At ST. Paul Theaters


Fresh from its record run of twenty
three weeks in Chicago, the musical
comedy, The Royal Chef will make
its bow to the theater- -goers of this
city tonight at the Metropolitan This
merry melange of hilarious harmony
produced by the same cast of come
dianS and singers and the beauty cho-
rus which earned such high praise at
the hands of the press in Chicago and
New York, will be in evidence here.
This latest musical comedy is said to
be brimfull of fun. The costuming is
said to be elaborate.
The Bird Center Cartoons" readily
adapt themselves to dramatization. A
new comedy drama, Bird Center" has
for its basis this series of cartoons and
all of the familiar characters in their
quaint environment have been utilized
by the playwright. The popular un-
dertaker, The garrulous veteran, the
town '4frivoller," who fiirtsrwith all the
girls; the city sport who cuts him out;
the mysterious stranger; the autocratic
social leader who sets all the fashions;
the photographers wife, with lofty
ideals and esthetic views-in fact, all
of the familiar figures in the series Of
cartoons will be seen in the new play
at the Metropolitan the first half Of
next week, commencing Sunday night.
In magnitude "The Pit which will
be given at the Metropolitan opera
house next Thursday night, is said to
surpass anything ever attempted by
William A. Brady. This dramatization
of Frank Norris novel has been pro-
nounced success in New York and Chi
cago. 1t is built upon the same lines as
the book, and is said to be intensely in
teresting to those who have never read
Of or ventured into the whirlpool of
speculation and life on change.
Two large audiences attended the
Grand yesterday afternoon and even
ing to witness The Queen of the High
way" There will be but four more
performances, including a matinee
Saturday at 2:30.
Nat M. Wills will be seen at the
Grand at next Sundays matinee in the
musical comedy, "a Son of Rest" Mr..
Wills, it will be remembered, was the
feature of the Orpheum vaudeville
show that was here the season before
last.
Undoubtedly the best show of the
season is presented by Irwin's ma
jestics" at the Star this week. The olio
is of the best order, including five
women tumblers and Larry Mccall
who are worth the price of admission
alone. Ladies' matinee tomorrow

Afraid of Him

: From the present outlook there
seems to be no probability of an inn
mediate change of tariff schedules,
even if the house of representatives be
Democratic The Republican majority
in the senate can, if it is disposed to
do so, block any changes in the tariff
and housa are elected Manufactures S,
therefore, have little to fear on this
score. But sWhensit comes to the un--
certain actions of a president whose
hobby seems to be to "stir up some-
thing whose dominant idea is 10 ere
ate excitement, not because any coed
will come out of it, but solely because
he will be talked about, the manu-
facturer and the business man gener-
ally may we'll doubt whether Mr..
Roosevelt is the kind of man the Unit
ed States wants at its head.-Balti-

diminished. During the last weeks Of
the campaign the effect of the sober
second thought of the people and the
rising tide in favor of Judge Parker
will settle the state firmly, we believe,
on the Democratic side. If this be SO,
and the prophecy comes not of excited
sentiment but of dispassionate judg-
ment, then there are enough electoral
votes in sight to make Judge Parker
president.
One of the encouraging and convinc-
ing signs of the times is the complete
harmony among Democrats everywhere
and their united determination to win.
This is partly the product of party
loyalty and partly a consequence of
Judge Parkers splendid ability as a
leader and his tact in dealing with
men. We have already likened him in
this respect to President Mckinley, and
he has justified the comparison With
his presence in New York city, diff
culties and disagreements faded out Of
sight Rivalries and jealousies were
ended and each man fell Loyalty and
readily into his proper place. We hear
no more of hair pulling between fac
tions in New York city. We find no
more trouble about campaign managers
or advisers East or West. Sheehan and
McCarren and Hill, German and Tag
CART, are all in line and are working in
perfect and harmonious cooperation.
This union for the party has still
wider scope. Republicans are alarmed
by the announcement that Mr.. Bryan
will take the field in Indiana and Illi-
nois and deliver a series of powerful
speeches to the people in those states
during the remainder of the campaign.
They are equally disappointed by the
announcement made by Mr.. Hearst to
Democratic clubs everywhere, that
port the ticket and place the Demo-
cratic party in power. Whatever diff
ferences have existed in the past are
smoothed away and forgotten. Ma
tional Democracy presents a united
front, with leader in charge who
knows how to lead. This is not cam
paign of defamation, but of carefully
planned, intelligent, earnest work; and
it is going to win.

Among the Merrymakers
aeecher and nthe Roosteru

That Henry Ward Beecher was spared
much embarrassment by his quickness at
repartee is illustrated by the following
story:
one evening, as he was in the midst of
an inpassioned speech, someone attempt
ed to interrupt him by suddenly crow
ing like a rooster. 1t was done to perfec-
tion; number of people laughed in spite
of themselves, and the speakers friends
felt that in a moment the whole effect
of the meeting and of Mr.. Beecher's thrill
ing appeals might be lost. The orator,
however, was equal to the occasion. He
stopped, listened till the Growing ceased,
and then, with a look of surprise, pulled
out his watch.
Morning already" he said: my watch
is only at TO- But there can be no mis-
take about it. The instincts of the lower
animals are infallible.

PARkER,s PROSPECTS

The prediction of T h e Clio b that
Judge Parker would grow in strength
from the moment his letter of accept
ance was set before the people, and
that his cause would gain immeasur
ably by his personal assumption Of
leadership in the campaign, is being
fully verified. From every source
come consenting reports that the cause
Of national Democracy is making
steady but irresistible headway. The
Parker wave is rising fast in the East,
and it will grow in volume and in force
from this until the day of election
This campaign is not to be judged
by others, especially by its two imme-
diate predecessors. In these the whole
country was stirred by the appear
ance of new issues in which every man
felt himself vitally interested, and no
one could tell what the sentiment of
the particular community would be.
Old political associations were thrown
aside, and it was quite possible that
by vigorous campaigning states for
merly Democratic might be carried by
the Republicans and states formerly
Republican might swing heavily into
the Democratic column. Therefore,
there was an air of uncertainty over
the nation. Therefore, every state and
almost every county was good fighting
ground, and activity was limited by no
lines of section and determined by no
previous political affiliation.
This year all is different. The par
ties are lined up against each other, as
they have been for the last thirty
years, with solid wedge of votes sure
ly Republican and another solid wedge
as surely Democratic, the balance of
power being held by the states right
fully termed doubtful. Hence those
living in states reasonably certain to
give either Republican or Democratic
majorities are scarcely aware that a
national campaign is going on. The
fierce fighting is conducted where each
party feels that it has fair chance to
win.
One state has already, we think, been
fairly removed from the doubtful col
umn if ever it should have been placed
there. The best advices from Repub-
lican as well as from Democratic
sources show that Judge Parker will
carry New York. Everybody admits it.
The lack of interest that has been OBJ
served and noted is partly imaginary,
being the result of superficial COM
parison with the intense excitement of
preceding national campaigns, and
partly due to the fact that the public
mind is already fairly settled. You
cannot have a bowling hot campaign
where one side is already beaten, and
the Republicans know that they have
lost New York. Well informed Demo
Gratis claim that the Democratic ma
jority in the state will rise as high as
$4,000. We do not look for such rev.
olution as that, but we do believe that
the New York electoral vote is as safe
for Judge Parker as is that of Mis-
sissippi.
While Indiana is closer, the balance
OF opinion there swings also to the
Democratic side. The state viii be
contested more closely than any other
in the country. The earlier polls show
ed a slight prepondefance in favor OF
the Democrats, and this has not beer

PAYNE AND HIS SUCCESSOR

The kind hearted scribe, following
the old maxim, will wish to say little
concerning Henry c. Payne. He, like
SO many men prominent in public life,
was man OF admirable personal char
acteristics. He was able, he was kind
hearted, he was loyal to his friends.
But he was also a devotee of the evil
political system that believes in IA.
voritism, in inequality, in the building
up of political machines and all the
public evils that these imply. There
fore, on the public side, his life is not
one to call for comment from those
who wish to speak only good of the
dead.
1t is one of the saddest facts in
American public life that so many men
should make this sharp distinction be-
tween public and private morality.
There are thousands of men, not few
of them high in place, honored in Office
and powerful in their parties, who lead
double lives. They have persuaded
themselves that party organization and
party Success require and justify all
kinds of moral compromises For this
they are ready to deny the elementary
rules of conduct; for this they frater-
nize with boodlers and thugs; for this
they permit to pass through their
hands continuous stream of dirty
money; and, although above possible
reach of bribe themselves, manage
political affairs on a basis of wholesale
corruption.
the late postmaster general in this re-
spect applies in double measure to his
official chief Mr.. Payne was required
to do certain things in the postoff1oe
department for the interest and ad-
vantage of the president in this cam
paign. He did them. His reputed sue
cessor can be depended upon to carry
on the same policy with a finer art of
concealment Mr.. Cortelyou has given
US a taste Of his quality already at the
head of the department of commerce.
Well has he aided and abetted the
president in the policy of addition, di-
vision and silence
Under his auspices the misleading
report on wages and cost OF living was
issued at government expense as
campaign document. Under him sta
tistics relating to the operation of the
beef trust and various railroad sys-
TENS have been gathered, and are be-
ing held as club over the heads of
rich and influential men. From Repub-
lican news sources the people were ad-
vised within a day or two that Mr..
Cortelyou and the president are dehat-
ing what figures to give out and what
to withhold. The announcement is
hardly less than disgraceful. The in
formation belongs to the public. If it
is of such character that legal pro-
ceedings against the trusts will be
jeopardized by its publication, then let
legal proceedings begin.
The fact that nothing is done except
to kill information that could be used
to force influential men and capitalists
into line, to make them supporters of
the administration as the price of their
immunity from prosecution, is plain
and notorious. If Mr.. Corteiyou is, the
man for this job, as he seems to be,
he is also the man for the Job turned
over to the late Mr.. Payne. We may

Potatoes and Potash,

Here are two hills Of potatoes,
the difference in development Of the
plants and also in the product Of the
yield Of tubers. A number of expert
mental plots were laid out. Three
rows, each one rod long and 3-3 feet
apart, were planted with potatoes Of
the White Star variety. Plot No. re-
ceived no fertilizer of any kind. Plot
No. 8 had an application Of kainit and
acid phosphate. The illustrG ton is
taken from the West Virginia Expert
mental Station, Bulletin No. 20.
Now for the results, The potatoes
produced by the three rows Of plot No.
5 weighed q pounds, and the plants
and the potatoes are represented on
the left side of the picture. The pota-
toes produced by the three rows Of plot
No. weighed 55.8 pounds, and the
plants and the potatoes are shown on
the right-hand side. The increased
yield due to the use of kainit and acid
phosphate was reckoned to be at the
rate Of 161 1-3 bushels per acre.
