JANAUsCHEK has changed from tragedy
to melodrsma, for the reason that the
modern theatre goer has shown an unmis-
taxable preference for the latter. She
declares that not more than half dozeu
out OF the 800 combinations travelling in
the country play the legitimate drama aud
that Shakespeare's plays no longer hold
the public. While she suggests the change,
she feels that it is bstter to entertain the
public a. its own expense, than to educate
it out of her own pocket.
BLOOD sometimes fails to tell against
bone. Plsbeian Cromwell knocked out
royal Charles tha First without difficulty.
A like iule seems to apply to horses.
Though the blooded variety is always
deemed the cream of horse flesh, occasion.
ally the theory is knocked into a cooked
hat. The great Cesare witch stakes in
England have boen carried off by St.
Gatien, one Of whose putative sires was a
common every day cab horse All OF
which goes to prove that blood is not
every thing.
ONE of the most astonishing pieces of
effrontery and impuienoe is the way
the Republican party undertakes to bull
dozs the laboring men TO vote their ticket
A case in point is the Cibsen orc bank
near Carmargo, this county, where the EN-
ployes were given to understand that il
Blaine was not elected, the mines would
positively be closed. But last Saturday
tho mine closed under a Republican ad
minissration, for the reason tha; it does
not pay to mine ore, nor do the owners
care whether the laborer makes a living or
not, and have only been paying 9O-cents o
day for men who have been working up 10
their knees in mud. Is it not about time
for the laboring men to 40 how false their
promises are? Did no. Christ Kaufman
tell them four years ago, thai if Hancock
was elsoted, "the owls would roost In the
furnace stacks?" which they are doing
and yet We have q Rspab!icAn president.
And where they are making iron it is at the
expense of labor. In Lshigh county miners
arc being paid 65 cents and in this county,
in tho very few banks running % cents.
Yet the Republican orators tell US they are
the laboring mans friend.
The authorities of Cornell university at
Utica, N. Y, have determined to suppress
cane rushes at that institution. For the
benefit of tho uninitiated 1t may be stated
'hat these are contests for the possession
OF canes between the members OF the
sophomore and freshmen Glasses with q
view to determine whether the freshmen
may carry these luxuries. II the latter
are defeated they are debarrsd from en-
joying the privilege during their college
year. Naturally enough when 1t Is con
sidered what momentous weight hangs to
the decision, the rushes are fierce aud
prolonged. The college authorities fear
permanent injuries to the students rs the
result Of these contests and they are de-
termined to suppress them. The esprit du
corps Of the college man who believes In
the maintenance of the dignity Of his class
at all hazards Is not clearly understood by
outsideru. Impelled by this motive
physically weak young men may engage
in these rushes with lasting injury to
themselves. Yet there seems to be nc
middle course for the faculty TO adopt,
They cannot eliminate tho brutality from
the rushes in any other way than by their
total suppression.
