ance In Boston: "The piece was just the thing to
bring out the strong points of the Musesm Compa-
ny. There seems to be part for each of the lead
ing artists. and the cast was an admirable one.
Strong situations and scenes with ample opportuui
ties for powerful and mpassioned acting, are so
happily set off with bits of comedy that the action
is anything but depressing The piece requires act
ing of decided meri and the excellence OF the work
was marked throughout" The Transcript saws:
miss Annie Clarke played the part Of Mabel Rlr-
frew admirably, as she does everything. Mrs Vim
cent was the ideal Aunt Dorothy; Reeiaa Dace as
Lncille Renfrew, Miss Blanche Thompson as Mary
Standish, and Miss Miriam o Leary as Raitch, all
entered into the spirit of the play and acquitted
themselves with credit in their several parts. The
Captain Standish of be evening was OF course Mr.
Barron, and the two humorous parts Of Sammy
olympic and Thorsby Gill were taken, respectively,
by George W. Wilson and George r. Parks" The

A CHARITABLE ACT.

That was a graceful and touching act OF
Mr.. Marcus DAILY in presenting to the widow
Of the late Dennis Nevin, one of the miners
killed on Wednesday, the house in which
she lives. The presentation was made on
Friday and. came about in this wise: Mr..
Yeyin was wellknpTnto NJ. DAILY. When he
he applied to Mr.. DAILY for assistance and
received it-about all the property had
cost. When death so suddenly DER took
the poor fellow he had had time to make
but few it any payments upon the
loan. On Friday Mr.. DAILY visited the
widow to condole with her Upon her great
bereavement and before he departed he left
with the afflicted lady a most substantial
token of his sympathies-the lien which he
held upon her home. It was a character
istic act and one that rebounds greatly to
the credit and the goodness of heart OF Mr..
DAILY, whose generosity has often been tried
and never been found wanting in this
camp.

MISS Rose ELIZABETH CLEVELAND WI

Miss ROSE ELIZABETH CLEVELAND wa. in
vited to spend October in New York as a
guest OF Mrs. William c. Whitney, wife OF
the Secretary Of the Navy. The intention
was to give several dinners and receptions
in the Whitney house, which is one OF the
finest in Fifth avenue, and thus make a
social lioness OF the President 7 sister. En-
tertainments by the Astors and Vanderbilts
were in contemplation, too, and altogether
Miss Cleveland could figure CENTRAL; Il L.,
wealthiest and proudest society. She has
put the temptation from her, however. by
writing to Mrs. Whitney declining Che invi-
tation. She may spend a few days there
on her way from Central New York, where
she is now, to Washington, to resume her
duties as mistress OF the White House, but
she will do it quietly. The sister seems to
have almost as much sense as her big
brother who holds the reins OF Government.

The determination of the Iowa ProhDss
tionists, a V the St. Paul Globe, to put .
ticket in the field has put the Republican,
of that State in a %fluster. When the re
publicans declared against the license sys
tenn they thought they had the Prohlm
tionists by the ear and could lead then
right along. But it is evident that tn
Prohibitionists have no confidence III Tn
promises of the Iowa Republicans. The
discover tina in Iowa, as in other States
Prohibition promises are held to the Ed
and broken to the hope, and consequentl
the member Of the National Prohlbltlo
Committee has issued a call for a Stat
Convention to nominate a State ticke,
! This movement is denominated by tn
Republican press as a
side-show. 1t is admitted by tie
leading Republican papers that a stralg'-
| out Prohibition ticket will result IN e
! loss of several thousand votes to the !
! publican State ticket. While the Den
Gratis will undoubtedly gain by it, theirs
no reason for charging the Prohibltl
movement to the Democrats. The Der
cratic position is clear md well defineh
the liquor question. There is no sorf
sympathy between the Democrats and e
Prohibitionists on this question, and a.
sequently could be no sort OF an alliae.
The Prohibitionists have their primers
and have a right to assert them. Thee
/ r ublicans are only chagrined becausae
Prohibitionists will no longer agree toe
cat's-paw to pull Republican chests
from the fire.

JUDGE HoADLY has taken up the gage
tured every argument. He goes to the gist
of the matter. ''There are no such facts"
This is the reply to the wild statements of
John Sherman as to alleged ballot-box
frauds at the South, and the reply will ap
peal at once to the approval OF all fair
minded Northern men VINO nave had a per-
sonal acquaintance with the politics of the
South during the past nine years. The
last and greatest ballot-box fraud in the
South was that committed in a back room
Of the custom house at New Orleans, and
to which John Sherman was a party. He
himself was one OF the guilty conspirators
who aided by ballot burglary and forged
returns to steal the Presidency. Judge
Hoadly's answer to Sherman is complete
and convincing. There is no vitality in
any sectional issue which seeks once more
to array brother against brother; and he
who attempts to carry on a crusade OF
hatred is a public enemy. In this connec-
ton ex-Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, who GER
tainly will not be accused of desiring to
say anything good OF the Democrats ofthat
State, admits that in Georgia no man is
hindered from voting as he pleases, and
that the ballots are fairly counted. The
senseless cry OF outrages upon the right Of
suffrage in the South is not sustained by
authenticated facts, just as Governor
Hoadly says At one time there was a
chance for the Republican party to build
itself in the South by the aid of negro
votes. But the white leaders of the Repub-
lican party in that section as sorry a set OF
peculating rascals as ever existed. deceived
their colored allies at every turn. The
colored people found them out and num-
bers left the ranks OF a party which was
only using them as tools. There are large
numbers OF colored people who now vote
the Democratic ticket.

CONGRESSMAN MERRIMAN.

NOVEL methods for bringing men to pub
lie notice often lead to valuable results. A
friend of ours writing from New York DEM
onstrates this with the case OF Colonel Mer-
riman, member of Congress-elect. Colonel
Truman E. Merriman will be in Congress
next winter to represent one OF the largest
and most important of the New York City
districts. A year ago he was a newspaper
reporter, known among his fellow journal
! lists as an accomplished man, OF wide exp
rience and u~nassailable morals. Except In
| the writing of city political news, he had no
\ connection with politics, O did he possess
| any of the influence which is usually deemed
! essential to political preferment. More
over, he wal a notably quiet, modest man,
with the politeness of a Chesterfield. He
remarked one day to the editor over him
that he would rather like to be sent to
Washington as the correspondent OF the
paper. The reply was not acauiescent.
"Well, then," said the Colonel, in a casual
tone, II think l will go as a Congressman"
The remark was regarded as a joke. But
within five days Merriman was out as q
stump candidate. The politicians looked
on his exploit as nonsense. The incum'
bent of the office, Hardy, took a regular
denomination, and the other party put
forward their man.. No organization was
behind Merriman, and his plan did no
contemplate the expenditure OF none.

. for legitimate purposes. Blu his campaig'
was the l~iveliest, right from the outset
that the district had ever known. All tn
newspaper friends OF the Colonel who coul'
