OLONEL BRYAN considers 120 votes from C the South so safe for him that he pays little at- tention to Dixie and penetrates it no farther than the cold edges of Maryland and West Virginia. The South, the cotton States, that South which rules that section, is for expansion, for holding the Philip- pines and looking around for something else to grab. W repeat, the South is the only section of this country that is nearly unanimous for holding the Phil- ippines. It goes further. It wants Cuba and is not patient with the steps taken by the President to let that island go. The South and the Democracy always wanted Cuba. During Pierce’s administration an effort was made to buy the island of Spain, without consulting the people or the consent of the governed. Spain was influenced against the sale by some of the Cabinets of Continental Europe, whereupon James Buchanan, Minister to England, John Y. Mason, Minister to France, and Slidell, Minister to Spain, met at Ostend and did a most extraordinary thing. They issued what is known as the Ostend manifesto, in which they assumed to declare the foreign policy of his Government. They declared that whenever v territory, anywhere, was necessary to the protec- tion or profit of the United States, we had the right to take such territory, regardless of the protest of the sovereignty to which it belonged or the wish of the | people who inhabited it! That is the sentiment of the South to-day, and it is not diluted by any fine spun theories about consent of the governed, lifting up the lowly or civilizing the !savage. They have an eye to the profit of it to them- selves. hey want to sell cotton and other things which they produce in excess of their own needs. Already every influential Democratic paper in that | section has poohpoohed Colonel Bryan’s “paramount | issue” out of the campaign. Seven out of ten of the | Southern dailies are openly for holding the Philip- pines, and, with frankness ‘for which they deserve credit, say that if Colonel Bryan is elected they will | see that he does not make a fool of himself on that | subject. < It is said that “in vain is the snare spread in the sight of the bird.” Does it apply to man and to poli- tics? Colonel Bryan is setting the snare in the sight of the Northern anti-expansionist to catch his vote for the benefit of the Southern expansionist. Will it | work? Will William Lloyd Garrison pull Senator Morgan’s chestnuts out of the fire? Morgan said in | San Francisco in 1898, “Our flag is in the Philippines God planted it there.” Governor | to stay. | Do Mr. Garrison, Boutwell, Senator Henderson and the Springfield Republican imagine that Bryan will send Morgan to impiously pull down the divinely planted flag? | Does Mr. Schurz think that Mr. Hearst will spend big type and d breath hauling down the has in screeching “Nail the flag to the | will permit Bryan to give up the Philip- 1 nct dodo is refleshed and feathered gs no bigger than a bean in a humming ent, separates into his component parts of h, fowl and beast and fights both his ends against middle for a share of the gate money. is perfectly understood in the South. nry Watterson is for holding the Philippines, and, i ount issue in the nal, is ing over the problem esident Cleveland was in favor of tariff re- He would rather fill his paper with an inquiry whether an ostrichcan better digest a sodawater bottle empty or filled with Bourbon whisky and corked tight reproduce Colonel Bryan's tiresome tatters of ations from Lincoln, and his tremors over im- ‘he Southerners know what they want. | Fitzhugh Lee visited the reunion of Mosby’s men in | Virginia the other day and in his speech opposed yielding an inch in the Philippines or anywhere else. th an acorn off Robert E. Lee's old mili- tary hat goes further than all Colonel Bryan’s rhetoric and contortions. In view of all this the anti-expansionists of the North who support Bryan are gold brick buyers. They are the victims of a political bunko game. IN CANADA. | HOT TIMES | ANADA is making ready for a general election, C and it promises to be a hot one. Theré is no | complaint of apathy on either side. Sir Wilfrid | Laurier is to ask of the voters an approval of his ad- { on and a new lease of power; but if the Conservatives are to be trusted the request will be treated as a bit of impudence deserving of a rebuke | at the polls that will be memorable forever. | All kinds of charges are made against the Ministry. | It is said that by his preferential tariff in favor of Brit- ish goods Laurier has sacrificed the interests of Can- |ada; that he promised to reduce taxes, but instead | has added to the taxes, to the expenditures and to ;the public debt; that his Government has been marked | by many corrupt deals and jobs; and, finally, that his supporters are trying to arouse race prejudices in Quebec by asserting that the Conservative opposition | descent. | The charges are not made in a vague way. Thus | the Montreal Gazette recently said: “Sir Wilfrid ; Laurier, in 1896, promised Canada a business Govern- ment. He gave a Government that paid $2,000,000 | more for the construction of the Crow’s Nest railway | than the company had offered to do the work for; a Government that conceived the Yukon railway deal, E!haz brought about the imposition of discriminating | duties on Canadian grain in Germany, that burked | the fast Atlantic mail service arrangement and gave the country the present ten-day voyage service, that drew out the ‘business is business’ letter as a code of political morals, and inflicted on the country ¢he | shame of the emergency rations scandal. It is time ito turn the humbugs down.” | The fight is not one-sided by any means. The Lib- | erals mock at the opposition to the preferential tariff |and quote Conservative statesmen in favor of that | policy in times past. They also charge Sir Charles | Tupper, the Conservative leader, with putting up more | jobs than Laurier has ever been accused of. It is said ing salaries from the public treasury, while Laurier has not a single relative in office. One earnest Lib- eral goes so far in the way of campaign argument as to say: “In 1896 there were eleven convicts in King- ston penitentiary, ten of whom were Conservatives, The eleventh, the Liberal, escaped. He said he didn’t mind being in jail so much, but he objected to the company.” From the reports that come to us it appears there is to be no paramount issue in the campaign. Laurier's administration is to be assailed all along the line. The Conservative leaders are already on the stump and are greeted with a good deal of enthusiasm | nest, and when the ornithorhynchus, hard up | to him is due solely to the fact that he is of French | | that there are thirty-three of the Tupper family draw- | at their meetings. Summing up the demands of the Conservatives the Toronto Mail and Empire says: “Our western territories must be wrested from the grip of the Siitonian speculator, and a population that will assimilate must be thrown in. Markets must be found for our produce which under proper condi- tions will increase vastly in quantity. The preference which the British people will give must be secured. From the money-making coteries which infest Ottawa the country must be relieved. The deals must be stopped. Common honesty in administration, with absolute freedom from ‘rake-off,’ must be introduced. Equal justice must be administered. There must no longer be one law excusing Lemieux, the offender, and another law punishing Woods, the loyal man. The taxes must come down by several millions, and money that passes to Ottawa must be leit in the chan- nels of trade and industry. The racialist who divides the people must go, and the machine which steals our votes must pass out zlso.” That is a formidable list, and it will be seen the ground to be fought over is a broad one. It is too carly to undertake to forecast the result. The doubt- ful element in the contest is the vote in Quebec. Or- dinarily the French of that province would support their fellow citizen and the representative of their race, Laurier, but his action in sending Canadian troops to help the British in South Africa is said to have alien- ated many voters of French descent, and it is believed his party will suffer in consequence. THE COMMERCIAL MUSEUM. Y the election of a board of governors at the B meeting on Friday the Pacific Commercial Museum becomes a fully organized association and is~mow prepared to begin its work. It starts under good auspices. It has already an assured mem- hership sufficient to establish it, and the revenues will be ample to maintain it on a scale large enough te demonstrate its usefulness to the community. That | is all required at this time, for as soon as its utility ‘\'alue has been proven by actual service it will have | no need to advertise for members nor beg for money. The history of the Commercial Museum in Phila- delphia is full of encouragement for the promoters of the enterprise here. When that institution was be- gun not even its most sanguine supporters had any conception of the rapidity with which its field of labor would expand and its usefulness to the commercial world increase. It was originally designed as some- thing of a local enterprise. It has become even more than a national enterprise. It is of use to merchants of all lands, and its influence is felt to a greater or | less extent in every commercial center of the globe. The museum in this city has before it a field of work peculiar to itself, and yet one of so broad a nature that it comprehends the whole commercial activity of | the Pacific Ocean, including in that activity all the exchanges that are to go on between this continent and the new civilizations of Australdsia and the old civilizations of the Orient. What the museum will | be able to do for particular lines of trade is as yet | merely a matter of speculation, but as soon as the | work begins the resuits to each class of business men will make themselves known. Every person engaged | in the trade of the Pacific will then see what the | museum can do for him and will give it support ac- | cordingly. The board of governors selected is a most excellent one. None can doubt the terprise in the hands of such men as have accepted | is to find a man to take executive management of the enterprise who will be equal to the task and the re- | sponsibilities of the office. If the right man be found, | the Pacific Commercial Museum will soon have a | repute not inferior to that of the great institution at | Philadelphia. E advanced by an early settlement of all points in dispute coucerning the proposed lease of China Basin to the Santa Fe Railroad. For years | past the commercial and industrial advancement of | California has been retarded by the lack of better transportation facilities across the continent, and more dock room in San Francisco. The lease of China Basin to a transcontinental railway company for the }cst;\blid\menl of a terminal in this city, under the | terms proposed, will supply both those needs. It will furnish a competitive transpertation route and bring | about an extension of the seawall, which will mate- rally increase the advantages of the port. Under the terms of the new lease, which has been [’ approved by the city cfficials, the State is to take the | outside portion of the company’s seawall for a dis- | tance of 100 feet after it has completed its own sea- | wall from Mission street to China Basin, a distance of Gooo feet. The net result will be that the Valley road, | by getting one-half of the seawall, gets five acres more | than by the old lease. As an offset the State will not | have to build 2300 feet south of the basin, at a cost of | $250,000. It can hardly be doubted that the public will ap- | prove the action of the city officials in the matter. | The interests of the city and the State appear to be | carefully guarded at every point. It is of course | recognized that an early settlement of the issue will be of great advantage to all concerned. China Basin is now unprofitable property. The improvement of it in the manner purposed by the Santa Fe road | would in itself be no small compensation for the privi- leges the road asks for. With the revival of trade sure to follow the settlement of the disturbances in | China and the extension of commercial privileges in | that empire there will be urgent need in California |and in San Francisco of a terminal in this city for | the competing transcontinental road, and accordingly | whatever will hasten the completion of the China | Basin improvements on fair #erms should be sup- ported by the State as well as the city officials. CHINA BASIN LEASE. VERY interest of the city and the State will be It is unfortunate that the Philippine Commission |did not delay its glowing report of conditions on the | islands for a few days at least. In the light of the re- | cent battle, in which 33 per cent of the Americans were lost, the report is not unlike the promise of a juggler of what might have been if things had been different. The Fresno boy parricide has been acquitted on the ground that he did not understand the enormity of his crime. Tt is sincerely to be hoped that he will not be allowed to acquire increased knowledge by new experience in his life-taking desires, P AR ohedi s The vision of patronage plums upon which the Democrats are gazing longingly will be turned in November by the magic of American votes into a picture of sour grapes. The gzllmt officers who transformed the transport Solace into a smuggler ought to be amply qualified to make some original observations on the utility of the revenue laws, l A success of an en- | | charge of the museum. The first point of importance | ORE than one of the September | M magazines have articles on the Ober-Ammergau passion play: by far the best is that of H. D. Rawnsley in the Atlantic. Three things| impressed him as especially noteworthy in this year's performance: first, the ar- rangement of the tableaux, wherein some- times as many as six hundred persons (one-third of them children) were on the stage, yet the effect was that of absolute | rest; second, the art displayed in the management of stage crowds; third, the naturalness and dignity characterizing the action of the principal performers— | explainable by their entire absorption in their work, and by their actually living, for the time, the personages they repre- sented. Yet the passion play is doomed; it is very doubtful if there will ever be another satisfactory performance. The reason for his Is evident and cannot be given better than in Mr. Rawnsley's words: “The al- most insolent famillarities that one saw taken by thoughtless foreigners with the village folk, the flatteries and adulations lavished upon the actors by excited and | admiring crowds, are likely to destroy the self-respect and simplicity of the peopls | and to poison the atmosphere in which | alone can grow the life and character | which render the passion play possible.” | Already we sre threatened with a New | York reproduction of the passion play, | wherein professional actors are to be em- | ployed for the principals and unwashed | supers for the chorus. Anything more hor- | rible than this it would be difficult to| imagine. | e | Augustus Thomas' “Arizona” has been at last produced in New York and has scored a success. That is good news for | the American playwright; it may not be | long before even the syndicate discovers that there is a growing taste for Ameri- can plays and that it wiil pay to cater to this taste. Sir Arthur Sulllvan’s latest opera, *“The | Rose of Persia,” was a failure in Newi York—not because of lack of, merit in the | work, but because it was presented by a! second rate English company at first rate prices. The two dollars a seat extortion | has never succeeded in establishing itseif | in the West and it Is to be hoped it never | will. | . In the September Critic Mr. Rostand has a long poem on “The Day of a Pre- cleuse.” He describes her awakening, her | toilet, her receiving of friends (La Ruelle) | and their inane rondeaux, her visit-| ing, driving, dining and going to sleep—all | in the most precious style of preciosity. | Strange that this silliest of literary fads | should interest anybody to-day in the | land of that Moliere who made preciosily | forever ridiculous! 'Bhis poem is another | indication of the backward-looking cast of M. Rostand's mind; uothing modern in- terests him and therefore as a modern he | cannot live. He is now at work on a | new play for Sarah Bernhardt: subject | ‘‘Persecution of | the Christians by Nero.” Apropos of this | the Critic’'s Lounger pertinently asks, Are | persons who have never heard of Quo | Vadis? | e | Richard Manefleld is going to spend | $30,000 in producing “Henry V. another would think hardly possible on the eve of | the twentieth century. “Henry V" is a | play which Shakespeare, as Mr. Shaw has | well said, ought to have been ashamed of himself for writing—a glorification of the | braggadocio epirit of one of the worst | | Kings that ever sat on the English throne, an appeal to the worst passicns of the ignorant and vindictlve mob.

For the “hero” of this war the poet strains every nerve to enlist the sympathy of his audience; with rude Elizabethans, to whom cock fighting and bear baiting still afforded exquisite pleasure, he may have succeeded; but I cannot imagine a modern audience—can you?—feeling anything but disgust for the “‘hero” who thus summoned to surrender the citizens of Harfleur. If not, why in a moment look to see The blind and bloody soldler with foul hand Defile the locks of your shrill shrieking daugh- ters; Your fathers, taken by the silver beards, And their most reverend heads dashed to the walls; Your naked infants spitted upon pikes; Whiles the mad mothers with their howls eon- fusad - Do break the clouds, as did the wives of Jewry At Herod's bloody-hunting slaughtermen! (Henry V, Act III, Scene 3.) Will Mr. Mansfield feel proud of himselt as he spouts or causes to be spouted these and yards of similar lines that Shake- speare has put into “Henry V"'? Does he think that $30,000 spent on tinsel, armor and paint can reconcile us to this kind of | clotted nonsense? Or has the success of “Ben Hur" convinced him thet If only you make the theater exactly like a circus you are bound to coin money and that the end, object and aim of the drama is to coin money? . Such detestable passages as that quoted above—and they occur tco often in the | almost | Elizabethan drama—make one sympathize with Voltaire when he called Shakespeare an Intoxicated barbarian and make one smile when the English wax eloquent over the alleged *‘immorality” of the French stage. There is noching in Corneille and Moliere combined—the only way of saying Shakespeare.in French —as bad in subject and in treatment as is “Henry V.” If Mr. Mansfield wants to do something at once unusual, classic and educative—and he is credited with having high ideals—why not try, in trans- lation, a masterplece—say “Cinna” or “Le Bourgeols Gentilhomme'—by one of these great writers? It would not cost one- tenth of $30,000; it could get along with little armor, less paint and no tinsel; it would, moreover, have the charm of ab- solute novelty for his audiences. o L In “Cinna” the theme—the clemency of Augustus—is as noble as the theme in ‘“‘Henry V"'—the shambles—ambition of the King—is ignoble, while in the strong scenes of “Le Bourgeols Gentilhomme,” to use Fielding’s phrase, the comic char- | acters are shown (not as in “Henry V") low jests, but by actions of their own. ¢ * The more one contemplates the | mass of werld-drama that Mr. Mansfleld has to draw from the more is ohe amazed at his investing a fortune in such a play as “Henry V.” Mr. Pope must really have by . | haa vision apoealyptic of this proddetion when he wrote these (slightly amended) lines: | The play stands still: hang action and dis- course! fly the scenes and enter foot and horse; Pageants on pageants in long order drawn Peers, Heralds, Bishops, Ermine, Gold and Lawn; The Champlon, too! and, to complete the jest, Our Harry's armor gleams on Richard's breast. sure, Democritus had died Had he beneld an audlenee gape so wide.
