II trust that those present will take
advantage Of the occasion to present
to tho country the Importance Of main.
tanning Democra tic principles as they.
| were set forth In the platforms OF 1896
and 1900. The merger decision shows how
closely the Supreme Court is divided and
how easy 1t is for those who sympathize
with corp6ra-:a wealth to find plausible
reasons for staying the hand Of gov
crnlnent when 1t attempts to rebuke
those who exploit the people. Under our
Constitution the President appoints
Judges, and those who have watched this
decisions IN the Hayes-Ttlden contest.
In the Income tax cases, III the trust
cases and In the cases involving the
policy Of the government In the Philip
pines cannot doubt it is as important to
have judges who sympathze with the
people as to have judges learned In the
law. In the present struggle between
piutocracy and democracy, the corpora
lions are seeking to control the Supreme
Court, and If they can do that. tho House
OF Representatives the Ser to and the
President arc poweress to protect the
people. 81
II trust that those who are honorcd
with an invitation to speak a your. ban
quet will raise a note Of warning against
the attempt now being made BY the
money magnates to control the Demo-
cratic convention and to secure the NOM
nation Of a Democratic candidate who
will be obligated In advance to betray

TheafeKs.

New York, Nov. 5.-Most of the New
York musical critics are superior and
solemn persons and the discussion they
are holding at present as to whether
Henry W. Savage's production of
"Parsifal' at the New York Theater
is or is not superior to the previous
representations at B'ayreuth and the
Metropolitan Opera House is a gloomy
and majestic affair. Through it all
there is disposition to pick flaws in
the minor matters Of the Savage pre-
sentiment which were totally overlook
ed in the Conried revival. Mr.. Saw
ages material environment of the score
and story of "Parsifal" is every bit
as impressive and imposing as Mr..
Conrieds, and in more than one in
stance a distinct Improvement, yet the

and might reasonably be expected to
be altogether too firing for an octo-
genarian. In one whole act she is
on the stage, and practically holding
the center of 1t, from the rise of the
curtain to the falling thereof. Mrs.
Gilbert is very proud of her power of
endurance, though she admits that
they are the result of the most elabo-
rate care. She dearly loves to go to
the theater herself and see the work
of others, but she has had time and
strength to see only two performances
this season.
One of these was a minstrel show,
which she says reminded her of old
times most delightfully."-, and set her to
laughing as she hadn't laughed for
years. In their day she knew Billy
Birch and his partner, Charlie Backus,
both star Ministries, very well indeed.
The other show she saw was Willie
Golfers 1.-THE Dictator
Willie Collier you know" she
says, was our call boy at Days seven
years"
Though Mrs. Gilbert has been on
the stage sixty years or whereabouts
more than half a century in America
and so must have a wonderful store
of dramatic "reminiscences, she likes to
talk about the present more than the
past. Once get her started on the
days that have been, but are no more,
though the result is treat worth
