Rudolph and AdoIph."

The coming of Broadhurst & Currie's new musical production entitled "Ru- dolph and Adolph," a new vehicle In which to introduce those funny German comedians, Dan and Charles A Mason, at the Jefferson Theatre next Thursday should be a welcome one, bringing to us, as it does, such an array of comedy ta1- ent as the appended names testify, head ed by that popular comedienne, Lottie Williams-Salter, followed by Beatrice Mckenzie, Nellie Maskell, Iva Merlyn, Estelle Gilbert, Charlotte Love, the sis ters Laurence, sensational dancers, Lew H. Newcomb, William O'Day, Eddie Rus sell, Samuel Mirfield and Harry James.
 Both Masons are well known here. Dams latest success was in originating Count von Guggenheim" in Broadhursts s funny farce. Why Smith Left Home." Charles Mason has been seen here in farces with Kell & Mason.
 The advance agent of Rudolph and Adolph" has not been furnished with a plot of Rudolph and Adolph. He sim ply says that the public must know we give a pleasing and entirely satisfactory performance for the reason that 1t would be impossible to do otherwise with such an abundance of talent as the names of our company prove we possess.

The Painters and Decorators carried red and white canes when they first started in the parade. Before they had gone very far some one yelled that they were ''scab canes" In an instant frag- ments of wood were flying in the air and the painters marched thereafter without canes.

The Republican Party

is working very hard with the aid
of the Prohibitionists to gradually
overthrow Democratic control Of
the State OF Virginia. Rockbrldge,
Fairfax, Loudon and many other
counties are now in the grasp of
this fanatical element. Even some
of the sterling Democratic papers
have lett their party to coop
crate with the Republican prohi-
bitionists. Among these we re-
gret to find the Leesburg Mirr0t, /,
which openly espouses the cause
OF the local option element.
Did we have any local option
laws in Virginia when Madison,
Marshall, Jefferson and Washing
ton were at the head Of the State1
Or have the people in this State
become so deg snerate that they
cannot be trusted with the same
amount OF liberty and self control
as in those days7 Does the editor
OF the MsrYOy desire his fellow cit
izens to cast aside the old Demo-
cratic freedom and privileges
which he has always advocated
and substitute therefor New Eng
land hYpocritical and despotic
laws9
If this is the case we regret TO
be compelled in the future to class
the JIiyy0r as a Republican advo.
cate, and not true Democratic
paper.
AS will be seen from another
article on Ohio the Republicans
are there following the same pol
icy as in Virginia.

Sound Logic.

The clergy in their warfare on
the saloons overlook the more
weighty matters which environ the
subject. Before God made The
grape and made the wine press, and
before He made the corn on the
ear and man made the distillery,
He implanted in the bosom Of
mortals the principle OF personal
liberty and individual freedom.
While the existence of the saloon
may not be essential to mans en-.
ioyment Of that liberty and tree
dom, yet when the law denies him
the right to judge Tor himself what
he shall eat and what he shall
drink, and in order to hinder and
prevent his eating and drinking
that which he desires obstacles are
placed in his way Of obtaining
them, he is privileged to resist all
such acts in every way in his power.
He must do this in order to pre-
vent the coils being tightened upon
him in other matters essential to
his peace, happiness and comfort.
II the law can name one article
which the citizen can refrain from
using il can name another. 1t is
not a question of the thing prohib-
tied or permitted but it is a ques.
ton OF the authority of one man tc
deprive another Of any right which
in his opinion ministers to his hap
piness or we'll being. In the exer
else of that personal liberty tn,
man must not interfere with tn
comfort, happiness or well beint
OF another.-C2iNtOH, Ao10a. Ags.

option districts, is also untrue. a:
can be proven by an examination
OF the court records in Leesbure
and the next nearest local option
town, Rockville, Md. This acees
sibility Tor the purpose OF verihca'
ton should forbid the circulation
Of reckless assertions Of this kind,
which have been disproved over
and over again in the press as well
as on the lecture platform. No
citizen Of Leesburg, at any rate
should need stro 1get procf ct the
ialsJtY OF such statements than are
afforded by his own eyes and IN
his own town. Local option, as
an encouragement to temperance
and morality, is a failure; as an
incentive to drunkenness, lying
and hypocrisy, and a fruitful
source Of crime, it is an acknowl-
edged success. 1t is a delusion
and snare.
The great principle of the Dem
ocratic party is personal liberty.
The old party has always advo-
Gated the greatest personal liberty
consistent with good government.
Local option or any other law
which tends to curtail the individ-
'ual rights of a citizen is an in
fringement OF personal liberty. 1t
is therefore un-Democratic, and
should be opposed by every sup
porter OF the tenets of that p rtY.
We have been advised by some
weakened Democrats that to es-
pouse the cause oi ths anti prohi-
bitionists would possibly hurt us
politically. Such advice we spurn.
We do not believe in that kind OF
doctrine and we always take firm
stand on one or the other side Of
a question.
There is not a prohibition State
in the Union which is not con-
trolled by the Republican party,
and whose inhabitants do not
drink behind closed doors. A
Democrat as a rule drinks openly
and will not support any such fan
atical measures which do not pro-
hibit, but only tend to breed fanat-
icism, hypocrisy and perjury. ANY
citizen of Leesburg protesting
Democratic faith who will vote
with the prohibitionists should be
defeated at the polls, il ever he
runs for public office, because he
is not true Democrat, being actu-
ated at heart with hypocrltical
Republican ideas and principles.

In the Grab Game Ourselves.

The powers whose greed has
been standing in the way Of an
early settlement ofthe China ques-
ton are not all on the other side
OF the ocean. We had been in
formed that Germany had pre-
ferred a claim for $50, 900, 600 in
demnity, and the United States
had suggested a gross indemnity
Of Saoo, ooo, 900, to be divided into
eighths and distributed among the
powers.
It now appears that Germauy's S
claim is for 500. 900, 900, and when
it is remembered that she had to
move an army of 1000 men from
Europe to China, while the United
States sent only 5000 from the
Philippines and yet asks sas, ,ooo,.
900 for our expenses. the German
demand is not an unreasonable
one. When it comes to gougine

The Inauguration OF Mr.. McKinley's
second term oi Office was celebrated
Yesterday at w Washington with the simple
but impressive forms consecrated by the
traditions of the United States, There
is something stirring to hearts oi all
men, and stirring, most o. all, to men
Of British blood. in the free acts OF
great and free people, II is with the
fullest sympathy and with the best Of
good wishes that we witness the con
gratulations paid by the citizens OF
prosperous and powerful Common
wealth to the chief magistrate OF their
choice, and that we recognize in their
greetings to the reelected President
spontaneous homage to the institutions
handed down to them by their fathers.
Whatever may be the defects OF the
American system OF government-and
they are neither few nor inconspicuous,
as educated Americans readily ackuowl.
edRe-it commands the affection and
the admiration Of seventy millions OF
men. That is an immense merit in any
Constitution, and the immense crowds
VINO gathered at Washington Yesterday
and heartily cheered Mr.. Mckinley were
testifying to the conviction OF all their
countrvmen that the laws OF the United
States possess it. The popularity of the
President and OF his Administration
during his first term was shown by the

Washington sentinel., 1901-03-30
London DAILY Chronicle, Mar. 5.

The chief poiut in Mr.. McKinley's
inaugural address is of necessity his
prououncement on Cuba and the Philip
pines. Mr.. Mckinley has a constitu-
tioual aversion to plain speaking, but
on this occasion the de finite mandate OF
the electorate in favor OF an imperialistic
policy has encouraged him to be more
than usually explicit. He declares his
intention to take up the white mans
burden both in Cuba and the Philippines.
The peace that America conters on
CUBA must carry with il guarantees of
permanence, and similarly he promises
the Philippines local self government
under the aegis OF the SIars and Stripes
Those two words loYal" and "disloYal"
as applied to the Filipinos respectively
who have submitted or are still in arms
contain the kernel OF the situation. AS
we recently remarked, no civilized
power finding itself where the United
States now stands could Law down its
obligations and return to the position
it occupied before the war with S'tdin.
Time in its progress creates burdens for
US all, and to ignore them is not to
annul them. America definitely, though
perhaps unconsciously embarked on an
expsnsionist colony when she declared
war on Spain, and today she only recog.
nizes, through the mouth OF her Presl-
dent, the logical outcome OF her own
acts,

review his war policy, and urge on his
countrYmen the iulflment oithe respon-
sibilities which in his opinion are en-
tailed by the series Of events in 1898.
The war with Spain, he AYERS. was
inevitable, and he appeals to the con-
science OF the country to aid him In the
settlement OF the questions which have
since arisen.

If the American people as a whole are
not eager for more expansionism ia
regard to the possessions they have
acquired, still less are they anxious for
military displays IN behalf of those who
SIT IN darkness, as Mark Twain has put
it. They are not very proud OF the
recent Chinese expedition. They do
not intend to play the part OF Huns
under German Field Marshal any more.
In objecting to any other expedition
into the interior oil China the Washing
ton Cabinet is undoubtedly expressing
the general sentiment OF the people.
The American missionaries have on the
whole given sensible advice, and the
people are not so mad as to suppose that
trade IS to be promoted by robbing and
killing your customers. The raucous
strains of "The White Mans Burden"
no longer attracts the American mind.
The lingo pulpit, which has been such
a pernicious force, is more quiet, the
Yellow Press been found out, and a
portion of it has taken on quite another
hue In a word, the silly ImperIalist
fever has greatly subsided, and the cold,
clear grey OF dawn has succeeded to the
orgies OF the night. In the Banquet OF
Plato one of the guests asks whether
they are going to drink for pleasure or
for drunkenness. The Americans have
had their bout, ana like Agatbon's
companions, they are feeling the effects,
so they now propose a more reasonable
course.

Lonaon Morning ~, Ma,eA s.

President Mckinley has taken full
advantage OF the marvellous tide Of
prosperity attending his last Admins
tration to press home the policy Of
expansion associated with his name
His ADDRESS from the Capitol yesterday
opened with a triumphant appeal to the
self satisfaction OF his eOuntTymen at the
splendid commercial successes achieved
during the past three years. They are
results memorable at any time, and the
more signal because they seem to
promise still greater advantages tor the
national industry in the near future,
The allusion to "broader commercial
relations" will be noted as some hint
that the Republican party IS not bound
Tor all time to a policy OF high tariffs.
But this passage is followed by rec
ommendation OF reciprocal trade ar.
rangements with other nations, and this
scheme, at least as regards nations on
the American continent, was part of the
fiscal policy OF President Harrison. The
Inaugural address OF the President OF the
| United States possesses a character
altogether different from that OF a mes
sage to Congress Speaking from the

Just as soon have a good oil well as

gion, together with the tanks for stor-
age of the oil. They resemble huge
tubs which vary in capacity from ESQ
to $500 barrels, are covered on top
with boards, and housed or shielded
over. In passing through these cities
one would think that they were cities
of tanks. A single steam engine in
several places answers for the means
of pumping of the wells. The power
is transmitted from we'll to we'll by the
means of cables and shaftings.
