tions that there may be SOME foundation
for IT,
Tho latest evidence OF this is the letter
which Mr., Cleveland has written on the
subject of silver coinage. Comparing that
lottcr with the decisive vote in tho House
the other day, when that Democratic body
oven refused to Give discretionary power to
the President TO suspend tho coinage of
silver for one year, the difference between
the present branch Of tho lower house and
tho coming executive is almost as distinct
as between tho North and South poles.
Mr.. Cleveland thinks IL our duty to con-
tinuo in use tho mass Of our gold coin rs
well as tho mass of silver already coined.
He does not think that this can be accom-
plished by annually grinding out silver
dollars to remain in tho vaults. Tho con-
tinuation Of such a course would, he thinks.
cause the hoarding Of the gold dollar, which
is actually worth fifteen cents more than
the silver dollar, aud the substitution for
both Of silver certificates.
he thinks that IL Is possible to maintain
both gold and tho present amount of silver
by the suspension Of the coinage Of the
latter. Ho Is of the opinion that it is Of
the most momentous importance TO pro-
vent the two metals from parting COM
pany, the increasing displacement of gold
by silver, the disuse Of gold in the custom
houses and the ultimate expulsion of gold
by silver. The occurrence Of such events
as those mentioned would certainly, in
Mr.. Clevelaud's opinion, produce fnan-
cial crisis, which would involve the whole
Union.
I'm every workshop" says Mr.. Cleve-
land, I'm every mill, factory, store, and on
every railroad and farm the wages of labor,
already depressed, would suffer still further
depression by scaling down Of the pur-
chasing power of every so-called dollar
paid into tho hand of toll From these inn
pending cslamities it is surely most pa
triotic and grateful duty of the repre-
sentatives of the people to deliver themn

Among the younger artists Of Washing.

Among the younger artists of Washing
ton who have scored successes as portrait
painters within the past two years is Mr..
j., p. Spinner whose studio is located Mt
036 i street. This gentleman came TO
Washington few years ago and began a
career as crayon artist. He was an en-
tire stranger in the city ana had neither
friends nor influence. Like Others in his
profession he had hard row TO hoe" dur.
ing the first of his life here, but after
awhile the merit of his work forced him
upon the attention of those who desired
counterfeit presentments' of themselves
and before long Spnner's portraits adorned
tho walls OF many a private gallery in tho
west end. Only short time ago Boston
society lady, attracted 20 his studio by q
portrait ofa friend which she had seen on
Connecticut avenue, left an order for nor
traits of herself husband aud children,
which were executed in oil by our young
artist go faithfully that other friends of the
Boston lady here have since given him sit
tings. Perhaps the most remarkable work
executed by Mr., Spinner is tho portraits in
black and white which he has recently
painted. These most difcult colors are
so thoroughly understood by him that tho
effects of light aud shade secured through
the medium of his adept brush arc simply
wonderful. In his studio to-day Is an
ideal head offs female in the costume of a
religious order, which for beauty of oxpres-

No DISASTER from fire that has occurred
in Washington of late years has caused
such a universal feeling of sorrow and
sympathy with the principal. losers as the
conhagration which resulted in the destruc-
tion OF the National Theatre. A theatre
well managed and conducted, guarded from
the demoralizing and the Objectionable, and
insuring support and popularity by the pre-
sentation of the best productions of dra.
matists Of the past and present, secures and
retains firm hold upon the popular affec-
tion and high rank among the public in
stitutions.
The National Theatre has fulfilled these
requirements For many years 1t has been
place of amusement that deserved and
secured the liberal support and full conf
dence Of the people. Its tendency was to
elevate the tone of amusements of the Cap
ital, its stage presented what is best and
purest in the dramatic world, its audi
ences comprised our best citizens. Under
the new management, that of Messrs. Rap
ley 4 Kinsley, all the commendable fea-
lures of past regimes have been continued
and improved and the present season has
been in many ways an improvement upon
those preceding it. With every week the
energy, ability and wisdom Of the man
ayers has wrought important Improvement
and advancement,
Although the National Theatre is now
pile of ashes, Messrs. Rapley Il Kinsley
have not lost the fruits of their labors
Such eflorts,'so sustained by a grateful com
munity, cannot be without good results.
They have lost theatre imperfect
INTELLECTUALLY and inadequate for the ex-
ercise of their enterprise and the harvesting
Of their reward.
They have gained the affection, the sym
pathy and the support of the people, which
assures an ample increase of success for
their future efforts.
The defects and deficiencies of the Ma
tional Theatre have been destroyed forever;
the good features must rise phmnix-like in
the new structure. All that hampered
Messrs. Rapley & Kinsley In the old house
has been done away with, all that gained
success and appreciation will rise again and
rise speedily in the new National.
Everybody sympathize5 with these
gentlemen in their losses everybody
promises them support in their new under
taking.

SECRETARY LINCOLN does not think
that tho Signal Service should be part of
the Army, and that the expense of its main
tenance should not be charged upon the
War Department. He took this view in a
communication TO Congress during the last
Congress. He now reiterates In letter to
tho Senate in regard to tho bill to establish
the office Of assistant chief signal officer.
Mr. Lincoln is not in favor of that bill. He
says that the public service does not do
mand such an office.
III it is to be established ho thinks that
it should be civil and not military of
fee AS civil office it would be step in
the direction ofdivorcing the Signal Blu
reau entirely from tho War Department.
The Signal Service, Secretary Lincoln's
letter says, should be purely civil, and
whatever there is Of military or perma-
ncnt tenure in it should be eliminated as
soon as possible. The Secretary's views
doubtlessly coincide with those Of all who
have paid any attention to the workings
of the Signal Bureau under existing laws.
The Evening critic., 1885-02-28

By the vote in the House Of Commons
last night there was an evidence of the
common sense which the English people
are traditionally supposed to possess. After
all of the talk about the fall of tho Glad
stone government, aud the sensational an
nouncements which we have had of combi-
nations that would insure the passage of a
vote of censure, tbatvote failed with ma
jorlty Of fourteen against it. It would have
been folly for England to have changed her
government just now-as foolish as TO swap
horses while crossing a stream.
The vote by which Mr.. Gladstone is sus-
tanned is, like Mercutios wound, not as
deep as well nor as large as a barn'door,
Int it will do. The House of Lords, it is
true, adopted the Marquis of Salisbury's
motion censuring the government for its
Egyptian policy, but everybody knows that
the House of Lords does not in the least re-
fleet the views of the English people.

How JaItlio p"oSpered.

SIN a small village" says DR.. Ham,
mond III the Christian Herold, ''there
lived little Scotch hoy named Jamie.
His mother loved him and he loved his
mother. The little boy wanted to be
sailor. His mother did not like the idea
of losing her little Jamie, but he had
read so much about sailing and about
foreign lands he said: sOh, mother / do
want to be sailorr And his mother at
last said: Jamie, YOU shall go She
gave him her blessing, and added:
Jamie, wherever you are, whether at
sea or on land, never forget to acknowl-
edge your God, and give ME promise
that you will kneel down every night on
shipboard and say your prayers and trust
in God Little Jamie looked up to his
mother, the tears trlckling down his
cheeks, and said; Mother, promise
YOU | will. The boy went on board a
ship for India. The first night, when the
sailors had gone to their berths, seeing
little Jamie kneel down to say his pray
ers. a sailor went up to him, and, giving
him box on the ear, said: None of
that here, sir, Now, among the crew
there was another sailor, 2 swearing
man, who said to the man that had
struck the boy: Come on deck and /
will give you thrashing, and they went
on deck, Now, am not approving of
the fight but these men did fight, and
the swearing sailor beat the one who had
boxed the little fellow, Then they came
back again into the cabin, and the swear
ing man said Now, Jamie, say your
prayers, and if he dares to touch YOU |
will dress him.' Well, the next night
Jamie said to himself: 4 don't like to
make any disturbance on board ship: |
will say my prayers in my berth; won't
kneei down before the sailors; / will get
into my hammock and say my prayers
TO myself, Mark the effect OF this on
the swearing sailor. The moment he
saw little Jamie get into the hammock
without saving his prayers he went up and
took him hy the neck and dragged him
ont of the hammock and said: 'Kneel
down at once, sir. Do YOU think | am
going to fight for you, and You not say
Your prayers, you young rascala' Dur
ing the whole voyage back to London.
Jamie bad in that reckless, thpughtless
sailor man who looked after him ike
father, and every night saw that he knelt
down and said his prayers Now let me
tell you part Of little Janiio's history.
Some years ago the largest steamboat
ever seen was built-the Great Eastern.
Who do you think was the captain of
that great ship? They wanted the elev-
crest captain they could find in England,
and they selected little Jamie. When
I ha orreat shin nay>,a hack after fulfilIinp
her mission, the captain knelt before
Queen Victoria, who said: Rise, Sir
james Anderson;' and Sir James Ander-
son was none other than the little boy |
have told you OF.

1.-THE Mighty Dollar"

The Mighty Dollar is probably the
most successful play, financially speak
ing, in which the Florences have ap-
peared. 1t came to be written in the
following manner: Mrs. Florence while
abroad, was constantly amused at the
French phrases which good natured and
oftentimes wealthy but uneducated
American women made use of with
such an amount of misapplication and
mispronunciation as to create the high
est amusement at their expense. She
thought that it would be q first rate idea
to transfer one of these persons from the
stage of life to the mimic stage. She
spoke to her husband about it and he
agreed with her views. He also had
had a character in his mind for a long
time-that of good humored but not
overscrupulous lawmaker of the great
west. They went to Ben Woolf, a clever
journalist, and had him write play to
order with these two characters as the
prominent features. Woolf did as di-
reeted, and the Mighty Dollar was
the result. At first it was named the
Almighty Dollar but the American
public which can tamely submit to In
gersolls blasphemies, could not submit
to the use of the word Almighty"
though Washington Irving, one of the
chastest of American writers, had given
this very name TO the dollar. Thus it
was the play was changed from the "Al-
mighty" TO the mighty Dollar" In
the characters CT Bardwell Slote and
Mrs. Gen. Giltlory, Florence and Mrs.
Florence have appeared over $500 times.
