lost ali faith in American stupidity,

in the drama. He says the failure
of "Vera" in the city was due to his
absence from the cast. 1t is hoped
that Oscar will carry out his threat
and undertake the tour of "the

country an opportunity for partly
redeeming itself with regard to
him, and at the same
time a chance to crush out what

through a long course of training
"the provinces have come to be as
good judges of dramatic effort as
the metropolis. 1t used to be that
if play were decently received in
New York the country elsewhere
accepted it as good without question.
Now, however, even Salt Lake
takes delight in expressing her own
judgment, and at will sits down
upon a play or player without
asking or caring what New York
did with them. If Mr.. Wilde is
anxious to find out just how he and
his work stand before the American
public, by all means let him tackle |

he will learn.

THE NATIONAL question of the
hour is whether Slade and Mitchell
will fight. This has practically be-
come an international question, for
it seems that the fight has been ar
ranged to take place in Mexico. It
is almost a pity that these burly
brutes can not be permitted to maui
each other anywhere and upon
sight. We could almost wish they
WMlld be hurried together. And if
their fists are not hard enough to
answer the purpose Of mallets for
hammering each other to jelly, pro-
vide them with sledge- hammers
Indian clubs or any other conven-
lent effective weapons with which
to settle the business. The way
the authorities are hunting the
business down to prevent the fight
smacks of downright cruelty to two
ambitious examples of physical
manhood. 1t has the appearance of
interfering with the natural rights
of individuals and forcing them to
want. Mitchell and Slade are
utterly worthless unless they can
fight; deprive them of this privi-
lege and you force them to stsrva-
ton, or what is worse, compel them
to labor-something that no reputa-
BILE pugilist will ever stoop to. If
the States do not quit this cruel pur-
suit of the maulers, government
should interfere to protect these no.

HARDWOOD.

There is undoubtedly rejoicing
among the criminal classes of Great
Britain and Ireland. Marwood, the
national hangman, has gone to his
long home to make settlement of an
account that is awful to contem plate
from earth whatever it may be in
heaven. We don't know but it is
the better way to have one man do
the hanging for the nation as long as
he lives. This plan concentrates
the loathing and hate Of the country
upon the individual instead of dis
tributing it about among a score or
more of men who can be hired to
perform the ugly duty Of officiating
at the official executions. The early
residents of Salt Lake will remem-
Der the party who was popularity
believed to have taken the place of
the sheriff and for 5000 cut the rope
that held the scaffoId trap and
swung an unfortunate being into
eternity. That act shrouded the
executioner's life in darkness. His
exis tence thereafter was most mis-
cradle, men avoiding him and boys
in the street from safe distance
haunting him with his awful act.
He was known by the suggestive
title "Cut-the-Rope" better than by
his own familiar name. If this poor
man were held in such dlsesteem in
a little community, how intense
must have been the hatred toward
Marwood, who adjusted the ropes
and managed all the executions in a
great kingdom for many years! One
can imagine that life would be
burden to such a creature, and that
he would gladly escape the world,
if the fear of meeting the unfortun~
ate fellows whose business he had
done, did not make him afraid to go.

THE FRENCH IN. FOR IT.

France made short work of her
little contest with the Annamese,
bringing them into subsection and
compelling their King to sign
an alleged treaty that makes
the French supreme in the country.
But China doesn't propose TO have
it so. Her claim in AMMAN is both
older and better than that of
France, which in reality is no valid
claim whatever. being merely an
impudent assumption. The Chinese
are represented as having accepted
the French challenge, and are fast
preparing to assert their rights in a
manner more forcible than they
could in a diplomatic court. If
matters shall come to al open rup-
ture between France and China, we
may expect the latter will perform
some vigorous work to the great
modification of the French. One
Of the mistakes Of the day is the
belief that modern China is
an ignorant, weak and barbarous
nation that can be imposed upon
and abused with impunity by any
ordinary power. Chinese states
men rank among the ablest on
earth, and their diplomats are re-
cogniZed as shrewder and in every
way superior to the ordinary men
in that profession. The Chinese
army is no more a mob with stink
pots for weapons, but highly-trained,
well organized, and thoroughly
armed, their officers and drill
masters having been Europeans and
Americans, and their weapons are
of the best and most effective
known. At home France would be
no equal match for China, hence
it seems like nonsense for the
hot headed little republic to
go half around the globe to engage
in a war that must certainly
prove disastrous to it. Unless
there is early backing down on the
part of France, some interesting
news from the East may soon be
looked for, as the Chinese are
said to be fastening to the front,
$4,000 soldiers having already
the border into the territory
that the French thought they had |

AN INDIANA Judge feels that hi

AN INDIANA judge feels that his
State has been scandaIized by the
exposures of Dorsey, who states
that 100000 of the Republican
corruption fund was necessary TO
induce the Hoosiers 70 vote the
Garfield ticket. The judge has laid
Dorsey's revelations before the
grand jury, and asked that body to
investigate, of course with the view
to the indictment and prosecution
of the guilty. 1t is safe wager that
nobody will get into trouble from
anything the grand jury will do.
Bribery and corruption are cardinal
doctrines of the Republican party.
That organization has carried cleo
lions so often by the use of money
that it does not regard the practice
as even immoral, much less a
crime; and it is not certain that the
Democrats are in a condition to
hurl stones at their wicked oppon-
ents.

of the month Arthur and his cabinet
will again be at the capital, after
INDUCING in frolic extending over

plainly that affairs are not man

ing the legends in English and Ger
man posted above the windows. They
related, mostly, to diseases and the
benefit of soap applied. There were
also directions about negotiating with
the driver for change, and one, many
times repeated, and written over the
fare-box 10y the door, requested the
passenger to "put the exact fare in the
box" This legend always annoys one

tice in the bosom of the company, and
whether it would be as anxious to seek
out the traveller who should by chance
overpay and restore the excess, as it is
to follow him when he puts in too little.
If this is not the meaning of "cXact,
then the company is more anxious to
make money than TO do justice. do
not suppose this is SO, but there is one
suspicious thing about a horse-car. The
floor is sometimes n grating, and straw
