Political Power sud the People.

We hear much of many wonders OF
combination and concentration which
the railway and the telegraph have
wrought. But nothing is said, writes
David Graham Phillips, in Success
Magazine, about what seems to me the
greatest wonder Of them all-how these
forces have resulted in the concentra-
ton of the political power Of upward OF
12,000,00O of our 100000 voters; how
the few can impose their ideas and their
will upon widening circles, out and out,
until all are included. The people are
scattered; the powers confer, man to
man, day by day. The people are d.
vided by partisan and other prejudices;
the powers are bound together by self
interest. The people must accept such
organizations as are provided for them;
the powers pay for and their agents
make and direct those organizations.
The people are poor; the powers are
rich. The people have not even offices
to bestow; the powers have Offices to
give, and material and social advance
ment, all that the vanity and the appe-
tite of men crave. The people punish
but feebly-usually the wrong persons
and soon forget; the powers destroy
those who oppose them, and forgive
only after the offender has surrendered
unconditionally, and they never forget

International Marriages.

This 'hands-across-t he-sea' business"
said an Englishman who was discussing
q recent international marriage. rs all
very well, but did you ever look at the
other side OF III Among the rich mer-
camille class OF England-which Is. after
all Is said and done. the most powerful
class In the kingdom-these information
al marriages, far from promoting good
feeling between the two nations, have
a most irritating tendency. In the old
days an impoverished nobleman looked
Tor bride among the rich city people;
that is, the bankers. great merchants.
the aldermen crowd. and such. Take
down your 'peerage' and see how many
noble families draw their blood from
the city The city is still there, with
daughters as fair and as we'll endowed as
ever, but the nobleman who comes to
give what, to an Englishman, is the sum-
NIT of all earthly ambitions, an alliance
with q noble family. is wanting In the
combination. Nowadays he comes to
America for his bride instead OF going TO
the city He takes his consort from the
same class as he did in bygone years, but
he takes her from America. This natur-
ally gives rise to feeling Of bitterness
toward America among matchmaking
mammas and ambitious papas and en-
genders no kindly feeling among the neg
lected maidens who have to marry In
their own class Of 'tradesmen.' Also,
there are wealthy mobiles Of the newer
sort who are anxiously awaiting to ally
themselves through daughters mar
riage with some older house. These, too
are apt to be disappointed, and the
Americanization Of the house OF lords
isa thing which, can tell you, Is not con-
sidered a joking matter In London.
These international marriages are not
good for either country. In the first
place they engender international Ill
feeling. Secondly, they make wider the
gulf which divides in England the mer-
chant class from the nobility by lessen
ing their point of contact as 1t were.
Thirdly, they not only take millions
from your own country to polish up the
handles of the big front doors OF our no
bility, but also encourage the younger
members of the nobility in idleness, the
last hope of an American heiress' al
ways remaining to them to patch up their
misspent lives. The law should be as It
was among the ancient Romans. who con-
sidered an international marriage as
crime"

Bit of Fiction.

There's pleasing little bit of fiction
going the rounds of the press that res
taurants are provided with specially
made knives for the use Of one-armed
people," remarked a local restaura-
teur who, according to the Post, has
been catering to Chicagoans for two
score years. This knife, according to
the writers, is sickle-shaped, so that the
blade will cut by rolling, sweep mo-
ton. On the end Of the blade are fork
tines. II there is restaurant in Chi
cago that has 9 knife for one-armed
patron have not been able to locate II.
Perhaps in New York they have these
things. Also it may be that In some
cafe a regular patron who. unfortunate
ly, has only one arm, has provided his
own knife. We do things differently in
our restaurants-the obliging waitress
s. instructed TO be solicitous Of the well
fare OF the one-armed patron and to cut
mp his meat so that he may use his fork. :"

THE DRAMA AT ROOSEVELT
The First Play Received With Wide Open Arms.

Roosevelt Ariz., Nov. 23.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- The comedy company which was to present Miss Hursey From Jersey at the Roosevelt opera house on We'd nesday evening, was compelled, by the accident to the stage which brought them from Mesa, to postpone the per formance until Thursday evening. In anticipation of the coming of theatTi- cal troops to Roosevelt a stage has been added to Bakers hall. This is the first play ever given in this part of the country by a travelling com pany, and consequently was well att tended although the rates of admis- sion were somewhat hign. Thursday evenings performance was so success full that the company decided to re- peat the play on Friday night. They left on Saturday for Phoenix.
 The company had such a strenuous trip up from Mesa that it is feared other troops will not be easily per suaded to come to this place.
 Those who were nere last winter say that the last week has been a repetition of the same week in No
