VAUDEVILLE IN the CAMPAIGN


theatrical people say that the public
likes 70 be amuEed rather than Instructed
AMI that this accounts for the decline Of
the Legitimate" drama and the rise and
popularity u the vaudeville show. the
Continuous performance" where all Is
tinsei and ridiculousness and laughter.
Apparently the Republican party means to
Try vaudeville In the campaign this year
and see II IL 10 az easy to gather votes
with political isugh-compellers as the
theatrical managers find it to gather dol
lars With the funny men and women on
the stage.
The frs, intimatiou Of this purpose on
the part Of the Republican party was
noted at the Philadelphia convention when
the bosses. by neat sIeighe-of-hand trick
brought about the nomination for Vice
President Of a premier equestrian per-
former and expert with bowie knives. pig-
tolls and guns; a man whom Buffalo Bill
would no doubt like 10 have with his VIA
West aggregation. This gentleman has
lately been giving some very amusing per-
formaBces in various parts OF the coun-
Try. and promises 10 continue 20 do so until
the time OF the election. He has. by the
way, lately added 70 his repertory the feat
Of opening his mouth and putting his foot
into A. This does not please the man
ayers Of the aggregation. but the Demo-
Gratis enjoy IT,
A second feature Of the Republican show
may be called the Mystic Maze of Mill
tsrlsm over which Is the Rainbow Of I'm
perialism. These are lectured on by
many "barkers." who assert that there is
a way out OF the maze, and that at the end
Of the rainbow there IL pot OF gold. But
they themselves do not know how to get
through the maze, or how TO secure the
gold.
Another feature that has Just been de-
tcrmined upon, for use in the West is the
lady humorist and entertainer" She
Will make her appearance in California
within a few days. II Will be her business
TO appear at campaign meetings and tell
humorous stories and sing funny songs
that have political bearing Many of her
stories will be in coon" dialect and a
number Of the songs will be rag time.
She will be expected. for the benefit OF
the ladies. TO bring In a few human in

The management meanwhile. is open
TO engage other specialists in the enter
tanning line A few lightning change ar
lists. TO give demonstrations of quick
transformations from plain duty" to
trust demands, might find employment
with the great Republican show. Several
first-rate contortionists. who could show
that a stiff backbone is not really needed
in certain businesses. might also be found
available.

The Lion Visits the Barber.
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harpers Magazine.
There was once lordly lion with most
imposing air,
And his splendid head was covered with
a tawny shock Of hair;
1t was parted in the middle and 1t hung
on either side,
And ID isn't any wonder that it was the
lions pride.
But his wife was very prosy; she was
domineering, too,
And she said, THAT artists mop of silky
hair will never do.
As the noble game Of football does not fill
you with delight;
AS you do not play plano at a concert
every night;
AS you nevere painted pictures. and for
acting do not care
Why, you really have no business with
that silly shock of hair"
Now. the lion, though a fighter, did not
like domestic strife,
And he'd found that to avoid II he must
mind his little wife.
So, he answered very sweetly, What
you say is always right.
I will part with my adornment. II you
wish, this very night;
You're my only little wiley: / obey at
your behest;
l will even shave my whiskers II you
think it's for the best"
She took him TO the BARRIERS, and the bar
Der shouted "Nextw
And the lion was be-aproned, though he
felt extremely vexed
Then his wife said to the barber. "Cut 1t
close or even shorter;
Why. in fact, take all the hair Off that
you care 70 for a quarter"
So the barber piled his scissors and he
cue with main and might
All t0O g0Op thp foh pfaa Gnfzbad aNd
the lion was a fright
First he looked into fhe mirror then he
gave an awful roarl-
And the barber and his scissors-they
were never heard of more.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Under the caption, "A Bugle Call TO
Americans" the Charleston News and
Courier Oem) says of Mr.. Bryan's
speech THE keynote of Mr.. Bryan 5
speech is that the republic is in danger,
that the liberties of the people are threat
ened. that the few have already amassed
great wealth and the mighty trusts and
corporations which are engaged in amass-
ing greater and greater fortunes, who re-
gard a dollar more important than a
life, have already obtained a strong hold
on the government, and that imperialism
is but one of the methods they have
adopted to strengthen their power, to OBJ
tain great standing army. by which 10
control the masses of the people at home,
who in heir opinion are like the Fillpinos.
IN that they do not know how to govern
themselves. If we would save our own
liberties we must respect the liberties of
others. We must not provide armies 10
subdue the Filipnos without rejecting
that those same armies may be used to
subdue us. Mr.. Bryan, moreover, does
not leave the Filipino question up in the
air. lie does not say what we must not
do. and leave 10 somebody else to suggest
what We must do. He announces clear
and distinct policy which he will follow if
elected"
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep)
says: North Carolina has yet to prove
that II can disfranchise 5000 voters and
still claim the same representation in Con-
gress." To this the Memphis Commercial
Appeal (Dem) replies: What then shan
be done 10 Massachusetts which has dis
franchlsed fully 265,000 voters? Massachu-
cetts has an educational Qualification and
the Australian ballot system. According to
the census OF 1880 there were G65, OO9 voters
crates. The total vote of 1896 was 4Ol, j6S
which is 265000 less than the total popula-
ton. This enormous number OF voters
was OF course DISTINGUISHED by the election
laws Of Massachusetts. That state would
consequently lose 40 per cent. of its repre-
sentation in Congress"
The Columbia Is. CO State (Dem) says:
Charles A. Towne houors himself by his
declination. yet even more by the terms
in which 1t Is expressed. There was and
could have been no doubt that he would de-
cline for he is a patriot and his heart is
in the success of Bryan"
The Atlanta Journal CDem) says: "Mr
Bryan has never made an ADLER, more
statesmsnlike or more timely address TO
the country. II will add largely TO his
reputation and will enhance greatly the
prospect of his election"
