AMUSEMENT MATTERS.
Robson and Crane I'm sComedy of Err.
rOrso To-niChf

Robson and Crane, last week, set the pub
lie expectation at high pitch for their per-
Torrance Of the twin Dromio in Shakes
peare's Comedy of Errors" There was
nothing in the previous work of these com.
edians to suggest even remotely that it
would be possible for them to either make
up or talk alike. The double necessity of
like appearance and speech in order to Gre
ate the illusion of the errors and carry out
the plot, stimulated q peculiar interest in
this effort of Robson and Crane on account
Of the difficulties in the way. Well, the
difficulties we're overcome in a marvellous
manner by the mimicry of Crane Robson's
Dromio was the comedy role proper, in his
own natural style and voice. Cranes
Dromio was the mimic, and so perfect an
imitation that it was difficult for those who
knew the actors best to distinguish the two.
Both together they gave highly amusing
and successful performance. Neither the
Dromios nor their Inasters-the latter also
q perfect double in makeup and manner
meet until the last scene of the last act,
and the ikenesses even then do not suffer
by comparison. The crown of the perform
ance is the recitative concert of the two
Dromios, acknowledging their brotherhood,
and this Is their original business The
whole entertainment was genuine aud re-
ceiyed with every mark of satisfaction.

A Strong Endorsement.

Those temperance men who are afraid to
vote for Mr.. Libby on temperance grounds
should read the following resolution and see
if Mr.. Libby's record as public Official
should not dispel all their apprehension. At
meeting of the Cumberland County Lodge,
l. o. of G.. T. held at Deering, February 10,
1875, it was unanimously resolved, 'That
we heartily endorse the noble stand taken
by our worthy county attorney, Mr.. Charles
F. Libby, in his efforts to secure the impair
tial enforcement of all the criminal laws on
the statute book. without distinction in favor
of one law more than another" They furth-
ermore pledge the support of the temper
ance influence in his interest Verify those
temperance men who now oppose him must
have short memories.

The Citv Council.

The list of Republican nominees for Aid
ermen and Councilmen will bear the closest
scrutiny. The talk which has been INDUCED
in by thinking Republicans in the workshop,
counting-room and Office as to the necessity
for selecting the best men to represent the
several wards, men who have knowledge
of business affairs, and TO which Mr.. Baxter
recently gave voice, has borne rich fruits in
the careful choice of candidates, and we may
be sure of discreet and intelligent admins
tration of city affairs during the ensuing
year, keeping up the long time reputation OF
Portland for good government. All that now
rema ms for the Republicans to do is to go
to the polls and ratify by their vote their ex-
cellent nominations.
The Portland daily press., 1882-03-06
The Issue.

The issue in the election of to-day ought
to be clearly understood by every voter.
Much effort has been made to obscure it by
persons interested in the defeat of Mr.. Lib
by. One would think by the outcry made by
some of the professional temperance men,
who serve in each election as Democratic
auxiliaries, that Mr.. Libby was an enemy OF
temperance and champion OF free rum
The insincerity of these people is proved by
the fact that their denunciations are concen-
trated on Mr.. Libby while Mr.. Deering, an
outspoken opponent of the prohibitory law,
is not attacked AS matter of fact they well
know that Mr. Libby has record of con-
spicuous efficiency in the enforcement of this
law while he was County Attorney, which is
proof positive that his views as to the public
policy of the law would not at all interfere
with his vigorous enforcement of it, when
in public position whose duties called upon
him to act upon the SuDJect.
So that really the issue, which these self
stituted guardians of the prohibitory law are
forcing upon the citizens of Portland, is the
right of free speech. Their denunciations
of Mr.. Libby, who as County Attorney was
conspcuously energetic in the enforcement
of this particular law, as attestedby officers,
Judges and juries alike, are based upon bis
public utterances, in which he has dared to
question the wisdom of the prohibitory law
as practical remedy for the evils of intem-
perance. When men who have deserved
well of the public in their official conduct
are denounced for their private opinions, 1t
is time for all good citizens to protest against
such intolerance.

under which King. Bezonian?

Every voter in Portland is called upon tor
day, by his duty to himself and the commun-
ity, to record his choice between Mr.. Libby
and Mr.. Deering, for the Office of Mayor of
the city for the ensuing year. No one can
discharge this duty by refraining to vote or
by throwing away his vote on some person
whose election is impossible. The plain test
is presented to the citizens and each voter
must assist one of the principal candidates
by his action or inaction.

PRICE 8 CENTS.
A Fraud.

The rumor is current that votes for Charles
J. Chapman for Mayor will be circulated at
the polls to-day by persons who viii pretend
to be acting by Mr.. Chapman's desire. This
is palpable cheat as Mr.. Chapman is too
good Republican to countenance any such
proceeding. 1t is apparently a weak device
of the enemy to lure away some Republican
votes and thus by multiplicity of candi-
dates TO seek to prevent choice, as ma
jority over all is required to elect.

going over the list OF Voters OF
40 ebunsA on Tuesday of last week,
and they will probably be busy at that
and filling the wheel for this year, till
the end of this week. They try to
give all voters an equal share Of jury
duty, but on account of so many per-
sons changing their places of residence
during the three years, this is i'm
possible.
We direct attention to the adver-
tisement of the Leonard Scott Pub
fishing Co., Of New York, in another
place in this paper. This firm repub-
fishes the four leading Reviews of
Great Britain, published quarterly
and also BIackwood's Edinburgh Mag
azine (monthly) which we can recon-

The prices or the reviews and maya
zine have been greatly reduced for
this year.
The law requiring County Super
intendents to hold Teachers Institutes
was passed in the spring of 1867, and
the first institute of this county was
held that fall. Samuel Glenn was
then County Superintendent. Previous
to that time Superintendent Black,
Balph, Crafty and Ferrero had been
County Superintendents and had or
ganiztd little conventions OF teachers
in different parts of the county.
Strange to say, no record, whatever,
has been kept of any Institute ever
held in the county, but hereafter there
will be. Superintendent Murtland has
procured book in which he will place
the minutes of the Institutes held by
him aud afterwards transfer the book
TO his successor.
