Sis Hopkins.

1t is pretty generally conceded to-
day that the Sis Hopkins production
last night at the Park opera house.
was the very best dramatic presenta-
tion here this season.
Rose Melville the creator of the
part was altogether delightful in the
character of Sis Hopkins. That she
has a rich field for her talent in the
play goes without the saying. There
have been none TINS far in the many
limitations of the part who have even
closely approached the true sentiment
of the very peculiar character of Sis
Hopkins. as has Miss Melville.
There were three acts to the come
dy and the interest of the audience
was sustained from the rise to the fall
of the curtain. and this being an old
oppression may not seem to convey
fully the meaning. but it expresses
the truth regarding the intense inter-
est of the audience.
The singing too was especially fine.
The choruses. solos and duets We're
charmingly rendered by the members
of the company.
As clean and wholesome production
which equalle6 the dramatic represen-
tations seen in larger cities, the Sis
Hopkins company was far the best at
traction here in a long while.

Heaped Upon the bridegroom
Elect in China.

Women are constantly complaining
that eligible men show most uneom
promising desire to remain single In
stead of selecting wife. 1t is, there
fore. good thing that the same con.
ditions do not prevail in England as
in some parts of China, or the proba-
bilitr is that not one in thousand
would ever take woman "for better OF
for worse" says Woman's Life.
In these celestial regions the bride
groom-elect has to submit to being
dressed mp by his friends in any sort
Of costume they like, and, thus habited'
they accompany him in state through
the streets Of the town. Perhaps IN
that part Of the world men are over
anxious to be married and everything
which can possibly be done to induce
them to remain single until they ar
rive at a more mature age has to be
resorted to-
1t is another case If all being fair
in love and war. and no doubt the
Chinaman who Is shouting to-day, as
he accompanies bis friend, knows full
well that next week he may be the
bridegroom-elee and So the punish
ment is robbed much Of its terror.

MORE than a year ago The DAWN
made the prediction that Grover Cleve-
land would be the next democratic
nomine for president, and regular
hoot went up from the democratic pa
pers of this coast, but how is it today:
Is it not fact that the drift and tend
ency in that direction is very strong
and gaining strength and favor daily?
The course of President Roosevelt
against the trusts and combinations en-
tirely unfit him for that high and exalt-
ed position in the eyes of the moneyed
combination and they will defeat him
in the convention if possible, and there
is nothing hardly that is impossible
with the combined money power, but
if they fail in the convention, they will
defeat him at the polls by electing
Cleveland.
If Roosevelt is nominated, it will in
sure the election of Cleveland. There
are many reasons for this, and Cleveland
will be elected by republican votes too.
The solid west, regardless of party,
will 60 to Roosevelt, that is, everything
not directly allied with moneyed com
bination, but that amounts to naught.
The money power, trusts and cOmbina-
tons will empty the barrels of money
in New York and doubtful states and
they will be made to go democratic.
While it is true that Cleveland did
wreck the democratic party, he never
betrayed the trust of the money power
and for that reason he is the choice.
The party that would nominate such
a man should be defeated, but it will
not he so.
