The discussion of tourist travel at
the last session of the Chamber Of
Commerce furnishes evidence Of the
perfunctory activity with which the
tourist problem is approached. The re-
port of the discussion Is worthy of re-
petition:
Mr.. tiacfarlane moved that It Is
the sense of the Chamber that sub
scriptions should be secured from
the different members of the
Chamber toward the support Of Mr..
Rice's tourist agency at Los An
geles."
Mr.. Atherton had never heard of
Mr. Rice or his efforts at directing
tourists to Hawaii.
Mr.. Cooke asked II he was not
merely a representative of the
Oceanic Steamship Company, to
which Mr.. Macfarlane replied in
the negative but stated that Mr..
Rice was the company's ticket
agent.
Mr.. Rothwell did not think the
Chambers support should be limit
ed to individuals, but be general in
its way. He suggested a committee
to take the matter up and report
later.
Mr.. Cooke, remarking ON the small
number present, Recommended 90

meeting when It might be made the

proposal, the meeting adjourned.

4 POPULAR MELODRANA.
WHY THE PUBLIC LIKES TO W.T.
NESS PIECES THAT APPEAL TO
THE EYE AND PLAY UPON
THE EMOTIONS.
BY Amelia Bingham.

Ii there ever was a rignt-down, reg
ular melodrama it is Hearts are
4rumpS," and yet there are few plays
that have been produced in lew York
this season that have met with such
instant or more continued success.
The secret of it all is that the people
who patroniZe the theatre like to wit
ness just such pieces. They may turn
their noses up at Bowery plays with
their blood and thunder adjuncts, and
yet, if the truth be known, it is just
such characteristics that strike a re-
sponsive chord in the popular heart
Men and women of education and re-
fnement might not appreciate the
crude productions of the 3owery thea
tres, but a similar production in a first
class house receives their full approba-
ton. All the rough edges have been
smoothed Off without the loss of any
juncts, an4, as the result, they give %
it the praise that, as boys and girls,
they lavished upon such productions
as Nick O. the Woods"
t cannot be denied that Hearts Are
rumps" is a melodrama, and yet 5
one of the most finished productions of
that class that has oeen placed upon
the American stage in many a day.
1t appears to the eye, it tells a story
which proceeds with unfiagging inter-
est and which at times plays most
strongly upon the emotions and there
can be no question put that it mas been
we'll received by the large audiences
that have witnessed 1t. To compare
it with such Productions as Quo Vad-
is OF Ben Hur" would be fareical,
and yet its success has been no less
as great.
In Hearts Are Trumps" there is a
story in which every n 5 interested.

PROF. w. E. H. LECKY ON
W0MAN'S SUFFRAGE.

In the closing chapter Of Democracy
and Liberty" Prof. W. f. ". Lecky
saws concerning Woman Suffrage:
Metaphysical arguments about sup
posed natural rights and about innate.
universal and Interchangeable laws Of
nature, may, l think, on both sides be
cast away. The inalienable right
which, according TO the school OF Rous-
seau. every man possesses to a share
Of political power, and the irreversibls
law Of nature which pronounces women
to be the dependents Of men. and unfit
for any share in the ruling power, are
equally baseIess. 1t may, however, be
truly said that where in political in
stitutions great inequalities and anon
allies are found, they may al least be
expected TO justify their existence by
proved utility. Il Is surely an anon
aly that the purchase Of a horse or a
piece of land Tin Englandl should con-
fer the right OF voting IL the purchaser
Is a male, but not IL a female. that wo-
men who are landed proprietors, or
heads of great industrial undertakings
should be surrounded by dependents
and tenants who possess the right Of
voting through their favor, while the
proprietoTs themselves are denuded OF
all political power; that in a land
where the i~nseparable connection Of
taxation and representation has been
preached as a cardinal principle Of free

enumeratedl and not for the highest
interest of ALA representative in the
House of Commons"
Speaking OF the military argument
against suffrage, Mr.. Lecky says: AN
argument which appears to me to de-
serve very little attention or respect.
is that derived from the inferiority OF
women TO men in physical force, and
from the fact that they are expected to
defend their country on the battlefield.
Such an argument might have some
force If 1t were probable that men and
women voters would be divided into
two distinct and hostile camps; or even
If it were advanced in a country where
universal military service was exacted.
In England military service Is a purely
voluntary thing, and only a small frac-
tion of the population participate in 1t.
No one would argue for the disfran-
chisement of infrm men, and of men
who were past sixty, because they were
incapable of active service"
Even II a possible participation in
warfare were required as a qualification
for voters. this would be no argument
against female suffrage. Women, like
men, pay increased taxes at every dec
laration of war. and although they do
not, like the German women described
by Tacitus, or like the Irish
of the seventh century, accompany
their husbands into the battlefelds,
they have borne in all modern wars n
distinct and most valuable part. Can
1t be said that an ordinary private sol
der was more useful TO the state dur
ing the Crimean war than Frances
Nightingale and the band of nurses
who accompanied her? During the
great Civil Wal in America the admir-
able organization and the pre-eminent
utility of the Sanitary Commission"
which was planned and worked by wo-
men, for the alienation OF the suffer-
ings of the battlefield, were UNIVERSAL
ly recognized. and the same may be
said Of the Red Cross movement OF
later years. But. in truth, war and It's
concerns form but one OF the numer-
Gus interests of national life, and there
is no real reason why it should have
any connection with the right Of vot-
ing"

never have approved if her advice
had been solicited. This mother in the
play, Lady Winifred Crosby, is a wom-
an with a past and present.
Past and Present.
In the past" she is turned out into
the snow with her child in her arms.
In the present" her one ambition is to
properly fill the social position to
which Fate has elevated her. She is
a woman without lovers and without
| sentiment. For a time the maiden in
the play is recognized as her ward, but
at last the force Of circumstances is
such that she Identifies her as her
daughter-and the plot works its way
through countless intricacies.
Another character in the piece that
wins a favorable position in the hearts
of the audiences is the music hall
singer who does so much to befriend
the heroine and who gives her the
long-looked for opportunity to appear
upon the stage. While she is consid-
cradle of a bounce and has bolster
BUSINESS to spare, there is that n
touch of nature about her character
that wins instant sympathy from those
who witness the production.
And then, of course, there is the
villain. This time the hateful indi-
vidual is a money lender, who borrows
money for the mother, taking as Sc
curity a policy of insurance on the life
Of the daughter. AS the natural con
sequence he plots to bring about the
maiden's death.
AS the counter influence there is an
athletic young curate who loves the
| girl and is loved by her in turn. For
several scenes he exerts a guardians
care over her. and just as the villain
is about to kill her by projecting her
over an Alpine ehasm, he leaps across
the yawning abyss and swings her ever
to the other side on a rope, while the
villain is buried by an avalanche in
the very grave which he had selected
for his victim.
If this is not melodramatic. what is
It? And yet the piece is so well writ
ten and is so thoroughly natural that
one accepts it without question, and
the melodramatic features do not strike
one until he sits down to think it all
over after returning from the theatre
AS a simple melodrama the plot would
be too funny for anything.
Rapid Action.
Such a wistful maiden as that of the
play ought never to have been allowed
to graduate from the nursery, but the
effect is very different when seen on
the stage. for in the play the spectator
is hurried from one elaborate scene 10
another. and as the cast is not bad and
the staging remarkably brilliant. the
spectators find themselves so thrilled
by the incidents of the piece that they
are often reused to the most spontan-
eous outbursts of appreciation and en-
thusiasm.
To fully appreciate the features that
naturally produce such a result it is
necessary to witness the production,
for no description would give an ade-
quate idea of the intensely interesting
character of the scenes. For instance,
when Lady Crosby visits the art ex-
hibition and sees the face Of her
daughter on the body OF d nymDh the
opportunities for clever work are
boundless, and when this daughter ap-
pears unheralded upon the stage of the
music hall the situation is exciting
enough to appeal to the most critical.
For some time past it has been the
