Marshal Darrach Lecture

Marshall Darrach of New York, the
noted Shakespeareah reader, gave the
first of a series of recitas at Dobinson
auditorium last night to a good sized
and highly appreciative audience. The
play selected was Twelfth Night one
of the most humorous Of the bard's
creations, and the accomplished reader
brought every character out with Won
derful distinctness. His Sir Toby
Belch with strong cultural tones, his
piping voiced Sir Andrew Aguecheck
and his saucy Maria were all strongly
contrasted, while his ability to bring
out the finer shades of Characterization
showed remarkable power.
The sweetness of Viola and the dig
nitv of Olivia were admirably rendered,
while the grandiose manner of Malvolio
gained many laughs. Mr.. Darrach
has won laurels for several years past
in his profession and on his visit here
last year was the recipient of great
praise for his fine Shakespearean in
terpretations. His next recital at the
same place will be given Thursday, the
play chosen being Hamlet"

EXEMPLARY PUNISHMENT DEMANDED

1T took the committee and the members of the sen.
ate who attending the inquiry off their feet" That
is the concluding in the report Of the bribery
investigation wherein the gobetween made a clean
breast of his part in the purchase of four California
state senator's at the price of $3.50 per senator.
No wonder the revelation took those who heard it
"of their feet" It has the same metaphorca effect
every decent citizen of California II dscloses the
most shocking legislative corruption and the most
shameful official disgrace in the later history of the
state
That conclusion is warranted at this stage of the
inquiry without prejudice against the accused senators
in advance of the judicial trial which they will have
face Personally they still innocent in the sight of
the law But aside from that presumption the story Of
the bargain raises the curtain and exposes public
view condition of legislative rottenness that brings
the blush of shame to the face of every honest Cali
fornan.
Notwithstanding the nonjudicial character of the
senate inquiry no reader of the testimony adduced
doubt for a moment that the truth has been told.
Shocking the story is to every moral sensbility,
1t is convincing the mind of every person who reads
it, Already that story has been flashed every state
in the union. The shame of California is worldwide
topic of conversation today 1t is known to the whole
American people that moral cancer" has been
posed by the knife in the very heart of the
of the Golden state.
California has been confronted before by grave prob
lens. and it never yet has failed prove ultimately
that the state stands for right, Justice honesty and
official cleanliness 1t is incumbent upon the state
to the situation revealed in the senate with de-
of frmness and determination worthy of California
The good name of the state must be cleansed of the
legislative smirch and cleansed with such exemplary
severity that repetition of the spectacle pre-
sented in the senate will be likely to again
EVERY phase of the senatorial scandal should be
brought to light and every person who is cupable in
connection with it should receive the extreme limit of
punishment. Let guilty escape"

AS GROVER CLEVELAND SEES IT

few days former President Cleveland deliv
cred an address in Philadelphia on the occasion of
the semicentennial anniversary of the Young Mems
Christian association of that city In his public adj
dresses Mr.. Cleveland always says something which
his countrymen glad hear read, matter
what the occasion may be- To the Phiadelphians he
talked upon the broad theme of "Christianity" parc-
lary its practical bearing in the affairs of government
Applying the test of Christian virtue to public
affairs, Mr.. Cleveland said: mo stream higher
than its source, and government by the people will
be better than the people make it. If these quail
ties be recognized guides of national
under plan of rule the people command it of
their public servants and they must support their
mand by manifesng in their individual lives and
relationship their thorough submission to such
guidance"
But in fact the American people manifest surprising
Indifference rule, to the conduct of their public
servants Only in of great emergency they
apt to be aroused full realization of the necessity
for making their commands felt advised by Mr.
Cleveland Hence, they often tolerate such msdongs
the part of their public servants, whom they
really have supreme control the people of a
archy would not tamey submit to.
The tendency of the American people at the present
time to seek high place among the great military
powers of the world touched upon by Mr. Cleve-
land in this strain 1T is not worth while to blink at
the fact that, without going very far from home
gain hint that nations called civilized and
Christian liable under strong temptation back
slide to barbaric standards which permit and
slaughter to count for peoples greatness and reckon
ruthless conquest among glorious deeds.'
But the distinguished statesman takes a hopeful
view of the future: There is effective and
preventive against danger that is the sincere
acceptance guidance to national behavior of the
honor, the love of peace, the devotion to justice and
truth the forbearance and involable good faith which
grow out of genuine civilization and Christian spirit"

WE GATHER THEN In

The United States has taken another step in its
policy of quasi paternalism in relation to the minor
American republics. Santo Domingo comes under
the tip of the wing of the American eagle. That be-
little republic has long been in financial hot
water because of its obligations to European creditors
and like Venezuela and nearly all the other South
Central American republics, it has narrowly escaped
drastic measures for the collection of such claims
The Monroe doctrine carries with it tacit obligation
the part of the United States to its influence
in securing the payment of just claims abroad
by the weaker republics Hence, the arrangement just
concluded whereby the United States undertakes to
finance the affairs of Santo Domingo by handling its
customs revenues and applying portion thereof to the
discharge of foreign obligations.
The Dominican Republic, which is the proper title
for the eastern part of the island of Haiti in the West
Indies, came annexation to the United States in
1863 It's president that time signed treaty where
by the republic to become a part of the American
domain, done later in the of Hawaii. Gen.
Grant president of the United States that time
and he extremely anxious that the little republic
should be annexed He signed the treaty and it
to the for ratification. The itch for foreign
rtory had not developed at that time however, and
the senate sat down upon the annexation scheme with
a violent thud
proectorae of the United States comprises the larger
part of the island of Haiti, having of IS O45
square miles and population of about 100000

DELAY C0NFRONTS NEW
BROADWAY LIGHTING DEAL

There are indications that the plan
for lighting Broadway upon which the
council voted favorably last Monday
may yet come to grief Two causes
contribute to this view The passage
of the charter amendments makes it
mandatory upon the council to adver-
tise all contracts amounting to more
than $500. 1t is also held that new
lighting contract must be let.
The discovery that there is $4,000
available in the lighting fund instead
of pointing the way to a solution of the
Broadway lighting plan, appears to
have excited the cupidity of certain
heads of departments in the city hall
A high official remarked yesterday
that money ought to go into the street
department fund at once
1t is said that the lighting company
has agreed to keep its pledge of fur
nishing light at reasonable figure,
notwithstanding the delay of several
weeks that will necessarily be occa-
stoned by advertising. The friends of
the plan say they will continue to ad-
vocate it's adoption earnestly.
Members of the council are discuss
ing the features of the new sprinklng
contract which will go into effect July
first. Under the present contract
Charles Stansbury rents wagons to the
city at $1.69 each and the city pays the
drivers $500 per day. 1t is said that a
new contractor has appeared who pro-
poses to furnish 100 new wagons at
rate that will affect a substantial saw
ing to the city.

OBJECTS TO LOVE MAKING

Park Commissioner Lamb is of the
opinion that the little blind god of love
is entirely too active in Elysian park.
SO sollcitous is the commissioner that
he yesterday made a recommendation
to the other members of the commits
sion that a mounted watchman be
employed in the park to supervise the
actions Of ardent lovers.
A report to the same effect from the
superintendent OF parks is now In the
hands of the finance committee Of
the council.
Residents in the vicinity OF Everett
park have asked that the ground con-
tanned in that reservation be improved.
