ADJUSTMENTS.

Barlow Brothers minstrels, thirty
strong. will occupy the stage At Powers'
this evening. The company IS new
one to Grand Rapids, but it comes with
the highest endorsements from rcpu-
table papers Of the large cities. 1t is
said 20 be Al exceptionally strong sing
ing show. The principal comedians are
Barlow brothers, and Grand Rapids au-
diences are already familiar with the
marvellous work of the Leon br others,
who are with this company. They will
give . parade nj noon.
Henry +. Abbey Is certainly q great
theatrical plunger. He pays Sarah
Bernhard salary of 81 900 a per-
formance, besides all travelling expenses
of the company. As it requires train
of five cars to transport the organiza-
ton about the country. it can be seen
that the manager must indeed realize q
good round sum before he secures a
profit. The prices charged here are the
same as charged in Chicago and else
where. 1t is fortunate too that we
shall see Sarah III her strongest role,
Flora La Tosca.
The list of talent connected with Bell
Brothers speciality company gives as.
surance that Manager Smith has a
strong show this week, and that means
good business.
All orders for Bernhardt tickets not
claimed vt the box Office at Powers be.
fore O. clock tomorrow will be placed
on sale Wednesday morning.
Commencing today. Manager Geary
will give continuous shows in his thea
ter, beginning Mt 80 III the afternoon
and closing at 1890 p. m.
.'Iiis Nils the Baron" tested the ca
pacity of Redmond's last night. The
comedy will receive consideration in

pEMocRArIC INCONSISTENCIES.

DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCIES.
Those who have followed the course
of the democratic congress even cursor
sly must have been struck by the incon-
sistencies Of their utterances on every
measure of importance or Of interest to
the general public. On no one question
have they been able to present . solid
front, nor have they yet found tena-
bic position in which TO eutrench them
selves. They dare not attack the tariff
law in its entirety nor with any degree
of consistency. No sooner does one
faction declare the tariff to be tar
and its general effect to enhance the
price of necessities to the consumer,
than another faction with equal ve-
lhenlence declares 1t lowers the price of
products to the producer and conse-
quentially lowers 1t to the consumer.
And 90 on the silver question the Bland
faction says its bill is the policy OF the
party, only to be met with Hat denial
by the other faction. In legislation they
are equally inconsistent, as witness the
Miner law. which not only antagonizes
bu, refutes the doctrine OF state SOW
ereignty. doctrine at once the fun
dansntal principle of democracy. In
their cry for reform and economy they
have in their acts and expenditures
shown the most gIaring Inconsistencies,
as witnessed IN sn expenditure Of their

enough be charged TO the Fiftieth con-
gress Of nearly $50. 0oo, 900. The Fifty
first congress also provided for . petl-
non list increased by sic, 200, 900. Are
they then consistent in nothing? Well,
yes, they are consistent in . gripping

WEALTH IS the possession of few.
but intellectual culture IS happily with
in the reach of all in this favored land
of schools and books. Wealth has op-
portunities to surround itself with
treasures of culture and art, but it will
wish to call to the enjoyment of these
possessions those who can appreciate
them. Wealth is q much greater loss
for culture than culture 10 for wealth.
Wealth without culture is q subject for
laughter and derision. Culture with
out wealth, even commands profound
respect. Then let young people seek
first, if they are ambitious, to belong to
good and well-bred society. which is
better than wealth, genuine intel

Lancaster county, it appears, still
stands at the head of all the tobacco
growing counties in the United States,
with her 1927, 800 pounds grown in the
season of 1889. Four other counties
Christian and Henderson, in Kentucky,
Dane, in Wisconsin, and Pittsylvania
county, in Virginia, grow over 10, 900 ,0OO
each. There are seventeen other coun.
ties that grow from 5000, 900 to 10, 0O0,.
900 pounds each. Lancaster county's
product in 1889, as all know, was sold al
exceedingly low prices-about the low
est in our history-and even hen pro
duced the growers $1,349, 900. The
nearest approach to this by any other in
