Reality.

During the week past the people
Of this city have enjoyed one of the
choicest and best entertainments that
ever visited Mexico.
The Golden troupe we've greeted
throughout their entire engagement
with full and appreciative audiences.
On Friday night when the French
Spy" was on the boards, we had the
pleasure of witnessing a sword fight
between Bella Golden, the "French
Spy" and Martin Golden, as "Ma-
hommed, the Arab Spy" in which
Bella Golden received an ugly cut
over the eye. The way Bella Golden
handles the sword is caution, and
toward the close of the combat YOU
could not persuade the audience but
what the scene was a reality instead
of play.

Is it true that the captain and ore
or more of the crew of the vessel
which was sent to quarantine on FRI
day morning were in the city part of
that day. If they were in town was
the Superintendent of Health aware
of it and were such visits made by his
authority?
Has such an examination of the ves-
sells record been made as to satisfy
the Superintendent of Health that any
of her crew have been sick or died, or
that any are sick now?
If this vessel is subject to quaran-
tine, why should the crew be allowed
to come to town? If the presence of
the vessel will ~. dangerous to the
health of ~, city. why repeat
the farce already enacted at the
mouth of the river. If there is no dan
ger to the city from her presence, why
block business with such unnecessary
trammels !? If she is a fit subject for
quarantine, we earnestly demand that
the Superintendent of Health shall
make detention an effectual safeguard
to this city. This is no time for shams.

from any politician of sufficient Rromi
nence to deserve consideration, should
reach us, privately of course, from
Carl Schurz? This man has declared
his Republican allegiance, and his
talents have been engaged for no pur-.
pose but to spread Republican truths
lf we are to have prophets of disaster,
his lips should by all means remain
closed"
The Republicans last utterance is
as follows:
"Carl Schurz hos always been noted
ar all agitator and a theorist-a man,
III short. who follows wild vagaries,
and is never satisfied with the SUR
rounding condition of affairs. It is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that
he is disturbing factor in the present
campaign. He has pretended to car
ry the German vote in his pocket so
often-for Instance, in 1S72-that
neither native nor adopted citizens
have much faith in him in these later
days"
It looks very much as if Mr.. Schurz
would not rerlain in the canvass much
longer. There was too much honest
German blood in his veins to Iermit
Mr.. Schurz to play successfully the
part of Radical demagogue. We
rather think his usefulness in that line
has been destroyed.
