THE city appears to be uncomfortably full
of burglars again. Perhaps the gontlemanly
safe blowers have come to help certain friends
out of trouble. One good turn deserves an

can vote If they care to exercise the privilege
They do not propose to live under a
monarchial form of government, and our
district form of government is that or worse
Tho commissioners who arc put in charge of
our affairs arc not in sympathy with tho
people, and never lose a chance to
snub the citizens aud thwart there
desires, They have nothing in common
with us, aud they are mt of us. Nine-tenths
of the residents of the government arc in fa-
vor of local self government 1t is only
few rich men who have long constituted tho
money aristocracy, and who can always get
what thoy want from the district commits
sionors, whether il is against tho interest Of
the community or not, who oppose the popu'
lar wish. There are thousands of reasons
why we should have local self government
and no valid reason why wo should be denied
tho right that is given to citizens of every
other quarter of tho republic"
w#a
1t is understood that mountainous petitions
for local suffrage will be laid before congress
this winter, signed by AN overwhelming ma
jority of tho residents of Washington

"In fifty years" remarked the censuss statis-
tiOian, the United States will have u popula-
ton of not less than 15O,0O0,000. The tide of
immigration will grow larger and stronger
year by year, and that together with the
natural increase in population will give us
150,0O0,000 people in fifty years from tho
present date. With increased population
will como larger patriotism, a deeper
and better intelligence, and moro general
diffusion of tho wealth of tho people. 1t will
always be possible for men TO accumulate
colossal fortunes in America, and it is right
they should have tho right to build up estates,
but the masses will grow rich too. Those OF
us who live fifty years will see tho grandest
nation the sun ever shone upon. The nations
of the old world will be pitifully Insignificant
by comparison"

The sensational reports that arc aloat to
the effect that enormous quantities of coun-
terfeit silver dollars are in circulation do not
alarm the United States treasury officials
They have been aware for months of, the ex-
istence of q dangerous counterfeit coin, aud
they have been on the lookout, but thus for
only few have found their way to the
treasury, II circumstance which leads Treas
urer Wyman and his assistants to think there
are not inauy out. Were it otherwise, more
would naturally turn up.
@%#
Counterfoiting is far less popular than it
was in ye olden time. The enterprising
''coinackers" find their paths beset with
thorns. During the past five years not over u
half dozen pardons have been granted, and
the policy of the treasury and justice depart
ments is dead against the vicious practice of
convicting and sentencing counterfeiters and
then turning them loose again to prey on the
public before sentence is half served out. 1t
so happens that nearly all the dangerous
counterfeiters are doing time" and that
those who are at large are chary about getting
behind the bars again.

The little great men of tho democratic
party are trying TO shoe Ben Butler of from
tho entrance TO the presidential race course.
Bayard, Palmer Payne, and other trottors of
tho $3.50 class, together with some of tho
aesthetic sort of democratic editors, affect to

u feeling of pure philanthropy. The demo

by o greatly reduced majority, the democracy
are now dividing up tho political Canaan

talked to tho modern Athenians like rich

himself and the Marsh family Of Tewksbury.
He alluded to the charge that he was curry
ing favor with the paupers at Tewksbury to
help him to tho presidency, and said it was a
great compliment. He dwelt upon it with
such unction rs to make it evident that he
considered himself on the presidential track.

threaten Officer Jenny, who instantly
recognized him as an old offender
whom he captured in the Crystal
Palace saloon during the fever oflS79.
named Henry Jones. Jenny was a
little careless about securing him after
the capture, and he got away, taking
Jenny's weapon with him.

Raymond and His New Play.
AS soon as the comedian John L.
Raymond appeared on the stage at the
theater last night the audience, q
very large one, began to laugh all at
once, and the merriment never tagged
until the end of the performance. The
play proved q decided success and
afforded the liveliest satisfaction. Mr..
Raymond is supported BY most ex.
cellent company, aud many compli.
ments were passed upon the proficiency
of its work. Mr.. Raymond, as Major
Bob, is highly amusing from first to
last, and he holds the stage
with only a few brief intermissions
from the opening to the close of the
piece. A mining camp in Idaho is
the opening scene of the play, and the
action is afterwards transferred to
Chicago. The first incident pictures
an old whisky soaked reprobate steal
ing his daughters earnings to spend
for drink. A genteel gambler detects
the act, and through threats Of ex-
posure induces the old man to appoint
him the girls guardian, with per-
mission to marry her if he can. The
young lady has a faverite sweetheart,
and don't wish to, but gives consent
to save her worthless old father.
Major Bob turns up as friend to the
lady and her true love. He goes tc
Chicago in the second act to practice
law With a partner, and the young
lady attends an educational insti.
tuition. The genteel gambler
is about to marry her, when the Major
finds out he has wife. At the
proper moment. and in time to save
the heroine, the abandoned wife con.
fronts the villain, the whole affair
being cleverly managed by Major Bob.
The latter's law partner is executor
of a valuable estate left to the heroine
by relative, and after she is saved
from the Vaccinations OF a rascal,
this estate is placed in her possession
all in good time to let her marry the
man Of her choice, 1t is very clev-
erly wrought plot, and the feminine
partswe charmingly portrayed. The
bills call In Paradise" a roaring sue.
cess, and it is so really. in Para.
dis" again tonight.
Hazel Kirke.
A letter, dated New York, February
9th, from Mr.. Daniel Frohman, mana.
ger OF the Madison Square Theater,

Madison Square Theater, will visit
yeu shortly to arrange for the coming
engagement Of Hazel Kirke" in your
city. This remarkable dramatic sue
cess, which has been presented over
1000 times, will be given by a company
direct from the Madison Square The.
alter. The reputation Of the theater is
a sufficient guarantee as to the general
excellence of the company and the
manner of its representation. For
any favors shown we shall be pleased
