Will Eclipse All Similar
Productions,
And will be Given For a Most
Worthy Cause.
Prof. W. B. Melville Of Detroit win
Stage the Play.

The Carnival Of Musical Romances
and Terpsichorean Revcls," which
will be given at the Grand Opera
house. for the benefit Of the Akron
City hospital, on the evenings Of April
10, 20 and 21, promises to eclipse any
thing of its kind ever given in this
city.
The carnival will be given by Ak
ron's society leaders, and 400 people
will appear upon the stage. The cast
is fast being organized and rehearsals
for the various dances, have already
begun.
Prof. w. B. Melville, of Detroit,
Mich, the originator of the famous
entertainment, is in the city, and will
give the production of the carnival
his personal attention. Prof. Melville
staged America" in Chicago, during
the Columbian exposition. Wherever
the Carnival of Musical Romances
and Terpsichorean Revels," has been
given, it has received the unstinted
applause of the public.
Mr.. Il. H. Coates of Lexington, Ky,
Is also in the city in the interest of the
carnival and, with the assistance of
Col. John C. Bloomfield, will manage
the production of the play in Akron.
Mr.. Coates has four entertainments
booked for Ohio. all of which will re-
quire his attention. One of the en-
tertalnments will be given in Toledo,
for the Ohio Centennial commission.
Mr.. Coates stated to a representa-
tive of the Democrat, Friday, that
he was desirous of giving Akron n
superdne performance. While the
best local talent has been secured to
assist in the carnival's production. the
management will strengthen the cast
by bringing to the city four profess
sionols who will assume important
parts.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAY.
In time, the carnival reaches from
ancient mythology, to the present
and embraces in its scope and purpose
the most beautiful of dances-from the
quaint aud stately Minuet of the
time of Louis XVI to the latest fig
ures in the modern cotillion which is
creating so much furore among the
400 Of Gotham.

Bryan on Pensions.

Mr.. Bryan's utterances about the SOL
diers of the Civil War are worth repeat
ing. Mr. Bryan, as editor Of the Omaha
World Herald, passed this Nov. IS. 1892:
'The next session Of Congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
$50, 600, 900. This is on account Of PEN
sions. The appropriation for next year
must be not less than $50, 900, 900. It Is
therefore easy arithmetic to perceive that
the appropriation that Congress must
make must aggregate not less than $780,
OO00 900. This tremendous sum would
In itself be enough to run a reasonable
government. One would not complain
IL 1t were an honest debt, but large pro-
portion is not debt because It was new
er earned by any act Of patriotism or
heroic service. The government Is held
up and despolled OF no mean portion Of
this and it seems helpless to defend it
self. One cannot help being curious to
know how many more years II will take
to exhaust the generation which feels
itself injured by the war. 1t Is safe to
say that never did a generation display
such remarkable longevity"
Isn't II about time that Mr.. Bryan was
attacking the Spanish war pensioners?

defensive. AGAINST the Filipinos as a peo-


defensive, against the Filipinos as peo-
pie. The Filipinos number probably ten
millions Of people and two millions OF
men capable Of bearing arms. Ii they
were united in war against us, the little
army which We have there would scarce
ly be circumstance in their way. But
the majority Of the Filipinos are quiet,
docile people, not disposed to fight and
not engaged in the insurrection now prae-
tically quelled. Aguinaldo had compar-
atiyely few supporters outside Of his own
tribe, the Tagalogs, who comprise prob
ably one-tenth Of the whole mass Of Fill
pinos. He, in his mad effort for abso-
lutte rule, attacked the forces of the Unit
ed States, and We were compelled to quell
the insurrectiop.
3. The United States troops are in the
Philippines for the protection Of the peo-
pie from murder, rapine and misrule, and
for the preservation of law, order and
property rights. For many years there
have been robber bands in the mountains
who would from time to time light down
upon the villages and rob and murder the
people. The Spaniards paid no attention
TO the interior, but protected only the
coast. Last spring one Of these bands
attacked a Filipino village and, in addi-
ton to the robbery and killing, carried
away thirty Filipino women to the hills.
Two companfrs>of United States soldiers
pursued them, attacked and dispersed the
band. and restored the women to their
friends. We are bringing to these islands

DEAR BOY" 6
My Dear Boy:

My Dear Boy:
So your employer, Mr.. Skinner, says
that 1.-The Filipinos ought TO have their
liberty and United States soldiers ought
to be in better business than making war
on an innocent people and strangling the
life out of new republic"
Since Mr.. Skinner has put in nutshell
the substance of Mr.. Bryan's speech,
shall dispose of Mr.. Bryan and the whole
anti-imperialist crew in answering Mr..
Skinner. know that you have but little
time to read and shall use the fewest
words possible, as l shall endeavor to
give you a clear, intelligent view OF the
situation over in our new possessions.
1. Our soldiers are not strangling the
life out of new republic, for the very
good reason that there never was any
republic in the Philippines. A republic
is government by the people through
their chosen representatives. The people
of the Philippines never were consulted
about the so-called Filipino Republic.
Its head was a tricky young Tagalog
named Aguinaldo, who proclaimed him
self dictator and endeavored to make
himself so by force of arms. Republics
are not governed by dictator. The form
of government which took the place Of
constitution in the so-called republic was
lengthy personal decree OF Aguinaldo
himself. 1t was not a republic but
despotism which he sought to establish.
The people Of the Philippine Islands are
made up Of many different tribes, Negri-
tos, Tagalogs, Moros, Yisayans, and more
than fifty others. These tribes are sep
arate in blood, sympathies. and to large
extent in language. In addition to them
there are thousands of Spaniards, Ger
mans, Americans, and people Of other ma
tons who are resident there. and whose
persons and property are to be protect
ed. In addition to all these are large
numbers Of Mestizos, people whose moth
ers were native Filipinos, but whose faith
ers were japanese, Chinese or Spaniards.
There is no probability that one-half
or one-third Of all these vast numbers of
people would consent to be governed by
Aguinaldo and the Tagalog tribe which
he represents. Many Of them would GER
tainly fight against it. The abandon
ment Of the islands by the United States
army would mean, not liberty to the peo-
pie, but war among themselves, result
ing in either despotism or anarchy.
Q. The United States has never made
war upon the Filipinos. We have not
even been engaged in war, offensive or

WILLIAM q. ANDERSON.
Gold supply Nearly Doubled.

Mr.. Bryan said in 1896. Eve want the
free coinage Of silver because there Is
not enough gold in the country to run
the finances" When he said this the
amount Of gold in circulation was $685.
1922. Since then the amount Of gold
in the country has increaserd to SS14.-
OG3, 155 In May, 1900. and Is almost dou-
bled. Is this enough" for Mr.. Bryan,
or has free silver some peculiar super
natural power over human aafirs, that
Mr.. Bryan still insists on the 42-cent
dollar? A cloud with q silver lining"
still befogs his brain.
