OFFICIAL,
10 the State Crop Statsicians Of The National
Farmers Alliance ana Industrial unions
DEAR BROTnERsrIn transmitting blank
forms for your May reports as to
acreage Of farm products, / feel that |
can not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
spectators and stock exchanges have 30
manipulated the reports Of both Federal
and State agricultural statlstlcians as to
make them false, and instruments sub
scryient 10 their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled TO sell and realize
immense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity BY such undue
advantages, mllionaires have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed OF
their just prices, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 30
heavily mortgaged M 10 soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
are fast becoming appropriated by the
operations Of spectators, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, the next gen.
Grafton Of farmers will be a generation Of
tenants. at.will.
Under such serious and impending
conditions IL Is evident that In full de-
velopment of our strength and fearless
enforcement OF those true and patriotic
principles found In the announced teach
ings and cherished doctrines Of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
lies the prosperity and financial safety OF
the productive classes OF our common
country, who have so long borne the OPP
presssons Of reckless spectators, soulless
corporations, and unjust legislation.
We can hope TO reach our desired and
wholesome results only through the vital
and harmonious efforts OF every member
of our brotherhood In all Of its depart
ments.
To efficiently utilize the full force aud
effect of our unity, II Is essential shat
every member be thoroughly enlightened
with accurate knowledge Of the erteRt and
amount of0w lcading JaTm pr0dacts, such
as cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat, ETC., as
well as TO have a clear conception OF our
natural and legal rights under the spirit
aud language Of the organic law OF our
Government, and TO obtain such Informa-
tion Ms to farming statistics in reliable
form we must depend upon such re-
sources as are within our organization.
The Supreme Council at the st. Louis
meeting entertaining such views, enacted
sections n and 19 OF the statutory laws,
hereto appended, making II a part Of my
duty as Secretary Of the National EXecu-
tive Board TO make such crop reports TO
the President as he may require, and In
pursuance Of the duties thus imposed, !
have recently prepared aud issued cir
cular letter setting forth In general terms
the character Of the reports expected from
State statisticians, and now, in further
discharge Of my dulles, have prepared
such blank forms as are deemed necessa-
ry for the reports Of state, county and
sub-union statistiCians.

The coming of Miss Jane Coombs who ap-
peared last week at Albaugh's, was heralded by
notices of the most brilliant type, and yet for
enthusiasm among the few who turned out to
witness her performances. Was it due to any
deficiency on her part to the general con-
servatism of the Washington theatre-going pub
lie? Perhaps in part to both The production
of her plays are hardly on terms with their
highly emotional demands, and while it can be
seen that her conception of the character she
assumes is approachably correct, her declama-
tion Is so much at fault that the nicetes of the
climaXes-so fatally important in the drama
are lost in monotonously studied effects In
other words the artistic is lacking. Miss
Coombs is a woman of rather commanding ap-
pearance and discreet age whose principal mis-
fortune is that she is starring in generation
which has outgrown a certain portion of the old
school of acting. Not that she is really bad, for
there are some worse, but her place is that of
leading heavy actress with some star of present
magnitude Her style is more robust than
finished, and would better please audience
of less critical tastes than is found in Washing
ton. Her supporting company is generally
weak, excepting, perhaps, Mr. II. j. Hirshberg,
the comedy man. Mr.. j. Leslie Gossin, who
does the leads, is most stunwarrantably bolsterous
in his personations, and for this reason ruins
many excellent opportunities Of scoring hits.
His Interpretation of the role of Tulkinghorn in
"Bleak House, is eXecrable, and must cause the
spirit of the Immortal Dickens to yearn for
suit for libel. In fact, it would not be a bad
idea for Others of the cast to study their charac-
ters as painted by the author of "Bleak House"
if they wish to make the production little better
than solemn burlesque. Better results were
shown in "Camle'' and 'sOur Dressmaker,"
but nothing demanding unqualified commenda-

n. S. Wood at the Biiou.
Nicholas S. Wood, whose front name will have
an unfamiliar sound to the average play-goer
will be the star at Harris's Biiou Theatre next
week. No actor in its whole season can draw
larger receipts in that house, no star in its list
can usually be counted on to produce the same
enthusiasm. Wood is big favorite among the
lovers of sensational drama This will be his
first appearance in Washington in two years
and he comes this time equipped with new
play, "Out in the Streets,' which is presented
with elaborate scenery, representing prominent
New York localities. The company in support
is said to be an excellent one In the cast are
Harry Dalton, c. f. Herbert, Frank Wallace

Lily Eddinger, remarkably bright child.

Poor Lillian Grubb, the wife of David Hayman
manager of the shenandoah" Company, died in
Baltimore Sunday last at the age of twenty-five.
The deceased actress was well known among
professionals. She played Gidnneta in '"The

success in the part. She was a sweet and pretty
woman and clever actress and singer. Her
stage career commenced eight years ago, when
she appeared in "Olivette" at Ford's Opera
House. Afterward she toured for some time
under Mr. Ford's management.
