The Age in commenting on the railroad build
ing of the year 1884, says: Considering the gen.
eral condition of the country, the new mileage
added in the last year was enough; and yet. with
the exception of few parallel and unnecessary
lines, it cannot be said that railway building has
been overdone In general the roads built were
needed for the development of the regions which
they enter and there is room for vast amount
more OF new construction of this character. The
States and Territories showing the greatest ad-
diton to their mileage are Iowa and Minnesota,
each 279 miles, Dakota 269. Pennsylvania 252,
Mississippi 246 Wisconsin 224. and Oregon 2l8
In the others the increase runs from 4 to l60
miles The number Of lines reported is 1856,

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND oPERAHoUsE-"A PARLoR MATCH"
One of the most amusing performances that
has been given here this season is that of "A
Parlor Match" by the Evans & Hoey Company,
which opened an engagement at the Grand yes
terday afternoon to an overlooking house, and
the attendance last night was again very large.
The play is by Charles H. Hoyt, and displays
much of the originality and brightness which
have made Bunch of Keys" and Rag Baby
among the greatest of popular success. It has
evidently been written to suit the peculiar talents
of the two gentlemen who give name to the
company-beinS in fact the farce they pro-
duced last season ampifed into three act
comedy However, it is very funny and excel
lently presented by q company of ladies and gen
temen, who look, act and sing well. The
"gags,o business and situations are mostly new,
although there are few that have been on the
property list of variety theaters for many years.
Mr.. Evans is an agreeable light commedian, who
has the good taste not to overdo his part for the
sake of creating a laugh. Mr.. Hoey's "Old
Hoss" in other words, tramp, is the hit of the
show, for he is a very original comedian, and
Miss Jennie Yeomans one Of the cleverest
soubrettes on the stage. fairly good singer and
and excellent dancer makes much out Of the
part of Innocent Kid, the Captains Angel
Child" being particularly good in the first act.
Mrs. Matte Ferguson, a former resident, was
given very flattering reception by her friends
in front, both afternoon and evening. Hers is
an ingenue part, and she plays it
strikingly well. She has improved in her
acting very much, and she sings sweetly
and with excellent taste. The other parts were
in the hands of people who We're competent
to care for them. feature of the performance
was the songs, dances and choruses. "A Par
lor Match" w4ll continue as the attraction dur
ing the remainder Of the week. 1t will well re-
ply attendance.

written for Mr. Curtis, and it suits him admi-
rablv. AS dramatic composition it falls some
what short of absolute greatness but it is full
of laughable situations and bright sayings, and
serves the purposes for which it was intended
excellently. In the part of Samuel Plastrck,
the commercial traveller, Mr. Curtis caused
much merriment, while the support was very
satisfactory, particularly that of Albina De
Mer Mrs. Curtis), in strongly defined char

PART /. In every commune where
the people have been victorious, revo-
lutionary committees will assemble.
These will execute the orders issued
by the revolutionary army, which will
strengthen itself by arming all the
workingmen and make use OF it's power
as the conqueror of new world.
The present system will be the more
readily and easily vanquished if those
in authority. be they kings, kaisers, or
presidents, be at once destroyed. In
the meantime, massacres of the enc
mics of the people should be organ
lied.
Instructions must be excited in the
districts round and about the revoIted
communes.
The revolutionary war can only
come to an end when the foe has been
pursued to his last abiding place and
destroyed.
In order to solve the economic ques-
tion more quickly and completely, all
lands and moveables shall be declared
the property of the respective COM
munes. Every pending debt shall be
extinguished. Articles for personal
use in pawn shall be returned to their
owners free of expense. Rents shall
not be paid, since all men have the
right to protect their health by seek
ing shelter. Committees on quarters,
which will hold permanent sittings in
the various districts, will issue billets
to those who have no homes, or whose
accommodation are inadequate, which
will secure them comfortable homes.
After the rich have been swept away,
this will be an easy matter.
