aLady Windermerers Fan" did not
draw as large a house at the Grand Sat
urday night as was expected, nor as It
deserved The company Is one Of FrOh-
mans good ones, and the play itself is q
splendid one. A good many people VIII o
attended the play Saturday night have a
much better opinion of Oscar Wnde's
ability as writer and philosopher than
they ever entertained before The
dialogue Is particularly bright, and for
the most part was in competent hands.
The tone of the piece, while Mr. Wilde
undoubtedly endeayOred to teach a moral,
carries very little moral with it. At times
the piece is suggestive to an unpleas ant
degree, though bright and probably an
exact representation of the manner in
which the present English aristocracy
behaves itself unham Dered by conscience.
The company is an evenly balanced one
and the presentation undoubtedly gave
general satisfaction. Miss DIV er, in the
role Of Mrs Erlynne the adventures, is
bright. vivacious and piquant Her work
is done with a vim and made very good
impression the audience. Miss Gill
wary as Lady Windermere, is undoubt-
eddy a good actress. but her work of Sat
urday night lacked naturalness to some
degree
The mere men in the cast had little to
do and seemed to have been entirely for
gotten by the author.
Altogether the entertainment was good
and should have better house tonight

The Congressional Race.

Hon. r. P. Hunter, who was in
Colfax this week, informed us that
he was not, has not been, in the
present Congressional race. Mr..
E. G. Hunter, who was also here
on legal business, was in our sane
tum when the news was received of
the decision to nominate by pri-
mary election. He Immediately
authorized US to state that he was
not q candidate under the rules
adopted, that it is undsmocratic, in
that the candidate so elected was
pledged to nothing at all.
This narrows the race down to a
very small circle. In fact, 80 far
as Grant is concerned, we have mo
official information that any other
candidate is in the field except
Judge Hall.

Judge Hall for Congress.

The announcement of Judge w.
P. Hall, as a candidate for Con-
gress, will be found in this paper.
He states his position on the vital
questions of the hour with distinct
ness and decision, and on them all
is in direct sympathy with the
people of the district. He stands
upon the Democratic platform,
and holds himself subject to the
nomination Of the party. He is
for the free coinage of silver, the
repeal of the tax on State banks,
the income tax, the anti-option bill,
and tariff for revenue only. Per-
sonally he favors nominations by
primary election, and is altogether
in line with the demand that the
will of the people be recognized in
all things.

the present government has chop
ped off the heads of thousands of
fraudulent pensioners, and the
edict has gone forth that the PEN
sion roll shall be a roll of honor.
Nor does this list by and means
complete the measures of reform
introduced and passed by the pres
ent Democratic administration,
which is being SO vigorously de-
nounced by small fry politicians.
Well may the Texas Wide-Awake,
in its able comments on this subject,
deplore such foolish and hurtful
action. 1t is high time for Demo-
crafts to stop croaking. The Third
Party calamity howlers have full

WAsHIN0TON. ID. u, March H. 1874.
Well, the expected has happen
ed. The Senate has passed the
Bland bill for the coinage of the
seignorage in the Treasury. with
out amendment, and the measure
is now in the hands of President
Cleveland. It was we'll known that
when this matter was first preached
the President thought it an unwise
step to take and 30 stated to men,
bers of Congress, but he has been
careful to express no opinion since
the bill has been pending in Con-
gress, and now those who are Hsu-.
ally well informed express the be-
lief that the President will, in de-
ference to the large number of
Democrats who voted for the bill
in both House and Senate, allow
the bill to become law without
his signature, thus giving them
the benefit of the doubt in his mind
as to the wisdom of the bill.
1t is gratifying to note that the
Democrats in Congress have at last
realized the benefit of united party
action. No man in Congress has q
right to expect that every measure
he is called on to support will be
entirely In accord with his personal
ideas. Ifevery member of Congress
should adopt that idea legislation
of any sort would be impossible.
Representative Tucker, of Vir-
ginia, is happy. His joint resolu-
ton providing for an amendment
to the Constitution authorizing
the election of Senators by direct
vote of the people will be favora-
bly, reported to the House.

In Behalf of the Veterans.

Gen. Geo. o. Watts, commander OF the
Louisiana division OF the United Con-
federate Veterans, has issued the follow
ing letter to the police juries Of the vari-
GUS parishes of the State:
As commander of tho Louisiana divis
ion Of the Confederate Veterans, con-
isder it duty that / owe to the MANNED
and disabled soldiers, and q duty that l
owe to you. as representative bodies OF
the various parishes, to appeal to you for
aid for the Soldiers' Home, located in
New Orleans. / feel confident that You
will make an appropriation for this sa-
cred purpose; that your action would be
approved by your constituents, and for
which you would receive the gratitude OF
those you aid, as well as of every Con-
federate soldier. The parishes OF Rapides
and Vermilion have already made appro-
priations, and l appeal to you to aid In
the same liberal manner.
The government Of the United States
aids and provides for its disabled soldiers.
Let us help ours. Respectfully yours.
Gro. o. Warns,
Maj. Gen1. Comm'd'g La. Div.
The number Of inmates in the Soldiers
Home has been considerably increased OF
late. and as the appropriation from the
State was already inadequate, and cannot
be increased in time to meet their pres
emit needs, this urgent appeal is made by
Gen. Watts to the parishes. Since this
letter was written several of the parishes
have responded in amounts varying from
$50 to $3.50, and we trust Grant viii feel
it incumbent to add her contribution for
this worthy cause.

Inc fNecOrU speaks 1Or lISelIs
It has become extremely fashion
able for number of so-called Dem
ocratic papers to engage in adverse
and condemnatory criticisms of Mr..
Cleveland and the Democratic Con-
gress which has just now complet-
ed its first half year of Legislative
service. In common with Repub-
lican and Populite opposers OF
Democratic measures, they say that
nothing has been done, and that
nothing will be done to redeem the
party pledges made to the people.
This is not only unreasonable and
unjust, but totally untrue.
There never was a time in the
history of this nation when as much
overturning and complete upsetting
of existing laws has been witness.
ed, as has occurred within the last
six months. In truth, the steady
progress made is something won
derful, when one stops to consider
the huge and wealthy enterprises
antagonized, and the many varied
and conflicting interests that have
had to be consulted and harmonic
ed. It has truly been a battle of
the giants, and in all the struggle
Democracy, like Justice, has stood
with the scales evenly balanced, and
only the true interest of the public
veal has been held to the front.
The Democratic party is fulfill
ing its pledges with all reasonable
promptness. Twenty-Five years of
Republican law-making is not to
be undone in day, and yet we will
venture the prediction that not
twenty-five months will have pass
ed before all the pledges of the
party have been fully met. Here
is the record up to date to prove
our forecast:
The Democratic platform de-
manded the repeal of the Sherman
silver law, and a Democratic adj
ministration has met the demand.
The platform demanded the use
of both gold and silver, without
any discrimination against either
metal, or charge for mintage, but
the dollar units of coinage of both
metals must be of equal intrinsic
and erchangeable ua1ue, to be ad-
justed through International agree
ment." And, in spite of all the
venom of Republican silver Kings,
Populite pettifoggers, and Demo-
cratic kickers, this administration
has quietly arranged for a national
congress to settle the question.
The platform declared in favor
of both metals as standard money.
The Voorhees, bill, provides this;
and, to show their faith and zeal
in the matter, Democratic Con-
gress has passed the Bland seign--
forage bill, by which $55, 100000
seigniorage now in the U. s. minis,
and sl53, O0O, 900 bulk bullion, is to
be added to the silver now in cir
culation in the country.
The platform demanded the re-
peal of the Federal election law,
and Democratic administration
has done this.
The platform demanded a revis-
ion of the tariff, and the repeal of
the Mckinley Law. A Democratic
Congress has passed a law which
does this, and is a long stride to-
ward "a tariff for revenue only"
The platform demanded an eco
nomical administration of govern
mental affairs. The present Demo-
cratic administration is being run
at an average Of seven thousand
dollars per month less than the
preceding administration, with the
prospect of still greater economy
