To-Night's Play.


An arabian Night was presented last
night at Ming's to a highly appreclative
audience, but one much smaller than the
excellence of the performance was entitled
to. The play is all hat has been claimed
for it, and is fully equal to any of DAYS.
comedies in cleverness OF plot. brightness
of dialogue and smoothness of action. 1t
is so tull of funny situations as to keep
the audience constantly laughing, and this
effected without resort to horse play or
acrobatic surprises in which the stage
%machinist is called upon to assist. One
feels, IN laughing at the troubles of Mr..
Sprinkle, that he is only a little more
amused than he would be on reading the
same thing in a book. 1t is the intellect
and not the sense of sight or sound which
is appealed to.

The vestry of Trinity Episcopal church,
of P%ittsburg, Pa, has agreed to pay the
rector of the parish, the Rev. Samuel
Maxwell, s., 900 if he will resign on June
|, and the offer has been accepted. This
is probably the first instance on record
where a congregation has paid its rector
to resign and 20 elsewhere. Under the
n of the Episcopal church a rector
cannot be discharged by a congregation,
and n only be removed against his will
from ministering over it after being tried
and found guilty of conduct u~nbecoming
a minister. Mr.. Maxwell had the legal
right of holding his position for life un-
der this canon.-St. Louis Globe Demo

With the Cry of Protection.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Ansellmo Nor

day. The Pau-American congress" he
said, will not do this country n bit
of good. We are more than satisfied that
the United States does not want the trade
of the Spanish countries. Some of the
merchants are in sympathy with US, but
they are powerless. Your government
does not want to trade with us If we
had known that eight months ago the
invitation to look over your industries
would never have been accepted. Today
the United States stands with a massive
stone wall around it. We sec no place

protection has heartily disguised all of

only too glad to get home and begin the
work of lettering our trade relations with

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The house
went into a committee of the whole on the
legislative appropriation bill.
When the clause appropriating salaries
for the civil service commission was reach
ed Cummings of New York made the
point of order that it was not properly in
bill as the commission was neither legisla
tive, executive nor judicial. After some
debate the point of order was overruled,
A motion by Dorsey, of Nebraska, to
reduce the number of commissioners from
three to one was overruled, as was also
one by Perkins, OF Kansas. exempting ex-
soldiers from the provisi ms of the evil
service law.
HUuk, OF Tennessee, moved to strike
out the entire clause. He desired the
government run on business principles
and desired to see merit recognized, but
he did not believe IN this fifth wheel to
the wagon. Furthermore. the commits
sion was under Indictment and no appro-
p~riation should be made until the com
mittee delegated to make an investigation
made its report.
Biggs of California denounced the civil
service law. 1t was, he said, conceived
in sin and brought forth in iniauity,
Pendleton was lis 'a'her, George William
Curtis its granny, aud Dorman B. Eaton

Lehlback of New York, McComas of
Maryland and Cutcheon of Michigan op-
posed Houk's motion.
Cheadle of Indiana opposed the whole
theory of civil service reform.
Grosvcnor of Ohio was opposed to the
construction and operation of the present
law. while he E vured reform.
hopkins OF Illinois said douk was out

as expressed in its platform.
Dunnell OF Minnesota said that under
the civil service law an intelligent man
did not enter the service. 1t was the
dudes that were going in under the pres
ept system.
Hill of Illinois characterized the mo-
ton as an effort to do by indirection what
neither great political party had the de-
sire or courage to do openly.
Henderson of Iowa said civil service re-
form had come to stay and the political
party that deserted it would not stay in
power and ought not 1t is not true that
this administration had not enforced the
law. President Harrison is enforcing it
and that's what's the matter with the
boys.
Mckinley of Ohio earnestly opposed
the motion to strike out. If the Repub-
lican party was pledged to one single
thing more than another it was the main
tenance of CIVIL service law. It was not
only according to the tenets OF the Re
publican party but according to the best
sentiment of the Republican party
throughout the United States. 1t was
sustained by the sentiment of this coun-
try, Republicans and Democrats alike.

Butterworth in1orsed every word his
colleague had said. Nothing smacked OF
monarchial forms as much as the spoils

to 100. and pending further action the
committee rose and the house adjourned.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 24.-It is
learned from a reliable source that Gov
