A Play Within a Play.

“A play within a play,” this sounds odd, though it is not; on the contrary, it is a good, wholesome, hnmorousstory of American life and without a single weird situation or enigmatio line. To satisfactorily explain one must toil the Story of the play. An actor who had taken to drink on account of the opposition made to him by the parents of his fiancee -goes to the bad-is no longer able to hold an engagement and eventually beoomea a tramp. One day he drifts into a little Indiana town on the front end of a passenger train; farther baok, but on the inaide of the ooaohes, there is a small theatrical company, tramp and company get off at the same town, the latter from choice, the former by the aid of the brakeman’s boot. The company is billed to play in the town a week. The aeoond night of the engagement the leadman "is called home by the death of his wife; there is no one to fill his plaoe and oonaternation reigna in the little band of actors and actresses; finally it is learned that the tramp has been an aotor, and furthermore has played the lead in the "Two Orphans” with Kate Claxton, This is the play they are to pat on this night; the tramp plays the part, meets -the loading woman of the company, his former sweetheart. The complications that arise form the ground work to the plot of the greatest soenio drama of recent years, Elmer Walters’s "A Millionaire Tramp.” The third aot shows not alone the exterior of a country theatre, bat the interior as well with the audience seated, ourtain up and the play in progress, an effeot that haa never been accomplished heretofore.

WHAT INDIANA EDITORS ARE SAYING

The Bilver Shrinkage. Instead of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to 1, we are witnessing the free and unlimited shrinkage of silver at about the same ratio. The Laporte Republican says: “Ten years ago, or Just prior to the enactment of measures completely excluding silver from further mintage Jn the United States, the bullion value of the silver dollar was about 67% cents. The people and the government hold in their possession silver bullion and dollars aggregating n nominal or coinage value of Just about $500,000,000, and the present market value on this metal Is about 33% cents on the dollar. Here, then, is a shrinkage in the value of this mass of property within ten years of 34 cents on the dollar, or $170,000,000. As a nation, we are worth In tangible property Just so much the less, because of the fall in the price of silver. Other nations have also suffered, but not to any such extent as the United States.”

Wiping Out the Debt.

The state debt of Indiana is now only $2,887,615.12. By maintaining the present levy for state purposes, this debt can soon be wiped out. The credit of* the state is all that could be desired. It is a good idea, however, to wipe out the debt when the country is, in the enjoyment of general prosperity.—South Bend Times (Dem).

Has Done a Great Work.

On Jan. 1 another payment on the state debt will be made, a payment of $200,000. Auditor Hart announces that within four years the debt will be wiped out and there Is no doubt that his prediction will be fulfilled, provided the present administration Is continued In power for that length ( t time. The Republican party has accomplished great results in Indiana since it took charge of affairs in 1895. —Terre Haute Tribune.

The Downtrodden Miner.

George Case, who works at Crown Hill mine, is reported to have broken all records in this district for coal mined and money earned during one day. It is said that after deductions were made for his, powder, oil and other incidental expenses, also for a ton and a half of coal purchased, he drew $92.40 for work of eight hours a day during the two weeks ending Oct 31. This must not be accepted, however, as an indication of what miners in general earn. That was an exceptionaf heavy two weeks, though, and pay envelopes containing SSO were not unusual. It has been a long time since the mines worked so well before.—The Clintonian.

INTELLIGENT CONSERVATISM

Will Guide the Legislature in the Matter of Appropriations. (Indianapolis Journal.) Indiana’s charities will doubtless be provided (or by the legislature in the spirit of intelligent conservatism. The purpose of the rigid investigation which has been instituted by the governor and the committee of the legislature is not -to ascertain - where the process of pinching can be applied, but to learn the actual needs of all the institutions and to make as full provision to meet those needs as is possible. Fortunately, those officials who are making the investigation are practical business men with progressive ideas. At the same time they are not enthusiasts, and will not be carried away by that class. They will" not act upon the declaration of one of the speakers at the Charity Organization meeting Sunday night, that “the question of money is absolutely not to be considered,” and that “the tax rate should not be taken into consideration.” If this advice should be taken by the legislature the appropriations to carry out the projects of those who are the champions of new institutions and the broadening of those now existing would exceed 12,000,000. Those who make such statements are not acquainted with the semi-annual calls of county treasurers as are the tens of thousands of farmers aad householders la cities. While it Is probable that the legislature will be intelligently liberal, H will taka the tax rats Into consideration. Furthermore, when an appropriation la paade for one purpose, the ambitious superintendent will not ha allowed to convert it to some fad of his own conception entirely foreign to that for which the legislature voted tka money. Officials who arrogate to themselves the functions of the legislature and harrow moaey to carry out extravagant plans of their own wIU find many difficulties. The question of money will ho considered by. the legislature and the expenditure of the money voted will ha confined to the strict rending of (he net sf approprlnThe editor of “I Ihmtos." an aat> A “«ricon paper published at Manila, has been oenvloted of libol on his own eonfeeslon that ha spoke falsely when ha stated In his Journal that General °* rt< * daria.
