DOESN'T IT PAY TO ADVERTISE?
Tlwit it pays to advertise in 1 lie columns of

tin- larp: attendance at, the Butler theater shows.
For two days .Mr. ( loodl'iiend hart a Iwo-thinls-of-a-eolunm

At last evening's Butler shows people wert
standing lar out in the street waitintr for ad-
mil lance, and the third show was as crowded
as the first, and the Bonanza was Ihe cause of the
lug crowds heing there.
THE- PHILOSOPHER IN POLITICS.
The resignation of Arthur ,). Balfour from the
leadership of the unionist-conservative partv in
Kngland is an event of -world-wide and historic.
interest. For .Mr. Balfour, though himself a
commoner, is in reality one of the best examples
of the slowly hut surely disappearing class of
hereditary legislators. Almost from birth Arthur
I'allour's career was foreordained; he was cradled
in polities and educated for statesmanship. In 1 1n
early stage ol his parliamentary career lie as
sci tijtl Ins distinct independence ol thought, only
iiaiKircapcd hy a cerUiin indolence m action. In
the Mis he was one of the brilliant group of
young lory aristocrats who sat on the cross
benches ol the house of commons, and, in com
pany with the more brilliant and agrcssive Kan
oupli i Iinrcliill, made things lively ' for both
. Iriend and foe. The brief hut sparkling history
or wnat came to he known as "the tourth party'
a nine group or critics rather than construe
lioiiists made its mark on English politics. But
l.ortf Randolph's ambition', tinctured with much
lb" same glory in sensation that marks his s,m
ninston s, political career, and the fact that tin.
l-ei.is ol power had fallen into the hands of Ha!
loir's uncle, the late Marquis of Salisbury, who
urn ii is ncpiiew in ingn place in the government
I roie up the brilliant'political coterie, and Artlui
B-iiiour during the last quarter of a centim
has been forced, willy-nilly, into the position of
leadership. During his uncle's long third pre
miership from 1S!)r-l!l()2, Balfour was his right-
hand, man and succeeded him as prime minister
retaining that position till six years ago, when
the conservatives went down to defeat. i
.Mr. Balfour made little, attempt to hide his
personal distaste tor polities; his high intellectual
attainments and his devotion to philosophy'- in
dined hjni otherwards; but throughout his long
and difficult duties he proved himself a faithful
public servant. He was a keen debater, with
ready wit, rapier-Jikc sarcasm, and the calmest
poise, an adroit and resourceful leader and an
able statesman.
Mis distinguished undo, Salisbury, preferred
to spend hours in his laboratory 1o cabinet meet
ings, and to Balfour the duties of a minister
or leader of the opposition were irksome in com
parison with the study of philosophy, while he
;tound pastime in psychical research and physical
exercise on the golf links. The English people
admired him. as they do all deserving aristoeats.
but naturally Balfour could not command the
popular following of a Lloyd-CJeorge or the daz
zling favor of a Disraeli. .Many of them regarded
him as a dilettante statesman, to which imputation
his arduous work and devotion to duty were eon
elusive answers.
But the passing of Hal four is mainly inter
esting to us at this distance in that it marks the
elimination of another, and probably the last,
for many years, at least, of the aristocrat names
from leadership in British polities. The Stanleys,
t'te Bentincks, the Russells and the Cecils no
l.ngcr govern the British empire; the house of
lords has become a subordinate appendage to the
commons, and the old aristocrats have made way
Mir the leaders, not bora in the purple but sons
(f ihe people.
The defendant in a divorce ease declares that
he only kicked his wife as a joke, but of course
women have no sense of humor and cannot appre
ciate a jest. If a woman were playfully stepped
upon by an elephant, she would probably complain.
Strange as it may seem, Chief Justice White
of the Cnited States supreme court pays no at
tention to Mr. Bryan's charge that he is the spe
cial representatives of the trusts.
THE PROSPECTOR.
Bishop has suddenly become the center of in
terest for the prospector. The prospector, you
have been told, is the man who seeks for the
pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow, lie does
that, hut he does more. He finds the pot of gold
at the foot of the rainbow of fortune, and there
by hangs the romantic tale of his life.
Romance is an inseparable word from the
story of the prospector. It alone carries all the
various elements which enter into the strange
drama of this odd genus homo of the desert and
the mountains. Jt holds together in proper pro
portions the mixture of tragedy and comedy;
of wealth and poverty; of excruciating hardships
and toil, with its reward of languorous ease and
luxury. In it are contained those extremes of
life, and those intermediate shadings that are
spelled out in the full meaning of this word,
and of all individual characters of American life,
the prospector typifies them in their fullest sense.
Because he is romantic, the prospector has
received full recognition in song and story. The
poet finds in him his most delightful theme,
and the novelist, his best material. For his pains
the prospector has achieved fame, and for his
work, meager remuneration, lie stands well with
the fraternity that wanders through Bohemia, and
with the elite circles of Ihe artistic, but with the
prosaic class that races after the nimble dollar,
and with the high-lights of commerce, he cuts but
a sorry figure. To them he is nothing but a
pawn, to be' used in the great chess game of
finance.
Financiers laugh at him, politicians ignore
hint, the government treats him with contempt.
He serves mankind unregarded, and usually un
rewarded. His best efforts are discounted by so
ciety, and money, or the government takes from
him the larger part of that which he finds.

UNCERTAINTLY OF CONDITIONS IN CHINA.
Can the Chinese set up and maintain a
stable government? This is the question whose
answer the civilized world anxiously awaits. If
the answer should prove to be in the affirmative
that, result would be most satisfactory to the
American people and perhaps to Europe, although
this is not so certain. A stable government in
China would mean an addition to the roll of the
world's great powers and the rise of a nation of
wonderful potentialities in war and peace. It
would once more disturb the balance of power, a
more or less nebulous institution which European
diplomacy watches with so much concern and
jealousy.
On the other hand, a condition of prolonged
disorder m a country now conspicuously weak
in a military sense would mean partition of the
empire, with the great European powers and
lapan all clamoring tor a share.
The present situation appears in considerable
measure to hinge on the personal weight and
iiitlueiu-e of Yitan Shih Kai. He appears to be a
sort or middieiilan. not committed to either side

rumors that the reolul ionuries are disposed to

It appears tu be certain that the Manchu
dynasty has practically committed suicide and
it is quite doubtful whether European interven

power. A paper constitution is promised 'and
parliamentary -government, but it is quite doubt
ful whether free institutions are possible or safe
for a people wholly unpracticed in such things.
There is. no doubt, a 'leaven of educated and in
telligent leaders, hut it is quite uncertain whether
they are able to command the obedience of the
semi-civilized masses. S. F. (-all.
BOYS FOTJHT IN CIVIL WAR.
When we wonder that even so many veterans
as there are survive the years that have passed
since the close of the Civil war we are reminded
that that terrible conflict was waged, for the
most part, by mere boys.
Figures from the war department published
in connection with the discussion of proposed
pension legislation show that the total enlistment
of 2.278,;"WS on the Union side practically all
were boys. Of this vast number only 118,000
w1 vcr 21 years of age. A round million
were between 18 and 21. Exactly liOO.OOO were
18; while (i00,000 of those who joined the ranks
to fight for the preservation of the republic were
only 17 years of ago; 100,000 were 15, and many
were as young as :, enrolled as drummer boys
and attendants upon commanding officers.
Such was the composition of the army that
fought under Grant. The soldiers who closed the
war with him at Appomatox were veterans then
and yet their average age was scarcely twenty-five
years. On the southern side the troops wert-' even
younger.
It is difficult to reconcile these facts with
the story of the struggle, and yet we must do so.
Boys fought the battles that have gone into his
tory, as the most desnernte eonfl ii'ts in ivli-
civilized armies have ever engaged. The veteran
ranks of the sixties were almost beardless.

Portugal has decided to spend $50,000,000 for
warships which can be of no utility save in put
ting capital in such form that an enemy may
readily destroy or confiscate it.
If it is true that a lot of American vagabond:
have crossed into Mexico to fight the government,
it is to be hoped that Mexico will induce them t
stay there.
Mr. Bryan charges a member of the snm-cino
