Sampson may have been technic
ally the winner ef the Santiago
battle, but Schley continues to re
ceive the medals.
An American firm ib building
600 locomotives for foreign coun
tries. This is another evidence that
trade will follow tbe engine.
Aouinaldo's mistake lay chiefly
in the supposition that he conld ex
tort a larger bribe from the United
States than he received from Spain.
Speaker Reed's secretary says
it is the "Czar's" wish to withdraw
from politics entirely. There are a
lot of people interested in the Nica
ragua canal, the Pacifio cable and
other important works who will, for
once, heartily sympathize with the
gentleman from Maine. Bulletin.
' There is a danger in our civic
.life which many people overlook,
and every law abiding citizen and
Jover of justice should help remove
it. When a body of armed men
"will proceed to slay helpless victims
because they are under arrest for
. arson, they commit a crime them
selves, and are in fact anarchists.
They bring the orderly adminiitra
tion of justice into coutempt, not to
cay anything of the dastardly cow
ju-dice that would strike down
lelpleps, defenseless victim. The
governor of Georgia has acted
lightly iii offering a reward for the
apprehension of those who Bbot
down the helpleBS negroes in the
Palmetto jail. Laws should not be
made simplv to catch votes: but
when on the statute books our laws
should be impartially enforced.
But now the leader of the forlorn
hope swings to the other extreme
and orieB, "Unole Sam, keep yon
hands off the Philippines, or you
uiuy col hurt." Not bo, Mr, Bryan
Unole Sum is in snfr IiaikIh, and
whun it coiiiasi to the sutttUih he will
still be found doing business at the
old stand and in the good old way
From all parts of the nation oomeB
the oheering news of rapid improve
nieut in the business world. The
balance of tride, despite our little
difference with Spain, was in favor
of the United States to the tune six
hundred millions. More farm prod
uots were exported last year than
ever before. But manufacturers are
also reaping the benefits of restored
confidence. Just one item, the tin
plate industry, which was so merci
lessly ridiculed. Last year we pro
duoed six huudred eighty-one mil
lion pounds of tiuplate. The in
fant of two or three years ago has
grown to be a man. We spoke of
the raise in wages in last week's is
sue. Now comes news from the
coal mines in Alabama; the steel
plants in Pennsylvania, Maryland
and West Virginia and other lines
of manufacture of a ten per cent
raise in wages of thousands of la'
borers. The advance agent of pros
parity is on the stage and showing
to orowded and much pleased
audiences.
Ouk senators talked a long while
. before they ratified the treaty of
peace with Spain. But when it
came before the Spanish cortes the
proposed terms of peace were dis'
tCUBsed with much neat and many
Strong invectives were used. Sa-
gasta and his ministry finally re'
signed and senor eilvela was ap
pointed to form a new ministry,
fat it was discovered that the treaty
could be signed without the sanction
of the cortes. The Queen Regent
thereupon dissolved the cortes and
issued a decree for a new election
to take place next month. On the
' following day she signed the treaty
of peace. So that now we are again
practically at peace with Spain.
. Only a few formalities remain to be
observed at Washington and then
the two nations will again resume
friendly relations. ' ,,
Apropos to the position of the
' president we remark the position of
Vm, J. Bryan. He is like a pendu
lum; only he swings from one ex
treme to another. In a recent speech
be denounced "imperialism" in un
measured language. There is a
bappy medium in all things. But
Mr. Bryan wanted to compel all
the world to accept our silver at 16
tol in 86. ;The cry then, was,
"The United States are large and
trong enough to stand alone. "
That meant that our government
was to disregard all economic laws;
Jaws of finance, supply and de
mand, and by sheer force of circum
, stances compel other nations to ac
cept our fiat money for their prod
ucts or not trade with us at all.
We have seen how the possibility
of such ideas being formulated into
laws caused foreign capital to with
draw, and business was paralyzed.
. The Shirley Company Is Here.
The Jessie Shirley Company opeued
a week's engagement at the opera house
last Honday evening- Toe opening
piece was "La Belle Marie." In this
there is an opportunity for some very
fine work and, be it said to the credit
of the company,' they took advantage
of every opportunity and presented to
our people oy lar tne oesi dramatized
ilece ever staged 10 tms oity. Miss
essle Shirley In the roie of Jean Inele
side and Marie Dubois proved herself
the very talented and always capable
actress tout sue is. tier support in
this play was Unit-class in every par
ticular. It is impossible (or us to par
ticuiarize in the personnel of other
characters, as to do this and mention uf
ail the good work done would require
an entire page ot this paper, but when
we say all were good, that Includes the
entire company, ine character as
sumed, whether pleasing or displeasing
to an audience, has mucn to do with
the weighed value of the person assure
ing the role in the opinion of the audi
ence, and the appreciation of the real
merits of an actor or actress is perforce
ofttimes lost sight of by reason ot the
displeasing or nenoisn role tney carry.
Hence it is not fair to judge of an actor's
work in anyone cast wnere many diner
ent ones are assumed but the Shirley
people are ail ngnt in every particular.
The general op'oion of all who wit
nessed this opening piece was one ot
highest merit. Many have said that
to see Miss Shirley as Marie Dubois
was worth a dollar of any person's
money.
Tuesday evening A Daughter of the
Empire" was presented. In this piece
tne costuming is one 01 tne especially
grand and pleasing features.
Wednesday evening "Moths," drama
tized :rom one of Oulda's famous novels,
was presented, and in this the com'
pany's first-class work was apparent.
Thursday evening "Uhild 01 the Keri-
ment" was presented.
Tonigot Ir rldayl "Divorced" will be
on the boards and Saturday evening
anotner drama irom uuida's novel,
"Under Two Flags," will be presented.
Saturday afternoon a matinee, "Lost
for a Day," will be given.
The company has played to well
filled Hbuses each evening and as the
interest in their excellent productions
seems to be growing It is more than
probable that standing room will be at
premium at the other three per
formances
There are nineteen people in the
company and tbey are the happiest,
most gentlemanly and ladylike crowd
of boys and girls that have ever visited
our city.
rue musicians 01 the company are
all very clever performers and their
street renditions draw big crowds.
