MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
MISS NELSON'S FAREWELL.


The final performances in Miss Nelson's engage

engagements that have been played in this city
are now in progress. Her Juliet Viola and Pauline
have been seen since Monday, and her ROsalind.
Inoqcn aud repetitons of ViOla and Juliet are to fill

the poetic significance and the solid dramatic value
Of these works this journal has endeavored to offer
such comment rs would do them some measure of
iustce and help to concentrate upon them the
thoughtful and sympathetic attention of the local
pubic. These are achievements in the dramatic
art which have not for many years heen equalled,
and which are not likely to be surpassed The OPP
nortunity Of seeing thcm, accordingly. Is ono that
should be fully improved by oil persons for whom
the art of acting has spirit and value. Never, IN
tbe history of the English stage, has the highest or
der of dramatic literature-the Shakespearean
drama-been better illustrated, or more staunchly
upheld. than it is by Miss Nelson. 10 render prac-
teal and effective tho beautiful and ennobling i'll
Auences which flow out Of that order of drama is 10

no less than an honorable individual distinction.
Miss Nelson's engagement will terminate on Satur-

day evening she will take q farewell benent-ap-
nearing in the Duel Scene, from Twelfth Night -
the BALCONY Scene, from " Romeo and Juliet ~ the
Mountain Scene, from "Cymbelne," and two acts
of " Measure for Measure" This is, indeed. bril-
liant bill and the occasion, crowned with the strong
sense of Completed labor, and tOuched-as all fare
wells are-with o sense of sadness, cannot fail to
please in it's passage and to leave In the memory an
Ineftaceable impression.

IILNTS OF TILE TIMES.

During last week two COlOred men were
admitted to the iury-box in Baltimore !;
the first time such a concession to modern ideas
has been made, since Maryland was State. A
similar hint of the change in public opinion was
given last week in the courts OF Philadelphia
where 5000 damages were awarded TO COL
Ored man and his wife, against Mrs. John Drew
proprietor Of the Arch Street Theatre. Her
employees, it appears, not only sold these people
tickets of admission, but aftCrward on payment
of an additional sum, gave them reserved seats.
Upon their attempting to take possession OF
their seats, they were fOrcibly elected from the
theatre. This happened four years ago. mat
the damages came at all proves that the world
moves. But it moves slowly. In justice to
PHILADELPHIA, however, we must remember that
ONLY few years ago colOred people were not
Dcrmitted to enter a street car, theatre, lecture
room, or any place of secular amusement OF IN
structlon, unless they went as beasts OF burden,
carrying white child.
Nothing, however, indicates the complete
reversal of popular prejudice into fair dealing
more than the justice with which the Whitaker
case has been regarded outside of the narrow,
bot-beaded clique Mt West Point There was

because of his color, and his guilt or innocence
will not alter one whit the severe public disap-
proyal of the manner in which colOrcd cadets
are treated in the National Academy. Even
if this individual cOlOred cadet turn out to be
coward and trickster, the public will lind no
excuse in that fact for the 'persistently brutal
conduct of his associates toward men Of his
race. We are gaining common sense with
years. "Nigger" and "red devil" arc no
longer arguments that cover all sides OF the
question. Before this century closes, 1t is GER
tain that each man, whether black, red or
yellow, will have his every legal and political
chance, equal to the white. AS for social
equality, that is n matter which cannot be leglS-
lated. Every man has n right TO his preferences
on that score. Some white men may object to
associate with a man whose skin is tinged with
burnt lumber, just as some black men may have
prejudice against tricky politicians, bride
takers, or other men whose cuticles are white,
the stain having only blackened their minds and
mOrala.

the largest county In the State, and by reward
ing boilers for an act Of dislOyalty to the estaD
Iished rules Of the party. Certainly he cannot
hone that convention of sane and sober men
will dare to nominate q candidate by such
means.
But the opinion grows, in Illinois and else
where. that the third-term faction has become
40 desperate as to care little whether the
Republican party succeeds or not, unless it can
WELD absolute power within the party. when
it Is demonstrated that the ex-Presluent, IL
nominated, would run great risk OF beng
defeated even IN his own State, the thlrd-term
faction gives no heed 60 the Danger, but insists
that he shall be nominated all the same. IL
seems to be the feeling Of the faction when
uses his name that, if he cannot be elected, the
Republican party shall not he permitted to elect
anybody else. If the managers about him are
to be disappointed in their personal schemes
they apparently intend that the Republican
party shall be dragged down to defeat with
them. Little they seem to care for the welfare
of the country; little for the high and honor
able objects which the Republican party strives
to promote. ave will smash the party, Unless
eve can rule it by using the name of General
aGrant," seems to be their spirit Against this
despotic, unpatriotic spirit the Republican
party in National Convention will need TO
he Oh its guard TO its patriotism appeal may
be taken with confidence. The Republicans who
wear no mans collar and are slaves of no man,
the Republicans who care nothing Tor Office and
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT but everything for the
principles Of the party, the Republicans who DO
not want to see the Government turned over to
Democratic control unless they can have their
own way in all things, appeal without fear to
their National Convention to see that the party
is not wrecked by fatal nomination, effected
by disgraceful means. Some Of them desire one
candidate and some another but all desire that
the will of the majority of the party shall not
be defeated by fragrant fraud, and that candl-
date may be nominated who can be elected

their honorable action, while it relieves them
from the stigma Of personal dishOnor, does not
by any means acquit the party of the RESPONSE
bility for an Infamous transaction. And we are
fighting the Democratic party, as an organlza-
ton, much more than any Of its leaders OF

ocratic party, and bad men in the Republican,
The mischief which the Kickers and Scratchers
are at work at is to make the people believe
that the good men in the former, and the bad

pressed with what he there that he assures the
Democratic brethren that "1ilden loves the DEM
Ocrstc party as q good man loves his wife" And
the good man expects the party, ike the
wife, to love, honor and obey" him. Occasionally
the party shows symptoms OF uneasiness under sucn
complete though exacting affection.
The third term is too far gone for claiming and
Boosting to save 1T.
General Ewing has concluded that Grant will not
be nominated at Chicago, because "the Republican
party Is too sensible and too fond of power volun-
tarily to give us new issue the formidableness
of which no man can yet MEASURE" That Is pre-
cisely the way it looks to the Republican party.
Colonel John B. Brownlow, OF Tennessee, son OF
"Parson" Brownlow, has not much encouragement
to give the well-me7ning Republicans OF the North
who entertain the dslusiOn that Grant might carry
some of the Southern States He tells reporter Of
The Cincinnati Commercial that in all the Southern
States the Democrats havo the electoral machinery,
and "they will beat Grant by as big o majority as
any other man." He cuts down the number 9 ero OF
fourteen to twelve, and says Sherman is the IA
vOrite in the State. but that neither he nor any
other Republican candidate can hope to carry 1t.
The question is not whether General Grant de-
serves third term as o reward for services rem
dered That is not the point at all. The thing the
Republican party wants to do this year is to elect,
not merely nominate President. 1t Is an un-
doubted fact that a majority of the Republicans of
tine country are opposed to third term, and it Is
also fact that q large number of them would re-
fuse to vote for 0ne Whether their opposition be
"sly prejudice" or not it exists, and its existence
makes the nomination of Grant perilous one.
That is the point at issue.
Let Joel Parker rejoice There arc now two men
in the United States who consider him possible
Presidential candidate. OF course Judge Joel
Parker is one, and General Thomas Ewing Is the
other The latter tells reporter of The Cincinnati
ENQUIRER that he does not believe Tilden will he
able to secure twothirds of the Cincinnati COnven-
tion and that either Jewett Hancock or Parker
will be tho Democratic nominee. He is inclined TO
think Jewctt would DO the strongest candidate.

TIE THIRD TERM LEADERS DESPERATE

THE THIRD TERM LEADERS DESPERATE.
The action of Senator Logan and his third
term followers gives ample justification for any
cou1so which the defrauded element in the
Republican party in Illinois may see fit to take.
No convention deserves respect or allegiance
which violates the common law of the party
the fundamental rules of the party Organiza-
ton. No rule of party action is better estab-
lished or more universally respected than that
which forbids fictiOus secession by minority
from convention which represents the will of
the majority. 1t is not denied that the Cook
County Convention, from which the Grant men
bolted did represent the will OF the majority OF
Republican voters in that county. Even the
third-term faction admits this, by Offering to
recognize, as entitled TO seats in the State Con-
yention, o delegatiOn containing antl-Grant men
from four districts and Grant men from only
three in that county. But this is all thai they
could have claimed had they Loyalty and
decently submitted to the decision of the
Comfy Convention. They preferred to bolt,
without excuse or preteXt, and therefore for
fcited. by their own voluntary act Of dislOyalty
IN the representative rule of the party, any
share Whatever in the delegation. If State
Convention, after such performance, gives to
the boilers all that they could have claimed If
thew had made no factiOus resistance to the
majority, what right has such convention to
claim that represents the will, the rules or the
usages of the party3
Again, there is no rule that has been more
emphatcally affirmed in the National Conyen-
lions of the Republican party, than that which
gives to each district the right to select dele
gates who shall represent its will, without
restraint by iustl uctions or q unit rule from
State Convention. When the Republican party
calls a convention, it does so subject to the
rules of representation which the party In It's
previous conventions has established. But
Senator Logan openly declares that the
majority in the State shall control the entire
representation from the State, contrary to the
wishes Of the majority in moro than half OF the
districts, and he secures that pretended
majority in the State, moreover, by high
handed defiance of the will Of the majority in

REPUBLICAN, CONVENTIONS YESTERDAY.
The Illinois Convention was the central
point of interest yesterday on the political
field. 1t took no decisive action on the Chicago
contest. adjoining until this morning to wait
for the report of the Committee on Credentials,
but its preliminary proceedings showed that
the Grant men have large majority with both
sets of delegates from Cook County excluded
from voting. IT the regular delegation is adj
mitted this majority will be cut down to veiy
narrow margin; if mixed delegation OF
regulars and boilers is seated, as looks prob
oblc. it will still be ample for all legitimate
nurnoses of controlling the Convention.
Whether the thrd-teIm managers will fisk an
attempt to make up solid Grant delegation
and bind it by instructions and unit rule,
remains to be seen. Wishing, as they must,
that the party may present united front IN
November, they cannot afford to stl1e aOsO-
lutely the voice of almost One-half OF the
delegates, and of more than One-halt OF those
representing Republican counties Now that
thew have won the fight, SO far rs getting
control of the State Convention is concerned,
tbey NAV be prudent enough to refrain from
an attempt to break down the principle OF
district representation.
The Minnesota Republicans formally placed
Senator Window in the field as their choice
for the Presidency and gave him thorough
going Endorsement, praising his character and
public record and expressing confidence in
his ability to unite all elements OF the party
Their action is not a surprise. There has been
n good deal of talk in Washington of late abou,
the availability of Mr.. Window, in case
neither Of the prominent candidates should
be able to get majority in the Chicago Con-
vention, and it is not strange that the State
he has represented in the House and Senate
for twenty-one consecutive years should want
TO make the most of whatever opportunity
may arise to obtain for him the nomination
The second choice of the delegates becomes a
matter of interest in view of the possible with
drawal of the Minnesota candidate after one OF
two ballots. Seven of them are reported to
favor Blaine, one Sherman, one Edmunds and
one Grant
EFIom the Nebraska Convention we have no
news at the hour of writing beyond the pre-
liminary proceedings which seem to indicate
n leaning toward Blaine.

Any man can see the folly Of nominating at Obi

Democrats have only to carry New-YOrk and In

this year. without the full Republican vote New
York cannot be carried by the Republicans. 1t IS
useless to disguise that fact Does anybody pretend
that with the thirdterm the leading issue. as 1t
would be with Grant as the candidate, the full
