The uikado at tho Grand
Last Night.
Tho Carlton Opera Company drew
. full house last night at the Grand
Opera House to hear the Mikado,
whose airs seem to have fine hold
on the popular ear. Mr.. Carleton
took the title role in which although
there is little opportunity to hear him
sing, yet it is pleasant to see him, for
the reason that in this cast he does
almost the best bit of acting he dis
PLAYS in the whole range of the COM
pan'y repertoire. He develops a
vein a genuine comedy in the scene
where the execution is described.
Miss Rice as "Yum Yum" is very
charming, despite the fact that she
cannot sing. In her acting she car
ries everything with her. In the
Moon Song she was particularly artis-
tic from histrionic standpoint. Drew
called forth all the mirth there is pos
sible to get out of the part of "Ko ko,"
and that is not little. Mr.. Murray,
cast to "Poo Ball." displayed the
rich sweetness of his fine voice.
He will have a better opportu-
nifty tomorrow might in Dorothy.
For tonight Fra Diavolo is underscor-
with the attractive addition "the
first time here Auber wrote the title
role Of this opera for voice precisely
like that of Mr.. Carleton. AS now
sung the score is usually transposed
to suit tenor voice, but Mr.. Carleton
tonight will sing the part according
to the original score. This is musi-
cal treat one does not have twice in a
life time, as baritone voices of go wide
a range as Mr.. Cartoons are not often

Concerning Tariff Cartoons.


One Of our esteemed metropolitan
contemporaries, thick and thin Re-
publican organ, has gone into the
Cartoon business, with the evident
intention Of fighting ont the tariff
battle on that line all summer. Neither
in imaginative conception nor in ar
tistic execution, do these show any
merit to suggest comparison with
Nast's work in this line. They are
too nasty. The latest attempt is on
steel rails. The poi aimed at Is
that those Of English make cost $25
per ton alongside ship in Liverpool,
that freight, insurance, etc., to New
York, amount to IS, that the Ameri-
can duty is $l7--total cost duty paid
in New York AZ. The per contra Of the
bill is, market price Of rails in the
United States $28-difference paid by
English exporters $14.
Where is tho fallacy? If we
can make rails for 428 per ton,
and they cost $25 in England,
then the duty should be reduced to $3
per ton-at the most, IS would give
our manufacturers fair margin of
profit. But our esteemed contempor.
ary is purely imaginative in the fig
ures he assumes for his purposes.
The Railwoy Age is pretty good au-
thority on the price of rails. Here is
what that journal says in its last issue
to reach this desk on the subject:
Steel rails continue to be quoted at
about $32 in New York and Phila-
deIphia and about $50 in Chicago.
The manufacturers think that they
ou4ht 70 get 40 in Chicago. The

ruUasuAY, rsBRUA~Ys ., 1888

THp Freeholders who are formulat-
ing the new city charter are getting
veal into their work. The plan Of
the city government appeared in the
HxRALD Saturday. The prominent
feature of the new scheme is the large
amount of power vested in the Mayor.
He, is to have q great deal Of patron
age in his hands. He appoints to such
inportant Offices as that OF
City Engineer, City Attorney
and Chief of Police. TIe also
appoints the whole Board OF
Health and is the president of that
as well as Of other boards. There is
much to commend in this plan.
An executive who shall have
% large powers must be q
man OF character, ability and
general responsibility. Such an office
will challenge all political parties to
pnt their very best men in the field
g, and in this way the
ecure firstclass men
slice. But with this
phase ~ question fully in mind
it is doubtful whether the new charter
does not go too far in this direction
Ours is q popular government IT
which the cornerstone of our politics
edifice is the recognition OF the rights
Of the people to self-government, anc
true Americans always acknowledge
the ability of the people to govern
themselves. On this lire it has
usually been considered best to leave
as much power in the peoples hands
~ possible and to delegate even to
the chosen representatives Of the peo-
pie the minimum of power. These
principles may be little
transgressed in our proposed
new charter. Such Offices as
City Engineer and City Attorney, at
least, might perhaps be made elective
with the best results to the city. To
nicely balance this matter of popular
election and patronage in the filling
nf our offices is a fine point. 1t is
one which ehould be carefully con-
sidered.

HOW DIMES ARE MADE.
A Description of the Processes Neces
sary to Complete the Little Coin.

A Description of the Processes Neces-
sary to Complete the Little Coin.
From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
The United States mint in San Francisco
is said to be the largest of the kind in the
world. Just at present there is a lively de-
mand for silver dimes, and two of the money
presses have been running exclusively on
this coin. The demand is SO great that these
machines are mo- even stopping on Sunday.
The process Of 6ime-making is an interest
ing one. The silver bullion is first
melted and run into two-pound bars.
These in turn are run through
immense rollers and fattened out to the
thickness Of the coin. These silver strips
are then passed through a machine, which
cuts them into proper size for the presses,
the strips first having been treated with a
kind of tallow to prevent their being
scratched in their passage through the cut
ters The silver pieces are then put into
the feeder of the printing presses, and are
fed to the die by automatic machinery at
the rate of 100 per minute, As, 900 dimes be-
ing turned ont in q regular working day of
twelve hours.
As the smooth pieces are pressed between
the ponderous printing dies. they receive
the lettered and figured impression in a
manner similar to that of a paper pressed
upon a form Of type; at the same time the
piece is expanded in a slight degree, and the
small c0rrugatlOnS are cut III It's rim. The
machine drops the completed coin into
receiver, and it is ready for the counters
hands. The instrument used by tho
coulter is not complicated machine by
any means as one might suppose. It is
simple copper-colored tray, having raised
edges running across the surface at dis
lance about the exact width of dime.
From the receiver the money is dumped on
the board or tray, and as it is shaken
rapidly by the counter the pieces settle
down into the spoce between the ridges.
All these spaces being filed, the surplus
coin is brushed back into tho receiver, and
the counter has exactly $50 silver dimes,
or S125 on the tray. which number it re-
quires to fill the spaces. Ths tray is then
smptied into the boxes and the money is
ready for shipment. The dime does not pass
Through the hand sof the weigher as does the
coin OF larger denomination. One and
one-half grains are allowed for variation or
Tolerance" in all silver coins from dollar
down. and the deviation from the standard
in the case of the 10 cent pieces is SO trifiing
that the trouble and expense of weighing
the coin Of this denomination is dispensed
with.
