The people, the press and the public OF
Chicago have been warmly discussing the
theater question, and one preacher has been
undiscriminating in denunciation. May not
some of the faults of the theater be owing to
this wholesale condemnation? If all the
pious people remain away from the churches,
all the honest from the merchants exchanges
and all the pure from social visits, VIII at
would church, exchange and visitings be-
come? If the christian go to the theater
the plays and performances will be con-
formed to the influences he spreads around
him. The evil of the theater is not a neces-
sarily existing thing, but the fruit of cir
cumstances. In the theater, as in trade, the
supply is governed by the demand, and if
The demand be governed by purity of thought
and conscientiousness of scrupls, the lessons
of the stage will be elevating and promotive
of virtue. discriminating censure rarely
accompanies sound cause.

orally sown this year than ever before. Many
Of our farmers who have heretofore cultivated
large acreage of land in other crops, re-
quiring constant attention, are this year
seeding down large part Of their farms to
clover and herd grass or red-top. As an
evidence of the interest being taken in this
subject, one OF the largest seed dealers in this
city informed cur reporter that they had al
ready sold this year more grass seed, OF
various kinds, than they had sold
during the whole of last season.
The fruit interests Of this vicinity
have been gradually increasing for several
years, but the coming season, if good fruit
year-which at present seems very likely
will witness greater activity than has ever
been manifested in the fruit market here.
The farmers are this year buying largely Of
improved agricultural tools and imple-
ments, which is an evidence that they, too,
are keeping pace with the progress OF other
industries in this part of the country. The

Nashville Beacon: According to.the old
est inhabitants, this is the mildest winter
that has ever been experienced in this sec
ton. There has not been enough cold
weather TO kill the grass, and the yards and
meadows have been covered with a green
coat all the winter. In various parts of the
country the p-ach-trees are budding, and if
the weather remains "a warm and pleasant
for the next week as il has been in the past,
ths orchards will be in bloom in a few days
All this being premature will probably en-
tail failure of fruits. This kind of weather
will also seriously damage the wheat crop.
Should heavy frost fall after the wheat has
jointed, the crop will be shortened"

KEEP up the price of the necessaries i'm

give them cheap whisky and low-priced
tobacco. Double the iron-tie duty upon the
cotton-grower, but make liquid hell-fre
cheap enough fer every one of his cotton
pickers to be able to get drunk on a small
expenditure; make his sugar, his salt,
his coat, his hat, the paper pulp that goes to
make the paper he should read, high in
price, that the monopolist may get fat. In
Congress the Ways and Means Committee
are to report reduction of the whisky tax,
but not thing necessary for the comfort

to have cent of tax removed. This is the
same sort of graspiDg spirit as that which
makes the Eoglish send their vile opium to

drunk, all is right if it fill the pockets of

WASHINGTON is torn with trouble about
precedence, and of course the ladies take
precedence in making the trouble. Mrs.
Blaine, when her husba nd was transferred
from the senatorial to the cabinet circle,
offended many of her colleagues by sending
them cards for reception without having
first called upon them. They took the
ground that the senators help appoint her
creature and beneath them in rank, to which
she replies: "Well, then, the Legislators who
elected your husbands senator's had prece-
dence over you, and the voters over them"

Mr.. Kas-on will on Tuesday ask The House
| to consider the tariff commission bill.
Mr.. Pound, from the Committee on Pub
| lie Lands, reported a resolution calling on
the secretary of the interior 10 report the
| annual gross earnings and net earnings OF
The Central Pacific Kansas Pacific, Union
Pacific and Branch Union Pacific railroads
from the commencement OF operations until
the present. Adopted.
The House then went into Com mittee OF
the Whole on the postoffice appropriation
bill.
The clause under consideration was that
appropriatrng over $4,000, 900 for the trans
portatiou of the mails by rail. An amend
ment was agreed to-S5 to 69-providing
that the mails shall be carried without
extra charge on the fastest trains whenever
the postmas err general thinks it desirable,
and upon failure to comply with this pro-
vision the compensation OF the roads will be
reduced fifty per cent.
Mr. Singleton III. offered proviso pro-
hibiting the dirconiinuance of steamboat
mail service on the Mississippi river between
ST. Louis, Missouri, aud St Paul, Minnesota,
so long as navigation remains open. Ruled out.
The clause for the transportation of the
mails across the ST. Louis bridge was
amended so to authorize the postmaster
general to pay for the special service there
not over $50 900, or more than the lowest
private bid for the service.
The clause relating to the Star-route trans
portation being reached, Mr.. Springer offered
an amendment providing. that no part of the
appropriation shall be Isid for expedited,
extended or increased service, the cost OF
which would exceed $1,000, unless there had
been new advertising and letting.
Mr.. Page opposed the amendment as en-
failing dless expense, and in the interest
of a ring about the capital the most damna-
bic that ever existed.
After Mr.. Springer had defended the
amendment authorizing the postmaster
general TO terminate any mail contract which
had been sublet at a lower rate, and to enter
into contract with the sub contractor at the
same price for which he had agreed TO per-
form the service.
Mr.. Page heartily approved OF this as be-
ing the only honest amendment yet offered.
Pending action, the committee rose.
\ motion was made TO adjourn till Thurs
day, but the Republicans flibustered TO
prevent it and secure an adjournment TO to-
morrow.
After long discussion. however, the mo-
ton TO adjourn over as carried.

The Board of Indian Commissioners are
acknowledging that the Indians do well
where the peace policy is pursued. Help
the Indian to ciyilize, teach his children to
read, arouse in himself the desire to live in
a house like a white mans, and have home
comforts around him, and the Indian makes
fairly good citizen, and begins to have an
ambition to stand in decent and respect
able position in the world. To do all this
costs less than keeping troops and horses to
pursue the poor creatures from valley to val
ley, to destroy their wigwams and drive them
out to be vagabonds upon the earth. Why
was not this policy pursued long ago? Why
were rum, missionaries and bullets all we
had to give them? Because when they were
made mad with drink, and were shot down
for behaving like madmen, white scoundrels
got their lands. Mammon is god who de-
mands heavy sacrifices and bloody rites
