Amuseneuts.

The comedy, by Wits Outwitted, :"
at Harper's theatre last evening was
well attended. The production,
though well presented, is itself ut
terlv devoid of merit; in fact. it is
what might be termed the vulgar
order of comedies, and is picture of
one side Of Chicago life that would
be better suppressed. 1t has moth
ing to commend it to the stage.
..Across the Potomac" rewritten
for this seasons tour, by its authors.
Messrs. Pitou and Alfriend. will be
given at Harper's theatre this eve
ming. The play is one of those STIR
ring melo-dramatic productions
which arouse feelings of patriotism
in the most callous breast. 1t is re-
plete with incident and exciting sit
nations. OF course, it has love
story intertwined with its patriot
ism; without that no play would
have any interest. The tale is of a
young southern girl who loves a
northern soldier, how he is made a
prisoner of war and escapes through
the assistance of female spy. His
escape is discovered and he is tracked
right to the home of the girl he loves.
Here he finds his father q paroled
prisoner of war. but he and the wo.
man who tried to save him. together
with a private soldier and faithful
follower, are condemned to death.
Of course. at the moment of execu.
ton of the sentence, a pardon ar.
rives, and with it the news that Gen.
Lee is about to surrender to Gen,
Grant. Thus all ends happily.

| The fact that Chairman Collins
should have accompanied the county
delegation will occasion no surprise.
1t is fact that cannot be doubted.
that Mr.. Collins has had the major
ity of the beard pledged to give him
the best of it in connection with the
court house erection. When the pop
ular sentiment arose so strongly
against the snap that Mr.. Collins had
arranged to secure, even to the fur
nishing of the plans, the board de-
cided that no one should be en-
ployed in any capacity until the
plans were adopted, but the court
house committee predominated by
MIR. Collins friends, headed 10y Sup
ervisor Quayle, made an opening fol
Collins, in providing that an expert
accompany the committee on its trip
Notwithstanding the transparency o.
this move, and that The ARGUS wa:
convinced when it questioned Super
visor Quayle Monday, that it had
been entirely arranged to take Mr.
Collins along, Mr.. Quayle protested
that the committee had not made NJ
its mind whom it would invite to ac
company it as an expert, if anyone
AS it happened, Mr.. Collins was the
especially chosen one, and the coun
ty will be very apt to foot the bill
while Mr.. Collins is ingratiatins
, himself into the committees gool
grace, even to the drawing of tn,
plans if necessary.
1t may not be superfluous to state
that The ARGUS personally has NJ
objection to MIR. Collins-not the
least-but it does not see why h.
should be permitted to force his ser
vices on the county to the exclusion
of all others; it is opposed to hi
using his Office as politician to &C
quire such advantage. and furthe
than this, it believes that the peti
ton of the labor unions should a
least be given respectful considera
ton instead Of being treated wit
contempt, as Mr.. Collins persons
friends have seen fit to treat them
If, however, Mr.. Collins "pull'' wit
certain members is too strong to b
overcome, it is to be regretted. an
the county should certainly be some

a county with court house and brib-
ing a voter with q house and lot. Can
didly, there isn't much difference in
principle between bribery in bulk and
bribery in detail. As matter of fact
and law, the offer of substantial re-
ward to q voter for voting q certain
way, constitutes q criminal offense,
why, then, is not the offer of q large
consideration to the whole people
equally an offense? There doesn't ap-
pear to be much difference, does there :?
BE this as it may, it seems that the
people of Caldwell are DESTROYS of
avoiding anything that has the appear
ance of illegality. They have decided
the court house and grounds to Canyon
county without any provision. They
now have nothing to offer, but an ap-
peal to the commonsense and and bust
ness instincts of Taxpayers. We be
lieve that to locate the county seat else
where than at Caldwell will be an &C:
of foolishness which every taxpayer III
the county will repent in sack CLOTH
and ashes. Think the matter over
calmly without bias or prejudice. Con-
slider your own interests and the public
welfare. Act with justice to yourself
and the rest of tho county and you will
necessarily vote for Caldwell.

Upon . somewhat careful investiga.

pears that Caldwell people have deter
mined that to offer the court house and
grounds to the taxpsyers of the county
proyisioned on their voting for Caldwell
for county seat, would be in the nature
Of bribe and involve criminal viola

that The offers should influence citizens
in the exeroise Of their franchise and in
order to remove any suspicion Of such
design. An sbsolute deed to tho proper
y has been made and delivered 70 the
chairman Of the board Of county COM
missioners. THE TRIBUNE has exam
lined into the present status of the bust
ness and finds that Canyon county is
now the sole and absolute owner of the
court house at Caldwell and the block
of ground upon which it and the Jail and
outbuildings stand. Therefore, SO far
as the property is concerned it makes
not a particle of difference whether the
county seat be located at Caldwell or
elsewhere the people are the owners.

stress on the criminal aspects of this
