SUNDAY. DEG. 8, 1899.

In an editorial in the New York
Tribune, which paper always may be
depended upon to utter sense, the edi-
tor has to say concerning the seating
in Congress of the Mormon Roberts:
"It is not to be argued that the fit
ness of a man is to be determined by
the state that elects him, and that a
state has right to choose any Rep
resentative It pleases. A state has that
right in respect to it's own legislature.
But members of Congress are not law
makers for state, but for a nation.
Mr. Roberts is not sent to Washing
ton to serve Utah alone, but to serve
the whole nation. He is to be a law
maker, a servant and Representative
of every state, from Maine to Oregon,
and every such state has a natural
right to declare whether he is accept
able to it, II Utah is content to have
tawhreakers for members of her own
legislature, for her Governor and for
her judges, she may enjoy that priv
ilege as a sovereign state. But she
has no right, in sense, or we believe, in
law, to impose such upon the whole
Nation as its lawmakers"

Beers and Their Ways.

Il don't know whether all of the
news printed in the papers about the
Transvaal is true or not" said Henry
c. Fordyce, at the Holland House re-
Gently, "but l did see one paragraph
that smacked of truth" Mr.. Fordyce
is an Englishman, from Birmingham
and is interested in the manufacture of
mining machinery. He has been in
the Transvaal in the course of his
travels, and knows the people well.
"Fhe item l refer to-" he continued,
"related to the answer made by Boer
prisoner when asked how he relished
the bayonet charge made by the Brit
ish Almighty said the Boer, do you
think / waited for that?' The Beers
are quaint people, and their method
of living and their language is even
quainter. The real old style Boer all

the most trivial thing they preface it
with this ejaculation. 1t is a sort of
general introduction. The Beers are
not today, however, what they were
dozen years ago. The opening up of
the big mines, the mills and the other
large business undertakings has lured
them away from the vedt and the farm
Hundreds and thousands Of them work

ness that come from out of door life,
have lost accuracy as marl1smen and
have developed into tradesmen. 1t is
no proof OF their marksmanship that
so many English officers have been
killed, but rather a demonstration of
the useless and vainglorious way in
which the officers expose themselves.
This war will, however, wipe out in all
probability one OF the most quaint and
picturesque classes of people in the

"T'he Turtle"

In presenting "The Turtle" which.
unlike many French farcial comedies,
does not involve the theme of marital
Inconsistency and in which none of the
characters stray into forbidden paths,
the management is actuated by a de-
sire to keep pace with the times and
entertain the public with one of the
most widely discussed and successful
of current European novelties. Its
droll and fantastic complications all
the more mirth provoking because the
mistakes involving its perso1ages are
perfectly clear and apparent. There
is nothing unwholesOme in the theme
itself or in its artistic Interpretation,
and the comic interest is steadily
cumulative, the most laughable sltua-
tlon not occurring until just before the
final fall of the curtain. THE Turtle"
ran for 200 performances at the Man
haitian theatre, New York City, and
will be seen here On next Saturday
night at the Auditorium, with the
following company: Sylvia Alice
Lynden, Francis Knapp, Maud Otis,
Ada Morton. John Terriss, VIM. Nc
Greedy, ]. e. McGregor, Clement st.

Harper & Bros.

The announcement of the unfortu-
nate crisis reached in the affairs of
Harper & Bros. the famous firm of
publishers, necessarily contains ele-
ments painful to contemplate. After
many years of prosperity the financial
burdens Of the firm have become un-
bearable, and a reorganization is nee
essary in order to protect the creditors
and the publishing house itself. We
rejoice to observe, howver, that there
is nothing in the situation incompat-
ible with an indefinite extension of
services to the public with which the
name of Harper G. Bros. has long been
closely inedtified. The passage of the
business into the hands of the State
Trust Company and into the manage
ment of Colonel Harvey means simply
that the present monetary difficulties
will reach a settlement in the quickest
and most satisfactory manner, and
that work will go en- with renewed
vigor and enhanced sagacity in the ia
miliar Franklin Square buildings
With the fortunes of every great
publishing house the public is, of
course, peculiarly concerned. The fact
that such houses are established and
carried on for purposes of money max
ing can never deprive them of their
Significance as agents of culture in
our modern civilization. They are
the great centers of book distribution,
to whose enterprise we owe the ready
accessibility of literature. new and old,
in luxurious and in inexpensive form,
which is one of the most precious
like Harper & Bros, known and hon
ored in the trade for many years, is
temporarily visited by misfortune, the
sympathy of those who care for books
and appreciate honorable business
methods is quickly and freely offered.
1t is sad coincidence that on the
same day that witnessed the publica-
tion of the news concerning the Harp
ers a great fire in Philadelphia should
have inflicted terrible losses upon the
]. B. Lippincott Company, publishers
also long and favorably known to the
community. Condolences offered to
that firm, as to the Messrs. Harper, are
joined with a confident belief that in
spite of the great damage suffered new
efforts will soon obliterate the raw
ages of disaster.-New York Tribune

Hard to Find a Name.

Whe nthe question of the creation
of standing committee specifically
for the purpose of handling legislation
affecting the new possessions was
broached, party leaders were somewhat
embarrassed regarding the selection of
name. The old Committee on Terri
tories handled legislation based upon
the theory of Territorial government,
have been acquired by the United
States probably will be governed with
the possible exception of Hawaii, after
modification of the colonial system.
In other words, the Territories have
been governed with the expectation
that ultimately they would be erected
to statehood. There is no reason to
believe that there is any present inten-
tion to provide that future for the in
sular possessions Of the United States.
1t was suggested at first that the
new committee be called the Commit
tee on Colonial Affairs. Judlcious
party leaders Immediately vetoed this
suggestion, however, arguing that the
word colonial" would be interpreted
as confirming the Democratic charges
of threatened Imperialism. So del
icate was the question of selecting a
name for the new committee, indeed
that for time it seemed sufficient of
itself to defeat the object of those who
believed such a committee should be
created.
The name of Committee on Insular
Affairs was the happy suggestion of
Representative Tawney of Minnesota.
1t was at once hailed by party leaders
as offering solution of the question
as well as being exactly appropriate to
tAe work which the proposed new
committee would be called upon to
perform.

"The Three Musketeers.n

The long established reputation of
Mr.. John Griffith for lavish display in
the production of plays will be main
tanned this week more notlceably than
ever in the production of "The Three
Musketeers, which is to have a mag
nificent revival. This was one of the
early success of the late Salvlni, and
few have since surpassed 1t in attrac-
tiveness, while it appears that none
have been more popular. 1t will be
presented here tomorrow, Monday, at
the Auditorium. Too much praise
cannot be given Mr.. Griffith for his
herence to the idea Of giving a strictly
first-class performance. The interest
of the public is stimulated by eff
forts such as his, an diff the romantic
drama continues in popular favor 1t
will be because he and a few Others
who have brain and talents endeavor
constantly to raise the standard of
this class of entertainment Novelty
of any kind is always acceptable in
drama which is growing more cut
and dried every day, and when the
novelty is a sensation and of dainty
and pleasing nature as this production
is, it is doubly pleasing.
All the scenery for this production
painted by Mr.. Unit, scenic artist of
the Froham Lyceum theatre, New
York.
