ONE DAY.
The Grand Entertainment Soon To Be
Given In City Hall.

The title Zone Day." conveys but little
of the exquisite allegory set forth in this
entertainment, which represents days
festival from the first glimpse of Aurora
ushering in the dawn, through the yicis-
STUDIES attendant upon the waxing and
waning of light to the close of the day,
and the rise of the crescent moon when
fair Diana appears in regal state.
The idea was suggested by the institute
ton to which the proceeds of the enter
tainment are to be devoted-the ecstatic
delight of the blind over the emancipa-
ton from darkness into the freedom of
the light-corresponding to the general
rejoicing of nature at the approach and
in the presence of day. 1t will partake
il no way of the nature of the tiresome
fairs, which bore the public and have
driven the long suffering merchants to
the point of open rebellion. While Terp-
sichore will be the principal patroness of
the festival, it will have its musical, dra-
matte and spectacular effects. The seen
cry and costuming will be revelation.
The patronage of every friend of suffer-
ing humanity is solicited. 'sOne Day"
is original with Mr.. NJ. B. Gilbert, who
will have the entire management of it's
production. 1t will be produced at City
Hall, April 18th to 22d inclusive.

THE LABRADOR.
Her Engineers We're OF Engaged in the
Row on the Wharf at Halifax.
PORTLAND Me-, Mar. %, '93,

PORTLAND Me-, Mar. 70, 10,
To the Editor Of the Press
On arrival in port copy OF your valu-
able paper was handed to me containing
an account of a disturbance made at
Halifax, by the engineers of my ship, ac-
cusing four of them of committing q
dastardly attack on an aged man, and
the statement referred to was so Worded
that the men referred to were to be con-
demned even if they offered fair state
ment of the case. They are therefore de-
barred from making any reply, and | as
master of this boat respectfully try to
inform you that after the most careful
inquiry into the matter that a more MAJ
licious libel | never saw in print have
known three out of the four men men
toned for the last ten years, two of them
being in this same ship for the last five
years with me. They were all working
at the machinery the night in question;
and shall consider it a great favor if
you will contradict the statement in
yours of the 9th. Some little distur-
bance took place between the firemen
and the parties mentioned but assure
you that none Of the engineers were cog
infant of the fact, and think in COM
mon justice to them, who are well known
in this port that you will see the proprie-
ty of publishing this letter. Thanking
you in advance for your courtesy, be-
lieye me yours very truly,
JAMES McAULEY, Master.
From personal investigation made of
this case, we are satisfied that an injus-
tice has been done the engineers of the
Labrador; and we are glad to make
the proper correction. Our Halifax cor
respondent has confSunded the engineers
with the stokers. Some of tho stokers
did have a fight on the wharf that night,
but the. engineers had nothing whatever
to do with it. The engineers in the SER
vice of the Dominion Line are a body O..
highly skilled entirely trustworthy anG
gentlemanly men, who have risen to
their positions after years of study and
training. The four engineer officers of
the Labrador are no exceptions to this
rule, and we regret very much that our
despatch should have done them the in
justice.-Ed.

The enthusiasm in France over the
Russian visit is typical of the excitable
temperament of the French people. They
are wildly enthusiastic over the belief
that the time is ripe for an assault for the
recovery of Alsace and Lorraine. In this
it is probable that they are not warranted.
The Gar, however disposed to aid
France, has first and foremost the ambi-
ton of Russia to conserve. He never
will engage with France in war to aid
to recover her lost provinces; there must
be some other cause to give him excuse
for becoming a war ally of the republic.
If he can see his way to advance the
Russian power southwark, through a
European war in which France will be
central figure, he will not hesitate How
ever it takes very little to form basis of
affront in Europe, and it is not improb-
able, therefore, that cause will presently
be found for presenting demands to
which the Triple Alliance cannot accede.
Still, we have had these rumors of con-
templated war so often repeated for the
last twenty-five years that the cry of
wolf is becoming somewhat stale. We
must not be blind to the fact, however,
that the French people will never cease
to be restless until there is a new strug-
gle inaugurated to restore Alsace and
Lorraine to French jurisdiction. Nor
must we lose sight of the fact that in the
entertainment of the purpose to recover
these provinces France will have the
sympathy of most of the civilized world
outside of the bounds of Italy, Ger
many and Austria. Old England has no
special interest in the recovery one way
or the other Her interest lies in preserv-
ing close relations with Germany, and
she will not permit anything France may
do to disturb them.

IF half the counties will follow the ex-
ample of Kern County there will be put
into circulation within the next three
months, and kept here. over seven mill
ions of dollars without any call upon the
people in these hard times for material
taxation and without any citizen being
compelled to advance a dollar from his
hard-earned store. 1t is an example Sac
ramento is about to follow II is a sim
pie proposition. We need certain per-
manent improvements. To construct
them will employ labor and swell the
volume of the circulation of money, and
thus relieve California from the distress
of hard times. 1t will do more-the i'm
provements will in themselves better
conditions by conserving economy in
agriculture and lessening the burdens of
the farmer, and at the same time will i'm
mensely attract to the State brains and
money that are now repelled. The cost
will be less to accomplish all this than to
leave it uninterrupted. That is to say, we
will pay a heavier interest upon the need
unsupplied than upon the money neces-
sary to to fill it. The taxpayers money
is worth to him to-day and 10 per cent.
and even more, but for per cent. he can
use the capital of another. There is capi-
tai in plenty to be poured into California
that we can so use as to make it pay value
received for all the time we require it.
Why not employ this ready means to
crush hard times?

State system who think that the better
plan in producing books 10 the future
will be to open authorship to free compe-
titlon. Others are as positively of the
opinion that the wiser scheme is TO have
the State Board of Education select its
authors, and revise and edit their work
as at present. That the State does not
provide as yet textbooks for the high
schools is due solely to the fact that we
have not sufficient high schools in the
State to justify it. 1t is unfortunate that
even as to the high school series we
should be left at the mercy of the book
rings.
Mr.. Hyde's letter reads very much as
If 1t were prepared for some special pur-
pose foreign to any home debate of the
school-book question. 1t appears in the
press without any preface as to the cause
of its production just at this time, when
there is no Legislature in session to be
moved upon. 1t is not addressed to the
editors ofthe paper in which it appears. 1t
is signed by Mr.. Hyde without any of the
conventional closing phrases of courtesy.
In short, it reads very much as ifit were
twin to certain other assault published
by the book ring. and intended to exert
an influence at the East in communities
proposing to adopt the California plan, or
to inquire into it.
II Mr.. Hyde did not write the letter to
be used and quoted in other parts of the
country against State textbook plans
generally. then he has been most unfor-
tunate in having written a letter that fits
into such use as nicely as if the most
skilled agent of the book ring had pre-
pared it. We recall one of these letters,
which appeared i'll san Francisco and
country journals some time ago, signed
"a Sacramento Teacher" and which was
as much like Mr.. Hyde's letter as one
pea is like another. That letter the
RECORD UNION printed and proved that
it was paid for at so much line as ad-
vertising in the press, and that the coin
came from the East, and not from a Sac
ramento teacher. The RECORD UNION
promptly replied to that letter, pointing
out its fraudulent character. We would
not say that Mr.. Hyde's communication
came from such source, but we do say
that he could not better have served the
scheme of the book ring of the East than
by writing the letter.
