Theatrfcals,

The City Directory opens at the Grand
xtThursday. This organization needs
no commendation as body, and GER
tainly the individuals of the company
have each well-won reputation. Their
names are: Willis r. Sweatnam, Luke

rion Weller. @6&
The New York Herald has the follow
ing to say about the company:
The City Directory is such pleasant
confusion of pure rollicking fun, satiri-
cal raillery and melody that many of
the audience seem to leave the theater
in such a tumble of delight that they
are compelled to repeat their visit in
order to more thoroughly appreciate the
performance. There is every indication
that the piece could be continued with
profit the entire season at the Biiou,
but taking it off in the heighth of its
success will insure it another 15O night
run in this city.
"The company which has contributed
to this prolonged success has been unan-
imously conceded to be the best farcial
organization thus far put forth. The
press has so agreed, and the public so
substantiated. both by attendance and
by lavish, well-merited applause.
"They are all farceurs of the highest
order, save one-Miss Amelia Glover
who only dances-only All the skirt
dancers ever seen are out of the reckon
ing for grace, voluptuousness and bewil-
dering motion compared with her, and
every dude of the Bijou brand who saw
her will rave about her until her re-
appearance"

is THE WHEAT INJURED?
Reports of Damage to the Crop in
Central Kansas.

Grain dealers in Kansas City re-
ceived good many reports Of damage
yesterday. Hessian flies and chinch
bugs are reported to be working in the
following counties: Dickinson, Brown,
Ottawa. Cloud, Marion, Pratt, Rice,
Ellsworth, Barton, Reno and Sedgwick.
Probably very little damage has been
done yet. Some localities, however,
report entire fields almost destroyed.
The wheat plant is so rank in growth
however, that there is perhaps an even
chance of the wheat growing faster
than the flies can last. Nevertheless
grain men here and in Kansas and far
mers are feeling anxious over the stu
alton.
The above dispatch from Kansas
City is supplemented by a report from
Secretary Mohler that he has received
news that the wheat in Russell county
is dying of mysterious injury. This
report" says Mr.. Mohler, sis the first
we have received reporting any damage
to the wheat crop and should be inves-
tigated at once. 1 do not think it is
the Hessian fly because it is too early
in the season. The correspondent
states it is not the chinch bug" Mr..
Mohler and Chancellor Snow are in
Russell investigating.
The REFLECTOR has interviewed a
number of leading farmers Of Dickin.
son county and is unable to find any
reports of serious damage, either pros
pective or immediate. There haye
been many chinch bugs flying during
the past few days and many are re-
ported in some pieces of wheat but
they seem to have done little or no
damage yet. The wheat on the bottom
lands is rank and green and is growing
rapidly. Some pieces on the uplands
which were pastured closely look
little yellow in spots, but on the whole
it is agreed that from present prospects
the yield will be enormous.
DICKINsoN's WHEAT ALL RIGHT.
j. ). Holllnger, the extensive wheat
raiser of Rhinehsrt, was in the city,
He has just been through Marion and
other more southern Kansas counties
and says that there is no disputing the
fact that the wheat in many sections
of the state is seriously damaged. In
Pratt county half the fields will be
plowed up. In Dickinson county,
however, he thinks there has never
been as good an outlook for a large
crop. Only the early sown or badly
put in fields are injured and those not
extensively. Mr.. HOllinger has 5000
bushels of wheat on hand which he is
considering offers for. He was offered
81 bushel today but refused it.

If the Tariff is a Tax.

If the democratic theory that the
"tariff is a tax" is correct, why is
not the price of goods upon which
duties are levied increased in value
to the full extent of the tariff?
If the tariff is a tax, why is it that
plate glass, with a duty of about 50
per cent, can be bought for nearly
one-third less now than in 1860?
If the tariff is tax, why is it that
salt is selling at IS cents barrel at

If the tariff is a tax, why are steel
rails selling at from S20.5O TO S32
per ton, with tariff duty of S17 per
ton, when they cost from $40 to S160

If the tariff is a tax, why is it that
more pottery can be bought now for
S2.50,with duty of 80 per cent, than
could formerly be bought with 81?
If the tariff is tax, why is it that
nails and pig iron are nearly one-half
cheaper now than before a tariff was

If the tariff is a tax, why is that

The Expense of War.

While it is undoubtedly true that
war is on the decrease, yet the eX-
pense in life and money in martial
conflict during the last thirty years is
as startling as it is lamentable. Re-
cent statistics show that there have
perished in the wars of the last thirty
years no less than 100000 men,
while the amount expended to carry
on these sanguiuary struggles reach
es the almost incredible sum of S13,-
600, 100000. France paid a very
large proportion of this amount in
her war with Prussia, or to put it in
figures, $3,500,000. Her loss of men
in the same war was 155, 900. OF
these $4,000 were killed on the field
of battle, 5000 died of sickness, ac-
cidents, or suicide. and 10000 in
German prisons, while there died
from other causes enough to bring
the number up to the aggregate men
toned. On the German side the loss
of men was 10000, and the cost in
money about 5000, 100000, this be-
ing the excess of expenditure, or of
material losses, above the 81, 1,25O,-
000,O paid by France as indemnity.
A famous German statistician, Dr.
Engel, calculates the following as
the approximate cost of the princi-
pal wars of the last thirty years:
Grim can war, $4,000, 100000; Ital-
ian war of 1859, $500, 100000; Prus-
so-Danish war of 1864, $50, 100000;
war of the rebellion (North) s., ,100,-
900, 900, (South) $2,3OO, 900, 700;
Prusso-Austrian war of 1866, $780,
1000; Russ-Turklsh war, S125,-
1000; South African wars, $8,-
40, 200; African war, S13, ,250, 900;
Servo-Bulgarian, $4,000, 900.
The Crimean war was the most fa-
tai considering the number of en-
gagements. With only few battles
the loss of life was $4,000, which is
only $4,000 less than were killed or
died of wounds, North, or South in
the war of the rebellion.
This calculation of expense does
not include the millions expended
during the last twenty years in main
tanning the vast ornaments. of the
European powers, the losses caused
by the stoppage of commerce and
or the continual dis
turbance of industries by the abstrac-
ton from useful employment of so
many millions of men held for pc
Rod of military service of from three
to five years. 1t may seem like an
Hibernianism to say that war is ex-
pensive in time of peace, but the
statement is not far out of the way.

The New Indian Policy.

Secretary of the Interior Noble pro-

and compelling them to work for
their bread. The making of depend
ent national wards of them having
failed, the country will propably in
dorse this as a proper plan-the more
so as instances of marked success in
this direction are seen in Indian Ter
ritOry and elsewhere. 1t has never been
claimed, and certainly never been
demonstrated, that there is anything
in every day labor beyond either the
physical or mental capacities of the
red man. Generations of wild life
have, OF course, made him naturally
averse to this. He has, too, been
taught to regard himself as the bene-
fciary Of the government, with an in
defeasible right to it for support.

at his command, he must either cause
it to produce bread and meat for his
sustenance or suffer. Whatever plan
