The New National Chairman.


 Even our Democratic friends must have been pleased with the report Of the brief remarks made by Mr. George B. Cortelyou to the republican na- tional committee, after his selection az it's chairman was made known.
 The new chairman is an entirely new man in a political sense. He has devoted many years to nard work for the national government, beginning as clerk and closing with the honor Of being the first secretary of commerce and labor. In every capacity Mir. Cor telyou has demonstrated his ability to direct and accomplish. He has guided others and he has not bsen idle himself He may be thus taken as a man of business, for certainly the line of work that has come to him has been of purely business character. New that he is to assume the directOion of Q great political campaign he has en- tered a new fald. Nevertheless f is expected that his labors in this new field will be governed by the same high sense of honor and by the same earnestness which has always govern ed him. He is not a trickster, he is not a politician, he is net a time-server. He is deeply in earnest and he real izes, after close intimacy with tEe af- fairs of the government that it is fer the best interests Of the country that a republican president and a repubn- can administration should be de- manded at the November election. Holding to ;his, he takes up his new and unofficial public duties with the determination to do whatever he con- siders necessary and honorable. And this is what he told the members e the national committee the other day.
 T shall be chairman of this commit tee, for that is what I believe 1 am elected to be.
 T shall accept dictation from no source, but I shaf seek the advice or all, from the youngest member to the oldest in this body. My predecessor
 
 my friend and yours. His friends, too are my friends, and I invite their val uable cooperation in this campaign. President Mckinley was my friend and I was his. and I seek the loyal assist ance in the campaign of every original Mckinley man. President Roosevelt is my friend, and I look confidently to every friend of his for that support, T lr-i,o must seek in this responsible po- sition.
 We thus take it that Chairman Cor telyou has decided that he will do nothing whatever which does net meet with his personal approval and noth- ing that he considers to be wrong. or inimical to either his party or the country. He is to be chairman and upon his own judgment, be it right or wrong. he is willing to rest his reputa- tiCn.

kings shall have crumbled into the dust
Referring to his work for the colored

ADJUSTMENTS.
National Theater.

Robert Downing and company, composed
largely of Washington players, began
short rost-season engagement at the Ma
tional Theater last evening. TIE produc-
lions in the bill were Mona" bright one
act comedy; the arena scene from The
Gladiator" and an ensemble of scenes from
the heroic drama Joan of Arc" Mona
is the work Of Mr.. Glenn Hyatt and suggests
thoughts Of "Pygmalion and Galatea, the
difference being that Mona is painting In
stead Of statue. The painting is disclosed,
surrounded by a massive gold frame, with
the rise of the curtain.
The feature of the play and the engage
ment itself was the debut in this city OF
Miss Minnie Downing, daughter OF MI
Downing. She brought to the role. Mona,
a charm and grace particularly essential 10
the artists conception. Under the hlgn
lights in the big, gold-framed picture, she
made a charming portrait.
Miss Downing Is not new to the stage
having played with he's father in the south
and west
Mr.. Downing Looked quite natural in his
old-time role of the Gladiator and was &C
corded hearty reception. He responded 10
an enthusiastic encore with a neat speech.
The final number on the program was
series of scenes from Joan OF Arc" elab-
orately staged, embodying those given here
last year. The apotheosis scene at the close,
showing the burning at the stake, was a
highly impressive bit of stage realism.
