pie of this law than we know today, or
than we ever shall know if the system is
extended by this legislature so as to en-
brace any political divisions save only
those which are thickly populated, as the
cities are.
Every Intelligent friend Of the direct

immovable on this principle of conduct.
In no other way can the system be saved.

troll OF our county affairs if there exist
ed among them any real sense of Of
fetal responsibility. The board OF county
commissioners has been urged time and
again TO take the matter under consider
alton, but has refused to concern itself.
The legislature has been appealed to to
make some arrangement which will save
the public the expense and uncertainty
now endured by them in connection with
the office. Thus far nothing has been
attempted.
The only reason apparently for all this
indifference and inaction is that the
present head of the abstract office, who
is an estimable man personally, secures
the protection of his party associates
who are in control in our county affairs,

and tore the veil from her face. We

self by Mr.. Vyse on his bicycle. While
I was half unconscious, he took the god

METROPOLITAN.

The advance sale of seats opened yester-

and her company at the Metropolitan
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday even
ingS of next week. The sale was very
large during the morning, rather light in
the afternoon, but brisk and steady from
. o'clock to { III the evening. The receipts
on the day for the Held sale were a
trIfie larger than on the opening day Of
the Rogers Brothers sale, which held the
record for this season at the Metropoli-
tan until yesterday.
Tie Dairy Farm is pleasing the
patrons of the Metropolitan this week,
playing to succession of good-sized
houses. The business, while not phenom-
enally large, is satisfactory, and the
management has no complaint to make
on the score Of attendance.

the many Nell Gwynne'' plays now be-

understood why this version has been
commended as one of the best, for the
plot and story have been made quite
consistently historical, and none of the
liberties nave Deen taken LnaC OCner du-
thors have been free to use.
With great deal Of fun and some
pathos the terrors of a woman7s jealousy
are burlesqued in Because She Loved

CURE IT Or KML 1T.

It will be a great public benefit if the
direct primary law now pending in the
legislature is passed in the form in which
there is a public demand for it. 1t will be
an equally great public injury if it is
passed in any such form as it's enemies
seek to see it passed or as it's fool friends
are trying to pass it.
The direct primary system is an ex-
pertinent pure and simple 1t is still
en- untried experiment to all intents It's
results in Minneapolis offer no true cri-
terion of it's public results Indeed the
election of that arch demagogue and pc
litical lunatic, Doc Ames, as it's first
fruits, ought to condemn it in the esti-
nation of every thoughtful citizen. But
in its essential principle it is an excellent
thing, and the trial of it ought to be en-
couraged.
There are disadvantages attending the
operation of the measure which the re-
formers-that is, those who think they
are reformers, but who never have done
and never will do anything on this earth
to promote the reform or Improvement of
political conditions-choose to ignore if
they ever think Of them. It is not nee
essary to specify these at this time. One
of them, however, is that in the present
condition of public morals the expense of
candidates under the direct primary sys-
tenn viii be very much increased That is
because a certain element among the
voters is bound to get some form of
gain, either through assurance for office
or money for their services, from their
activity in political life.
If this bill becomes a law In the form
of being confined to cities of over 1000
population it will be all right. If it is
given any broader application it should
be buried speedily and beyond all hope of
resurrection.
All the further experimentation that is
needed under this bin can be carried on
in Minneapolis. There will be another
city election there before the next session

ADARING DEED.

II later reports should fully confirm the
current account OF the circumstances of
Agumaldo's capture. Gen. Funston will
merit the highest Donors that are likely
to be conferred on him, and will receive
the thanks of the American people. His
act will so down as one of the most dar-
ing individual exploits in the history OF
American arms
TO have gone into the enemy's country
with handful of companions and risked
the capture there of the head of the
Filipino instruction, when at any mo-
ment he was liable to he betrayed by
his companions or overwhelmed by the
natives, must be regarded as being as
daring an act as could be performed by
any soldier The plan itself showed
degree of resourcefulness which marks
its author as not only a brave man, but
the possessor of a mind of the highest
originality.
The capture of Aguinaldo will without
doubt bring the prevailing instruction
to a close. He has been the inspiring
and directing mind of the movement
from the outset. Whether at liberty or
in captivity he still maintains the faith
of the mass of his people as great lead
er and one thoroughly devoted to their
liberties
The treatment to which the captured
leader is subjected by American au-
thority Will have much to do with the
progress of events in the Philippines.
He has 1t In his power to materially
aid in Occurring the acceptance of Ameri-
can rule by the mass of the natives of
The island. Even if all that has been
Sd of him by the adherents Of the ad-
nlinistration be true his usefulness in
bringing peace to his countryman and
it's people is not to be denied. He will
now doubtless readily realize the fu-
readily distinguish the great advantages
which will come to his people through
the substitution of American for Span
ish rule If, as the administration organs
would have the country believe, it is
the ultimate purpose to grant the Fill
pino people the fullest allowable meas
ure of civil freedom and self-government,
Aguinaldo is altogether too shrewd a
man not to recognize the possibilities of
the situation both for him and his peo-
pie
AS prisoner Aguinaldo can render his
people more service than it has been
possible for him to render to them for
many months past. He will doubtless
recognize this truth. If he should be
fully convinced that the purposes OF
the American government are as they
have been represented, and he should
not take steps to bring his people to an
acceptance Of the inevitable, he will
really have done something substantial
to justify the statements that have
been made as to the sordid influences
which have controlled him throughout.
Whatever the sequel of Aguinaldos
capture may prove to be, the thanks and
admiration of the country will be freely
bestowed on Gen. Funston and his com
panions.
