ADJUSTMENTS.

What an excellent treat 1t is to witness a
performance with such artists as
William Redmond and Mrs. Thomas Barry
at the head of a uniformly strong company.
Their presentation of "Hcrminie," at the
Grand is as fine, interesting and enjoyable an
entertainment as has ever been seen on the
stage of that house. While every member
OF the cast deserves special praise for good
work, there is one, Miss Dollie Kline, who
attracts marked attention. If there can be
found among younger circles Of the profess
ton of being called an ingenue, Omaha
theater goers have not had an
opportunity to admire her. This
lite lady is a perfect combination of beauty,
fer TO her as 'Sunshine," and she fits the
expression very neatly. A novel, original
and pleasing feature of "Hermine" Is the
introduction the first and second
scenes taken from the story, and which add
greatly to the interest of the play.
Because of the fact that last nights audi
ence NJ Boyd's was very small, the actors in
Zig Tag" ''guyed" their parts. the specta-
tors and each other shamefully. They
seemed to forget that any person courageous.
enough to pay good money for seeing such a
bad show is entitled to profound considera-
ton and respectable treatment.
Mat Grau of the Grau opera company, and
Fred A. Hodgson, representing "She, both
of which come to the Boyd next week, are
in the city.
A good sized audience greeted Nine. Fan
ME Bloomfield last night at the Y. M. c. A.
hall. 1t was u discriminating audience and
manifested its approval In no uncertain man
ner. The opening number on the programme
was one of ChoDin's most intricate concertOs,
OPP. 81, comprising three movements,
namely, maestoso, ~larghetto and allegro
yivace. In this selection, as In all the others
on the programme, Nine. Bloomfield dis
played wonderful ability. Her execution
was absolutely faultless; her touch was firm
and strong and at the same delicate and soft.
Her marvellous runs and seemingly impOssi-
BILE trlll drew forth expressions OF surprise
and approval. In the opening number the
artistic was ably assisted by Mr.. Martin
Calm, who presided at the second piano.
The programme comprised twelve numbers,
including every variety of composition. A
paraDhrase on Lucia for the left hand was a
wonderful exhibition of what training and
practice will do for this usually contrary
member. Every number was warmly ap-
plauded, and Nine. Bloomfield was presented
with a large bunch of lovely roses early in
the evening.

THE local democratic household is
rent with wailings and lamentations.
The grief is so intense and widespread
that were 1t not a matter Of public con-
cern w would refrain invading the
privacy of the mourners and dragging
their sorrows t. light. Condolences are
empty, aud resolutions of regret, soaked
in tears, cannot relieve the gloom, nor
stay the hand shifting the faithful.
The men who held their shoulders to
the party chariot in victory and defeat,
in storm and sunshine, until the cuticle
is gone and the bones protrude, were
forgotten when the spoils were won
and coldly refused admission to the
%banquets of the blest. With few nota-
BILE exceptions, the rear guard confis-
Gated the commissaries while the vet
Grams were fighting at the front. Even
their advice and counsel, though cheer
fully received, fell on desert soil, Ian
guished and persisted, while party
noyices, the beardless youths to whom
the primer of democracy is a sealed
book, m~onopolized the ear of the host
and were promptly Amounted. Well
may the vets cry out in the wilderness:
SIS life worth living?" For them there
is no balm Of Gilead to soothe their
wounds, no kindly hand to lift the
crushing burdens. Their condition is
deplOrable, their grief too deep to be
measured in cold type.

SENATOR ALLISON RENoMlNATED

cEN iCIt 6ILLioON W OHiN <dIED.
The republican caucus of both houses
of the Iowa Legislature has formally set
tied the election of a United States SEN
ator by unanimously renominating SEN
ator Allison for a fourth term. The
boasted opposition to him did not de-
velop Ia the caucus, o was there even
ashadow of dissatisfaction expressed at
the result. Nothing 10Y remains but to
formally ratify his nomination by a vote
of the full legislature. This will be
done as soon as the dead lock is broken
and the legislature is permanently Or
ganized. The republicans in the senate
and house are to be congratulated for
their promptness in disposing of the
senatorial question. In the present
status delays might have led TO compli-
cations OF Il serious nature. But the
prompt action of the republican caucus
will efrectually put a stop to ali schemes
of Senator AllIson's enemies to defeat
him, and in all probability hasten the
organization of the lower branch of the
legislature as we'll.
In accepting the nomination rendered
him with much enthusiasm, Senator
Allison spoke feelingly of the long
service he has rendered his state and
OF the responsibilities which attach to
an Office of the magnitude he holds.
The strongest proof that Senator AL
lison has filled the measure of his
Office to the satisfaction OF the great
commonwealth he represents is the
u~nanimity OF sentiment expressed in
favor of his reelection and the de-
cisive action OF the caucus that renom-
mated him for the fourth term.

A JURY LAW.

peals n Old.

The New Law Abandoned anu Re-
peals n Old.
In the absence of Judge GARRISON from the
city. Judges Doane and Wakeley took up the
further investigation OF the new jury law
Thursday afternoon and, as was predicted
by THg BEE, finally issued an order to Dis
trIct Clerk MOores to proceed to summon a
jury for the February term OF court under
the old law. This conclusion of the judges
was based on section 7 of the new law which
limits the numDer Of jurors for each term TO
100, of which thirty-six would be re-
quired for each Two weeks of
the term, making at least 240
Jurors necessary for the February term.
This would almost exhaust the number al
lowed for the year and would loave the
courts without a jury after the first IVY
weeks of the May term. Tit judges accord
ingly decided to declare the Law imperative
in Douglas county and to return to the old
system.
This brings up another interesting point.
The new jury law repeats all Of the old laws
on tue subject 30 that there is now no other
law IN force. What effect an appeal from q
conviction under the jury system ordered by
the judges, remains to De tested ut the
proper time.

WELLS, FARGO & COMPANY's annual
report of precious metals produced in
the states and territories west of the
Missouri river shows a substantial in
crease in 1889, compared with preceding
years. In round numbers the total pro-
duct of the United States was one hun
dred and twenty-six and one-half mil
lion dollars, against n hundred and
twelve and a half millions in 1888. CAL
lfornia heads the list OF gold producers,
with a fraction over nine million dollars,
while Montana ranks second with four
and n half millions. In silver production
Colorado ranks first, with nineteen
millions, with Montana a good second,
its product aggregating sixteen mill
ions. Montana, however, distances
all competitors and stands at the front
of precious metal producing states. The
total value of last years product was
thirty-one millions, seven hundred
thousand dollars; Colorado, twenty
eight millions; Idaho, seventeen mill
ions, and California and Nevada thirteen
and twelve millions respectively. The
growth and development of the country
is clearly shown in the statement that
the product has grown from ffty-two
millions in 1870 to one hundred and
twenty-six and half millions in 1889.

A ELL has been introduced in con-
gress To pay the representatives OF the
late John Ericsson thirteen thousand,
nine hundred and thirty dollars, with
interest, the balance of his claim
against the government. Captain
Ericsson, in 1857, designed the first
American war ship, the Princeton, aud
the first vessel that carried its machin-
cry below the water line. This claim
has been standing against the govern
ment since the war, and the purpose Of
the bill is to pay it and to re ward in
some measure the debt owing to that
patient toiler and ma OF genius.
There is no way OF estimating how
much the nation is indebted TO the
ideas of Ericsson for the advancement
II has made i'm naval construction. II
is an act OF justice, simply, to satisfy
his claim.

The State millers' association held o short
session at the Capital hotel this morning and
adjourned sine die. Among the important
features of the work of the association was
the discussion on the freight rate question.
The millers claim that the railroads are
guilty OF discriminating against them and in
favor Of the mlllers of other states in a num-
Der of ways, and give an instance as follows:
The roads haul the milling products from
Atchison, st. Joseph, Kansas City aud other
places equi-distant to Omaha for 10 cents
per 100, while they charge millers from
Crete, Milford, Bennett, Columbus and other
places OF the same distance 1lH cents. The
executive committee. consisting of Messrs.
+. johnson, r.. 7. Leftwich and A. Jaeggi,
was instructed TO present this discrimination
to the managers of the railway lines, aud II
possible secure an equitable adjustment. II
was also suggested, in case this matter could
not be settled amicably, that the committee
should go before the state board of trans
portation with a complaint and endeavor to
secure their rights in that way. a resolution
was adopted endorsing the action of the Ma.
tional millcrs' association in its efforts to Sc
cure the placing of raw jute and Durlap on
the free list aud u memorial to congress was
ordered prepared, to be sent to the Nebraska
