Harris' Theuter.

"Guilty Without Crime is well-adapted
stage version of Miss Braddon's aurora
Floyd" probably the best known and most
popular of that prolific authors works. The
story Is sufficiently well followed to be Of in
terest to those who have read the novel, and
the characters in some instancesare even bet
ter drawn. To be sure, Isaac PhinSky. as de-
picted by Charles NJ. Hayne, is too STACEY and
overdrawn; but Stella Douglass, at the hands
of Miss Ramie Austen, is excellently done. BY
the way, Miss Austen has improved greatly in
her acting since her appearance here in "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" last season, as well as
in her looks. She is now a truly beautiful
woman, as well as a painstaking actress. In
form and feature she has few rivals to fear.
Dore Davidson's Tom RaDson is piece of ex-
cellent work. Mr.. Davidson's fingers became
educated in the histrionIc way as DR.. JekyH,
SO that they almost speak, and his attention to
details is so conscientious as to provoke admi-
ration. Miss Maud Peters is pretty, despite
her little Lisp. The theater was packed to the
doors at both performances yesterday, and this
will doubtless be the story Of the present en-
gagement to the end on Saturday night.

The Bjiou Thenter.

IAN Irish Arab" which was produced at the
Bijou Theater last night before fairly large
audience, may be best described as farce
comedy melodrama. 1t is vehicle in which
MIR. Bobby Gaylor can ride to glory. "The Vet
eran' by Lester Wallack. is the basis of IAN
Irish Arab" butlittle more than the outline of
the plot has been retained. There are great
chances for scenic display in the piece, and
these have been taken advantage of fully. The
scenery painted by Harley Merry is extensive
and of remarkably good quality. In the role of
the I,ish Ardb Mr.. Bobby Gaylor caught the
house from first to last, and although the fun
at times degenerates into Stiffness, there Is no
denying that there is lots of food for laughter
in the play. The costumes are very
bright. and the groupings show ex-
cellent stage management. The company
is good one, Miss Jessie Story, Clarence
Handysde and Marie Rene being especially
clever. The Lamartine brothers gave won
derful tumbling performance in act ~. Three
more graceful and accomplished acrobats have
never been seen here. The audience expressed
its approval of the performance in unmistaka-
BILE fashion, calling Bobby Gaylor twice before
the curtain.

PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. SEPT. %, 1890.
AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT.

An extraordinary scene was enacted in
Pittsburg's streets last night. The parade
of the German Catholic Societies was re-
markable enough in its way. They made a
showing of which they may well be proud.
The speeches of their leaders were excellent,
and the American patriotism which appears
In them is very welcomesign. Buteven more
remarkable than the festival and its cele-
bration were the mighty crowds which filled
the city streets. All the principal down.
town avenues were packed with spectators,
so that even the usually omnipotent cable
car was paralyzed, and the red fire blazed
upon mile after mile of upturned faces. 1t
was a startling revelation of Plttsburg's
power TO pour out her populace. The Ex-
position and the many theaters all drew
their thousands and still enough remained
to densely crowd the lower part of the city.
The sight was a surprise, and very i'm
pressiye one.

THE ALLIANCES PROPER FIELD.

The announcement of the National
Farmers Alliance arrangements with a
European syndicate to advance $50 per bale
on cotton warehouse receipts up to million
bales proves what The DISPATCH has said
about the Alliance sub-Treasury scheme
that If agricultural products can be ware
housed so as to afford good security, private
capital will loan upon them. and it is not
the business of the Government to do So In
this case the security of cotton ware
housed and insured is unquestionable
With the millions of European capital seek
ing investment. the employment of a por-
tion of it in aiding producers to carry their
crops is legitimate and probable.
AS to the reports that this will be a
means of cornering the cotton crop for the
benefit Of producers, moments considera-
tion will show that such an idea is utterly
baseless. The arrangement contem-
plates that money will be advanced
to thousands of cotton growers, any
one of whom can, when he thinks
the market high enough, sell his cotton and
redeem the loan. Beyond that it is to be
noted that the reported arrangement con-
templates loan on but about a sixth of the
total crop. If the report is correct it may
cause something of an appreciation in cot
ton; but that will only be because it relieves
the necessities of that element among plant
ers who have heretofore been forced to sell
cotton for whatever it would bring, as soon
as it could be got to market. Anything like
the concentration which would enable the
cotton crop to be withheld from market,
after it has reached the price indicated by
natural condition of supply and demand,

were several other acts about which nothing
need be said. but the gross indecency Of pair
of performers named May Miller and Frank

If the enterprise is to be anything more
than fzzle. q very different class of work
will be required for the nexttwo years. The
whole country is interested in the success Of
the Fair; but to give reasonable hope Chicago
and the commission must show determine
tion to recognize no other consideration in
the work than to secure its unqualified
success.
That should have been the spirit from the
first. If selfish and local interests had not
been involved in the site questions, it could
have been settled in May instead of Sep
tember. The work might then have been
in progress by this time.

THE HOPE OF THE TwENTY-FIFTH.


1t is sign of healthy rewakening OF
old-time Republican sentiment in the Law
renee, Mercer, Beaver and Butler Congress
sional district to hear the name of Thomas
w. Phillips proposed for the Harmony
convention to-day.
1t is unnecessary to 60 over the incidents
Of confessed bribery which vitiated so
absolutely the previous attempt at Re-
publican nomination in that district A
CANVASS mixed up with criminal prosecu-
tion for corrupt methods is not encouraging.
On the other hand, should Mr.. Phillips
accept the place on the ticket there would
be the assurance of capable man in Con-
gress, nominated solely for his personal
strength and merits. Phillips is sturdy
Republican of the Garfield school. He is
one of the type who "carry their sovereignty
under their own hats" being an appanage
of neither clique, corporation nor political
managers.
The Democrats also meet to-day at New
Castle to put up their man. Should Mr..
Phillips be the Harmony nominee, it is diff
fcult to see what the Democrats will gain
by ticket of their own, as they are in 1000
of minority. 1t should rather be their
policy to support the Republican who
stands on the anti-bribery platform, and
who would make one of the most influential
Congressman ever sent from the district.

A REMINIscENcE oE 1850.

A clan who died In Harrisburg, Pa, the

General Jackman had built the greater part of
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, and had
made fortune among the big ones of that day.
He was tiptop fellow, and being a true gen.
tleman, nobody enjoyed little game of draw
more than he did. The morning after the rati-
fication meeting over the nomination of Lin
coin was at the Briggs House, where all the
Pennsylvania delegates stopped and who
should come along but General Jackman.
