Case Where Two Actors Displayed

A Case Where Two Actors Displayed
Presence of Mind.
A short time ago a great historical
play was being given In an Italian
thcater, The king had to read his
speech from the throne. He was sur
rounded by the court all the repre-
sentative mobiles of the nation, the gov
errors of the provinces and the heads
Of the army.
Clad In his magnificent robes Qlned
with rabbit skim he stalked majestic
ally across the stage, and, with fitting
hauteur, slowly assembled the steps
leading to the throne. Every one bowed
low, and the chancellor handed to his
majesty the parchment roll from which
to read the royal speech.
All waited attentlvely to catch the
words from the royal lips. but his mai
esty found, 10 ms chagrin, tnat 4Lo
roll was blank. The speech was long
and had not been committed to MEM
Ory
1t was impossible to get through Ii
with the aid Of the prompter, for he
was too far away to render the need
full service. A bright thought passed
through the royal brain.
Having glanced over the roll as II to
gather the gist of the speech, he again
folded it and handed 1t back to the
chancellor with the commands:
You read it,"
The chancellor was somewhat put
out, but dutifully took the roll and
opened it, only to discover the royal
pleasantly, whcrcupon, again rolling
the parchment up and taking from his
breast the resplcndcnt tin order, he
laid them together mt the kings feet,
with:
your majesty, as | cannot read the
speech, | tender my resignation" and
walked off the stage.

Though there appears TO be no such

The Real Issue.

PARADOXICALLY, w. ]. Bryan, the
greatest enemy of the Republican
party, and of the Nation, has proved
its greatest benefactor. This is so be-
cause Mr.. Bryan, through his whole
devotion to a vicious principle, has
compelled the Democratic party in its
platform to make a distinct issue of
that fa1lacy. Had not the personality
of w. J. Bryan dominated the Kansas
City convention, the currency plank in
their platform would have been mon
gre1 with no distinguishing marks,
against which it would have been al
most impossible to bring intelligent
opposition. II might have been made
the basis of all kinds of a11uring prom
Uses, while not presenting single OPP
portunity for serious charge. Upon
such chimera, the Democratic party,
with the aid of demagogica1 campaign
.oratory might have been able to erect
unmistakable declaration of prin-
-cip1e, as owing to the omnipotence Oh
Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic party has
been unwi11ing1y compelled to put into
its platform on the currency question
the followers of Bryan and Stevenson
can make absolutely struggle. The
money plank of the Democratic party
is bare, bold declaration of 10 to l
of a As cent dollar, reputation of s.
per cent of our obligations, nationa
discredit, and all the other heresies o.
the Chicago platform of go. It is the
real issue. 1t cannot be hidden BY
imperialism whitewash. Like Ban
euo's ghost, sit will not down." bur
unlike it it IS only too visible to all who
Bryan would invite to his feast. AS
Horace White, formerly Of the New
York Evening Post, said, Writing il
down that imperialism is the para
mount issue does not make it so. The
declaration for 10 to l is there just as
1T was in 1896" Whatever the plat
form might be in other respects the
currency plank overshadows the whole.
The result has been as might have
been expected. The ''stalwarts'' all
over the country have bo1ted the pa rfg

TO FIGHT THE CHINESE.
Chester G. Smith of This City Enlists az
Member Of the Fifth Regiment, U. S. A.

Chester c. Smith, former member
of Company L, Wisconsin National
Guard, left Kenosha this afternoon to
go to Fort Sheridan to enlist as a
private in the Fifth regiment of the
army. Smith will enter the cavalry
and will begin active service at once.
Fore Sheridan is stirred over an
official order directing the depot bata1-
ion~of the Fifth United States infantry
to go to China. Great preparations
are being made and three weeks have
been allowed within which the detach-
meut must be ready to embark.
Two batalions of the regiment are
now in Cuba, and are expected to return
in about two weeks. They will be
given a weeks rest, when they also
will sail for the orient. Col. Richard
Comba, in charge of the Fort Sheri-
dan post, and comma nding officer of
the regiment, will probably have com
mand of the expedition. The regiment

The sad news of the accident came

the accident, hurried to the station
and when he viewed the remains he at
once identified them as those of his
nephew. The remains of Miss Bien-
nemann were identified by her
brothers.
The finding of the bodies will be
looked upon as one of the saddest
events of the contemporary history of
the city, and while it may be that the
mystery surrounding their tragic
death may have been carried with them
to the pillows of the lake, the heart
felt sympathy of TIE entire city will go
out to the friends and relatives of the
young people and the homes which
have been saddened and darkened by
this sad and sudden visitation of the
death angel will in part be frightened
by loving aid and sympathy.

CONFIRMS THE SALE.
Chicago Papers Tell of the Sale of the
Railway Franchise to c. & NE

The sale of the Haynes-Clausen
ordinance to B. ]. Arnold, as intimated
by this paper few days ago, is now
stated as a positive fact, and this
morning the Chicago Chronicle con-
firms the sale with the following
article:
ut was reported in Chicago yester-
day that the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway company of this city
had purchased the franchise recently
granted to Messrs. Haynes and C1au-
sen for the construction of a street
railway in Kenosha, Wis. According
to the report, the deal was closed yes
terday morning by B. d. Arnold, the
representative of the Chicago com
pany.
cit Was also reported that the pur-
chase of the Kenosha franchise is the
beginning of fight between the Chi
cago and Milwaukee company and the
Milwaukee company, which is also
seeking a franchise for the construc
ton of a line in Kenosha. If the two
companies fail to come to an under
standing it is reported that the
purchasers of the Kenosha franchise
will build line to Milwaukee, paral-
Icing the tracks of the Milwaukee
company at Racine and Kenosha.
"The Chicago and Milwaukee
company has already gained control
of the tracks and right of way as far
as Waukegan, and during the last two
weeks it has surveyed line between
Waukegan and Kenosha. The new
company will Immediately begin the
construction of the Kenosha line, and
it is expected that work will be begun
on the through line without delay I'M
less the Milwaukee company agrees to
a union of the two lines.
81. H. Van V1issingen, the Chicago
real estate man, who, it is reported, is
backing the Chicago and Milwaukee
company, was absent from his office at
| 95 Dearborn street when the report
reached this city yesterday afternoon.
He had gone to his home at Winthrop
Harbor and the report could not be
verified"
Mr.. Arnold was in Kenosha yester-
day and made some efforts to secure the
bonds for the company, and it is stated
that the bonds will probably be given
by the Northwestern Loan and Trust
company. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Arnold and the company back of him
to build the line at once.

Senator Spooner the gubernatorial
nomiuee< Of the Republican party.
And why not? It requires nothing
less than travail for the Republicans
of this State 10 reconcile themselves to
the retirement from the Senate of
John G. Spooner, to forego the pride
that they have taken in the contenpla-
august body Is from the Badger
state. But Senator Spooner has ex-
pressed his determination to retire in
such language that protests, however
strong, seems of no avail. If there is
nothing in the duties of the states
chief executive that meets Senator
Spooner's reasons for retiring from
the Senate, what is to prevent making
him the Governor of the state that he
has SO splendid1y represented in the
Upper House? Where could be found
man more fitted by virtue of a rips
experience and by virtue Of ability!
Clearly there is nothing in the way,
while there are the greatest possible
considerations making it advisable.
Let the convention nominate Sena-
tor Spooner, and the state will be
assured an able administration for
four years, the Republican party will
at once recover its strength and integ
rity, and Sthe dangers that now SO
closely threaten the political welfare
of the state as well as the Republican
party will be swept away.

Sixteen to one has gained for the Re
publican party such old Democratic
leaders as Gen. John M, Palmer,
George Foster Peabody, ex-senator
George f. Edmunds, Abrams. Hewitt,
George G. Williams and Alexander E.
Orr, and such papers as the St. Paul
Globe and the Charlotte, N. c.,
Observer.
Speaking of the platform Mr.. Will
liams, a Democrat and president OF
the famous Chemical National Bank
says, "Sixteen to one tolls the knell OF
the Democratic party " Alexander E.
Orr, late president of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, has declared
his position in the following terms:
II am Democrat, and have always
voted the Democratic ticket when its
principles and it's candidates permitted
me to do so. I cannot vote for Mr..
Bryan, though, and the only course
left to me is to give my support to the
Republican National ticket. The
action of the Kansas City convention
has been very disp1easing to me. It
has reaffirned the hideous Chicago
p1atform-that embodiment of hnan-
cial immortality and revolutionary
vio1ence-and it puts forward as the
leader of Democracy the same vo1ua-
Die, shallow, fal1acious and head
strong man The currency
issue is the paramount issue, no mat
ter what certain Democrats, who have
not the courage of Mr.. Bryan, say to
the contrary. It is on the currency
question that the battle will again be
waged. Any attempt to force this
issue to the rear will meet with failure.
And on that issue the so-Called Demo
cratic party cannot hope for anything
but overwhelming defeat. The finan-
cia1 and commercial. depressions which
prevailed in 1896 have passed away.
Never has there been SO much pros
perity in ali classes. All this success,
national prosperity and satisfaction is
the death knel1 of Organism which
grew out of and can only exist and
fatten on dissatisfaction. It is almost
incredible that the Democratic leaders
could not-foresee this and resist the
manipu1ations of Bryan

The kenosha Library association,
Wh1cn has been such a power for the

now thing of the past, for after the
meeting of the association held at the

Tuesday evening, the association ad-
journed sine die.
There is some regret as the old asso-
citation passes into history, for the
work of the association has been we'll
done, and the members had laid the
foundation for the building of the
Gilbert M. Simmons library.
The work of the meeting was OF an
uninteresting nature. resolution
was adopted transferring all the books
and other equipments of the library to
the Board of Directors of the Gilbert

of the old association were ordered to
make the transfer.
