Dowie is probably a pious frand and may be doing harm to people who have but little sense. But an incarnation of the fool-killer is necessary sometimes, and if this New Zealander is no rore than that he may be doing something useful.

It comes this ime from Senator Allison, one of the most conserva- tive and thoughtiul ctatesmen of the country. He is not a man who speaks without duly weighing his words. He is not an alarmist. He is known to be a sincere as well as an able man, and the intelligence of the country cannot be indifferent to his warning that | if Bryan be elected we shall have to confront all the dangers involved in the free coinage of silver, In discussing the subject in a recent address at the opening of the Republican campaign in Iowa Sena- tor Allison began by pointing out that there are to be elected this winter a Senator in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Utah and. Idaho, and that if Bryan carry those States it is almost sure the Bryanites will control their Legislatures and elect their Senators. He then went on to say: and 1y go to the polls vote for Bryan, who both Democracy and Populism On the other hand Republ calamity has ceased to be attractive in Kansas, and that those who contented themselves with abstaining from wvoting for the howlers two years ago will this time come out and vote against them. Of the prosperity of the State there is no doubt. Tt is said the increase of deposits in the Kansas banks since the doleful days of 1896 has been more than $25,000,000. Mortgages representing many millions have been satisfied. It is roughly estimated that the wheat crop of this year is worth $60,000,000. - The value of livestock has almost doubled since 1895. The combined value of livestock and agricultural producrs has increased in the period to the extent of $112,058,- 207. The yield of the wheat fields in certain Kansas | counties this year has been almost incredibly enor- mous. The Topeka Capital says that the combined wvalue of the last three wheat crops of Sumner County equals the value of all the farm land in the county. The yield this year is estimated at $4,500,000, or an average of $1000 for every family. If townspeople be cans are convinced that by eighteen majority. Senator Kyle of South Da- kota, being absent and unpaired, did not vote, though having a consistent free silver record in the Senate.

The Democratic Senator from Delaware voted for free silver, and if the Democrats shall carry that State, where there is now one vacancy, it is fair to suppose that the Senator elected would be for free silver also.” It will be seen from that statement that the silver question is as important now as it was in 1896. The election of Bryan would be accompanied by the elec- tion of a Democratic House of Representatives, and, Cecil Mark, president of the Board of Education, says that no teachers have been elected to the School Department during his tenure of office. He is prob- @bly approaching the opinion of everybody else that the women he has smuggled into the department were never elected in any reputable sense of the word.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTuUbmic with the Senate under control of men who would act with the Bryanites on the silver question, even if they were opposed on everything else, it would be in the power of Bryan to at once force silver coinage and precipitate financial ruin upon the country. 4 Men of the type of Carl Schurz and Bourke Cockran, who are supporting Bryan because of their opposition to “imperialism,” overlook the fact that Bryan as President would have less power to aban- don the Philippines than to overthrow the gold stan- dard. As The Call has repeatedly. pointed out, the Southern Democrats are almost unaninously in fa- vor of retaining the islands, and their representatives in Congress are all for free silver. Thus free coinage is more vitally involved in the contest than is im- perialism. Bryan may dodge the issue before the people, but he is known to be almost a fanatic on the silver coinage proposition, and were he to become President he would care little about the Philippine question in comparison with that of overthrowing what he calls “the cross of gold.” From the number of “good Democrats” who are re- fusing to support Bryan it would seem that in bygone years the old party had more virtue in it than it ever showed in public any signs of possessing. S ment of facts showing that the nation and the people are rapidly improving in their conditions, that evil is diminishing and good increasing, i while far from being prosperous the Italians are never- theless making rapid strides toward prosperity and all that it implies. Such a statement is furnished by Salvatore Cortesi in the current number of the Inter- national Monthly. It supplies ample reason for the .sanguine hopes of Italian patriots that their country | will soon be rid of some of the heaviest of its bur- dens, and that its jmprovement will go torward with { increasing rapidity. ! Cortesi recalls attention to the fact that it is only thirty years since Italy became a united nation and | that it is not fair to judge the Italian people by the standards of others who for a long time have had the advantages of an independent national government. THE NEW ITALY. O much in the way of evil report comes irom extreme poverty exists. Thus he notes that in cer- tain localities the peasants eat only chestnuts, many workingmen have to work from fourteen to sixteen hours a day; some of the men receive only twelve cents a day, while the women get but four cents. Moreover, he says the Italian people pay higher taxes than any other, amounting altogether to $437,000,000 per annum, which makes an average of $15 for each inhabitant, while there is a public debt averaging $035 1 000,000. To these conditions of distress he attributes most of the crimes of the people, which he admits are of truly an alarming number. , Conceding such evils, Cortesi points out there is | another side to the picture. | five years the railway lines have increased threefold and now cover about 10,000 miles. Public primary | schools, which in 1870 were 32,384, with about 1,000,- 000 pupils, now exceed 60,000, with more than 3,000,- | 000, while the average of illiterates has fallen to about 40 per cent. Along with those improvements there | has been a marked increase in manufacturing indus- try and in commerce. It is noted that the trade oi Genoa, which in 1870 yielded customs and port duties | amounting to $2,500,000, has so much augmented that the amount yielded in 1899 was in excess of | £20,000,000. Wise sanitary laws and the generally improving | conditions of the people have brought down the death rate in Rome from 41.8 per thousand in 1872 to 15.1 in 1899. Other large cities of the kingdom show an | equal betterment in that respect. Finally it is noted that with the increasing prosperity and improved velopment and self-respect. There are fewer beggars than there were of old, and those that remain are mainly in the poorer and less advanced districts of tha south. Taking all things into consideration the writer says no other nation in Europe, even among the most learned, rich and civilized, has obtained in so short a time more satisfactory results. He concludes by say- ing: “Historic traditions, climate, education and heredity are conducive to the lack in the Italians of certain qualities which the Anglo-Saxons and Ger- mans possess, such as patience, calm tenacity and a spirit. of association or combination, but they have instead vivacity, adaptability, intellectual acuteness and a less inclination to alcoholism. Such natural gifts should be sufficient for their complete renais- sance.” BT — Somebody must have invited the iceman to the ses- sion of National Democratic clubs at Indianapolis. 5000 frostbitten citizens is a shrinkage worthy of note. o e / THE WEEKLY PRESS, HEN the daily newspapers of the country be- Wgan to illustrate the news by pictures of a high order of merit it was believed by many persons that weekly illustrated papers would soon be driven from the field. The expectations would have been ful- filled had the weeklies contented themselves with their existing standard of literature and illustration. Those that did not improve have been driven from the field, but a considerable number of them advanced with the advancing dailies and have kept the favor and sup- port of the public. In fact, one or two new publica- tions of the kind entered the contest, and by reason of wide-awake, energetic and skillful management succeeded in making themselves known among the foremost periodicals of the country. In studying the improvement of the illustrated weeklies of the United States no better example can be taken than “Collier's Weekly,” a comparatively new enterprise, but one which has already made itself familiar to cultured readers in all parts of the civilized world. In its letterpress, its illustrations, its cartoons, its editorials, and, in short, in all departments of its work, it has accomplished a gznmne triumph, and Americans can with satisfaction compare it with the best weeklies of the foremost literary and artistic na- tions of the globe. Such success achieved in the face of great compe- tition is an evidence that the crowding of the field in any department of American activity does not mean the suppression of an existing enterprise whose man- agers are capable of keeping up with the times. Com- petition has no other effect than that of stimulating men to stronger, higher and better efforts. Those who shrink from such efforts are crowded out, but others advance and flourish. Collier's Weekly, therefore, serves as a very good object lesson in the way of en- couragement to enterprising men, not only in journal- ism, but in all lines of business. There is ample de- mand in the United States for anything of high ex- cellence, and those who can produce it have nothing to complain of in the present or to fear in the future, 1 Italy it is gratifying to have an authentic state- | and that | He admits that wages are low and that in many places | for each citizen, not to speak of city debts and mort- | | gages on private lands, which amount to over $1,400,- | During the last twenty- From a promised attendance of 100,000 enthusiasts to | Uy 1YUv, EW things can be more discouraging to an actor of ability and ambition than to find himself cast for parts that tend to degrade rather than to upHft him in his profession—parts that are stuffed with horse-play to excite the vacant laughter of the ignorant or with sentimentalism to stir the silly sym- pathy of the neurotic.

Relieved from active compe- tition by the de r. Miller's company from the Columbia, the manag- ers of these theaters would have but fol- lowed the plainest dictates of common sense by putting on their very best plays at this time. They would thus have se- | cured a fair proportion of that publie | which cheerfully paid between $75.000 and | $50.000 in ten weeks for the privilege of | seeing Mr. Miller's repertoire. Instead of | this, they have given us in this time but | one play—“The Masqueraders"—that | could draw to thelr theaters the class of people that it is best worth a manager's while to cater to. They have been put- ting artists like Miss Van Buren, Mr. Rey- | nolds, Mr. Montaine and Mr. Howard Hall into roles unworthy of a ten-twenty-thirty | combination. What a waste of good ma- terial! | _If it be true that misery loves company, San Francisco need not grieve alone— good material is being wasted in New York also. When it was announced that John Drew was to play Richard Carvel, all who know the book and the man must | have felt a thrill of sympathy for the unlucky actor. That sympathy is needed, as witness this paragraph from the pen of Mr. Norman Hapgood (Bookman for October): “* * * The interest lent by the wide circulation of the novel is increased by the novelty of seeing one of our best actors of socicty and comedy drama fixing himself up as a wooden hero, tossing about common humanity and thwarting villains. John Drew plays the part with infinitely more art than is usually wasted on such material. His first entrance alone, superbly graceful, is worth more than the | play entire. His skill throughout enables | him to carry oft the rhodomontade as if | he had no tion how absurd it is. | His stiiking intellectual face, with mobile clearness picturing every hint of thought i or feeling that the dummy situations offered, de me wonder how he valued such success.” We m: e sure tlmt Mr. Drew values such success at precisely its true worth— nothing. | When comes that happy day when some American millionaire shall wake up to a realization of the monstrous waste im- plied in *“John Drew as Richard Carvel” and shal us an Endowed Theater w such waste would never be toier- ated?

And uitry (compared with M. Claret g men) is as turgid and mechani as M. Rostand’s drama.” D | Germany stands undoubtedly to-day the first country of the world in the arts of | music and war and in the science of phil- | hy (strange collo: unless France bestirs tion!). Moreover, 1f her rival will | soon wrest from her that pre-eminent | place in the art of the drama which she | has held =o easily for the last two hun- | drea ears. The French, for all | their amazing excellence, are so convinced that they have the best of everything in their own country that they are in dan- | that she has | | the best that has been thought and said in | the drzama of the world. To illustrate. When the actors of the Comedie Francaise visit London it is rare to find in their repertoire plays by eny other than French authors. When a German company visits London—as will ‘the company of the Deutsches Theater | next month—we find in their repertoire plays by the great writers of the world— | Shakespeare, Goethe, Bjornson, Heine, Lessing, Ibsen, Schiller, Hauptmann, Su- dermann and Echegaray. Here are rep- resented by their very best England, Ger- | many, Norway and Spain. In this illus- | trious roll we notice the omission of writers but from one important nation— | yet this is precisely the one you cannot | afford to omit in such a classification— | France. | gt It was one of Schopenhauer's favorite | sayings (I think T have quoted it before | |in another connection) that everything has | been duly praised, everything has been duly cursed, and that the only things ieft | are questions of style. To those who have a tolerable acquaintance with the great poets this saying of the sage of Frank- fort comes as a home truth whenever they | pick up a book of modern verse; the best things have all been said in the best way, | and mest of them are merely being sald over again in a poorer way. Sometimes the thought is Inverted; sometimes it is | paraphrased; sometimes it is uncon- sciously echoed. Curious instances of the | first and third of these methods are to be | found in even so original a work as Mr. | Phillips’ play, “Paolo and Francesca” (re- | viewed last Sunday). Thus, in the fourth ‘ Canto of the Princess Tennyson wrote: Thy face across his fancy comes And gives the battle to his hands; A moment, while the trumpets blow, He sees his brood about thy knee; The next like fire he meets the foe And strikes him dead for thine and theel In the soliloquy with which Paolo closes act II we have this inverted: A drum! Oh, there is still a world for man! I'll lose her face in flashing brands, her voice In charging cries; I'll rush into the war. Again, in the “Anclent Mariner” Cole- ridge wrote: The sun’s rim dips; the stars rush out; At one stride comes the dark;— ‘With this compare Paolo’'s exclamation (act III) on leaving Pulci’s shop: Unbar the door! How the night rushes in!— ‘Where the whole force of the line (and 'tis a forceful one) depends upon the use of the very same word which Coleridge uses to describe the same phenomenon. Yet the following, so far as I know, is entirely original; it is, to my thinking, the most beautiful thing In the whole pi beautiful as Keats' There is a budding morrow in midn!
