as the amount stipulated foi the site is
TO be limited to 10000 some prefe rences
may have to be sacrificed. The prevail.

Warren lots on Second avenus and E,ph>

most desired. but it lie OF obable that
these lots will he SO exorbitsnt
in price that it will be impossible
to get them. The Lynde property on
Sixteenth street and Third av eHue and the
lots on Nineteenth street aud Third ave.
nue. owned hy Mr.. w. B. Ferguson are
also considered very desirab locations.
There are many of our people though
who think the building should go back as
Tar as Fourth avenue, and tbs old TAYLOR
house on Fourth avenue and Sixteenth
street owned by W. G. Mau ,ker, is sup.
gested as just the place. The idea of
those who favor a location of Second
avenue is that it may tend % distribute
and scatter business more ovsr the prom

The Csenesceaa case
To describe Jim. the Penmsn,- which
is the attraction at Harper's theatre this
evening in detail. would be merely q re-
petition OF repetitiona. EVERYBODY
knows this great play. written by Sir
Charles Young. and everybody knows IL
favorably. 1t is one OF those things
which people who pretend to be in the
swim would not care to say they had not
seen Just as there are certain books which
one feels 1t almost compulsory to read.
And 1t sjusily famous. or all the sue
cessful dramatic ventures of the past few
years. none have more claims to commen-
dation. In the future, when Il is seep
no more. it win undoubtedly be cistinc,-
iy remembered-it will be in a sense his.
toric. because IL has strong elements of
originality; and it has exercised marked
elevating influence upon conter pora-
neous dramatic literature. As Q picture
! OF modern society life. it is faithful: its
termination seems proper. without beng
over-strained. and. although the fpal
scene is in itself and there 1, abundance
OF ground for hoping that there is much
happiness in store for the good people OF
the company. A discreet and appro-
pirate vein OF comedy ops out nov and
then, and relieves the more serious ter.
depcy OF the plot. Mr.. A. n. Palmer.
under whose management the play Is
presented. announces this a. positively
ito last tour. and be truthfully terms the
cast the best that has yet been seen In il
outside Of New York. Charles Riegel

perfection. Az " Jim. the Penmsn.p In

THE FOOL-KILLER NEEDED
IN KANSAS.

Mr., Waller, a prominent Color
ed politician of Kansas, was a
candidate fer Auditor at the re-
cent State convention and would
have been nominated for that
Office, but for the crlminally in
iudicious action of his friends.
Having rendered his party vaIus-
bic service in every great emer-
gency he has a record of which he
should be proud. To secure the
nomination for Auditor, it was
only necessary to apply the meth
DDS ordinarily utilized on such
occasions. But his friends decreed
otherwise. They called q strictly
race convention and with a great
flourish of trumphets nominated
him for the aforesaid Office aud
accompanied the nomination with
the significant declaration that
"the republican State convention
to meet shortly thereafter "musI
either satisfy this action or take
the consequences" 1t would
seem that the State convention
accepted the gusge of battle
thrown down by these peseudC
statesmen and took "the conse'
querces;" for they nominated an
other man. Mr.. Waller cal
charge his defeat not to any wan
of popularity on his own part
but to the overwrought zeal ant
superlatlve folly of his friends IL
placing him in seeming antago-
nism to his party. We trust tina
this will be warning which vii
not 90 uuheeded. Kansas has
republican voting majority o
10000 and at the same time sh
has but 5000 eolored voters with
in her borders. Where, 0 wher

ed. He has appointed more color.
ed letter carriers than any other
postmaster in this country. Mr..
Ross Is a democrat, but, he is a
man of principle and honor and
knows no man by his color. He
has sound judgement and if a
man is competent he will promote
him. l congratulate the President
on this appointment as being the
very best that could have been
made. Mr.. Ross will assume the
duties of his new office with the
Endorsement of the entire commun-
ity, irrespective of party, color or
condition.
Lawyer E. Nj. Hewlett will now
assume the duties OF justice of the
peace. Mr.. Hewlett has the en-
couragement Of the young men in
this city, and know that he will

Ii is strange that when a man is
helped in what he gets tor q lively
hood, he afterwards attempts TO
deny his benefactor. No man can
succeed who does a wrong to his
fellow man. Friend Carson is now
the victim of abuse from those
whom he aided. l have nothing to
