to find a suitable composer to set his imusing lyrics to music. That there are plenty of good music com posers in London, but poor librettists, has been made apparent the last few seasons. In "norodom.” "The Toreador" and other English musical productions. Therefore It seems quite possible that with the appearance again of Mr. Gilbert In the field, we may expect, in the few years, a revival of the charming comic operas which for BO many years held the boards undisputed. It is 4E years since Mr. Gilbert's name first became familiar to playgoers. His first libretto to Sir Arthur Sullivan's music was produced In 1176, "H. M. S. Pinafore." This was followed, In rapid teSlou and In the order named, by "The PI hues of Pensance." “Patience" and 'The Mikado.” But elnce the production of “The Grand Duke,” hi* last collaboration wKh Mr. guRIvan. ti l nine yean ago. Mr. Gilbert has given the stage nothing whatever. Mr. Gilbert, who resides at present at Harrow Weald, near London, is practically the last remaining member of an interesting trio of theatrical men. Sir Arthur Sullivan, his collaborator, died year, and D'Oyly Carts, who built the Savoy theater In London, expressly to produce lha works of Gilbert and Sullivan. has been dead several yean. Mr. Gilbert's librettos art re suggested In all sorts of ways. •The Mikado,” one of his most popular, for example, came Into his mind one day.as he examined a Japanese sword that hung on the wall In his study. He arrote most of his plays, laid them away for a fortnight, and then rewrote them without referring to hit original copy! He then compared the two, taking the brat of each. Sometlmra this process was repeated a number of times. His work has left him an inde-

pendent fortune.

Candidates for governor in the good old state of Indiana are as thick, on both rides at the house, as flies around a molasses barrel. One of the latest additions to tha list on the republican side la Hon. J. Frank Hanley, of Lafayette, a well-known lawyer and politician, noted for his strong religious tendendra and for his Intense earnestness in everything he undertaken. He Is 40 years old, a native of Champaign county, 111., and a thoroughly self-made man. In 1890 he was elected state senator. In 1891 he

A CAT MINI’S CLAWS INGLAND'S COMMERCIAL POSITION AS CHAMBERLAIN SEES IT. Bathaalaallr AMrmblaaea Ltefra «• Sprrrhre ARvoralIns the AbanSonMMt sf Kit. Trailr and lb* laalallsnrnl mt f*rvir«ilun. Joseph Chamberliin seems to be making subsuntipl progress Id his efforts to convert British thought to the acceptance 0 f protection as a substitute for free trade. He Is bent upon enforcing the obvious conclusion that In an International scratching match the cat without claws cam hardly bop^, to win. The niau and hi* mission have at least won a bearing. Great crowds turn out to bear the protectionist orator, far grenier crowds than hla free trade antagonists are able to draw and hold. The cable dispatches told of the monster muss meeting at Guildhall In I-ondon on the Hub of January to hear Mr. Chamberlalntspeak. Even an hour before the opening of the meeting standing room was not available to ticket holders. Mr. Chamberlain, who was accompanied by ids wife, received a great oration. The former secretary of the colonies began by declaring that the provincial centers of commerce of the United Kingdom had been beard from In regard to his tariff proposals, but the views of the citlsens of London not yet known. He desired to ascertain how the city men felt on the subject of bis scheme before the open Ing of parliament, but he regretted that, owing to Its noupoliticnl character. the meeting would not have the opportunity of voting directly for against him. _yx—Uhimberlaln then proceeded to reiterate his well known fiscal views. He pointed out that, while London now the clearing house of the world, be doubted if that position could be malntalntd if the ancient fiscal superstition was to be upheld. Before It late a lesson should be learned from the fate of Venice. Holland and the Hanseatic states, whoee greatness had vanished because they bad no productive and creative energy behind them. London would no longer be the world's clearing house If Great Britain's present-relations with her colonics and the great neutral countrira of the world were disturbed by a diminution In the multiplicity of the extent of the tranqactloDB which ' hitherto had been creating new wealth.” Ills opponents claimed that the recent board of trade returns destroyed his contentions, but be Intended to base his future arguments on those returns, as they proved that the growth of foreign exportations to the British colonies had greatly exceeded the growth of exportations from the motherland. The position of Great Britain was deteriorating, and. though be anticipated no Immediate catastrophe, the situation called loudly for some remedy. „Tbe lessons of the past must be applied, and the framework of a hew empire must be built up under new conditions by adopting the protective policy adopted by every other civilised nation and creating new bonds of union with the colonies. Mr. Chamberlain urged upon big bearers the conviction that the future struggle for existence is not to be between cities or between kingdoms, but between mighty empires, and In that struggle the minor states are certain to come off badly. As usual, the example of the United States was cited to show the practical workings of the protection policy. It U an object lesson which appeals strongly to British minds. Without It Mr. Chamberlain's crusade could have made but little progress. He said: "Profiting by the experience gained when the finest Jewel the British empire ever poeresaed. the United Sts tee. left ns for a separate existence, a new empire has arisen, greater than any In the world, but the great work of keeping and making permanent this heritage remains .to be solved. In the great revolution which separated the United States from Greet Britain the greatest man that the revolution produced, in my Judgment, was Alexander Hamilton. He was a soldier anji a statesman. He left a precious legacy to his countrymen when be said them. ‘Learn to think continental I venture now to give yon a similar message. Learn to think Imperially, and remember that the future of this country lies In the future of the British race in our colonics and posses

riona”

The cheers which punctuated hla speech and the vociferous applause at the dose of hie remarks must have sured the former colonial secretary that be had the full sympathy of bis audience. The vast crowds everywhere attracted and the entbuslesn: where manifested In connection with Mr. Chamberlain's triumphant tour of the principal trade centers of England. Scotland. Ireland and Wales compared with the emaiiar crowds which ; hie and the apathetic Indifference displayed at the meetings addressed by his free trade opponents show with whet seat sad relish the doctrine of is being received In Great Beaten though be has been in the recent byelections and though he may be again in !owhere the leaven has not yet to work, there la no doubt as to
