MAN BEHIND THE SCENES.
HIS Important Part IN the Success of
a Theatrical Production.

Kin1ing somewhere says that the only thing
which makes life endurabe to the civil service
men in India is that each one feels sure that If
his particuIar post was not filed by him in per-
son the whole government of India would go to
smash Some such feeling may be supposed to
exist in the breasts of those scores Of artists
and worknen, scenic painters property men,
costume designers and what not, who get none
of the glory for theatrical success, but who
are In reality so much part of it nowadays, in
this era of productions and scenic truth and
rnagnificence. Think for instance, how much
depends (no pun is intended) on the men who
manipulate the wires in Peter Pam" while
Maude Adams and the children fly about the
chamber, and then out, through the side of the
house TO Never, Never. Never Land! One Of
these men at least, has hitched his wire TO a
star-and that is something Emerson would ap
prove If all these men behind the scenes"
were not filed with devotion to their tasks
surely there would he more accidents Of one sort
or another, and the manipulation Of big pro-
duction would be impossible
In preparing for the production of "Monna
Wanna" at the Manhattan Theatre, Harrison

that America never produced so daring and

the back end of the store and whine.
Because we do not carry forty thou
sand dollar stock, it is false to think
we have no place because we carry
only ten thousand dollar one. There
are opportunities for us all to win the
plize, and reach the goal of our exis.
tence. Everything is not within the
control of Peter the Great. or Lorenzo
the magnificent. 1t is sometimes as
tonishing to find that the world q
greatest hero is banished to the isle of
st. Helena, while the plodding. pa
tient faithful soldier stands before
kings and princes.
Average commonplace talents add
more to the general welfare OF the
race than the intermittent, occasional
genius whose name is emblazoned
upon the pages of history. and whose
praise il heralded to the uttermost
parts of the earth.
Commonplace ability. united with
moral qualities and perseverance, will
rise into a power of the first order,
and achieve victories that will out
match the hero of greatest fame, and
will comprise one of the most poten-
tial factors of our civilization.

NOT KNOCKING.

The newspaper is the public senti-
ment spoken. But the sentiment has
to be spoken many times before it is
needed. News comes from we'll nigh
every county seat in the state of some
public improvement But where is
Bottineau with its cement side walks,
its water works, and sewerage system ?
If other towns with less advantages
are in line for these improvements,
what of us?
Municipal ownership is no longer
an experiment, barring the way to
such enterprises. The safety and
economy of these improvements are no
longer doubtful questions in the minds
of the people. These improvements
are the only winning qualities for a
community. A town as old as this
ought to have made move in this
direction. It is needless to 20 into
argument upon this matter. The peo-
PIE are sufficiently informed upon these
questions, and are without any need of
conviction. ~. -
Other communities are meeting the
running expenses of its water and gas
plants, with cement sidewalks" and a
sewerage system upon their hands by
the revenue received from these public
needs, and the deficiencies are met by
taxation of only II mills. Of course
no one expects these improvements all
at one and the same time; neither
can they be had without incurring
debt But nothing venture, nothing
have. No man is richer without some
body becoming poorer. Very few men
get ahead without plunging into debt

ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND CANDLES

6IcS 0lS Is1t1 = AV~O SANOI6o
Don't t be disgruntled because you
belong to the commonplace - because
you cannot be an electric light, don t
refuse to shine as tallow candle.
The most ordinary man is of service
to the social and religious life of the
community. It is not the officer, but
the thousand and one ordinary men
upon the field by whom the battle is
won-the men who with ordinary mus
Gle strike at the right time and in the
right place. We cannot all be ten
talent men though some of us have a
sneaking desire to be. There must
be some ten-cent men, or otherwise
none could be bought. We cannot all
be statesmen like Garibaldi Lincoln
or Gladstone; we cannot all expect to
eclipse scientists like Newton, Darwin
or Spencer; or inventors like Watt Or
Morse, but we can be contributors to
the common fund of civilization and
the advancement Of the human race.

ORGANIZE THOROUGHLY.

The operators strike promises to
go the way of the Chicago teamster' s
strike.
There is no question but what or
ganized labor is the only means with
which to compete with organized cap
ital, and out of both conditions a
concilatory policy may be established
if rightly managed. But the opera
tor 8 strike, like the teamster's strike,
according to present indications is not
rightly managed, there is deficiency
somewhere.
A strike usually is for the purpose
of tying up, or blockading business,
so that the demands may be met or a
satisfactory agreement result there
from. When this fails the strike
fails. We do not understand why
railroad men organize in loose -jointed
way. 1t seems to many, that if the
union of the railroad men as a whole
were complete, that action on the part
of the men in any branch would be
eAectual almost at any time. In the
present case, trains are running
neatly on scheduled time; the other
branches of railroad men are work
ing; and as long as these things are
possible, we can not see the use of
strike. If the engineers, brakemen.
conductors, operators, and agents etc. i,
were combined, then their grievances
would be short lived; the inconveni-
ence to the public of very little con-
Germ; and failure, which is always q
calamity, on the part Of the laboring
man averted.

LESS HYPOCRISY.

who have pulled out their little Jack
knives to take slash at j. D. Rookie
feller, all of which is like unto the
little dog baying at the moon.
How few have stopped to consider
how unfair and foolish much of their
criticism and comparisons of this man
has really been. One would think
that Rockefeller was the only million
aire in America, and the only man
that had gotten his money by foul in
stead of fair means But what of all
these others, VINO have robbed the pub
lie just as outrageously by their steel
and iron; wheat and coal trusts ?
These are severely let alone. But
this man because of his unprecedented
liberality which has brought him pro-
minently before the public eye, is
everywhere anathamized, whilst the
many others who never did anything
benevolently to attract attention, are
silently ignored.
How many have regarded his elabor
ate gifts as a kind of "Peter's pence,
or conscience money p There is a
saying-"That it is better to have
loved and lost, than never to have
loved at all " But we say with regard
to Rockefeller that it were better to
have made and gave. than to have
made and never gave at all.
Very few have stopped to consider
thls man seriously, it is kind of a
mob judgement that has been passed
upon him, and such a judgement
strikes a popular chord, now to be
caught up hurridly and converted into
ridicule, or again to be manufactured
into jokes and puns.
How hypocritical, and novellike
the cry of ''tainted money, when as
a matter of fact, all money may be
more or less "tainted''. There is no
authority in the land that may be con-
stituted that would be competent to sit
in judgement upon anybody's money
to say this is tainted, and this is not.
Supposing the churhes appoint some
authoritive body to 60 through the
collections upon the Sabbath, to reject
whatever "tainted' money there be
within the offering. Where would
they begin How would they proceed ?
How absurd the situation would
be, "Tainted money! How hypo-
critical the plea!
Now we would not like to be mis-.
understood upon this question. We
pause to point out what cant and hum
bug, may be passed off as philosophy
in the consideration of a serious ques-
tion. We are not sanctio ming illigi-
innate methods in business, but we
believe the American people love fair
play and should manifest it in the dis
tribution of their wrath, and in their
putting the blame where it belongs.
