Some Merited Structures.

Theater- Goer," in the Tribune,
condemns very properly the manner
of disposing of the seats for the Juch
engagement at Olympia Theater; but
we apprehend it was more the result
of inexperienco than want of judg-
ment. Mr.. Hanna was not present,
and it is hardly fair to place all the
blame on his shoulders While it is
true he placed no limitation ON the
number of tickets that might be sold
to one person, he did not intend that
this instruction should justify anybody
at the head OF the line of applicants to
take orders from those who appeared
long after the sale had commenced.
This was wrong which we believe Mr..
Hanna would not have sanctioned had
he been here. Nor can we attach
blame to those in charge of the sale,
for the possibility of Il defeat of the
object sought to serve first those who
came first did not occur to them till it
was too late to guard against it.
AS TO the sale OF the seats engaged
by several parties for all the perform
ances that occur in the theater, the
critic is correct. 1t was a rank injus-
tice, and we await with some curiosity
an explanation that will meet the case.
The sale of seats in the aisles was
likewise wrong. Standing room"
should only he sold after all the seats
are disposed of, and it should be stand
ing room only, except in places where
exit may not he materially hindered
by placing chairs.

Miss Clarinda Riley, passenger,
jumped overheard and was drowned
while the vessel was steaming down
the coast of California. The ship was
stopped, a bo:t lowered and search

Her brother-in-law, who accompanied
her on the voyage, stated that she was
a native of Ontario, Canada, aged IS,
and was on her way there to visit her
mother and sister. She has been in
business in Victoria for the past year,

THE Boston Cournnt, urges the Pres
ident to appoint colored man to the
Office of Secretary of the Treasury. b.
r. Bruce, John NJ. Langston, ex-Con-
gresham Lynier, Frederick Douglass,
and James NJ. Townsend are named.
The editorial says: "Was not Benja-
min Harrison elected solely by the
black men? 1t is conceded on all
hands that he was; even President
Harrison himself admits it, In view
of this indisputable fact, cabinet
position is not at all too large gift
for President Harrison to bestow upon
the faithful colored Republicans who
made him the head of the nation"
Truly said; and it now remains to be
seen whether the Republican party
will redeem its pledge of fidelity to the
colored man or give him a stone when
he asks for bread.

carry out the great Bellamy system and
give man, woman and child, an abund-

could never desire or fret; there would
be no quarrelng and all the world would
DE in harmony.
! You said, let us carry the gems up the
lily stem. and make Bellamy's idea a
reality at once. So We went 10 work,
and from the stem We emerged many
times on our beneticcnt mission, and
the next day We rolled out the wealth as
mist and everybody was rich. Ant
when We returned and went down the
lily stem we felt so glad because every
body was happy and contented.
Soon, however, we heard a great nois,

they were swimming around in sea o

The editors were the only people ad

like the leaves of Autumn before thu

You and l looked on ut the strang'
sight for some time, until the deliriun
of JOY had passed, which was succeeded
by calm that finally resulted in sleeI
like death. Only the editors were alive
and they had paused, with pencils
poised, for want of something more t

You and came out of the lily and be

1T is almost universally conceded
that the two best speeches male the

been that of Representative Goldman
in nominating Thomas Carroll for U.

in support of a resolution for speedy
selection of the State lands appropri-
ated by the enabling act. In the last
assembly the best work of the session
was done by the very small ",Demo-

the laurels that have been accorded.
