with a bill that while not out of the or

late road show, remarkably good. "As

etropoIItan-"An American Citizen"
Pure, sparkling American comedy is
the Ferris stock company's Offering for
the second week of its summer season
at the Metropolitan theater In .An
American Citizen Manager Ferris made
a wise selection, and two large audiences
yesterday gave enthusiastic approval Of
his wisdom and went away saying most
pleasant things about Madeline Lucette
Ryley, the author, Nat Goodwin, who
made the play famous, and the Ferris
players, who are giving such an enjoy
able and well balanced interpretation OF
the clever comedy.
Heart interest Is predominant in "An
American Citizen The love motif is
strong in its appeal and is sustained
from the opening scene to the last cur
tain. That "al1 the world loves a lover
is fully demonstrated by the general SYM
pathy that goes out to Beresford Cruger,
who is an ideal American lover, and to
Beatrice Carew, his niece and wife. This
is partly due to the characters entire
Inaturalness.
But love Is not the only thing in IAN
American Citizen" There are several
| real men and women who are not in love,
altho some of them pretend to be. There
Is the defaulting, avaricious Brown, the
talkative Garcia Chaplin and many 9TH
ers who have their share in the inter-
esting story of the American who mar
| ries an English girl to getsa legacy with
which to pay Indebtedness Of others, and
who falls In love with his wife while she
Is doing the same with him There is
subtle American humor, and some that is
not 50 subtle but 1t alls rings true. and
contrasted with the real pathos which is
not lacking, makes really human and
i thoroly enjoyable entertainment.

Boston, June 11.-Over the heads of a
multitude which began to gather at
daybreak and which filed the streets
leading to the magnificent temple, a
Christian Science church, there pealed
from the chimes first hymn of
Thanksgiving at am. yesterday. It
was dedication day and Christian Scien-
lists from all quarters of the globe were
present to participate in the occasion.
A solemn hush fell upon the multi
tude as the bells sounded. The wor-
shippers then took up the music of the
chimes and 5000 voices chanted low the
solemn chorus Of thanksgiving for the
100000 temple of Mother church. Il
was estimated that nearly 10000 be-
levers had reached Boston. Word was
conveyed to them that the temple
would open its doors absolutely free Of
debt, every penny of the 100000 re-
quired to build the imposing edifice in
the Back bay district having been Sc
cured by voluntary subscription.
The seating capacity of the temple is
5000 and in order that all might partic-
ipate in the dedication six services
| identical in character were held during
the morning, afternoon and evening.

The Commoner's Sore Thumb,

It will take the Commoner some time
to recover from the fact that the Chi
cago platform Of 1896 was not accepted
by the people. That it was rejected,
the Commoner will continue to attribute
to the systematic fooling Of the people.
How otherwise can you account for the
rejection Of a platform which declared
that "selfsh interests were at work in
the affairs Of our government, and that
the purpose of these selfish interests
was to exploit this great nation for the
benefit Of a coterie of men, and at the
expense Of the mass of the people. :"
Were not selfish interests at work and
then could platform which contained
such warning be rejected unless the
people were deceived9
There is one way to account for it
which no doubt the Commoner will re-
ject. The people read the democratic
platform, and looking around, they
asked: "Now, who does this platform
hit7 1t, hits the tariffites no doubt
it hits the ship subsidy men unquestion.
ably, but hold on, does it not hit the
silver people just as hard as anybody
else9 Are they not a selfish eoterie
striving earnestly to exploit this great
nation for their own benefit? They
have silver mines and they demand that
the government take the whole product
and coin it into money at an agreed
11non ratio with Uold This ratio wi1
result in doubling the value Of silver
It will make every dollars worth Of
silver dug worth two dollars. The
common people will take this silver il
exchange for their labor, and at home
1t will not make 50 much difference
since we shall all be using silver, but
when we buy or sell anything abroad
the buyer will get half as much for hi
silver money outside Of the country a
he gets inside; the seller will part will
his product for just half what he think
It is worth at home.'
This, was the Chicago platform an,
the people looking at it and at tn
warning against exploiters took tn
hint. The Chicago platform was re
iected in 1896. It was rejected agai
in 1900; it was abandoned in 1904.
II If the Commoner thinks it is foolin
anybody by holding up this platforr
as a model Of political wisdom, whic
would have become our guide in &C
ministrative policy if the people had no
been g deceived, = It is deceiying itsel1

England s Education.

The English education bill, which. has
proceeded to Its second reading with a
majority Of 206 back of it, seems des-
tined to become law and to be the first
fruits of the tremendous liberal major
ity in the. last election. ~
It overthrows the education bill of
Mr.. Balfour's government, which was
step. in the direction of church schools,
and swings further toward. purely sec
ular school than Great Britain has vet
gone. Up to the time of the passage
of the Balfour bill the primary educa-
tion Of the country was in mess, part
Of it conducted by: so-ealled board
schools and part by religious denomina-
tions. The Balfour act undertook to
simplify the fiscal arrangements and to
eliminate some of the confusion in the
primary school system. Unfortunately,
in doing this, Mr.. Balfour yielded too
much to the established church. It
obtained, thru its control of the school
boards, the power to impose religious
instruction upon children of noncon-
formist parents. The nonconformists
rebelled and overthrew the tories at
the election. The problem Of the lib
eral minister was not solved thereby.
If it was unfair to teach the doctrines
Of the state church, 1t was certainly
| unfair to teach the doctrines Of the
independent churches. Mr.. Birrell, af.
ter studying the problem, apparently
decided to follow the American model
as far as possible and, abolish all re.
igious instructions in the time devoted
to secular teaching, tho the school
buildings may be used for religious in
struction in other hours The impor
tant point of the bill is that no re-
ligious test is to be made condition
!, of the employment Of teachers, and nj
religious instruction, shall be required
from teachers paid out Of public money

The Duluth Convention.

With the approach of the date Of the
republican state convention the cam
paign for first place on the ticket be-
comes more strenuous and the rivalry
of the candidates more intense. The
fight for delegates has, however, not
provoked any bitterness of feeling up
to date, and if the present condition
prevails until Wednesday the man who
is nominated ought to enter the field
with less in the way Of personal AMI
mostly and resentment to overcome
than is usually present in the situation.
This is a fortunate condition Of
things, and yet it is to be accounted
for largely by a fact which cannot add
materially to the confidence of the sue
cessful candidate. IF there were in
tense interest felt by the rank and file
of the party in the outcome Of the ap-
preaching gubernatorial contest, good
deal more concern would be manifested
with regard to the nominee. 1t hap.
pens, however, that not only independ-
ents and democrats are Indifferent in
an unusual degree, but republicans
men who can usually be relied upon to
support party candidates-are mani
Testing very little interest in the ap-
preaching convention. The politicians
are active, but the result is not the
absorbing subject Of conversation in the
clubs and cafes and other places of
rendezvous.
This unusual state Of affairs we might
as well account for in accordance with
facts. The reason is that the office
is occupied at present by man who
has lots of friends not only in his own
party, but among republicans. They
have had no occasion to regret his cleo
tion and have not been disappointed in
his performances. He makes a. pre-
sentable, creditable first citizen Of the
state, and whether he succeeds himself
Or not is a matter of comparative in
difference to many who, under ordi-
nary conditions, would be deeply inter
ested in the choice of his opponent at
the polls.
This fact-and it Is a fact-ought,
therefore, to suggest very forcibly to the
delegates at Duluth that the principal
thing to consider there is not how to
forward the interests of this candidate
or that one; not how to crafty a per
sonal preference or reward individual
ambition; but how to find candidate
who will so commend himself to the
people of the state that his election
may be sure. The Duluth convention
= ought to be serious, calm, deliberate
conference Of republicans to promote
the best interests Of the party in the
state. and able to ignore entirely the
aspirations and ambitions Of individ
uals. Such course as this is the
proper one to pursue in order to make
sure Of republican success in the com
ing campaign.

e Dear Uncle Bert: Inclosed please
find the report of the meetings we have
had: [ asked the pupils every day in
one story. Here I will tell you of my
own experience. One day, as I was rid
ing down the shill onsmy bicycle I met
a. man with a heavy load Of bricks whip
ping his horses, trying to-. make them
go up the hill. I told him if he did not
stop whipping his horses would re-
port him to the Humane society. He
stopped right away and his horses got
up much easier. Here is another that
I did one day as we were playing ball
near our house. We saw calf tied to
rope, all tangled in the string. We
did not pay much attention to it until
lady came running out. We ran, too,
and found the calf nearly choked to
death. . T cut the rope. The calf lay
there a moment and then rose feeling
all right. Yours truly, III.

It Can Be Stopped.

A friend of The Journal
writes to say that while the Burling-
ton railroad is under, fire for discrim-
ination against Minneapolis, we ought
not to forget treatment Of the same
kind in other quarters. Recently some
friends Of this correspondent about
to make trip east from Fargo, desired
the privilege Of changing cars at this
point rather than at st. Paul. The
ticket agents at Fargo, however, repre-
senting the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern, found it inconvenient
or impossible to make their tickets read
thru to destination and allow change
of cars at Minneapolis.
This is not the first time that com.
plant of this sort has come to hand
and the attention Of the Commercial
club is called to this discrimination
against Minneapolis on the thru tick
cts provided by western roads and the
disposition to carry all traffic thru to
st. Paul without affording travellers an
opportunity to make their changes to
east-bound trains in Minneapolis. 1t
| would seem as if the Commercial club
ought to delegate to somebody the bust
ness Of a thoro campaign on this whole
matter of discrimination by the rail
roads against this city. It can be
stopped If the business men here want
it stopped bad enough.

Phillips has departed from the beaten

Of life among the respectable East siders

both his plot and his color from real life,
for It Is in close adherence to the
real that he has done his best work
In his political novels. When he has at

Omaha, June 11.-Thomas II. Tibbles,
who was the populistic candidate for
vice president and is the head of the
"popsp in the west, has served notice
on the democratic party that a new set
of managers and leaders must be in
stalled if that party would win the
support of the populists for Bryan in
the next campaign. Mr.. Tibbles says:
"Whether the populists will support
Bryan if he is nominated by the demo-
Gratis depends upon many things. The
organization of the democratic party is
wholly in the hands Of the corporations
and Wall street. The national commit
tee and the state committees, for the
most part are men who have always
fought the principles for which the pop
ulists have contended and there is no
evidence that they. have changed since
they deserted Bryan and supported the
republicans. Many of these men have
lately proclaimed themselves Bryan
