In one sense ''Superba'' is n heavy pro duction. one needs only to watch the ar rival of trucks from the train with the scenery to realize that there are toIs and tons of it. The rapid chaRge of scenes in a production of this kind requires an im- mense amount of labor that the audience is not aware of. The Hanlcns are exrerts in devising means of handling such quan- titles of scenery. just as they are experts in devisiDg new tricks for "Superba" and similar productions. Tn" production is a grouping of mysterio $. mechanical de vices. wonderful tricks, beautiful trans- formations. agile pantomImIsts. acrobats and pretty girls.

The names of Edwin Forrest and John Mccullough are insepar- ably connected with Sheridan Knowles great tragedy and now that James O'Neill has added it to -hls repertoire there Is a fair opportunity that his name will be added to make an illustrious trio His performance is said to be little short of perfection.

THE Democratic Caucus OF the

been forced to adopt the REED plan
OF counting a quorum. For weeks
nothing has been done in the House
and the Republicans have been the
masters of the situation. During
the 51st Congress Speaker RRED was
Aroundly abused ior doing what the
Democrats now admit he had right
to do. This able Republican leader
gave notice that he would force the
majority to adopt his policy.
And now four years later they for
maIly adopt and endorse the very
mode of procedure for which he was
called tyrant, czar and viola
tor of the constitutional provisions
of the law.

THE SPOILS SYSTEM In THE RICH
MOND POST.OFFICE.

POSTMASTER CULLINGswoRTH OF
this city is playing havoc with the
civil service rules.
The first victim to be officially de-
capitated was Mr.. EDWARD THoMP-
SON, a colored gentleman noted for
his uniform courtesy, and well liked
by the patrons of the Office.
He was under the civil service
rules. and the position embraced In
the classified service. He was
placed under these rules in the same
manner as had been the employees
in the other department., and we
learn that it was falsely represented
at Washington that In s.s-much as
he handled $3.50 worth of stamps
| per day at the stamp-window and
the position was one OF great trust,
the postmaster should say absolute
lily who should hold the position. 1t
, was subsequently developed that
the number of stamps handled by
lMr. THOMPSON did not reach &10Q
! lper- day.
ri These are the methods resorted tx
o In order TO GUST men of Republican
It proclivities from Office.
