Things, but really to carry out the bar
gain made at Washington, and to let
Packard down as easily as possible. And
now came on the scene the most impor-
tant factor Of all-the Louisiana State
Lottery, the champion manufacturer of
legislatures. As organized, our legisla-
ture lacked numbers, inst as Packard
did, and one or the other must be broken
up by money. The Lottery came in and
purchased Packards negroes like So ma.
ny pigs orpotatOes at market, thus filing
up the vacant seats in our halls, and
leaving Packard in the lurch. Then off

We find the following In Mondays
Chicago Times: Lieut.. W. p. Clark, Of
the I'd cavalry, the dashing young OFF,
Ger to whom the celebrated Sioux war
rior chief, Crazy Horse, surrendered,
who has been on leave of absence for a
brief time, left the city last evening to
re-join his regiment in cantonment on
the Yellowstone. Lieut.. Clark has
seen considerable service on the rough
frontier and is one of the most popular
officers of his age in the army, being
handsome, surprisingly enterprising,
and courteous alike to superiors and in
feriors. lie has thoroughly mastered
the remarkable ''sign language" Of the
northern tribes, and is well known TO
the savage families Of Sioux, Cheyennes,
Arrapahoes, and eros aEentres. He
was the organizer and leader Of the
Sioux and Cheyenne friendly warriors,
who did such excellent work against the
hostiles at the conclusion of the hard
winter campaign of 1861. Should
new opportunities arise, Lieut.. Clark
will always be heard of in Il manner
creditable to himself and to the gallant
army Of which he is a chiyalrous rep
resentative. 'iJ

THEATRICAL TALK.

-
Dying on the stage to weird-like mu-
sic must be very nice.
That hat of ours had to suffer last
night.
One of the actors said Luke Murrin
keeps the best in the city.
The combats between the actors were
thrilling. ..,.a.
There was some love-making on the
stage which was not all in the play.
Lever was on hand whenever the
boys were invited up.
1.-The Miller Of the Dee" resembled
Elisha Kent Kane.
DR.. R. possessed the greatest pres
ence Of mind.
Eugene was regarded by the ladies
in the audience as the handsomest.
]. G. H died quite gracefully, but
he'll be ready to swallow his usual al
lowance of hash this morning.
The wickedest man was the landlord.
While the murders were in progress
a small boy in the audience yelled

quite far enough back on the stage last
night and when the curtain dropped
his editorial feet were smashed.

This is the title Of a very attractive
play which was put upon the stage last
night at Recreation Hall by several
w~ell-known ladies and gentlemen Of
this city, and whose efforts. as the en-
tertainment proved, deserve the high
est commendation. The amateurs
started of at the beginning under ia
vorable circumstances, having a full
house present to witness the rendition
of the play. This was half the battle,
for there is nothing more discouraging
TO either professionals or amateurs than
an attempt to play to d beggarly array
of empty seats. Added to this, the or
chestra was frs. class, and the soul in
spring music enlivened the performers,
rs well rs the audience there assembled.
The play was q strictly local one, dram
affixed especially for Cheyenne latitude,
and was brim full of innocent but side
splitting hits at well-known citizens.
Both ladies and gentlemen were well
up in their parts, and evlnced the fact
that frequent rehearsals of the play had
rendered them perfectly familiar with
the characters assumed.
MI. F., IS the penurious landlord,
in his rapid descent from responsibility
to infamy, exhibited stage talent of no
mean ability.
Miss c., as the pretty ''Mehetible"
was sparkling, witty and attractive
throughout.
Mr.. J-,in the character of Switch
ell" played his role almost to perfection
and kept the audience in a roar of
laughter during his presence on the
stage.
Mr.. W., as The Inebriate"-the
most difficult character in the play
being II professional actor, sustained
his part in II highly acceptable manper.
His representation of adose of delirium
tremens was particularly fine.
Miss Ida T., as Little Mary" per-
formed the part allotted to her in a
manner which called forth the united
praise of all present. Her death bed
scene was truly touching and affected
many to tears.
Mrs. L., as Mrs. Morgan;" DIR.
r., as rRomaine;" Mrs. j., as s.Mrs.
Slade;'' Mr.. H, as Harvey Green;"
Mr.. J. c. H, as ''Willie Hammond;"
and Mr.. P, in the character of Frank
Slade," acquitted themselves with great
credit. 1t was, without doubt, the best
amateur dramatic entertainment over
given in Cheyenne. The play will, by
special request, be repeated this even.

The ferslos Outlook.
Although it is reported that the C

Although 1t Is reported that the o m
gress Is at last to be held, the report
needs confirmation. 1t Is not, how
ever, incredible. Indeed, it is very
probably true. All the good efforts of
Germany have recently been made
with the sole view to bring about the
meeting Of a congress of all the powers,
as the only safe issue to the difficult
and straiued situation into which the
relations of England, Austria and Rus
STA had been brought by their conflict
ing claims. 1t was not ar easy labor
to remove obstacles that were related
to national pride and the sense of ma
tional dignity. On points of this ma
ture, as our readers will remember, the
project for a congress first fell through.
England refused to sit without a pledge
that all treaty provisions made between
Turkey and Russia were brought be-
fore the body, and she presented this
demand extensively, and with the i'm
plication that Russia was dealing false
ly by the other powers, and had a secret
compact with the Moslem. Russia re-
fused to concede the propriety of this
demand, partly, perhaps, because it
was insulting in its nature, and partly
because it was, in fact, unjust. BY
what device the susceptibilities on
either side have been overcome, If the
congress is to meet, We do not know;
but there is al intimation that Russia,
which now submits the whole treaty ito
the congress, would never have con-
scented to do this unless sure that she
would be supported by all the other
powers in her Interpretation of all those
parts of the treaty which she deems are
not Of general interest. 1t is quite pro-
bable that the great magician at Berlin,
waving his wand in the eyes of several
cabinets. has secured a pledge of that
nature, as an equivalent for the pledge
extorted from his neighbor. England
was, for instance, requested at one
stage Of the negotiations to recognize
that certain provisions of the treaty
were of local and not of general inter-
est, and to consent to their exclusion
as a condition upon which the negotia-
lions might proceed. But she refused
this proposition, and demanded that
all the treaty should be submitted, in
order that the congress might deter
mine for itself this very point, as to
what parts were of general and what
of local interest. Few things could
be simpler thereupon than for q friend
of Russia to obtain the official opinion
in the several capitals ON that point.
An opinion Of that nature given to
Germany would be held rs a pledge,
and if the opinions were found favora-
BILE to Russia, she might concede Eng
lands demand with safety, since she
would come through the congress tri-
umphantly. She would yield the point
of dignity as to her opponent, but win
the admission of her case before Europe.
And this solid success would be an
equivalent for an empty concession.

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-10-23

Complaint has been made that while a
heavy tariff is laid upon the articles the
people consume, and that while property
of every description is taxed, United
States bonds in the hands of the class
who roll in wealth aud whose profits ac
cumulate all the same in the hours of
toll and of rest-by day aud by night
are untaxed. This abhorrent and un-
just discrimination the Democrats have
steadily opposed. As early as 1862, Mr..
Holman, Democratic Representative
from Indiana, pending the bill for the
issuance of U. S. bonds, offered the fol-
lowing resolution
ResolUed, That nothing in this act shall
impair the right of the States to tax the
bonds under this act.
For a proposition so reasonable, so just,
so evidently in accord with the spirit of
fair and impartial legislation, every Dem
ocrat voted, and every Republican except
eight opposed it. On this subject the
National Democratic Convention of
1868, passed the following resoIuti
Equal taxation of every species of prop
ertv according to Its real value, Including
bonds and other public securities.
This is the Democratic position. 1t is
opposed to the policy of building up ia
vored classes at public expense, and has
steadfastly maintained that the burdens
of government should rest equally upon
all.
