All the boys are whistling Pinafore tunes
The Fuller Bros are building a storehouse
on Vaughn street.
The Boston Pinafore Company played to a
house OF about five hundred Wednesday even
ing. A great deal of culture and wealth of this
city and Augusta were present, and we have
yet to hear of one that was not in every way
satisfied. Miss Dora Wiley makes lovely
Josephine and was a great favorite, as were
also her lover, Ralph Rackstraw (Nfr j. c.
Bartlett); Dick Deadeye was well played by
Little Buttercup was a success. The other
parts were well taken and the chorus was very
tine. Great credit is due Mr.. Bodwell, Mr.
Stevens, Mr.. Heath and those who started the
idea OF having Pinafore played here, and we
hope that hereafter we may have more first
class entertainments, as the people have shown
lhelr Willingness to patronize them.

When a man r0bs or defrauds another, he

consent. When one man gets possession of
the property OfapOther On promise to return
il at some future time, he gets that property
by consent of the other. The whole thing
is venture knowingly entered into by
both parties. If when the time of payment
comes the debtor has nothing to pay, this
also was foreseen by both parties as pOssi-
bility of the future. If such should be the
case, the debtor is absolved for the time be-
ing from paying the debt. No one can bind
another nor can he bind himself to do an
impossihility. He is not absolved from the
debt ITSELF but he is absolved from paying it
until he is able. On the other hand, should
he be able to pay part or all of it, he is an-
der every obligation which can bind man to
man to do 1t. In all sneh eases the creditor
puts out his property to the hazard of the
future and has no right to complain of una

property or he could have sold it tor cash.

TE,E QUESTION OF THE DEBT.

Kind reader, don't be alarmed
we are not yet in possession Of an
authentic statement of the evidence
on which either majority or minor
ity report is grounded, and we are
not going into the argument, which
has been worn threadbare long ago,
and on which the report throws no
light that we did not possess before.
II is enough that we have nothing
to expect as to a final settlement OF
The question from the present Legis-
lsture. Reader, there is one settle
ment and only one that can ever be
made of it, and that must come up
sooner or later as it did finally in
Pennsylvania thirty years after the
payment of interest was suspended.
the only lcdy 10 settle the question is
II DQv tRe debt. That proposition
win eontiaGe to rise as a spectre
from, the grave of our State credit
mil IL is finally acted upon. Pro-
orsstination won't lay it; repudia-
