As to Admission.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, February 25.-The
Democrat tomorrow will say editorially:
After q careful canvass of all classes of peo-
pie. it is safe to say that if the question
were submitted to vote, it would be de-
feated by at least a two-thirds majority.
The only classes favoring admission are
professional men and politicians. while the
Democrats almost unanimously oppose the
movement, as also a large proportion OF
the rank and file of the Republican party.

OVERZEALOUS.
The Mayor Of Denver Glasses Sacred Con-
certs with Variety Shows.


DENVER, COL, February 27.-No little
surprise was created here last night by the
arrest OF Senator Tabor. proprietor of
Tabor Grand Opera House, and w. T.
Carleton, OF the Carleton Opera Company,
by order OF Mayor Lee, charged with hav-
ing violated the city ordinance by giving a
sacred concert at the opera house last
night. The city ordinance prohibits the
giving OF performances OF any kind on Sun
day night in which any acting is done, but
makes no mention OF concerts OF sacred
music. When Carleton advertised,
Lee notified him not to give it.
No attention was paid to the notice
hence the arrest. The Carleton Company
left for Hastings last night. Senator Tabor
went on bis bond for his appearance. Mr..
Tabor to-day said he would make test
case of the matter. even if he had to carry
it to the highest court in the land. Public
sentiment is with the mayor in his endeav-
ors to close all variety theatres on Sunday
night, but considerable indignation is ex
pressed and the general opinion is against
him in his course toward the Tabor Grand
and the character OF the performance given
there last night.

rora, was acting as engineer, ran short of
steam about 8 p. m. The engine was cut
loose from the train to run ahead,

couple on to the train, became
to certain extent unmanageable on the
DOWN grade, and collided with the cars.
The acting engineer, Foreman Geyre, had
his nose cut, and the temporary fireman,
named Parsons, was cut on the shoulder
and leg. George Clark, the mail clerk, had
lis face cut and ba,k injured; VIM. STEM
son, mail clerk, knee bruised; 7. Foster,
5rainman, of Aurora, arm and knee

It is we'll known that the owners OF the

boring from the opposite direction into

been sinking shaft from the terminus OF
the tunnel to reach the Pennsylvania

The Retaliation Bill.
N. o. Times-D Democrat, Sep. 9th.

N. o. Times Democrat, Sep. 9th.
The House yesterday, by an
almost unanimous vote, passed
the retaliation bill giving the
President the authority to deal
with Canada he asked tor. MI.
Blaine and quite q number of
the Republican papers have
been denounciug the Presidents
message on this subject but how
thoroughly he ''cornered" them,
how right he was in his position
is shown by the fact that the
Republican Congressman were
compelled to support him much
against their will, aud only four
of them had the courage to vote
against the bill. This leaves
little doubt that the Senate will
do the same, and the fisheries
question, which the Republicans
expected to use as an issue in
the campaign, WE'LL 1t is used
at all, benefit the Democracy.
The Presidents able message
fhas routed the Republicans, and
they are now forced to applaud
his policy and to vote for the
bill.
Notwithstanding the buster
of some of the British papers
there need. be no fear of any
trouble arising with Great Bri-
tain in consequence of retalia-
ton OH Canada. The Dominion
has shown American interests no
consideration whatever, and
should be called to account. The
lesson that this country will
give it by means of the retalia-
ton policy proposed by the Pre-
sident will very soon bring it to
its senses again.
