FIELDS COLUMBIAN MINsTRELs TONIGHT.
Fields Columbian Minstrels will be at
the Opera house tonight. The Fitchburg
Sentinel speaking of their performance
there April 10th says.
"Al G. Fields and his large company of
excellent artists gave the most varied and
most enjoyable minstrel entertainment wit
messed in this city for a long time. 1t may
have been equalled but it has never been
excelled. The curtain went up revealing a
superb setting and the performers arranged
in an artistic group. The whole perform
ance was novel and first-class in every re-
spect.
In the first part entitled "The Bivouac'
John Whalen, the boy drum major, gave
an exhibition of his skill with the baton
that received most enthusiastic encore
Will Walling, the lyric tenor who sang
"Baby on the Wall" in beautiful form, and
A. NJ. Thatcher, the eminent basso, who
rendered Pearls" carried the audience
by storm AMI round after round of ap-
plause called them back for repetition
Iloran and Clarke also made decided hit
in Horan's original creation, 'Trying to be
English, you know," and what is also singu-
lar the funny men actually got off number
of new jokes.
The Alverez family in their musical
creation the "Barbers of Seville" gave an
unique entertainment which greatly
pleased and was warmly applauded The
tableau of Washington crossing the Della
ware" was remarkably fine, and aroused
the utmost enthusiasm. Napier and Mar
zello, the English grotesque acrobats, are
the finest ever seen here and their perfor-
nance is A |. Cradoc, the king OF axes,
and f. M. Hall the man who plays the BAN
in, with the "Barber's Picnic" closes an
entertainment which for originality and eX-
cellencc cannot be surpassed.

rhe New Jersey Infamy.


Az he election in November last the
people OF New Jersey elected a leglsla-
ture Republican in both branches. In
tho senate the Democrats have ten
members, the Republicans eleven The
Democrats have a majority OF the hold
over senators, and in this they saw .
chance for mischief.
Nine ilold-over senators are Demo-
Gratis, four Republicans. The nine
hold-ovcr Democrats set up the theory
that the senate is a continuing body IN
which the hold-overs are the senate un-
til the newcomers are let in, and that
this body SO constituted is to pass on
the credentials OF men presenting GER
tifcates of election.
So they got together by themselves
on this basis, with their old presiding
officer in tho chair, and this racetrack
servant announced that three OF the Re
publican scnators-elcct would have to
run the gauntlet of q special committee
OF his appointing before they could take
their seats. 1t is important to know
LDuG IIlSSe SeULS axe Y
Among the Republican senators-elec
is Mr.. Bradley, of Asbury Park. The
Democrats concocted q scheme to de-
prive Mr.. Bradley OF his seat. Ills
Democratic competitor at tho polls
said that.Mr. Bradley was fairly elected
and entitled to his eeat, and this honor
able Democrat would take nc part in
the conspiracy. But this did not mat
ter to the conepirators. They were 60
ing to shut out MIR. Bradley anyhow,
for they were to be the judges in the
case. Democrats tocked to themselves,
Republicans to themselves, and there
are now two bodies claiming to be the
senate OF New Jersey.
The house acts with the Republican
body. Together they have begun the
repeal of the infamous racetrack leglsla-
ton, which aroused the people and
made tho legislature Republican. The
bills as they pass will go the Demo
cratic governor, and it will be interest
ing to see how he will treat them.
Thus far the governor has given the
rump Democratic senate all the recog-
milton he can. He seoms to be up to
his ears in the scheme. New Jersey is
often said in jest to be out of the Uuited
States. Her Democratic senators seem
to think that their state is somewhere
in South America.

Under the head of "Some Encourage
ing Symptoms" the New York Journal
OF Commerce OF Thursday OF this week
thought there was evidence that 1.-THE
people rs a whole have been eating rs
much food as ever, and have not been
going without new clothes and other
n IiGes OF necessity and comfort" II
it be true that two millions OF wage
earners are out of employment it GER
tainly cannot be that their eNpendi-
lures for articles OF necessity and com.
fort are up to the normal level. II this
estimated number OF tho unemployed
be excessive, it is within everybody's
observation that Il great many who live
by their daily labor are out OF work. 1t
is equally we'll known that of these
very many are living in whole or in
part on charity. Tho people as 4 whole
have not been spending as much money
as over for food and clothing and other
things which they ordinarily buy.
Inc Journal OF Commtrc! of Yesterday,
under the head of "Imports tor Novem-
ber-Are People Economiaing?" speaks
in u different vein. Tho article
is written il Wow of the re-
port OF the bureau OF statistics for
tho month Of November, which shows q
heavy fall in customs receipts. The
decrease in food imports attracts the
special attention of the Journal OF Com
snefce, suggesting "the disposition OF the
people to economics in articles which
can be spared: p and finally that "the
people az a rule have turned their at
9ention seriously to e~conomizing, as we'll
in articles Of tho most general use as in
Injuries" The newspaper from which
we quote is frank enough to say that
.'the decrease in materials free OF duty
gives additional emphasis to tho lesson"
The fnct is that retrenchment is the
order OF the day People without
money and without credit must re-
trench. The depression and tho uncer-
tainty rs to the future have induced re-
t%renchment in families that have both
money and credit. The practice of
economy is precisely what is to be ex-
pectod undcr the circumstances. There
is nothing strange about it. It would
be strange ii it were otherwise.
