POLITICS IN THREE STATES, q

In three States of the Union there
were three Incidents recorded on We'd
Besday that have in whole or part q Diet
cided bearing gu American politics and
tender oies Of the Republican stripe.
In the West Republican United
States Senator, the choice of bis party
10 the Sta Re Of Kansas, prominent and
influential in politics from the White
House do an, was convicted in the
United States court of bribery and cor
rnption in general, and sentenced to
ray p heavy fine and undergo pro-
lolged imprisonment in the county
jail at Ironton, Mo. Worse than this for
the practical and acute Republican
politician and boss, the judge imposed
Is part of the sentence that the late
United State Senator Burton should
be ''forever incapactitated frem hold
ing,aDY office of honor, trust or profit
under the Government Of the Unite d
States - This implies heavy punish
meut- The pardoning power hardly
applies and there is no statute of limi- |
tations to bar the sentence as in Penn
sylvania or the District Of Columbia.
While this was going on in The West
in Republican circles, in the State Of
VEST Virginia murder and violence
held sway. I. Two prominent sand lead
ing citizens, active in politics as the out
cone of a political or factional feud in
contest for the organization ola Re-
publican candidate for governor of the
State, engaged in bloody violence and
both were killed at the doors of the con
vention hall. |
One was a chief of police and the 9th
er merchant and banker. The dep
uty sheriffs of the country have been
e'dered to take the field TO restrain or
prevent further crime.
And on the same day and at about
the same time that justice was reaping
its fruits in the punishment and dis
grace of a Republican United States
senator and murder was holding high
carnival among the Republicans of
West Virginia the great state of Penn
sylvania came to the front with its re-
c ,rd of sRepublcsn crimes ond mis-
deeds in the Quay State convention in
session OF Harrisburg. 1t was not at
tended by violence and murder 30 in
vast Virginia, or with the exposure
aud punishment of hTitery and corrup

sense and having regard for the vel

THE TICKET AND PLATFORM.

The crowded state of the columns of TIE OASIS on account of the in teresting proceedings in the dis trict court now in session at No- gales, renders it impossible to pre- sent more than passing mention of the result of the Republican Ma tional Convention, held in Chicago this week.
 The nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency sprang from popular demand and the convention simply registered an already pronounced edict of the people.
 The selection of Charles W. Fair bank of Indiana for the vice presi dential nomination meets with a general and earnest approval. The gentleman ranks high in the cate gory of American statesmen.
 The platform is clear cut decla- ration of Republican principles, and, we believe, meets the views of majority of the American people. In one particular it is remarkable: In it's complete and utter silence with regard to statehood for the territories. At this time and dis tance it would seem as though the Arizona delegation had succeeded in heading off a proposed endorse ment of the joint statehood bill, but could not secure endorsement of single statehood It is just as though the Republican Party had suspended judgment upon the ques- tion of statehood to await Arizona's attitude in the coming election. If she shows herself safe and sane" ito quote the shibboleth of the Cleveland Hll- Parker Olney dem- ocracy-by electing a sound Re- publican to Congress in November, the joint statehood bill which has passed the House, will be substitut- ed by single statehood bill if the territory persists in going demo- cratic, then it will be joint state hood or nothing-even should a miracle happen and Cleveland, Par ker or Olney be elected to the pres idency: for the people of Arizona should remember that to the safe and sane democracy" Mark Smiih and J. Frank Wilson in the United . States Senate would be as odious as would be Bryan in the executive.

The Yankee Consul.

There appears to be a most pleas
ing unanimity of opinion on the
part of the dramatic writer's of the
metropolitan press as to the empha-
tic success scored by Henry w.
Savage's latest musical production
"The Yankee Consul, introducing
Mr.. Raymond Hitchcock as a new
comic opera star. Which was pre-
sented for the first time in New
York at the Broadway Theatre on
Washington's Birthday. Seldom
has such praise been lavished on a
new star or or a new musical play
in that city. Indications all point
to the conclusion that Raymond
Hitchcock in "The Yankee Con-
sui" is the one big musical hit of the
season in the metropolis and that
the Broadway Theatre has added
another to its list of big musical
successes. Acton Davies, the critic
of The Evening Sun, in the course
of a review of the performance said:
Its a long, long time since the
playgoers have come away from a
musical show of American manu-
facture in as satisfied and enlight-
ened a frame of mind as the two big
audiences which saw the first per-
formances of "The Yankee Consul"
Washington's Birthday. This new
comedy by Alfred G. Robyn and
Henry M. Blossoms Jr., is a bustl-
ing, bristling, success-one Of those
hits which you'can sit through three
or four times and still enjoy
thoroughly. AS for the new star,
Mr.. Raymond Hitchcock, his sue
cess is was unequivocal, emphatic.
His conception of Abijah Booz, the
Yankee Consul of Puerto Porta,
San Domingo, was a droll and orig
inal creation. His work had a
drollery which carried all before it.
No American comedian has scored
such a hit as this in years. Mr..
Robyn's music is delightful, full of
color end melody, as catchy as the
measels. In short ''The Yankee
Consul" has success written all over
it. 1t will live long and prosper
as it deserves to do, while in the
stellar advent of Raymond Hitch
cock, the theatrical armament is
the richer by ore real star. Mr

PROCT0R'S

Horse will take the precedence
over man at Proctor's Twenty-third
Street Theatre next week, in a novel
speciality presented by Riccobono
and his troupe of four trained
horses. The principal appeal Is
made with a brief pantomine exhi-
biting the famous "good-nights
horse, which disrobes. extinguishes
the bedroom light, and retires Ia
his co..ch carefully tucks the blanket
about his shoulders. The difficulty
attending the training of a horse to
do such an act is attested by the
failure of imitators to accomplish
similar results. Numerous other
smart tricks will be shown, none Of
which are associated with the old
style of equine paradox.
ARIZONA" which enjoyed such
popularity during its long run at
the Herald Square Theatre, will be
seen again next week at Proctor's
Fifty-eighth Street Theatre. The
excellence of the original productitn
has been maintained, and the piece
will be interpreted by a strong cast
of characters, including a number
of favorite actors. "Arizona'' was
one of the strongest hits of Angus
tus Thomas series of State plays.
and its tremendous popularity IN
all parts of the country attest its
direct appeal to all classes of thea
tre-goes.

which attracted such great attenA

HE WASN'T TO BLAME.
Certainly NOtI He Was ms Innocent
of WrOng-DOing as q Little
Baby.

An omnibus was going along a crowd
ed thoroughfare, with an immense rail-
way van travelling by it's side, but just
a little in its rear. AS they passed q
certain street out shot a dogcart at full
speed, driven by a young gentleman
dressed to extremity. with button-hole
and eye-glass, and with his coachman
sitting beside him with folded arms,
and that contemptuous indifference in
his face with which the professional ever
regards the performances of the ANA
teur. The driver of the omnibus pulled
up short and the dog cart dashed across
it, only to meet the full force of the van,
which went through it as though it had
been a boxful of matches, says London
Tit-Bits.
The youthful parsonage on top of 1t,
with his coachman, was, of course,
thrown out, but otherwise not seriously
damaged.
Then came the inevitable policeman,
and the question whose fault it was.
The omnibus driver who had seer it
all. was appealed to by all parties.
WAS it my fault" inquired the young
gentleman.
your fault! Well, certainly not"
growled the philosopher.
Then whose fault was it?" continued
the youth, greatly pleased, and naturally
expecting the van man to be denounced.

"But how could hat be? lie was do

why, just because he was doin' moth
