The intention OF the committee on
resolutions At Jefferson City, Wednes-
day. was to ignore the subject OF prohi-
hilton asa partisan political question,
and such WAS the intention OF the con-
vention.s TIT plank OF the plat
form which seems to allude to the
subject really means nothing as applied
to it. The view of the convention was
that there are thousands of good demo-
Gratis Oh both sides of this question.
The Intelligencer is uualterably oppos-
ed to prohibition, but it does not, there
fore. hold that every democrat who
~fsvOrs it Is a traitor to the principles OF
his party; and it believes, this beng
q representative government, that it q
respectable number OF the people ask
for the submission of the constitutional
amendment their request should be
granted. Then the question can be
tslrly met at the polls. The convention
did we'll in excluding the subject. but it
would have done better it 1t had omitted
entirely the plank which will be con-
strued to touch upon it, but which 70 lilly
In that respect amounts to nothing.

The Hyers Sisters.

This noted company of singers will
present their popular drama, Out of
Bondage" iii this city on Monday eve
ming, May Sth. They are a company of
first class artists, who have received
concentrations from the leading
critics of our country. We clip the
following from the Boston Herald:
There was very large audience
assembled at the Boston Theatre. last
evening. to hear the Hyers Sisters in
"Out Of Bondage" 1t was no ordinary
audience. but an assemblage Of all our
lovers Of high art; all the musical
critics. They came prepared for a
treat or disappointment; SO with
expectation on tip-toe aid sympathies
all in tune it was no easy matter to
meet the anticipations of the audience.
But Madah and Louise not only salts
fed, but SO stirred the emotion, so
thrilled and inspired the listeners, that
they were carried away in thought

all hold upon them. No one can de-
scribe those girls, as they stand there,
queen-like in their appearance, their
large black eyes flashing sparks of fire.
as their sweet. melodions. voices seem
ed to echo in the distance; all was
hushed until the silence of the tomb
would seem a noise; and then the
blood is sent tingling in delight at
another burst of that pure, clear voice,
which made every human heart thrill
with animation and joy. The critics
were disarmed and enthusiasm IN
chained; the audience applauded again
and again. and were only hushed by a
temperance. Such an evening of
music fills one to such an overlooking
that it seems almost sacri ligious to
speak and ones voice seems to be
harsh. The nearer is tempted to seek
some quiet nook and think it over
and live it again and again in memory"
