MCLEAN ana the Germans.

That the German Americans OF
Ohio, almost Without exception,
are heartily in favor OF the election
OF the Democratic ticket this tall
Is becoming more evident every
day. This is no surprise to those
who know the deep seated resent
ment shown by them towards the
proposed Anglo American Alll-
ance and imperialistic policy OF the
Administration. In many coun-
ties OF the State, in fact in the
State at large, the Germans hold
the balance of power, and the in
fuence OF their vote will be felt.
The Wapakoneta Pest published
by a company of which Carl d.
Fischer, a we'll known business
man and leading Republican, is
the president, urges all Germans
irrespective OF politics, to support
the Democratic ticket, and has
this to say editorially Of John K,
Mclean, the head OF that ticket
1t is acknowledged by every citizer
that our present Governor, Asa Bushnell
a Republican, has made an honest
upright and capable official. OnereasoT
for this is that he is and always has beef
a business man. Oi the two candidate
who this year are asking taVors OF IN

Again, while the hungry coal miner

and lead. We do not know or care wher

A phenomenal high class vaudeville
bill is to be played at the New Grand
next week. A specially attractive
feature of the new season there is the
daily matinee for which the prices have
been reduced to as cents for reserved
seats in all parts Of the house. Since
the ladies of Washington have learned
Of this agreeable reduction they have
thronged to the theatre in numbers that
multiply daily. The matinee last
Saturday was the largest vet attended
since polite vaudeville has been the
attraction.
Nine. TavarY, the celebrated prima
donna whose Tavary Opera Company
played here last at the Ma tional theatre,
will be the leading attraction next week.
She is a remarkable singer, charming OF
personality, and a most gracious artistic,
Her songs will be the masterpieces OF the
great composers and her performance
alone will be we'll worth the small
admission charged.
Barney Pagan, assisted by Henrietta
Byron, will show his genus for clog
dancing which has made him prominent
in that pleasing line of amusement.
Some very quaint and humorous phases
OF human nature will be portrayed by
Mr., and Mrs. Perkins. D, Fisher in the
character sketch"The Halt Way House,
Carrie Behr, the bit last year OF Lifts
play mistakes Will Happen" will do
her character change conceit that has
provedso popular in New York. She is
a piquante litlle player. Mile Flora, the
unique wire walker. who is as bright
comedienne as she IS graceful mid air
performer, will give a most diverting
entertainment. Arthur Rigby, the most
modern and humorous OF black face
monologists. will equal the hit George
Wilson made last week. Thomton and
Green, the familiar exponents OF refined
vaudeville, will give their best turn"
Others as we'll known will fill out the
billto the very generous limit customary
at the New Grand. A week even more
profitable than the opening period is in
store tor the reiuveuated playhouse.

Creston Clarke will open his annual
engagement at the Columbia on Monday
night, when he will present his new and
elaborate production OF Hamlet. During
the remainder of the week be will be
seen in varIed repertoire OF classic and
romantI PLAYS, among them two that are
new to WashIngtonians--T Ragged
Cavalier and A Son of France. The
first named is the Joint work OF Mr..
Clarke and Miss Louise Malloy. This
play won a distinct success upon its first
production, which occurred late in the
past season, and has now come to be
one OF the most popular p ays IN which
Mr.. Clarke Is seen. The other new
play, A Son Of France, is built on the
stirring scenes during and after the
French Revolution, and is the love story
of two lives, with those strange times as
a background, giving to both Mr.. Clarke
and Miss Prince roles that are congenial
and full Of strength Mr.. Clarke's
company is this season larger and
stronger than ever, and IS headed by
that talented actress, Miss Adelaide
Prince. A carload of special scenery
and dprOpertiesi is carried by the company,

slavery In Hawaii.

The sugar trusts which own
Hawaii treat their imported labor
ers as slaves. The judges whom
Mckinley appointed follow the
dictates OF the trusts and give de
cisious so cruel that a number of
the principal lawyers have sent
delegate to Washington to lay the
matter before Mckinley. AS the
President is owned by the trusts,
he will do what they want, and
slavery will be actually estab-
lished by the United States. Some
Of the slaves were Galicians, i'm

Mark Hanna comes back with
the bluff statement that the admin
istration has kept all the campaign
promises to the people. There has
been no legislation perieeting the
currency laws and the financial
system Of the nation is as system
less as before, the same old crazy
patch work; instead OF being eco
nomicallY managed, the govern
ment was never so extrsvagantly
conducted, national expenditures
being tw ce what they were FIVE
years aPo; in time Of peace the
most burdensome tariff the country
has ever known was imposed and
war bought outright for Sac, ,ooo,-
600 that has continued a war rev.
enue tax to add indefinitely to the
load OF struggling people. Per-
haps Mark is right that the people
would not be without these evil
dences of consideration, If they
could be.

ization-the Great Star Triumvirate--
Louis James, Kathryn Kidder, and
Charles B. Hanford, in classic and
standard plays.
These three artists represent the best
traditions Of the Shskespearean and
classic drama on the American stage. II
would be difficult to the average observer
to point out which Of the members Of
this extraordinary alliance is likely to
contribute most to its strength. And in
this perpIexIty lies the secret of it's
artistic potency. Miss Kidder is an
actress OF marvellous magnetism and
intellectual grasp; and with these she
combines a gentle womanlipess which
enables her to win affectionate regard
as we'll as sincere admiration. She has
the charm of personality; the power OF
humanizing a character without a
moments sacrifice of its ideal aspect.
Louis lanes with his admirable
physique, a rich, melodious voice and a
natural grace and majesty OF carriage
make him an Incompatible actor for
particular roles. Experience and lofty
and intelligent respect for his art have
made him conspicuous as the possessor
Of that combination of physical aud
mental power which is so rare aud so
irresistible. In voice, figure and coun-
tenance he is magnifcently adapted to
the portrayal of those stage creations
which will live so long as human
impulse and passion retain their mys-
terious fascination.
The other apex ofthls artistic triangle
whose summit II would be so difficult to
indicate, Mr.. Charles B. Haniord, is an
actor in whom the American public has
long felt just and loyal pride. He has
done much to maintain the dignity OF the
modern drama, not only as PLAYER but
as a producer OF plays. To this complete
technical knowledge of the stage i:
joined the rare gift OF interpreting hi!

The New York Woykd is frantic
in its opposition to the renomina-
ton OF Bryan. 1t shows the des-
perate straits to which his oppo-
nents are driven by advocating
Dewey as a Democratic candidate.
This, in the opinion OF the National
Watckmag. Of tins city, would in
deed be absurd. In the first place
Dewey is a Republican. In the
next place by his own confession.
he knows nothing about politics
or statecrait, having devoted the
energies Of his life to his chosen
profession. Let the Workd possess
its soul in peace. The Democratic
masses have their minds made up.
They have put their faith in a
statesman. A professional warrior
is not the man to deal with the
great questions Of statecrait that
are uppermost at this time.

Mckinley Helps England Against

Cape Town has gone to Bloemfon-

An Associated Press despatch of
Tuesday says:
The London Daily ZekeRraph pub
lIsbes a communication from military
correspondent, who, in discussing the
effect d the Orange Free State throwing
It's lot in with the Transvaal, says:
"In the event of war this will greatly
increase our difficulties, aud lengthen
the duration of the campaign, but the
work will be accomplished, and the
union Jack will float over consolidated
South Africa between Zambesi and the
Cape.
The principal danger which besets
the British position is a sudden outbreak
oi hostilities enabling the Beers to score
few minor successes, which would
bring down upon US every Dutchman 10

that the Beers are sending compressed

signify that they will not wait for new

advance. For this we certainly are not

practically ueienseless, and a combined
attack by the orange Free State and the
Transvaal might result in disaster and
the retreat OF our forces toward Durham,
leaving the border towns IN the hands
of the enemy. Small wonder is 1t that
these towns are alarmed. The-mOve-
ment of British troops into Natal has not
begun a moment too soon.
This shows that the Anglo-Sax-
