ply the Constitution as it has regularly

raw sugar for revenue purposes. To this extent
they destroyed the basis OF Republican rcciprU-
CITY. But the Republicans passed another tariff
bill with duty on raw sugar and also duty
on hides. They have, therefore, sgnally failed
to restore that reciprocity which they say the
Democrats destroyed, but on the contrary have
gone a step further. 1t is true the Dingley bill
provides for reciprocity treaties and arrange

manager has no right to deceive the pub
lie and debauch its taste in that way.
A distinction should be drawn between
plays in which for good and sufficient rea-
sons questionable characters are introduced
where the plot demands it. and those in
which suggestive incidents, lines. and ideas
are dragged in for their own sake. The one
may be art; the other is simple rotten
ness. One might suppose from the way in
which some nlaywrights have catered to
the taste OF the American people that they
believed it to have the ideas and proclivi-
ties Of the buzzard. 'Sapho" deals with
facts which. in order to be tolerable at all

most carefully. and considered solely in

This is apparent both in the work Of the
playwright and Of the actress. Miss Meth

that a respectable actress can play the part
Of a disreputable heroine and add to her

A BOOM FOR JUDGE PARKER.
The New York Jurist Suggested nS
the Democratic Nominee.
NEW YORK. March s.-The 'Brooklyn

NEW YORK. March 6.-The Brooklyn
Eagle" tonight says;
"A serious effort is being made by prom
fnent members OF the Manhattan Club
across the river. to induce Alton p. Parker.
Chief Judge Of the Court Of Appeals Of the
State. to become a candidate for the Presi-
Dental nomination in the next Democratic
Convention. which will meet in Kansas
City on July 4. Conferences Of an Informal
character have already been held. and there
is a strong belief among the members that.
Notwithstanding the fact that Bryan has
the party machinery in the West. he has
not enough TO get the two-thirds vote nec-
essary to a nomination.
The plan TO make Judge Parker a Presi-
Dental candidate Is laid at the door OF
David b. Hill. who discovered him IN
Ulster county several years ago and was
attracted to him BY his talents and the
charm Of his personality. Mr.. HHrs first
service 10 Judge Parker was to aid in plar-
ing him on the Supreme Court bench.
where he made an enyiable record for him
self. and later In nominating him for chief
judge OF the Court OF Appeals.
In that campaign Judge Parker headed
the Democratic ticket and admitted on an
sides the fact that he had supported Bryan
the year before. Democrats OF the hard
money type in the Manhattan Club believe
this circumstance. with his exalted posi-
tion at the head OF the bar OF New York
State and the fact that he has farmed
and lived in rural districts all his life. gives
him a peculiar fitness for Presidential
honOrs at this time"
The movement to make Judge Parker a
candidate is not likely to succeed. His
friends say tonight that having attained
the ambition of a lifetime he would not
resign as chief judge of the Court Of Ap-
peals in order to mako the hazardous race
as a Democratic Presidential candidate.

the wishes OF every eminent New York
State Democrat are carried cut, the fol-
lowing will be the four delegates at large

LORD PAUNCEFoTE TO REMAIN.

Lord Pauncefote. the British Ambassador.
received a despatch yesterday from Lord
Salisbury. the British Minister for Foreign
Affairs. informing Lord Pauncefote OF the
decision OF Her Majesty's Government to
retain him indefinitely as representative OF
Great Britain in Washington. The de-
spasch said that In view Of the tendency
of the Hay PauncefOte Treaty and other
matters which Lord Pauncefote was di-
rectly concerned in. it had been deemed
advisable to have him remain in Wash
ington for the time being. Lord Paunce-
fote called at the State Department late
yesterday afternoon and informed Seere-
tary Hay. who congratulated the ambassa-
dor on the honor conferred on him by his
Government.
Lord PauncefOte reached the retiring age
OF the British diplomatic service in Feb
ruary. 1889 but. on account Of his inti-
mate acquaintance with pending interna-
tional questions. he was accorded the IN
usual honor Of being retained On the se-
tive list The period of his additional
service was to have expired on April l Of
this year. and Lord Pauncefote had made
all arrangements for leaving Washington
on the 2Sth instant. He was to have sailed
from New York for England on the follow
