THE THEATRES.

Michael Morton, who has made the dra-
matization of +. Hopkinson Smiths ''Ca-
leh West" which comes TO the Provi-
dence Opera House week after next, is
said TO have departed from the lines of
the novelist in but very slight degree
There have been some changes necessary
in order that the story might be put into
dramatic form, but the main idea is re-
tanned and so is the atmosphere OF the
novel. Caleb West" deals with real peo-
pie; people WHO car be found i'm any
small sea coast town: people who are fix
ed i'm their ideas of honesty and morality
and who seldom forgive any transgres-
sion of the rules laid down by their faith
ers and their grandfathers. The produc-
tion has been made by Jacob Lift who
has done everything possible to make the
play a success. All of the scenery, four
handsome settings. has been especially
painted by the best scenic artists In the
country, and the company is a most no
table one.

MANAGED IN WASHINGTON.

Charleston Gazette.
AS was stated in the Gazette sew
eral days ago, West Virginia politics,
on the Republican side, are run large
ly from Washington. No Republican
knows whether or not he is a candi-
date until he first makes a political
pilgrimage to Washington and has a
conference with the boss of the party.
A Washington paper says that the
political friends of Senator Elkins in
that city, now declare that his slate
for the State ticket is being generally
acquiesced in and accepted by the party
and will go through without bobble.
The friends of Senator Elkins in Wash
ington must be in close touch with the
situation in this State. That is eX-
actly the way the situation is sized up
by those on the ground. There has
never been any serious doubt about the
final result What would be the use
in having a political boss? The same
paper said further, that at Washing
ton it is considered as almost certain
that Senator Elkins cannot be re-elect-
ed to the Senate, and his friends are
pushing him for the nomination for
Vice President. This is another evil
dence of the fact that the Republicans
at Washington are in close touch with
the political situation in West Vir-
ginia.

THE WASTE OF WATER.

The waste of water for potable pur-
poses, pumped at large expense, by
costly plants, is one of the most eX-
asperating questions confronting
American city governments. Here in
Wheeling the daily consumption is
about 100000 gallons, and is steadily
increasing. On a basis Of 10000 popu-
lation this is $50 gallons per day for
every man, woman and child, pro-
portion far beyond legitimate needs.
In New York the matter has been in
vestigated, with astonishing results.
The official per capita consumption in
that city is fixed at 60 gallons. But
an examination shows that between
the hours of 2 and a. M, when at
least eleven out of every twelve people
are asleep, the consumption" is so
gallons for each of 100000 people on
Manhattan, while the average for the
day is 142 gallons per capita. The
figures for both New York and Wheel
ing are too large. That much of this
water is wasted is undoubted; how to
curtail this waste is a problem yet to
be solved.

A Very Poor Thing.
Lincoln News.

Lincoln News.
We admire a good, square-toed Republi-
can and seldom have a controversy with
him. This is a free country and the bet
ter Democrat a man Is the more privi-
lege he gives his neighbor to think about
politics and religion as he pleases. But
the sucker Democrat, the cringing, hypo-
critical Democrat, who imagines that
trucking to Republicans is a virtue that
earns a reward, who easily finds fault with
his Democratic neighbor, who is ready to
sacrifice a Democratic friend to make a
friend of Republican-that fellow is to
be despised. He is hypocrite. He is a
damage to the party he pretends to es-
pouse. He builds up the enemy and tears
down Democracy. Republican sop may
keep him alive, but he will find in the end
that it was poor thing to trade his
honor for.

He had given his written opinion, and
then Mr.. Mckinley had left him in the
air. But Mr.. Magoon didn't resign his
Office, or lose much sleep. He simply
sat down, and initiating his distin-
guished but erratic lord and master,
calmly wrote another opinion for
Secretary Root, reversing and annul-
ling his first argument and announc-
ing that the Constitution did not ex-
tend to Puerto Rico, ex proprio vigore
or otherwise, and there you are.
Meanwhile the Senate passes the
tariff bill, the House will do likewise,
Mr.. Mckinley will sign it, and Puerto
Ricans, who fondly imagined they were
going to become citizens of the great
and glorious republic, will pay up or
go out of business.
The action of the Senate yesterday
was crime against justice, good faith,
the Constitution and every tradition of
the American people 1t was dishon-
orable, despicable and without excuse
or palliation. 1t is indefensible, and
will be resented by voters of all shades
of politics from ocean TO ocean. The
honor and plighted word of the gov
eminent to the people of the Island
has been compromised and broken, so
far as the Senate is concerned, at the
behest of the President. The measure
now goes to the House, and thence to
Mr. Mckinley. At the moment the
people are powerless.
They will be heard from later, for
the American people have never yet
approved of a crime perpetrated in
their name.
