Britain Crying For Protection.

Experience is the best teacher. Great
Britain, (which used to pride itself upon
boiu@thF land of free trade, is now Sc
r.oJfeiy.. vering in that faith, and the
movement for protection has secured
the support of several members of the
cabinet. ::
Premier BaIfaur is the latest to, sup
Eort Lord Chamberlain's stand for pro-
)ectfon. Britain is land of many col
nnies, wlich rule themselves. Austria
lin and Now Zealand are two which
have taken stands for protection. Free
i'gde England now finds its own col
oaias addingato their revenues and i'm
pUrtance by putting'a tariff on British
made goods -.
The. SUCCESS ef several of its colonies
Under protection seems to have set the
british statesmen TO thinking. OF
course after years of free trade it may
lake some time to cause protection to
come. But. the change will certainly
be adopted. The British workingman
must be given tile opportunity to de-
SelGp; British trade which is languish-
ing abroad must be stimulated at home.
The growing demand in Great Brit
ain for protection shows how wise is
America in sticking TO it. When the
land which has long prided itself upon
free trade sees.the error of that course
it is the strongest possible Endorsement
which could be given to the Republican
policy of Observation-Disclosures Item,

enough to exclude British goods and

British countries as any one likes. It
is not to be supposed that Britain will
sacrifice very much on our behalf in re-
sponse to such approaches as this. The
natural effect Of such utterances would
be to make her heart as hard as our
own. We do not believe that. such pre-
posterous views are those Of our people.

KATE CLAYTON.

Kate Claxton and her company in
the antiquated play. The Two Or
phans.'' drew a big house to the Dun
can last night. The easOn that Miss
Claxton has put beyond her with the
vanity of early youth have robbed the
little lady of none Of her cleverness.
Her Interpretation of the role of the
blind girl lacks little. Surprisingly
coed was the support of Miss Cone as
H~anriette. John f. Hazard. though
wanting the qualities of a strong actor,
pleased the audience in the attractive
part of Picard. The roles of La Fro
chard and Jacques are among the most
resourceful in the piece. They were
horribly b~utchered last night.
1t is somewhat surprising that THE
Two Orphns' has held its popularity
for so many years. The despair ana
degradation and gloom and pathos of
the play are lightened but little by the
clap-trap sunburst at the end. But
many of the situations are exciting.
there is opportunity for the display of
clever acting. and. more than all. the
piece presents not unnatural pictures
Of the Paris of a time when men. in
their fanciei worship of reason. had
sunk TO the level of brutes.

A PENSION TO GOV. ALTGELD'S

(From the Boston Transcript
Ii is a striking proof of the swift
passage Of political acrimony that the

a pension of $4,000 a year to the widow
Of John p. Altgeld-the Trainer of the
democratic platform of 1896 and. OF
practically all new issues in the poll
tics of the country up to date. State
pensions are infrequent in the west,
md we do not recall a case where IL
linois has taken such action. Altgeld,
while governor. encountered the bit
terest opposition FROM a S majority
of the people of the state. They re-
garded him as a dangerous man. Per-
~sonally and with men of high sta
ton. though differing politics, who
knew him intimately, such as Lyman
j. Gage, he was not so regarded. Now
the state seems to have come about
