A First-CIass Minstrel Companv

The Skiff & Gaylord Minstrel Com
pany, which will appear at the Opera
House next Wednesday night, has been
familiar to the people for twenty years. It
has maintained its rank for long, time,
and so we'll that when the San Francisco
Ministries. of New ork, were debanded,
by the death of all their prominent men,
Skiff & Gaylord's took their place in the

and without blemish, and furnishes the
three requisites of Ethiopian minstrelsy
good music, wit, and safety from vul-

why did not the editors who are now
swapping at Brewstcr's heels have the man
illness during tho trials to condemn these
frauds and practices? They were as
glaring then as they are now, aud THE
CRITIC repeatedly during the trial called
attention TO the very facts which now
appear in an official form in Executive
Document No. 40. The information was
in the reach of any intelligent journalist.
As a matter of fact the fraudulent practices
and the robbery Of the Treasury by tho
outrageous payments made to special coun-
sci, spies, detectives, informers aud pimps
reknoicn. But there was demand for
tho cruciixion of some one, and the papers
that now speak in tones Of virtuous
indignation were willfully blind and dumb.
Then everything that Brewster and tho
Department Of Justice did was right, and
every charge made against the Depart ment
was denounced as o Star-Route lie. The
official papers, called for by Congress, set
tie that question. The lie was on the other
side, and now the then upholders and
apologists Of Brewster and his crowd Arc
eating crow and they seem to relish the
dish.
