ers who starred together throughout the
sreater part Of their long and honorable
careers on the stage.
Billy Florence was as popular on
the stage as on. And SO well known
on Broadway was he that once he was
offered the nomination for mayor.
Florence was born in Albany, N. T.,
of Irish parentage. His real name was
ConIin, and his brother was the promi-
nent local police official of that name.
Florence began his stage career IN
is49. At the outset he aspired to serious
roles. One of his first successes was as
Afacduff to Edwin Booths Macbeth. But
when John Brougham engaged him to
play in the little theater adjoining the
Fifth Avenue Theater Florence scored
q real hit in Irish parts.
In 1852 he became member or the
company of the old Broadway Theater.
Here he met, wooed and welded Mrs.
Littel. who had achieved fame as
dancer under her maiden name, Maivina
PRAY. Mrs Florence was sister OF
Mrs. Barney Williams and the newly
welded couple went at once on tour,
pIaying Yankee and Irish characters
such as had served Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Iiams successfully.

COLD COMFORT FOR LONDON.

ment that suffrage has but extended political cor
rupon and lowered the traditional standard of cnv-
airy, but he Sand;dly admits that h has found no
such evidence He reports that there is greater
sensitiveness to the corruption of women in politics
and an insistence upon higher standards than men
respect Furthermore, he reports that greater
courtesy and chivalry prevail at public meetings
since women were admitted to the franchise" In The
States where women have been admitted to the
legislature he found that women seldom dscredit
themselves in the actual discharge of their legisa
tive duties" and while they make use of party ma
Chimes they adhere for the most part to their orig
nal program of reform.
''It may be-" he concludes, that there are valid
arguments against woman suffrage, and nothing is
further from my mind than to suggest judgment
but at the close of the campaign in which women had
been peculiarly active had only pity for those who
profess to believe that women unsex themselves
when they 60 into politics.
The correspondent is solid ground when he
says that opposition to women is dying among
politicians who have mad opportunity to observe
the results of extending the franchise" and also
when he SAYS that the cause is gaining ground in the
East.

Their versatility was extraordinary
Nevertheless both aimed to achieve re-
nOwn in serious parts. As was the case
with many other American stars Of this
period, the Florences were hailed as OF
stellar timbre first by the London pub
he in 1857.
Three years later, when the Florences
appeared in New York, at Wallack's.
they scored q tremendous success in
several comedies. And IN 1S62, as Boo
Brieriy in "The Ticket Of Leave Man..
Florence became a star Of the nrst
grade. and this he remained ever after.
Perhaps his greatest role was ObenA

years they had commanded . steady

And. like many other favorttes Of the
public, the Florences gained by far
their greatest financial success with
what was the fiimsiest stage maferial
ever offered by them. This was y. E.

equal hits.

INAUGURAL TICKET SPECULATION.

The people of Washington will be able to give
most valuable assistance the committees in charge
of Inauguration arrangements, if they will cooperate
in suppression of speculation in tickets for the re-
viewing stands At the BEST it is well-nign impos-
sibe to put an end to this practice and the conse-
quent extortion 1t gives Washington bad character
with visitors who, coming in the last hours before
the ceremony, discover that they must pay outrageous
prices for seats or else lose all chance to the very
thing for which they came.
Tne committees announce their purpose to stop
speculation and scaping if is possible. 1t will be
possible if Washington people fatty refuse to pay
swollen prices Let the scalpers discover that they
are going to be stuck, and they will unload their
tickets fast enough.
Beyond that if persons TO whom tickets are Of
fered fancy prices would report that fact to the gen.
eral committees, it would enable these latter more
effectively to guard against the tickets falling into the
hands of scalpers.

( THE WEST VIRGINIA SCANDAL.

West Virginia has arrived with the long overdue
exposure of political conditions in that State. The
lid has somehow been kept in its place for the last
two years, despite that occasionally it lifted
enough to let some nauseous odors escape Seem
ingly, it has been blown off entirely, and there
may be reasonable expectation of pretty thorough
exposition of the real situation.
1t is the same old story, of one vi gorous, aggres-
sve corrupt legislator who undertook, for proper
consideration, to round up the weak brethren and
deliver their votes to the candidate for Senator who
would put up the Consideration" Col. William
Seymour Edwards, the progressive leader in the State
and candidate for Senator, engaged the Burns de-
tectves and their battery of dictagraphs, entered into
alliance with the prosecuting attorney, and set about
to learn the truth.
1t is nasty and sordid enough narration that
comes out of Charleston, of legislators boldly going
out and offering their votes to the best bidder. We
have been wont to think of corruption operating the
other way around; of the man who wanted the votes
sending out his agents to dicker for their purchase.
In this case the legislators charged with going
out looking for the chance to be corrupted. They
wanted to find the man with money who would pay
it to them to violate their oaths of Office. They
pooled their strength and then shopped in the effort
to get tine best results. '-..-.-.
The least that the West Virginia authorities can
do is to pursue now relentless investigation of the
whole affair." The legislature must demonstrate
whether there is enough virtue left in it to expose
its vice. the prosecutors and the State executive
must stop at nothing short of conviction and punish
ment of all the guilty.
Beyond that the United States Senate must be
notice of its own responsibility. If the State
thortes fail to discharge their full obligation in the
premises then it will be the manifest duty of the
tional Senate to make very that before it seats
a Senator from West Virginia it shall know tnat his
credentials bear no stain.
The West Virginia scandal is the most disgusting
that the present seasons crop of Senatorial elections
has thus far brought to the surface. But the season
is not yet ended Before it is over, we may have
others just as bad 4
1t is good to know that, almost to certainty, this
is the last year in which such things will be possible
The popular-elections amendment to the Constitu-
ton will be the law of the land before another
biennial series of Senatorial elections comes around
and the business of corrupting and debauchng egis
ators will cease least far concerns tine selec
ton of men to misrepresent the States in the upper
chamber.

HITCHCOCK STANDS BY HIS GUNS.

When Postmaster General Hitchcock, year ago,
wrote into his annual report that he thought the
Government ought to take the entire
telegraph service of the nation and make it a
division fthe postal service, there was fine
scurrying for cover in Administration circles.
The White House did not at all approve tine
recommendation, and the Postmaster General gave
out to the press the first announcement of it, and
then disappeared. When the newspaper correspond
ents received the press statement from the Postmas-
fer Generals Office and made inquiries at the White
House, as to whether the recommendation repre-
sented the Presidents sentiments they learned that
the White House was taken completely by surprise,
didn't expect that any suc pronounesmsnt was to be

THE RECLAMATION CHARGES.

If the Reclamation Service deserves to be SUBJ
ected to the severe structures passed upon it by the
House Committee on Expenditures in the Interior
Department then indeed is another idol fallen
There has been firm and long established confidence
in both the integrity and the efficiency of the Rec
lamation Service and it will take good deal more
than the unateral and report of this inquiry tc
shake that confidence.
1t will be 4 good deal easier, pending much more
detailed information about the committees grounds
for its charges to believe that the committee has
been imposed on by interests that wanted to make
out a case against Federal reclamation on general
principles.
The Federal control of everything in the public
domain is under fire just now. Water power forest
reserves, mineral lands the reclamation work. Alas
kan administration everything that has to do with
the administration of our remaining national lands
and resources, is being bushwhacked from all direc-
tons. se
II is all preliminary to the assault which is being
carefully planned by forces that design to wrest the
public lands from the Government and turn them
the States in order that it may be the easier
to make them prey for exploiters and promoters.
The kindest thing that can be said about the sensa-
tona reclamation report is that the committee would
appear to have been misled. But the committee
might have saved itself from some very ridiculous
nesses who, in any fair management of such an
investigation would have had chance to tell their
stories before the findings were made up.
