IT is announced that the Booth-Bar-
rett engagement at San Francisco is a
financial failure, and that that is the real
cause for prematurely closing it, rather
than the breaking down of Mr.. Booth,
The truth is, the theater-gOer of this
country are imposed upon by exhorbI-
tant charges, and they are finding 1t
out and acting accordingly. Seats to
hear the Thomas Orchestra cost 81. To
hear the Philharmonic Orchestra, at vi
emma. conducted by the great Richter,
who has no rival as director, and whose
band is the most superb the world has
ever known, costs just One-fourth that
sum. So, we pay one dollar foran even
ing with Booth, while in the continent
al cities of Europe about one-tourth
that sum admits one to the best theaters.
If managers and actors will not Volunta-
riIv reform this imposition, the people
will compel them to do it by withhold
ing their support.

additional Editorial on first page.

REPUBLICANS can not too often have
impressed upon them the absolute ne
cessity, this year, of putting behind
them all factional differences, and OF
presentinga united front against threat
ened Democratic ascendancy. Men who
are chosen to represent the party IN
conventions will make fatal mistakes II
they do not 90 to such gatherings with a
single purpose to do the best thing for
the party, regardless of factions and OF
personal considerations. If any men
have any grievances to right, they must
choose some other occasion. The nom
inees must be honorable, upright, and
true men-men whom the people know
they can depend upon to serve the pub
lie faithfully and well. At no time
since the organization of the party has
if bebooyed those who will be chosen to
represent Republicans in nominating
conventions to be so circumspect as this
vear-to realize that they are chosen,
not as the representatives Of individuals
but as the representatives of a great
Cause. which no selfish interest should
he permitted to imperil.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.

From the New York Tribune.
A Maine Yankee who has been visiting
the Pacific Coast says that nearly every
thing disappOints him. The Palace HO-
tel, in San Francisco, he found to be an
ugly wooden affair. most of whose rooms
are dark cells. The bar-roOms, however,
are excellent, and the furnishings are gor-
geOus. He was especially struck with the
daring character of the oil paintings in
the bar-rOOmS, as instanced in a life-size
portrait of blonde lady, dressed in a
handsome pigeon lowering in front of
her. But even with all its artistic attrac-
tons, he decides that San Francisco isn't
half so pleasant as Bangor, Me-

THE value of Democratic professions
of reform is illustrated in the case of
Mayor Grant, of New York, who has
inst converted the Police Board, which
has been composed of two Republicans
and two Democrats ever since it was es-
tablished, into a Tammany machine.
No Mayor of New York ever before had
the courage to override the unwritten
law that the Police Board, which has
charge of the election machinery, shall
be bipartisan, or rather bipartisan.
The Democrats, no matter what faction
they belong to, never lose an opportunl-
ty to grab every Office within reach, and
have the utmost contempt not only for
reform but for fairness and decency as
well.

FlOm the New Ork WOTIu.
\ political deal is now announced be-
tween the Republicans of the city and the
remnant of the County Democracy organ
izatiOn. The purpose is to carry the next
Legislature by sufficient majority to
defy the Governors veto and then amend
the charter of New Y YOrk City so as to de-
prive Tammany of its power and patron
age. The failure of the Mayor to come
up to public expectation makes this sort
of deal practicable, and unless the Tam
many managers institute reforms and re-
gain public confidence pretty soon they
may make up their minds to go. And

THE latest developments in the DIR.
Cronin tragedy at Chicago are very SEN

was he tried, convicted, found guilty OF
treason to the Clan-Na-Gael and muir
dered by committee of that society Sc
lected by secret ballot, but that num-
Der of other prominent Irishmen were
convicted and sentenced also. The Chi

place Sunday and was one of the largest
ever seen in Chicago. Seven thousand

DEMOCRATIC "HOME RULE,

From the st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.
Florida Democrats are willing to dis
franchise themselves if there is no other
method available for disfranchiSing col
ored Republicans. In Jacksonville the
Democratic nominees for city offices have
been again and again defeated, and to get
over the difficulty the Legislature has been
persuaded to amend the city charter so as
to make the city offices appointive and
place the patronage in the hands of the
Governor.

REMINISCENT OF OLD TIMES.

From the Chicago Times.
An old-fashioned killing bee has Just
been held at place called Forest City, in
Arkansas. The Sheriff, Marshal, and an
other person passed away with their spurs
on. 1t is pleasant to note these little
breaks along the line of the Southwestern
horizon. They prove that the grand old
spirit of ante-bellum days still lives, and
will now and then make itself manifest.

hoped that after this recreation the great
actor will be in better form for next sea

he will honor the stage for years to come,

rienced in the last few seasons.

A ST. GAINESVILLE BOY ABROAD.

From the Eddyville (lOwal Tribune.
1t is now settled fact that Prof. J. 4.
Wiley, of this city, will be the Democratic
candidate for County Superintendent Of
public schools. Such move has been on
foot for some time past among Mr.. Wiley's
most intimate friends, and they have now
concluded to push it through. Mr.. McIn-
tyre positively refuses to be candidate,
and this leaves the field open to Mr.. Wiley,
almost without opposition in the cOnven-
ton. In Ottumwa, and throughout the
Southern part of the county, Mr. Wiley
is gaining popularity very rapidly, and is
talked of as the strongest man in the
county to put forward as the Democratic
candidate. Should the Democrats of Wa
pello County place him upon the ticket
which they undoubtedly will-they will
find in Mr.. Wiley man who will poll as
large vote as any man in the County.

KEEP 1T OUT OF POLITICS.

New York dispatch, May IS.
At the opening of the Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly to-day, Rev. DR.. Crosby said
he was sorry to see the protest against the
temperance resolution recorded. His OBJ
iect in opposing the adoption of the SEN
timent was to prevent the church being
dragged into the political arena. He of
action taken on the temperance question
must not be construed as the endorsement
of any political party. This was unani-
mously adopted.

KEEP THEM APART

From the Toledo Commercial
1t would be dangerous, if not suicidal,
for the Republican party to nominate any
man for Governor who is suspected of be-
ing a candidate for United States Senator.
1t would be equally injudiciouS to nomi-
nate any man who is known to favor any
particular aspirant for the SenatOrship.
The GOvernOrship and the SenatorShip
must be kept apart. They will not work
together. This is a point which Repub-
licans can not safely overlook nor ignore.
1t is vital.

THE WEST VIRGINIA STEAL.


From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The nature of Governor GOff'S contest
for the office to which he was elected
makes slow work necessary, but it is
Straining point to say that no decision
could be reached before the expiration of
two months. In many of the precincts
there are no allegations of fraud on either
side. Why waste time, then, in even d
superficial examination of any one of
these? The desperation of the Demo
Gratis is shown in their attempts to throw
out the votes of whole precincts on pure
ly technical grounds, as in the Quinimont
case, where the man who administered
the oath to the commissioners signed his
name without stating whether he was
Justice, Notary, or Judge. \ more bare
faced steal was never attempted any
where.

THE history of the origin of the OBJ
servance of Decoration Day was told in
the fewest and tittest words by Chaun-

delivered on that day, in 1879, when he
said:
When the war was over, in the South,
where, under warmer skies and with
more poetic temperament, symbols and
emblems are better understood than in
the practical North, the widows, moth
ers and children of the Confederate
dead went out and strewed their graves
with flowers, and at many placee the
women scattered them impartially also
over the unknown and unmarked rest
ing places of the Union soldiers. As
the news of this touching tribute flash
ed over the North, it reused, as nothing
else could have done, national amity
and love and allayed sectional animosi-
ty and passion. 1t thrilled every house
hold where there was vacant chair by
the fireside and an aching void in the
heart for lost hero whose remains had

afresh, and in mingled tempest of
grief and joy the family cried, "Maybe
it was our darling" Thus out of sOr-
rows common alike to the North and
South came this beautiful custom. But
Decoration Day no longer belongs to
those who mourn. 1t is the common
privilege of us all, and will be celebra-
ted as long as gratitude exists and flow
