PROMISE OF VICTORY.

Inc political events OI~the past week
have been exceptionally favorable to the
Democratic cause. East and West, the
trend toward Democracy is unmistakable.
However we may seek to explain the
fact, the fact itself exists
Democrats do not ordinarily look for
much of comfort toward Rhode Island.
Yet even there the prospect presented by
the recent election is full of hope. In
the last national election the Republican
candidate for president had plurality
over his Democratic opponent of 22,97S.
This year the Republican plurality is not
half as great, while every district In the
state shows a greater or less Democratic
gain. In Illinois. Ohio, Wisconsin, Col
orado, Missouri, wherever a serious party
contest prevailed, the. result was favora-
BILE to the Democratic party. In this state
all indications given in local elections were
of a like character.
E The Republican policy IS clearly out
lined in the frantic efforts put forward
to. foment Democratic divisions In the
recent contest In Chicago this DISPOSE
ton was most strongly manifested The
New York Sun, now recognized as the
most INSCRIPTIONS champion of a dis
credited national administration. filled its
columns with the most .venomous and
unfounded caIumnies' Of Mayor Harrison
and his administration. In every city in
the Union the Republican organs acted on
the same cue. They recognize the impor-
tant political truth that, with a divided
opposition, the Infamous record of Alger
and his trust proteges may succeed in
escaping condemnation.
There is not single proposition direct
ly affecting the administration of nation
at heart in unison. Every practical pub
lie man recognizes this truth The De-
mCcracy and every branch and faction of
1t Is outspoken In hostility to the shame
less schemes of Imperialism and to the
corrupt and infamous alliance which has
been maintained between the national adj
ministration and those industrial ma
RAIDERS misnamed trusts. Gradually, but
steadily the movement is In progress
among Democrats which will allay sec
tional misunderstanding, and which will
furnish a common ground on which all
friends of the popular cause can on
conscience stand in the approaching
struggle. .f,.r- =. So
We must not ignore or misunderstood
the lesson of the recent Democratic vic
tories They signalize the readiness Of
the masses. East and West to overthrow
the corrupt obligations of politics and
industry that have assumed control Of
our national government They voice the
popular demand that factionism and
sectionaEsm must cease within the ranks
OF the Democracy; that mutual tolera-
ton and concession must prevail and
that we must ask the sustainment by the
people of principles and policies that
will go to the root of the abuses that
have aroused the Indignation OF the
country.
A national victory for the Democratic
party is in sight. Nothing short of GRIM
inal folly on It's own part will prevent
its realization.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
METROPOLITAN.

Modjeska, supported by talented COM
pany, was greeted last night by an audi
ence by no means in keeping with her
deserts, in numbers at least, although 1t
was enthusiastic as the evening proceed
ed, and IN a measure made up in interest
what it lacked in numbers.
Queen of the mimic stage and mimic
queen beside, the comedy countess In
truth was delightful. And Mary Stuart,
with the opportunities of the role. that
range through all the human impulses,
love, hate, revenge, forgiveness, ambi-
ton, humility, and pride, hope and
despair, revealed each moment a new
beauty in the art that knows no modern
mistress so faithful to her duty or so
exacting of her subject as Modjeska. 1t
might have been her of whom 1t was
written: Age cannot wither her. nor
custom stale her infinite variety" So
familiar is her Mary Stuart that X is
almost superfluous to comment on its
fidelity to the highest art.
Nor is there any gainsaying the repu-
tation that Annie E. Proctor has made as
Queen Elizabeth. Her characterization
of the role of Englands queen is admir-
able. Naughty, vet by her own confess
sion with weaknesses Of will that at least
one too many of her courtiers knew, Miss
Proctor's appreciation of the marvellous
uncertainty In the royal temperament
was apparent. Especially strong, at once.
forceful and well controlled, was her
work in the exacting scenes of the third
and fourth acts. the former with Mod
jeska, the latter without. Both these
scenes impelled the audience to hearty
demonstrations of approval
Lester Lonergan. as Leicester, presents
a polished character, stripped OF the af
fectation of villainy too usual in such
roles. Besides tendency to stride rather
than walk, which marred to some extent
his work in the scene in the park. at
Fotheringay. Mr.. Lonergan's rendition
was entirely commendable.
George Spencer's Sir Edward Mortimer
was excellent. He was ardent and Wig
orous without being unduly vehement or
unpIeasantly overcome by his emotions.
His suicide after Lefcesrers treachery
and his arrest was marked by thorough
delicacy and was rewarded by an en-
thuSiastic curtain call
Charles Herman. as Lord Burleigh, ap-
peared to best advantage in those scenes
where the opportunities for mistake are
most tempting. He has a strong intui-
ton as to the contrasts of light and
shade, of repose and action, and was best
in the fourth act In the second a ten
dency to scan his lines, that aided their
force, perhaps, at the expense of their
music, was observable.
Frederick Vroom as Talbot. Wadsworth
Harris as Sir Anias Paulet, and Clar-
ence M. Love as Burgoyne, were accept
able.
