THE AUTHOR AND THE FIRST
NIGHT.
Trials Of the Playwrigh .-His Sensa-
tions on witnessing the Murder Of
His Best Efforts.

The following from the Virginia
Chronicle OF the 18th concerns no less
parsonage than Pat Holland, who, it is
hardly necessary to remind our readers,
at one time flourishedi in Phoebe:
It is very seldom. even in the best
regulated theaters, that new play runs
off smoothly. The omission of word
sometimes turns a good hit into o fat
remark. which does not even call forth
smile from the whole audience. The
feelings of dramatic author just at that
time are peculiar. He prays from his
inmost soul for Calling gun to sweep
the performers from the stage, after
which he could commit suicide with
resignation.
Last Saturday night was the occasion
of the first production of Signs and Pass
cords. local farce. written by Pat Hoi-
land. Pat was behind the scenes with
the manuscript in hand. The play
opened we'll, and the actors seemed to
have their lines pat, as they say. Now"
remarked the author, turning to Chron-
icle reporter. Now comes something
red-hot; just listen; you'll see the house
just split themselves laughing" He
lifted his hand at the place where the big
joke was to come in, but the performer
cleared the point like blooded flyer
going over a hurdle. He never touched
it at all. Pats face, which q moment
before was grinning in expectation, sud.
denly gave expression of profound as
constituent and then it grew pale. Pres
emily he found his voice and remarked
in an undertone to the reporter: "-??i

Raymond & Ely Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Raymond & Ely was held
on Tuesday last in San Francisco, re-
sulting in the election of an entire new
Board of Trustees, which fact we are
pleased to announce. There is good
reason for believing that the new Board
will not pursue policy similar to- that
which has been so persistently adhered
to for the past year and a half. A mine
never was nor never will be developed
without prosecuting work upon it. Un-
der the old management the mine had as
we'll lain idle for the last year, for it
was but one remove from it, When q
few thousand dollars stand in the way of
developing mine the managers had bet
ter draw out and go to farming, they
must take chances or 20 at something
else. Judging from the well-known
character OF the members of the new
Board, radical change may be expected
in the working of the Raymond & Ely.
toi lucy OoaL SAC IeputhtiOu Vi hNo,
practical mining men, who believe in 60
ing ahead when they have good reason
for believing their efforts will be re-
warded. Would such mine as the
Raymond & Ely lay idle if located on
the Comstock? Not much! Then, why
should it remain so if located elsewherep
At present work is pushed ahead on
m any mines around Virginia that can in
no way be compared to the Raymond &
Ely-mines which never have nor never
will return a two-bit piece for the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars expended
in their Development. The men who have
just been ousted from the Raymond 4
Ely to certain extent controlled the
destinies Of the Meadow Valley for the
past two years. and the result is about
the same in both cases. The course pur-
sued by these men has had damaging
effect upon the entire mining interest of
Ely District, and if they were in power
much longer, everyone around Phoebe
would have to emigrate-not because the
mines are worthless, not that they are
worked out, or anything of that sort,
but on account of Discrimination on the
part OF the Trustees to work mine that
has paid to its stockholders ten dollars
in dividends for every dollar they were
required to put up for working purposes.
We expect better things from the new
management. There is a rumor that
Captain H. H. Day has been appointed
Superintendent by the new Board OF
Trustees.

An Original View.

The following bit Of history has been
unearthed by the New York Tribune. It
says: " Senator Charles Pickney, of
South Carolina, one of the frsmers of
the Constitution, and the most eminent
member Of the Senate in the Sixth Con-
eress, made "a long speech against the
Ross Electoral bill in March, 1900, in
which he answered precisely the same
arguments which the Democrats are
making now. Speaking of the intest of
the trainers of the Constitution, he made
this emphatic and noteworthy statement:
knowing that it was the intention OF tho
Constitution to make the President COM
pletely independent of the Federal Leg
islatpre, well rem ember. it was the oh
Iect. az it is at present not only the
spirit but the letter of that instrument.
to give to Congress no interference in or
control over the election OF President.
1t ia made their duty to count over the
votes in convention of both Houses,
for the President of the Senate to declare
who has the majority of the votes of the
election SO transmitted. It never was
intended, nor could it have been safe in
the Constitution, to have given to Con.
gress thus assembled in convention the
right to object to any vote, or even to
question whether they were constitution
ally or properly given. The right of de-
termiring on the manner in which the
Electors shall vote-the inquiry into the
qualifications, and the guards necessary
to prevent disqualified or improper men
voting, and to insure the votes being
legally given-rests and is exclusively
vested in the State Legislature. If it is
necessary to have guards against i'm
proper election of Electors, and to in
stitute tribunals to inquire into their
qualifications, with the State Legisla-
lures, and with them alone, rests the
power to institute them, and they must
exercise it. To give to Congress, even
when assembled in convention. the right
to reject or admit the votes OF States
wsuld have been so gross and dangerous
an absurdity as the trainers Of the Con-
stitution never have been guilty OF. ~
