ATLANTIC CITY, November :. 1893
The continuance of summer-like weather

demands of pleasure parties and on one
afternoon this week over fifty sails were
counted from the boardwalk Moonlight

visitors of both sexes are out daily fishing
and cunning. But most remarkable of all
is the revival of bathing. A few days ago

example of the i'll results attained by man

Of building another production as much IKE

more or less formality in the atmosphere.
An introduction Is required. Charles Haw-

where, was treated with distant cot osy

of the best actors of the time. failed to find
the critical discernment of the capital city

playgoers of Washington have become ac-

safe to predict hearty recognition of their
talents on the occasion of subsequent visits.

Faith in Diaz.

FROM the review OF heVleWs
1t is a matter of no little surprise to the
foreigner that IN a federal republic whose
institutions are modelled after those of the
United States party activity and even Or
ganization are practically absent. The i'm
mediate cause of this anomalous situation
is the overwhelmingly dominant position
occupied by President Diaz All classes of
the population, from the poorest poems to
the weather. land owners, place such un-
bounded confidence In his ability to direct
the policy Of the country that there is no
need for an organized party to rally to his
support, and no room for an opposition
party. That this situation has remained
practically unchanged during the success
sive terms of his administration can only
be explained by the fact that the political
education of the people has not yet reach
ed the level which the democratic political
system adopted in 1857 demands
In the nominating convention of the lib
eral union party, which assembled in the
City of Mexico on June 10, the political
progress of the last twenty-five years was
clearly mirrored. Delegates from every
state and territory of the republic assem-
bled. not merely to renominate General
Diaz, but to found a national political party
whose main purpose will be the mainte-
nance Of those traditions of law and order
which have contributed so much toward
the industrial advancement of the coun-
try. Whether this party organization will
lead to the formation of an opposition
party remains to be seen. The indications
are that no such party will be formed in
asmuch as 1t would have to take a position
antagonisttc to the present administration
In order to find a reason for its existence.
With such a platform 1t would be fmpossi-
BILE to form party. owing to the absence

formation Of a conservative party, which
would soon be forced into the attitude OF

Trials of the Motorman.
From the Portland Oregonian-


Electrical publications have had their
say about the little-thought-of difficulties
that beset an occupation new to the indus
trial world entered upon with little or no
preparation yet charged with tremendous
RESPONSIBILITIES. The care and nervous
strain of the railway engineer form hack
neyed theme; but no one has ever framed
the sympathetic side of the motorman's lot.
Yet probably the engineer in his eight or
nine hours run has little If anything more
to wear upon his nerves or enchain his
ceaseless attention than the man at the
controller as he pushes his car along the
crowded street, with infinite care, yet with
all possible speed. Danger confronts him
every momentum the treacherous rail-. the
weak but unsuspected axle, the imperfect
wheel. the chance obstruction of needless
human beings terrified animals or hurry
ing unseen vehicles. Perhaps 1t is a wonder
that so few street car accidents occur
when we consider the haste with which the
busy populace demands to be carried from
point to point, the opportunities for mshap
in equipment or rolling stock. the always
nresent element of human error and the
nainful awkwardness OF so many persons
in boarding and leaving cars

MIR. WILLS CURTAIN SPEECH-One
of the sorrows of the comedian was Illus
trated when Nat Wills was called upon for
Il speech early In the week. Mr.. Wills was
SO moved by the sentiment of the occasion
that he forgot about his ludicrous tramp
makeup when he stepped before the cur
tain. He spoke seriously. but there was
considerable element in the audience who
were ready to laugh, and anticipated the
Joke which they felt sure he was going to
tell. When he referred to Washington as
his home 1t somehow struck a number of
people as irresistibly funny. When he re-
peated the observation. the jest was ex-
Cruciatlng and 1t took half minute to fully
impress the fact that Mr.. Wills had for the
moment stepped out of the character. Later
Mr.. Wills changed his phraseology and
merely said that this is his native city.
Strangely enough this slight variation was
sufficient to secure courteous and serious
attention at the outset Such are the sub
tletles of stage humor.
