are 10 be chosen at the approaching cleo
ton in November. We cannot ignore the
fact that Virginia, as n sovereign aud CO.
equal member Of the Uuion. is deeply md
vitality interested III those questions OF
tariff reform and financial relief which are
now challenging the earnest thought aud
deliberate attention of the American peo-
pie.
10. Upon the great question of the cur
rency we reiternte the PRINCIPLES an
nounced in the national convention at Chi
cago and endorsed with such unparalleled
unanimity by the people of this country
az the polls in November last. We urge
upon our Senators and Representatives, In
Congress the speedy enactment OF sue h
laws az will carry out the provisions OF hat
platform and relieve the country from the
the unwlse and reckless legislation OF the
Republican party has brought 1t. We
insist upon the passage OF such
legislation as will provide for an
eIpansiou OF the currency sufficient
to meet the business needs or the
country without delay. In like man.
ner we endorse the principles announced
by the Chicago convention upon the SUBJ
iect Of tariff taxation, and urge upon Con-
gress the imperative duty of carrying into
fect by appropriate legislation the decla-
rations of that platform so soon rs the
more pressing needs of the currency pro-
blem has received attention. We recon-
mend that the prohIbltory IL per cent. :ax
on our State-bank issues be repealed.
JUST AND FAIR TAXATION.
II. We believe the burdens of government
should be fairly and justly imposed and
borne. To this end we earnestly favor
graduated income tax by the Federal
Government. and the enactment OF such
laws as will secure the full and accurate
listing of all property amenable to such a
tax.
The PRESIDENT ENDORSED.
-. We applaud the prompt and patriotic
action of the President in issuing his pro-
clamation converting Congress ia ezra
ordinary session, and we anticipate with
hope and confidence the adoption of such
measures by the Democratic Senate and
House of Representatives as Will Afford
speedy relief to thu people from the fnaa-
cial troubles by which they are now envi-
roned.
13. Grover Cleveland having been elected
President of the United States upon the
platform of principles enunclated at
Chicago. deserves and Will receive the cor
dial and united support OF the Virginia
Democracy. Judging the future by the
past. we confidently expect at his hands
an able, patriotic, and honest adminlstra-
ton. .,
IA. Cherishing an abiding faith that all
the great interests of our State and coun-
try are dependent upon the continued as
tendency of the Democratic party, wo
submit its principles. its politics. It's claims.
and It's candidates TO the enlightened and
patriotic Judgment of the Virginia PEG pie.
The platform was adopted by unani-

Fire In the Opera House.

There came near being a serious fire on the
stage at the Opera House last Thursday even
ing. al the performance of "Lost In London"
Several drop curtains belonging to the COM
pany were hosted into the flies, as the space
above the stage is called, and about ten min
utes before the curtain rose for the first act
one OF the incandescent lights exploded, set
ting one of the drops on lire. 1t was discoV-
cred ut once, and quickly lowered, but before
the fire could be eXtngui>hed two large holes
and several smaller ones were burned In the
curtain Fortunately the scene was painted
with analne dyes, for had it been "A regula-
ton oil paint curtain the fire would have
spread like lightning to the other pieces of
see, ery. No blame could he attached to any
of the stage hauds, as there was no one in
that vicinity at the time, and the cause of the
lamp bursting is unknown. Mr. Beers made
a satisfactory settlement with Capt. w. IL.
Tay Tor for the damage to the curtain, charg-
ing only enough to repair the damage. He
said he had no fault to find with the manage
ment, who did the best possible in a critical
moment. This calls up again suggestion
made some time ago, that a hydrant be
placed inside the Opera House, on the stage,
ready at all times with hose connected. 1t is
an oversight that it has not been done before,
as with so much valuable property, and so
many lives in peril in case of fire, every pre-
caution possible should be taken. The cost
would he small to set a hydrant and put in a
few lengths of hose with nozzle, and even
if it never became necessary to use it, it
would he a cheap kind of insurance. Going
to do anything about it?

HELEN BARRY.
The Charming English Actress In ga
Nights Frolic" To morrow Evening.

The Charming English Actress In "a
Nights Frolic" To morrow Evening
Miss Helen Barry, who is to appear at the
Opera House, Friday evening, will present
for the first time in this place her much
talked about and very successful play en-
titled ga Nights Froic," which had a re-
markable run of eight consecutive weeks in
the Park theatre, Boston, last season and on
tour in the principal cities this season. 1t
is delightful comedy, and in it Miss Barry
appears in a dual role. She is woman Of
comm inding presence; a player exactly suited
to the part of gallant military officer. She
does not appear exclusively in a male char
acter aud says that she would not do so for
any consideration. In her natural character
she appeals to the sentiment of her own sex,
and in the masquerade she commands the ad-
miration of all. Miss Barry has strong
company and special scenery. and every de-
tail is thoroughly looked after. The play
tells the story of merry willow, who wish
ing 10 aid a Young friend and to brighten
away a gallant officer to whom the young
frie ID is unwilliugly betrothed, attires her
Sc in the uniform of "A hu>ss. and meets
with host of mi>a'iveHtures. Miss Barry is
an experienced actress, and as Lady Betty
and the French Chasseur il said to have met
with great success. When the curtain goes
ND ON the first act, the arrival of Captain
Chan,lon of the French Chas>eurs is hourly
expected. He has been engaged since his in-
fancy to Nellie Stanton, the daughter of a
retired commodore of the United States navy.
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1893-03-09

The betrothal Ia the result of the frie ndship
and meddIesomeness of the fathers of the
young people. The young lady loves Claude
belmont, who, of course, loves her. The
problem that cOnfronts Miss Stanton and her
friends. Mrs. Sophie Sedley and the Hon.
Mrs. Margaret Vane, otherwise known as
Lady Betty, Is to get rid of the French officer
and reconcile the old commodore to the other
match. Lady Betty promises her help, and
gives 1t with the greatest eagerness when she
learns that the French officer il gentleman
she met and fell in love with when abroad a
short time before. Now for the scheme.
Lady Betty goes to the old commodore's
house. resolved to play the part of Captain
Chandon In n way to disgust him with his
prospective SOn-in-law. While engaged in
this, disguised AS French officer she makes
love to Mrs. Sedley, the wife of the commo-
dore's friend, and gives him fit of the hor-
rors. Later she finds herself placed in a
room to spend the night, and being afraid to
stay alone, she tries to bride the old coored
servant to bring Mrs. Sedley to her. This the
old fellow Indignantly refuses to do. Then
the real Captain Chandon is put in the room
to spend the night with her, she still being
in uniform and being regarded by the COM
modore, the old servant and the captain as a
man. This is a terrible time for her, which
she finally ends by turning on the fire-aarm.
Lady Betty and Mrs. Sedley escape from the
house together, and Mr.. Sedley learns that
his wife and Captain Chandon have
eloped. Matters are Strengthened out after a
while. Young belmont gets his Nellie, Lady
Betty captures CAPTAIN ChandOn, and the
misunderstanding between husband aud wife
is removed.
