It was quite impossible to convince them of the fact that Sir Wil-1 am was merely a retired official, and consequently when a few years later ho endeavored to return to Egypt, Lord Cromer felt compelled to bar him from the country. The Fame measure was adopted for a time with regard to Wilfred Blunt, formerly of the KnRlish diplomatic servicu. but who had adopted a similar attitude to that of Sir William. Wilfred Blunt is married to a of the poet Lord Byron, and for some years past has been permitted to re-enter Egypt, where together with Lady Ann Blunt, who is quite us eccentric and be brilliant as himself, he now spends nearly all his winters, Wilfred Blunt.

AT the close of the Civil war nearly forty years tgo a large majority of the people of the Northern States had no doubt that the negroes of the country.

North or South, whether bond or free, were entirely capable of self-government. How is it now, after these years of experience and patient trial? We talk as an eventuality in the future of the possible admission of the Filipinos, twice in number what the blacks were at the close of the Civil war, as worthy and competent for the rights of citizenship. They have the instinct of self-government, and it shows itself wherever it has been fairly attempted, unless crushed out by superior force. No 6uch disillusion was ever witnessed anywhere on the earth as in the case of the black freedmen who were made citizens by the enthusiasm, haste and party spirit of the whites of the United States. It has been a failure in all respects and all the time.

Where the contrary has been made apparent it has been the exceptional instance. In a review of the situation and progress from the start the Chicago "Chronicle" in an elaborate and careful paper states the undoubted facts as they now appear to the thoughtful American citizen: Through all the varying stages of reconstruction, car-petbaggism, Ku-Kluxism and military rule down to the days of the educational clauses and the grandfather constitutions the black man has proved on every occasion his unworthiness of the confidence that was reposed in him. In power under the leadership of profligates, white and black, he was without conscience or morals. Out of power he was content to be disfranchised, and to accept for himself such government as the whites were dis at Crabett park. he Latel brothers appear In a gymnastic act that is well done, their worit being clean cut.

The Bijou Theater. "'Sherlock with Herb' K-cey In the title role, is In the Bijou Theater for a week's stay and was welcomed by large houses at both performances yesterday, it is a play of intense interest throughout, like all of William Giiletl's productions, nnd keeps the audience on the qui vivo throughout. The plot is rather unusual, of course, for no one would expect Holmes to deal with an ordinary tale of crime. Comparisons are always odious and ther is no especial call for them in connection with Mr. Keleey's Impersonation.

Ills Idea of the detective Is naturally a very faithful copy of his eminent predecessor In the enme role. His methods are exactly the same. Probably his strongest piece of acting and that which bears a more pronounced stamp of originality Is In the closing scene of the last act. To imagine Holmes actually In love is at tirst sight ridiculous, but Mr. Kelcey puts the matter in another light and what really phould lie the weakest part id the play turns out the strongest.

The plan of operations appears to be to have a flood of judicial candidates before the Republican State convention, and, with this difficulty in making a choice, proceed with the nomination of Pennypacker. This game has been often tried under the Quay regime in Republican State conventions, and has been successful in naming both executive and judicial candidates.

Governor Pennypacker is not pressed as a candidate at the Republican primaries; his innings are evidently expected at the State convention, where there is likely to be confusion worse confounded with a multiplicity of candidates, some of whom are undoubtedly suggested that they may get out of the way and leave Pennypacker a clear field. It all depends on whether Mr. Quay can work the huslness with hU usual Buccess and increased prestige as supreme boss of tha Republican party of the State. tor guests, including the members of the Braddock chamber, officials of the Pittsburg chamber of commerce aitd manv others.

The subject at the afternoon THE IMPOSSIBLE IN POLITICS. WHENEVER there is a glimpse of encouragement for the "Hearst movement" at the South It is heralded by the Hearst press, and they are largely Republican, strange to say, as settling the matter, on the Idea that the election of a half dozen delegates will determine the action of a thousand delegates to be chosen to the St. Louis convention.

The New Orleans "States" declares that this movement ha3 been checked at the South, and it is no longer feared in that part of the country, and there is no reason to really fear it anywhere. It. has caused annoyance, but no mischief, to the Democratic party The "States" continues its comments as follows: The Democratic party has in the past been punished for its shortcomings, but it realizes now that nothing it has suffered will be comparable to the disaster that will be invited by the folly of nominating such a man as Hearst for the presidency. It is impossible to believe that the party can be guilty of such folly, for the very good reason that every one of its leaders who has an ounce of brains knows that Hearst with an open checkbook is seeking in the most unblushing manner to buy the nomination, and knows also that it is not the man, but the party itself, that is on trial before the country. This alone is sufficient to kill the shameleBs Hearst, movement, and It will be killed, if It is not already dead.

We have not felt it a duty, as so many other Democratic papers in tho United States have done, to expose the real character of the Hearst movement, which consists almost altogether In the purchase of a few get-at-able delegates and the corruption of Democratic politics. But this procoeding'has become so audacious and bare-faced that it promises from this very insolence to defeat itself. We can conceive of nothing more Improbable, save It would be tho nomination of such a man as Matthew Stanley Quay or Boss Piatt of New York, to make final deliverance of the Democratic party. All that has been accomplished in that way has been the purchase of a few cheap and marketable paoers, to bolster by falsehood and misrepresent ation the so-calied Hearst movement. We cannot, recall a Democratic journal In the United States that accepts) this conspiracy to nominate meeting will be "Birds."

When accosted he said that he was not Interested in politics any more, except as a spectator and a citizen. He remarked that there had been considerable interest in the primary contest for nomination for the judgeship In lawrence county. In which everybody seemed to have taken sides, but he thought that now that the contest is over, and Judge Wallace is slated for re-nomination, his opponents will fall into line and he will receive the solid support of his party. thought that while it is a quite common belief of citizens that there should be as little partisanlsm in contests for judicial offices as possible, ha was not entirely convinced that a strong party contest for such officials Is not perhaps a good thing, too. He was of opinion that it contributed to put the successful candidates on their "good behavior," and to make them careful as to the manner in which they administered the law to avoid antagonism for reelection; "for an incompetent or uninst The Republicans are engaged in bitter and violent troubles within their own ranks in two of the great States of the Union, New York and Ohio, and President Roosevelt has managed to take an ungracious part in them all, showing his usual facility for getting into needless rows and inciting desperate feuds.

Miss Julia Marlowe repeated her success of three seasons ago when she presented the revived "When Knighthood Was in Flower" in tho Alvln last night. Tho supporting company is brobably not so strong as when the play was last seen here, but the same elaborate stane settings and effects are used. Miss Marlowe Is the same sweet actress.

With the audience which greeted her she won new friends and enthusiastic applause. After each of the four acts the actress was compelled to appear before the not lights. Her leading man. Tyrone 1'ower, shared much of the honor with her. Tho play is as Interesting as the popular book from which it Is dramatized.

As Mary Tudor, Princess of England, Miss Marlowe Is sweet and charming. In th character she has a role in which slie buc-cespfuliy and almost simultaneously din-plays contrariness, audaciousness and tender winning love. Perhaps witfi a less capable person earrying the part the play would not be so well received. Home of the characters are weak as compared to Miss Marlowe's splendid work.
