A GORGEOUS REFORM.

n REAT BRITAIN has not the
" only war department that is
likely to be the scene of great
reforms. Our own department in
Washington is said to be just now
on the eve of undergoing a grand re-
generation. According to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle, Secretary Root is the au-
thor of the regeneration scheme.
In times of peace it has been the
custom of the military men on duty
in the various offices of the war de-
partment to attire themselves in the
democratic raiment of everyday life.
This. it is said, does not please the
fastidious eye Of Mr.. Root. He longs.
for something more strenuous in the
matter 4 clothing, and he has ex-
pressed a desire that ali officers APP
pear in their uniforms. The hint
has already been taken by Adjutant
General Corbin, who attacks his
morning mail in all the majesty of
major generals uniform Other bu-
reau chiefs have promised to do like
wise.
, This is surely step in the right
direction. 1t would never do to let
the war department get into methods
of simplicity, even in the matter of
dress. Besides, it will add greatly to
the efficiency of the department. On
warm summer day an officer
weighed down with brave bands of
braid and shoulder straps glistening
with stars, his coat buttoned close
up to his chin, viii undoubtedly be in
much better shape to dispose of
batch of mail or prepare a report
than a man in ordinary dog-day at
TIE.
Then, too, inconsiderate congress
men will be much more careful how
they play with questions of a depart
ment filed with sword-carrying, i'm
posingly clad gentlemen. When one
of these informs them that the insur-
rection in the Philippines is at an
end, they will not be inclined to
quibble about recent engagements
that have crept into publicity.
There is also economy in the move.
With the commanding general in full
uniform the fogs of Washington will
never become so thick or the nights
SO dark as to make gas or electric
light a necessity in his office.

If this view of the case is correct,
it should be thrown out of court at
once. The only place ~here such
complicated matters can be properly
untangled is in a rural debating So
ciety.

AmuSementS.


To the youthful mind, feminine or
masculine. so poisoned as to see a ca
reer of glory across the fOotlightS,
THE Royal Box is likely to prove a.
profound antidote. To the average
play-goer it is an ingenious product,
usually interesting, at one time actual
~ thrilling and sometimes simply clap
trap and rot.
1t tells the story of an actor who
loves a countess and is loved in re-
turn. That is, we believe he does I'M
til the last scene, when 1t SINNERS out
with sickening suddenness. This actor
gives a benefit to the man who started
MIN in business. At another time, with
all the strength of his poetic environ
ments, he entreats a certain stage
struck young woman, an Orhpan, not to
go on the boards Then he marrieS the
girl, after quarreling all the love out
of the countess, and the latter, having
frozen him under trying circumstances,
goes back TO live long and happily
with the count. a certain acquaintance
TO whom she has been married several
years
So far as the play concerns the actor
it is perfectly probable, and there
seems to be little to it besides the actor.
The Neill company made a much
stronger impression in this piece than
in THE Lottery of Love" How pro-
fitable it would be if repertoire COM
panies would get away from the deplor-
able habit-"The worst shall be first
and the first shall be worst"
MIR. Neill as Clarence. the actor, gave
a strong scene in the climax of the
play This shows the Prince of Wales
seated in a box with the woman Clar-
ence loves while he is doing Romeo in
the balcony scene. Seeing them en-
gaging in conversation, the actor be-
comes crazed with jealousy and in
dulges in a TRADE against the prince,
causing of course tremendous excite
ment in the theatry, Drury Lane being
represented. The setting was beauti-
full and the draping of the box gor-
geous. Everything contributed to the
scene in fact. Tt was well worth re-
Numbering.
A special amount of praise is due the
and the character men, Mr.. Burton,
the constable, Mr.. Seaton the servant,
Mr.. Crosweil the Montmorency. The
female parts were finely sustained. Miss
Spinney was the countess. Last year
she played Agnes Cassidy in '"The
Parish Priest" with Dan Sully, and at
that time she left a pleasing impress
sion. Miss Chapman Mrs. Neill in
private Iife) was perfectly at home as
Celia Pryse, and the minor parts were
well done.

BEST ON EARTH

SECRETARY M'HARG SATISFIED
THAT AMERICA is THE RIGHT
PLACE,
Secretary Ormsby McHarg, who re-
turned recently from Europe, says:
I'VE had a very pleasant trip to
England, Scotland, Ireland and France
the past summer, arriving in Wash
ington about the 9th Of November.
We visited many noted places, and
spent several months in France, where
I read some French law and got a
smattering of the language SO that I
could get along all right. France is
like a garden, all cultivated outside of
the cities. The French people love
their land and have nc reason to emil
CRATE. was surprised to see so
much land in England given up to pas
turage, as I had an idea that it was
about all cultivated except what was
held in parks. In the south Of Ire
land it looks like the country was de-
serted as far as cultivation goes. The
exactions of the landlords have about
driven the tenants out of that part of
the island.
Both On the continent and in the
British isles it strikes one that, they
LIRE behind the times, as compared
with America. Our machinery and
methods of doing business are far SUI
perior to the old fashioned ways you
see there. The tipping system isl
great nuisance, and wealthy Ameri-
cans have spoiled the servants with
exorbitant tips for any little service,
no matter how trifing. They seem
to think that every man who goes
there is wealthy and try to get tips
accordingly. To learn how much it
is customary to pay for the common
services a traveller needs, is one of the
first things that a stranger should do
to save himself annoyance.
1--WE visited Burns cottage and
Shakespeare's birthplace. In the
former we found in his own hand writ
ing, a little poem, written by the late
Col. Ingersoll. 1t was a fine tribute
to the bard Of Scotland. At Stratford
the natives seem to know very little
about he writings of the most cele-
brated Englishman who ever lived.
In London we saw a great deal of
drunkenness, particularly in the parks,
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1901-12-05

and many other things that would not
be tolerated in American cities. There
is a much greater opposition to the
Boer war in England than is generally
believed.
Dublin is a fine city and reminds
one of Detroit, Mich. Paris is the
most beautiful city in the world and
the colony of some 5000 Americans,
many of them in business there, seem
to take to the cosmopolitan ways with
great ease. The lack of regard for
what We consider the right views of
morals, is e all over the continent
and England, and particularly in
Paris. European conditions have de-
veloped a large class of what we would
call degenerates. In Germany they
are n%oticeably jealous of u trade sue
cess and the fact that trust made ar
ticles are sold under the nose of the
German manufacturers, is creating a
feeling of fear that the extent of this
competition has only begun.
There is a, national. feeling against
England not only in France but in
Germany, and I saw a. cartoon in a
German paper that represented John
Bull pegging down the island of Eng
land, with j. P. Morgan coming across
the water, and the paper advised that
the pegging be made tight or Mr..
Morgan would get the island. The
feeling in favor of the Beers in Ger
many amounts to a public .demonstra-
ton in the theatres and elsewhere
whenever occasion offers. I return
home more of a "howling American
than ever We have the best coun-
try on earth and 1 am proud to be an
American citizen" -

1t was throught the Schley-Sampson
controversy had been finally disposed
of but congress seems determined to
bring the ghost out for another heat
and a resolution has been presented
to the house for the Investigation of
the conduct of Historian McClay, who
wrote the offensive paragraphs in the
history of the Spanish-American war
which resulted in the Schley court OF
inquiry. The congress of the United
States, drawing about 5000 for daily
salary. devoting much of its time in
vestigating the conduct of Mr.. Nc
Clay, who draws, we believe. $l.49
from the naval department, strikes us
as descending a little distance into the
ridiculous. If the intense partisans
of Admiral Schley are determined to
force this matter perpetually upon the
public they will do more harm than
good. The American people are just
about tired enough of this whole mat
ter to go over on the other side from
the faction that persists in airing it.
Let us have peace, as General Grant
said-peace and<a good long rest from
the tiresome Schley-Sampson matter
at least until the court of inquiry has
made its report.

H WHY OF IT.

We do so many, many things,
Because there's money in it,
The poet writes, the songstress sings,
Because there's money in it,"
We leave the straight and narrow path,
Tempt Earth's rebuke and Heavens
wrath,
Nor count the cost or aftermath,
Because there's money in it,"
The campaign speaker bowls and
bowls,
Because there's money in it,"
Defiance to the trusts he growls,
Because there's money in it,"
In life. is acted many a sham,
The self-same speaker like a clam,
Be silent, and not care-a-hem!
Because there's money in it,
We stife many noble deeds,
Because there's money in it,"
Nor follow where our conscience
leads,
Because there's money in it,"
We fawn, with sycophantic smile,
We charge our selfish souls with guile,
And beam on those we hate the while,
Because there's money in it.
In preaching, We are pure, we cry,
Because there's money in it,
In practice, wink the other eye,
Because there's money in it.
Our outraged consciences we keep
In leash-we soothe our souls to sleep,
And plunge into the quagmires deep,
Because there's money in it.
Lord, now inspire a noble deed,
Where there's no money in it,
Teach me to follow where Thou lead.
Tho there be nothing in it,
