Already the Republican machine organs
in Pennsylvania are calling upon the
voters to decid. the coming State election
on the issues that viii not affect either
that State OF the country until the Preai-
dential contest Of 1908.
The election Of the fusion ticket headed
BY Lewis Emery, Jr, for governor ac-
oording to the wall of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, "would inevitably split the
Republican party Of Pennsylvania wide
open" And "what hope would there be
for a Republican President TO succeed
Roosevelt ?" It plaintiyely inquiries.
Ammunition for this partisan campaign
was furnished in abundance by some Of
the elements at the Democrats State
Convention which opposed fusion with
the Lincoln Republicans on the guber-
material candidate. "The success Of
tho ticket named today will result in
the election to the Presidency, two years
hence, Of that Tribune Of the people,
William Jennings Bryan" shouted
Michael j. Ryan of Philadelphia, tenn
poray chairman Of the convention, in
his opening address.
Ryan Is a high chief Of that gang Of
trading politicians IN Philadelphia, which,
masquerading under the cloak Of the
Democratic organization, has ever been
ready 70 give sid 10 the Republican ma
chine In is hours Of peril. This was one
Of the means employed by that discredited
element. Ryan has furnished the
machine Republicans with their strongest
and most popular campaign argument.
This years Pennsylvania election has
not the remotest bearing upon the great
Presidential battle that will be fought in
1908 But the pretext Of close oonnec-
ton viii be eagerly seized upon by ma
chine Republicans as a prop to their
ialtering cause. And machine Demo-
Gratis, political traders in every campaign
have already helped them, and will help
them 10 the end.

Thus Is lfe given to project almost as

er and early fathers Of the Republic were
alive to the importance Of canals. In
the old days, before tbs era of steam
transportation on land, canals were very
important adiuncts Of internal commerce.
and available routes for them W re looked
after with respectful attention The
project for a ship canal across the Della
waro Peninsula was urged nearly a century
ago, by President Madison, who realized
even at that early day, the Importance
and value Of such a waterway TO con-
meet the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays

CURRENT LITERATURE.

The Theatre Magazine for July is un-
usually well filled with interesting articles
on and pictures of stage folk. The prin-
cipal contribution is an interview with
Richard Mansfield, in which Americas
leading actor sets forth the hopes and
disappointments Of his career. The article
Is illustrated with pictures taken especially
Tor II. Another important article gives
some account Of the men who, in the
theatrical world, make a speciality OF
putting on plays. They are in q sense
collaborators Of the author, but the public
knows very little of them This article
also is well illustrated. The recent tour
OF Sarah Bernhardt throughout the West
is elaborately illustrated, and there is a
tine doube-page picture showing her
open-air performance of "Phedre" in the
Greek theatre at Berkeley, Cal The
great French actress was also interviewed
by the Theatres representative, and gives
interesting details OF her artistic methods.
Robert Edeson the hero of "Strongheart,
writes of his stage beginnings in an enter
tanning way and there is a well illustrated
article describing the recent performance
OF the Agamemnon OF Aeschylus az Har-
ward Among the exotic shows which
New York has TO offer the theatre-goer.
are the curious Manonette performances
Of Little Italy. An interesting account is
given Of these miniature stages and of the
clever little actors who are turned out
while you wait The plays and the in
fiuence Of the late Henrik lbsen are dis
cussed at length, and there is also a full
account Of the two subsidized theatres
of which Chicago will boast at the open
ing of next season There il also an
article describing the remarkable per-
sonality OF Anna Bishop, a singer we'll
known 20 years ago, who is supposed to
have been the original from which Du
Maurier got his idea of Trilby. The
pictures in this number include a oolored
full-page portrait OF Richard Mansfield
as Beau Brummel, a full-page half
tone portrait OF Louis James as Fal-
staff and full-page portrait Of
Mary Van Buren, the California actress
There are also large portraits of Harry
Woodruff, Francis Starr, Rose stahl, Ben
Teal, George Marion, Eugene Presbrey.
