The development promises something like a revolution in the management of the road. It gives hope that hereaiter the energies of that giant corporation are to be devoted exclusively to business, and that it is not to intérfere in politics or be a source of support to corrupt politicians. How great would be the change in the affairs of rnia brought abecut by the eliminagion of rail- bosses from politics no man can fully estimate. Neither can we fully foresee what benefits would flow from the direction of the attention of the railroad managers exclusively to matters of business and the mprovement of ‘the transportation facilities of that great continental dine. It is known the corpora- tion has been a corrupting force in politics, and that t has been negligent of the industrial and commercial interests of To have all that changed—to n given to railroad business and no encouragement or aid given to political bosses would be a consummation the very promise of which fil's the State w by commerci ate have full atten h expectations of a new velopment and by political reform. The hopes of Californians for such {esul(s from the ge in the management of the road are not without good reasons to sustain them. Mr. Hays is known as yad man. He is not and has never been a He has made his way upward in his ¥ strict attention to business. His career he day he began in one of the humblest employ- ments of railroad work to that on which he was se- lected to be president of the Southern Pacific Com- pzny has been a brilliant illustration of success at- ed by legitimate work done with a strict fidelity to every duty. The appointment of such a man can rdly mean anything else than that the control oi he road has now passed into the hands of men who ntend to use it for business purposes solely and not politics. Such has been the record of those men fe past. Is it not reasonable to expect they will bs true to that record in the future? cha in What a prospect of coming good glows before Cali- | | fornia in the promise of this change! The elimina- tion of the railroad from politics would in itself be an enormous gain to all the interests of the city. It is not necessary to go far back in the past to show the evil that railroad politicians have inflicted upon San Fran- cisco and the State. The present campaign furnishes illustrations enough. The people are aware that a year ago the Republicans of this city drove Crimmins and Kelly and their base following from the councils of the Republican party. There was then every reason for expecting those men would never again have the | ability to place one of their tools on a Republican ticket or to defeat honest Republicans when nomi- nated for office. That expectation was disappointed by the Southern Pacific Company. W. F. Herrin, the so-called head of the law department of the road but | in reality its political manager, brought Crimmins and Kelly from the Mint saloon and from the slums of | politics and placed them again in a position of power. Herrin even raised Kelly to a position from which he arrogated the right to name the chairman of the Re- publican county convention and forced the nomina- tion for office of some of the most notorious of rail- road tools. Such offenses have been not only 2 wrong to the Republican party, but a positive harm to the State. | There is therefore much to rejoice over in the changs | which promises either the retirement of Herrin or at least an order to him which will compel him to give his attention to the law business of the road; to leave him no further time nor authority to do politics with Crimmins and Kelly: no further power to use the railroad influence to elect a disreputable man to the United States Senate; no more railroad money to use in supporting corrupt men in politics; no privilege of any kind to neglect his duties to the business of his cffice in order to fix slates for slum politicians. That much of benefit we may expect from the new management of the Southern Pacific. Mr. Charles Melville Hays comes to us like the advance agent of ity and political purity, so far as the raiffoad is concerned. Should the promise be ful- filled he will have a welcome that will make his new home dearer to him than any other he has ever had. OUR SUCCEES IN CUBA. EONARD WOOD, Governor of Cuba, was re- cently in New York on his way to Washington, —= and while there was interviewed upon the situa- tion in the island, giving a report which will be grati- fying to every American who has a genuine sympathy | with the Cubans in their desire for prosperity and in- dependence. With the exception of the recent increase ondition of the people is prom- ising of good results, and it is to be noted that not- withstanding the fever the death rate of the island is less than for many years. Governor Wood attributes the increase of the fever | | to the number of emigrants from Spain, who, being unacclimated and not immune from the disease, fall victims to it. This Spanish immigration is one of the It appears the Span- Governor Wood says: Spanish immigration has been very heavy, no fewer than 40,000 individuals having arrived since last Oc- tober. Railway facilities now completed will enable us to ship many of them into the interior.- Of course niany will stay in Havana, finding employment in the warehouses and factories, and we must expect to find | cases of yellow fever among them.” | The fact that so many immigrants are pouring into | the island is itself a proof that good government exists there. It is a remarkable tribute to American ad- | ministration and an evidence that we are making the island more attractive than it ever was before even to the Spanish themselves. / The Cubans are busily engaged in preparing for the constitutional convention, which is to assemble on November 5. With the work of the convention the United States Government will have nothing to do. Governor Wood says: “At the convening of the dele- gates I shall limit my function to attendance long enough to declare the convention open. After the briefest word to that effect I shall abdicate and leave the delegates to their own devices. Tt will indeed be a Cuban convention, having its own sergeants-at-arms and all other necessary attendants. There will be ab- | solutely nothing that can be tortured into the shape of American coercion.” The most gratifying portion of the Governor’s statement is that referring to the reported antipathy of the Cuban people toward the United States. The Bryanites have frequently declared the existence of such Concerning that phase of the situation the Governor era marked “The | as complete as it is lamentable, that there is | 2 president, with the establishment of his home and | distrust of the United States on the Sart of Cabans: & | few malcontents there are, as there must be always | and in every country and under any conditions. But they are a mere handful, and there can be no greater mistake than to interpret the ravings of these idiots | ac an expression of Cuban thought and sentiment. | The majority of the Cuban people—the Cuban people, | I may roundly say, the exceptions are so insignificant —are friendly in the highest degree to the United States, to the administration and to the resident repre- sentatives of the Government. With their friendliness | & perfect confidence in the purpose of the United States to redeem every promise and unqualified con- tentment with present progress.” | Such is the official report that comes to us from the |island. Tt shows a condition of affairs almost without paralle]l in history. When we recall the long strife between the Cubans and the Spaniards and the fear- ful destruction of property and the abandonment of industry that marked the course of that”strife there is surely something to be proud of in the fact that within so short a time our Government has established or- der, laid the foundations of prosperity, prepared the way for independence and rendered the island so | fourishing that even the Spaniards themselves are | flocking to it in order to share in its prosperity. ITS PROPHET. TEMMANY @aND | RYAN, in the exnberance of his delight over B the great parade and tumultuous welcome which Tammany gave him on his recent visit to New York, burst out with the exulitant cry, “Great is Tam- many, and Croker is its prophet.” When he uttered those words he gave notice to the American people | that should he be elected to office Croker would be a power in the administration. Thus Tammany be- comes a national issue. It is no longer a question of | its control of the city of New York only. Itis a question whether it shall be permitted to dominate the politics of the whole nation. The importance of this new issue with which Bry- anism now confronts the people was strikingly pre- sented by the Hon. Frederick W. Holls in his address | on Friday evening. Commenting upon Bryan's talk of the menace of imperialism Mr. Holls said: “The danger of imperialism is real. If we should find any- where in this nation a section dominated by the will | of one man; if that cne man should be low and cor- | rupt; if that section should be a great city and its organization a great fzctor in national politics, then. my friends, you have imperialism. You find it with Mr. Croker and his vile Tammany crowd. You find | it in the men who glory in the fact that they live by political blackmail, off the dives of New York City; in the organization of which Mr. Bryan had the efirontery to tell the people of Syracuse, ‘Great Tammany, and Croker is its prophet.’ there is the danger of imperialism The direful effects of Tammany government ia New York City were recently set forth by Franklin | Matthews in Harpers’ Weekly. After pointing out } the waste of money by official negligence and corrup- tion, and the encouragement given to crime which paid blackmail into the Tammany treasury, he went | on to say: “Go further into the Tammany control of | crime in New York. The report of the magistrates shows that in 189 there was an increase of felonies over 1808 of 1244, and that in 1809 there was an in- crease in grand larceny cases over the previous year of 610. Now look at these facts: The excise arrests fell off 326, and were the smallest in number simce | 1884. Is Tammany good to liquor sellers who break the laws? And why, do you suppose? The number cf arrests for keeping gambling-houses was smaller than in any year since 1885. Is Tammany good to the gamblers? And why? Ask the policy game keepers who put up $100,000 to secure the election of | Mayor Van Wyck. The number of arrests for the violation of the sanitary code in 1809 was 284, com- pared with 519 in 1898, and less than in any year since 1885. Does this explain the increase in the death rate in the East Side wards? Then look for the ar- rests for keeping disorderly houses in recent years: 1805, 488; 1806, 474: 1807, 506; 1808 (Tammany rule), 237; 1809, 180. And yet the town is wide open, no- | toriously wide open. compared with the days of the | | Strong administration.” That is a part of the record of the effects of Tam- | many imperialism in New York, and from it the pub- lic can form an estimate of the nature of the issue which Bryan’s devotion to Croker now raises before | the people of the whole country. Crokerism has been | added to free silver, free trade and the assault on the | Supreme Court. The new issue is as portentous as | any of the former ones, and furnishes an additional | reason why all good citizens, without respect to party, should vote against the man who cries in pride, | “Great is Tammany, and Croker is its prophet.” | B — | John M.

S. Stone & Co.), sets forth some interesting views on the present condition of the drama. He would scoff at Henry Arthur Jones' com-| tention that there is a renascence of the | drama in England. Art in that country, says Mr. Moore, is hopelessly dead; only empire-making is alive. “Art is produced in the youth of a nation, when the nation is small. when national enthusiasm is awakening and visions draw into an in- tellectnal focus and the intellect of every one is akin." Greece after the expulsion of the Persians, Holland after the expul- sion of the Spaniards, England after the Armada are examples of this. ¢ * * But to-day art has left England, France, Rus- sia and Germany. according to Mr. Moore. Where it will appear next he doesn’t know, but he hopes it will be in Ireland. Abandoning London, then, as eternally | materialized, Mr. Moore and a few of his friends have founded the Irish Literary Theater in Dublin, where art is to be practiced as much as possible for the joy 3 | | TERARY BY L DU PONT SYLE promised Millicent he will not go to the meeting; Kirwan goes alone, and is ac- cused by another Alderman of trying to make himself leader in Dean’s absence.

For the | exclusive commercial privileges thus quired Southbaven had agreed to pay & large sum of money, but had failed to keep its agreement. The corporation of Northhaven (the Irish members of Parlia- ment) is torn with internal dissensions. Some In the pay of Southhaven oppose all legal proceedings to recover the money; others wish to recover the money, but differ as to the means; others, agaln, | are jealous of each other. The meeting of the Town Council with which the play opens is Bedlam let loose. Order is finally | brought out of this chaos by the persua- sive eloquepce of one Jasper Dean, re- | cently elected an Alderman. He is that born leader of men for whom Northhaven has long waited. Inspired by the wisdom and spirituality of his friend Kirwan (ge nius of the Keltic race) he unites the jar- ring factions, who pass with but one dis- senting vote (Lawrence, Traitor and Spy) | a resolution directing that immediate le- | £al proceedings be taken for the recovery of the money. | The ladies of Northhaven, for reasons | social and millineristic, are devoted ad- herents of Southhaven.

Finally they call to their ald Millicent Fell, a rich and beautiful Southhaven girl, | | to whom Dean is engaged. The play then | resolves itself into a contest between Kir- | wan and Millicent for the soul of Dean.

But the cause I have abandoned, is it lost forever? Can I not return? KIRWAN. The cause is not lost, but the next op- portunity will come to a new man. Wk et This speech really ends the play: that Mr. Moore should not have perceived this, but should have continued his dialogue through another page of anti-climax, shows that the spirit of the novelist is strong within him and the spirit of the dramatist weak. He has not written a well-constructed play, but he has put to- gether an Inferesting series of conversa- tions absolutely devoid of humor but con- taining some excellent strokes of satire and some passages that are even poetical. As an {llustration of the latter, take the following: DEAN. But the destiny of the (Keltic) race— what does that really mean? KIRWAN. That which is you, which is me. which is leading us. It is a quality which never ceases among us; each of us bears his spark of the magical power; now and then a spark blazes up Into a flame and the fire fades down into a spark; but the last spark always remains. * * * The gods (ot our race) live enfolded in the serenity of the hills.

The nime | little plays in this book divide themselves into two classes—those which treat of | romantie or medieval themes and those | which treat of realistic or modern them The former. of which Rohan the Si may be taken as a type, seem to me forced and often stiited, nor is there thing to distinguish from prose the blank verse passages scattered through them. The latter, especially “In Far Bohemia™ and “A Bit of Instruction.” are clearly and vividly written, showing & good eye for character and a steady hand in apply- ing the rules of a well-learned if some- what conventional stagecraft To amateurs who have an ambition to rise above the lend-me-five-s! of one-act play this book will ing, for it will afford them opportunmity to do some serious work that may inter- est their friends instead of sending them to sleep. Nearly all the plays call for only short casts. “A Bit of Instruction,” for instance, requires only two men, and “In Far Bohemia” but two women and | one man. The title of the book is unfortunate and | misleading. “Po’ White Trash™ suggests | immediately an olla podrida of negro dia- | lect such as the magazines have been dish- ing up and calling literature.
