THE COUNTY FAIR
Neil Burgess in the Celebrated Pastoral
Drama at the Grand.

The character of Abigail Prue was
evidently created especially for Neil
Burgess; without Burgess in that role
it would be but a sorry County Fair
The old maid whose peculiarities, TO-
ibes, contradictory traits of character
and general whole heartedness form tho
life of the celebrated pastoral drama
was so APPLY depicted by this clever
actor at the Grand last evening that
during the performance many people
forgot the sex of the actor and referred
to him as she"
1t was large, fashionable audience,
and it enjoyed itself as a unit. The
most shining example of dyspepsia on
earth could not have done otherwise
than temporarily to forget his affliction
and laugh heartily last evening had he
witnessed the performance of the
County Fair"
The play is deliberately staged while
the race scene i'm the last act is an
effective bit of realism which brought
forth rounds of applause.
AS whole the company is we'll bal.
anced, though the chief demand for
dramatic skill is made upon Burgess.

The Main Point

The Chicago Record-Herald hits the
nail OF I! le cad IN discussing the
Schley verdict editorially when il
says.
with one chara g efistic sweep of
his pen Admiral Dewey settles for
ever the one disputed question out of
grown 10 such regrettable proper
tions. He ends his report with these
words. which recall the courage and
directness of his own acts in Manila
bay:
Commodore Schley was the Sc
noir officer of our squadron off San
tiago when the Spanish squadron at
tempted to escape on the morning of
July ;. 1898. He was i'm absolute
command and is entitled to the credit
due to such commanding officer for
the glorious victory which resulted i'm
the total destruction of the Spanish
ships
I'VE have no doubt that this
splendid vindication by ADMIRAL
Dewey. the highest and best beloved
authority on naval affairs and CON
duct. will be accepted by the Ameri-
can people as their final conclusion.
And il should he accepted by Admiral
Schley as sufficient salve for all the
stings and arrows of abuse which his
vacillation before May 20. 1898. in
viteI and seemingly justified.
There * glory enough for all who
served with SchIey that glorious day
in July. 1898. And if Admiral Dew
ey's postscript is bitter reading for
Admiral Sampson he has only himself
to blame. for one touch of magnani-
nifty in his official report of that
days battle would have rendered all
the subsequent wrangling over the
division of credit impossible.

Where Consistency is Lacking

Representative Russell of Connecti-
cut properly calls attention to the
inconsistency of the administration
position of advocating reciprocity
with Cuba. a foreign country. whiIr
at tn. same time urging high tariff
against the Philippines. declared by
the I nited States supreme court to
be American territory. The incOn-
sistcncy seems. however, as the ST.
Louis Republic relates. to own IL com
peIIing cause which * eminently CON
Sistent with the record of the repub-
lican party. In the case of Cuba
there seems, for once, to be a con-
fiict between the high tariff crowd
and one of the great trusts. \ pol
icy OF reciprocity with Cuba means
the reduction of the tariff on sugar
and. consequently. cheaper raw ma
terilI for the sugar trust. which is
earnestly urging reciprocity in this
single instance. The sugar trust
also hopes by this means TO destroy
the beet-sugar industry in the
United States.
\ tariff tax against the Philippines
on the other hand. would serve the
purpose of all the trusts, and for
this reason there is a doubt only as
to the extent of the tax to be levied.
The proba bilities are that the Ding
ley tariff will be imposed on goods
coming from the Philippines and the
Taft tariff on goods going to- those
islands. with n rebate of the internal
revenue taxes on all articles on which
the customs tariff is imposed. Re
publican sentiment seems to favor
the bill to this effect submitted for
consideration by Chairman Payne of
the house and ways committee. Re
membering the uDfailing potency of
sugar trust influence in republican
councils. there will be no occasion
for surprise if that monopoly corpor-
alton triumphs in the case of Cuba,
securing a reduction of the tariff on
sugar and thus putting into effect
the inconsistency of which Represen-
tative Russell complains.
Such a result would be character |
istic to degree. Beet-sugar growers |
i'm the west and sugar planters in the
south would suffer grievously from
with Cuoa. and American
and Filipino consumers alike would
pay the Philippine tariff tax, but the
trusts would profit in both instances.
And the republican policies are
