Special TO the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, August I5.-The at.
titude ofthe Republican Congressional
Committee toward Chalmers in his
fight against Manning down in Missis-
sippi, has been pretty thoroughly
discussed in and out of the newspapers,
and usually on transformation.
Colonel Henderson, the Secretary of
the Republican Congressional Cam.
paign Committee, says that that
committee has as yet done nothing
whatever in the premises. It has
waited to see what the Republicans
would do in the district in which he
was running. Mississippi Republicans
here have urged the Committee
to be very wary Of Chalmers, whom
they regard very generally as a wolf in
she sp's clothing. For this reason he
has received nothing whatever in the
way Of assistance from the committee.
A distinguished Mississippi Republi-
can said to-day that now that the
Republicans in Chalmers district had
Endorsed him, he supposed he would
have the sympathy OF the COMPRESSION.
al Committee aud of the administra-
ton. When asked whether the
sympathy would be manifested by
donations Of money and patronage, he
said it would be substantial sympathy.
decidedly tangible. BE added, how.
ever, that il Chalmers should on
the stump make speeches which
did not commend themselves to
the Republicans of Mississippi and
the members Of the Congressional
Committee, he would receive no sym
pathy whatever. either tangible or
intangible. Chalmers is regarded as
very slippery, but it is thought to be
just possible to hold him if he is kept
dependent upon the Republican party.
1t is expected that other candidates,
for sympathy, on the ground that they
are Independents, will present them
selves in other Southern States within
the next month or two. Whenever
they prove themselves to be anti.
Bourbon and show that their chances
Of election are good they will be likely
to receive assistance from the Repub-
lacan Congressional Campaign Com
mittee.

that we have, l believe, every reason
to be artists, authors and actors. Let
us not forget what we owe to our for

and Italian; and last, not least, to our
friends and cousins, the American,
one Of whom-the distinguished actor,
Lawrence Barrett am very glad to
see here tonight, who have one and
all made III stage international, and
given US a valuable experience and
example priceless to the student which
our predecessors, unfortunately for
them, had little opportunity of gaining.
Dramatic art does not stand still, and

no more be forgotten by generations to
come than it is by you, our friends and

"'What is that noise?' said Escu-
lapius.
THAT Why that is the breaking
of the Maine lawI"
1T sounds like it indeed, and ap
pearances seem to indicate that that
famous law has become something of
a dead letter. whereupon We fill to
moralizing.
The advocates of the Maine Law
insist that it has proved a success, and
is practically obeyed; but to my fem
mime mind there seems to be an in !.
consistency in such assertions, when |
know that one eau have his glass of
'Mumm's Extra at the Bangor House
ordered from the hotel wine card;
when at any druggists be can buy
openly wine, whisky, brandy. ETC., by

"Men 20 into saloons in Maine just

81 do not follow them, but l see

THE advocates say that the law is a
success, and cite as proof that here
are neither breWeries nor distilleries.
Here again my feminine mind fails to
see the least gain in sending to Boston
for ones case Of wine or barrel of
lager, rather than to Bangor. 1t seems
to be a financial injury, with no moral
benefit, taking vast sums of money out
of the State, and in no degree stopping
the use of liquor. Esculapius says
that it would be %aipsying investment
for New York and Boston brewers to
hire these advocates to lecture against
breweries in Maine, and give them q
good salary, too.
AS to whether society is better or
worse with or without the law, | am
not trying to say, or how things might,
could, would or should be, but simply
as, under my own observation, they
are. z
Men get drunk in Portland as we'll

ourier-Journa Is.

The movement for a railroad cele-
bration in September is enlisting all
of our citizens, and the event prom
ises to be a memorable one. The city
will have such a throng of people
within its borders as it has never
known before. The street parade
will be one Of the most attractive
features of the programme, and it will
exceed in extent, interest and variety
anything of q like character seen here
before. On the night of September
18th the entire city is to be illumi-
mated on a scale which will exceed in
brilliancy and beauty the illumination
with which we greeted President
Hayes. Arches Of light will be CON
structed at the principal street cross
ings from Main to Broadway, and
public and private buildings, will
be illuminated in great numbers.
1t is also proposed to give our visitors
an old fashioned Kentucky barbecue,
though this has not been finally deter
mined on. The railroads are co D
ating heartily with our citizens, and
have agreed on a one cent rate from all
points on the Louisville, New Albany
u Chicago, one the Louisville,
Evansville & st. Louis air line; from.
Seymour and all intermediate points
on the j., M. & l.; from Huntington
and all intermediate points on the

stations on the G., 0. as. W. as far as
Memphis. This means a great crowd
all through the week, and our citizens
must be prepared. 1t is an opportu-
nifty such as Louisville has not had for
a long time, and she must make the
most Of it.

Henry Irving, at the recent dinner
Of the Royal General Theatrical Fund,
in London, commenting upon the
assertion that the English drama is
dead, said. "To reflective people the

is no more a drama than is the excel
lence Of many of its interpreters. W.
shall always hear the lament over the
dead past, of whose glories no one has
more respect than myself, though not
forgetting the vicissitudes oftbe drama
in bygone days, or the opposing and
various methods Of bygone actors and
opinions concerning them-methods
and opinions which varied without
concerning Quinn and Garrick, as with
Kemble and Kean. Why, the drama
has always been in difficulties. / pos.

1t is estimated by Bradstreet's that
there are 6,OO0,000 miles Of fence in
the United States, the cost of which
has been more than $1,000 ,OO0, 900, or
about 1925 a mile. Formerly the
fences of farms were built of wood,
and the annual repairs put a heavy
tax on farmers. The last census shows
that the cost Of such repairs in 1877
was $78.629, 900. Most farms fences
are now built Of wire, and 10000 miles
of such fence were built in 1881, at a
cost of 100000, or about half the
cost per mile OF the old wood fences.
