Manager Daley will, this week,
send to the clergymen of this city
invitations to attend that popular
play, " Saints and Sinners" to be
given at the Opera House next
week, Tuesday. No play has been
more caustically commented upon
by the press and clergy of the
United States than this one, and
Mr.. Daley wishes all those who
question the influence of the stage,
and its right to depict morality and
immortality regardless of partici-
pants to witness this piece.

JAPAN AND COREA.
Minister KurinO Makes n Statement
I'm Regard to the New Treaty.

MIR. Kurino. the Japanese minister. has
made a statement in regard to the new
treaty between Japan and Corea. in which
he says: There has existed in Corea, I'M

system of government known. The con-
slant intrigues of China there have been

csc government has desired the settlement
Of this question only for the peace of the
east. 1t has been entirely without expec-
tation of territorial aggrandizement or ex-
ercise of suzerainty over Corea-
with the assurance of autonomy to
Corea, which is the design of this treaty.
there will be opportunity for great i'm
provements in her system of government,
internal administration and other affairs. I"
Mr.. Kurino said he did not think the
treaty could be called a step toward
peaceful settlement with China, as China
was tenacious, on sentimental grounds. of
her claim of suzerainty. China might, he
said. have put an end to the difficulties be-
fore now by conserving TO some improve
ments in Corean affairs.
The Improvement in government institu-
tions in Corea would, he admitted, require
foreign advisers and couuselors, and these
eigners.
"Corea, under the inadequate govern
ment that China gives her." he said lis
weak, and Osher governments such as
Russia, are constantly threatening TO come
in and seize a portion of her territory and
thus cause war in the east. A guarantee of
her autonomy will guard against this All
the great powers will be interested togeth-
er in prot acting her from outside attacks"

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Various Deductions by New York
Editors.


From the New York Herald.
There is nothing strange that a highly
protected New England state, which has
30 long reaped annually many millions of
dollars exacted from less favored sister
states. should be solid" against progress
sive tariff reform, which would equalize
burdens and gradually put an end to the
stupendous robbery of tariff taxation.
The solidity of Maine for a revival of
this system Of wholesale piundering of the
people for the benefit of manufacturing
trusts and favored classes ought to rouse.
and, IL mistake not will rouse every
patriot i'm the land to redoubIe his efforts
10 give the finishing blow to every form of
Mckfnieyism and its newborn progeny
Gormanism. No people fit for freedom will
let these monsters survive.
From the New York Sun.
The state election there on Monday was a
more sensational demonstration than the
national election of 1882 1t was more I'M
usual in its character and more revolution
airy in its indications. 1t shows a feeling
on the part of the republicans in one of the
oldest states of the Union that there exists
a reason for an extraordinary protest
against the politics ruling at Washington
and on the part of the democrats humil-
iating confession that they cannot say no to

From the New York Times.
The elections in Maine and Vermont are
the expression of the feeling Of thinly
settled communities. largely rural. as to the
immediate past, which has not been cheer
fut or encouraging. The republicans stuck
closely to their own ticket. The democrats
were divided and showed evidence of the
discomfort. net to say disgust, aroused by
the treachery in the Senate. This is par

SCHOOLS AT ARMY POSTS.
1 Probable Recommendation That
They BE Abolished by Congress.

a subject that will undoubtedly be con-
sidered in the next annual report of the Sec
ietary of War is the proposed abolition of
schools at the different army posts. against
which many complaints have been made.
1t is claimed by some that the post schools
have been failures. Many of the enlisted
men object to attending the schools for the
reason that IL advertises their ignorance.
These schools are established by law and
cannot be abolished without action On the
part Of Congress They are. however. p-ac-
tically unnecessary under the new law,
which provides that no one shall be admit
ted to the ranks unless he is able to speak,
read and write the English language. OF
course. when there were many men in the
army who could not understand English
some means were necessary TO supply them
with proper instruction, but it is said that
this necessity no longer exists, and that the
post schools can be abolished with perfect
safety.
