ADJUSTMENTS.
A GOOD ATTRACTION,

Affairs have arrived at such state
that IL is by no means certain that a
meritorious attraction receives the sup
port from the theatre-goers to which its
strength and reputation should entite
it. A case in point was "Held In Slav-
cry" at the Eleventh Avenue Opera
House last night. This is one of the
best productions of the sensational order
now on the road. The company is large,
strong and well balanced. The actors
received several curtain calls and even
the scenery was appIauded. The CON-
pany is very bright and the specialties
of Harry Sedley, Charles Robinson and
Freddie luke received many encores.-

PROF EBEN ALEXANDER, who has
been appointed Minister to Greece,
is q native of knoxville, Tennessee.
His father was distinguished law
yer of that city He is graduate
of Yale College, and for the last five
years has been a professor at our
University. He has made the study
of Greek speciality, and the Char
lotte Observer says thAt che will be
in eptiro sympathy with Greek feel
ing, thought and traditions We
apprehend, however, that. Greek
traditions are at a rat er low
ebb in Modern Greece. Tha'
country is under e sort Of mild pro
tectorate of divers European pow
ers and the King,-George, waf
Prince George of Denmark. New
ertheless it will doubtless be very
interesting to the Professor to spenc
four years as our Minister at Athens
aud the opportunity will be afford
ed him to make good use of his fn'
scholarship But he need not ex
pect to talk to the natives in thei1
vernacular, modern Greek being
different from the classical, unless
we err greatly

Women Voters In Kansas.

Topeka, April 5-The action of
the Legislature in submitting to
the voters an amendment to the
Constitution giving women the right
to vote at all elections has had the
effect OF slightly increasing the reg
istration in cities where they have
the right to vote in municipal cleo
tions. In the several cities where
registration is required the poll
books show the following numbers
of women taking advantage of their
limited rights: Topeka, 1000; Leav-
enworth, 1854; Wichita, 2,464;
Lawrence, 1000; Fort Scott, 1885;
Emporla, S83; Kansas City, 1882
The proportion is continued about
the same In the ether cities. The
registration this year is much larger
than it was last year. While some
OF this increase was caused by a
wish to prove that the women de-
sired full franchise, much of it was
occasioned by the activity of candi-
dates in the cities, who personally
solicited their friends of the gentler
eek to help them out.

IT looks as if there is trouble
again brewing at James City for
the authorities. MIR. Bryan having
been awarded possession OF bis
property by the courts, he offered
the ,ntruders who have no title
what the people generally consid-
cred liberal terms. We think they
are very liberal, much more so than
could have been expected. But the
people who have built on his land
do not seem to think so. and in q
public meeting have passed resolu-
tions that look as if they did not
propose to accept them. In that evt Mt
tie law will have to take its
course, and the Stale will see the
order of the court given proper
and lawful effect and operation
Whatever hardship there may be ln
the case has been re moved by the
very liberia offer of Mr. Bryan.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers will fight the matter to

ney ys and officials think there will be
no more trouble by the men until
after the whole matter has final
hearing. General Manager 81. W.

the SUIT is not matter between the

JUDGE JACKSON, VINO was appoin-
ted to the United States Supreme
ourt by Harrison, as successor to
Justice Lamar, was not considered
very strong States Rights Demo
crat, and he has begun his career
by writing an opinion that will be
much criticised. It was in the case
of the bogus Lord Beresford. who
swindled 9 Georgians SO badly.
The rascal having fed was arres-
ted and brought back to Georgia on
a certain criminal charge; and be-
ing in the custody of the Court
there, was trie and convicted for
another offence than that for
which he was arrested. It may be
that such action was lawful; and
we do not fnd fault with the decis
sion; but in the opinion, he goes it
seems to us, from the brief extracts
we have seen, somewhat beyond what
the case warranted in his discussion
Of the powers of the States. He
concludes that upon fugitives
surrender to the State demanding
his return IN pursuance of national
law, he may be tried, ETC., etc. A
Judge should observe the Constitu
tion, and the word s'natlonal" is not
to be found in that instrument
There is nothing in the Constitution
about "nati NAL law" But that il
