GRAND Opera in Kansas civ

The supreme event Of the musical
season not only for Kansas City, but
for the cities near it is the coming of
the metropolitan opera company
Last season the Coiried singers
appeared in Kansas City's Convention
Hall in three performances. This
year, on their second transcontinental
tour there are to be two performances
OF grand opera offered in Convention
Hall the afternoon and evening Of
April 18th. AT the matinee Wagner's
ever popular "Lc hengrIn" will be
sung by a fine cast headed by Heinrich
Knote, the famous German tenor, and
Nine. Rappold who has taken her
place among the best Of Wagnerlau
sopranos. There will be an ensemble
of three hundred people, and the
beautiful score will be played by the
entire orchestra Of sixty.fve from the
Metropolitan opera house. In the
evening, ''Marta'' will be sung. 1t
has been many years since Flotow's
tuneful work has been given In Kansas
City and it has never been offered
with such a fine cast. The four
principal roles will be sung by
Marcella Sembrich, soprano; Enrioo
Caruso, tenor; Louise Homer,
c~ontralto and Pol Plancon, basso. A
finer quartette than this could not be
assembled.
The gen eral scale OF seats for each
performance of grand opera opens
Thursday, April 9Th at the music store
OF j. W. Jenkins Sons in Kansas CITY.
The prices are extremely low,
ranging from 81 to SS-a marked
concession for Kansas City, for in
Chicago, and San Francisco seats are
selling at from S. to o.. Particular
attention is being given to mail orders,
and a large representation is expected
from outside of Kansas City. The
railroads have all made special rates
for the grand opera season, and some
Of them will run special trains.

Is White a PaiIurep

"Witte; A Great Man Facing
Failure" by Perceval GibbLn in
McClure's for April is a paper for
every person who pretends to keep
pace with use progress Of events.
Mr.. Gibbon throws new light on this
great, melancholy struggler. Witte is
a failure, he says, and he knows
White. he has seen q great deal OF
HIM dnriDg these months of revolution
and intrigue since he returned from
the greatest diplomatic victory OF
modern times, at Portsmouth.
Gibbons assertion is daring, and
although you may be inclined to doubt
its justice, you are likely to surrender
before you have finished, for he
IS writing from the inside, and
these facts, which have not
been before published are convincing,
He takes you into Whites quarters in
the Winter Palace; you see him before
the deputation Of working men; you
understand his dangerous footing on
the narrow ledge between the people
and the BeauroCrats; you grasp the
handicap Of ill-health, at this time
when most Of all he needs his physical
resources you end by agreeing that
the chances Of his success are indeed
small. 'Big and gross and bony,''
says GibSon, 'he IS a strong mar and
a great one; and here he is-at bis
finish, The personal description Of
Count Witte is quite the most intimate
and striking that has ever beer
published. One would think thai
everything of interest had been writer
about this strange mans life, but ever
in sketching his career Mr.. Gibbor
has something new to say. II hal
long been the popular impression that
this greatest Of Russians Is Of slowl,
origin. This article pricks tina
bubble. 1t gives Whites geneolog,
connected with several Of the creates
houses Of Russia. Altogether this i
a great and a timely article. It haI
something new to say, and it says !
plainly.

Higginsville Jedersonian:
About three months ago an article
appeared in this paper under the
above caption. In that statement l
said l was a candidate for clerk Of the
circuit court for this county, subject
to the action of the democratic primary
election. The primary election will
be held tomorrow l have visited all
the towns and stations along the
railroads in the county from ~ to
half a dozen times and have gone to
practically all the public sales, 1t
has been impossible to get out in the
country and see the farmers on
account of the muddy roads. / have
''done my BEST" and that is all a
mule could do. Many hundreds
people in this county have not been
seen by any of the candidates.
In this last appeal l want to ask
that the readers of the Jeffersonian
and their friends come to the polls and
give me their support. 1t is the first
time / have ever asked for office. |
have worked for the party in this
county for twenty years in the capacity
| now occupy. My work has been
continuous. l belong to the class OF
democrats who never sleep. From
the beginning to the close Of the year
| have urged democrats to duty. In
every issue of the paper | have given
warning Of the eDcroachment of the
opposition. l have made a good fight
and asked that the democrats OF the
county give me their vote for the office
OF circuit clerk. l feel that it is
looming" J. do not claim that the
party owes me anything. l have only
done my duty. If am nominated 1
will be elected in November. l will
never quit work, but will keep busy
for the whole ticket as l have always
done IN the past. / will greatly
appreciate the vote OF the democrats
o. the county in this my highest
ambition. Vote for me and you
will never have cause to regret
it. ]. g. Coz.

Now that the president has yielded
the court review proposition it hardly
seems necessary for even a few Of the
senators to so through the form Of
opposing the modified Hepburn bill.
The only change effected by the
measure as modified with the presi-
dents appreciation is that under the
new law when passed the commission
will fix the rate upon complaint, to
be set aside by injunction and re-
viewed by the federal court, whereas
under the present law the commission
may complain Of an existing rate and
have it passed upon by the federal
court; and If the rate is found excess
sive the commission may order the
railroad to reduce it. But tine
president has gotten a vast amount
Of advertising out Of the thing
and nobody is harmed any more
than by his bold threat Of tariff re-
duction a few years ago.

no more fear is to be entertained Of
China when that country becomes
acquainted with western ways than

By a special arrangement made In
advance Of the strike the Waverly
Coal Company has agreed to meet the
terms of the striking coal miners in
order to supply the state peuitentiaIy
and other state institutions. The
state is to paw an advanced price for
it's coal so that the operators will lose
nothing by the advance Of wages.

The prospect of a peaceful settle
mentl Of the differences between the
miners and the operators is bright.
Organized labor and organized capital
both have more discretion than they
once had, and they both have remedies
which they did not have years ago.
by organization all Increases IN wages
can be charged up to consumers, SO
that operators no longer have motive
for beating down wages. There is
little prospect for the consumers ever
to have their inning.

In Minnesota agitation is in

The difficulty in the way seems to be

1t is said that Secretary Root, after

has decided to abandon effort to
secure a reciprocity treaty with
Canada. OF all the hypocritical
protenses ever put on for campaign

in force after more than twenty

miserable one with Cuba in which we
