Mr. Jacob Bumgardner, of the Buena

He represents everything favorable in
that growing place, and that business is
remarkably brisk. A lot sold in that
place last week for $4,000 the highest
price yet paid for a lot in there Mr..
B. also says that the furnace at Buena
Vista will probably go in blast by the
1st of November, and that the mines are
developing far beyond the expectations
of he owners, and far in excess of the
estimate of the mineral experts who ex-
amined and reported on them. The
prospect is fiattering for the future of
the industries of the city and the city
itself.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. Keene appeared last evening in Louif
XII. play adapted from the French Of Del
avique. The scene is laid in France in 1883
The play has little that is either interesting
or pleasing. It is difficult to detect the lit
erary value of the work in any of its parts
and the historian finds interest only in the
development Of the kings character. The
other principals in the play are mere figures
necessary for the setting. The perform
ance was quite up to the standard. In the
character Of the king Mr.. Keene gave an
impressive rendition. Il was the correct
portrayal of an aged and tottering monarch
deep in intrieues and plotting for the fur
therance Of his ends. Mr.. Keene's picture
was not pleasing one because Of his fdel-
ity to art. In voice, appearance and move
ment nothing was neglected. It was appar-
emily an artistic perfection. While the au-
dience would have better enjoyed another
play none regretted witnessing Mr.. Keene's
mastery Interpretation of the character.
The support was very fair. Miss Shan
Her lines are delivered in the same key and
infection. She is graceful and pretty and
doubtless will become an excellent actress.
The other parts were fairly we'll sustained.
The audience was very good considering that
swell social affair on the west side attracted
many society people. Considerable en-
thusiasm was manifested at times. The
manager of the theatre should provide bet
ter music for his patrons than was heard
last evening. It was very bad. This even
ing Mr.. Keene will be seen in Hamlet.

The Boston Restaurant.

The Boston R0staurAnf.
Ever since it was first opened the Boston
restaurant has enjoyed very large pat
ronage. The first day it started with about
200 patrons and increased from day to DAY
until now between 400 and 500 meals are
served daily by tho attentive lady walters.
The excellence of the service and the quality
of the fare has been sufficient advertisement
for this new restaurant to secure steady
increasing patronage. Everything is neat
and clean and the service equally as good
as the Bon Ton. The Boston is growing in
popularity daily and kss1. Mellen's well
known reputation as caterer will insure
its first-class order being maintained. II

determination on the part Of the repub
lican party to enforce policy of pro
lection that shall further enrich the
manufacturing states of the east at the
expense of the west, and it does not
coincide with the view taken by other
British financial journals that the in
vestment OF foreign capital in this coun-
try will be checked. 1t says:
There are practically, three parties and
three divisions in the American congress,
especially as regards commercial and fiscal
legislation. Ostensibly, there are only two
parties in congress-republicans and demo-
crsts-but when congress has to deal with
tariff matters, three parties may be said to
appear upon the scene, viz, the north, the
south and the west. The northern states
have long held protectionist views, and the
industrial development of the south has raj
lied that section also to their side. The
west has been thus left without any ally,
and has been unable to prevent the passage
through congress of a protectionist measure
of q most drastic character. While the Nc

ern and southern states. the western states,
which are almost entirely agricultural, will
have to pay the piper. In other words, if a
western American railroad company re-
quires to purchase railroad material. it will
be more than ever at the mercy of northern
and southern rolling mills and iron works.
But. whatever the effect of the bill may be
upon the western states, it is none the less
binding upon the whole American Union.
and it's enactment may be urged upon Brit
iah capitalists as another reason why they
should embark portion of their funds in
the now over protected industries Of the
Atlantic states.
Money, the London financial paper,
warns capitalists of that city not to in
vest too much in American manufac-
lures. It predicts that under the I'M
due stimulus of our high tariff manu-
featuring plants will be established be-
You'd the necessities of the country, q
reduction in the wages of operatives
will follow competition, and the United
States, few years hence, will reverse
it's tariff policy and legislate more in the
interest of the consumer and less for
