"The Two Orphans" is one of the best
written melodramas that ever was put
upon the stage, and the more frequently
one sees it the more strong is he i'm
pressed with the fact. 1t deserves the
length of days granted 1T by popular de-
cree. 1t was presented at the Academy
of Music, last evening, by the Claxton
company.
Kate Claxton's Louise is the same
gentle and sympathetic i-mpersonation
that made her name famous, nor has Mr..
Stevenson lost any of the spirit with which
he animates the mash of Jacques, the
outlaw. Rose Eytinge is with them as the
Countess De Linieres, and Arthur II.
Forrest as the cripple, Pierre. Esther
Lyon as Henriette is thoroughly s~atisfac
tory and was rewarded last night with
proper expressions of appreciation. Maud
Holsford as Marianne is also worthy of
commentator. There's a very pretty girl
who plays the part of Julie with much
grace and sings a song that wins her
favor with a good voice excellently
trained. 1t is Miss Annie Donaldson,
rather a new conner upon he stage, but
one who will no doubt achieve increasing
success by her intelligence and charming
personality.
Wednesday night and Thursday Matinee,
after which the same company presents
1.-THE World Against Her" for the re-
mainder of the week.

Miss Jennie Calef, the charming SOU
brette, began a weeks engagement last
night at H. r. Jacobs Hoboken Theatre
in the comedy drama "An American
Princess" She was greeted by a large
audience. The play, Is q strong one and
of more than usual interest. She is an
actress of sterling merit and is supported
by Mr.. @. II. Smite's strong comedy COM

FISK TROUBLES THEM ALL.

Papers of All Parties Trying to Size Up
the Eject of His Flop Over to sewell.
The discussion raised by our recent
interview with Clinton b. Fisk and
the succeeding interviews with other
leading prohibitionists continues to
occupy the press of the State. Here
are some more of the things the
editors say
ABUSE FOR MR.. PARKER.
From the Ne1D Br1ns,cick Fredoaian (Rep)
The irrepressible G. L. Parker, of
Perth Amboy, is as rampant as usua
in third party politics. He has been
raving mad recently and some one has
gone SO far as to quote him. He
says
/ am a strong Prohibitionist, and I do not
mean to take a step backwards.
Having been a republican. demo
crat, greenbacker, mugwump and pro-
hibitionist, the ability of Mr.. Parker
to remain q prohibitionist is unques-
toned. Again.
feel that the prohibitionists should hold a con
vention early, make nominations for Governor
and for the Legislature, and have as thorough a
canvass made as possible.
Having failed to get an Office
through President Cleveland, and hav-
ing had the blue pencil drawn across
his name by the republican leaders
as far back as 1875, the method of
Parker's present madness is accounted
for.
BETTER THAN LOCAL OPTION.
From the Neacark Journal (Dem.l
Chairman Parker of the Prohibi-
ton State Committee is not in accord
with Clinton B. Fisk, He says that
the Werts law sis better in all its
parts than the local option law" of
1883. He sees in that precious piece
of republican legislation only the trick
of the republican leaders to come in
between the real parties in controversy,
the Democrats and Prohibitionists and
cheat both.
The Democratic party is for reason
| able high license and proper regula-
| ton. The third party is for total pro.
hibition. The Republican party strad-
dies between these principles with a
hybrid policy that was invented fol-
the emergency and has nothing in
view but votes.
For all the purposes OF temperance
the democratic principle embodied in
the Werts law is s'better in all its
parts than the local option law
which it supplanted. That is the ties.
timony of a sincere man who has nc
bargains to make with General Sewell
| for the State patronage andno private
axe to grind. And he speaks for the
stalwart temperance sentiment of the
state.
A REPUBLICAN HOWL.
From the Elizabeth journal Rep.)
Mr.. Parker, of the State Prohibition
Committee, opposes General Fisk
present opinions, and says the Wert'
law is better in all its parts than the
local option law" of 1883. He evidently
sees a vacant place for himself since
General Fisk refuses to be a candidate
again. And the public see a vacanr
place in Mr.. Parker's understanding
THE FISK MYSTERY.
From the Camden Telegram.
1t is beginning to be a question o
dispute as to whether General Fisk il
a prohibitionist, a democrat or a re
publican.

Adulteration in Canada.

TTUW DTUtEStTFtES o.
1t appears that spices furnish the
largest proproportion of adulterated
samples in Canada, a majority of
those examined by the Commissioner
being adulterated. Coffee also is the
subject of a considerable share of adul-
teration. Adulteration is also preva-
lent in milk, butter, cream of tartar,
liquor and drugs. In the case of but
ter, coffee and spices the percentage
of adulterated samples has, it appears,
largely increased.

A GENTLEMAN experienced in such

for the alarm which was excited by
the announcement that the applejack
crop this year was likely to be a failure.
The wise farmer, he explains, keeps
five barrels in the cellar of his house,
one Of which he fills with applejack
annually. The fifth year he and his
friends empty it, the plan being to
have constantly on hand a supply
Of applejack five years old.
So the suffering incident to the
possible failure of the applejack vim
tage is five years away, if it comes at
all, and there are four years to be jolly
in. 1t is possible, too, that next years
crop may be a phenomenal one, in

This paper Is Democratic IN principles

An Ubiquitous Document.

Here is one of the most iniquitous
political documents that ever was
drafted; it has been printed in THE
JERSEY CRY NEWS already, but we
reproduce it, because we think every
voter should have an opportunity to
study it. 1t will assuredly be one of
the most important determining
factors in the next campaign
TRENTON, May ID, 1889.
The republican Senators and Assemblymen,
members of the 18th Legislature of the State of
New Jersey, desire to call your attention to the
gross craftsmanship of the democratic majority Of
the last Legislature of New Jersey. By caucus
measures they have repealed all the wise laws
passed by previous Legislatures whereby the APP
pointments in the State were made strictly parti-
san, and then transferred the entire appointing
power from the Legislature to the Governor.
The courts of New Jersey have been made
solidly democratic. The republican Superintend-
ent Of Public Instruction, with two years OF his
term of service still unexpired, has been ousted
from Office to make room for a democrat. The
Pilot Commissioners, with unexpired terms, the
Inspectors of the State In the middle of their
terms OF service, the Commissioners of the Sink
ing Fund, the Riparian Commissioners, the
Boards of Trustees Of the Asylums for the Insane
and the Trustees of the reform schools for boys
and girls, the asylum for the deaf and dumb,
have all been placed under democratic rule. In
addition to the acts already recited, the State has
been 'sgerrymandered" into Assembly districts Of
the most shameful and partisan character.
Because of these things we look to the repub-
lican administration at Washington for aid, and,
therefore, earnestly suggest to your Excellency,
as a wise proposition, that the President forth
with remove from Office in New Jersey the many
obnoxious democrats now occupying Federal
positions in our State.
Because the chosen representatives
of the majority of the people of the
State did their duty at Trenton their
political adversaries look to the Presi-
dent for revenge They know they
have no appeal to the people. The
majority of the citizens are against
them, and heartily approve the action
of the Democrats in the Legislature,
and so in violation of their oaths of
office to support the dignity and autho-
rity and freedom of the State, these
Republican Assemblymen and Senators
call in an outside element of coercion.
Even if the Democratic majority did
the most infamous things the country
W e saw, what right has the President
to interfere?
Who is this President to whom the
bafied tools of General Sewell appeal2
Is he a Dictator clothed with despotic
power, or is he the executive servant
of all the people to carry out their will
according to the provisions of the
Constitution.
The conduct of those who have for
INFLATED this infamous demand have
insulted the dignity of every State in
the Union, and have committed a
treason which will rise up in judgment
against them whenever they stand be-
fore the people whose rights they have
outraged.

Lord Beaconfeld's Flower.

From the american AyTictttNTtSt
1t is a popular idea that the late
Lord Beaconsfield was particularly
devoted to primroses, and on the 18th
of April many Englishmen still wear
the bright little yellow '.firstling of
spring. in memory of the famous
statesman. The fact is, however, he
cared no more for primroses than for
dandelions, the gardenia, if anything,
being his favorite flower; and a Mr..
Escoft tells us that one day, as he wa
strolling with Lord Beaconsfield
through the lovely grounds of
Hughenden, he happened to remark
that the peacocks had pecked away
the roots of the primroses, at which
my lord said:-"Yes, it is sad; but, to
tell the truth, I prefer peacocks to
primroses."
How, then, did the blossom come to
be associated with his name? 1t is
said to have occurred in the following
manner -
On the day of Lord Beaconfield's
funeral, the Queen sent an immense
wreath of p%rimroses to be placed upon
his coffin; and on a card attached she
wrote Ills favorite flower p This
tribute of royalty with the accom-
panying inscription naturally at
tracted much attention and was the
beginning of the primrose craze. But
the truth was, Her Majesty was not
thinking about Lord Beaconsfield at
all when she wrote the words, but had
the Prince Consort in her mind, as he
was really extremely fond OF primroses,
and it was his prediction she was re-
Numbering rather than that OF her
distinguished subject.
