Chicago Opera-House.


 Renewed interest has been aroused In the mag nfcent spectacular extravaganza, "Bluebeard, Jr," at the Chicago opera house, by the presentation of the second edition of the piece In this second edi tion there are a number of noteworthy changes, principally, however, In the music. Mr John Bra ham has been entrusted with the revision of the music He has added a number of "catchy" melo- dies, which are bound to become popular through out the country. Chief among these Is "When the Cats Away the Mice will Play" sung by FatinG, officers and chorus. There Is . new song introduced for Selfm, "The Army Is 90 Grand" This is musical gem. The musical faGle of the first act has been entirely changed, and Is the most musicAnly feature of the entire performance. "An Oriental Swell" is a new solo for Bin6eard. It is admirably sung by Mir. Henry c. Peakes. A new continental song, "Like June Skies" Is introduced in the second act by Miss Lily Post. Her magnif- oent voice has better opportunity for display in this than in any number in the piece. Mr. Marti- netti and Miss Murills have introduced . very old but "catchy" duet, "Listen to My Tale of Woe" Although there Is nothing new in this, the inimita- ble "business" which accompanies the singing of the song earns for those two artists half dozen encOres nightly. "The Dude Brigade" Is . song and chorus by Aastopha, AbdaHah and officers, and Is as catchy as anything in the Mulligan Guard series 1t Is written in the same tuneful measure, and will be whistled and sung throughout the country. The audiences at the Chicago opera house still remain large It Is estimated that for the past four weeks over s0,0O0 persons have wit messed the mammoth production.

From the .PhiIndeIphin P,.cs,


referring TO the Standard Oil Company re-
of the occasion is now one of the best-known
newspaper writer's in New York. Some years
ago, within a decade, the newspaper man held
the position of private secretary to a memb ar
of the executive council of the Standard, with
an office high up in the big building on Broad
way ShorGly after assuming the duties of his
position he became greatly annoyed by the
ing of a quietly dressed. md-mannered man
who persisted in exercising his mrscl on a
health-lift in one corner of the apartment.
The clerk was Lew aud the visitor unknown to
him, and, judging from his appearance. was a
person of no consequence around the establish
ment. The silent and metho1ical health-lifter
so aggravated the private secretary that he
finally one day blurted out;
Look h-re, my friend, want you to take
that blamed apparatus out of here and timber
up your joints somewhere else.'
The visit r. who until that moment had never

promptly at II O'Clock daily Upon this par

called upon by bis superior to take some notes
OF the proceedings relating to his department.
AS the young man entered the room what was
his modification and surprise to observe at the
head of the long table, as chairman of the coun-

TOO Anxious for Praise.

? A few days ago the New York Press sent
the following inquiry to la ge number Of
| leading republicans in different parts of the
| country: Has President Harrison's ad-
minist alton thus far been satisfactory to
his party and acceptable to the country at
lager On Sunday the Press printed about
a page Of answers, about all of which were
in the affirmative.
Was not the inquiry rather silly onei
The President has been in office only about
tw months, what has he done in that
time to enable anybody to form an opinion
of his administration His whole time has
been taken up by the office-seekers. Be-
yond appointing the Samoan commission
and issuing a proclamation opening Okla
homa to settlement be has done nothing in
the way of admins ering the g We vernmen-.
How then can anyone sa that his admins
tration has been satisfactory to bis party
and acceptable to the peoplea
1t is notorious that the work in which the
President has been engaged since he took
the oath of office, viz. the dividing of the
spoils, has not thus far been satisfactory to
the party leaders. On tbs contrary, there
is a great deal of dissatisfaction with it. A
days vi it in Washington will convincs any
one that. if talk counts for anything. the
Preside.t has very few warm friends
among the politicians who gather there, and
who represent pretty fairly the sentiments
in their respective sections. In view of the
fact that many more are disappointed than
made glad of tn ose who apply for Office it
can hardly be said that within the party
ranks there is such overwhelming satisfac-
tio1 with the administration.
The issuing of the Oklahoma procIama-
tion and the appointment of the Samoan
commission were not acts upon which an
opinion of the administrati~ N can be based,
becau'e they indicated no policy. The
President, however, has been quite severely
criticised for delaying the Oklahoma procla-
nation until the land sharks had perfected
their schemes for grabbing all the best
lands, thus depriving honest settlers, who
had been waiting on the Kansas border for
years for the opening of the territory, of a
chance to get homes. The Samoan COM
mission has been criticised, because one
member of it is the author of published
articles which may impair his usefulness at
Berlin.
When the President has done something
upon which the people can pass an opinion
it will be time enough for the Presidents
New York organ to ask leading republicans
if they don't think he is making first-rate
Pres dent. That 5000 office seems TO have
made something of a toady of the editor of
the Press.

What Would Be the Gain ?

The country hears a pod deal these days
about breaking the solid south, and there
are some democrats VINO declare that it
would be good thing for the party If the
s nth should be divided They say that a
solid S s1uth makes a solid north, that a
divided south would make divided north,
and that when some of the southern states
go over TO the republicans, enough norther /
states will become democratic to insure the
election of democratic President.
What assurance can these de nocrats give
that what they say is truea Do they un-
derstand the situation better than those
who do not agree with theml Are they in
better position to speak knowingly The
south has not always been solidly demo-
cratic, d at the time when it was not a
democratic President was not elected.
There may be better grounds for believing
tlat one would be elected now, if the south
should be divided, but if there are, they
have not been stated, and until they are,
and shown to be goo |, it would be very u l.
wise to relinguish our hold upon southern
states in the hope of carrying northern ones
which are uncertain.
Even if such policy would bring about
the election of a democratic President,
what would the south gain by its These
democrats appear to have lost sight of the
fact tn 1T the south is not solid against the
north, but against bad state aud county
government IN this section. II the north
were eliminated, and if the condition that
confrOnts us in the south were what 1t is
now, the south would still be solidly demo-
cratic. Her interests are all in that direc-
tion, and the election of republican Presi-
dent is far preferable to the turning over
of local government in even few states Of
this section to an ignorant and a vicious
class of people. This is no doubt the view
that nearly all of the southern democrats
take of the matter, and as long as they hold
to it, President Harrison nor anybody else
can evolve plan that would break the
solid south.

rne presIdent,s southern Partr.


There seems TO be no loager any reason
to doubt that it is the Presidents purpose
to encourage the movement that was
started at Birmingham few weeks ago to
build up white Republican party in the
south Robert L. Houston. who was ap-
pointed postmaster at Birmingham on Tues
day, is one of the leaders in that
movement. Now that the move
ment has been recognized in SO
conspicuous a manner. it is not improba-
bic that it will make its appearance in
other parts of the south where there are
offices to be had.
But it cannot bs denied that there ara
good many white republic ms in the south
who are glad of this chance to sever their
| political relations with the col red replbli-
cans, although they know that withous the
votes of the blacks they will not make much
Of figure in politics. They wouli rather
be in very small mi ority, however, than
to continue connection that doese It
promise to place their party in the ssceu-
dency in the SOUTH and which makes their
relations with their white neighbors far
from satisfactory.
If the effort to establish white Republi-
can party is an earnest one, and is wisely
directed, the party may become quite
strong in several parts Of the south. There
are protectionists here and there who may
join it. A day or two ago Mr. Collier, of
Nashville, Tenn, who was recently the
editor of the American of that city, st ated
that he and others might eveptually find
their way into a white Republican party, if
such party gained foothold in the south.
1t must be apparent, however, to the most
careless OBJ server that a white Republican n
party can never be very strong in the
south unless the issues between the two
great parties undergo a radical change
The great majority of the white people Of
the south are firmly convinced that the
doctrine of protection as taught bv the
republican party is hostile to their inter
ests.
OF course the colored people don't like
this white Republican party movement
They don't see how it is to benefit them,
and they feel as if they were being de-
serted. 1t seems that one OF them, who
edits paper in Jersey City, gave the
PRESIDENT quite lecture the other day for
favoring the Birmingham movement. The
pre- 'ident must have been amused, AID per-
haps slightly annoyed, at being lectured by
man who few years ago was regarded
in louisiana as a great nuisance even by
republicans of that state. He represented
one Of the northern parishes 10 the Louis
lima legislature for several years, and
although he male himself heard whenever
an opportunity for doing so presented it,
self. nobody ever heard him say anything
that was worth listening to- He must have
left Louisiana because even people of his
own co.or there couldn't stand him any
longer. And this Is the man who lectured
the President! The President must be a
very patient man, or he would have dis
missed him before he uttered adozsn words.
