In an article in recent Issue OF the Obi
oago Times the editor cfitlcises strongly me
provisions OF Tho bill OF Mn. MILLS, OF this
state, directing the secretary OF tho treas
ury 10 redeem $1oO. 100000 Of bonds with
money taken from the reserve fund. The
edit ,rial In question has attracted consid
cradle attention and comment, but Ia ctr
tainly weaker and more fsr-fstched article

columns Of the Times. Its weakness lies In
the fact that 1t 10 based upon false pre-
mise. namely, that there is special deposit
In the treasury Of tho United States as q

pose than that for which 1t Is set aside, and

In amusements just now there is rather
quiet time. John Mccullough goes today, and

stres. Mrs. Langtry is coming Monday to the
'sGlobe," and the prices are not like those of
last year by any means. Fifty cents admis-
sion, and one dollar and one dollar and half
for seats. Those who found her too dear for
their seeing last season, will go this year out of
curiosity, probably, not only to see the much
talked of woman, but the famous new dresses,
the makers of which are to be advertised on
the house bills. The scenery too is new for
this special play-"The Wife's PERIL
1t is certainly comment upon this day and
generation of things, this announcement, of
the fact that the names of the makers of an
actress dresses will be printed on the bills. 1t
is all part of the spectacular, but the point to
be criticized is not dress as an effect but as
costliness. 1t is the effect of the rest of the
spectacle that is of the first Importance. 1t is
the dazzle and cost OF the gowns that is made
so much of. 1t is an expensive thing to be en-
actress nowadays. They make money to be
sure, but the cost of a wardrobe is small for
tune.
know Of lady who gave dramatic rep
resentation few years ago in o small city to
very thin house. She exclaimed to friend of
mine the next day, "The idea OF wasting that
dress upon such house; why it was dream
of dressl" And this is the way that things
go,-the dress way, where money shows and
shines to the most inexperienced beholder.
Beautiful and appropriate costumes are need
full; but the gowns that are often worn now are
not appropriate to the story of the play, to its
epoch.
When Nillson took the part of Marguerite
here her dress was entirely inappropriate. 1t
was not beautiful, nor costly, but it was not ap-
propriate. 1t was long trailing gown OF white
wool, and with the exception of the little puff
at the elbow, dress that any lady of this day
might wear in her parlor. The train swept the
stage for yard, and was brown with dirt.so in
every way appropriateness in actresses d. sses
is.evidently going by The general Indifference
to the unities of time and place which thisin-
dictates is bad sign, and some sharp critic
ought, before long, to lay hold of the matter
and start reform. Until that hour we shall
have all kinds Of anachronisms, and be con-
stantly sacrificed for ga dream of dress.'

Carrying the Banner Into the
South.

The Congressional Republican Committee
has decided to make systematic campaign
in the South this year and there is no better
place for doing good work which will re-
dound to the advantage of the party
throughout the land. No surer step could
be taken to break up the sectionalism of pol
itics than this. The Southern people, ex-
cept few, know very little about the lead
Ing and influential members of the Kepubli-
can party, nor do they know their views ex-
eept as filtered through opposition newspa-
pers and stump speakers. The people of
the South know quite well that the men who
constitute what there is of Republican
party in that section are men of very little
influence in the councils of the party and in
many cases they have very good reason for
distrusting their wisdom and character.
There is no question but that leading North
ern Republicans could make tour of the
South speaking at the principal cities, and
be met by largo audiences of people who
would give them respectful attention. We
do not suppose that the South can be swept
BY any sudden popular movement from its
Democratic moorings, but we believe that it
is high time that the Republican party at
tempted to reinforce and encourage the Re-
publicans Of the South in some other way
than by sending money there.
The indications of dissatisfaction with
the ruling close corporation of local Demo-
cratic politicians in the South are nuner-
ouE. Is it not time to cease treating the South
as abandoned territory, and to look upon it
as territory into which it is desirable to
make incursions, a land of promise, worth
some steady and persistent effort to win?
T. ct Republicans like Edmunds and Hawley,
and Sherman and Logan and Frye and Har-
iison, 60 down there and set before the peo-
pie the real motives and aims of the nation
al Republican party, and they would reach
thousands OF people who have never in their
lives heard Republican speech by man
whom they respectedas a trusted representa-
tive and leader of the party. Such crusade
would dispel an immense amount of preiu-
dice and transformation, and if it did not
result Immediately in securing a large in
crease of Republican votes it would prepare
bAO Hog AVA A0buAO dlilduCEb anu COQQu6SL6,
It would encourage and confirm the friends
we have in that section; it would show to
others that we, at least, believe our partv ia
broad enough in its principles, and generous
enough In its hospitality, to take in the
South as well as the North, that we are not
opposed to them because they are Southern
err, but seek ends which we believe are as
advantageous 20 the South as to the North,
believe this so firmly that we do not hest
tate to 60 to them and proclaim it.
Although there is at the present time but
enc Republican member of Congress from
the whole tier Of Southern States, there are
several members who are not Democrats; aud
there are districts in which Democrats were
elected by msjorities so small that they may
be considered good fighting ground by any
opponent of the Democratic party who wish

es to contest them. Perhaps no man who
proclaimed himself Republican could car
ry them against the prejudices which now ex-
list toward the Republican party as the party
which abolished slavery and suppressed the
rebellion, and which is there popularity sup
posed to be party having its home in the
North and is opposed to the South be-
cause it is the South and to the Democratic
party because it the Southern party. This is
a sentiment that cannot be dissipated in
day, and can never be dissi-
pated until Republicans maintain and adyo-
cate their principles in the South as the wis
est policy for that section because the wisest
for the whole nation, the policy of progress,
of education, of development, of prosperity,
of national greatness.

Territorial Affairs.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times says that the nomination
Of the next SHrveyor-General of New Mexi-
- Is matter Of more importance in all its
Its Bearings than any similar event of recent
occurrence, because the appointment, when
made, will indicate whether the President
intends to adhere to the policy he announced
upon his return from the West last summer
OF appointing to territorial Offices citizens of
the territories instead of politicians from the
States, who are unknown to the people
among whom they are sent and have no
common interests with them. The Times
describes the situation as follows:
A citizen Of this remote Territory, the people Of
which are as unrepressnted at the national capital
a. If 1t were foreign ssuntry has to ask the
President TO appoint him Surveyor General Of New
Mexico on no other ground than fitness. Having
none Of that influential positive backing that may
BE- asked for by aconstituent in organized State
which sends members to Congress who vote, he has
30 rely wholly on his indorsements which certainly
are Of the best rnis applicant, Mr.. Clarence Pull
len civil engineer Of extended and favorable repu-
tation has, during the past six years, been instru-
ments in New Mexico. His last work was the build
Tag and organizing Of the sanitarium at the Las
Vegas Hst Springs, which is admitted to be a mas
terpiece Of engineering skill and administrative
ability. A consistent and active Republican, he
has kept clear of those bitter factiona fights that
characterize popular elections in New Mexico, and
bis appointment would be generally acceptable to
all classes in that Territory.
Other candidates for the position
are Samuel A. Losch Of Pennsylva-
mia, one of Don Camersn's friends,
George d. Nichols of Colorado, support
ed by all the Colorado influence opposed
10 Senator Hill, and 81. NJ. Atkinson of Ne
braska who has held the Office for eight
years, In such manner that his present
support is from Nebraska rather than Colo
fade. II is said that he is not the first
choice Of the Nebraska politicians, but they
support him rather than have their state
lose the Office. 1t is good time for the
President to begin new pelicy in these ap-
pointments, and the policy is one which
should beipersistediin. There is no good
reason why the territories, every one of
which has capable citizens who know its in
terests, should have all their officers appoint
ed from distant states from the always large
number of political or business spectators,
who would never go to the territories
and take their chances on even terms, but
who must have an Office aud salary.

Among the rumors that come from the
Capital is one that Secretary Folger and At
tsrney General Brewster are soon to retire
from the Cabinet. The reason given is that
the President wants the Pennsylvania dele
cation to the Republican convention and has
made trade with some of the leading poll
ticians of that State. by which they give
him the delegation, and he gives these two
Cabinet positions to dispose of. The story
is probably the creation Of the brain of some
highly imaginative correspondent.

The purchase of the National Telegraph
Company's lines by the Baltimore & Ohio
makes the latter company a formidable
competitor of the Western Union. Hereto
fore when telegraph companies have devel-
oped sufficient strength to make them dan
gerous to the great Western Union monopo-
ly they have been promptly consolidated
with the latter, and therefore the rumor
that the Baltimore & Ohio Company is to go
the same way as its predecessors naturally
enough gains some credence. Its officers,
however, deny that anything of the kind is
contemplated.

A recent report of Consul General Merritt
to the State Department shows that at Man
chester, England, the mule spinner receives
an average of 1896 week, and the mechan-
ic 1874, while for the same grade of work in
this country the weekly wages paid is from
SIP to SIS. That is under our protective
tariff wages are just about double what they
are in England under free trade.
