ADJUSTMENTS.

a finely balanced company of thoroughly
competent actors; a group of handsome,
graceful and well. dressed women; scenery
that challenges the artistic eye and wins
instant applause on the going up of the
curtain; an attention to detail in the setting
of the stage that makes the mimic scene
the closest possible approach to reality;
text that is clean, witty and in good English,
and that frames charmingly involved
plot, are dramatic components that ought
to satisfy the most exacting audience. All
these virtues "a Possible Case" has, pre-
scented at the Metropolitan Theater last
night No play has been better staged
here, and it is rare that better, or as good
cast for any comedy drama has been
made. The piece involves the fluctuations
of people who marry under the supposition
that by State laws they are freed from
prior matrimonial bonds. As a satire upon
the conflicting statutes of the States and
Territories. 1t is bright, incisive and just.
While there is in it recitation of some good
law, there is great deal of misinterpre-
tation of Codes. In fact, bad Law elbows
sound legal propositions throughout the
drama. The playwright also makes one of
the best of the characters appear ignorant
by speaking of a Territory SIS a State
There is, with all the rapidity Of action and
wit of text in the piece, some dragging.
But the all-around excellence of the per-
tormapce atones Tor these errors perhaps.
Certainly it is an enjoyable comedy, and
certainly it is admirably played. To name
one SIS better than another, so even is the
balance of the company, savors of injus-
tice; still, Mr.. Archer's Spaniard must
be accorded the credit of supe-
rior excellence. 1t is dialect char
acterization of the best order. Not
less excellent is the Juvenile personation
by Belle Archer, though much less diff
cult task. NJ. A. Kennedy, who was q
complete realization of the authors idea of
"Brinkerhoff," was called upon to acknowl-
edge a generous welcome when he ap
peared, for he is very kindly remembered
here. 1t is worthy of note that the beauti-
full "interior" set in the second act was bet
ter shown here than in San Francisco, the
stage of the Bush street Theater prevent
ing the placing of the transparent frescoed
ceiling, and which is triumph of scenic
art. "a Possible Case" will be repeated
this evening, as it pleased so well last
night large and intelligent audience, with
its wit aud is ludicrous situations, and
kept the people in such merry humor,
and, despite the undue frightening of the
story, achieved such pronounced success,
it is safe to anticipate for it this evening
full house, which is its just desert.

REFERRING to the settlement of the
Samoan question, our esteemed contempt
rary, the San Francisco 4ka, says that the
new treaty appears to grant all that the
Germans demanded. This statement is
accompanied by sheer at those who OBJ
jeoted to the "fold your hands policy" of
Mr. Bayard. Now, the Alias statement is
worse than dogmatic-it lacks the essen
tial element of truth Let it, if it can,
point out q single feature in the treaty
that denies any position taken by the
people Of the United States. The truth is
that everything this Government, through
Its Commission, claimed, is conceded in
the treaty We pointed out the other day
what these things are aud called attention
TO the fact that the only new feature is
one concerning the establishment OF the
Supreme Court and the jurisdiction given
it. But In that there is nothing inimical
to the interests of the United States, nor
anything especially favorable to Ger
many. The triumph OF the United States
in the matter is found in three clauses of
the treaty-the establishment, with such
foreign interference as is necessary, of
Samoan independence; the restoration OF
Malietoa, his recognition as King and the
retiracy OF the claims of Tamasese; the
admission that notwithstanding the greater
commerce and greater trade interests of
Germany in Samoa, the United States IS
recognized on equality there with the
other powers in every respect, whereas
Gernlany's constant contention was that
her greater interests gave her the right to
dominate in the affairs of the islands.
The Alta is very witty and expert in the
matter of short editorial notes, but it will
improve such as that to which we refer by
adhering to historical facts.

The McCutcheon bill in the House of
Representatives, to double the allowance
by the Federal Government for the pro-
motion of the interests of the National
Guard, ought to pass. A nation like ours
that has practically no standing army, and
that needs none, should be solicitous to
sustain well-organized militia. 1t can
only be done by liberal expenditure Citi-
zens will enter the National Guard and
freely give the time essential to the dis
charge of the duties assumed, but the State
allowances for the Guard are not sufficient
to relieve the membership from expense
While the Federal Government is not ex-
pectedto contribute to these expenses, it can
greatly encourage enlistment in the Guard,
and stimulate the spirit of organization by
better arming it, by giving aid to its annua
encampments, by furnishing it camp
equipage and supplies, and in supplying
instructors for battalion exercises, and gen.
orally by manifestation of a solicitous de-
sire, expressed through the officers of the
regular army, for the thorough organiza-
ton and drill of the Guard. The fathers
were wise when they declared that the
safety of the Government depends not upon
its regular troops, but upon a well-disci-
plined and acknowledgement militia.

THE decision of the Supreme Court of
Illinois, in the case of the convicted An
archists, does not go to the question oftheir
guilt, but relates simply only to certain
formality in the procedure of their SEN
tence. There is, therefore, no reason what
ever to anticipate any reversal of the
judgment of conviction. Indeed, there is
nothing before the Appellate Court upon
which it can review the findings.

GUSHl

That settles it-a gushing reporter of
the great metropolis makes the transcon-
tinenial wires burn with the statement
that ''Mr. Cleveland went to church on
Sunday and wore his inevitable and states
manlike froek-coat and dark oYercoat."
We now know, five never did before, that
the frock-coat is statesmanlike, and that
SO, too, is a dark overcoat. Whoever.
therefore, hereafter appears in frock-
coat must be assumed to be in appearance
statesmanlike. He will also realize that
the fcock-coat is inevitable, among other
things. This same reporter who transmits
the astounding intelligence referred to- in
forms an astonished world that "Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland walked to church :" aye,
"walked"-and more than that, "they at
tracted very little attention" The raptur-
Gus youth who indited this bit of gush adds
that Kit was strange thing to see man
who twelve-month ago would have been
followed by curious crowd, walking
calmly and slowly with his wife across
Fifty-seYenth street." We, too, on the
western confines of civilization, are ex-
pected to be amazed that Mr. Cleveland
showed no agitation, for it is not every
man who can cross Fitly-seventh street
'calmly" with his wife. We tremble to
think, however, what might have been,
had Mr.. Cleveland attempted to cross
Fifty eighth street, "calmly and slowly,
with his wife," We are just little in the
fog as to why the reporter considered it so
'strange a thing" that Mr.. Cleveland
should be able to walk to church through
the streets of New York City without be-
ing embarrassed by a crowd at his heels
The suggestion of the strangeness of the
absence of the crowd it must be confessed
does not sound complimentary to the good
manners of Manhattanites. Mr. Cleve-
land has this to ponder upon-that George
Washington went about his business in his
day without the annoyance of crowd
dangling after. Jefferson was man
among men, too, notwithstanding that he
had filed such exalted civic positions as
ne did. But, seriously, this proneness of
the reportorial fraternity to man worship
is nauseating. 1t is worse-it is un-Amer-
lean, and we venture the thou GIT that no
man Will be more disgusted with it
than sensible Mr.. Cleveland, who is cit
izen among citizens, and nothing more.
The publishers of newspapers really ought
to make one supreme effort to secure the
services of native-born reporters who have
been educated to a true appreciation of
the relation of the citizen to the Govern
ment and the people at large.

WHY IS BELL SO SLOW?

Troy Enterprise: In visiting the
Spring Palace last year we could not help
feeling mortified to see such fine exhibits
from other counties which are really be-
hind Bell in wealth and natural re-
sources, and no exhibit of our own to be
seen. It would be shame to show such
a want of enterprise again, and we
earnestly hope that old Bell may have an
exhibit there this year worthy of herself.
Why is Bell county slow about taking &C
ton to get up county exhibit for Texas
Spring Palace? There is not better
county in the state, and surely we could
not be behind our neighbors, who have
done themselves credit and laid the
foundation for an immigration of the
better class. Let US get up a concert Of
action and call a meeting to take such
steps as are necessary at once, so that
we may secure suita BILE space at the
Palace. We would suggest that we meet
at the courthouse in Bolton not later
than the last of next week. Who will be
the first to start the ball in motion9

right of thirty students for the priest

These have always voted in elections,
and it is stated, that the Republicans Of

ignore the custom, even though the Re-

vote elected his Democratic opponent.
