"A Hot Time"

The Empire stock company begin a
three night engagement at the opera
house tonight, presenting the three
act, laughable comedy "a Hot Time.
OF the organization we clip the follow
ing from the Albuquerque Journal
Democrat"
The largest audience that ever at
tended theatrical entertainment in
this city, crowded into the new Albu-
querque theater last night. For a
popular price show The Empire Stock
Co. is the best that has ever visited
Albuquerque. The Standing room"
only sign was used on the lower floor
at s:15 and the balcony was almost
filled when the curtain rose. The
comedy presented was jam full of
funny situations and the specialties
introduced by Arthur Smith were all
well received. Mr.. Marc Robbins
proved himself comedian of no mean
ability.

Miss Alice Carr writes from Silver

state from which postoffice she desires
the information; also, she forgets how
busy newspaper people usually are
particularly on afternoon prints.

BEHIND THE TINES.

Ex-Vice- President Adlai Z. Stevenson seems
fated TO sustain his reputation as a statesman
of the inelastic Bourbon school. In his letter
accepting the Populist Vice-Presidential nomi-
nation he shows a singular and distressing
blindness 70 the changes of impulse and motive
which the Fusion National canvass has recently
undergone. Recalled from the shadow OF polit-
ical obscurity to as a makeweight of
respectability on the Democratic National ticket
the eX-Vice-P Presidents function in this cam
paign was TO attract the support Of old line
Democrats whose sensibilties and prejudices
had been ridden over rough shod by the Bryan
leaders in 1896. In the serenity of his political
meditations at Bloomington Mr.. Stevenson had
never been visited, perhaps, by disturbing
visions Of military usurpation or American en-
pire. Yet properly awakened to the perils Of
'militarism'' and imperialism he enthusiast
cally accepted as ''paramount'-for campaign
purposes, at least-the duty of saving the Re
public from its imaginary and undiscoverable
enemies. So seriously, in fact, did the ex-Vice-
President take the issue fabricated by his Kan
sas City friends that on one occasion in Mis-
souri, he solemnly insisted that a crowd of
Democratic patriots should take a wetttng
rather than run away from some dolefuI politi-
cal prophecies in which he was indulging. ''It
is easy TO get new suit of clothes" he sageIy
remarked 70 his stampeding auditors, but IL
will not be so easy to restore the Republic" II
is needless to add that the Missouri patriots
preferred 10 take chances on restoring the Re-
public"
But once anchored to the paramount issue
Of the Kansas City platform, Mr.. Stevenson has
| shown an awkward inability TO cut loose rom
| 1t at the opportune psychological moment" II

SOFT COAL SMOKE.

The action of the Health Department in call
ing violators of the smoke ordinances TO account
is to be heartily commended. The charge is
made-and common observation seems TO sus-
tain it-that MANY firms and individuals have
taken advantage Of the strike to use bituminous
instead of anthracite coal OF to use the former
more boldly and freely than they have hitherto
done Doubtless that is not just the way they
would state the case. They would say that the
diminishing supply and increased price of hard
coal have compelled them to burn the other
variety. But necessity knows no law is
dangerous rule TO adopt, for various reasons,
one of which is that it is easy TO translate con-
venience into necessity and plead justification
which doesn't justify.
In this instance offenders, whether new or
old, have probably assumed that public opinion
would Judge them less severely than usual be-
cause Of the special conditions now existing, and
have considered. therefore, that this was par
ticularly favorable time TO extend the process of
making the law O dead letter. We hope they
have no warrant for this assumption In the
first place, proof is lacking that their supplies
of hard coal have been reduced to as low
point as they might be glad to have the public
suppose, and the expectation is that the strike
will not last much longer In the second place,
even if their situation were much more unCOm-
Portable than 1t is believed to be, the injury
which they propose 10 inf1ict upon the commu-
nifty is far too great 10 be excused in considera-
ton of their personal interests We are quite
ready TO admit that in some cases grave embar-
easements have already been encountered or are
in immediate prospect, but the preservation Of
New-York from the manifold miseries which the
unrestricted use of bitumnous coal would en-
gender is a matter Of enormous Importance. In
spite of general opposition and of such proceed
ings as the public authorities have chosen to
institute, there cannot be a doubt that the pro-
duction Of soft coal smoke has been pretty
steadily increasing for several years in this city.
Indeed the abuse has already effected con-
siderable change in the quality of the atmos-
phere 1t would be most iamentable if under
cover of the strike the city should permit a
precedent to be established which could be cited
whenever vexatious conditions prevailed in the
coal market.
The president of the Health Board does not
exaggerate the value 10 New-YOrk Of the crys-
talline atmosphere which until recently it has
possessed. If the appearance of the city and
the pleasure of its inhabitants were the only
things to be taken into account the wisdom OF
employing every resource TO avert the fate Of
Chicago and Pittsburg would be apparent; but
who can estimate how much New-York has
gained materially through its freedom from the
deflement of soft coal smoke? From every
point of view the thought Of such degradation
as is not merely threatened but in actual process
of accomplishment is intolerable, and we urge
the Health Department to act unf1inchingly in
the spirit of its manifestoes.
New-York tribune., 1900-09-29
TIE REPUBLIC IN DANCER.

The Republic is in danger. OF that there can
be no doubt. For Senator McCarren says so,
and Senator McCarren knows. 1t is in danger
from 1.-The most terrible thing" and 1.-The most
Outrageous thing that ever happened in Ameri-
"can politics" Strange to say this is not "the
crime of 1873" nor is it the bloodstained ogre
Of imperialism No. but it is this: The Re-
"pubhcans have from $25,OO0,OO0 to $30,000,0O0,
contributed by the trusts and the corporations,
"and they have started in to buy the Presi-
"dency" That is the terrible, the outrageous,
thing And the most terrible and most Outra-
geous feature of it is not merely the domestic
corruption which it involves, but the danger of
getting found out. Suppose" cries Senator
McCarren in impassioned peroration, suppose
"the whole world learns that the election Of
president in this country can be bought for
1895, 100000 or $30O00O00. Then where would
I'VE be?'
Where, indeed? In fact where shall we be?
And where are we at? For beyond all per-
adventure the whole world has by this time
learned the terrible, the outrageous fact, seeing
that it is wont to hang with breathess interest
upon all the utterances of the gifted McCarren.
In our prophetic vision we can see in the next
campaign this country surprising any thirty
cent bargain counter ever known in the history
of fire and bankrupt sales. We can see long
and "Chinks" and 'Greasers," thrifty "Canucks"
and stately Hidalgos, all formed in file like
the queue at the box office of a theatre with an
indecent problem play, each with his little hoard
of centimes or piastres or taels, eager to buy
for himself Presidency of the United States.
And then? Why, we shall have to manufacture
Presidents wholesale, they do princes in
Russia, to meet the demand.
OF a truth, it is an awful danger, IL is ter
ribIe and an outrageous thing. We are not
sure, indeed, that it is not an extended hypothe-
muse or a rectangular parallelopipedon. But let
us have faith in McCarren The massive eye
and eagle brain which discerned the peril will
surely discover also the path of safety. The
public spirited associate of the Ice Trust mag
mates and the incorruptible friend of the sue
cessors of William NJ. Tweed will know how to
frustrate the corrupt designs of the corporate
octopus and how TO prevent the debauchment Of
