1.-THE TOURISTS
At tho Opera HOuso Last Night.

Mestayer's Tourists in Pullman
Palace Car" railroaded through several
hours of bOisterous mirth at Fulton opera
house last night before an audience that
might with comfort have been seated in
the parquet, but which was scattered over
the room in spots. Fun ruled the hour,
and laughter anG applause ran riot during
the continuance of the performance,
which, by the way, was drawn out to an
unreasonable length, and might properly
have been cut short half an hour earlier
than it was. The people seemed to enjoy
it, however, and this fact probably en-
cOuraged the management to keep it up,
for there's nothing in it," and it might
just as we'll stop one place as another.
The first scene has been entirely re-wr;t-
ten since its former production, tho
second, whilst devoid of essentially new
features, is funny, and the third is posi-
lively dull. The music was of small
account. The little man with voice like
a calliope distinguished himself by the
savage style in which he assaulted the top
notes and sang round the key without
ever striking it Mestayer acts his songs,
and you are not expected to notice
whether he sings them or not Longs
voice sounds as though it had been trained
in a cellar, and that very deep one.
Miss Vaughn's contralt0 is rich and pow.
erful and her German and character songs
were capitally done. The only really ex-
cellent voice in the company upon tho oc-
casiOn of its former visit, that of Miss
Kellogg, was conspicuous by its absence.
This little lady whose highly cultivated
soprano did SO much to enhance the
musical merit of the previous performance,
left the company some time since, and the
loss of her voic, is at once apparent in the
qaality of the music as rendered in last
nights performance: It is kindness to
Mr.. Mestayer to remind him that he cannot
expect to support his show on its past repu-
tation, and that to maintain full measure
of public favor he must " keep up with
the procession" in every particular.

Mileage.


Time out of mind public officials have
abused their privilege to draw mileage.
Congressman and legislators take it and
ride on free passes, and officials of all
grades, being allowed it, avail them
selves Of like favors and include "travel-
ing expenses" not incurred, in their
contingent expenses" AfoHetime coun-
ty commissioners here who stretched the
law to fll their pockets were brought to
account by the county auditors, and in
the present examination of local abuses
the latter named board will find the
abuse of their mileage allowance by con-
stables prolific source Of profit to them
and of cost to the county. The con-
temptation Of the law is to pay officers
mileage for miles actually travelled, and
if they travel the same fifteen miles to
serve dozen witnesses, they are only
entitled to mileage for once that distance.
An examination of the constables' bills
will show the auditors that in many in
stances tie mileage is charged for each
witness and ten times the amount has
been drawn that the service
earned. So, too, when the same
witnesses were to be subpenaed
in half-dozen different cases,
it will be found that as many subpenas
were divided around among as many diff
ferent constables that each one could
get mileage, though one could have
served them, and we have reason to he.
lieve that in such cases very often one
officer does serve the whole batch though
the half dozen each get credit and draw
pay for it. 1t will be very hard to make
the public believe that this division of
spoils is not deliberately designed by the
constables and aldermen to whom they
bring their business. In case of some
years ago we found ten subpenas for the
same witnesses to the same hearing di.
vided among ten constables, and they
had been served indiscriminately by one
or two of the number, but the officers
''put in - for ten-fold costs. The con-
stables will probably say like the alder
men that they have a technical "right -
to do this, and that nobody has a illegal
right to question it. Sooner or later
the public will find relief against such
confederated schemes of plunder.

Legitimate Inquiries.

ACDITOR REED: ''Were not these sew
eral commitments made for the purpose of
multiplying the costs?"
Alderman Spurrier THAT is ques-
tion you have no right to ask"
This brief colloquy illustrates the
whole inquiry into the business of the
local magistrates. The alderman dis.
puteS the right of the auditors to ask
their question because of his own disin-
clination to answer it. Since such pat
tern was set for lower officials as the
multiplication of cases by Mayor Stauf-
fer and of indictments by District At
torney Johnson, the business of increas.
ing criminal business for the sole pur.
pose of making costs has fiourished as
never before in this county. Had Stauffer
dared to 60 on with his libel suit against
the INTELLIGENCER the whole business
would have been shown up then in court,
and had the court checked johnson in
his avaricious and outrageous conduct,
the pernicious practice might have been
cut up by the roots before every ward
constable had got at it. Whether the
auditors have a right to ask the question
or not, the public are asking it and have
answered it, for that matter. They have
served notice that they want the Office of
alderman run on a little higher plane
than solely to make costs for the incum-
bent at the expense of the Taxpayers,
and if anybody thinks this notice has
not been heard nor needed let him watch
the amounts Of the next monthly batch
of aldermanic bills.

The Pardon OF James Murderers.

AC nAu uVu Vi SOlAVS XAuA AuVA
The slayers of Jesse James, in Mis-
souri,, were pardoned by the governor of
the state in the same hour that they
pleaded guilty to the charge Of murder
ing him and received their sentence Of
death for the crime. 1t is not an edify-
ing exhibition. Gov. Crittendcn had for
his reason for pardoning self-confessed
murderers, the fact that he had prom
ised them pardon prior to their crime,
and as an inducement to it. He, there
fore, appears as an alder and abetter in
an act which is admitted to have been
a murder.
Every rational reason for the pardon
is taken away by the confession that the
act was murder. If the governor con-
siders it to have been murder, he must
consider himself equally guilty with the
convicts, as they acted admittedly under
his sanction; and he can hardly take a
more lenient view of their offense than
the convicted criminals have done.
No doubt they do not consider that
they were guilty of murder and neither
does Governor Crittenden. Yet they
have admitted, by their plea of guilty,
that the law so denominates their act,
and the governor is supposed to he the
conservator of the law. If they had
gone to trial. claiming their innocence,
and court and jury had decided against
them, they then might have appealed to
the governor for reversal of the ver-
dict, and he might with better face
have exhibited himself as agreeing with
them in their view Of an act which he
had invited them to perform and offered
them reward for doing. But it is a
graceless thing to see a governor of
state pardoning self-confessed murder
ers; :evtn though, and all the more,
that he had summoned them to murder.

rl1l 3lQ WllCn Drc1k no law. Inc most
devoted adherents of the British ministry
acknowledged that the success of their
Irish policy is more endangered by your
opposition to it than by all other causes
put together. A Land League merely
Irish they can easily repress, but league
with its roots on this sido of the Atlantic
will grow to be a power not merely formid-
able but fatal to the ascendancy of the
landlords.
Judge Black went on to tell how the
present attitude of the Land League was a
new era in tho history of the contest.
Agricultural labors resolved that they
would not work for their enemies, and
tenants said they would voluntarily pay no
rent without the distinct assurance of some
permanent and substantial relief to the
country. It was the grandest labor strike
On record. The association was perfectly
lawful. 1t spread panic among landlords,
middlemen and bailiffs. The contest de-
pened as it grew more intense. Some of
the landlords took new views of their duty;
the League pressed its appeal to the heart
and conscience of the British nation, and
SO a great revolution took place
in public opinion. A new Parlia-
ment was elected, which included
among its members the boldest and most
eloquent leaders Of the League, and a new
ministry came in solemnly pledged that
Ireland should have justice without denial
or delay. The Parliament assembled and
it soon became evident that the ministry
instead of facing tho great question of the
day like men were anxious only to shuttle
ont of their promises. The land act OF
1880 was mere abortion. No attempt
was made to sustain it. In less than
year it ceased to live and was buried out
Of sight. Something had to be furnished
in place of it. In spite of all warning
and against the steady protest Of the wisest
men the land act of 1881 was elaborated
and brought forth. Again all hopes
were disappointed the new act exas-
perated everybody and made the antagon-
ism between the parties more deadly than

though he was arrested on all these charges
at the same time and place? Witness had
been constable of Lancaster township
three or four years, so appointed by the
court, and he goes into the county to ex-
anime the roads to see that they are in
good condition. When witness makes two
or three complaints against one person it
| is all right. Sometimes the officers have
| to go two or three times after witnesses.
Then they divide the mileage and put some
on each subpoena. Witness always depends
on the aldermen in making out his bills
and does not believe lie would get into
trouble. The witnesses summoned at the
hearing of these cases were from Stras
burg and some below. It would take all
day in serving the subpenas. The con-
stable could not tell from recollection how
often he subpenaed these witness, and
when the court record was produced show.
ing the names of witnesses, Mr.. Eichholtz
said he might have subppnaed all of them.
The record shows SO witnesses to convict
10 tramps at cost of $264.48. The whole
cost of this conviction for aldermen, con-
stables and witnesses was $602.A. The
constable couldn't explain how it happened
that the names of witnesses appeared in
different col0rs of ink.
At this mornings 8 examination Constable
Eichholtz stated if the record 30 indicated
he was prosecutor in the nineteen tramp
cases under consideration. He had brought
up at least fourteen of them on the Sd of
September. Six cents circuit mileage was
charged in each separate case, though the
prisoners had been brought up in two
patches. The officers had good deal of
trouble and made several trips before Sc.
