Carters new sensational comedy drama will be seen for the first time in this city at the New Grand theatre the week of Feb 28tb. It is a naval play, the main incidents of which were the attempted seizure of the Samoan islands by the German government in 1888 and 1889. Several scenes in the play are worthy of more than a passing notice. One of these showing the passing of a ferry boat from Jersey City to Xew York is said to be absolutely perfect in detail. Another pretentious scenic effort is the representation of that awful calamity in the harbor of Apia, which cost the lives of 141 brave seamen and resulted in the destruction of the Eber, Adler and Olga of the German navy and the U.

Village Genius. ge ius, so everyone Said, A Bill Jbnes tousa A statement none cared tb refute, He had more brilliant thoughts stowed away in his head Than figures could ever compile.

To hear him conversing one speedily guessed That Bill was as sharp as a tack, Yet somehow or other he never possessed A whole suit of clothes to his back.

There is no longer any room in the Republican party for men who believe in silver coinage. The administration has worried along with them until patience is no longer a virtue. The president refuses to flirt with them anymore. Administration organs are reading silver men out of the party. Some are taking the hint, like Varian and Dickson, and refuse to stay where they are not wanted and their principles are tranlpled Under foot. Others are clinging to the nanie Republican, although they have been disowned and disinherited by the parent organization. And still others are trying to create new local factions in the several states in order that they hymay still style theniselve3 Republicans There may be some phenated Republicans. justification for this course, but Democrats, it would seem, are more easily convinced of the necessity for a new party embodying the principles enunciated in their own party platform than Republicans would have been under the same So I said to him, you ought to Love your uncle; and 1 thought, too, That he comprehended ev'rything I said; For my words seemed to abash him Sort of daze and stun and dash him, And I fancied that in shame he hanged his head, And I knew twere vain to scold him, So most tenderly I told him, It was wicked to abuse the playful cats; And to soil my books arid papers And to cut up naughty capers Then he made a snoot and shouted at me wats." -- Will A.

At eve when I'm returning From labors of the day, Their forges yet are burning, And still their hammers play ; And oft the smiths are singing To that measured, merry ringing, Ching ching, ching ching, Ching ching, ching ching. Often with rhythmic bending Of bodies to and fro, They toil in couples, sending The sparks out, blow on blow; One hammer always swinging The while the others ringing, Ching ching. ching ching, Ching ching, ching ching. O merry anvils sounding All day tilt set of sun ! It Is by steady pounding v One of the leading organs of the administration, endorsed by Hanna and approved by McKinley, is the New York Commercial Advertiser. It pours forth its feelings in the following strain : Like other successful organizations the Republican party has suffered from the misdeeds of men who have falsely claimed its name. In some Western states there are today organized bodies of men who call themselves silver Republicans, in defiance of the fact that the Republican party has consistently opposed the free coinage of silver and in utter disregard of the emphatic indorsement of the gold standard by the last Republican National convention. This farce and fraud is bad silver Republican enough but its impudence and imposture are fully equalled by the little clique of spoils hunters who have just issued an address to the public denouncing civil service reform. A long screed in the Advertiser is closed as - follows : The malcontents will do no harm by their clamor. They are as impotent as the malicious urchins who make up faces at the burly policemen on the other side of the street. The policeman in the case is the McKinley administration. It rightly does not consider the disturbers of sufficient importance to make it worth while to even look in their direction. If they were only able to command a few thousand votes the Bryanites would doubtlessly welcome them gladly. But their numerical strength is so small that even the . chief demagogues of discontent, anxious as they are for followers, do not care whether they join their ranks or not, |
