''As advance in years." said he, Il find
that the raw weather is affecting me more
and more unfavorably."
General Meem is an ardent Democrat,
and he has taken an active interest in the
politics of Virginia. In speaking of the
present attitude of his party in that state
he said: The great mass of the Demo-
Gratis are unalterably for Cleveland. They
believe in the man and they believe in
tariff reform. Senator Daniel and some
others of the political leaders are against
Cleveland. but feel certain that the mass
of the party will in spite of them express
strong desire for the nomination of
Cleveland. Were Hill to be the nominee
the Virginia Democrats would be very
sick at heart, and / think they could not
even be whipped to his support. They
can never be persuaded that Hill did not
sell Cleveland out in 1888, and according
to my mind there is no reasonable doubt
that such a sale was made"

Has Come Here to Stay.

Judge G. F. Little, late of Parsons, Kan,
has arrived in Seattle for the purpose of
making his home here. He was for many
years prominent member of the bar in
Indiana and Kansas, and was on the
bench in the latter state. He also ranks
high in the Grand Army of the Republic,
now holding commission as judge advo-
cate general for the department of
Kansas. He has also been very active
in politics, having been an active worker
for Republican success through many hot
campaigns, both in Indiana and Kansas.
Mrs. Little's ill-health is what has caused
Judge Little to leave a well established
practice, and he is now glad that he turned
his steps in this direction. He will open
an Office of the Kansas Mutual Life Asso-
citation, strong company having head
quarters in Topeka, in this city, and will
be the manager of the company in the
Northwest.

champion of England. seems likely to be

give Johnston $3.50 for expenses. O'Rourke
accepted, and the articles were drawn up.

A SOUTHERN DEMOCRAT.
General Gilbert $. Meem, of Virginia,
in the City.

General and Mrs. Gilbert S. Meem, of
Mount Jackson, Va, is at the Northern
hotel. General Meem has for years been
prominent in his native state. While yet
o young man he was elected a member of
the state legislature, in both branches of
which he has since seen service. The leg
is!ature chose him general of one of the
brigades of state militia, and when the
war broke out he went with his command
into the Confederate army. During that
conflict he served with Stonewaii Jackson
and General Johnston. His own home,
the beautiful Shenandoah valley. was a
tramping ground for both armies, and the
federal and the Confederate forces alter

fields known as Mems bottoms :"

only forty miles away.

ST. PAUL, April 7.-Governor Mellette,
of South Dakota. has directed the
sherifs of the counties adjoining
the Sisseton reservation lands, to be
opened next week, to summon 100
men each for a posse and take charge OF
the Sisseton reservation when the govern
ment lets go at noon of the 18th. They viii
be backed by the entire state militia and
there are already on hand at Browns
Valley, Mimi, 200 or 800 regular
soldiers to keep order in that
neighborhood. The crowds continue to
gather around the boundaries of
reservation in anticip ation of the rush for
lands. The reported crooked dealings of
land agents has caused indignation. 1t is
generally understood that the government
will issue a general order defeating the
aims of sharpers.

FREDERICK wARDE's PLANS.
He Talks Interestingly About Two New
Classical Plays.

He Talks Interestingly About Two New
Classical Plays.
Frederick Warde, who plays at the Sc
attic opera-house tonight, is probably at
the height of his power. In the last few
years he has grown broad and subtle in his
intellectual conceptions, while his ambi-
ton for American dramatic art has re-
ceived encouragement and support from
the thinking public. In conversation
with representative of the PosT-INTELLI-
GENcER yesterday, he said:
For the highest quality of dramatic art we
must have the actor able and intelligent, the
manager to back and produce and the public to
appreciate and pay. Actors must live aud man
ayers prosper, for the stage is a risky business,
and the production of plays entails a vast ex-
pense which must meet with due and proper
return. You see have lett out a consideration
of the author, for as surely as there is demand
from the public for the higher quality OF plays
that demand will be supplied.
intend henceforth to signalize each year by
the production of something new. Henry Guy
Carleton is working on two new plays for me,
both of which promise exceedingly we'll.
"Memnou," an Egyptian story, is the one nearest
completion. 1t deals with the overthrow of
Memnon's dynasty by the Persians some time
about the year 45o B. C. The other is "Regulus. ="
Carleton, who believe to be the greatest Ameri-
can dramatist. has the peculiar faculty Of
weaving into all his plays, apart from their
heroic quality, a strong current of human SYM
pathy, without which no play can achieve
permanent success.
Mr.. Warde will play in Seattle 1.-THE
Lions Mouth" Damon and Pythias"
and Richard I'LL" His work in all these
sterling plays is so intelligent and con-
scientious, and the people of Seattle SO
seldom have the opportunity of witness
ing such superb performances, that there
can be no doubt but that he will be greeted
by the large audiences which he deserves.

POLITICS IN NEW JERSEY.
Republicans for Blaine and Democrats
for Cleveland.

T. Whitworth. Boston business man.
and Howard MacSherry, of New Bruns-
wick, n. J., who are on pleasure trip to
the Coast, arrived at the Rainier hotel last
night from San Francisco. Mr.. Mac
Sherry is a graduate of Rutgers college
and is one of the best known of the
younger lawyers of New Jersey. For years
he has taken an active interest in Repub-
lican politics in New Jersey, and he has
been clerk of the state senate and district
attorney for New Brunswick.
In speaking of the present political out
look, he said last night: New Jersey is
undeniably Democratic, and to talk about
its being doubtful is nonsense. 1t was
Democratic during the war-the only
Northern state that was-and Grant is the
only Republican president who has carried
it. The Republican party, as a mass, is
strongly tor Blaine, but the delegation,
under the present circumstances, will
probably be for Harrison.
THE Democrats are for Cleveland, but
a number of the leading politicians are
working hard to secure a Hill delegation"
