Opera.

The opera season in New York opened
brilliantly last night, and the big town is
delighted. Mr.. Conreid has in his company
many of the greatest of the worlds great
singers. and has them housed where their
superb voices are heard to the greatest ad-
var tage. Such a luxury comes high, but
New York demands It and is able to in
dulge herself. The season there Is for
fifteen weeks. and then begins a limited
road tour. Last season Washington's part
of the treat was three nights and matt
nee. Why should not this be increased
next spring to a full week, or even two?
There is ample patronage here for stay
Of that length. and several houses well
equipped for that form Of entertainment.
If our amusement season is deficient in
anything 1t is in the line of opera, prop
eriy so-called Light opera-the real thing
has all but disappeared. and we are
much too limited in the matter of grand
opera.

Bryan as Early Bird.

1t is the early bird that catches the worm,
but Mr.. Bryan, although something Of a
bird, should not copy the feathered tribe
too closely. He Is moving with too great
expedition in the matter of 1903. Neither
he nor any other democrat has had time
SUFFICIENT to appraise the results of the Par
ker defeat. The figures are large and un-
precedented. and cali for the most careful
and thorough examination by experts BE-
fore their lesson can be read with profit as
respects the future. They are plain enough
on their face. They show that the people
took no stock in the proposition to turn out
united party decorated with many excel
lent performances. and install a confedera-
ton of factions bound together by rope
OF sand.
This much appears to be a safe prediction.
The confederation of factions. which has
just been rejected at the polls, must give
way to a united democratic party If ever

tertained. In other words, democracy must

cesslve republican Presidents have each in
his own way shown a special sympathetic
interest In the comparatively petty local
concerns, have not disdained to give atten-
tive hearing to petitions, protests or other
expressions of community opinion, and
have often called to the White House for
consultation concerning District offices or
other local affairs representative citizens
all to the end that the wishes of the COM
munity might be ascertained and carefully
considered, even il they could not be grail
fled. Now even these courteous concessions
to the constituencies of the unrepresented
have been apparently curtailed or with
drawn
In proportion as the District has increased
in population and resources, in physical
and intellectual development until it ex-
ceeds one or two of the states, in the same
proportion 1t seems to have grown more
and more negligible as political entity, its
claims to consideration and hearing in
respect to its own affairs have been more
and more contemptuously ignored, and local
offices, about appointments to which even
the territories are consulted and to which
on every principle of equity the local COM
munity is entitled, have been by a species
of political highway robbery seized, appro-
priated and converted to low partisan
uses by national politicians, or have been
tossed to personal favorites in qualification
of the whims of the appointing power.
Both the national and local welfare may
demand that this American state of 100000
people shall not enjoy the self-governing
privileges of a state of the Union. But no
administration of the District affairs on ma
tional lines is wise, just or defensible which

Congressional Representation.

The opponents of just and constitutional
representation in Congress cannot hope to
make any Roadway by misrepresenting
matters. 1t Is question Of the highest i'm
portance. about which the people are at
last concerned. and we are on the eve of a
thorough discussion of tt. Mere blather,
then. and wild-eyed appeals to race preju-
dice will avail nothing.
We were told last spring that the republic
can national convention would not take up
the subject; that the party leaders were
all opposed to It: that, at best, it represent
ed nothing but the nebulous notions Of a
few cranks who had adopted 1t as a means
Of self-advertisement. 1t was true that the
movement had made its way slowly and
against many difficulties. but 1t was now to
be reckoned with, and. brought face to
face with it, the republican leaders gave it
their approval. The expression in the Chi
cago platform was straightforward and en-
phatic.
We are now told that the deliverance was
a campaign trick; that. in some fashion. the
matter will be dropped: that, while there
may be a little discussion of 1t, the main
object will be to save the party's face, and
that nothing of practical nature will
come of 1t. This as one may see, is a
pretty severe arraignment OF the republican
party, and marks the path Of sure damna-
ton If the party by its action makes 1t
good. Trif1ing with such a subject. after
pledging relief and securing tens of thou
sands of votes on the pledge, would be an
act of both folly and perfidy.
1t Is silly or dishonest to describe this
movement as an effort to put the bottom
on top in the south; to recall and re-estab-
lish the endorsements and outrages OF
the reconstruction period: to surround the
polls with armed troops. and, if necessary,
to open the boxes by force to the ballots

been well digested the question of rem

benefit. will come up. and the remedy pro-
vided in the Constitution will, of course,

There will probably be some tall talk in
Congress on both sides. But tall talk, for
tunately for the country. will neither adj
vance nor retard legislation demanded by
just sense of proportion. and a just treat

The Opera.
From the New York Herald.


The opera season of 10O4-5 promises to
reach a higher artistic plane. than ever.
There is no doubt of this, for the fashion
able modistes say they have more orders
from their society patrons for superb gowns
than they received in any previous year,
and that the box tiers will be unusually
brilliant this winter. AS to what will be
the greatest operate performance of the
season there is a difference of opinion. It
seems to be an even choice between silk and
satin. but rose MORE and pailletted chiffon
cut on the bias, with three rows of inser-
ton pinned on the sleeve aud four tucks of
aigrette, hand-embroidered in flounces and
held in place by the tulle veil of the bride 8
shower bouquet, gift from the bridegroom,
seems to have the call. This may not be
an absolutely correct description, but from
hasty glance at the fashion columns and
the opera notes of the day one gets an idea
that something like this will be the greatest
operate performance this season at the
Metropolitan.
How should one dress in box?" That
Is easy in almost any way that is beyond
ones means and in any color that will kill
the costume in the next loge. A woman
who can accomplish that double play Should
go home happy.

A Method.

When 1 used to go to school--that was
long ago,
There was most annoying boy that al
ways seemed to know
What the answer was. whate'er the ques-
ton CHANGED to be.
Never got confused and scared and worried,
same as me.
Whenever the class was catechised, he wore
a smile most bland
And beat us all. he was so quick at holding
up his hand.
And when the teacher called on him. his
memory might balk,
But none the less he went ahead and made
a little talk
The teacher always helped him out, and
never called his bluff.
The interest he showed was such she
couldn't use him rough
And many a man grows powerful an
famous in the land
BY being quick to take the lead, and hold
ing up. his hand.

Sanford testified positively that no negroes were In the store when the shooting began. The first negro who got there was Walter Davis. Neither Henry Richmond nor Jim Albright were present during the shooting.
 The defendant testhhed that he had had trouble with Achors prior to the shooting. He said that on one occa- sion in the presence of Mir. Magruder he was joking with Achers about the woman and Achers said the joke had gone far enough. Sanford said he told him that he and the woman must get out of his house.
 There was objection and argument in which lawyers for Sanford said that he proposed to show that Achers assault ed from behind. threw the old man down and beat him on this occasion.
 Judge Thomas ruled with the So- lictor and exceptions were noted
 The witness testified tbnt he had a lot of second-h hand pistols hanging be- hind his bar counter.
 Sanford Cross Examined.
 Then Solicitor Dent examined the de- fendant.
 Sanford said he did not know where Harry Hammett went when he was pur- sued by Achors. Hammett ran by him and Achors said, T am going to kill the whole - - shooting match" Just as he finished this remark he began shooting toward the bar counter behind which Sanford was standing. Achors fired twice. He said Achors had two S2-calibre pistols, one of which he stole from him, Sanford. He did not know whether Achors had the pistol in his right or left hand when he shot. He said he did not know where the pistol was when Achors picked up the beer glass. He said he kept his eyes on Achors. The engineer, ne said, was at the south end of the bar counter when he struck him with the beer glass. He said he staggered back and grabbed his pistol as he fell. He did not rise again until the fight was over. He fell flat of his back with his head to the north and his feet to the south. Achors got on him and was beating him when the defendant fired. Achors fell across the defendants feet and he crawled out from under him.
 Sanford said that two balls from Achor's pistol lodged in the door back of the bar room. He said he called the attention of Deputy Sheriff Waller to the bullet holes in the door when he went out to his place, in charge of the deputy sherifr.
 Solicitor Dent asked the witness if he did not tell Deputy Sheriff Waller that Achors was holding Maggie Hick- man in front of him and was shooting at him from behind the woman.
 The witness said he did not remem- Der telling this to Deputy Sheriff Wal Ter.
 Sanford Did Not Remember.
 Solicitor Dent asked the witness if he did not testify at the preliminary examInatlon that Achors came into the store abusing Maggie Hickman and she was begging him to turn her loose; that he, Sanford, asked him to let the wo- man alone and that Achors got mad and struck the witness with a beer glass.
 Sanford said he did not remember. He said he had very hazy recollec- tion of the preliminary hearing. He said he had been before a Justice of the Peace twice. He did not remember anything about the testimony.
