The next United States senate wiil be republican by at least 16 majority, against the present majority of 20. The present senate comntains 54 republicans and' 34 democrats, in a total of U 0 seats, there being two vacancies from Delaware. where the republican legislature failed to elect. The terms of 30 senators expire with the present congress. There is also a vacancy from- Michigan, caused by the death of Senator McMillan. Seven states have already elected senators to take their seats March 4, 1903. These are Maryland, Kentucky, lowa, Ohio, Louisiana. Vermont and Geergia. Ore-L-a_»u has already elected a republican

legislature which will c¢hoose a successor to Senutor Simon. . Twenty-five senaters will be elected by legislatures chosen at Tuesday’s elections, as follows: Indiana. Delaware (two seats), New Hampshire, North Dakota, Nevada. South DaKota, Illinois, Pennsylvania. California, Cohneecticut, New

York, North' Carolina, Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, Idaho, Arkansas, South Carolina; Florida, Alabaina, Utah, Celoradq, Washington and Missouri. Of these the republicans have surely carried 13. This insures 52 republicans and 34 democratsin the next senate. : : : :

Baron Tauchnitz, the German publisher, has made an interesting cofession. When the suggestion way made to him that his terms to writersmight be improved upon he answered by showing that the circulation ¢f books published by him is much smaller than is generally supposed.

@|| SUCCESS AND S~ | THE STAGE SRS e ARG ! e % '. - ORI oM | A By OTiS SKINNER, 4%”’;3 . American Stage Fawvorite. ‘5 PASSION for PLLAY —using the word in its more primi- , tive and childish meaning—seems to me a prime element ;%fi »., __§ for the actor e slmecess. . : " 4 g If he has not the power to project himself, heart and - JoP E soul, into an imaginary ‘situation, as the imaginative, child ‘!)éi does into its little drama of make-believe housekeeping, of &‘é}g“ fire engine heroics, of modern knight errantry or of cow6&‘ boy antics, he can scarcely hope to illusionize the world Pomreand Of adults—who are "UHII DREN BIGGER GROWNI™ ' In a word, the actor must not suffer the glow and fire of childlike IDEALITY to be smothered by the wet blanket of worldly experiencc. He must fan the spark of IMAGINATION into wholesome fervor and feed it with the fuel of that which is richest and best in poetry and letters. Without this he will lose the power of illusionizing himselfi—and with this lack he cannot hope to cast the spell of illusion over his audience. ' HE MUST, in a word, BELIEVE IN THE REALITY AND THE ACTUALITY OF THE CHARACTERS 'AND SCENES WHICH HE PORTRAYS AND MUST COMMUNICATE THIS BELIEF TO THOSE WHO WITNESS THEIR DELINEATIONS. ' : : To illustrate this fundamental factor of the-artist’s work let me say that Ido not believe Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwoodicould have depicted the character of Lazarre with half the effectiveness she has achieved had she not come thoroughly to believe that the historic Elezer Williams was in truth and fact the lost "dauphin -of France. It:is doubtful if she held this view when first her attention was turned to the picturesque legend of the hero of Green Bay’s pioncer days; but it is fair to presume that the natural inclination of her artistic temperament made “the‘\'vi:sh father to the thought,” and that before she had finished she was ready to defend this theory against all comers. Such, as I conceive It, must be the history of every successful actor in his aftitude to any character- which he -attempts to portray. ' . i : ' .- CLEANLINESS OF PERSONAL LIFE AND CHARACTER CAN SCARCELY FAII, TO BE AN ESSENTIAL IN THE CAREER -OF THE TRUEST ARTIST OF THE STAGE, for the reason that it simplifies his life, and rids it of the handicap of those limitations inevitably imposed by vices and temptations of whatever sort. In other words, the actor who is free from excesses of every kind has a mind clear and unhampered for the work in hand; he car better perceive -and appreciate the finer distinctions in his work and he can apply himself to his task with the directness, the faithfulhess and the punctuality which is necessary in every exacting profession. Then, too, he must have the moral and mental stamina to keep his feet under the knock-down blows of both success and defeat. And of the two, the former are by far the hardest to withstand. Under the glow of a first triumph, the artist is inclined to feel that his world has been won; but after the fourth, the fifth, or perhaps the fiftieth, success, he finds himself facing the crisis of his garcer. The first intoxication and glamour of his earlier triumphs are gone; the public has come to demand of him still better and stronger work znd he must meet that demand or suffer himself to be pushed off the boards. This, it seems to me, is the supreme test of the actor’s art : if he can pass this crisis and satisfy a public educated to expect progress in his work, as in all things with which it has become familiar his laurels will become as permanent as may be won in the field o} “the art-that dies.” - Between the period of his first successes and that of this final test ‘of his powers, must intervene a time filled with all the energy, perse_verance and hard work of which he is capable, and, if he is not equal ‘to an untiring devotion to his work, mastering with patient and minute study every detail and obstacle which caonfronts him; he will scarcely be able to achieve that later triumph which is the goal of all artistic effort and which places him among the chosen of his fellows.Then, also, he cannot hope to win success .without adequate fihysical endowments. While there are many instances in which men of small stature have triumphed over this handicap, and those with poor voices have compelled a favorable hearing, *he chances for public approval are against those who have been slighted by Naturs in these respects. . e -

THE TARIFF INIQUITY. Republicans Now Have a Chance to Fulfill Their Promise to Put ° Down the Trusts. : The republiecans having won control of congress for the next two years, or until after the national election of 1904, it is incumbent ¢n them to carry out the pledges made by the administration to legislate against the bad trusts. ‘ Everyone but the coal barons admits that the coal trustis a bad trust. Therefore the dutymust come off coal —rhard coal and soft coal. There :.;hn‘uld be no quibbling about that. - The administraticn has set its ban upon the meat trust by beginning legal proceedings against it. This may have been done for political effect, the diliatory way in which the suit against the beef merger has been prosecuted would warrant that conclusion. But the fact remains that the meat trust was dencunced by the administration, before electicn, as a bad trust. This will compel congress to remove the duty on cattle.and dressed meat. The steel trust was denounced by Mr. Babcock, chairman ofi the republican campaign committee. two years ago, and a bill was introduced by him to revise the tariff on steel and cther products of the trust, so it is conceded by at least one faction of the republican party that the steel trust is a bad one. If all republicans cannot be brought to think the steel trust is a bad trust. a small minority that do so

The book trust has been proved by indisputable evidence to'be one of the most rapacicus trusts; charging three times as much for its products nere as abroad. This should entitle it to be classed amongst the bad trusts ana the tarifl law amended accordingly. The list of bad trusts might be extended into hundreds, and a number cited who are selling cheaper abroad than here, but the few above deseribed should'at once receive the attention of congress and their protection be removed. : - The republicans have been declaring from every stump that they will reform the tariff, so that the trustsshall not continue to rob the people by charging them excessive prices for trust productions. They also said that the tariff must be reformed' by its friends, =0 that business interests may not suffer. and it is incumbent on them to carry out the promises made by their speakers and organs. This applies to the deminant or Roosevelt faction. and not to Senator Hanna and the old guard, whorefused to pledge themselves ‘and believe the present trust tariff should not be disturbed. In the meanwhile the. proposed tariff commission can be inaugurated and investigate the whele tariff and report for later action by cengress,

——Secretary Shaw continues to insist that the tariff is only a fourth cousin to the trusts at best, and that the two families have had nothing to do with each other in years.—Detroit Free Press. fi

-——The Dingley tariff is the mother of nearly all the monepolies, and it fosters and coddles the few that it did not actually create. It is the parent of the famine prices that make all bragging about prosperity a bitter mockery to the great body of the people. It must be revised and reduced to release them from the intolerable tyranny of the trusts.—Baltimore Sun. .

PROSPERITY OF THE TRUSTG. A Specimen Case of Reckless Extrave agance Made Possible by Mo~ . nopoly Profits. It is rather disheartening to the honest, law abiding citizen to' hear about the antics of some of the trust magnates and their contempt for the common people. The sayings and doings of coal trust magnate Baer are still in the minds of all, and now comes Schwab, the president of the steel trust, making an unedifying spectacle of himself in foreign parts. Thisis his second offense of that kind. About a year ago he startled the gamblers at Monte Carlo by hiz monstrous gambling at that resart. His latest efforts ior notoriety are thusdescribed by the Chicago News: -

“He has thrown away his money reckiessly, ostentatiously, and senselessiy. One repert says that ‘he is buildicg a house to cost two aud a half million dollars. Another credits him with purchasing an entire summer resort. He has given a church to a town which his father honored by living in it. He Las bought yachts, and automobiles and made silly displays of regal boumty to servants, beggars and freaks.” All this money that he is squandering in Europe was wrung from the toil of the laborers who work at the furnaces of the steel trust and through the extvaordinary profits allowed that, corporation by the Dingley tariff law. The people pay the piper while

Schwab .dances; and yeét the republicans as a-party, have declined to reform this tariff. which protects the trusts that rob " the people -of the money that is squandered in the way above menticned. That such. a gambler and spendthrift sheuld be entrusted with the enormous business and millions of the steel trust is ah anomaly in the business world that iz even more wosderful than the ereation of the trusts themselves. The end of such a career is as sure to be disastrous as the breakdown of the frust itself with its ovéreapitalization and subsidy profits. The people are intent on removing the latter, when the whole house will tumble without much warning. ROOSEVELT’S OPPORTUNITY. o The President Can Now Set to Work . to Remove the Shelter of the Trusts.

If President Roosevelt is really ib favor of tariff reform. and of removing the shelter that the trusts enjoy, he can easily accomplish it. If he does not call cecngress together, the ‘tariff fight will be postponed until the regular| session, and as the organiza‘tion of congress will probably not be dompleted until after theé holidays, ne bill can be reported until 1904. .That being the year of the national election, partisan politics will be more likely to be considered than the general welfare. and no legislation on the tariff might result. The whole tarift and trust fight would thus be made the -paramcunt issue in the paticnal election. The peaple would be robbed by the trusts for two more years and the foreigners would have the benefit.

Can the republican party and Presig : ; i dent Roosevelt afford to face such a cendition in the naticnal eleceticn? -

As a political ecndition’it would be welcomed by the democrats, their opponent would be on the'defensive from the start. and the full enormity of the protection tariff wouid be brought plainiy to the view of the voters. But from the highter motives of the general welfare the democrats will welcome a special session of congress in the hope of accomplishing a reform of the tariff as far as.a republican senate will allow.

——Senator Cullom, of Illinois, has also found the way the tariff wind is blowing and has veered around with it within 48 hours. He is now against tariftf revision, but in favor of a commission. What he will be for before this reaches the eyes cf the readeris mere guess work. It is getiirg to be difficult to locate a republican leader these days. The only ong there seems to be nc quibble about is Henderson, He iz absolutely opposed to changing the tariff,

.——The trusts are liable to eriminal prosecutions under the Jaw and their managers to fine and imprisonment. This part-of the law has been ignored and set aside, but under the same law workingmen have been fined and im= prisoned under government .y ine junction, because their way <f fGghting the trusts was inconvenient to the trusts.—Pittsburg Post.
