It is ur © chief of police has reconsidered his inal determination to prevent the performance in Washington of Mrs. Langtry’s play, “The De; Tates, and is holding the matter open for future decision. This Is assuredly the course of Wisdom as far as it goes. It is to be doubted whether the community would in- a a & program of Interference with an Officially unknown quantity, merely on the Judgment of other chiefs of police and the may of other cities. Of course, “The Degenerates” fs not strictly speaking cn unknown quantity. Its merits and demerits have bee widely exploited. It has pleased and disp audiences composed of the Severest critics as well as the most easily satisfied theater goers of many cities, in- cluding some of the largest in this coun- try. Public opinion is not unanimous over it. The old line of Wage between con- servative and Mberal sentiment fs to be everywhere observed. But it remains for @ctual production in this city to test the Washington sentiment. No official can do that in advance. As regards its moral qual- ity, a play Is precisely what it appears to its immediate beholders. It possesses no absolute character, by which it can be ap- Proved or condemned without regard to the temperament, the prejudices or the edu- cation of a people. ‘Therefore, if “The Degenerates” is to be qondemned in advance of its Washington appearance it must first be shown that the Washington taste has been sufficiently well measured to warrant a previous judgment that this play would offend the capital. But unfortunately this doctrine cannot be here, their general character being known in advance sufficiently to permit as intelli- gent a judgment as in the case of “The Degen: ~ They were offensive in line and ac eked the sense of de- cency of a majority of those who, lured by clever expivitation, ventured to witness them. Can a city which has officially—The Star will not say complacently, for it recorded its protest emphatically at the time of their produc: ys now con- rn about and reject before test- ing a play that is known to have decided literary merit, that, while treating of an im- proper social condition, nevertheless con- ives to present a semblance of a moral? other trashy, immoral productions could offer no such offsets against their fouln, They were dull in Hne, more than suggestive in action and not always well performed. sea Is it not very late in the n to seek to establish a moral stand- ard? There is room enough, in the name of all decen to propagate a reform. Washington would heartily applaud any sincere, well conducted attempt to purify the play house. But it will reserve its ap- plause until the effort is logical and prom- ising of success. And it will particularly withhold its approval from any spasmodic attempts in this line until steps are taken to remove the moral sore which even now pollutes the atmosphere with its almost continuous presentation of the filthiest of y" and “burlesque.” A recent abor- tive effort to clean place provoked only amusement and served to advertise the indecencies there exposed. If now an opportunity 1s wanted to start in to es- tablish Washington's reputation for clean theatricals the opening is at hand long in advance of Mrs. Langtry in her “De- generate: > oe Populism vx. Republicanism. fusion between the democrats and populists in Oregon last week was not ac- complished without difficulty. The popu- lists demanded representation on the tickets. Some of the democrats as steutly resisted the demand, and one of them put the case in this way “The demoera and broad ¢ party is take reat enough in every voter who is opp McKinley and the policies of the republican party. If the populists wish to support democratic can- didates, let them do so. “Itt re con ar any candidates to be ch ention, let them be nomini . and only as democrats.” The populists won. They secured repre- sentation on the state ticket, one of the two congressional nominations made, and two of the four presidential electors selected. Moreover, the platform adopted {s popu- lstic from top to bottom. Free silver, the income tax, the initiative and referendum, and denunciation of government by injune- tion, are all either of populistic origin, or of cy. So that the ‘on will vote in June, so far policles are concerned, as between re- publicanism, and populism masquerading under the name of democracy. And will not the country at large at a later day also be called upon practically to choose between the two? The Kansas City convention Is not likely to nominate a pop- ulist for Vice Presi Neither fs it likely to incorporate the initiative and referendum into its platform, But when it renominates Mr. Bryan, who is more populist that dem- rms devotion to the policies d for at Chicago four years ago, {t il make the issue between populism and 3 sharp and as distinct as as ulistie support, out hope In the from his calculation and he is without hope anywhere. Let us suppose him, then, triumphant tn November, and tnaugurated as President next March as the choice of a ion of demuoer: and populists. Shall not the populists receive their share of the spoil? Shall that share include nothing higher than a marshalsbip here, a district attorneyship there, a collector of customs yonder? Shall we not see a populist at the ‘ble, and maybe more than one? cabin Shall the poputists not receive especial con- sideration !n the reorganization of the in- terstate commerce commission? In a word, why, with a man of thelr choice and of heir own way of thinking in the White House, shall they not make themselves both conspicuous and influential in the new order of things?

A rumor which was rather disquieting in its first effect, that Capt. Reichmann, the American military attache on duty with the Boer army making observations, had led the Boers in one of their recent suc- cessful operations, seems to have received its final quietus. <A dispatch has reached London from Pretoria stating that Consul Hay has emphatically denied the rumor on the authority of Capt. Reichmann’s official report. That officer declares that he spent most of his time during the fight attending the wounded Dutch military attache, who subsequently fell into the hands of the British. There is a bellef that the story started from the fact that an American serving with the Free State army was mistaken for the attache. This story Mlustrates the facility with which statements tending to embroil the United States in this war receive credence among the Boer sympathizers. A gross n- justice has been done to an American of- ficer by placing him under suspicion of hav- ing betrayed his trust and violated his or- ders. The scandal mongers did not hesitate to make capital out of the rumor, however, ignoring the possibility that a good man’s reputation might be blasted or this govern- ment involved in an embarrassing affair. Fortunately England seems to understand fairly well the true nature of the pro-Boer propaganda in this country and to make allowances for its exuberance. ——+ + =—_—.

For the Best. . “Everything happens for the best,” said Senator Sorghum. ‘What were you thinking of?” “Porto Rico. When I think of how much we are going to get out of thet island I'm more convinced than ever that Spain was neglecting its opportunities and deserved to lose it.” The Season's Excitement. ‘The boy now rolls the Ezster egg Upon the grass so green, And all the while the youngster plays A merry game I wean. And all the neighborhood will pause The contest to behold; The winner is the lucky chap Who doesn’t catch a cold. Discournging. . “It's terribly discouraging,” said one small boy, “to hear mother go on talking about not wanting to color Easter eggs, but hav- ing to do it, to amuse the children. Yes,” answered the other juvenile; “with us breaking our hearts to see all those good dyes being put on cggs, when we wanted it so badly for war paint to play Injun with.” His Presence of Mind. “A woman can’t sharpen a lead pencil or throw a stone.” read Mr. Meekton aloud. “What's that?" asked his wife, rather sharply. “Don't mistaka me, Henrietta.” was the quick rejoinder. “I am not gloating. I was just reflecting on the wisdom of nature. There is no reason why a woman should sharpen pencils or throw stones, when there are plenty of men hanging ‘round, whose time doesn’t amount to much anyhow, and who might as well be doing that as noth- ing.” From a Scene of War. “It makes me shudde’ sald the Filipino, who, having nothing else to do, was Iels- urely retreating, “to read about these fights in Kentucky.” “Yes,"" replied his companion; ‘ lynchings In Texas.” ‘And these garrotings in Porto Rico.” “And thi attempted assassinations in Europe.” “And other disturbances too numerous to mention.

Purse-Snatching, From the Philadelphia Times. While it entirely right that purse- Snatchers should be speedily and severely punished, it might be well for women to remember that they offer great temptation to crime by the entatious manner in which they t purses or pocket books. True, a fad, but it is a very bad one, and one that should be speedil abandon There is nothing beautiful in woman carrying even a very handsome pocket bovk on the streets, and it is cer- tainly inconvenient, besides the temptation t gives to the sneakthief. it ts necessary that women should have some way of Carrying their money when out shopping, but even with the unfindable pockets of the modern dress skirt, there should be some sensible and convenient method devised by which purses could be carried without being exposed to the pro- fessional grabber. ———++-s____ A Deserved Promotion, From the New York Mail and Express, The promotion of Mr. George B. Cortel- you to be secretary to President McKinley is a deserved recognition of faithful and tn- telligent services. Me. Cortelyou’'s work has been Invaluable to the President, and it would have been rewarded long ago had there been opportunity to do so without severing the close relations that exist pe- tween him and the President. Mr. Porter’s resignation because of illness has made tt possible for Mr. Cortelyou_to be promoted and yet retained in the President's confl- dential service, and the value Mr. McKinley places on him is evidenced in the prompt- ness with which he has acted. Toe Suicide Statistics, From the Birmingham Age-Herald, All in all, Americans cling to life more tenactously than in other countries, but still the loss of 6,500 persons a year con- stitutes a problem that deserves more study than {t has thus far received. The proportion of suicides seems to be nearly as large in the country districts as in the cities, and any means of prevention must be broadly social as well as ethical in order to be at all efficiént, ———— > 2 ___ A Wise Providence Forbid!

From the St. Louls Globe Democrat. British expenditures are running $7,000,- 000 a week beyond revenue. Uncle Sam is settling up his war account, and last month ran $4,000,000 a week ahead of expenses. ———~> +2 ___ The Difficulty of Keeping Obscare. From tle Baltimore American. A man in Pennsylvania kas achieved fame by always standing up when he sleeps. In these sensation-loving days the man who likes obscurity has a hard time dodging the lasso of notoristy. He has ‘to be without a peculiarity, and even then runs iisks of becoming noted for that. The Horse to the Front. From the Philadelphia Record. As an engine of war the horse still keeps the place he held when the great poet of Israel said of him: “He paweth in the yal- ley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he goeth out to meet the armed men; he mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; * * * he smell- eth the battle afar off, the thunder-of the captains and the shouting.” The demand for horses to mount the British cavalry in the war In South Africa is likely to take all the American surplus, and raise the price of the animals. It is sald that $5,000,000 will ba expended in the purchase, in this country, of sultable cavalry horses, —__—_«—____ British Lion Hard Pressed. From the Kansas City Journal.
