ferent interiors in the noble chateau in
which the acts ,transpire, have the fullest
Justice done them By the scene painter.
The appointments, furnltme, etc, are
as gorgeous and harmonious as the
most fastidious could require, while the
cast embraces almost the whole strength
of one of the finest companies on the
English stage. The representations of
Miss Kate Claxton, Miss Vernon, and
Mrs. wilkins, with those of Messrs.
Thorne, ParseIle, Stoddart, and Robson,
are, of course, the most striking, but
every part, down to the humblest, is
well filed, and thus the development of
the intensely dramatic plot is Inarred by
no marked inequalities The story is
admirably worked out, its real strength
being only developed in the last act,
where the interest is wrought up to a
height which is almost painful. During
the Quick succession OF eliminating
events-the noble self accusation of
Ferreoi, the unconscious self-conviction
of the real criminal, and the renewed
complication caused by the thoughtless
exclamation of the heroine-the house is
fairly breathless in it's suspense and the
happy announcement the pent-feeling
of the packed house nightly bursts into
roar Of applause. The. play will re-
main on the boards well into the Centen-
NAL time, to give opportunity to the
great number of strangers who will then
be in tie city, to witness 1T. The popu-
larity of '..ferreol'' is well shown by the
fact that two weeks after its initial per-
Torrance in New York, it was brought
out In Brooklyn, where it was received
with hardly less enthusiasm.

THE Board of Fish Commissioners
have project which is quite timely in
view OF the threatened failure of the
white fisheries IN Lake Michigan. They
propose to hatch and put into the lake
ten or twelve millions of fish every year
To assist in this work they ask that tie
city of Milwaukee shall allow them the
use of the north half of the building at
the water works, which is not now in
use and is not likely to be for some
years, but which is believed to be well
adapted to The purpose of a Matching
house. 1t does not appear that there
can be any posibible objection to grant
ing the request. 1t is a matter in which
the city is interested to keep up the sup
ply of fish in the lake and thus promote
an important branch of our commerce.
The project involves no expense on the
part of the city, and if it should have
occasion to use the whole of the build
ing, it can do so without delay.-Nil-

CONSIDERABLE comment has been
called forth lately by Q rumor that Jas.
G. Blaine, at present the most promi
nent candidate for the presidency, has
been interested in crooked transactions
in which railroad bonds formed promi-
nent character. Mr.. Blaine fatty
denies the truth of the charges against
him, and so long as no direct testimony
or proof has been brought to show that
his denial is a falsehood, we must con-
slider him innocent But in this con-
nection we do not wish to be understood
as attempting to cry down thorough
investigation of the charges, as we have
noticed is the case with a number of
Republican journals who lay claim to
great influence among the party in this
State. The Republicans can not afford
to go into the canvass next fall with a
standard bearer whose integrity is ques-
toned by even his enemies. He must
be one against whom the shafts of sus-
picion have never. been directed and
that there are such men in the persons
of Secretary Bristow or E. B. Wash
burne, everybody knows

without learning anything justifying a

THE London Times, the Lancet, and
other English journals, appear to lie
getting really alarmed about the ccntinu-
ed approach of the plague. The disease
has been absent from England and the
continent of Europe for more than 100
years, and from its once favorite haunts
in Egypt, Syria, and Mespotamia for
about forty years. During the last two
years, the disease has appeared now and
again in villages on the lower Euphrates
and it has now broken out''at Hillah, and
several severe cases have occurred at
Bagdad. The recent outbreaks have
shown no diminution of the old viru-
lence, and in the opinion of the Times
there can be little doubt, when the pres
ent state of commercial communication
is considered, that the malady may soon
be conveyed from Bagdad to the Levant.
From the Levant it might easily pass to
Europe, and even to the shores of Eng
land. The plague was last prevalent in
Bagdad in 1916, and it is believed
that between the 18th of March and the
Doth of April, 1881, not less than go, 000
persons fell victims to the disease among
a population estimated at $50, 900.

SPRING FLOODS is usual in the
spring, the Mississippi and many of its
tributaries are blooming" under the in
fuence of heavy rains, and their over
flowing waters are causing much fear
and destruction. The lowlands along
the Mississippi in this State are flooded
but the worst damage has been wrought
in the vicinity of Hannibal Mo-, where
at least two large breaks have occurred
in the Sny levee, an immense and costly
embankment several miles in length,
built to redeem large area of bottom
land periodic overflow. Atlast accounts
the waters were sweeping through these
breaks with terrific force, and flooding
the whole Sny bottom, containing about
$50 squar miles of rich cultivated land,
redeemed with great toll and cost from
the swamp. The unhappy inhabitants
had fled for their lives to the hills,
where they had to witness the destruc-
ton of their property. For miles above
and below Hannibal and Quincy, which
are about thirty miles apart, the Missis-
sippi is spread out into gleat lake.
much of the distance twenty miles wide,
and eighteen feet above low water mark,
covering the low lands of Illinois and
Missouri, and bridges, and making loco
motion possible only by boats. The Il
Hnois River, also q few miles east Of
these points, has flooded its own bottom
lands, and railway passengers in some
places have to pass over break of two
miles in small boats. Further south
along the Arkansas and Mississippi
shores the Father Waters is bursting
through crevasses upon rich plantations
causing vast destruction of property.
Water just now is master over large
areas ordinarily called dry land, and

AT THE MERCY OF POLITICIANS.

The telegraph reports from Lonlsl-
ana plainly indicate thet the electoral
vote of the State is to be decided by
politicians, regardless of the wishes of
the people, as expressed at the ballot
box. Several propositions for COM
promise have been submitted to the
Returning Board. One is to declare
the Hayes Electors chosen, and give
the Legislature to the Republicans,
and the Governorship to the Demo
Gratis. Another, to give the Governor
ship to Packard, the Legislature to the
Republicans, SO as to insure the cleo
ton of Kellogg to the United States
Senate, and the electoral vote of the
State to Tilaen. Not the slightest at
tention is paid to the will of the ma
iority. The votes of parishes which in
terfere with the programme of Kellogg
& Co. can be readily disposed of by the
Returning Board, and the electoral vote
of the State given to Hayes or Tilden
at the pleasure of the managers. Such
proceedings would not be tolerated in
any of the Northern States of the
Union. The will of the majority is not
permitted to interfere with the pro-
gramme of thespoliticians, and Electors
are counted in or out, as the case may
be, to conform to their plans. The
State officers and possibly the Presi-
dency, are at their disposal, and the
fact of the State giving an honest ma
jority for Tilden or for Hayes, for
Nichols or for Packard, for Republi-
cans or for Dem ocrots, is not permitted
to interfere in the slightest degree with
their calculations. The Constitution of
the United States guarantees Repub-
lican form of Government to every
State in the Union, but the Returning
Board of Louisiana, in the face of this
guarantee, establishes despotism,
which is upheld by Federal bayonets.
