PROTECTION A3 AN ISSUE
The Ilallllnori' Hun Is not "lire I "it
tho tnrlff Is a live Issue at leant no' ;
so ilomliinllng nn Issue as would en
able the Democratic party to mak"
a winning campaign upon it next
enr. .Mr. Cleveland puts legall.il
spoliation as th pramount lusue
lirfore the country far eiccedlng In
Importance tho Issue of rnllronil regit-
lAtlon to which many iwlltlclcins are
hot- ilevntlng their ntteiillun. He de
clares protection to b tlie father of
tntsts w herns other statestnen are
stiro It I the mother of trusts. .Mr.
Ilryan denounces protection with
inucli vehemence and declares Iho
time lias come whun tho American
peopio must nrlso ntld crush It.
Why should there be nny inner-
enco ninoug Democrnts ns lo tho
Imminence of the tariff Issue? It Is
not perhaps n (pioatlou iimiii which
nil Democrat agree but It is snfs
to say that &0 t cent of tno Hum-
ocrata favor tho prlnclilo of tarlrf
for revenue only nnd whtm 90 per
cent of thu Democrats are in aeoorn
there Is more than a fighting chance
for vlctury.
Wo do not underestimate tho dif-
ficulty that would confront in If Si..

Ills faculty lr leadership Is marvel-
ous. He can Invest any cause which
he may espouse with tho dignity nil')

ever fallacious and empty It may be.
He Is at all times spectacular Inter-
esting periunslve and earnest nnd In
addition the politician - of tho cen-
tury. Nevertheless when wo oonip tv
think about It that old tariff Is still
tho monumental Iniquity of thu ngu;
It Is fnther or mother as you please
of monopolies extravagance graft
and corruption and It broods poverty
anil mls:y fur the millions. Why
lliould not the Democracy stress It

Of course thero are other Issues.
I'or Instance tho policy of Imperial'
Um jls less attractive now than ever
before. Il Is certain that 111 time tho
people will almost uiiniiimuusly con
demn IL The tiemcndous cost of tho
l'ederal government due In a largo
degree to unbridled extrnvagnnov in

PLIGHT OF THE ACTOR.
Behind the Scenes He li In a Mcnner
Prisoner.
In n way behind the scenes Is n pris-
on. It Is surely ono of the very few
places where Intelligent men nntl wo-
men ore locked In their place of work
and whero no mesnge from tho out
side world U allowed to reach them
There Is n tradition that nctur folk aro
of unusually emotional teuiperame.it
and If therefore n telegram Is received
at tho stage door It Is never delivered
until after tho performance. The mes-
sage might lie nn Invitation to supper
or It might announce that tho actor's
favorite brother has been hanged or It
might be nn offer In a stock company
to play twelve times a week or It
might tell tho r.ctor that he was the
father of twins or that bis wife would
rtlo without cooing him ngaln unless
lie enmo nt once to her liedslde but nil
of this Information Is supposed not to
ho good fo.- the actor's emotional dis-
position and tho telegram Is therefore
given tho same distinction ns the
"mash" note and kept until nfter tho
performance Is llnWhed. It cannot he
said that tho nctor's emotional tllspo-
oltlon U very n-r!ouIy considered be-
yond the cast Iron rnlo In regard to
telegrams. III.i comfort and Intelli-
gence h-ive been Mlghtly flattered In
a few theaters of very recent date but
for the mo t part the condition of
behind the scenes In moit plnyhoitroH
!s net calculated to breed particularly
high thoughts of nn.v kind. As a matter
of fact he Is treated llttlo better than
when he was only a "strolling" player
a gypsy several centuries ago.
