The people of Augusta, and sister cities
of the kennebee, who crowded the opera
heuse last evening. to attend the Nordica
Concert will always entertain a pleasant re-
membrsnce of the entertainment they en-
joyed. Madame Nordica was suffering
from severe hoarseness, and had she eou-
suited her personal comfort and welfare
would have refrained from taking her part
in the programme. She WAS unwilling,
howeyer,to disappoint her audience and not
only sang every number assigned to her.
but generously responded to the hearty en-
cores of hek appreeiative hearers. The
concert was q musical treat such As is rarely
enjoyed in a section of the country so re-
mote from the great metropolitan centers.
Madame Nordica is fortunate in the MEM
bcrs of her company all of whom are artists.
The audience that filed every seat in the
Opera house last evening was the largest
since its dedication; but not as large as
would manage to find room there should
the Nordica Company visit this city again.

makes no account of degrees: it goes for
the destruction Of q system. On the other
hand, the Republican party, adhering to
the Constitution, and to the policy that
has been pursued ever since the Con-
stitution was made, seeks to preserve
the principle Of protection. and it
does not seek to determine what sspossibil-
tiles Of competition can be provided for,
80 that consumers may not b. unfairly
treated" We want no competition between
our own manufacturers and foreigners, in
our own market, IN respect to the same arti-
cles. We can furnish our consumers with
as good articles as can be brought from
foreign countries: or. if there are some
articles produced in foreign countries that
are Of . superior grade to those made here,
let our consumers who want such Injuries
pay an enhanced price for them. This has
always been our policy. and it always must
be. il We mean to maintain our indepem-
.ience. and to keep the control Of our own
inluktries in our own hands.
