LIFTS LUCK.

II the Grand opera house was twice as
large as it Is, 1t would not have accommo-
dated the throngs of playgoers who yester-
Gay, IN the afternoon aud evening, crowded
round the box Office in the hope of securing
seats to witness the Ensign the beautiful
naval drama, which is destined to create q
sensation throughout the country. An
old proyerb says Honor to him to whom
honor is DUE" which in the case of Mr.
Lifts daring enterprise may be altered to
Success to him to whom success is DUE"
There are few managers in the country who
would venture i'll the summer 10 go to large
expense for the purpose Of producing, by
the best talent obtainable, new plays. espe-
cially over thousand miles from New York,
the center of the theatrical world
MIR. Lifts proveFbial luck is once more
proved in his latest venture for certainly no
play has been produced in this country dur
Ing many years, which has so much sterling
merit in it as the Ensign" 1t is thoroughly
American in the first place, written by an
American, produced by an American man
ager, and played by American actors. Be
sides the true sentiment which runs through
the play. and which appeals to every heart,
the fact that the martyred presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln, forms a
CCiLidl cudracler III the Production,
causes everyone who witnesses the Ensign
to grasp truer hold of that noble mans
characteristics than all the speeches which
might be made by those of his contempor-
aries who are living. One can understand
more In five minutes of the grandeur of
Niagara by standing upon its verge than all
that travellers might write about it in
volumes
i
change was made last evening in the
play which adds materially to its strength.
The fourth act now ends with the refusal of
the president TO grant a pardon for the Off
Ger under sentence of DEATH and as a result
the interest of the audience is held until the
close of the last act, depicting the prepara-
tions for the execution on board warsbip,
which are only stopped at the last
instant by the arrival of the president
bearing the pardon. The performance
last evening was most perfect, and
seldom does q theater witness such
scenes of enthusiasm took place in the
auditorium. The players were called before
the curtain time and time again, and the
ightest praise which can be bestowed upon
them is that their individual work was with
out flaw, and the presentation as a whole
was artistically perfect.

SENATOR SHERMAN has the plans
prepared for gorgeous mansion at
Washington, but, as they are being ad-
mired by his constituents, it is under
stood that he has found it best to defer
the erection until after the senatorial
election next winter. He does not
boast of his ability to build palace out
of s., 900 salary.

AS AN illustration. woolen mill in
Illinois, that has always been prosper
Gus and greatly enlarged its business
last year, has just notified its employees
that this is the hardest period In its his
tory, and it is forced to reduce produc-
ton and wages. Only four days per
week can be had for any. The owners
state that a recent meeting of the jeans
manufacturers was held &C Louisville,
and all reported the business in bad
way. 1t was understood that the Nc
KINLEY act gave the woolen manufact-
urers all they wanted and protected the
Ohio wool growers to their content.
They are now in the suds with the
manufacturers. The consumers are
paying more for their goods, too.

THERE are few men who hold to the
old protection claim that the foreign
seller'pays the duty, and not the con-
sumner. An Eastern paper illustrates
with the case of Boston importer who
brought 5000 cigars from India for his
own use. He paid for them Sl3.S2, and
$40 more for packing and freight, or
S23.S2 as the cost up to the collision with
the customs officials at Boston. In the
passage from this point to his house the
cost was s365.06, with no unlawful
charges. His 5000 cigars, then, cost
him S3SS.SS. and he does not believe the
seller in India paid the tariff dues.

ODDS AND ENDS.

City Attorney d. w. Lawler stated last
evening that mistaken impression had been
created by the reference to his action re-
garding the issuance of certificates of in
debtedness. The inference was carried that
there had been a difference of opinion be-
tween himself and the comptroller There
had been nothing of the kind, and no aues-
ton of Lawler upsetting Ponthan was in
volved.
''Mr. Ponthan called on me Monday" said
the city attorney, ''and told him that the
Bell charter made it necessary to submit the
question of issuing certificates to pay con-
tractors to the conference committee. Mr.
Ponthan did this, and the committee, in the
regular way, referred the matter to me for an
opinion. held that the certificates could
be issued at once. There was no difference
of opinion"
A feeling of interest has slowly crept over
our own Sam Nichols since he has Withdrawn
from Republican patronage, and emulating
those who accepted the advice of the great
Horace Greey years ago, he has decided to
go West" Oregon is his destination. Out
there, it is SAID, they are comparatively free
from the trepidations that attend inspec-
tions OF all sorts. In fact they never inspect
out there, and hence it is a perfect haven of
rest for those who have become thoroughly
tired of the pains and uncertainties of politi-
cal conditions

Acting Secretary Chandler has reversed the

Office in rejecting list No. 1 Of indemnity
