1t cannot be denied that the theatrical
season of'S6-S7 has opened very auspi
ciously for the managers, at least, and
that our stage is again the victim of in
tense Anglo-mania us is evidenced by the
sensational debut of the Violet Cameron
Company in New York, and several
other English troupes quite as inferior.
However, the American stage is abund-
antly qualified to amuse American peo-
pie without the introduction of London
scandal with its demoralizing influence,
and it will be comforting relief when
Englishmen learn this.
In Philadelphia the boards are unusu-
ally full and tempting for this part of the
season, and its Unsuitable desire for comic
opera must surely be gratiiied for few
weeks for the Chestnut Street Theatre
is to be the temporary home of opera
Jou6e for some time. The great New
Casino success, "Erminie," produced an
ovation something akin to that made by
"Mikado." While "Erminie" is not
really confined to the category of bur
lesque, it does not require serious consid-
GRAFTON in the ranks of opera boq6e. The
plot is rather conventional and the music
quite clever, you know" but the attrac-
ton is ostensibly in the galaxy of names
on the program, which include the fa-
vorite and inimitable Francis Wilson,
the plump and piquant Marie Jansen,
Mark Smith, Pauline Hall, and others of
McCaull's old favorites. "Erminie" will
undoubtedly be the success of the sea
son. LoBBY LoUNGER.

THE destruction of property at
Salisbury, Md, will certainly cause
reflection on the part of citizens
living in other towns, as TO the safe
ty of theirsproperty should fire
break out. Like Newark, many
other places of similar size are with
out visible means of protection in
such emergencies. Instead of hold
ing onto the electric light project
longer, would it not be well to dis
cuss a "water supply for the town ?
A fire engine without water sup
ply would be but an useless toy.
VIII not some of our foremost citi-
zens think seriously of this matter,
and call IA meeting to promulgate
plans and discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of
supplying the town with water. One
week ago Salisbury was a thriving
town to-day the best and most val
liable portion is in ruins. So negli-
gent were her citizens that they al
lowed the fire engine to get out OF
order, and when they brought it out
for use it could not be worked, I'M
til overhauled by Wilmington fire
men, when it did excellent service.
Our neglect is still more apparent.
We have neither engine or water,
Simply, we are without means to
battle with the flames.

GENUINE, Simon-pure temperance
men are scarce; there are many self

have looked on them above the or

hold the reins of State government ?
This places them on the same footing
as other political parties, we think,
and changes the august water drink

the Republicans and Democrats had

men as are now making good Re
