4 CHORUS IN H1RMONY.

The utterances of the Prohibitionists, the
Democrats and the liquor-dealers are in three
tones, but it is the same voice. General Fisk,
the Prohibition candidate for President sneers
in public speech at the horse ministers
who have been calling upon voters to vote fof
Warner Miller as a moral duty. These one
horse minister's include some of the most dis
tinguished clergymen in the State. If Drs.
Storrs, Cuyler Parkhurst Robinson, AlacAr-
thur, Armitage, Lyman Abbott, Rainsford,
Duryea, Virgin, MIcCheSney. and several hun
dred others we might name, are " one-horse
minister's" the members of their congregations
who have been accustomed to look up to them
as men Of learning and ability, as well as Of
piety, will be surprised to know it. General
Fisk seems to be pitching the keynote of his
campaign according to the tuning-fork Of the
notorious Colonel John T. Fellows who sneered

"The Chicago Tribune quotes John A.
Brooks, the Prohibition candidate for Vice
President in dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,,
as saying last Thursday that his party ex-
pected I" to cast enough votes to give New
York, New-Jersey, Indiana and possibly Michi-
gan to the Democrats This is the man who
boosted early in the campaign of having been
a STAKEHOLDER and Confederate and added :
"Thank God | have never been Republican
will never have that sin to answer for" And
this is the way "The New-York Saloon Jour
nap is hurrahing for Cleveland and the whole
Democratic ticket: "There is only one safe
way for the liquor interest. They must unite
to man to work heart and soul, day and night,
for the success of the Democratic party. and
the best way for the delegate to spend his time
is to consider the best means to elect the Demo-
cratic ticket, State and National" Along with
this we want to quote suggestive paragraph
from "The Voice." which is an assistant Sa-
loon Journal" of September %, 1887:
Don't keep striking the Republican party, say some
of our good friends. We will. Before the Nation
we call upon God to sweep 1t away with the bosom OF
his destruction. Why Because 1t Is standing 10
day between the saloon and its everlasting DOOM
XIII III Yes
Yet the Republican party has put upon the
statute book every temperance law that has
ever been passed in a Northern State, and in
several States has passed Prohibition laws. Its
reward for this is to be Z" killed" by combina-
ton of the Democrats, the saloon-kecpers with
huge corruption fund.- and the Prohibitionists.
This is an unholy alliance, and every honest
man should draw out of it.

"A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM"

An English version Of shakespeares fary spcetaco'
A Midsummer Nights Dream was given at tho
Star Theatre last night in tho presence Of large
and friendly audience. From a scenic point OF view
the production equaled any former effort ever seen
in this city, and In respects, though not many
the company superior. pleasant feature
of the version was the music and several inerpoa'ed
vocal numbers. 1t also noticeable that the pfh-
cipal parts we're pretty evenly balanced, SO lar az
lines and situations went though all OF the people
interpreting them did not make the most OF their
opportunities. Edward J. Henley who was with
Lester Wallack's company year ago, made strong
and interesting Iysander, and Edmund ID. Lyons was

hibted unusual talent Hernia. In the third act

the first duty of every lover of temperance so
to vote as most effectually to aid the cause dear
to his heart. Every man knows or ought to
know that vote for the Prohibition candidate

It. has been given out that the President would
vote in Buffalo. but The Express of that city
puts an end to the rumor. In order to vote, he
would have to be registered, and an inspection OF
the registry of the city shows that his name is
not there so Cleveland =" The Express con-

who thought he would wanted to? To put
his name on the registry he must appear here IN

makes the point that Mr.. Cleveland could not vote

Horatio Seymour is oulogiAed by The Utica

supporter of David B Hill, but it ought to know

canals. Since he was elected in Ss5 not VOID

The work of the Board of Estimate is not
receiving the public notice that it commands
in ordinary years. In spite of the turmoil of
politics the Board is meeting from day to day
and agreeing on appropriations. 1t is a curious
fact that every department makes practice
of asking for more money this year than ii got
last year, and, as rule, some advance is al
lowed. Taxpayers may well query why this is
so and if they are wise they will improve the
opportunity that next week will afford to take
the Board out Of exclusive Democratic control.

What possible change in the political prospects can

in the very best position to know the inside feeling

fact that this exceptionally wcll-informcd person

At Elsie's suggestion they then give
the crowd the singing farce of the
"Merryman and His Maid" duet,
where point begins:
l have song to sing, OH
IL is sung to the moon
By a love-lorn loon
Who fled from the hooking throng, OH
~ the song of a merlyman, mopng mum,
Whose soul was sad, and whose glance was
glum,
Who spped no sup and who crayed no crumb.
As he sighed for the love of ladye.
1t is this song also that Gilbert uses TO
end as well MS to begin the real work of
the opera. As the poor jester wanders
alone in the careless and mocking throng,
the truth of the situation rejecting the
reality of life becomes almost painfully
pathetic. The fact that the loss of love
to a sensitive nature is almost equal to
the loss of life, is something that Gilbert
has taken great pains TO portray; but as
the ordinary comic opera patron fails to
realizeit, he does not become enthusiastic.
and, therefore, at the end of the opera
suffers. Undoubtedly, If Gilbert had
been either less truthful or moro artist
cally conventional, his work would have
been more successful. Has he deeper
purpose in showing up society's masks
He seems to have, and it may be good
one.

pulled the horses around at a right angle and
they started down the railroad track.
The Jarvey was stunned by his fall and n
minute after q scared-looking young man with
n blonde moustache that,had detected droop
at its ends, stuck his head out of the window.
AS he did so q big policeman ran up and
looked into the cab The young man with the
blonde moustache didn't hesitate an Instant.
He opened the opposite door and disappeared
down the railroad tracks In the darkness as II
he never intended to stop.
Then the big policeman looked into the
hack and saw mighty pretty girl crying as II
her heart would break. Her wrap fell back
from her shoulders--she was in evening dress
land she wiped her eyes on the fur that out
lined its edges. The policeman was just as
sorry for her as he could be and he didn't need
to ask her any questions.
He told her she had no need TO feel uneasy,
that tho Jarvey would drive her home all
right.
But she hadn't cent Of money with her,
and Jarveys are slow to accept promises from
any one In payment of hack hire.
The Jarvey's bill would be some two or
three dollars, and the policeman didn't have
fifty cents. The Jarvey was still unconscious,
and the big policeman, though he knew well
that he had no business to do 1t, and would be
fined or dismissed If he did, volunteered to
drive her home himself. The teary smile that
she thanked him with determined him that he
would drive her anywhere If he was dismissed
a hundred times for it.
She wouldn't tell him the number OF her
house, but said she lived near the corner of
Blank and Blank streets, and If he would take
her there she would easily slip into her house
without being noticed and would be so glad.
The policeman took OIL his shiny badge and
put It into his pocket. Then he asked the
young lady inside to hold his helmet and club
and picked up the drunken Jarvey's hat and
put 1t on.
When he got up on tho box he would pass
for Jarvey anywhere And he whipped the
old nags into fairly speedy gallop and took
the young lady home and came back and
woke up the Jarvev and sent him off with a
warning not to 20 to sleep on his box again
and rang in from his box, answering the
stationkeeper with as CHEEKY an so K'' as he
ever shouted into the telephone in the little
octagon patrol box in his life.
