Party Names ana Principles.

Some curious tranemutations have oc-
CURED in the history of political parties in
the United States. The party of jefferson,
Madison. Monroe. and of jackson was
known and styled in their day the Repub-
lican, and sometimes National Republican
party. at times the designation OF Demo
cratic-RePublican Sas applied, but IL
used at first more by way of emphasis than
as a party appellation. The term Demo-
cratic finally superseded the former desig-
nation and has ever since been the dis
tinctive name of the organization. The
title Republican as a party name disap-
designation Of the present organization-an
organization destined TO be the most
powerful rival with which the Democracy
has ever had to contend.
This second Republican party in the his
tory Of the Government originally was the
especial advocate of human liberty and the
principles of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. and In its first platform declared the
maintenance of these principles to be
essential to the preservation of our re-
publican Institutions At the next Con-
ven1ion of this same party in 1860 part of
the Declaration of independence was spe-
officially reiterated and affirmed: That
all men are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain in
alienable rights; that among these ara
life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;
that to secure these rights governments
are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the
governed
Now, however. after forty years, we
find the Democratic party in its National
Convention adopting this emphasized ex-
tract from the great Declaration, while the
Republicans. on the other hand, have APP
abandoned this article of their
ancient faith.
Thus it will be seen that while the pres
ent Republican organization bears the name
applied to the original party of Jefferson,
the Democracy have in their most recent
utterance adopted the Republican declara-
tien of 1860. The Republicans assumed the
abandoned name of their opponents, the
Democracy adopt the abandoned principles

credit which belongs to them. 1t must

The War with China.

There is not a vestige of excuse remain
ing for the fiction that it is Chinese rebels
and not the Chinese Government which
are waging war against the civilized pow
ers. Recently it has been proved that the
Empress Dowager herself ordered the at
tack upon the legations, and it IS Low stat
ed on reliable authority that it was she
who called the butcher Ii Ping Heng 10
Pekin and made him gcneralissimo of the
imperial forces.
TIE pretenee that We can be fighting bat
ties with the regular armies Of nation
and yet be not in a state of war in rela-
ton to it, may serve the immediate pur-
poses OF the Administration, but it is too
fimsy not to excite the disdain of the
American public Europe has abandoned
it, and it is a safe prediction that the CONT
mental States will formally declare war be-
fore many days. But they can do as they
please about the matter. since, in every
Government concerned in the Chinese op-
erations, with the exception of the United
States, the war-making power is a pre-
rogative of the Executive. while with US it
only exists IN Congress.
AS our late deSpatcheS THIS morning
should afford us additional details of the
battle Of Pietsang. and some idea of the
present position of the allied troops, it
would be useless to discuss the prospects
of the advance at this time. In a general
way it may be said that the chances for
an early relief Of the legations appear just
now to be gloomy. General Chaffee reports
that Tangtsun is the recognized objective
o; the present movement, and thai tends
TO corroborate the view that the decisive
battle of the campaign is most likely to
be fought at that place. where the Chinese
are believed to be III great force and well
entrenched. Assuming that the ground be-
tween Pietsang and Tangtsun can be gain
ed without another serious engagement, it
would still appear probable that it will
take three weeks to reach Pel1in. On that
theory. which has the support of military
authorities in London familiar with the
conditions in China, the chances that the
lives of the legation people can be saved
are not as promising as could be wished.
While it is well enough to hope for the
best, the fact cannot be escaped that the
odds are heavily against the Ministers and
other foreigners at the Empress Dowager's
mercy. She must suspect by this time that
she has done enough to forfeit both her
throne and her life. and on that account
she might not much hesitate to commit
browning atrocity.

Literary and Dramatic Art.

Sir Henry Irving made trenchant
observation on the Bacon Shakespeare
theory not long ago. in an interview on
his art. He said:
'By the way, this Baconian theory. believe
il Is not dead yet Hamlet the creation Of
poet othello was the creation of poet and
a dramstist combined. and the dramstist
actor. There arc certain situations in OthellO
that could have only been born and nurtured in
an actors brain"
This is point wqtth noting. Amateur
students of literature have rarely recog-
nized the fact that literature and the
drama are two absolutely distinct branches
of art, and that the literary method and
the dramatic method are in many ways ex-
aetiy opposed That is one reason why
good plays are so scarce just now in Ameri-
ca. The brains of the country have gone
into literature. Irving, being himself an
actor, recognizes the fact that no literary
man, without a thorough knowledge of
the stage such as can scarcely be attained
without actual experience, could possibly
have written the superb collection of mas
terpieces which stands for all time as the
acme of dramatic art. Shakespeare in
all MS plays, Win the single exception OF
Hamlet" subordinated the literary to the
dramatic interest: and Hamlet" remains
to this day the one work of Shakespeare
which is most difficult even for fine actors
to make interesting. Only the most subtle
art and the finest elocutionary power can
save 1t from being tiresome. and this not
because the average audience is unintel-
lectual. bat because the play itself is not
adapted to dramatic representation as are
other plays. Had Shakespeare lived in this
age he would have made Hamlet" novel,
and we should have had one more example
of the man distinguished in one line who
gives to the world a single example of
powerful work in another line "Hamlet'

to the utmost.
The present condition of the drama is
due partly to the fact that the existence of
this wide gulf between dramatic and liter
airy art is not generally recognized. This
ignorance is responsible for the prevalence
of dramatized novels-a proceeding abso-
lutely vicious SO far as art is concerned.
since in order TO make even fairly good
play fine novel must have the very back
bone taken out of it and remodeled, and
this can rarely be done.
