ORIENTAL CRITIC WAS
THRILLED BY ACTRESS

Only the eastward march of eastern
civilization renders possible the com
ments, in English, Of Japanese critics
on American actresses, and only few
of the latter have had the privilege of
passing under the pen of the oriental.
One, and the first of these is Miss
Lillian Burkhardt, "The Lady Dainty
of Vaudeville, !" who is at the Orpheum
theater this week.

something that looked very much like

certain vaudeville program. Some
body that came before her looked 9

and wore her dress like boy. I've

fathers Of the republic that they would
do this and they erected the senate,
with its continuing membership and in

the constitution contemplated q senate

done so they would have made their
government more democratic. They
would have put the brake upon insid-
ious alliances Of senators with private
proprietors rather than upon the public
democracy Of the house.
Today the house finds itself at dis
advantage because it is held response

Another Rap at the Senate.

n No opportunity to shy brick at the
United States senate is overlooked now
adays, and the chief feature Of the Nc
Kinley day banquet at the Fourth
Ward wigwam last evening was denun-
citation of senators. c. F. Staples Of
the state railroad commission had more
to say than anyone else on the subject,
and knew better than the rest Of them
what he was talking about. Mr.. Staples
did not deal much in personal reminis-
,cences, but it is plain that he got a
good deal of his information last sum-
mer, when he appeared as witness be-
fore the interstate commerce committee
Of the senate. The Minnesota commits
sioner saw at that time the pro-railroad
leaning Of the majority Of senators, but
as he was in Washington at their in
vitation, he kept his peace till a few
hundred miles intervened..g
Last night Mr.. Staples said: 'The
senate of the United States has no more
sympathy with the people and no more
knowledge of their needs than if they

ing, capricious mass, to be feared, but
not to be humored at the expense of
the great commercial interests Of the
country, which take pains to keep their
concrete presence ever near, and never
to be ignored. ..-
It is only on occasions, however, that
senators betray their state Of mind. One
of those occasions was the protracted
hearing held by the senate committee or
the railroad rate bills It was in: at
tending that hearing that Nj. Staples
got his conception of the senate. The
conduct Of that hearing was beautifully
satirized in the recent speech of Presi
dent Stickney, who saw thru all the
subterfuge, and found senators conduct
ing themselves as counsel for the rail
roads, calling favorable witnesses ant
turning their testimony into pro-railroal
| arguments. -sG c+s,E- Fta1 "a. 1s:v !s445

. Another Trust.

The latest development in trust af-
fairs, details of which appear elsewhere
in T h e j o urn al, is the organize
tion of a drug trust, New Jersey cor
poration, the. purpose Of which is the
operation. of a. chain of drug stores
from the Atlantic to the Pacific: The
trade in. the east takes rather q serious
view Of the new combine, and sees in it
possible disruption Of trade. 1t is
doubtful if the thing will work oft 50
seriously, altho if it succeeds as its pro-
meters hope, competition will be
crushed out in many cases. It is well
to remember, however, that in the tea
and coffee trade there have been large
firms with chains of stores in operation
forgyears, yet every corner grocery has
Its tea and coffee for sale and does more
or less business, >. $50 aa.s
The thing is to be viewed then not
SO much as a serious menace to trade,
as an interesting illustration Of the evi-
dent purpose Of trust organizers to
combine every possible line Of trade,
To run over the list Of trusts, one might
thing that everything had already been
taken in by the octopus, but apparent
y there is still room for new combina-
tion and consolidation.
It is to be noted that the combina.
tons that approach nearer to oppres-
sion and operate against the interests
of the people as whole, are those in
which there is opportunity for total or
partial monopoly in the raw material
& The Standard Oil company, mother OF
them all, comes within this category.

that are of wide general use, and the
supply Of which cannot be controlled at

: The Saloon in Chicago.

The relation of the saloon to crime
is an acute subject Of discussion in
Chicago today The city is overrun
with thugs and murderers and perfect
saturnalia Of crime is the chronic con-
dition of the city. How much of this
is due to naturally loose and lawless'
population and how much is traceable
to fostering local influences can scarcely
be accurately determined. But one fea-
ture of the situation which stands out
bold and black Is that Chicago has, in
proportion to population, more saloons
and less saloon revenue than any other
frst-class city in America. The sta
tistics show that New York's saloons
are one in 1853 Of population, Phila-
delphia's one in 800, Boston 8 one in
300, Minneapolis, one in 500, Chica-
go's, one in $50. New York obtains a
revenue Of $1,40o,O00 from 1900 sa-
looms, Chicago, 100000 from 5000 sa-
looms. - '-,a--> a<f'T =
Chicago's saloons are scattered thru
out the city and are the hiding places
! of criminals. Inc ponce force is made
squate to the task Of rounding them up,
and it is proposed to raise and equip
1000 additional policemen To do this
will require, in. round figures, $1,000:
600 annually. It is proposed to load
a part of this additional burden upon
the saloon by raising the license fee
to $1,000 a year. There is strenuous
opposition to this from the liquor inter
est, and the aldermen are beginning tc
be greatly disturbed. They almost

A Plain Case.

The Journal does not propose to
be drawn into a quarrel with its I'M
happy and disgruntled neighbor. It
does not believe that newspaper; contro-
versies with each other are Of very
much interest to the general public, but
having been inquired Of as to the mean
ing Of the almost daily insinuations, in
nuendoes and slanderous remarks in the
editorial columns Of the Tribune direct
ed at The 10 IL IN a l, we simply want
to say that the meaning is that the
Minneapolis Tribune is sorely sensible
of the fact that it is beaten in the race
for newspaper success and is taking
this way of showing it. -
= Some months ago, the Tribune, got
control of the: Minneapolis Times and
squeezed it to DEATH. This was done
upon the theory that with the Times
out of the way, the Tribune would have
monopoly of the local morning and
Sunday field. The immediate entry of
The Journal into the Sunday field
upset entirely, all plans the. Tribune
had made, and has more than dissipated
what it expected to gain from the heavy
expense it incurred in killing off the
Times. This has not been. source OF
joy and satisfaction to the Tribune. II
has been a source of a good deal quite
the opposite. The disposition Of the
public to recognize The Sunday Jour
nal as superior in every respect to the
Sunday Tribune has created state Of
mind in the Tribune office which finds
expression in nasty and persistent
knocking Of T h e Journ a l, not only
in the columns of the Tribune; but
wherever representatives Of that paper
appear. 49,,
T,h Journal has said nothing ant
done nothing to justify the .envious, i'll
natured filings emanating from our..un
fortunate contemporary. It has zsimpl..
persisted in gettin 4 out better paper
and in doing more business; ana tn

The Mayor Of St. Paul.

The republicans Of st. Paul, in cast
ing about for a candidate for mayor,
are inclined, the Pioneer Press thinks,
to take up with a young man. Nearly
every candidate whose name has been
mentioned is under middle age; some
Of them are mere youths. None is
dangerously: addicted to reform and
not one has written book on the
subject Of municipal government. Yet
there are some among them who might
write under extreme provocation.
We regret to see this evidence Of a
slump away from unanin1ity in hold
ing up the hands Of the Hon. Robert A.
Smith. We have always believed in the
Robert A. Smith and have never seen
any reason why st. Paul should look
farther for mayor. A mayor who
is improbable, while the government rs
rotten, seems 50 difficult a scombina-
ton to bring about, and its adjustments
so delicate that, having brought them
about and secured this unique condt-
tion, we cannot see how ST.. Paul can
entertain the thought Of tearing down
what, with so much thought and ira
vail, has been built up. -. -. III
-ss:iTEhhe Pioneer Press evidently ly feels the
seriousness Of the situation, and while
it does not oppose a young man for
mayor, it intimates pretty broadly that
he should beeia young man "with an
old head on his shoulders. :" What Is
this but base and puny compromise,
an effort to preserve the shadow while
parting with the substance of the Rob.
