THE CHRISTIAN"
Finely Presented to a Large Audience
at the Hyperion Last Night.

Finely Presented to a Large Audience
at the Hyperion Last Night.
Hall Gaines play "The Christian
was presented at the Hyperion last
night to a large audience which seemed
to be enthralled by the excellent COM
panv and thrilled by the play. Miss
Lila Vane was seen as Glory Quayle,
and the clever way in which this skill
ed actress presented the part showed
that the character suffered nothing in
her hands Miss Vane was repeatedly
encored. and was well deserving OF the
APPLAUSE awarded. John Storm was
portrayed by Henry Kolker, who is a
very accomplished actor, and his SPLEEN
did work did much to enhance the sue
cees of the performance, his acting iii
the third act, when the mob attack him
in the club rooms, rose to high stand
ard of excellence. 1t was acting, and
not ranting, showing that great care
had been taken to study the character.
Frank Roberts as Archdeacon Wealthy
gave fine conception of the part, his
presentation OF the proud churchman
who seemed to think that he was the
acme of religious sentiment, yet always
had q bone to pick with those with
whom he came in contact, was very
good. George Dickson, who was in the
original company, duplicated his former
successes when seen here before. Mr..
Coriger as Horatio Drake was also very
successful in the rendition of the part
and the Lord Robert IRE of Harold
Hartsell brought out some good acting.
A word of praise is due Adolphe Lest
ma as Father Lampllgh and Guy Mich
OILS as Parson Quayle. The supporting
company showed they had been careful
ly trained. The most touching situa-
ton is that which occurs just before the
curtain falls when Horatio Drake drops

this. And yet he must be a blind read
err OF the declaration of 1875 who does
not realize that independence was and is
after all, merely a means, not an end.
The end in view was the vfndication of
certain unalienable rights among
which Were life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" 1t was to secure that end
and to safeguard these rights that inde-
pendence was sought, and the revolt
against the British government was
made not at all for the sake of a nomi-
nal and theoretical independence. but be-
cause that government was ~systematical-
ly ana incorrigibly violating and deny
ing these rights. In brief. the makers of
the declaration were animated by the
so-called "sordid" motives of desiring
the material, intellectual and moral we'll
being of the people, and when they and
their successors completed their work in
the adoption of the constitution they did
50 with no reference to any mere doe
trine whether OF dependence or indepen-
dence, lbut for the very practical pur-
poses of establishing justice. insuring
domestic tranquility, promoting the gem
eral welfare and the like.
The logical problem before the Cuban
people is how they are to attain these
NA'S ~" W SSNulS llSll L liSlilSSlN CO
and to their posterity. And they are
coming pretty closely face to face with
a grievous doubt whether they can do
so without the continued tutelage of the
great power to which they have SD long
looked for inspiration and assistance,
and to whose direct and unselfish inter-
vention they entirely owe their redemp-
ton from the oppression of centuries.
They are beginning to see that-in home
ly 'phrase-they cannot eat their cake
n ave it, too. They cannot separate
themselves entirely from the United
States and at the same time retain and
enjoy the advantages of connection with
it. With Cuba under United States pro-
lection and control. this country would
necessarily promote the welfare of the
island, but it would be under no obliga-
ton to exercise n such solicitude for
the welfare of an independent Cuba.
Such are the considerations which now
largely impress the practical business
milne of Cuba, and they will probably not
be altogether without influence even
among the most ambitious politicians in
the constitutional convention.

Cuba's Commercial Considerations.

New York Trfbune:-There appears to
be developing in cuba IA contest between
Commercial and industrial interests and
political ambitions. At the present time
the latter are ostensibly in the lead. The
constitutional convention is SAT- to be
dominated by them. Its members, if re-
port be true, are largely politicians of the
revolutionary school,. who are more or
less committed to certain political shib-
boleths irrespective of their practical
bearing upon the welfare of the island.
They are inclined toward the absolute
Independence Of the island. not because
the people are ready for it. nor because
it will be best for them. but simply be-
cause independence is. as a theory and
a doctrine, attractive. They are. of
course, entitled to that view of the case,
and their arguments will receive due
consideration. Beyond doubt. thousands
of men have willingly died for a senti-
ment or an idea Of no more Importance
than the idea of Independence.
The commercial and industrial inter-
ests of the island are. however. begin
ming to make themselves heard. They
are asking which will be better. and
which will better serve the true interests
of the Cuban people, a Cuba Independent

disorder, or a Cuba peaceful, prosperous,
rich and under the protection and direc-
ton of the United States. And they are
more and more coming to see that the
latter Cuba is scarcely to tbe realized
without the last named condition. \
primary requisite of commercial and in
dustrial prosperity is confidence: the
confidence of domestic and foreign capt.
tai in the stability and integrity OF the
political system. 1t may be that an en-
tirely independent Cuban government
would be worthy Of such confidence. but
it is practically certain that 1t would
not now, and could not for at least many
years, m it. Nor would a pro-
tracted period of lack of confidence con-
duce to a state of affairs calculated to
win confidence.
If it be said that these are sordid con-
ceptionS. and that political independence
is to be preferred to a mere peace, pros
perity and material, intellectual and
moral welfare, the answer is that such
is not the American idea. No nation ever
demanded independence more strenu-
ously or Won it more heroically thar did

Meier mind the wintry weather; the oak

An the frisky tiddle's goin', an there's

An all the world is happiness, an all

Life still has lots of joy in store, an
Sorrows taking wing!

worlds just as of old:
The Woodlands rain their silver-the hills
are crowned with gold
An life has all of happiness the arms OF

The salmon packers of the Pacific
coast, as we'll as the eastern meat pack
ers. might with profit devote some time
to considering the following extract
from the report of Consul Stowe of Cape
Town, South Africa:
Fresh salmon is worth in England W
shillings six pence go cents a pound.
Thousands of cans of Alaska salmon are
exported from the United States to Eng
land. rebranded and sold as English
salmon at an advance of from six pence
to eight pence az to 16 eents) a dozen
tins. The same may be said of ham. [
am informed that nine-tenths of the We'll
known English hams are of American
production. cured in England. Not until
the United States manufacturers insist
upon their own brands being placed on
tins of salmon, and export hams cured
to suit foreign taste, will they derive
the benefit that is their due.

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.

The coming session of congress. which
convenes IN Monday next. will last only
three months. although IN that short per-
iod of time q. nursber of measures of I'M
p~ortan"e will come IN. Among the bills
that will he introduced early IN the ses-
sion will be a Measure to ~reapportion the
representation in the house. The army
bill will be among the very first to re-
ceive consideration, while the sub-com-
mittee on ways and means is preparing
a bill to reduce the war taxes upon lines
already announced in the dispatches.
The majority leaders may insist upon
having action taken on the shipping bill,
although this Will depend somewhat
upon circumstances, according to the lat
est reports. The Nicaragua canal bill
comes up on December 10. The commit
tee will favor the Nicaragua route and
the report will show that the canai can
be constructed at a cost of not more than
SliO, 900, 900. the amount fixed by the Hep
burn bill, which was passed 10y the house
at the last session. In brief. the meas
ure provides for the construction of the
canal on a scale thai will permit the pas
sage of the vessels of largest tonnage
from Graytown, on the Atlantic, to
B1ito, on the Pacific. The distance across
the isthmus is only 1877 miles, and will
save the long water trip of thousands
of miles around the Horn. What this
means to the republic is shown by the
fact that the distance by water from
New York to San Francisco IS nosw 49,
S43 miles, and the trip seldom entails
less than 10000 miles.
The president is authorized to secure
from Costa Riea n Nicaragua the
rights off way, and this part of the work
is now in shape to be closed up.
The great waterway is to be builtdirect-
lv by the United States government, the
ergineering work to be lone by the army
and navy engineering corps.

tairs a list Of the thirty most popular
books Of the month as shown by reports
from public libraries scattered over the
country from San Francisco to Hartford,
and which may be taken as fairly rep
resenting the sentiment Of the reading
public, or at least, the part Of it that
is chiefly devoted to fiction. The interest
that has been awakened in Chinese az

In the big eastern cities there is a
growing demand for the coinage of half
cents, and it is said that the demand is
likely to be complied with. There is a
difference of opinion as to the real ben
eft to be derived from the use of any
coin smaller than the penny, the opposi-
ton being largely based upo the theory
that the use of small coins will tend to
reduce the wages of workingmen. 1t is
difficult to see how the small coins coult
have any such tendency, md, indeed,
the present demand is made largely by
the wives of laborers, who contend that
they could make the wages go further by
using the half cent.

When Count Boni de Castellane came
into Anna Gould's fortune. the problem
of sq%uandering it quickly enough rather
staggered him. but he soon devised ex-
travagances enough to do credit even to
a bankrupt French " A pretty little
innovation of his was the dwarf cherry
tree, which was small enough to pass
around at the banquet table. The num-
Der Of cherries to each tree, or rather
bush, was limited to a hundred, with
the result that the fruit was of an eX-
~traordinary quality. both as to size and
flavor. In producing his result. each
cherry cost about 81, and as the count
would have a dozen trees at a spread,
this little feature aided him materially
in getting through the Gould fortune.
