THE BURGLAR.

Although it was not generally
known that the opera house was occu-
pied last night by that we'll known
and highly appreciated emotional
drama "The:Burglar," still there was
a good Farmhouse and they were high
ly pleased with the performance.
The audience were not only well
pleased with the play itself, but the
acting of both ladies and gentlemen
was beyond comparison and during
the heavy parts held the people spell
bound it was SO realistic.
When it is considered that Walter
ID. Green as William Lewis the burg
lar and Frank X. Hope as the editor
Paul Benton, both have visited Barre
before, about six years ago, and that
during the interval they both have
occupied high places on the stage, it
no wonder the performance was up to
such high standard.
This is speaking only of the two
principle male characters but it was
not at all necessary to pick them out
as the best actors present as the whole
company are beyond criticism.
AS for the ladies it is very hard to
praise any of them separately as that
would only be dong a wrong to the
others. Every one of the ladies are
fine actresses and little Josephine
Mcmahon performed as well as the
grown persons. She was particularly
noticeable in the third act where the
burglar enters her house to steal.
1t is not necessary to praise the
company any more as the best way to
find out what it is is to 60 tonight
and see some of the best acting Barre
has had for many day.

FOR PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM Mckinney,
OF OHIO.
Mckinley and Roosevelt.

With unanimity unparalleled in
national convention, the republicans
at Philadelphia last Thursday NOM
mated its candidates for president and
vice president-W William Mckinley, of
Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt, of
New York. Both candidates were
nominated by reclamation without a
single dissenting voice or whisper of
dissent.
The demonstration which accom-
panied the denomination of William
Mckinley for president for another
term was a splendid endorsement of
his administration. In the face of
issues and difficulties greater than any
president since Lincoln has met, he
has shirked no duty however forbid
ding, holding back doubters and pes
simists by the magnificent faith Of his
own convictions. His denomination
is we'll merited. He has the conf
dence of the people and the undivided
support of his party.
HC vi uCoookC AsOOcC-
welt for vice president was a remark
able manifestation of the power of the
people as represented in the conven-
ton. With several avowed candi-
dates in the field, and in the face OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's repeated declaration
that he was not candidate, the tide
of popular choice swept aside every
vestige of opposition, and Mr.. Roose-
welt was carried in reluctant triumph
on the crest of the wave. 1t was a
tremendous tribute of popular ap-
proval.
Mckinley and Roosevelt The tick
ct represents the best in American
craftsmanship and citizenship; it be-
speaks the best interests of the United
States and its people. The ticket
must win, in the natural order of
American events, but republicans and
independent voters should rally to it's
support with an earnestness which
would fit more desperate cause.

The Crisis in China.

The gravity of the situation in
China increases as the days pass with
out authentic news from the allied
forces sent to the relief of foreigners
in Picking. The foreign force in China
is wholly inadequate for the task be-
fore it. Ii Hung Chang, the grand old
man" of China, promises peace if
given time to subdue the rioting
Boxers, but there is no assurance
that this promise can be kept.
The most serious news of the past
week is the confirmation of the belief
that it is not the Boxers with
which the allied forces are now en-
gagged, but with the regular Chinese
army. In fact, a state of war exists
between China on the one side and
the great powers of the world on the
other. There can only be one out
come to this-the downfall of the
Chinese empire-but the nations do
not belittle the task before them.
The encouraging feature of the
whole serious situation is the fact that
SO far the allied powers are working
together tremendously, with no indi-
cation of rupture.
What may follow the subsection of
China is matter for serious specula-
ton. If the powers, or any of them,
shall proceed to partitioning of the
empire among them, the United States
is not likely either to join in that
work or to oppose it, but is likely,
rather, to insist upon the maintenance
in the partitioned empire of the COM
mercial and industrial rights it has
enjoyed III the integral empire. Its
business there at present is to protect
American lives and American inter-
ests.
