A MORE sensational output than the col
lection of opinions about the next nominees
for the Presidency in the New York Times
yesterday was the long revelation or rela-
tion in the Sun of the secret history of the
last Presidential campaign. This is Dorsey's
promised bombshell charged with asafedita
to befoul the character of the Republican
leaders who have had anything to do with
his prosecution as swindler of the govern
ment. The relation if true is confession
OF conspiracy in infamy in comparison with
which the Star route frauds were honest
and pious performances of public duty. If
it be not true, its author is even more in
famous than if it be true. Whether true or
false nobody with honorable instiacts will
longer doubt that Dorsey was quite capable
OF the Star route swindlirg that was charged.
In reading his tale it will be well to remem-
Der the legal maxim that the story of one
who accuses others of infamy in which be
confesses participation is not to be believed
without corroborative evidence.

THE Drover's Journal, Chicago publica-
ton, does not put much faith in the schemes

fattened 1t appears to think that Chicago
is as far West as the business of slaughter
ing cattle for Eastern markets can he
protitably carried on. As we read its
long article on the subject the ques-
tlon turns not so much on the dis
posal of the edible portions of the ami
mails as on the disposal of the other parts,
the head, hoofs, horns, hides, blood, en-
trails, offal etc. In Chicago there is prof
liable market for all thess parts. In Texas
aud Montana there is none. The cost of
shipping cattle from the central part of
Texas to Chicago is close to SO head. The
offal, so-called, is worth in Chicago $3.50 a
head. AT all events the business is not
thriving on the plains as it was once ex-
pected to do, while the number and capacity
of the Chicago establishments are increasing
constantly. Those who have engaged In the

 THE PLANTERS WIFE.
 At CarlIs Opera House last evening, MT. J. K TiIlotsons drama, t"Ihe Planters Wife, D Miss Maud Granger and her company The drama abounds in effective situations and spirited dialogue, aEording ample opportuni- ties for good acting, most of which were taken advantage of by Miss Granger and her support. The company on 8 whole is an un- usually good one. It is seldom that New Haven people are given the chance of seeing 8 play well acted in all it's parts. Such, how ever, was the case last evening and the audi ence showed it's appreciation of the fact by frequent and liberal applause. Miss Changers part, which was an exceedingly difficult one, was splendidly taken, her pas sionate exclamations never approaching ran ting, and her acting as a whole was char acterized by refinement as rare as it was remarkable. Miss Granger's efforts were ably seconded by Mir. Lacy, whose portrayal of the hot blooded, impetuous southerner, Albert Graham, left little to be desired. Mir. Sum- ner as Arthur Bealle, and MT. Kennedy as marry ANnSSIon, p1ayeu bo Ine general sAtAs- faction of the audience. The Dora Graham of Miss Kate Hawthorne was charming piece of work, and the presen- tation of a basket of flowers to Miss Hawthorne, (Mrs. Harry Lacy, former ly Miss Cruttenden. of New Haven), was one of the pleasantest features of the evening.
 The charming acting of Miss Lillian De Gar mo as Angie Gordon. petite and graceful, won the hearty plaudits of the house. MT.
 Bourer as Simeon Sincoe was quite accepta- ble, and the minor parts call for no especial mention. The house was well filled, and the audience throughout were interested and at times enthusiastic. Miss Granger may be sure of full house when she next sees fit to bring her company to New Haven.
