A DIFFICULT SITUATION.

We object. Good theatrical companies are
for the public enjoyment, and we
our protest against any act or policy
which must render it impossible to keep such
q combination together.
An actress in a'well-known company now
playing in Chicago recently took O recess
from her engagement and made a trip into
the country. The lady. who plays the parts
in which tights " are the main feature, did
not go alone, and her companion left a wife
behind him to look after his home affairs.
since the return Of the actress to her
professional duties she has objected to GER
tain words in the part filled by the
leading lady, and also to certain illusions in
her songs which seem to reflect on the recent
eseapade. They were in the part and in the
songs before, and the leading lady objected
70 cutting them out TO meet a peculiar emer-
gency. The manager sided against the lead
ing lady, and the latter has been bounced.
Now the ladies and gentlemen of a theat-
rical combination are TO be allowed TO de.
mand the exclusion of all illusions In
. play which appear to reflect on
any OF their personal eccentricit,es,
there will be an end to all dra.
matte entertainments. Imagine how even
eHArHsPzAnH would be slaughtered and GU,
beat actors at leading houses would be orip,

The Central Labor Union has set o good
example to those engaged in the management
of parades and other holiday shows. Having
received permission from the Park Commits
sion to use the cottage in Union Square as u
reviewing stand, the Committee of Arrange
ments has determined that it shall be re-
served for the women to the exclusion of the
men. That is generous and gallant, but
these are qualities for which the true work
ingman is generally distinguished.

THE HALF-HoLIpAY Law.

The Stock Exchange members. according
to report, are opposed to Gov. HILL while
fayoring the election Of Mr.. CLEVELAND.
This is all regular and consistent. The stock
brokers were the real " kickers -" against the
Half Holiday law and the most eager for its
repeal last session. They did not want to be
shut out from i" making turns " and earning
an honest penny by stock gambling from
Friday afternoon until Monday morning I;
for under the Half Holiday law no business
can be lone on the Exchange on Saturday.
Gov. HILL vetoed their bill repeating the
HALF Holiday law. Hence their tears.
But win not Gov. HILL be rather benefited
than injured politically by his refusal to de-
prive the working people, clerks. iaborers,
shopwomen and others, of one half holiday
out Of six days of hard and wearing toll ?
The EVENING WORLD urged the veto of the
Repeal bill in the interest of the people. We
believe that we were right in demanding that
the law-the one small measure of relief
meted out to the ~toilers-should not be swept
away at the bidding Of stock brokers who
have half holidays every day in the week to
enjoy their riding, driving, yachting and
other amusements that need not be particu-
larized. Gov. HILL vetoed the Repeal bill
on the broad ground of the greatest good for
the greatest number, and we do not think
the stock brokers will succeed in making the
veto work against the Governors political
intereats.

LABOR DAY BASEBALL.

Paterson VIII Have Two Great Games,
Which Everybody should Sec.
THE EVENING WoRLp's Newsboy baseball
nine goes to Paterson, Monday morning to
play the Delaware Juniors two games of ball,
completing a series of three games.
The first game lately resulted in q score Of
8 to 2 in the newsboys' favor, and it was o
most exciting and interesting game. The
games on Monday give good promise of being
Just as interesting and close. and as they will
be played on Labor Day, which will be OBJ
served fttingly In Paterson. large crowds will
undoubtedly attend them. They will be
played on the Olympic Baseball Grounds.

Good Reason for the Hot-Corn Peddier's
Happy Smile.


The season for green corn is at its height,
and as a consequence the hearts of many
people are humping with joy, particularly
that OF the hot-corn man.
In winter you will find him selling hot
Frankfort sausages. but when the hot-corn sea-
son arrives he comes out boldly to dispose of
as many ears of the ~favorite cereal as possible.
The reason why the heart of this individual
is happy is that there is a big profit in the
business.
He buys the corn at say 90 cents O hundred,
which would be q good price, and at five
cents an ear this brings IS.
Take out 35 cents for O pound of butter,
salt and pepper, and rs cents more for fire,
and this leaves a clear profit of SO. 80.
Some of these peddlers sell from $50 to 800
cara of corn o day and night, and of course
the expense is lessened, while the profits are
increased.
Somehow or other the - hot-corn men " of
New York and Brooklyn lack the easy going,
sing-song way of calling out their wares that
their brethren in other cities possess.
In either of our cities he satisfies himself
with merely calling out in a very plain tone,
while in Philadelphia and other places the
merchant of his kin sings.
In New York and Brooklyn the business is
conducted by men, while in Philadelphia the
business is about equally divided between
males and females.

An evening contemporary yesterday made
a splurge over the romantic marriage Of E.
NJ. YOUNG, of New York, at st. Paul. The
details of this story appeared in The WORLD
of Aug. 2sth, sixty hours before. The
WORLD gets its news by telegraph when 1t is
news. The old-fashioned method of re-
vamping yarns from exchanges in the mail
bag still seems to satisfy some Of our contem-
poraries.

POLITICS GETTING LIVELY.
BUT THE REPUBLICANS FIND BUT COLD
COMFORT IN THE SITUATION.

Reports from the West and East Look Bna
for the q. O.. P.-Local Democrats Gird
Themselves for the Fray - Proposed
Moves by the CouutIes, Tnmmany Han
and the Purroy Faction.
The campaign is waxing warm.
The two National Committees are hard at
work, and 80 are the State Committees.
About one million documents leave Now
York City every day.
The whole country is being flooded with
tariff reform and protection literature.
Encouraging reports " are ~vouchsafed at
all the headquarters. a
The Republican bosses. however. are not
as ~sanguine as they were.
They are hearing reports from the farmers
of the West and the mechanics of the East.
The free trade bugaboo of the m~onopolists
and the manufacturers is being drowned.
Workingmen are finding out that high
protection only protects the miliionaires.
The Republican State ticket has fallen fat.
The nomination Of -Woodpulp Warner Mil
Ter has created no enthusiasm.
The Democratic State Convention meets at
Buffalo, Sept. IL, and as usual, Tammany
Hall and the County Democracy will unite
on a list of delegates at the convention.
1t now looks as iffthere would be no p
sition to the denomination of David B. Hill.
After the Democratic ticket has been
placed in the field'and the local Democratic
leaders return to the city, municipal politics
will begin to get hot.
Will there be a union between Tammany
Hall and the County Democracy on q county
ticket1 will be the important question to be
discussed.
Rumor has it that, the National and State
Committees will befin favor of a union, and
that President Cleveland and Gov. Hill are
also inclined to use their influence for har-
mony.
The Tammany Hall leaders. however, are
still opposed to a union.
Commissioner Croker remains silent, but
he is known to be in favor of a three-cor-
nered fight.
The Purroy Democrats are anxious to 60
| cunning for County Democrats scalps and
are willing to help, Tammany Hall if the
Wigwam SHOULD declare for war.
As reported in The EVENING WORLD yes
terday, Police Justice Andrew j. White has
resigned from the County Democracy and he
will join the organization named in honor of
Henry ID. Purroy.
Commissioners Croker said to-day II was
not surprised TO hear that Judge White had
left the County Democracy. He is a very
strong and popular man, and his departure
from the County Democracy will be felt"
Even as 1t is, the County Democracy ma
chine of the Twenty-third and the twenty
fourth districts have been somewhat demon
allied by the skipping away of Judge White
and Commissioner Purroy, and now rumors
will skip from the Counties.
Judge Power says that the resignation of Q
leader or two will not injure the organiza-
ton. His theory is that the County Democ-
racy got along before the boilers Joined ~
He says they bolted Taminany Hall q few
years ago and that Tammany Hall did not
