Highly Satisfactory Rendition OF CIRCLE
Girolfa.
Ii there were any skeptic5 as to the fast
hold that the lighter and more fascinating
order of musical compositions have on the
intelligence and culture of st. Paul, all
doubts could have been dispelled at a
glance at the exceedingly large and Gle
CANT audience that assembled at the Opera
house last night.
The audience was large and sumptuous,
and while the Boston Ideals were at their
best, the honors were mutual, as any com
psny should have felt com plimented BY
such fattering audience. Paruuette.

by as gay and fashionable an audience
as ever assembled in st. Paul.

never allowed to flag by long and dull in

the fact that it is welded to smart action.
and hence the necessity for high order
of dramatic ability to make the scenes
perfectly enjoyable.
The characters of the title role
were taken by Marie Stone, and this of
course is the central role in the operatta.
Her impersonation of the twin sisters was
highly finished and artistic as to musical
quality and makeup, and indeed she sang
and acted the role in q
spirited and enjoyable manner,
1t is part, however, which calls for great
abandon and chic, particularly in the tipsy
scene In the second act. Her acting of
this scene was arch, but marked by a too |
rigid restraint. Perhaps this was judi |
cious, FOR it is difficult to pause on the |

line where art in this scene gives way to
TOO much abandon or recklessness.
Her solo, "See how it sparkles, this
drink divine" was gem and it received
hearty applause. Mr.. Barnabee sang and
acted the role of Don. His makeup was
unique. and he impaired most of the life
to the performance. That he is a funny
comedian and good SINGER
there can be No do1bt
but at times he just verges on buffoonery.
This, however, IN characters of this Iati-
tude, was pardonable, especially as he
MADE an enjoyable papa throughout. Miss
fhililps, as Aurore, was in her element.
and this excellent artist did the part to
perfection and her solo being very enioy
able indeed.
The dancing in the second act by the two
latter, was the burlesque hit of the even
ing, and it was given with such utter
abandonment as to make the house shake
with laughter. Mr.. Whitney was the ideal

in good voice, although we have

minded one forcibly of Othelio. or

CURRENT COMMENT.

The organic law of the territories provides
for each having three United States judges, one
of whom is designated as chief Justice. The
system works badly in the fact that the three
justices in general term form the territorial
court of appeals, and each member is accord
lngly caused to sit in review upon appeals from
his own decisions. To obviate this the people
of Dakota are petitioning for the appointment
OF fourth district judge, which is the number
congress has bestowed upon Wyoming. In
Montana the pubic interest is worse off than
elsewhere, as there are only two district judges
IN hatterritory. Last April the president was
induced to suspend Judge Conger, Of the First
district on charges which apparently have not
been maintained, but the clique who secured his
suspension have had sufficient interest in Wash
ington to prevent its removal. Senator Conger
# Michigan, brother of the judge, has taken
the outfit in hand, and those who know him are
OF the opinion that there will be hair flying in
Washington before the judge is officially decap-
ltated. Meanwhile, there has not been civil
case tried in eastern Montana, since ahe fall of
1882, and no criminal trials nave been held in
Custer county since last May, nor can there be
any, from present appearances, before the spring
of 1884.

In view of the fearful prevalence of late of
murders and outrages in rural districts, where.
through the incompetence of the local police,
the perpetrators frequently escape detection. a
proposition has been made that in each state
tnere should be a central detective corps at the
disposal OF thu attorney general. They will be
available for securing evidence in civil cases
coming under the jurisdiction of that official,
and would furnish for the solving of criminal
problems staff of cool-headed, capable detec-
lyes, free from local prejudice, and expert in
ferretlng out malefactors. Some system should
certainly be adopted for bringing to justice the
host OF numbering fends, whose misdeeds fill

HE propriety of reducing the number of
Ports of entry in the United States is made mani
fest by some of the figures in the report OF the
secretary OF the treasury. There are useless
customs districts sustained only to cater to local
pride or interest. There are twenty-five ports
OF entry at which it has happened that not a
dollar of duties has been collected for years.
There are thirty-two ports of entry in which the
years collections from all sources have not
equalled the years expenses. These had i'm
