Orpheum Theater--

It is not given to every man to have
three wives at the same time, but such
is the proud possession of ADD Eel Ka
der, Algerian artist, who heads the bill
at the Orpheum theater next week,
Add eel Kader was for many years ar
fist to Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey,
is of Berber birth and blood. and re-
ceived his education principally in the
Art Academy of Lyons, France, altho
the schools of Germany and England
contributed literally to hiss knowledge
of the arts and sciences.
Of noble family, loss of fortune COM
pelled him to make practical use of his
artistic ability in Paris, where an
American vaudeville agent saw him.
and persuaded him TO come to this
country, with his three wives and tour
the Orpheum circuit. Add Eel Kader
is one of the most expert rapid land
scape artists ever seen on this side the
Atlantic and two Of his wives, Fatma
brush. while the third wife, Beta, does
pretty paper-tearing act Of the sort
orientals excel in. Partly because of
the real excellence of the offering made
by this unusual quartet, but more be-
cause of the polygamous relations main
| tanned by Kader and his wives, their
presence at the Orpheum promises to
attract more than passing attention.

The Issue Is Not New.

The quarreling among politicians as
to the authorship of the rate issue be-
trays lamentable taste and a no less
lamentable ignorance of history. The
rate issue is not new. 1t was up in the
senate 80 years ago when a committee
of which Senator Window of Mime
sofa was chairman reported: "ln the
matter of taxation there are four men
representing the four great trunk lines
between Chicago and New York who
possess and not infrequently exercise
powers which the congress of the Unit
ed States would not venture to exert.
They may at any time for any reasons
satisfactory to themselves, by a single
stroke of the pen, reduce the value of
property in this country by hundreds of
millions of dollars. An additional
charge of 5 cents bushel upon the
transportation of cereals would have
i been equivalent to a tax of $45, 100000
on the crop Of 1873. No congress would
dare to exercise so vast power except
upon necessity of the most impera-
tive nature, yet these gentlemen exer-
else it whenever it suits their supreme
will and pleasure, without explanation
or apology
The committee went on to say that
the day was not distant when it would
be the duty of statesmen to inquire
whether it was less dangerous to leave
this vast power in private and none
too scrupulous hands, or 'to add some
what to the power and patronage of a
government responsible to the people
and entirely under their control.'' j
The not distant day came in 1887,
when congress passed the interstate
commerce act creating commission
which was expected to keep a watch
over the railroads and see that they
charged only reasonable rates, that they
refrained from determinations between
persons and localities, abandoned re-
bates, and that they gave up the vicious
practice Of suddenly raising or lowering
rates by the means now known as the
y midnight schedule. - The commits
sion was authorized to issue orders tc
the railroads and to take them into
court when they disobeyed. Up to 1897
the commission had considerable con
troll of the situation, but in that yea
lost it all in the decision of the su
preme court that congress had not ex
pressly conferred upon the commission
the authority to prescribe a REASONABLE
rate.
This is the history of the rai1roaj
rate question in brief. 1t indicates tina

Blockading the Streets.

The Duluth News-Tribune warns the
contractors and builders that the streets
Of Duluth do not really belong to them.
They have been acting upon that theory,
apparently, and the people of Duluth
have been crowded off of the sidewalks,
have waded thru the mud, stumbled
over sand heaps and mortar beds,
lodged young lumberyards and walked
in the middle Of the street, with the
possibility of injuring some automobile
or other frail vehicle, till they are tired
of it; and the board of public works
has undertaken to enforce some regu-
lations as to the amount of street the
builder and contractor may be expected
to leave to the use of the public.
The protest Of the cliffdwellers Of
Duluth may well be taken as voicing
public sentiment here in Minneapolis,
where contractors sometimes act as if
they had bought the street and paid for
it, filing it up with bricks, mortar
beds, sand and lumber till the escape
from serious accident is marvel if
not a miracle. -.
The builder must have chance, of
course, to lay his walls at the street
line and reasonable amount Of room
in which to carry on his work, but he
is not entitled to use the street any
longer than is absolutely necessary or
any more of it than cannot be helped
Our authorities can very easily pro,
tect the public from imposition in this
respect and should be required to dc
so. There is lots Of building in pros
| pect for Minneapolis this season an,
this is good time to make a rule thai
the streets still belong to the public
and will not be yielded up any more
than is necessary and right. ~.

Bojou Operahouse-


sE5 Hurtig and Seamon are to present
one of those hilarious and merry pell-
mells. and this time it is Rufus Ras-
tus,' "coon' show, with Ernest Ho-
gan as the particular star. The attrac-
tion will be presented at the Biiou
next week, commencing with a matinee
tomorrow. .s-..
Ernest Hogan's ability as a come
dian, singer and eccentric entertainer is
too well known to requiresspecial com
ment In Rufus Rastus y he is de-
picted as southern "coon,' who
tries to get into trouble in every posi-
BILE way. This offers endless opportuni-
ties for highly. amusing scenes, which
are carried into the extremes and ere
ate sidespHtting laughter. r
In the play Hogan arises from low
type of negro to fashionable "coon''
with some wealth. He makes for the
metropolis, where he becomes a promi-
nent figure in darktown society. At
the. annual Pullman porter ball he is
the leading feature Tt is there he finds
his greatest chance to display his yer,
satility.
/ Negro dances, cake-walks, Jubilee
singers and darkies who do almost any
| kind Of funny stunts, add greatly to
| the attraction, which is beautifully
mounted, deliberately gowned and
tsstaged in magnificent form. The distri
button of handsome souvenirs has be
| come an enjoyable feature Of the
Wednesday matinees.

Leave to Print.

A cheap way of getting reputation
in the house Of representatives is the
"leave to print custom. 1t gives the
representative an opportunity to put in
the overburdened Record things which
the house did not have time to hear him
say. and would not have listened to,
anyway. His constituents are led to
believe that these remarks were deliv
cred by their congressman before
crowded house and galleries were big
eyed with wonder at his eloquence.
Occasionally these speeches are i'm
proved upon. The congressman thinks
Of some right smart things he might
have said, just as James Russell Lowell
used to make his most brilliant after
dinner speeches in the carriage, going
home from the dinner. The congress
man inserts them in the Record and
then there is trouble. ~.
Such an incident occurred in the
house the other day when the Record
showed up with speech by Mr.. Hop
kins Of Kentucky which seriously re-
fected upon Mr.. Goldfogle Of New
York, who moved that it be expunged.
He took the occasion to make some re-
marks about Mr.. Hopkins and among
| other things he said MY. Hopkins came
from district which had II per cent Of
illiteracy. Mr.. Hopkins, however, had
assured him that the . percentage was
less now. Mr.. Hopkins had been
school commissioner Of the state Of
Kentucky and as Mr.. Goldfogle under
stood it the. illiteracy had decreased
since Mr.. Hopkins vacated that office
and came to congress. This remark
tickled the house so highly that good
humor was restored and Mr.. Hopkins
joining in the merriment at his own ex-
pense consented to have his offensive
remarks expunged from the Record.
| The incident serves to illustrate once
more the growing tendency of the house
to machine methods. Leave to print
IS resorted to more and more since it is
the only method by which some mem,
bers may communicate their ideas to
the country. Occasionally the proper.
ties of the privilege are abused as they
appear to have been in this case, but
artificial as it is it cannot be cut of
without reducing nine-tenths of the
members to a state of dumbness.
