Honer's Idea of Fusion.

w. G. Hoffer, of Lincoln, who made
the race for congress in the Sixth dis
trict two years ago on a straight dem
ocratic ticket, has ideas concerning
the basis that should be adopted in
forming coalition of democrats and
populists this fall. He says: IF
there is a coalition the populists
should be given the nominees for the
state legislature in both it's branches
provided they vote for a democrat
for United States senator-and the
democrats should be given the nomi-
nees for congress. Why? Because a
democrat in congress viii "cut some
ice;" populist in the legislature viii
amount to something. A populist in
congress at this time when the party
has no national organization or sig
niicance, will amount to no more
than a SNOWFALL in a tropical climate;
and a democrat in the legislature of
Kansas will amount to no more. Give
us a coalition; but let it be based upon
something tangible; not on air.

Stuart Robson.

The very name of the play "Oliver Gold smith," not to say that of the players, is an attraction, for Goldsmith sone of the most admired and most beloved of all the writers who have adorned English litera- ture, and his too short life Che was born in TIPS and died in 1774) is full of incidents of mingled humor and pathos The warmth of his affection, the tenderness of his heart, the genielity of his wit, the rowing pro- pensities and vacillation of his mind and the exquisite refinement Of his literary taste, are all presented in his immortal works of verse and prose. While the cor respondence and recorder remarks of his contemporaries have not failed to not his faults-his reckless improvidence, his van- ity his love of pleasure, his occasional dullness of conversation-and the end of his career in misery and overwhelmed with debts, Garricks mock epitaph is perhaps best remembered:
 "Hher lies Molly Goldsmith, for short- ness called Noll,
 Who wrote like an angel, and talk'd like poor Poll"
 The first act of "Oliver Goldsmith shows the mistake of night, an event in Gold smiths life which was afterwards unitliz- ed as the nucleus of his famous comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer" The second act shows the manner in which that comedy was rehearsed on the stage o fthe Covent Garden Theatre in London, where later its first presentation before the public met with such unanimous approval. In the third act of MT. Thomas comedy he shows the life of the "best poet, best writer, best dramatist of his day. in garret in Finch Lane. where he has been driven by poverty, and where he is overwhelmed with debts and threatened with conviction by a shrew of a landlady.
 Dramatic reviewers In sptaking of this production at the hands of Stuart Robson and his clever associates, have been al- most to a unit in the belief that it is the best vehicle Mir Robson has acquired dur ing his long and honorable career on the comedy stage of this country. Be that as 1t may the fact remains that he has given the production splendid scenic and cos- tune investiture and furthermore, has sur rounded himself with a company of more than capable artists, who by their com- bined presence, are said to add not a little to the atmosphere that Robsonian are al- ways engenders.

THEY STAYED AT HOME.

From the Springfield Republican.
 The first thing to be noted Is the aggre- gate vote for the two candidates. It is 13,- 6O8,5l7 this year, compared with 1S,62O659 in 1S9s-being actually smaller than four years ago. notwithstanding the considerable addi- tion to the decorate made by growth in population. It is evident that a number of voters, exceeding this addition by some IT, GOO, either stayed away from the polls or voted the third party tickets. As a matter of fact, the larger number of them stayed away from the polls. As election day was a pleasant one in point of weather. it Is obvious that opposition to Mc<inley's im- perialistic policy was equally balanced, in the minds of many thousands of voters. by opposition to CT feaS sf 6ss effects of Bryan's election on the financial and in- dustrial situation.

DAVID B HILL IS

His Political Lieutenant Says MT. Hill Wants the Democrat
 ic Nomination

Chicago, December 10. - The Chronicle will say tomorrow:
 David Bennett Hill, ex-Governor of New York and former United States Senator, IS to be a prominent candidate for the Presi- dency on the Democratic ticket in 1904. A declaration that is equivalent to a personal announcement by the New York man was made last night by James K. McGuire, Mir. Hills political lieutenant, Mayor of Syra- cuse and chairman of the executive com mittee of the New York State organiza- ton. MT. Mcclure arrived here yesterday.
 "Ex-Senator. Hill is very much lige Grow CT Cleveland was politically" said MT. Me Guire. MT. Hill is not as strong as he might be in the State organization, but he is wonderfully strong in the nation. Should the Republican policy of colonization prove a failure and the nation four years hence require a conservative, clear-headed, able man, whose Democracy never has been questioned, then the choice of the national convention will doubtless be MT. Hill. If the radical element of the party develops strength enough to again get into the sad dIe then the nominee will be Bryan or some other man-not Hill"
