The ensuing week is rich with promise,
being the Emma Abbott Opera company
at the beginning of the week and winding
up with the engagement of the Harrigan
& Hart "Squatter Sovereignty" company,
commencing Thursday evening.
Of the latter the Buffalo Commercial Ad-
uertiSer has the following: "Squatter Sow
ereignty" was performed at the Academy
of Music last evening, for the first time in
Buffalo, before an immense audience, the
galleries especially, being crowded to their
utmost capacity. The play is in the hands
of strong combination under the man
agement of Mr.. M. W. Hanley,
and the leading characters
are capitally rendered, affording no
end of amusement. "Squatter Sovereign
ty' illustrates the life of the "shanty Irish,''
on the outskirts of New York, and all that
can be said for it is that it is full of fun.
The Widow Nolan, by John H. Ryan, and
Felix Mcintyre, by Sam E. Ryan, are rich
and rollicking character delineations, and
the Widows anxiety about her "buck billy
goat is highly amusing. Another good
character, we'll played, is Capt. Frederick
Kline. by Max Arnold. The chief purpose
of the others in the cast--the Maguires
| and the McIntyres- appears to be to raise
merry ructions whenever they meet. There
are some entertaining songs and dances.
and the whole forms decidedly hilarious
hodge podge of fun and melody.

4 BILL TINT SHOULD PISS.

The bill creating board of charities
and corrections in this state, is still undis-
posed of by the house, and before final
action it would be a help to many of its
members if they would investigate the sub
iect. These boards now exist in ten states,
and are being introduced into others, be-
cause experience and testimony attest
their great public usefulness and economy.
They represent the material wisdom of
men who have given years to the study of
how to best care for our penal classes, and
how most wisely to provide for the unfor-
tunate and dependent. The experience in
Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan is to the
effect that these state boards have secured
great reforms in the conduct of county
poor houses, and in the arrangement OF
iails, and in providing for those thrown
upon the public charge.
This particular bill originated in the
delegation sent by Gov. Hubbard to attend
the eighth annual national convention of
charities and corrections at Madison, Wis,
last summer. On the representations Of
such men as Judge Young, DR.. Hutchins
Mr.. Williams, D. G. Bell and others, OF
Minneapolis, and Dr.. Dana, Rev. Mr.. Breed
E. W. Chase, of the relief society, anj
others of this city, and prominent men
elsewhere, the governor cogently com
mended to the legislature the creation of &
board similar to those in other states. AT
ter correspondence with Gen. Brinkerhoff
of Ohio, and Hon. w. J. Baxter, of Michi-
gan, the present bill was drawn up, en-
bodying the best features of the Ohio and
Michigan laws. The board is non-partisan.
TO serve without compensation, is advisory
not executive in its functions, and is
charged with keeping the governor, and
through him the legislature, in formed as
TO the condition of the penal and charita-
bic institutions of the state, the necessities
of the latter in the Same line, the improved
features of reformatory institutions in
9th er states, the character of the county
poor houses, and whatever is OF importance
to be known respecting the dependent
classes in the state. The measure is one
suggested by motives of humanity, and
&c BIGSS14lS Ill0 lIObI 6n0Cllf0 anu dQNduC6U
system in vogue in the land. 1t will put
Minnesota abreast of other states, secure
the best care of her needy persons, prevent
abuses in the institutions now supported
by the state, and place within reach of the
public the newest methods and 1nforma
tion pertaining to charitable and correc
tional institutions.
The bill has no political intent, and has
been brought forward and advocated sole
ly on grounds of philanthropy and public
usefulness. 1t would be a grave misfor-
tune to lose SO excellent measure through
ignorance of It's intent, and its results
where it has been made into law. The
eighth and ninth annual reports of the ma
tional conventions of charities and correc-
tions held in 1881 and 1882, give the fullest
information as to this subject, and the
testimony of statesmen, social science
specialists and states, as to the public val
Ne and economical and moral utility of
these state boards.

Skating C0rniyaL.

The skating rink was the scene of a
brilliant gathering last night. The at
tendance being tho largest of the season, it
being estimated that no less than seven
hundred pleasure seekers were present,
among whom was large delegation from
the legislature. The skating was superb,
and most enjoyable evening was passed,
the feature of course being the magnificent
display of fireworks. Many of the pieces
were notable, one in particular being fine.
It was full length piece, and represented
the figures of Mr.. Window and Speaker
Fletcher, with the words "A Good Chief"
over the top or apex, the whole being in
tended as burlesque on Gordon E. Coles
speech where he portrays the effect of the
last gun.
It was in red and blue lights and tie eff
feet was very fine. There were a number
of other fine pieces representing a polka
waltz, flower basket, the north star, red
lights. rockets, bombs, etc.
At the conclusion of the display, Mana
ger Geo. II. Hazard was presented with a
handsome morocco autograph album as a
token of esteem from the members of the
legislature. 1t contained their signatures,
and in acknowledging the souvenir ne
made happy speech.

IKE story of the assassination of Lord
Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke, as
told yesterday by Carey, one of the par
Elephants, is one of the most fendish re-

the metal schedule could not be disposed

more than two copies in any one invoice,

Mr.. Allison gave notice that unless the

it aside to proceed with the appropriation

Mr.. Bayard's amendment was discussed

The house tariff bill is no more. 1t was
practically strangled yesterday by the men
who gave it birth, for its very hideousness
rendered it repulsive to the sight, and the
stencil that arose from the putriditv and
corruption that had infected it made even
its parents sick at the stomach. Mr.. Dun
nell gave it its public quietus yesterday,
and at the same time announced that there
had never been any intention of perfecting
or passing the monstrosity, and that his
colleagues had been simply trying to de-
ceive the people with the idea that they
were DESTROYS of revising the tariff rates in
such manner as to relieve the sorely bur-
dened people of some of their expressions.

THEIR FORCE.

The storm at Kansas City on Sunday
recalls the absurd comment we saw in
an eastern paper, year ago, concern
ing the destruction of houses by So
called cyclones. The paper referred to
said that the houses destroyed were
very fimsy, and advised people to
construct strong walls if they wished to
be secure! The writer of this learned
advice simply didn't know what he was
talking about. If one of these funnel
shaped revolving clouds we're to strike
the custom house or sub-treasury in
New York, it would lift either of the
buildings, strong as they are from their
foundations, and scatter the debris from
the battery to Staten Island. Nothing
that man has ever yet constructed is ca
pable of resisting the force and fury #
