ADJUSTMENTS.

The presentation of "The Ensign" at
Crawford's Grand opera house Wednesday
night, Oct. 10, will be an event of consld-
cradle Importance in local theatrical Cir
cles. Dealing as 1t does with naval history,
the story will have an interest for many
who were more or less conspicuous figures
in the stirring events of the war. 1t Is not
all serious, however. There is comedy and
plenty of it, and there Is a patriotic fer
vor which when limited to reasonable
bounds is always enjoyable. Much is also
promised in the way OF scenery. Indeed
we are told chat we shall have as true n
picture of Il mano' war as it is possible to
place upon the stage. THE Ensign" Is
not, however, a war play, although 1t
deals with an occurrence of the civil war
which attracted the attention of every
civilized nation in the world-the I'M
authorized capture of the Confederate
commissioners to Europe, Mason and Sill
dell, on the high seas, by Captain Wilkes
Necessarily a play of this kind must be
extensively and deliberately mounted, to
convey to the audience the proper impress
sion. The company has been carefully
selected and numb ers p people. Two
baggage Cars are required to transport the
scenery and special stage appointments.

THE GORILLA AT HOME.
Interesting Facts About This Animal o
the African Jungles.

Interesting Facts About This Animal OF
the African Jungles.
In an interesting talk on the gorilla
by DR.. Nassau, missionary recently
returned from Africa, at meeting of
the Philadelphia academy of science,
it was stated that the distribution OF
gorillas was very limited, and that they
were only known in a region of Africa
900 miles square. This region is 300
miles north and the same distance
south of the equator, and 500 miles
eastward toward the interior. Where
the gorilla is found is the only part of
Africa where there are no hons.
Gorillas are gregarious. They are
often seen in pairs, and several are
sometimes together. The malefis very
brutal and selfish. and, in order;to save
their offspring from cruelty or death,
the females after they become mothers,
desert the males.
The gorilla is not carnivorous. It's
food is wild berries, nuts and fruits.
These do not satisfy it's hunger. so it
makes depredations on the planta tons.
DR.. Nassau described the great strength
of gorillas, their breadth Of chest.
stretch of arm and development of
muscle. Their preferable mode of at
tack is in half sitting posture, ex-
tending the foot, wi tn which they can
grasp mans leg and then crush him
in their arms and tear him with their
teeth.
The women most frequently see the
gorilla. They are the la borers and
watchers of the plantations. Often the
women are unsuccessful in their efforts
to brighten the gor:llas away, when
they visit the plantations. and fee,
sometimes being pursued by the ami
mails. This probably gives rise to the
stories of the abduction of women by
the male gorillas-stories which never
have been verified. They are more diff
icult to hunt than the elephant. an
telope or chimpanzee, as they seek the

and something fearfully like devilish

THE WAGE WORKER.
next.

Congressional District Alliance.
We are frequently asked how the wage
worker, who has no land or other securi-
ties upon which to borrow money, is to
be benefited by the financial reforms pro-
posed by the Peoples party. Since we
appeal to the wage workers for their sup
port 1t ls proper that this question be an
swered. Our platform demands shat
the amount of circulating medium be
speedily increased to not less than $50
per capita"
Since the supply of gold and silver
must always depend upon the freaks of
tickle fortune, and the output Of our
mines may at any time be greatly de-
creased If not entirely exhausted, while
the population Of our country and the
demand for money is steadily increasing,
it becomes apparent that the circulating
medium cannot be held steadily at $50
per capita, or at any other stated vol
ume, without we supplement the coinage
Of gold and silver with the issue Of some
other form of money, the supply Of which
may be under human control. Recog-
nizlng this fundamental fact, we demand
the Issue Of United States treasury notes,
which shall be full legal tender for all
debts public and private, directly from
the government to the people, as loan
upon real estate and other good and
sufficient securities, at uniform tax of
per cent. per annum for the use of such
treasury notes. Under this system, if
from any cause there should be flow Of
gold or silver out Of our country at any
time, or the production OF our mines
should fall, the deficiency could be at
once supplied by an issue Of treasury
notes, and the circulating medium held
steadily at $50 per capita, in defiance Of
ell manipulations of foreign potentateS,
or domestic money changers or Schem-
eEs.
Or il we do not choose TO limit the issue
according to population, it could be lin
itsd by the demands Of commerce, at the
unchangeRble rate at per cent. for It's
use; in either case we would be supplied
with q sufficiency Of money 10 transact
our business at all times, and panlcs
would be forever averted. We would
have for the first time In the history Of
finance "an honest dollar" that is to say,
we would have a dollar that could never
change in it's purchasing power, because
the relation between the supply OF money
would always be the same. The wage
worker In common with all other citizens
will be benefited:
