange.
The source of this immense tide of
gold money with which the country is
now flooded may be found in the in
creased output of the gold mines of this
continent, the gold payments to this
country from foreign trade balances in
our favor and the general reviving of
trading activity all over the country.
The trade of the country has, in fact,
become so large that the small bills
have not been sufficient to meet the
requirements of exchange, and the bust
ness and banking interests have been
compelled to fall back upon gold. The
yellow metal has come forward to fill
up the breach in the circulating
medium caused by an unprecedented
revival of business prosperity.
The country, in fact, is surfeited with
gold. A new financial situation has not
only come to the front which will de-
mand the attention of the next con-
gress, but the influx of gold currency
is completely obliterating the fallacies

that paper the astonishing discovery
that
The most potent factor the United States
possesses in her successful and rapidly
increasing competition with British manu-
features is a practically prohibitive import

exported can be obtained.
1t will be news indeed to the Ameri-
can people to learn that they are being
supplied by domestic manufacturers
with class of goods inferior to those
which are sent abroad. The impress
sion generally prevails that nothing is
too good for the Americans, who are
noted the world over as the most lib
eral of buyers and consumers and the
most eXacting as to the quality of the
articles they buy and use. If foreign
made article suits them best they buy
it, but the fact that nineteen-twentieths

nestle manufacture would seem to sug-
gest that Americans are quite well sat

for foreign-made goods would not be

tifully less.

That is an exploded humbug which has

what they are getting. They know thai

A POLICY THAT PROTECTS.
Southern Industries Encouraged ana
Increased by the Dingley
Tariff.

The protective policy continues to be
justified by its fruits. Secretary Will
son, of the department of agriculture,
has just returned from trip to Louisi-
ana and Texas. Those southern states
have found that they need the protect
i've policy of the republican party. The
secretary says of the sugar industry:
VERY extensive improvements have late
ly been made in the sugar factories in an
ticipation of life-and-death struggle with
sugar countries where labor is cheaper and
conditions quite as favorable. The en-
enlargement given by the Dingley tariff
will have a tendency to increase the area
of production and attract capital to the en-
terrrise The people are much more con-
cerned over the future policy of congress
respecting their industry than they are
over the heavy loss on the coming crop by
low temperatures. They are pleased to
note the great increase of sugar produce
ton from beets in the northern states,
judging that they will not be alone in the
future when public policies are framed re-
garding the importation of their product.
The large amount of money being paid to
foreign countries for saccharine matter
gives abundant opportunity for enterprise
In the production of sugar within the
united states, ana every EFFORT Will now D6
made by the producers of sugar to earn
that money"
In regard to the political situation,
the secretary said
THE people accommodate themselves to
circumstances politically. The republic
ans say: We want protection Others,
who do not like to use the word 'protec-
tion,' say: The government needs rev.
enue.' But, however it is put, the present
policies of the government are very pop
uar"
The secretary expressed the opinion
that the encouragement given by the
Dingley tariff has had a marked effect
on the rice producers around the gulf,
and that extensive arrangements are
generally being made to produce all the
rice consumed in the United States,
which he thinks will soon be brought
about
The republican party is the party of
prosperity, and the more prosperous
the people are the better they like the
policies of that party.-Troy Times.

and engravings exported during that
time, more than one-third went to
European countries; of carriages and

fourth, while of the four million dol
lars worth of bicycles exported two
and three-quarter million dollars
worth went to Europe. Even in clocks
and watches Europe took SSH 900 of
the $1,3o2,OOO worth exported during

A Measure. That Is Needed.

OF course the gold standard is estab-
lished in this country, and it will re-
main established as long as the repub-
lican party remains in power. 1t would
be well. however, to establish it by di-
rect enactment, as the republicans pro-
pose to do by the measure which the
republican members of the house end of
the joint committee recommend. A
base money president, if one should
ever chance to be elected, could net
upset the gold standard if such pro-
,'ision as this was put on the statute
book. Nothing except an act of con-
gress passed in the constitutional way
could overthrow the gold standard
after the passage of the bill which the
republicans propose. That provision
should be put in, whatever financial
measure passes the congress which
meets this year.-St. Louis Globe-Dem,
ocrat.

SCATTERING SILVER FORCES.
The Cheap Money Standard Is Deing
Deserted by Political
Heavy Weights.

The announcement by ex-senator
PETER that he has returned to the re-
publican fold need cause no great sur
prise. He states the case with frank
ness. Originally republican, he left
the party at a time when Kansas and
other western states as the result of
crop failures were struggling with very
lean years. The people were much dis
heartened, and in their distress many
of them ascribed their troubles to the
financial policy of the republican party.
But with the revival of good times,
with business thriving and the farmers
of the west on high ground again, Mr.
PETER sees the error of his hasty con-
illusions and resumes his old political
relations.
The next twelvemonth will probably
reveal throughout the west many men
like Mr.. PETER. The populist party in
tina section as originally formed was
recruited almost entirely from the re-
publicans. The hard times explained
the organization there. Such planks in
the platform as the initiative and refer
endum, government ownership and con-
troll of railroad and telegraph lines, and
government loans on crops and live
stock, were largely fancy touches, de-
signed to finish off and attract atten-
ton to the propaganda for a larger vol
ume of money. But more money.
enough of it at least to ease up the
whole situation-has come by the old
agencies; and many of these men, with
the wrinkles in their stomachs filled
out and their wallets again in shape,
are willing to postpone a general re-
forming of the government to later
day.
But what will Bryan do? The Ne
braska leader cannot afford to recog-
nize or yield to the good times They
have arrived not only without his con-
sent but against his predictions. He
cannot abandon free silver. He cannot
afford to confess himself in error about
silver. Other refuge has he none. He
sees this. He is as frank on his side
as Mr.. PETER is on his. He will consent
to additions to the Chicago platform,
but not to the dropping of a single is
sue it proclaims. BY adhering to it he
will lose many votes, particularly in
the west, but were he to abandon it he
would lose his only claim to renomina-
tion.-Washingto Star.

Admiral Dewey has lived aboard shin
for almost two years without inter-
mission. Ever since he sailed into Ma
Mia bay and began to whizz, bang and
smash things. with his big guns and
rapid-fring guns, he has lived on ship
board.
For several months more Admiral
Dewey will iwell on the Olympia, and
then he will permanently reside in the
national capital. On his famous Gag
ship he will go to China for change
of climate. He will then go to India,
and thence around the Suez canal, sail
ing over historic and sometimes sacred
waters. Over him will float the four.
starred flag of an admiral, and wher.
ever he goes that flag will receive an
appropriate salute.
The sensible people of this country
have concluded to give Admiral Dewey
welcome such as no naval commander
ever before received. They will not
have him carried around the country
like curiosity; nor will they attack
his health with the banquets of so cit
les. They will have him met at sea
by squadron of vessels of the new
navy. They will have him royalty re.
ceived in New York, and then, when he
reaches Washington, they will present
him with magnificent permanent
residence. Popular subscriptions are
being made, and the committee in
charge of the matter believe that not
only will enough be subscribed to pur'
chase splendid residence for the adj
miral, but that there will be left ovel
a handsome sum for investment, SC
that his every want will be well sup
piled.
