flrst Appearance OF Madame Gyer's Novelty
company.
Last evening Madame Girard Gyer's
English novelty company appeared in the
opera house aud the audience was very
large, bsng composed almost entirely OF
men and boys. The entertainment was
similar to thai given by all variety organ
izatiOus, although tho acting was not up
to the average Tue performance opened
with farce entitled SJrategem." ."
Miss Ada Henry, very large
young woman with painted hair,
who was billed as the Queen Supreme
of Bun ilesque Comedy" endeavored to sing
number Of songs, but no one but herself
thought she was singing. She was no
doubt put on 20 nh up and she answered
that purpose. Tho Zsnouies arc clever
acrobaIs. Dan Mason and John ID. Griffin,
Dutch aud Irish comedians, created great
deal Of laughter by their witty sayings aud
ecoentric dancing. The audience were a
little slow in catching on to the
act of Harrington and Johnson,
but it pleased them highly before
the end and the comedians were
recalled several times. Miss Ophelia Starr
looked pretty in neat new dress, but she
could neither dance we'll nor sing. "The
Seven Pretty Dudes" fell very fiat. Miss
Henry again made herself quite promi
inent, while her companions acted as
though they had never been on any stage
but those drawn by horses. The best act
on the bill during the evening, was that
of Miss Anuie Hart, fayorite little serio-
comic who always makes a hit. She
has good voice, aud makes pop
ular selections which suit tho taste
of her audience. Madame Gyer's
living statuary pictures were very
fair, but were not to bo compared with
those given here by Matt Morgan few
years ago. "The Ladies' Archery Club
was the closing performance and Dan
Mason made great hit as Philip Rr0use.
The marching of the ladies' was very good
aud the fountain of real water was we'll

Misrepresentation of his constituents on

to declare to our fellow Republicans
throughout the commonwealth that his
selection as chairman of tho state central
committee after the professions OF reform

to the party and a direct insult To the
Independents, who are seeking to restore

to cherish" While repudiating Cooper's
leadership the committee expressed itself
in favor of the election of Niles 10 the
auditor generalship. Lvsey was not re-
ferred to in the resolutions, but in the
discussion he was condemned as "Chris.

The New York frustrated Times OF this
week contains very good picture Of the
Altoona club.
Arrangements are being made 10 have
the August Flower and TreutoU clubs come
here next week.
The AltOOnas will be here to morrow
and Saturday and foe games may be
looked for, rs the lronsldos always seem to
do good work with this club.
The members Of the Harrisburg club
could not understand yesterday why Rlt.
tenhouse was not put In the box and the
same question puzzles the Lancastrians.
Every pitcher has bad days aud the best
of them have TO be pounded at times,
Hofford need not be discouraged At his
work yesterday for ho pitched for a club
of heavy htters, who have won more
games than any club in tho inter state this
season.
The lopsides endeavored to arrange
a game with the Dauntess cub Of Mount
Joy to-day, but the country boys refused
to play, as they defeated good club
yesterday and did not want so many
victories in ono week. Next week how
ever they will give the lronsides a chance.
Mr.. Z0lers, the baseball editor OF tho
Harrisburg PatrsOL was in this city yester-
day and witnessed the game of ball aud in
morning, he speaks as follows "The Iron
sides were not in good condition to play
the strong team of the Harrisburg. The
score of 20 to 0, run up in the presence OF
an impartial and very respectable audience
of over four hundred aud hity persons,
amply proves this statement. The cham,

the case. The game throughout abounded
in interest. One OF the agreeable excep.
tions to the usual run of contests on tho
diamond was the excellent umpiringof
Mr.. John Il. Malone. His judgments were
prompt, and there were no exceptions
taken to any of them except on the part of
some of the audience. 1t Is refreshing to
meet man whilst out upon a rambling

CANADA seems 10 have tue same
problem to deal with that embarrasses
our government-namely that of a large
surplus revenue This is a condition of
affairs that perplexes every publicist.
No thoughtful man who deals with the
question Of finances aud taxation fails TO
assent to the proposition that there
should be no taxation in excess of the
necessities Of government economically
administered. 1t is no wonder therefore
that in dealing with the same problem
in Canada which puzzles our govern
ment the Montreal Herald, the most
thoughtful paper supporting the Reform
party, takes exactly the same position as
the Democratic party of Pennsylvania.
1t says
I'VE pointed out the other day that in
view OF the large surplus that was expected
to be realized from the present duties the
time had come when the abolition of the
whole inland revenue mi ght we'll be con-
sidered. Our inland revenue taxes yield
at most about s. 800, 900 year, and it
costs $3.50 900 TO CO lect them, so that II
they were entirely swept away there would
still be a surplus of two millions during
the present year, which is more than am
pie for tho preservation of our credit
abroad and for the making of matters easy
at home. Let the finance minister then
embrace the present opportunity of re
ducing taxation aud let him begin by
abolishing the entire inland revenue sys-
tem."

SoME Of the members of the House at
Harrisburg who have made the loudest
aud most fervent speeches in favor of
continuing the extra session, have been
conspicuous absentees when they were
most needed. We should like to hear
these gentlemen explain the inconsist-
ency OF their position. We would like
10 hear from them some defense of their
conduct in coming to Harrisburg once a
week and loudly proclaiming their belief
that the Legislature should remain In
session, aud then running off and leaving
their party associates to bear the odium
OF not having enough members there to
pass bill. Itdoes not look well. II
hint will not be understood, probably
kick would be felt.
