wanted the Play Changed.

Some theatrical managers get weary Of
the incessaut draft upon the exchequer for
trldes, very frequently the most necessary
requirements Of play. The property man
knows what the plot calls for, he asks the
manager to borrow or buy tho necessaries
\ manager recently was asked for money TO
buy cartridges, some play like "DeadWood
Dick" being on the boards, and shooting the
villain being the main point Of interest in
the drama, were absolutely needed. The
manager gave up dollar without a word,
but when the next day the property man
came again and asked for more cartridges he
kicked
"Why, said he, Il gave you a dollar for
those things Yesterday
Il know you did, but they were all used
mp, " replied the property man.
"Wel, won't stand that kind OF racket
You can 90 back and have the plot changed
and have the villain killed with club. -

THE MONKEY SHOW.

When a political party becomes the
property of one man, and that man such
q man as William Malone, OF course, as
the days Of slavery have passed, the only
slaves he can have are those who want
master. Tie Republican party in Viz
ginia never had anything to it but The
foolishness of the Democracy, and now
that the Democracy has the power, and
has TO great extent recovered its senses,
the Republicans are left wrangling over
spoils that they no longer have.
The order from the Government when
Arthur was President, gave the idea TO
demoralized Virginians that offices and
plumber would be the deputy political
pirates reward, but failing of national
victory and being lef, in local issues the
Virginia Republicans are at a loss wha'
TO do. Boss Malone has 100 900 votes

take heed to, and that is that this is a
National canvass. and the boilers and the
other Republicans will all vote for the

Of Colombia has issued decree for the

which leaves precious little liberty and
establishes a censorship quite as rigid as
exists under any monarchial Government
OF Europe, with the exception OF Russia.
Among matters prohibited are attacks
upon the constituted authorities, upon
the Catholic religion, upon the military,
or upon the inviolabity Of judgments of
magistrates and public functionaries, re-
fusal to recognize the dignity and pre-
negatives Of whatever authority, civil or
ecclesiastic, combating the legitimate or

publication without competent authority
official acts or impugning the legal money

Nutrition in Beef Bones.

In experimenting to find how much nutri-
tive material is extracted from bones In
making soup, as it is ordinarily prepared in
the household, DR.. Kong found that beef
bones, from which the flesh had been re-
moved, yielded from 6 to ~ per cent. OF
their weight OF material, Of which about 4}5
per cent was fat and the rest heterogeneous
matter. That is to say, from pound OF bone
about an ounce of nutritiye material was
obtained, OF which three-fourths was fat and
the rest gelatnoids and the like. But it must
be remembered that the bones which the
butcher trims out OF meat, or which are lell
on our tables or in our kitchens, usually have
q good deal of adherlng flesh. This Is apt tc
amount to several times as much as the
material extracted from tho bone itself. -

THE ALTERNATIVE.

The quarrel in the Republican party In
Virginia might mean ruin TO them II II
was merely State contest, but 1t means
nothing in presidential year, because all
the Republicans, kickeIs and all, must OF
course vote for the nominee for Presi-
dent. Malone may order his cohorts to
obey his own personal command, and
Rddleberger and Wise may refuse, but
all the same the party will parade when
Republican nominee is to be voted for.
The thing does not involve Mr.. Malone
because he Is not candidate and has no
candidate Ii is merely matter OF per
sonal control, and when the National
Committee speaks the Virginia Republi.
cans must obey or else they are naught.
General Malone has at least 10000
votes in his pocket, and Colonel Groner
and Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Riddleberger have
absolutely no political existence without
that part of the Republican vote

person to enter a combination for the
purpose of raising prices or restricting
production. But this bill will die on the

investigating committees are often
thwarted by the curious procrastination
of their members. The Canadian com.
mittee discovered that the supply of
sugar in the Dominion was controlled by
q ring which included wholesale dealers
as well as the refiners. Combinations
affecting other products were also re-
vealed, but the evolution of monopoly

Senator Sherman wants an approprla'
ton for monument to Clarke, but he
cannot get the Clarke exactly right.
The Virginia Clarke captured all the
Northwestern territory, and he ought to
have had statue instead OF the statue OF
Lewis. But history is great prevarlca-
for and II has been asserted that New
York and New England captured the
Northwestern territory. We would like
to see the papers that can show anything
else than Clarke's conquest Of the North
western territory.
The Virginia rangers under Clarke are
entitled to the credit of conquering that
territory, and no manufactured history
can rob the Virginians of it.

The tariff debate in the House Is use
less except that it causes the members to
get letters from their constituents. Mean
while, it IS evident that the Republican
leaders in the Senate are getting nervous
over the way things are going in the
House. They have already provided for
an examination of the tariff question by
a subcommittee of the Finance Commit
tee, with the ayowed purpose of prepar-
ing themselves to act on bill from the
House. They assume that bill will be
sent to them, and probably the Mills bill
in some shape. If they thought that the
Republicans in the House would prepare
and could carry substitute for the Mills
bill, they would hardly get ready to pro-
pose one Of their own.

Germany consequent upon the death of
the late Emperor have hrOugh, the En-

and Empress are English in their tastes,
