HILL ON MAYNARD.

Senator Hill appeared before the
Brooklyn Democracy last evening as
champion of the discredited Judge
Maynard. Little he said is of any
moment, and nothing he could say
would change the opinion OF all right
minded citizens that the nomination of
Maynard is disgrace which should
not be perpetuated by his election to the
court of appeals.
In defending him Senator Hill pla ced
himself in the position of the receiver
OF stolen goods who praises the criini-
nal cleverness Of the thief. Maynard
committed theft and by that theft Hill
and his party were enabled to steal the
senate OF the state Of New York. There
Is no Disgusting the fact or palliating the
offence.
The man whom the Democrats pro.
pose TO put on the bench of the highest
court In the state Of New York is a
criminal, self-confcsscd. If justice
were done he would be ex-
plating his crimes in penal
servitude. That he is not, is due entire.

Westminster Thea ter.

No company this season has opened to
larger audiences than did the Reilley q
Woods big company at the Westminst,r
theater yesterday afternoon and evening.
The program was good enc
aud the general expression was
that it is the best COM
psny of specially artists that has played an
engagement at this place of amusement
so far this season. The famous boxing
kangaroo has been billed AS an extra at
traction, and it is certainly no ovelty, as
it uses It's front paws as handily as an ex-
pert boxer.
The performance begins with musical
act by Joe Allen and john West. who are
followed by the Wood sisters, Frances
aud Julia, in pleasing songs, John j.
Burke and MISS Grace Forrest In a
lauahable absurdity entitled, Tricks OF
the Trade" Next came Atroy, 1ugsler;
Misses Irene Rice and Maud
Harvey, in songs and high kicking; Pat
Re ey, in songs, dances and lightning
crayo on sketches; johnson, Riano and Bent.
ley, in a conical acrobatic act.
The olo was brought to conclusion
with the big kangaroo, known as Big
Frank, and Tom Tally, better known as
Black Tom. the Australian champion, In
lhree rounds, after which Pat Reiiley, j. j.
Burke and others OF the company
appeared in an amusing comedy, entitled
'The Mystic Order OF Uad ertakers."

the gentleman Ii entitled to unstinted
praise for the results OF his labors were
entirely satisfactory. All the great scenes
were faithfully prod uced and the cos
TUNES were new and bright aud in
strict accordance with the re-
quirements OF the spectacular. The
company. large one, was strong In its
individual membership and the entire
performance was marked with true dra-
matte finish. ME-. p. Sullivan gave an
excellent rend tion Of the acting role OF
Phileas Fogg and made the character
stand out with great prominence. Miss
Maude Nicklnson was very charming
Aouda. her beautiful personality stand
lug her in good stead. Miss Viola Ban
croft was a most graceful Ayesha aud
her costumes were remarkably handsome
and cfHiuty.- Miss Nina Savilie- assumed
several distinct character roles In all OF
which she showed q fine comprehension
of the authors conception and Miss
frankie Carpenter made most vivacious
and pretty Pessie. Jere Grady's Passe

the performances. Mr.. Grady possesses

II Is now reasonably certain that the
proposed compromise on the silver ques-
tion will not be carried out. At best it
was a dangerous proposition, and the
fact that there is no longer a probability
Of its adoption will be welcomed by those
who feared that in their anxiety to es-
cape from a troublesome dilemma the
Democratic majority would carry it into
effect.
What the fate of the bill for the
repeal OF the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman law now before the senate
will be is as yet uncertain, and this
uncertainty is due entirely to the attitude
of the Democratic senator's. Thirty-six
Of them signed the request to Mr..
Voorhees, to substitute the Gorman
compromise for the unconditional repeal
measure. Their action in this respect
furnished ground for the suspicion that
they were not as sincere in their desire
for unconditional repeal as they professed
to be.
Possibly they are now honestly in
favor of the repeal of the silver pur-
chase clause. II so the way is open to
them to relieve the uncertainty and
prove their sincerity. They still have,
as they have had for the past two
months and more, clear majority, but
unless they assert and maintain the
rights of that majority by immediate
action what has heretofore been sus-
picion will develop into a certainty that
they are mere triflers unworthy of conf
dence and incapable of dealing with
momentons public matters.
The plain duty of the hour is to repeal
the silver purchase clause, and that too
without discussion. No further debate
should be permitted for the extent to
which it has already been carried has ex-
hausted the subject and wearied and dis
gusted the people.
If in no other way the obstruction tao
tics of the silver fanatics can be met
and overcome cloture should be applied.
This Is the only means by which the
interests Of the country can be served
and If the majority does not avail itself
of its opportunity it will stand convicted
before the nation as grossly weak and
incompetent.

mantle and comedy elements predomi-
nate while the story In itself is de-
lightful one. No doubt those who re-
member the excellent production of the
play moro than q score OF years ago did
not expect as good performance, but
they were agreeably disappointed and 1t
10 doubtful whether one of them would
contend that even with the late Lester
Wallack as the central figure Rose

factory manner.
Mr.. Haworth Is a Qracsful and manly
actor, aud his impsrsonatioa of Elliot
Grey is an excellent piece Of work. His
naturalness is captivating while in bear

GET OUT THE VOTE.

If the Republicans of Newport do not
win signal victory tomorrow it will be
because of their own apathy. Their
ticket is a strong one and appeals to the
conservative citizenship Of all shades
Of political opinion. The names upon
it furnish guarantee of good ard hon.
est government which is what is wanted
in the city by the sea.
Newport Republicans should set the
example to their brethren in other cities
by electing their candidates. They can
do it. All that is needed is systematic
work in getting the votes out. The
only chance of defeat will be in the
failure to bring out the strength of the
party.

THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR.

Those members of the board of alder
men who for several months past have
played peanut politics with the common
council have been defeated mt last, as
from the outset 1t was certain they
would be. Both branches Of the city
government met in joint convention last
evening and elected an inspector of
plumbing. Nor did tho West combine
which is respons ible for the delay in fill
ing this important and necessary Office
cut much of figure in making the
selection.
The combine had had its day and
could no longer prevent either by alb
sence or trickery the performance of a
plain, public duty.
Mr.. Bemis, who was elected inspector
by a practically unanimous vote, is in
every way fitted for the position.
That there was no doubt as to
his capability is signally shown
by the fact that all but four of the bal
lots cast were in his favor. 1t is en-
couraging to know that in the selection
of an inspector the council has been in
iuenced solely by considerations of what
was best for the city and the citizens.
1t is also matter Of satisfaction that
the man chosen is in no sense politi-
clan but practical business man who
can be depended upon to discharge his
duties faithfully and efficiently.
This is not, Of course. what Mr.. West
and his supporters wanted, but as has
already been suggested the day of the
combine has gone by.
