A Dull Theatrical Season.

Dramatic Mirror.
 And as. by common consent, business generally has not been seriously dis turbed by politics, how has it fared with the theater? A digest of the nu- merous reports received from all parts of the country by The Mirror from week to week will show that theatrical business generally has been much bet ter than last year, and, in fact, at least up to normal standards. in most local ities.
 In New York. however, for the two months or more that the season has been in progress the results have not been encouraging. There have been at least a dozen distinct failures of elab- crate offerings. Several plays and productions intended for indefn- ite time at metropolitan theaters, af- ter a few weeks of confessedly poor business here, have gone on the road in the hope of finding patronage denied them in New York. Most of their suc- cessors here are battling against public indifference and small receipts in the hope that after election a boom will come.
 It may be asserted that of the twen- ty-five or more theaters of the first class given over to what are known as Broadway" attractions, not more than eight or ten at the most are do- ing a good or profitable business, while those that are playing to crowds or ca pacity are lamentably fewer in num- Der.
 Something much better is hoped for, of course, on all sides after election.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-11-14

man even at three score. But that was not the whole or the main cause of his breakdown. He was honestly and sincerely concerned over the con- dition of public affairs, and when he was nominated by the Liberal Repub- lfcans and the Democrats we've no doubt that he really believed himself destined to bring peace to the country. He was opposed to the second nomina- ton of Grant and earnestly deplored the horrors of the reconstruction pe- riod.
 With these feelings Greeley threw himself into the campaign with as much vigor and determination as he ever displayed in his opposition to slavery, but he was not equal to the strain. His constitution was weak ened and his mental powers impaired by the events and misfortunes, do- nestle and otherwise, of the past few years. and the effort to carry on such a campaign as he considered necessary was too much for him. Then. when 1t was all over. when he realized the ex- tent of his defeat. and saw how he had deceived himself and been deceived, he broke down. He realized that the country did not need or want him. that his hopes of saving it were found- ed on the sand. and that he was prac- tically useless and left behind. To . man of his strenuous nature this dis covery was death-blow. and there is no cause to wonder that he took it as such and succumbed to the physical and mental strain and to what he look ed on as humiliating experience. The blow killed him. and small wonder.
 The case is entirely different with Judge Parker. He is in the prime -of manhood. mentally and physically. He has no cause to worry over his future. for he is under no doubt as to his abil- ity to support himself and family. That he regrets his defeat is natural and that he has cause to feel some de- gree of humiliation at the extent of that defeat is not to be wondered at. but he has nothing to be ashamed of. in spite of the efforts of such newspa- pers as The Chronicle to prove to the contrary. He has no cause to pity himself and certainly desires none from his enemies.

Less Borrowing


 The South and West have borrowed less money of New York and the other leading financial centers of the East this Tall for crop moving purposes than ever before, and this fact is now the subject of considerable comment in Eastern and Northern banking circles.
 It was the case only few years ago that serious inroads were made on the resources of the banks in the North and East by the farmers and planters of the South and West for the noviine of their crops. They did not have the money with which to meet the de- mands made upon them for the gath erfng and marketing of their products. But these things have greatly changed during the pasttwo or three years because of the large returns received from corn, cotton, wheat and other staple agricultural products, and be- cause of the rapid strides made in manufacturing enterprises and in the development of the natural resources of the agricultural portions of the Uni ted States.
 Two years ago the amount of money furnished to New Orleans through the New York sub-treasury and distribut- ed through the cotton n-producing terrl- tory contiguous thereto was sS,410,000, This occurred between July and Now ember. Last year the amount during the same period was $7.726,100, and from July to November this year the amount reached only S5,610,000.
 These figures are taken from the records of the movement of money and are authentic. There is, of course, a considerable amount of money distri- buted through the other larger cities in the South, but for comparative pur- poses these from New Orleans serve as a basis.
 Those who have closely watched de- velopments in the South and West dur ing the past three years, during which period their prosperity has been far more abundant than that of the North and East, are not in the least sur prised at the showing which has been made. The greater financial indepen- dence of the former sections has come as logical development, and it has ap- parently come to stay.

GoyERNoR-ELECr DoUeLAs.

When a reader picks up paper now with an editorial on the Brockton shoe- maker who has been elected Governor of Massachusetts. he expects to see some enthusiastic Democrat urging the New Englander as the logical candi- date for 1903. We have no mind to go out at this early day on a search of this kind and we have no notion just now of speaking of W. L. Douglas in this connection.
 He has caught the public eye by his surprising victory, but he deserves at- tentlon and an audience better by req son of the public account he has given of the causes for his triumph. He says neither in his speeches nor in his liter ature that he distributed did he once mention Imperialism" or Roosevelt. He hammered away on the tariff and trusts that the tariff shelters. His omissions are as significant as what he included. That as shrewd politi- clan as. he has proved himself to be should have decided to ignore the outward expansion of the United States and do this in Massachusetts. the chosen habitat of the anti-imperialists, is fur ther proof of how empty that particu- lar issue was for the Democratic Par ty.
 His omission of any mention of the President is equally significant. Roose- welt was a rock of offense to the South ern people and was equally a rock of offense to the highest and best intel ligences at the North. He neverthe- less as his phenomenal victory shows, took a strong and biting hold upon the imaginations and affections of the great body of his fellow w-countrymen in the North and West. They liked his way of doing things and he brought to his own aid an adroit art as a political manipulator such as few men have ex- hibited In our history. It Is now clear that the Massachusetts Governor elect judged soundly when he passed Roose- of the road.
 The battle-ground actually chosen in the old Bay State and the success achieved there is of profound signif- canoe for the Democratic Party. Why run after Government ownership of railroads. why attack national banks, why upbrald the courts for protecting themselves in the orderly enforcement of their decrees. when we have ready to hand an issue that goes to the root of existing evil conditions and lays bare the crowning iniquity of the Re- publican Party?
 Whatever may come, there is a duty laid upon every Democrat and especial ly Democratic members of Congress to go right ahead with the work of en- Tightening the people upon the oppress- i've evils of the tariff and the trusts. This winter propositions made by a mil nority, still further to be reduced after March 4, next. will be received doubt less with howls of derision among the Republicans; but as these howls are for the booty they are enjoying they can be endured with the sober convic- tion and secret consciousness that the Democracy Is right as to the tariff and must in the end prevail

success.
 Look to your walk. It has more to do with your success or failure than you, perhaps. dream of. Don't slouch. Don't wobble. Don't shuttle. Don't strut. Walk like a man who is deter mined to play a mans part in life, with head erect and feet planted firmly on the ground.
 One may see. on the streets of a city, every day, many people who are walk ing failures. There is not the slightest energy in their movements. There whole bearing gives testimony of their weakness. How do we know that they are failures7 Nothing Is simpler. There is subtle connection between the mind and the body. The mental attitude is reflected in the spontaneous movements of the body, and you can very quickly tell by a mans walk and general bearing whether his mind is alert, his spirit progressive and earn est and his whole being full of life and vigor and determination, or he is a slipshod, lazy, lifeless creature.

The Philadelphia Record wond

The Philadelphia Record wonders what would happen if Prosecuting Attorney like Folk should arise in that city and, like Folk. uncover the vil- lainy that has so long gone on with out any apparent effort to hinder or suppress 1t. From our knowledge of Philadelphia a man of the Folk brand would have a short life in that city. Even If he should not be summarily dealt with his efforts to purify the city would have about as much effect as did those of the old woman who tried to keep back the ocean waves with a broom.

shOemalklns in the Black Forest.

The shoe Retailer.
 The Black Forest of Germany. a re- zion famous for centuries, Is hundreds or years behind the present age in methods of living and conducting sim pie industries. This fact is strikingIy exemplified in the primitive ways the natives follow in making leather and shoes. When a farmer kills his beef he takes the hide to the local tanner, who will keep it for two years before he considers it fit for the shoemaker. When the hide is leather the shoemaker is informed of the fact
 Then some morning the shoemaker comes to the farmers house with his Kit of tools, and for the time being Is one of the family. Every Katrina and every Johann Is marched before him and measured, and the work of making shoes for the family begins It may take month, more or less, but he sticks to his job until everyone is prop- erly shod, when he is away to the next customer needing his services

HH WANTS M PITY

Now that the election is over and there isn't so much to talk about, The Chicago Chronicle is disturbed on &C., count of Judge Parker. Under the heading. Shall We Pity Parker?" it says:
 There are just three reasons why 1t IS impossible to pity him. One is that he does not seem to pity himself. He appears to possess no sensibility to shame and humiliation. Horace Gree Icy under similar circumstances-we peg the pardon of his shade for. the mortified pride and a broken heart Everybody pitied Greeley, but it is i'm possible to pity Parker. because his na- te ture IS not me enough for him to suf-
 As the other two reasons are only used as handle for some more of it's usual abuse and misrepresentation of the Judge there's no need to discuss them. The Chronicle may at some fu- ture time feel satiated with the stvIa Of campaigning it has been so good at ever since it fell into the arms of the Republican party, but we don't know when that time will come. If has kept it up so determinedly and so unscrupulously that it may take 1t some time to get out of the rut. even though it should be able to see and un- derstand that nothing is to be gained by persisting in abuse.
 Our contemporary actually seems surprised that Parker did not go home turn his face to the wall and give uu the ghost, even as Horace Greeley did Greeley was some ten years older than Parker is and the strenuous and excit- ina life he had led made him an old
