WESTMINSTER THEATRE.

The performance given by the Rentz-
Santley Burlesque company at the West
minister theatre yesterday were hardly up
TO the usual standard. for ii lacks the vim
that has established a reputation for the
organic ton, which is one of the Oldest
on the road.
One thing that can be said about It,
however. and that Is there is not word
or n gesture that is Objectionable to any
one.
The performance begins with burles-
que on "The Auctioneer" called He
Hooks in Here" and in this Charles Rob-
inson is the leading feature, and is as
sisted by the entire company, which in

college in 1870. He is represented
to be not even so able man as WI
Ting Fang, which is no credit to
the diplomatic policy of China.
That country is credited with many
able men, eminent in ability and
scholarship, but the administration
of public affairs in that country do
not consider it of prime importance
to send the best men as ministers to
represent the country at the seat OF
government of the great powers.
This mistaken policy is one of the
occasions of keeping China in the
rear. While this new minister to this
country is considered man of medi-
OGRE ability it is said he is more
able man than his colleagues repre-
senting China at the capitals of
France, Russia or Italy, each of
which is recently sent there to SUI
persede a minister of considerable
experience.

General Smiths Retiremen emit.

The action of President r oose-
Welt in the retirement of General
Smith as punishment in disapprov-
al of campaign methods does not
meet with general acceptance. 1t
is the first act Of the Roosevelt adj
ministration that has received much
adverse criticism. General Smith
has been in the service for al years,
always distinguished for bravery in
action, and good judgment in COM
mand and administration, excepting,
as is claimed, in this brief campaign
in Samar.
It is generally assumed that gen
eral who had been IN active service
for 40 years, and whose acts had
never been such as to subject him to
criticism, would not make an un-
warranted order to his subordinates.
1t is supposed that if General Smith
issued an order to "kill and burn
the exigencies of the case demanded
that kind of a campaign. General
Smith was expected to put a speedy
end to the instruction in Samar.
He knew the conditions there and
the necessities.

The JOURNAL places the Republi-
can state ticket, nominated at Madi-
son, at the head of its columns r
M. La Toilette for governor; James
0. Davidson for lieutenant governor
Walter L. Houser for secretary OF
state; L. M. Sturdevant for attorney
general; J. F. Kempf for treasurer;
Charles P. Cary for superintendent
of public instruction; John w. Thorn
as for railroad commissioner; and
Zeno M. Host for insurance com
missioner.
Gov. La Toilette was renominated
for a second term after one Of the
fiercest and bitterest fights ever
known in a political campaign in
this state.
Following is the vote given the
several candidates: For governor
La Toilette, 1870; Whitehead, 266;
Scofeld, S, Froelich, 8. For lieutenant
reconciliation, 783; Luedtke,
us. For secretary of state-Hous-
er, 626; Flint, 435. For attorney
general-Sturdevant, 7o1; Classen,
231; Bergh, 1871. For state treas
urer-Kempf, oI41a; End. 414H;
Clausen, II; Ferguson, S. For
superintendent of public instruction

railroad commissioner-Thomas
Coz; Tarbox, 315; Swenholdt, 1o2 II
Winslow, 51l; Wilson, 1. For
insurance commissioner-Host, 6o6;
Lakewood, al; Broadwell, IL.
The platform of principles adopt
ed may be found on the inside of this
paper. The adoption of a primary
election bill and reform in the collec-
ton of taxes was reaffirmed and eau
cuses advised to commit candidates
for the assembly to these principles.
No one will deny the right Of the
convention to demand of candidates
for the Legislature an adherence to
the principles and policies of the
party, although it is supposed that a
Republican will necessarily act for
the advantage Of his party in any
capacity in which he serves.
The majority of the Republicans
of the state have given expression to
their will in this convention, and
that settles the question of the state
ticket. The fight of the factions mas
ended here. All good Republicans
have deprecated the division of SEN
timent that led to such unprecedent-
ed bitterness. 1t is time to lay aside
chickering's and get down to work
for the ticket, part of which is
already determined upon. 1t is
hoped that there will be harmony in
the caucuses and conventions for the
nomination of members of the legis-
lature.

The beef trust has the inside track.
Whatever action the government
may see fit to take against them in
the matter ofthe present high price of
meat it will little affect them. They
have made their pile. The agents
of the government have been inves-
tigating the conditions antecedent to
the raise in price of beef and the
present situation. This has been
done by inquiry at the great centers
of cattle exhanges-Kansas City, St.
Louis, Omaha, and Chicago, and on
the cattle ranges in the west. These
agents have established these facts
The ranges were largely depleted OF
cattle about year ago. The unpre-
cedented drought of last year COM
PEELED the cattle owners to sell. The
beef trust took advantage of the
rush of cattle to market to scale
down the price and after they had
bought all that was for sale put up
the price TO purchasers of meat,
Here is where the combine made
their money. The price ofmeat is
now high from the scarcity of beef
cattle. It will keep up as long as
there is scarcity.

had just finished my days work,
when the door of the office opened
and Jack Ward, a gentleman whom
I had known for years, entered.
He was in the prime of life, with
broad shoulders and striking fea-
lures. In his eyes, one read courage,
endurance and that indefnable some
thing which marks man among
men. Personally, knew him for a
humane and kindly man; and | al
ways felt while in his presence that
here was one of Gods noblest men.
For the past two years, he had
boarded in the home of my dearest
friend, Miss Irene Hall, and l had
always hoped they would see each
other with my eyes.
To her friends, she was the en-
bodiment of sweet, womanly beauty.
Her delicately cut countenance show
ed Enthusiastically that she had drunk
deeply Of life's goblet, filled for the
most part with the bitterness of
pain. The past year, her life had
seemed like the flow of majestic
river, as it finds its way between
messy banks. Her acquaintance
with Mr.. Ward had put the rocks
over which it flowed in the begin
ming into the past; although [ knew
that never by word or action, had he
given her reason to think he cared
for her. Often | had wanted to say
to him: "Do you not see that Irene
is the dearest, sweetest woman in
the world?" But then, l did not
even know she cared for him.
"Miss Landless, are you busy?"
he asked as he closed the door.
"No sir" I replied, "Will you not
be seated? 1 am never too busy to
see my friends"
"Do you belive in repentance?
Do you think it right to give one
life for another?" he quickly in
quired.
"Believe in repentance, why GER
tainly l do. Heaven would be a
lonely place if it were otherwise;
and I know several who are even
now sacrificing their lives. Christ
could do no more"
"Thank you. | want to tell you
the story of my life. l have a favor
to ask of you, but before I ask it, l
must tell you my life's secret"

while he forced back the warm tears
