The uoey.uu.rdie COMPANY.

This now famous company will make their APP
pearance at the National on Monday evening in
George Hoey's beautiful drama, entitled "a Child

II says of the play: The plot fascnates from the
m0mont ceases to be Of great interest, while the
humor that or ps out here and there through the
witty sayings of Gros Rinc (Mr. George Hoey)
is the genuine article with not the least buffoon
cry. 1t is a powerful drama, finely acted and
dressed with elegance and taste. The duel scene
in the third act and the latter portion Of the fourth
worked up the audience to high degree"

The HerndOn Monument.

The visit of President Arthur to the
monument erected to the memory of his
late wife's father revives interest in the
history of the tragic death of Commander
Herndon.
The Herndon monument was erected
in June, 1860, by subscription, by Off
GERS of the navy to the memory of the
gallant commander, who, by the require
ment of the law, was in command OF a
ship of the Pacific Mail Company, and
lost his life while trying to save others.
He was in command of the Central
America, which went down in a storm
on September 10, 1857. The Captain
allowed no one to leave the vessel until
all the women and children got away.
The Captain and four hundred and eighty
persisted.
All the women and children were
saved. The monument consists of a
base and shaft of granite, pyramidal in
form. On the face of the shaft is chisel.
ed in raised letters of polished granite,
"Herndon," and on the opposite side is
September 70, 1857"
The President, during his trip to An
napolis, visited several other points of
interest, one being the monument erect
ed to the memory of Captain Richard
Somers and Lieutenants James Caldwell,
James Decatur, Henry Wadsworth, Jos.
Israel and John S. Dorsey, who fell in
the attacks on the city of Tripoli, in the
year 1904, and in the twenty eighth year
Of the independence of the United States,
at the time when the new republic, be-
coming enraged against Tripoli for the
attempted interference with her COM
merce, fitted out some war vessels, and
running into Tripoli harbor, blockaded
the old Bey and bombarded his city until
he came to terms.

The telephone is an invention Of such
recent origin that it has scarcely yet lost
its novelty, but already the telephone
service has attained astonishing proper
tons. According to the RaiEsoay Age,
the American Bell Telephone Company
has now no less than 1S9, 374 instruments
in use by customers. 1t has 500 ex-
changes in operation, 20, 525 subscribers
and 49, 16S miles of wire. These figures
show an enormous increase in the past
year. The chief difficulty Of extending
the service in great cities appears to be
that Of conveying the innumerable wires
through the streets. The company is
still experimenting in regard to the use
of underground wires, and if successful
in this direction will be able to greatly
increase the extent and efficiency Of its
service.

What the railroads have done for this
country is graphically and concisely
epitomized in last weeks issue of the
Rail,oay Record, published in Atlanta.
After pOrtraying the wonderful develop
ment everywhere presented wherever
railway lines have passed, and contrast
ing it with the wildernesses and well
nigh insupersble obstacles to progress
existing in such sections of the country
yet untraversed by those great iron pro-
moters of civilization, that paper says:
''The railroads have wrought the revo
luton which has been accomplished be-
fore our eyes. Half the cost in money
of travel, and seven-eighths of the time
are saved, in effect frightening in many
fold the duration and increasing the Ca
pacities of life. The products of the
farm are now worth as much at the
farmers door as they previously were
after being hauled long distance by
his teams. Land 200 miles from the great
lakes is worth from $40 to $75 an acre.
A thrifty farmer can become rich in a
few years by the sale of the surplus of
his farm, which, but for the railroads, he
could not sell at all. The handsome
farms, the fine school houses, the elabo-
rate churches, the comfortable dwell
ings, the thicklY planted villages of the
whole Northwest, are the direct results
of the railroads. which have made every
county accessible and convenient for set
Element. There are thirty-two million
acres of land in Wisconsin, which, taken
as a whole, have been increased five dol
lars per acre. or $3.50, 900 in the
aggregate. This land is assessed for
taxation at $500, 900, 900, which is less
than half its actual value, and it might
also be said that every dollar of addi-
tiOnal value above ten dollars per acre
has been placed upon it by the railroads,
which carry its products of grain, stock,
lumber and manufactures to distant
markets, which they would never have
reached but for the iron highway"

The dilemma in which the House
finds itself, when the project to refer to
the Court Of Claims the accumulated
mass of private bills is considered, is a
curious one. 1t is feared that if the
scheme should become a law, a vast
number OF old claims, covered with the
dust Of ages and half-forgotten by taeir
original owners, would be endowed
with new life. Then, again, the Re
publicans fear that that class of
claims known as ''war claims"
would be dumped into the court
by the Garlic and would be thrown
back upon Congress. Briefly, how
ever, says the New York Tines, ut is APP
parent that Congress is unwilling to part
with any of its prerogatives, while it is
also unable to exercise these in the mat.
ter Of settling private claims against the
government. Congress cannot do the
work, but is unwilling to put it out to
any other department of the government.
This is not a creditable state Of things.
The Just claims should be paid, and the
unjust claims should be forever debarred
This work viii involve a patient exami-
nation, which Congress has not time or
skin to give. Consequently all claims,
good, bad and indifferent. are left to
moulder and desiccate in the pigeon
holes Of the committee rooms"

The reasons given for pOstpOning the
meeting Of the international monetary
conference are that the delegates antici
pated that before the date fixed for the
reassembling, April 18th, the various
governments interested would have been
able to have come to some definite con-
clusion on the subject of bi-metallism.
This anticipation has only in part been
realized, and under the circumstances
the Governments of the United States
and of France are of opinion that it
would be desirable to defer tine summon
ing of the conference subject to the set
Element by the States interested of a date
within the present year for its reas-
sembling.

The Atlanta Constitution expresses the
opinion that should the Railroad Com
mission law be made an issue before the
people during the approaching legisla
tive campaign, it will have a bad effect.
inasmuch as it will excite bitterness Of
feeling between the people and
the railway corporations. We eau
not agree with our contemporary.
The only issue will be one of justice,
and the only question for the people to
decide is: care they willing for a law
so manifestly unjust to our railway cor
pOrations-thOse greatest benefactOrs of
the State-tO remain upon our statute
bOOks?" That is all.

It is well said that when the talk
about protecting the American working
man against the pauper labor of Europe
is INDUCED in, it should be borne in
mind that our farmers compete with the
worst paid labor in the world-that of
the Russian peasants and the English
farm hands. The Liverpool and the
London Produce Exchanges inform the
dealers in Chicago and Odessa of the
price Of wheat, and the pay of the farmer
in this country is governed accordingly.
Whether the wages of our workingmen
be high OF low. or whether there be tariff
or no tariff, the demand of foreign con-
sumers determines the prices of our great
agricultural staples.
