A VERY "SNIDE" PLAY.
The Theatre-Goers of Texarkana
Treated to a Very Rocky"
First Nights Per-
formanee.

The opening event of the season
at GhiO's opera house last evening,
i'll the shape of a farce comedy, of
very low order, succeeded in at
tracing a very slim audience, in
deed. The performance possessed
many features, but not one of them
entitled either play or players to a
single word of generous praise or
favorable comment at the hands of
either press or people. The whole
performance from rise to fall of
curtain may be summed up rocky,
while the play itself could never,
even by the merest tyro, be classed
above 'low middling" The MEM
members of the company are in no
wise to blame, perhaps, for this
state of affairs. They have, no
doubt, undertaken their respective
parts in this very low" comedy,
purely as a matter of business, do
ing their best to make it attractive
to the public by stage effects and
various specialties. That they have
not achieved anything like success
in this effort the audience of last
evening can affirm. The worst fea-
ture of the whole affair is that the
opera house management should so
gravely and grossly mistake the
feeling and sentiment of local play
goers as to imagine a performance
of this character, abounding in
stale jokes, perfunctory acting and
awkward climaxes, could satisfy the
taste of even the least critical Of
audiences, as a first nights per
folmance of the season. That
the audience, small as it was,
went away distinctly disappoint-
ed, was easily apparent. Had the
management of the opera house
used this performance as the means
of filling in date, criticism would
have been uncalled for, but as the
first event of the season, my what
a "fuke." " For the members of the
company we have no unkindly feel
ing whatever, and what we say is
entirely without malice, simply an
echo of our own opinion, and, as we
honestly believe, Of nine tenths of
the audience, as we'll
If this is the opening what may we
expect at the close? A repetition of
last seasons stale performances, in
terspersed with catch-penny at
fractions, occasional exhibitions of
what is very properly designated
"horse play" and only saved from
popular public condemnation by a
few really hrst-class plays, inter
spersed, at rare intervals? We
hope not, as the time and space of
this paper is otherwise needed. Yet
we promise, should such prove to
be the case, that we shall spare
neither in showing up so-called "at-
fractions, as they deserve to be.

WHO FOUGHT IN THE WAR.

A lady correspondent at Fond du
Lac, Wis, has written the Courier
Journal to know whether more Re
publicans than Democrats fought in
the late war of the rebellion, in
which letter the lady states that
the Republicans in that neck of the
woods claim that "they saved the
Union and freed the slaves" In re-
sponse to this inquiry the Courier
Journal says;
There is no means of telling ex-
actly how many Republicans and
how many Democrats were in the
army Of the Union. 1t is known
that many of the leading Generals
had been Democrats, such as Grant
Thomas, Hancock, etc 1t is also
known that while some of these CO.
operated with the Republican par
ty after the war a great many of
the original Republicans deserted
that party when questions growing
out of the war were settled.
There dre, however, some statis-
tics that throw some light on this
question. In 1860 the Republicans
polled ,866, 352 votes for President
and Vice-President. The opposi-
tion vote was as follows:
Douglas .........,....."l,37 l,375, l57
Breckinridge .......~...,...... 845, 763
Bell NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 581
Total opposition. .2,79O,5O1
In other words, the Republicans
in 1860 lacked about a million of
votes of having as many votes as
the opposition. The number of men
furnished for the Union army in
in the civil war is given as 2,778, ,304.
II every man who voted Tor Lincoln
in 1860 had gone into the army,
they would have been about mil
lion short of the whole number of
enlistments. Kentucky, which gave
practically no votes to Lincoln,
furnished IS, 76O to the Union army.
1t is plain from the figures here
given that if the Republicans had
been compelled to fight the war
single handed they would have been
outnumbered and conquered. All
parties in the North and in the bor-
der States helped to swell the Fed
eral army, and immigrants from
abroad were literally represented.

The Treasury Robbery.

After The Independent had given to the pub
lie the crooked work of eXState Treasurer
Hamilton, who converted to his own use SIo,-
600 of the state money, Mr.. Hamilton went up
to Topeka and consulted with MIR. Leland, chair
man of the Republican state central committee.
The Independent has demanded all investiga-
ton by the grand jury of Shawnee county,
furnishing the names of witnesses. few OF
the Republican papers had the temerity to call
this exposure fake. In this they were en-
dorsed by such Democratic papers as the Star
and the Times of Kansas City.
There will be no investigation by the grand
Jury, and the guilty one will go unpublished
After Hamilton's consultation with Leland all
the powers of the Republican state central COM
mittee were brought to bear to prevent the
meeting of the grand jury. Judge Hazen was
informed that under no circumstances must
there be all investigation, and as the only way
to prevent it the grand jury must not be called.
The requisite number of names had been OBJ
tanned and all legal technicalities had been COM
piled with There was nothing to prevent this
body.
Mr.. Leland saw the danger of all investiga-
ton and decided to stop the grand jury if pos
sible How to accomplish this result was the
question. 1t now appears that Judge Hazen
has been hearing arguments from attorneys to
prove that he has no legal right to call this body
together, and thus saves Hamilton, Humphrey
and Higgins from the penitentiary.
The law provides that there may be grand
Jury when a certain number of names have been
signed to the petition.
The "lawyers," with the assistance of the
Judge, seek to defeat the operation of the law.
Professional ethics permits these men to
openly and boldly set aside the laws of the
state in futherance of political schemes.

PEOPLES PARTY SALOON PLANK-ln The Record
this morning is said the appeal for funds prepared
by the finance committee of the Peoples party did
not meet the approval of the governing body, and
was referred back the committee to be redrafted
The changes ordered made and the appeal as
amended appears in the present issue OF The Record
The original manifesto contained a side drive at
that very sensitive gentleman, the saloonkeeper.
1t than limited that the Peoples party is pc
culary the patry of morality and reform it would
be unbecomng for it to make any special effort to
curry favor with the tlnn.skinned and exceedingly
exacting shop element. 1t is a fact OF common
notoriety that both the Democratic and Republican
bosses are continually their knees before the
Moloch of the liquor interest striving their utter
most to Guido each other in abject service of the
Jealous tyrant 1t would be wildly absurd for the
Peoples party to expect any OF the whisky votes so
long as the Democratic and Republican parties are
in hot rivalry to which shall give the grogshop
the most favors More than that, the Peoples party
is already on the black list of the rum power. From
the hour of its birth it was devoted exclusively to
lemonade and soda water At Cincinnati, on May
49, 1891 15l7 delegates founded the Peoples party.
On that occasion the hotels laid in extra stocks Of
liquors and hired additional bar-keepers The re-
suit was CHASTITY bankruptcy The delegates de-
clined to drink "hard STUFF and the barrooms were
as silent and reposcful as the cells of Carrhusan
monastery.
At that convocation a powerful minority came
near putting broad prohibition plank in the plat
form of the new party While practically all the
delegates temperance men, yet majority OF
them knew that radical prohibition had after long
trial in Maine and Iowa failed to prohibit hence then
as now they favored the Norway plan of dealing with
the liquor traffic, which Gov Tilman of South Caro-
lima partially adopted.
There is no manner of doubt that the People E 'ooh
ty at it's next presidential convention will co" -
souarely in favor of Matchmaking the liquor bushes
Shrewd whisky men know this and hate the new pohm
itcal organization accordingly The wise Peoples
party leaders anxious TO settle the temperance
question by making all liquor places as clean, decent
and respectable as are those German saloons which
have an exclusive German or scandinavian patronage
The Peoples party is out for government owner
ship of railways coal lands aud banking institution
1t is bent on overthrowing monopolistc oppression
of all breeds and seeks the complete emancipation OF
the wage slave.
Will it prove itself the great iberator in all these
items, think YOU and continue to keep its strong,
brave hands off the saloon of to-day? No; it will
sweep this lurking place of devils out of the conti-
nent and in so doing give freedom to that lowest of
