MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Reporter.

A good house greeted the comic
operetta produced by the young peopl
at the vestry of the Church of the
Messiah last evening. The argument of
the piece is:
A reporter happens into fairy land and
is deprived by the Goddess of Sleep OF his
sight, but on his promise not to write
of what he sees it is restored to him
again. He, however, breaks this promise
and is expelled. His book is taken away
from him and the queen makes hi NJ
forget what he has seen. On his return
to his office he is sent back by the pro-
prietress of the paper to recover his
memory and his note book. The third
and last acts shows his adventures and
closes with a chorus of all those taking
hard under the direction of Mr.. u. W.
Woodbury., and the performance is well
worth seeing There should be a good
house tonight.

"Please Wipe Your Feet"

Please wipe your feetl This is the leg
end that good health and manners re
quire should DO written on the entrance
of public or private buildings, Awful
is the condition of our streets. and more
awful in the eyes of good housekeepers
is the nastiness brought into the dwell

those who walk them. How vile this
composite is can only be appreciated by
those who try to clean II from the car

impure consequences. Health demands
extra care in a matter that Is regarded
as trivial in dry seasons, but the inJunc'

Careless children make careless adults.
and il is these bemuddied persons who
might practice that law Of the Moham-

their slippers on entering the mosque or
a house where there are lives to be re-
spected, with excellent results. In some
carpeted hotels the floors are covered
with cloth, but in private houses this
protection is not possible, and the house

The Newport News is very much mis-
taken II 1t imagines that the City Treas
urer OF Pawtucket has issued warrants
against Thousand delinquents who have
not paid their poll tax. The City Treas
urer at first thought he would tase such
a step but he came to the conclusion after
looking at the law that it was best to
first find out how the tax was to be col.
lected. Thus far no one seems able to tell
Just how the tax is to be collected or In
what manner 1t is necessary to proceed.
1t is easy enough to proceed In cases OF
tax on real estate or personal property,
but it is not quite so easy when there Is
simply poll tax. In the case Of the poll
tax the levy is TO be made upon the body.
But how is the body to be taxed? One
cannot be arrested and put in Jail with
out due process OF law. But what is the
due process OF law to be followed in this
case? II the tax is simply debt, then 1t
must be served as such and an execution
rule as in such cases made and provided
II it is not a debt by what means can ii
be collected? Can the City Treasurer issue
his warrant for the arrest of any body? II
so II is a new process in Rhode Island. II
is an innovation In all matters OF taxation
and the collection of the same. The truth
of the matter is that the law is one OF the
rattle headed harum scarum sort passed
by Republican Legislature, that can't be
very easily enforced and utterly useless
and good for nothing. The law is dead
letter because 1t can't be anything else.
What is wanted IL we are to have a poll
tax, is some means provided for its collec-
tion that is capable OF being enforced and
put in motion. Until the Legislature takes
the necessary steps the law will remain as
30 much dead wood on our statute books.
U Undoubtedly the tax collectors would act
II they could, but until the News points
out the way 1t is hardly right to say that
they are setting up their private opinion
against their oath OF Office and the higher
authority OF the State.

There is i'm existence a short poem,
said to have been scratched by maniac
Oh the wall of his cell. which runs thus:
Could with ink the ocean fill.
Were all the world Df parchment made.
Were every reed on earth quill
And every man scribe by trade,
To write the love Of God alone
Would drain that ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Nearly every one but +. II. Wilson OF
East Providence bel ewes In Constitution
al Convention. That pure statesman who
was openly accused of barefaced and open
bribery doesn't like the idea. Neither does
he like other grave and serious charges
which have been made against him.
Eliery is very conservative fellow when
conservatism is confined to the State
House, but his hilarity in other places is
well known. .
II the people could but know the reasons
for this conservatism at the State House,
they might forgive his hilarity at
other places, because every man has some
weak spot. But why should we not have
q Constitutional Convention2 They say
that we can amend the constitution with.
out one. But they never tell us when 1t
can be done, or how or why 1t should be
amended.
Look at our present condition. Here
are two or three thousand citizens blod-
getted out of vote. II makes no differ
ance what party they belong to. Today
they may be Republicans and tomorrow
Democrats, Just as their own sweet wills
dictate, but they are American citizens
and have voted one way or the other, and
why should the Republican party object
to them' II stikes both ways, and neither
side likes It when their own men are hit.
II puts extra burdens on one class Of citi.
Sens which are not placed upon other
classes. 1t MAKES unequal distinctions.
These peculisrities in our laws and con.
stitution can only be rectified by convsn-
