When the Fox River Valley Railroad Com
pany, of which Mr.. Washington Bushnell was
president was transferred to the Chicago, Bur
lington 4 Quincy Company, by lease, 1t has
been charged that the president and secretary
of the Fox River Company received $,5, 600 or
100000 for signing the lease. Now then, we
ask Mr.. Bushnell, is that true or false ?-hea-
DALI County Record
As there were seven directors of the com
pany who negotiated and voted for that lease,
and the signing Of the document on the part
of the President and Secretary was a mere mat
ter OF form, which, in case OF their refusal, the
directors could have elected other officers to at
tend to, it strikes us that the Burlington Road
paid rather eXtravagently for so slight ser
vice but if they actually did so, Ii strikes us
secondly, that the aforesaid President and
Secretary would have been great fools not to
accept the money.

VIII the Ottawa Free Irader support Wash.
Bushnell if he is nominated in the republican
convention as against the democratic candi-
date, or is it only trying to puta week man on
us that they can beat ?-hendaN County Record,
a man capable Of decently representing a
constituency IN the state senate, as the editor
of the R,cord claims to do, ought to be able to
take in sensible idea. The dominant solicit
tude of the FREE TRADER, in regard to the
congressional contest in this district is III view
of the important interests at stake, to secure
the election of a man of brains. As the demo.
cratic party is from I 800 to $500 IN the minor
ity in the district common sense teaches the
futilty of looking to that party for the desired
candidate, and it therefore turns to the repub-
licans. The FREE TRADER has politically no
love whatever for Mr.. Bushnell, nor personally
above what it entertains for any other republi.
can in the district If he can be produced who
is intellectually Mr.. Bushnel's equal. The
election contest next fall will probably be a
bitter and excited one, IN which party lines
will be closely drawn, and if the democrats OF
this district nominate a candidate for congress,
as We suppose they will, and he is decent
man, the FREE TRADER may feel bound to
give him formal support; but unless he Is
of which we have no hope-the intellectual SUI
peror OF Mr.. BUSHNELL and there is reason

have still less hOpe-the FREE TRADER will
certainly take no special pans to disguise It's

METROPOLITAN THEATER. - Another full
house greeted the Colville Troupe last night.
Evidently this sparkling company has the
popular ear and will retain it throughout the
week. The play was burlesque upon the
opera of the Bohemian Girl. Dramatically
it was not so good as the Cinderella extrav-
aganza, musically it was much its superior
1t presented Miss Roseau to much better adj
vantage as vocalist, and her whip-poor-will
song possesses very much of merit, while the
concerted pieces and choruses were much
more pleasing than those of the preceding
night The costuming by this company is
something worthy of observation it is so varied
and rich. Reed, Graham and Chapman were
last night, as on the first occasion, the very
soul and pith of the heartiest fun of the bur-
lesque, though all the performers made all
there was to be made out of the parts allot-
ted them. Tonight, burlesque upon the
old nursery story Bluebeard." Pieces of
this class are much the most popular, for
every one remembers his childish wonder and
delight over the fairy tales of his early years,
and can appreciate to fullest bent the bur
lesques upon them-but not every one has
seen the = Bohemian Grip or g Ii Trovatore"
in their integrity, and not every one there
fore can fully enjoy burlesque upon a
standard opera. The management of the
Colville troupe is noticeably good, and the
measures taken for the comfort of the visitors
to the theater are commendable.

THE THEATER-LETrER FROM AN OLD
PROFESSIONAL.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Permit me through
the columns of your paper, to call the atten-
ton of the citizens of Sacramento, to the
deplorable condition they are in for the want
of properly furnished thester, to enable
good dramatic combinations and first class
entertainments to visit their city and de-
part with, at least, their expenses insured,
which is far from possible, or probable, under
existing circumstances. The Metropolitan
Theater is cold, comfortless, cherries, I'M
interesting place, and most unpleasant for an
audience to stay through performance. and
is equally unpleasant for the people on the
stage. 1t can hardly he designated as a
"house of amusement" IL has no suitable
dressing or green-rooms, and wardrobes are
liable to great damage by reason of that fact,
while the company is forced below the stage
into poor quarters. On the stage the scenery
IS worn and dilapidated, and there is dirt and
filth enough to breed an epidemic and ruin
wardrobes it took lifetime to accumulate.
The people are tired of looking at the same
old drop-curtain and the same moldy scenic
arrangements that they have gazed upon for
nearly three decades. Upon entering the
building one can truthfully exclaim, .SeRaper
idem! The Owens company COM
posed of first-class artists, but they did
not receive enough to pay expenses );
yet, they pleased well enough, but
the surroundings kept patrons away. The
same was true with Maguire's speciality
artists during the past week-a very costly
aggregation of tirst-class performers but the
manager hardly got enough to pay his local
expenses, let alone his high salaries and trav-
cling expenses. The result will be that in
the near future first-class combinations will
give Sacramento q wide berth. They cannot
afford to risk themselves there at all. San
Jose has two most beautiful places of amuse
ment, with cosy auditorlums, good stages
comfortable and furnished dressing rooms,
and general inviting appearance. In the
mining district of Timbuctoo, near Marys-
vile, there is pretty and perfectly appointed
theater. The Owens company did better
business in Oakland, San Jose, Stockton and
other places, than in Sacramento, when you
consider the proportion of Inhabitants, and
the reason why is patent to all. Can you not,
through your columns, urge upon some of your
capitalists the Importance of constructing a
dramatic temple second only to those of San
Francisco-although in reality the Capital
should be second to none in the State. Let
Sacramento, then, have one she can be proud
ola representative California theater for her
three best-the Baldwin, California and Bush
street. are in every way the equals of the
finest dramatic temples of America.
Pardon this lengthy intrusion on your time
and space but if the object can be attained
you will win the gratitude of one whose life
has been spent in strenuous endeavors to do
his part towards giving his fellow mortals a
little amusement and healthful entertain
ment A PROFESSIONAL.
