The Charity Rail.

Tomorrow night the good ladies' of
Los Angeles will give, in Turner Hall,
their grand annual ball for the benefit of
the Benevolent Society. 1t is one of the
most deserving of charities. The ladies
who are in charge give their time, their
energies and great deal of their means
to this good work. 1t is the least the
people of the city can do to encourage
them by all means in their power. An
excellent way is to procure ticket and
attend the ball tomorrow night. There
will be an evening of rare enjoyment en-
HANGED by the conscious feeling that the
proceeds 60 to worthy charity.

ssA Night OFF,

Last night at the Los Angeles Theater
that very amusing comedy, A Night Off,
was produced for the first time in Los
Angeles. 1t is one of the brightest, wit.
tiest, cleanest bits of comedy on the
boards to-day. 1t revels in fun from be-
ginning to end. The audience was kept
in roar during the whole progress Of
the play. The company is fairly good
one. The ladies are comely and bright,
and all the cast is artistic to high de-
gree. 1t is needless to attempt any par
ticular analysis of the play or of the cast.
They are things which defy such pro-
cess. The attraction is on for the week
and ought to do an excellent business.

ADJUSTMENTS.
m adame NlOdjeska's Appearance at
the Grand.

This week We are to have the blessed
privilege of seeing Modjeska in fine
repertoire, with the plays handsomely
staged, and backed by one of the best
companies, in many respects, that has
ever helped Shakespearean star in this
country.
Modjeska will open her brief season
here tonight with Mary Stuart, the ill
fated Scottish Queen, of whom Brantome
said: "No one ever beheld her person
without admiration and love, or will
read her history without sorrow"
A beautiful production of As You Like
1t will be given on Tuesday evening.
Modjeska is famous "Rosalind" and
may have sat for Richard Grant Whites
portrait of the daughter of the banished
Duke. She has vivacity and wit enough
to captivate those who like a woman of
spirit, and yet with this is interviewer so
much womanly tenderness and delicacy.
She is in her gayest moods,
SO truly, sometimes SO touch
ingly feminine, that she wins more
admirers than she dazzles.
Adrienne Lecouureur will be presented
Wednesday night. This is the first role
she ever essayed in English, and it is one
OF her best. 1t is always marvellously
well done in her hands and always draws
well.
On Thursday evening the ever popular
Camille will be given. We like Mojeska's
Camille" better than any other per-
formance of the part. If you want an
example of "caressing charm of man
ner," call to mind Nine. Mojeska, when,
as Camille" in the cottage scene, she
looks upon her lover with eyes that are
luminous and dewy with tranquil ecstacy.
For the first time in this city Shake
speare's beautiful and poetic work,
Cymbeline, will be given on Friday night.
In the Interpretation of the leading
character, "Imogen, Nine. Mojeska has
been most happy, and critics have pro-
nounced her complete realization of
the great bard's ideal heroine.
The Saturday matinee and Saturday
evening bill is not announced.
The sale of seats has been phenome-
nally large, and most brilliant season
is assured.
The entire company, with Nine. Mod.
ieska, her husband, Count Bozenta; AL.
Hayman, the proprietor of the Baldwin
Theater, San Francisco, and Mrs. AL.
Haymau arrive this morning from San
Francisco.

Senator Morrill, of Vermont knows some thing about Republicanism. In the Forum he reviews the present condition of the party and outlines the work which lies before It. It's early work, be says, will be to equalize the revenue and expenditure. It insists up- on the reform of the civil service, begun un- der Republican administration. It will insist upon the bi-metallic standard, sand upon maintaining the use and circulation of both gold and silver coinage. It will hearth ly support protection of home industries and home labor. It will favor the extension of the charters of national banks in any safe and proper way. It proposes to stamp out the wiokedness of polygamy wherever the United States government has tho power. It favors the reduction of letter postage to one cent per ounce. It esserts that lawful citi- zenship is and must be tho panoply and safe guard of him who wears Sit, and should pro- test him, whether high or low, rich or poor. in all of his civil rights at home and abroad. It intends to take care that no men who have honorably worn the federal unifo1A shall ever be inmates of an almshouse. It will maintain the doctrine that the United Statei is a nation, and that 'in maintaining our na- tional rights and honor all governments art alike to rs," however greatly they may differ in power. It will cordially sustain all wise and we'll directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality. It will favo, ocean mail service by American ships. I, will liberally support the building up of the navy to standard of efficiency worthy of our country. It will favor education, State and national. It will also favor the exolu' sion of pauper and criminal immigrants.
 This Is q comprehensive programme. Re- publicans will generally agree that it is all right.

Japan.
From the New York Herald.i

From the New York Herald.l
 Japan covers an area Of 157, 1000 square miles, and is therefore about three times as large as the State of New York, but not quite as large as California.
 It has @ population of 38, ,000, ,000, seven times as many people as this State holds.
 The Mikado, not yet 30 years of ago, has been on the throne about half of that time. Public opinion has been strong enough to de- msnd from him modification of the unlim- tied power which his ancestors enjoyed. He has 50 far yielded as to decree that in 1890 Japan shall turn over 6 new page in her his- tory, and become @ constitutional monarchy, with an upper House like the Lords of Eng land and lower House to represent the iu- tsrests of the people. This will create a new era, all the more conspicious because the temper and traditions of the Orient are who'll
 ly despotic. It separates Jepan from China, and gives her position in modern civiliza- tion not unlike that of Germany. and far in advance of Russia.
 You will scarcely be surprised at this quiet observe the condition of the people. On the contrary, you will see that it is an inevitable step in the evolution of national life among the Japanese.
 Progress in the arts, sciences, education and commerce of the empire has been phe- nominal. Prior to the visit of Comodore Per " in 1853, for example, Japan had no veg sells, steam, or sails, of any account. She was hardly abreast of China in this regard, and her merchant marine presented pitiable spectacle. To-day she has we'll equipped navy and dock yards. Her resources have 90 developed that she can design, con- struct, equip and officer 6 feet of war ships.
 She has 13s national banks, with a capital of $44 ,000, 900; 4,500 postal stations; tele- graph stations in 112 towns and cities; eight lines of telegraph communication and 5,e00 miles of wire.
 All this shows progiess. But by her edu- cationsl system Japan exeites our aston ishment. Her kindergarten schools are far ahead of those in this country, as is amply proved by the exhibit at Paris. In the mat ter of elementary education she leads the world. Scattered throughout the empire are
 thirty thousand schools of different grades, in which sixty thousand teachers give in- struction to well nigh three million pupils. She supports one hundred and seventy-three colleges, six schools for the higher education of women seventy eight Normal schools and two universities. In the law school at Tekio are more than thousand students, nearly half of whom study in English. She has all SO thirty-one medical schools, in one of which are nine hundred students, and six hundred and sixty-fvs hospitals where pat ients are sheltered.
 The exports and imports of Japan amount | to about ninety million dollars. The United States buys seventeen million dollars' worth of products and sells her something less than three million dollars worth in return.

and are careful to avoid them in flying, but 1t would seem either that this is a mistake or that the birds on the Scotch and English moors arc less intelligent than their fellows. Systematic observation there along line of telegraph wires has shown that great des- truction of bird life goes on throughout the year and that at certain seasons the roadside is literally strewn with the remains of un- fortunate grouse, black game, partridge, snipe and other birds. Every morning at dawn marauding bands of rocks come from the low land woods to feast on the dead and dying, and the farmers and shepherds in the region declare that more grouse are killed annually by the telegraph wires than by all the sportsmeu

In shipping to Atlanta and Georgia points they are gene rally dressed, but the majority go to Wash- fngton and are shipped there alive.

 From the Utica Observerl
 A gentleman at the depot, while watching the departure of gang of Italians who were going to work on the Carthage and Adiron- dack railroad, said: ''I was along c portion of that road recently and large force of these fellows were blasting out stumps with giant powder. They would punch holes down in the ground under the stumps and put in quantity of the explosive, then tramp down the grsand around it and touch it of with fuss. Five or six stumps would be prepared, all of the workmeH but SnsS would retire several hundred feet to safe place and that one would set the fuses of all the stumps on fire and then run for safety behind some tree or stump.
 "There was place where there were five stumps in clump. Four of them were loaded for blasting and the fifth one left for the man who set the fuses to run behind. In setting the fuses the Italian got mixed up. It is Q conf1sing business and he had 10 do it in hurry. He had laid down behind one of the stumps that was loaded No one could warn him. A moment of sus- pense and the explosion came. Dirt, stones, water, roots and Italian went high into the air. One after another the other three ex- ploded, and when danger had passed we ran forward, expecting to see his msngled re- mains. He sat in the cavity caused by the uplifting of the stump he had laiE behind, Worming the dirt ont of his ears, stupefied but unhurt. The expression that rested on his face when his countrymen laughed at and joked him could only be equaled in comicality by the look of surprise that must have overcome him when the retreat he sup posed was secure rose in sudden violence by the explosion of several pounds of dyna- mite"

TME EYER GLORIOUs.

Again we have come to ever the glorious and ever noisy Fourth. It is pity that patriot ism cannot show itself in any better and more agreeable way than by making a big and more or less continuous noise, and de- stroying the peace and endaggering life and property. But the expression of any feeling is limited and unsatisfactory, and we must take things as they are. Tomorrow will bring another day and much quieter one. We can endure this for what 1t means, and for the pleasure 1t gives the powder-loving children. Those who are so disposed can help matters some by keeping a sharp look out against fires and accidents.

Duluth Herald: One of the lead
ing problems, just now puzzling all
commercial interests of the North
west, is the purchasing power Of the
new crop. With corn there seems
but little doubt. The crop to be har-
vested is larger than ever known and
there is great deal Of old corn yet
stored aud unsold. The price will
doubtless be low. With wheat the
case is different. Though options are
now selling at low figures, there
seems reason to believe that the bull
side of the market will be the winner
While in some parts Of the West the
wheat crop is very large, the aggre.
gate will not be up to average. Stocks
are very low, and while todays's re.
port shows an increase it is not 81
large as usual at this time. Last
week showed decrease as against an
increase of million or two bushels in
previous years. There has not, in
years been time when stocks were SC
low. Bradstreet estimates the de.
crease in United States stocks, visible
and invisible, as 100000 bushels
Other countries will need more of oul
wheat than for several years past, and
the export movement, unless there
are foolish movements to keep local
prices up, bids fair to rival the good
old days when India was in the dis.
lance and Russia but shadow.

Minneapolis Journal: The press
reports about the provisions of the
Samoan treaty seem to have been
about right. The Germans are bring.
ing home Malietoa and his three
chiefs expelled by them. 1t is true
that they say this return of Malietoa
is of their own free will and not the
result OF the Berlin conference. But
the world does not need to be told
that if the United States had moi
taken decided stand for the restora
ton of the order of things that pre-,
vailed two years ago Malietoa would
have ended his days in exile. The
return of Malietoa means an end Of
German dictatorship in the little
kingdom.
This Samoan affair was in one
sense a small matter and yet in view
Of the position taken by this
government it became of the
highest Importance that the settle
ment should be favorable to the ole
King or at least chat he should have
u chance to regain his kingdom if hi.
people still desired him for their King
This seems to have been provided for
inasmuch us the Germans ut Samoa
express themselves as favorable tt
Malietoa for King and their mar
Tamasese for Vice King. .-..
