FUNNY TRAGEDY

Signs there are that the American stage Is &C.
yeloping higher standard OF art II not OF morals.
This week a man in attendance at one OF the New
York theaters laughed himself TO death. Heart fall
ure resulted from keen appreciation OF what was In
tended as a real joke by the performers
Whether the shock was due to surprise over seem
ingly genuine comic art or TO the joke ITSELF TO
the Preparations Of the performers Is not stated.
But it is plain that the cardiac excaton terminal
ing in DEATH was caused by laughter which was
originated by the performers and their performance
OF itself this is sufficient to show that the stage is
growing better.
Patrons Of the theater would prefer to die OF
laughter if they must die in the playhouse Of COM
plants and malades and distresses started there.
Thousands OF hearts have temporarily ceased to heat
on account Of shocks received by the soul while
viewing suggestive plays but fortunately deaths
have occurred in the auditorium. Having tested
the moral and physical endurance OF the public,
managers and players may have at last conspired 10
provide clean art. The public will do its best to
stand the change.

CIRCUS RIDING IN POLITICS.

CIRCUS RIDING IN POLITICS.
With one foot bound down to Tammany Hall and
the other occupying the Fusion band wagon, Comp
troIler GrOut OF New York presented unique pO-
lftcaI spectacle. It was an acrobatc exhibition not
often to be enjoyed in a lifetime and one which COM
PEELED national attention. The result the withdraw
al Of his nomination by the Fusion convention re-
convened for the purpose illustrates that playing
both ends against the middle is poor policy and not
in accord with American ideas.
The issue in New York is the Endorsement Of the
Low administration as against Tammany. The Low
regime from a business viewpoint, has been good.
Mr.. Grout, Comptroller has contributed materi-
ally to the general satisfactory record of the admin
istration Now Republicans and Independents would
reelect Low ostensiby without introducing national
questions into the fight. The Citizens Union and
the Republican organization renominated Low. Mr..
Srout and Mr.. Fornes were also renominated; the
latter for President of the Board Of Aldermen Then
came Tammany attempting TO steal Fusion thunder
by indorsing Messrs. Grout and Fornes.
The Objectionable feature was that Mr.. Grout
seemed to bury the question at stake under his per
sonal desire to succeed himself in his job AS the
new development shows. If it were known that he
would countenance Tammany nomination, he
would not have been chosen by fusion. He was
openly charged with taking that nomination under
false pretense the charge which led to the rescind
ing Of his name by the Fusionists.
Though he now is literally only Tammany can
ddate his position nevertheless is peculiar and ques-
tionable- In accepting place the Fusion ticket
he stood upon Fusion platform. Fusion tactics in
Tolve thorough condemnation of Tammany. As
Tammany candidate presumably he does not repu-
date the Tammany platform. He represents every
thing and, consequently, nothing. What on earth
can he say for himself during the campaign? de
can boost only Grout, and that seems TO have been
his chief aim and purpose.
Mr.. Grout nominaIy is a Democrat. But he
sought ONCE not as Democrat, Republican, Inde-
pendent or Fusionist but as a kind of characteress
composite. This sort Of thing will not do. Munich
PAL campaigns should be nonpartisan in the usual
sense Of the word but not without issues distinct
alignments. Endorsement Of the Low admnistra-
ton is clean-cut issue and candidate cannot by
any possibility be both sides Of it If there
Tamnany and Fusion the voter should be permit
ted to choose between them.

most pronounced positive feature Of the Republican
situation cannot be blamed for resenting the ma
chimes proposal TO pacate him with the nomlna-
ton for Attorney General II there is anything sug-
gesve of utter vacuity and nnOcuousness it is the
Missouri Republican nomination for Attorney Gen
eraL It's emptier, IL anything, than the minority
senatorial honor Somehow it doesn't seem just the
appropriate thing to offer Mr.. NOrtOni.
Surely such an offer wouldn't be quite consistent
on the art of the machine, the journalistic mouth
pieces Of which have been lauding good works and
great movements and stridently promising to select
The fttest representative of the good government

Taking its cue from Missouri Republican papers.
the Washington Post hints that presidential mention
Of Senator COckrell is fOstered by men who would
soon open a contest for the senatOrship- The
Post has not read Champ Clarks declaration that all
senatorial possibilities will agree TO support Senator
COckren for the senatorship until the presidential
election is decided. Senator COckreIl Is Of the
