came what may be called its principal
external characteristics. Its principal
internal characteristics, as exemplifled
in actual production, were the glorifica-
ton of energy (indeed, some would say
'crime') and the dedication of passion.
AS further characterization it may be
said that the romantic drama intro
duced to the stage for the first time
subjects relating to the national life
and national history of France. This
was feature against which no criti-
cism could long hold ground. But
there were other features which, in the
opinion of many, were not quite SO de-
feasible. Instead of the dignified and
orderly procedure prescribed by the
classical drama, the romantic drama
resorted to the extraordinary and the
startling. Instead of using such meth
DDS of dramatic development and such
local colorings as custom had made
normal to the theatre, it employed
methods of development and local coll
orings whose main purpose was to ex-
cite the senses and infiame the emo
tons
1t will thus be seen that the roman
tic drama" tended to become mere mel
odrama 1t was saved from descend
ing to this fate simply by the innate
genius of its main expounders. Hugo
was lyric poet of Incompatible power,
and his dramas, though they failed as
stage plays, have an enduring place in
literature because of the lyric element
that is in them. Dumas, again, had
sense of the value of mystery and sd
luton, sense of dramatic climax,
which no looseness of theory could de-
stroy, and his inventive faculty was
equal to his needs. His plays, there

sage at ALL The plays of Haywood,
for example. and of Kotzebue also, are
little or nothing if we judge them as
pure literature; but they are not to be
despised IL they are considered merely
as drama. So adroit were these play
wrights in the construction of their
best works that these plays had the
semblanee of life, although they lacked
the reality of it. although the charac-
tiers were nothing. the meaning nil and

and Kotzebue used the same devices
merely TO amuse and to entertain which
have been employed by Sophocles aud
by Shakespeare. by Moliere and by Ib-
sen, to voice their philosophy and to
body forth their vision of existence.

wrights, as Haywood and Kotzebue
Were; they are not dramatists lin the
fuller meaning of the word), as are
Sophocles and Shakespeare, Moliere
and Ibsen. It is as craftsmen only that
they interest us-as experts in the diff

or as thinkers, or as stylists. or as
creators of character, or as philosophic
observers of life.

Our morning contemporary related
an anecdote yesterday which is less
applicable to the coming yacht race
than it is TO the local political situa-
ton Imagine a political boss disguised
as an Irishman with following known
as the Republican party of Utah. Sup
posing. for the sake of leaving the
story intact. that this party has as
sumed the shape of a pig for the
greater convenience of the aforesaid
boss who may desire to take turns in
driving, leading and carrying it.
Pat. where are YOU going with your
Pig"
'-Spake lower. yer honor"
~ here are you going with your pig?"
Whist. Will yees2 m going to Cork,
but he thinks N going 10 Fermoy.
Doesn't that describe the situation
Can anybody tell whether he is taking
the party to Teller or to Hanna? To
Frank Cannon or to Arthur Brown?
To Chicago, or to st. Louis? Does the
pig know whether it is going to Cork
or to Fermoy?
In the language of the story: Pat
where are you going with your pig?"

WELCOME THE OLYMPIA.

It must have been thrilling sight
as the Olympia Joined the celebration
fleet in New York harbor yesterday.
There were the floating forts that
crushed the Spanish feet in the Allan
tic awaiting the leader of the great sea
fight in the farthest Pacific. 1t was a
meeting of warriors after the war. 1t
was reunion Of the representatives of
two fleets that had made history in
two hemispheres; that had crushed the
tyranny of Spain in the Occident and
the Orient; that had established the
reputation of the American navy
abroad as well as at home; that had
demonstrated the awful effectiveness of
the modern warship.
We rather suspect the Olympia felt
a little proud as she jained her COM
rades Of the navy. After encircling
the globe in trail of glory, receiving
the cheers and praises of every port at
which she touched, leaving wave of
admiration in her wake, and bearing to
his countrymen the greatest living hero
of the navy, she couldn't help feeling
proud And if cruisers and warships
ever feel envy there were some into
whose hearts ii must have entered as
the Olympia steamed through the cos
mopolitan city of vessels receiving
homage from every nation represented
as she took her place in line.

fore, despite their infringement of the
'proprieties," held their own not only
during his own day, but for long
time after. De Vigny, too had natu-
rally a too acute sense for art to be
long the subject of that spirit of dis
order and rebellion, which, unfortu-
nately, was only too characteristic of
the genius of many of the early ro-
manticists. His plays, therefore, also
have permanent place in literature.
After the dramatists OF the great ro-
mantle epoch there is no dramatist
whose rank has become part OF liter
ature until the name of Angler is
reached. Emile Angler (1S20-S9) was
the chief representative of what. has
been called the school of good sense"
in the drama. The principal character
istic of this school was its champion
ing of the ordinary and common sense
notions of life-love, virtue, honor,
honesty, business, money politics, etc.
against the somewhat extravagant
and very unreal notions of these SUBJ
jects oftentimes entertained by the ro-
manticists. The school, therefore, ex-
emplified a differentiation from roman
ticism toward realism. A further diff
ferentiation in the direcs ION of real
ism has been made by that more recent
and much more eminent exponent of
the dramatic art who is the subject of
our special notice, Victorien Sardou
(b. 1880.
Associated with Angler in the school
of good sense" and sometimes called
the head of the school, was Ponsard
QS24-67). Ponsard, however, was
scarcely. a realist. He was rather a
cIassicist, and may be taken as the
chief representative of the reaction we
have spoken of from anticism back

play seems sadly faded. In Goethe's
day Kotzebue was such mantle
Kotzebue whose emotional dramas
filed every theatre in Europe and
America, and whose "Menschenhass
ind Reue" tknown in English as THE
Stranger'') deals with a theme curious
ly like that handled by Haywood in "a
Woman Killed with Kindness
In France within the last 100 years
there have been two playwrights fifty
to be compared with the English Hey
wood and with the German Kotzebue.
The first of these is Eugene Scribe.
whose prolific production lasted
through the first half of the nineteenth
century, and the second is M Victor
len Sardou, who is one of the most fer
tile and. abundant playmakers of the
second half of the nineteenth century.
Like Haywood, Scribe was the very
embodiment of theatrical skill and NJ.
Sardou is like Scribe, upon whom, in
deed, he has modelled himself. NJ Sar-
dou might be described not unfairly
as a Scribe brought up to date with
all the modern improvements Tame
declared that the art of pIaymaking
was as susceptible of improvement as
the art of matchmaking, and of the
mechanism of the drama M. Sardou
is absolute master.
Style has been described as the
clothing of thought. and this has sug-
gested to one acute critic. the remark
that De Quincy was the first writer
who had been able to make the gar
ment so stiff with embroidery that it
could stand by itself without anybody
within It. And the drama is, an art so
special and SO peculiar that it can ex-
list wholly without regard to the mes
sage IT conveys that it can even thrive

PATRIOT AND POLITICIAN.

The difference between forcible ex-
pansionists and opponents of conquest
is equal to the difference between men
who simply howl for war and those
who fight when their services are need
ed. Not that every advocate of con-
quest would refuse to fight for terri
torial aggression. FOR that every oppon-
ent of conquest is a soldier, but the diff
ference is emphasized by the fact that
almost every wild-eyed defender of the
flag from imaginary assaults is man
who never defended it from actual at
tacks.
This was exemplified at the secret
meeting of Republicans the other even
ing. A certain state official made a
regular stump speech in which he
gloried in the conduct of the war in the
Philippines and said that wherever the
flag stands the American people will
stand behind it,
Colonel NJ. NJ. Kaighn, who was pres
ent, responded: We'll followed that
flag through four years of war and
twenty-one battles.
He had just Informed the meeting,
only a few minutes before, that he was
surprised at the tremendous anti
expansion sentiment he found in the
east" during his attendance of the
Grand Army national encampment.
This shows the difference between the
politician who shouts for the flag for
a partisan purpose and the patriot who
followed it when his country needed his
services.

again to classicism or semi classicism.
A contemporary of all these dramat-
lists was one whose work, so far as the
play going public was concerned, was
of more account than alllof them put
together-when in 1852 he won fame
and unexampled popularity by the.
dramatization of his previously writ
ten story, The Lady with the Camel

first play of his, or even because of the
almost equally popular other plays Of
his early years. that Dumas the young
er is so important in dramatic litera-
ture. 1t is because he represents in his
career and writing the whole course of
the significant development which the
drama of France has undergone in the
last fifty or sixty years. from simple
unmixed romanticism TO simply un-
mixed realism or naturalism, and
thence to the complex ideal-the ideal

I'VE have money enough" shrieks
the New York Commercial Advertiser,
in a criticism of one of Bryan's
speeches. We are glad our New York
contemporary is satisfied. but there are
several people in this country who
think they need more. BY the way, it
was the Commercial Advertiser that
told US during the panic of 1884 that
we had money enough, but didn't know
how to take care of it. Since then the
volume of circulating medium has in
creased very materially, relieving the
pressure to some extent, but the dan
ger point is not yet passed. Still the
gcldbug press keeps on repeating, par
rot-like, the words it was told TO use in
1896: I'VE have money enough"

NO SUCH ALLIES WANTED.

One of the worst features of this
Philippine business is the encourage
ment of strife among the islanders
Peace can never be restored at this
rate. There win be fights without end
between Tagals and Negritos, between
Mohanmedans and the converts of
Catholicism and the uproar will be in
cessant, If the present policy of melting
one tribe to make war upon another is
pursued. These tropical countries are
veritable hotbeds of instruction any
how. Revolutions flourish as does the
vegetation Peace is an unknown
quantity under the most favorable cir
cumstances, and when strife is en-
couraged peace flies away in alright
In spite of these conditions the New
York Mail and Express gives voice to
a somewhat brutal exultation which is
echoed in other organs of conquest It
rejoices that-the rebellious Tagals are
now doomed because "a force of the
sultan's subjects have, without solicit
tation, taken the field against the in
surgents in the important island of
Mindanao''
Does it realize the significance of this
fact? The Tagals constitute the So
called Christian portion of the Philip
pine population. They are the prose
lytes Of Catholic missionaries-the fruits
of centuries of patient toll and training.
The sultan's subjects are Mohamme-
dams of the most fanatical order. They
belong to the secret order whose mem
bers believe that it is necessary to
STAY a professed Christian in order to
attain the state of the blest. They hold
that the amount of glory they obtain in
the hereafter is proportional to the
Christian blood they spill on earth.
This explains their anxiety to raid the
Tagals. 1t isn't loyalty to this repub-
lie. Only a fool would think so.
The chief who has volunteered to
lead the Musselmans is thus lauded by
the New York organ OF imperialism:
We are at least in possession of the I'M
disputed name of Datto Mundi the par
ticular chief who sought permission TO
lead his tribesmen-as he die successfully
against the rebels who held the capt.
tai city of Mindanao. We are likely to
hear more of this same Detto, who is
evidently something OF a fighter him
self and began his cooperative work by
carrying an American flag
That flag should be taken away from
him. He should be ordered back upon
his reservation. It may be necessary
in the course of human events to kill a
lot of Tagals: there may be no better
way to bring order out Of chaos, al
though we doubt it; the shortest way

XXI, THE MODERN FRENCH
DRAMA

The romantic Drama" as it is called,
is most Enthusiastically represented
by the plays of Huge. Dumas the ell
der and De Vigny. Its essential princi-
pies, as defined by those who brought
it into being, were the denying the va
lidity of all rules and the claiming a
liberty to disregard in the construction
of plays the long honored three uni
ties time,' place and action
These principles, put into practice, be-.

a hard lot, incapable of appreciating

of the whole outfit and get out the bet
ter. Once peace is restored we Should
