NEWLANDS' POSITION.

Congressman Newlands explains
in a letter to a Washington paper,
why the Silver party Of Nevada was
organized, and says it should be
maintained until the Republican
party becomes national, instead OF
sectional, or the Democratic party
rejects further alliance with New
York which thus far controls Its
financial actions; or third party,
whether under the name of the Peo-
Piles party or some ne ' name, pre-
sents to the people but two issues
freedom from financial dependence
freedom from industrial dependence
upon England and other foreign
countries. Until then and until
some great national party shall have
the courage and wisdom to make the
silver question its chief issue, ne
asks to be characterized as member
of the Silver party of Nevada.

CIGARETTE SMOKING.

Notwithstanding the law agaln'
the sale Of cigarettes and cigarette
paper, the smoking of the vile hte
DESTROYER continues IL this city, and
in fact the consumption of cigarettes
is increasing all the time.
1t is a waste of time trying to con-
vince boys that the pernlcious haoit
is injurious to their constitution; they
won't believe that, boys who smoke
cigarettes haven't the good sense and
manliness to give this amy consliera-
ton whatever.
The only way to do is to put to-
bacco out of their reach, which is
next to impossible, or pass an ordl'
nance making it misdemeanor fol
any boy under certain age to smoke
a cigarette, and make it an Object
for people to inform against them.
The APPEAL don't see any Other
way to do. There appears to be ne
obstacle in the way of procuring
paper and cigarettes; then why no
pass an ordinance prohibiting th'
smoking of them!

THINGS DRAMATIC.

An important theatrical event is the coming Of Pauline Hallto this city Satur- day at matinee and night at O'Brien' 's, presenting for the first time here new and great success, the operatic comedy 'Dor- cas, ' which was especially written for her by Harry Panlton, well known in the world of dranatists by his clever work as the author of aErminie, ,'' "Niobe,' '' etc.
 "Dorcas,' which is in three acts, has been accorded universal praise, both from Il dramatic and operatic standpoint. Its origin is'founded on an old German source. In writing it Mr. Paulton, so as to allow more stage coloriDg and give more anima- tion to the scenes, has transferred them to appear Tn England, the scene of action oc- curing i n the seventeenth century.
 It is said to be literally supplied with de- lightful, charming and pretty airs, all of which are in direct keeping with the re- fined story told in comedy by Mir. Paulton.
 Miss Hail finds much congeniality in the roles assumed, which are three in number, her role calling upon her to appear first disguised as a jolly young peddler boy, then as Dorcas and lastly as Lady Honoria.
 AgreAt company is supporting Miss Hall in the artistic following of Jeanette St. Henry. Kate Davis, J. Aldrich Libbey, William Frederick. Charles H. Bradshaw, Charles Meyer, etc.

KATIE EMMETT.

"Killarney'' is the name of romantic drama that has been given handsome production, with scenery that is copied from celebrated Irish landscapes and start- ling effects, and which will be presented by Katie Emmett, the charming comedienne, at O9Brien s opera house Monday night, the 31st Instant.
 "Killaruey'' tells pretty story of life among the lower and middle classes of lre- land of the period of 178l-s5, an epoch filled with dramatic incidents or the most thrilling character. In the narration of the story coherence and interest are not lost by the Introduction of extraneous in cidents. There are several sensational cli- maxes, Illustrated by realistic effects, but they belong to the narrative.
 4 The heroine, Kittie Burke, imperson- ated by Miss Emmett, is an orphan and the rigbtful heiress 10 a large estate. Mar tin Kavanaugh, former partner of her father, having been given the estate to hold in trust for her, yields 10 the solicita- tions of his daughter, Judith, who is am. bilious to become the mistress of the es- tate, and turns Kittie and her grandmother out oi doors on the pretense that Kittie's 8 father and mother were never married, aud that therefore she is not legally the heir ess. He takes possession of the property himself and installs his daughter as mis- tress. Kittie surmises that she has been trcked, and disguises herself as simple minded gossoon, enters the service of Kav- aUaugh, obtains papers from his strong box tt at establish her right to the property, and with. the aid of some good friends finally secures recognition of her rights A tbrilling 2 leap for life by Kittie across the black waters of tho Devils pool, in escap ping from murderous scamp, who has been set pou her track by Kavanaugh, is one oi the sensational effects.
