Entertainment At VENTS,

One of the best entertainments ever given
to local audience, was rendered before a
packed house at VENTS school, on Friday
evening, April 4, by the ''Burlesque Sporting
Club of Manchester. The room, which
seats nearly 800 people, was packed to the
doors, which restrained not their enjoyment
and repeatedly encored the different members
of the club.
The entertainment consisted of songs, solos
and duets by Miss Carrie Warner and Miss
Hazel Maurath on organ and mandolin, and
two farces, FURNISHED apartments, in three
acts, also laughable farce, "Dutchy and
Niger, in one act. Between the acts an
orchestra, composed of Messrs. Franklin
Horrich, Bertram Strevig, Charles Horrich,
Misses Hazel Maurath and Edith Crumrine
furnished choice selections, which were re-
ceived with applause. The club is composed
ofHorace p. d. Garrett A. Shellman Greene,
Clarence knel!er, Herman Marshall, John
w. Abkens and Jesse Marshall.
The club is now a permanent organization,
and expects to play at Silver Run in the near
future.

Second Congressional District.

Under the act passed at the recent session
district is composed of Hartford Baltimore
and Carroll counties and the fifteenth and
sixteenth wards of Baltimore City. Cecil
county, formerly belonging to the district, is
now part of the first or Eastern Shore district,
and two wards of Baltimore City have been
eliminated from the district and two districts
of Baltimore county, formerly in the fifth dis
trict, have been added. At the election last
fall, on the vote of Comptroller, Carroll gave
a Democratic majority of 149, Baltimore
county ,245 and Hartford S30-total 2,224.
The fifteenth ward of Baltimore City re-
turned Republican majority of 237 and
the sixteenth ward 24O-total AIT. This
would indicate Democratic majority in the
district of about 1850. This majority will ap-
pear should the Democrats nominate the
right kind of man-an able man, clean
man, and one who has not been standing
ofice-holder or candidate for office, and
therefore one of whom the people have not
grown tired. Charles E. Fink, of Westmin-
SIcT, Is d SGulleuldu WIZ Ills oil IucSt
ments, and it is very probable the Democracy
of Carroll will present his name to the dis
trict convention, should he consent to allow
it to be done. He is not candidate, but we
have no doubt he would accept the nomination
if rendered him, and many of his personal
friends are already talking of his fitness for
Congress, his and his ability to carry the
district. The last Representative from Car
roll was Hon. Frank T. Shaw, whose second
term expired thirteen years ago. Since then
Hartford county has had Democratic Rep
resentative in Hon. Herman Stump for two
terms, and Baltimore county had Democratic
Representative one term in Hon. j. Fred. c.
Talbot. For the past four Congressional
elections the Republicans have carried the
district-for three terms by Baker, of Har
ford, and the last time by Blakeney, of Balt-
more county. The latter's majority was very
slender, and Mr. Fink's friends belief that he
can easily carry the district over Blakeney,
who will be renominated.

It Has Made a Difference.

His Royal Highness, Theodore Roosevelt,
attended the Charleston Exposition this week.
AT banquet rendered him he made speech.
1t was partly on war, of course-he never
omts to talk of war. The President alluded
to the war on Spain, and how it united the
sections. He said
"When we got through the war it did not
make bit of difference to us whether it was
au admiral who came from Vermont or a
lieutenant who came from Alabama. If the
man had done his duty in such shape as to
make US each feel an even more generous
thrill of pride in our common nationality the
debt that we owed him had little to do with
the section from which he came"
one would take this part of his speech serious
ly, and it was only part Of the nice things
expected on such occasions. He certainly
well knows that section and politics had much
those serving during the Spanish American
war. Schley did his duty, but the Republican
Administration gave the credit of the destruc-
ton of Cervera's fleet to Sampson who was
tNtlNc away. WI oHly was liilo uOHtJ ou
Schley was even censured for not doing little
nothings that could not have had anything to
do with the fate of the battle, whether done
or left undone. Sampson was Northern born
and a Republican. Schley was Southern born
and Democrat.
The people generally, regardless of section
and politics, however, have given the credit
of winning the battle Of Santiago to Schley.
He has been hailed as the Hero of Santiago
by the people everywhere with equal enthusi
ism, whether in Baltimore or Boston, New
York or Richmond, Louisville or Chicago.
The people love fair play, and Mr.. Roosevelt,
''the only hero of San Juan hill, will find
this evident in the election returns in 1904,
should he be nominated to succeed himself

The Cuban and the Filipino.

United States army and naval officers, who
declared that the Filipinos are more capable
of selfgovernment than the Cubans. The
Cubans have made a Constitution, with the
help of the Republican Administration at
Washington and the insistence of Congress and
elected president, and on May 20 the Island
is to be turned over to the local government.
In addition to granting Cubans self-govern-
ment, the United States is to give the Cubans
advantages in tariff rates.
This is what the United States is to do for
the Cubans, people, according to army and
navy officers, less fitted by education and
temperament for sef:government than the
Filipinos.
The Philippine Islands are not to have self
government, but a carpetbag government.
The high places, with large salaries, are to be
filled with Republican party hunkers appointed
by the President of the United States. And
every appointee will regard public office prl-
vate snap, as did the carpet-baggers who rob-
bed and plundered the Southern States during
Reconstruction times.
In place of reciprocity, tariff wall has
been erected around the archipelago.
In the place of the gold standard, and all
the blessings flowing from it, the Filipinos are
to be given a silver medium of exchange.
Not the ''ffty cent dollar" the debased coin of
the "Bryan populists and anarchists, but a
bullion dollar, without any fixed value; coin
that has to be weighed to find its value, and
the value will be as changeable as the price of
any other commodity. The Filipino silver
bullion is not to be current in the United
States The "fifty-cent' dollar at home is
as good as any other dollar, and will be cur
rent in the Philippines, where 1t will pass the
same as gold dollar or greenback, and will
purchase twice the amount of goods the silver
dollar that we are to force upon the tIlipinos.
This is what the United States is to do for
superior people.
The anterior people are to have selfgovern-
ment, tariff concessions, and stable curren-
cy. The superior people are to have carpet
bag government, to be surrounded by high
tariff wall, and to have debased and fuct-
uating medium of exchange.
The people of the United States once de-
clared all men free and equal, and that all
just governments derive their powers from the
consent of the governed.
But that is not the doctrine of the latter
day patriots Of the Hanna Roosevelt variety.
With them commerce and trade is first-hu-
man rights is a secondary consideration
Gold is their goal-any method to obtain it is
right.

For the Democratic Advocate

Much surprise, mingled with genuine re-
greet, was expressed in Westminster when the
news came that Rev. w. r. Graham, d. d.,
the popular and faithful pastor of the Metho.
dist Protestant Church, had been sent to a
new field of work and that Easton had Sc
cured the pastor whose return the Church at
Westminster had so unanimously requested.
The announcement in the morning papers
of Wednesday was the first intimation that
any change would be made, the congregation
feeling confident that his faithful and untring
work, during his SIX years passionate, and par
ticularly during the past year, when he
cleared the charge of large back standing
debt added to the membership, and put the
church in perfect repair, both inside and out,
was sufficient guarantee of his usefulness in
this field to entitle him to return and enjoy
the fruits of his labor.
DIR. Graham will be especially missed by
the poor, the sick, and the afflicted, to whom
he has been faithful friend and advisor,
ever ready to respond to the call of those who
needed him, carrying comfort and help to
all, irrespective of social position or intlu-
ence.
During his pastorate the young people of
his church have been held together and de-
veloped into church workers to an unusual
degree, and his taking away at this time
is to be especially regretted. AS pastor,
friend and citizen his loss to Westminster is
great, and the expressions of genuine regret
from all, irrespective of denomination, attest
to his popularity and usefulness. The saloon
keeper and friend of vice who recognize in
him foe worthy of his steel may, perhaps, be
glad to see him go from our midst, but those
who recognize faithful pastor and good citi
zen will unite in bidding him "God Speed
in his new work, and ever remember him
with affectionate regard.
Like Admiral Schley, he leaves his work
with the consciousness of having done his
whole duty conscientiously and well, and that
wherever he may go the great heart of his
people will follow him until his life-work fin
ished, he bears the welcome, swell done,
good and faithful servant, enter into your re-
ward CITIZEN.

President Roosevelt.

Frank A. Richardson, the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, man of
long experience in politics at the national
capital and of wide acquaintance among lead
ing Senators and Representatives, seems to
think that the honied phrases toward Presi
dent Roosevelt and the general expression by
leading Republicans that the President will
be nominated to succeed himself, are not to
be taken literally. He believes the leading
Republicans are getting away from the Presi-
dent. They do not like his brusqueness, his
combativeness, his dogmatic manner, and the
total lack of suavity and gentleness of tone.
All this points to the ADVOCATES predic-
tion-that Roosevelt will go out of the Presi-
dency unlamented. He may be renominated,
but he will not be elected. His youth, his
manner, his lack of experience his civil SER
vice ideas, his brusqueness are driving the
older leading men of the party away from
him. His six months ncumbency of the
Presidency has already resulted in a wide
breach in the party in Congress. over Cuban
tariff concessions, which he has endeavored
to force, and the breach is more likely to
widen than heal.

DIR. G. s. Fullerton, of the University of
Pennsylvania, has written protest against
the reckless comforting of degrees by univer-
sites and colleges. The protest comes very
late, but it may be a benefit in years to come
if the protest is needed. Degrees and titles
in these days count for very little generally,
and do not indicate in the majority of cases
any especial degree of learning. In some
cases the titles are burlesques.
