Chean hmnsements Must be Good.

Lancaster has shown disposition to
welcome the era of cheap amusements
with outstretched hands, and this journal
has always advocated them in the belief
that they We're destined to exercise hene-
fetal effect upon and open new pleasures to
the poorer portion of thu public that have
ordinarily little sunlight to brighten thsir
everyday lives. But cheap amusements
are not necessarily allied to cheap talent.
The larger audiences that are attracted by
lower prices should at least keep the stand
ard of the amusements presented mp to
their old-time level.
During the past week the Bennett y
Moulton comic opera company have been
giving a series of performances in the opera
house to audiences that strained its capaci-
ty. 1t is very probable that the weeks re-
ceipts of the company will be $1,000. vet
not even the most indulgent critic will pre-
tend to say that their presentations are
capable. The whole outfit of the company
is of the cheapest order, with a few eNcep-
tions; and this, despite the fact that the
receipts justify far higher order Of talent.
1 he COMPANY wis Elftlttl Will lidtht'
houses in Reading and the same will doubt
less be true of the next city visited. While
it is right that the management should
have a fair profit on their venture, it is un-
just that the public should be imposed upon
by managerial greed
There is one other consideration that
should not be omitted in discussing the
question of cheap amusements, and that is
that vitiated taste is sure to arise in
those who witliess trashy performances
under the impression that they are good.
In fine, the receipts demand better
performances, and if they are not given,
the taste of the public, eventually hecom-
ing more correct, will frown down these
amusements Of the tinsel variety.
There is just one word that we would
breathe into the ear of the Bennett "
Moulton company. They advertise their
admission at twenty cents, and charge
thirty cents for standing room. This is =
fraud on the public. They should bethink
themselves of the killing of the goose that
laid the golden eggs.

THE question whether drunkenness is
a contagious disease is very interesting
one to investigate. DIR. T. u. Crothcrs de-
clares that it is due to a microcobe which
when taken into the body creates a thirst for
alcohol and can be conveyed from one per-
son to another by contact. He goes TO the
length Of saying that the man who shakes
hands with n drunkard is liable to catch the
disease, and it is oven probable that it can be
conveyed by means of clothing. The abb
surdity of this theory is very refreshing.
The hand-shaking that leads most drank
ards to their ruin is that which results from
lifting tho glass to tho mouth.

The following explanation is offered for
the suspensions above noted. These sus-
pensions were made in the exercise of the
Presidents power of removal, and the
removals were made because the post
masters were partisans Of such a kind as
satisfied the President that they ought not

tratiOn. In addition, the Postmaster at
Leesburg has three times been found
upon investigation 20 have applied
moneys of his office to personal use, so
that his cash was twice deficient on in
speotion in 1884 and once during the pre-
sent spring, although in each instance it
was made good after the shortage was
discovered. He had also antedated re.
mittances in other cases.

BUTLER'S LEASE.
How He UniOaded "a Large Quantity of
Furniture on the G Government.

now lie Unioaded Large Quantity of
Furniture on the Government
WASHINGTON, May 21.-There is an
interesting story connected with Gen.
Buffers attempt to force the Senate to
pay him years rental for his house on
Capitol Hill at the rate of $500 per month.
The house in question has always been
an unfortunate investment for the
General. Soon after ii was built it was
leased at very large rental to Senator
Jones, of Nevada, who put some $50, 900
or $4,000 worth of furniture INTO it. Mr..
Jones soon afterwards became embar-
rassed, and wRs not able TO pay his
rent to Gen. Butler. The result was
tnat Gen. Butler took the furniture in
part payment OF the rent. Last winter
Gen. Butler induced MIR. Jones, who is
Chairman of the Committee on Contingent
Expenses of the Senate, to approve the
lease and the purchase OF large amount
OF the furniture, which was still III the
building,
COST A LARGE SUM.
1t is not known how many thousand
dollars was put into tae furniture, but it
must have been a large slice of the Senate
contingent fund The Republican Sena-
tors having heard of it they. in caucus,
directed the lease to be Cancelled, and a
resolution was accordingly passed which
led to that result. 1t is prob
able that Gen. Butler has
good case in law and will be able
to collect his Sc, 600 at the end of the year.
Gen. Butler expected that his valuable
services to the Republicans in the cam
paign last autumn would lead them to
approve little scheme like this, but it
seems that he miscalculated.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The depletion
of the funds Of the Agricultural Depart
ment affects four Of its principal bureaus.
The statistical division, the expenditure
of which averaged $4,000 per month up
to May 1, and the laboratory division,
which was expending nearly half as
much, found themselves at that date with
only enough money on hand to carry on
the work at the current rates for two
weeks more. The forestry division had
about enough money 10 last "A month, and
the seed division fund OF 100000 was en-
tirely exhausted, with the exception
of S3S. 1t Is understood that
the late Commissioner gave instruc-
tiOns that no seeds should be
purchased except upon requisitiOn Of the
head of the seed division, but these in
structiOns appear TO have been ignored by
some. The acquisitions of the head OF the
seed division called for the purchase of
$4,000 worth OF seeds. OF which only
$50, 600 were purchased, but S2G. 900 worth
Of varieties which were not called for by
the head Of the seed division were also
purchased, and part OF these remain on
hand with no money 10 pay for their dis
tributi0n, and nobody wanting them at
this season il they could be sent out.

JUDGES DISAGREE.
The Chicago Ballot BOX stufiing to Go
Before the Supreme Court.

Before the supreme Court.
CHICAGO, May 2l.-On application for a
writ OF error in the case Of Joseph c..
Mackin and William j. Gallagher, which
was argued before Judge Gresham and
Justice Harlan, these two jurists dis
agreed. The effect of this is TO send the
case to the United States Supreme Court.
Mackin and Gallagher were convicted OF
rifing Il ballot-bOX in the Third precinct
Of the Eighteenth ward at the recent
national election and substituting bogus
ballots for those cast 10y the electors.
They were released on BAH pending a de-
cision on the motion for a writ Of error.
Their prosecution was based upon the
filing ofcriminal information against them
by the United States District Attorney,
and the point was argued by their
attorney in the present instance that
the otiense partoOk of the nature of an
"intamous crime" in the meaning of the
United States statutes, and that criminal
information was not adequate, but that
the accused should have been regularly
indicted by II grand jury. On this point
Justice Harlan and Judge Gresham dis
agree, the former holding that the cOnYic-
ton of the men was adequate and COM
plete. The prosecution of the two men
has long been and expensive, aud great in-
teresL ATTENDED the result, owing TO the
prominence of Mackin in local political
affairs. If the Supreme Court should sus-
tain Judge Gresham the prosecution
would have to be renewed. In the mean
time indictments against Mackin and
Gallagher are pending in the State courts.
The States Attorney of Cook county
says that the trial Of Mackin and Gallag-
her, under indictments procured in the
Criminal Court of Cook county, is set for
next Monday, and these cases will be
prosecuted without any delay. The in
dictments embrace the same charges upon
