AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT.

The midsummer show at Albaugh's still
holds its own with the pleasure-loying public,
as was evidenced by packed house last
night. Whether it is the living pictures or
the vaudeville snow which attract the crowds.
or both, Albaugh's is lodestone for Wash
ington people who seem to appreciate this in
novation in the amusements for summer The
and new programme presented Every
feature was good, and one or two were above
par. The Misses Leach who delighted the
audiences last week with their banjo playing
and singing of negro melodies. gave the man
agement their cue, and for this week Brooks
and Denton, Americas representative
banjoists, are on the boards with
banjo performance that cannot
be excelled. John A. Coleman, who
was with George Thateher's Tuxedo Com
pany last season, was inimitable in a comedy
sketch, all his own. Montague and West
were applauded in little musical skit. en-
titled Way Down in Maine" Monte Collins
and Miss Norma Wills gave an up-to-date
act, entitled Tip Toppers.' which took the
audience. The rest of the show was most
pleasing, and was concluded by the living
pictures. No change has been:made in these
but they are good enough to see a second
Theatergoers who braved the rain last
night to enjoy the stock company's perfor-
nance at the New National were given a
treat. The play presented this week is Will
lam Boyle Bernards farce comedy, His Last
Legs" an amusing two act play that kept
the audience In one continuous roar of
laughter. 1t was preceded by curtain
raiser entitled "a Happy Pair" a dainty bit
of love scene. in which Miss Mary Sanders
and Joseph Wheelock, jr.. were given an op-
portunity to display their talents. Mr.. Fred
erick Bond, as Felix o O'Callaghan, a broken
down Irish gentleman. was the
bright peculiar star OF the evening
He was greeted with long applause at his
first entrance and was the center OF attraction
during the rest of the play. The character
exactly suits him; jovial. fortune-hunting
1rishman. whose substance is wasted and who
has to resort to his wits to earn him birth
hood. The other parts were we'll taken; Mr..
Charles Mackay as the young heir. Charles
Rivers, and Miss Haud Haslum as Mrs. Mon
tague, shared the applause with Mr.. Bond,
and did creditable work.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, THE SENATE
AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The extraordinary relations existing be
tween President Cleveland and certain Demo
cratic Senators are without precedent in
American history. Senator German in hi:
speech yesterday openly accused tho Presi-
dent of double-desling and substantiated his
accusation by the testimony of Senators Har-
ris and Jones. He also asserted that during
the campaign OF 1892 he and Senators Brice
and Smith, acting for the national campaign
committee, pledged Louisiana Democrats
that II the party were successful sugar would
be placed on the dutiable list. Other political
secrets were made public, and from Demo
cratic standpoint, Senator Germans speech is
both interesting and deploraDle.
1t is interesting because it gives an insight
into the ways of politicians; deplorable be-
cause its effect on the Democratic party
will be disastrous unless Democratic platform
pledges are Immediately redeemed.
Tho controversy between President Cleve-
land and the senate should serve as warn
ing to Democrats. II illustrates the methods
of politicians when intrusted with party af-
fairs and the necessity OF standing by party
principles to merit the commendation of
voters. II also clearly defines the cause for
the compromise, trafflcking Senate bill, and
shows the difference between Democrats for
principle and Democrats for policy. The
trouble in framing the tariff bill in both
House and Senate has not been with real
Democrats. but with those who believe in
special privileges for themselves and Democ-
far oil 9TH riF
bill would have long since been out of the
way.
Seventeen Democratic Representatives
voted against the Wilson bill because they
were not granted certain favors, and seven
Senators have brought stigma on the name of
Democracy by insisting upon a departure
from Democratic principles in framing a
tariff law.
Democratic principles are wise or unwise,
beneficial or harmful. according to the way
they are applied, and no Senator or Repre-
sentative can make them beneficial except by
applying them to all classes and sections
alike. Senators Brice. German, and Smith
had no authority to promise protection to
sugar planters. nor has any Democrat right
to accept campaign donations from the sugar
or any other trust with the implied under
standing that the trust would be cared for on
the tariff schedule.
There is yet time for Congress to redeem
itself and give the country Democratic tariff
bill, but there must be no more trading and traf-
ticking in the name of Democracy. President
Cleveland, the Senate, and the House can
come to an agreement if they act as Demo-
Gratis and stand by the instructions given
them by voters. The best advice to be given
now is to read over the party platform and
adhere to its pledges.

The people are none too tolerant OF the

of the popular will has aliennted the people;

CHICAGO. July 23.-An answer was filed to-
day by the attorneys of the officers of the
American Railway Union in the contempt
proceedings in the United States court grow
ing out of the alleged violation OF the Federal
Injunction against interference with the mails
and interstate commerce.
They deny that it was at any time the purpose
and object of the American Railway Union or
OF its officers or directors to concentrate the
power and jurisdiction of the American Rail-
way Union under one official management
and direction. with power to order strikes or
a discontinuance of tine service of such en-
ployes at any time the board of directors of
the American Railway Union should elect TO
do. as alleged in said information or other
wise, and they allege that, by the organiza-
ton of the American Railway Union, strikes
could be declared or discontinued by the vote
OF the majority of the members of such Amer
lean Railway Union employees in the service
affected by any such strike. and that the only
power, authority or Office of the officers or
directors of the American Railway Union, or
of the defendants, or either OF them. in re-
spect to said matter was to notify the men,
bers of the American Railway Union in the
service concerned in such strike action taken
by such majority.
They deny that on the 26th or 9th Of June
last past. or at any other time, the American
Railway Union or its board of directors or

What has become of this immense surplus

for there has been no trade balance in favor
