LOVELY HYPOCRISY
Little Tricks which show. What a
Consummate ACTRESS Is Patti.

A dramatic writer Of San Francisco
tells the following amusing story of
PATHS slast'yisit tosthe Pacific coast.
He was at the stationwithlmany Others
to meet the Hgreat diva when che ar
rived.
"The diva stepped. from, the train, :"
said the San franciscan, "and after
inhaling lung full; of fog remarked: /:
'Oh, this is heavenl All my. troubles
are paid for. Thank heaven, breathe
the air of San. Francisco 4oncel again +
This was alllverys sweet in the high
priced canarytbird, and the newspaper
boys were allidelighted.
However. it was only short time
before went, down to the train to meet
Patti at Salt Lake City. She was de-
scending fromSher car, and as her feet
touched the ground she exclaimed:
THANK heaven, I breathe the air Of
Salt Lake City once morel All my trou-
bles are paid for. Oh, this is heavenl'
The newspaper boys were all'delighted
with her.
Gas for myself, on both Of these oc-
casions 1 was delighted also-with the
diva's lovely hypocrisy, that accursed
sin which the poet tells us takes the
best men in. / never thought Patti
much of an actress, but 1 changed my
mind in this respect after,witnessing
these two exhibitions.
Nothing in the way Of s'lovely hy.
pocrisy" can surprise anybody who has
ever seen Patti on the concert stage
She rushes to the footlights, a,vision Of
smiling radiance, eyes swimming with
the moisture Of overpowering joy and a
look Of pleading affection oniherIcoun-
tenance, as If the present mon1entSwere
the happiest of her life and as ifs she
were consumed by an eager sdesire to
embrace and kiss everybody in the au-
dience. And she does it all so naturally
and spontaneously that the majesty of
the assemblage is instantly y'"mashed"
and would cheerfully lynch anybody
who would intimate that there,was any
acting" about it.

DEMOCRACY PRESENT AND PAST

There are twelve planks in the Demo-
cratic state platform, few Of
which recommend themselves to
thinking men. The first is
an evasive endorsement Of tho
Kansas City platform and ticket, with
both Bryan and Free Silver ignored in
the declaration, neither being popular
with the Democratic voters in Della
ware. The second plank deals with
''the good government enjoyed by the
reSple OF Delaware during
the many years in which our
state affairs have been mlisgcd
by Democratic officials" and lauds
Governor Tunnel for his clean admin
istration OF the affairs OF the office
II is to this plank that we
wish to give particular attention.
While we are willing to concede that
Mr.. Tunnel has made a fairly good ex-
ecutive, there are hundreds OF Repub-
licans in the state who could have per-
formed the work with just as much
credit to the state and satisfaction to
the people His record is clean, but
by no means brilliant. AS to the good
government which the people Of the
state have enjoyed under Democratic
rule. Of what does Il consist? Would
any Democratic State Convention dare
to point with pride to the assessment
and collection laws Of Democratic con-
ception and enactment which for many
years disfranchised thousands Of our
citizens? Would the Democratic
party make a specific declara
tion Of approval concerning
the shameful uses to which our
tax gathering machinery has been pu
to bolster up a deeayed Democracy
Would it recommend a searching anl
impartial investigation Of the erro
and delinquent lists allowed our tai
collectors to hide their personal an
political rascality from the taxpayers
Would it endorse as a brilliant chap

Of tax receipts in bulk for the free an
