The Grand Opera House was packed
again last night to see C. e. Baneys
great csenic production, ACROSS the
Pacific There are enough situations
in the play to make those who love
melodrama talk about it. The hero
was mine owner until the girl he low
ed smiled on another. Then he joins
Uncle Sans army and goes to the
Philippines to seek either death or re-
lief from the depression of unrequited
love. The heroine realizes that she
really loves the mine owner, and that
she was deceived by villain and adj
venturer. Thereupon she dons soldier
clothes and enlists also. The comedy
part, taken by Harry Blaney, who fol-
lows the army as correspondent,
makes lots of fun. He is assisted by
Gertie Reynolds, who sings finely and
dances with great charm. Miss Rey-
nolds was formerly with the "Gayest
Manhattan, Company.
There will be a matinee to-day and
the performance will be repeated in the
evening, and judging from the advance
sales packed houses will be the rule.

OVER-CONFIDENCE.
Only Danger TO Republican Ticket From
This ause.

Only Danger TO Republican Ticket From
This Cause.
The Republican leaders do not tire
of warning against too great conf
dence. They call attention to the fact
that too great confidence caused Har-
rison's defeat for a second term. While
this may not be altogether true, it Is
sure that such warning is this year
very much in order. 1t Is an old eX-
perience that great many voters,
and especially Republicans, hasten tc
the ballot box only when the wolf
is at the door-when conditions are
SO bad that they force man to re-
allie his duty as a citizen. These
conditions do not at present prevail.
there is always a tendency to let the
election take care of itself-to ones
great sorrow later on. We should not
forget that the necessity of voting at
the coming election is just as great
now as it was four years ago, for the
same Democratic presidential candi-
date is before us with his idiotic finan-
cial and economic theories We can
expect that all of those who four years
ago voted for Bryan will again do SO.
The prospect of change of admins
tration, with all the Offices to be
handed out, always has stimulating
effect upon the party out Of power.
Now, If all voters of the Republican
party do not do their duty, the result
may be that the more active party
shall win the victory. AS matters
stand now, Bryan can not win ~ oil
those who oppose his policy do their
duty at the ballot box. but 1t is J sc
as true that Bryan can not be DEBATED
If his opponents remain at home on
election day.

Democratic Purpose to Dishonor the Flag.
Philippine Matter Will Be Settled
Through the Action Of Congress, but 1t
Must Not Be Through Base Surrender.
"Woe to the generation tha+ leaves

heritance of shame instead Of an her

take the lead in seeing that the United
States, now on the Threshold of new
century, declares again, once and fol

where the American flag has once been
hoisted in honor it shall never be
hauled down in dishonor."
, Thaie noble words, with which Gov
ernor Roosevelt concluded his great
speech to the wonderful meeting at
Columbus on October 16, state the Re-
publican position as to the flag and
the Philippines with absolute clearness
and force. They answer all of the

come down in Cuba, as it came down
in Mexico, but with honor in doing
so in both cases.
1t was Democratic administration
that in the later forties surrendered tc
Great Britain a vast empire in the
northwest, that the same party only
few years before had declared must be
fought for; and the American flag left

Waterson's Forecast.

Henry Waterson is now engaged in
casting horoscopes, and. this is what
he has to say concerning the result OF
the late election:
AS the Democrats are cast down by
the result of this election will the Re-
publicans be elated and thrown off their
guard. They will fancy they have the
world in a sling. They are certain to
proceed to excuses. They cannot re-
strain either their zealots or their
scamps.
"All the clever rogues of the time,
seeing where the pickings and stealings
lie, have got into the Republican party
The new territories are veritable gold
mines of pillage. Acts of outrage can
not be repressed or escaped.
The people at home will stand
aghast before the riot of corruption and
despotism, and with the disappearance
of the fancied dangers incident to a
change of parties, as it were, in the face
OF energy, or words to that effect. where
withal the Republicans have deluded
the voters, and forgetfulness of the pas
sions aroused by the luckless misadven-
ture attendant upon the revolutionary
fusion movement undertaken by the
Democratic leaders of the last half de.
cade, the opportunity of the chastened,
enlightened and recognized Democratic
party will come, and when it comes
there shall arise leader of the stature
OF Jefferson, of Jackson and of Tilden to
give it expression and effect"
