AT THE THEATERs.

Agnes Wallace Villa and her com
pany opened at the Grand last night in
Harvey's play ''The World Against
Her" The house was crowded: The
play itself is rather on the melodrama
order, with comedy and specialties in
terpolated, which found high favor
with the gallery, and any inconsistent
cies or improbabilities were lost sight
of in the keen appreciation OF some he
roic sentiment nobly expressed. The
three acts, in which the scenes change
often, the characters are made to say
and do things not to be thought OF as
possible in real life. The melodramatic
villain is at the bottom of all the
trouble, and he is very much in evil
dence. He brings disgrace upon pure
girl, and misery to her father, and
breaks up a happy home by casting re

tendency to overdo the part was no
ticeable, he was not really bad. Agnes
Wallace Villa played the part of
Madge Carleton, the workman's wife,
and robbed of her child only to be set
right in the last act by poor, de
luded girl whom she had befriended.
The latter character, Jennie Clegg;
who is the villains mistress, was we'll
played by Saben Deshon. Frank De
Vernon, who was James Carlton, the
foreman of the foundry, had a part
which was calculated to please the up
per part of the house, and his lines gave
him ample opportunity to evoke the
enthusiastic applause from that sec
ton. The juvenile parts were entrust-
ed to- Phil Perkins and Miss Villa, and
were very acceptably filled. There was
some clever dancing by little Mabel,
while Cissy Mills did very we'll as Ned,
little street arab.
There are a number of situations in
the play which appeal to the softer side
of ones nature, and during the progress
of the piece some of the women in the
audience gave way to their feelings.
The transition from a heart-broken

their usual liberality in the matter Of

Whig party, had also its Southern
wing. leading to it's participation in
that fatal compromise In attempting
to swallow which that party choked
to death.
But since the war, the greatness
and the strength of the South have
ceptible both in the house and in the
senate, has come over its policy.
Politicians have taken the place of
statesmen. The regeneration of the
South has drawn into the vocations of
commerce and industrial enterprise
the talent that formerly found vent
in political activity. OF the old
school. none remain. A few old fos-
sils, who neither rise on the one
hand to the rank of statesmen, nor
fall on the other to the grade of
mere politicians, are the nearest ap-
proach in the present senate and
house to the craftsmanship of the
ante-bellum South.
Gov. Evans, therefore, is looking
backward to a condition that has
ceased to exist, and will not be re-
vived as long as the South chooses
for her representatives men like
those now in congress from his own
and neighboring states. Tillman and
Irby cannot take the place of Cal
houn or Pinckney, and Livingston is
a poor substitute for Ben Hill. The
average of Southern representation
today is low, and not until it rises
will that section exercise predom-
mating influence in national councils.

MAN WITH A PAST.
How the Glory of Some Women
Was the UndOing of Harry
Smith

How the Glory of Some Women
Was the Undoing of Harry
Smith.
Officer Twohy proved to Harry
Smith last night that Harry is a
man with past, and that the past
will not stay in the remoteness where
it belongs. Harry is said to take adj
vantage of his fellow man, and when
Officer Twohy saw him at Robert and
Seventh streets just before II o'clock
last night with a stranger, the officer
prayed in his heart of hearts for the
strangers welfare. Harry was walk
ing in a straight line, but the stran-
ger swayed visibly. The couple en-
tered the Richelieu. TWohy follow
ed few minutes later and saw that
Harry had registered for the stran-
ger the latter's name, J. M. Keeler.
Soon Harry came down and sent out
for whisky.
Not long afterwards Harry left the
Richelieu, entered Filber's saloon
nearby and tried to change some
large bills. Twohy saw the unsuccess-
full attempt. The officer at once
sought Mr.. Keeler's room and awoke
the latter. Keeler said he was a rail-
road man. He also said, after looking
about, that he had been robbed of his
vest and of four five-dollar bills.
Twohy sought Harry at Filber's,
missed him, but discovered him at the
fremont house, where he was just Sc
curing silver for two five-dollar bills.
He was asked to accompany his
friend Keeler to the central station.
There Officer Twohy charged Smith
with larceny. Keeler will appear
against Smith in the municipal court
this morning.

ARMENIANS IN DISTRESS.
After Results of the Horrible Out
RACES.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec Il, via
Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 15.-The French
guardship Faucon has arrived here
in accordance with the permission
granted by the sultan upon the demand
Of the powers, and has Joined the En-
glish gunboat Dryad, the Italian war
vessel Archimede and the Austrian
gunboat Sebenico, which arrived dur
ing the week.
The secondary effects of the out
RACES perpetrated upon Armenians in
the months past are seen in the ad-
vices now being received from Ana
tolia, which dwell upon the terrible
distress existing everywhere. A thou
sand fugitives have taken refuge in
Black sea ports, where they remain
in a deplorable condition.
The Kurds continue to pillage the
Armenian villages without opposition
from the helpless inhabitants or from
the authorities. During the last three
weeks 160 villages have been sacked
and seventy men killed.
Several villages in the Armenian dis
trict of Haisalsor have been laid waste.
The village of Lamasguird has been
raided four times in one week.
The authorities make no attempt
whatever to put a stop to the Kurdish
raids or to punish the perpetrators of
them. 1t is feared that the inhabitants
| of numbers of villages who have fed
through fear of threatened outrage
and have taken refuge at inaccessible
points in the mountains will perish
during the severe weather of the WIN
ter, which is now coming on. The Ar
menians are in a state or utter de-
spair over their situation.
The massacres of Armenians in Kai-
sirich and TalasS lasted for three days.
All kinds of eXcesses are perpetrate6
upon the Inhabitants. The scenes which
are daily enacted are too horrible to al
low of description. The survivors Of
these maSSacreS are compelled either to
adopt Islam or be killed.
The ambassadors of the powers here
are finding that it is useless to address
communications to the Porte on this
subject, as the sultan is convinced that
the European concert is a mere feint.
Although the immediate cause of the
recent widespread panic here was the
quarrel between two ArmenianS, it now
appears that wholesale attack upon
all the Armenians in the city, looking
to an determination, was really pro-
jected on that day. The attack was TO
commence at II o'clock in the morning.
but the plan was frustrated by the
state of alarm and excitement created
by the quarrel between two ArmenianS,
which served as a warning to the other
ArmenianS in the city, and caused
them to take refuge in their houses.
Several conflicts between Armenians
and MusSulmanS are known to have
taken place last evening in various
parts of the city, but great secrecy Is
maintained on the subject by the au-
thorities, and no details are obtainable.

CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM.
Rev. w. Wilkinson Would Do
Ayyay With Worldly Strife.

Away With Worldly Strife.
Last night Rev. William Wilkinson
preached in the Church of the Good
Shepherd on socialism. He said that
there are many very great and oppres-
sive evils eXtant under the present sys-
tenn is a fact that no able and honest
man will for an instant deny. 1t has
even been said that there are some fla
grant sins in highly civilized nations
more degrading than any practiced by
the heathen; that socialism, which
seeks to destroy the present social con-
ditions root and branch, is not reform,
it is destruction; it is not Improvement,
it is anarchy. Such socialism is not
what we want or what the world needs.
we do need and all good men de-
sire better social state of things than
that now existing.
The socialism which is Christian
looks upon man in his entirety and uni
versatility as a brotherhood And why?
Because he has common maker and
Father, whose name is God. This is
not all. The socialism which is Chris
tan is such that the relationship of
brotherhood is not only acknowledged,
way. No man is in social realm,
where Christ is king, left to ask: Am
/ my brothers keeper?" He knows
full well that he is. In this realm
tnere Is no ndfu, SELFISH, Ciuei, Siliu-
ing tyranny, as there is no idleness and
mob law Christian socialism would
abolish the contempt of the rich for the
poor and the hate of the poor for the
rich; it would do away with at least
eight-tenths of the poverty there is in
the world. and that which was left
would be so honorable and so well
provided for that it would be respect
ed, and even honored, as giving to
the aff1uent something to do for man
and for God. We hear it said the gos-
pei is a failure. I reply I have never
yet seen a city, town or village where
it has had a fair trial. Show me one
such and L will show you place where
life so nearly resembles heaven that
there is no need of death to show the
soul the glory of that happy place.

whom we have mentioned have ac-
quired so powerful a hold upon the
Republican organizations that is the
significant thing, but the fact that
them. They are the acknowledged
leaders. Men of character, men of
principle, men of convictions, are
satisfied to sit down under the dier
tation of these most unscrupuloGsi
bosses, and to lend themselves To-
the carrying out of their will. In
the best days Of the Republican,
party it was characterized by a spirft.
of independence that made the tenure
of bosses uncertain, and placed a
limit beyond which machine rule
could not go without a spirited res
sistance. Today all is smooth speak,
ing, apology and subservience. ,,,.
This is the difference between IA
state of vigor and a state of decay
With all it's recent successes, and
the great majorities that it has re-
ceived from unthinking people, the
condition of Republicanism now is
the most hopeless in it's history. 1t
is given over to evil forces without
a protest 1t has lost the ability to
resist the most insidious and fatal
form of political disease. 1t is a
prey to the adventurer and the
spokesman, and dare not so much as
utter cry for help. No party that
is dominated by the influences to
which the Republican organization
has willingly succumbed can long
retain the respect or command the
support of the American people.

Clerks Are Barred.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The off
cials governing the conduct of the press
galleries of the house and senate have
adopted a rule that will exclude from
the privileges of these galleries all
legislative as we'll as executive clerks.
Clerks to members and senators not
chiefly engaged in newspaper work are
those who are affected. The prospect
Of applications from many clerks who
depend on their salaries from members
for living, but who would represent
provincial papers, was the prime object
in the adoption of the rule. The gal
leries are always crowded, and a limit
had to be fixed.

QUIT RAISING STATESMEN.

Gov. Evans, the Populist governor
of South Carolina, at the Atlanta
exposition the other day said in ef-
feet that the South would again con-
is true that, from the foundation of
the government to the period of the
civil war, Southern statesmen were
potential in directing the course of
government. This was due to sew
eral causes, some of which arose out
of the institution Of slavery, but
the main cause, perhaps indirectly
affected by slavery, was that in the
councils of the nation the South pre-
dominated intellectually. 1t was not
that there was greater degree of
mentality in the South than in the
North, but that the mental activities
of the North ran in commercial and
other directions, while in the South
they found their main, if not their
only, opportunity in politics.
The institution of slavery brought
with it leisure for the. study of those
questions with which governments
are concerned. So it was inevitable,
when these questions came up for
consideration, that the better infor-
nation and the better public train
ing Of Southern men We're influential
and determinative. Then, too, it
was the policy of the South to carry
out the idea of the trainers Of the
constitution who anticipated that the
people would elect for their senators
| and representatives their ablest men,
Ability, not wealth or craftiness in
political manipulation, was the key
that opened the door to political pre-
| ferment in the South. What measure
of control the South had, therefore,
| in the affairs of the nation prior to
| the civil war was due almost wholly
to the intellectual strength of the
men who represented her in the SEN
ate and in the house.
In the period Immediately preced-
ing the war, however, when the in
stitution Of slavery was assailed from
the North, control of public affairs by
the South was almost wholly the re-
suit Of the support Of the Northern
contingent of Democrats, moved
more by the purpose Of retaining
party control than by belief in the
position assumed by the Southerners

this alliance. Their opponent, the

MORE WASTED COUNSEL.

The Chicago Tribune is evidently
apprehensive that the "do-nothing"
policy is the one which will prevail
during this session Of congress. 1t
can members, as indicated by their
various interviews, of the recon-
mendations of the president in his
message, and says: "Some of the Re-
publican members declare this: The
president has asked for only one
thing. We will not grant him that
thing. We will not give him any
thing he has not asked for because
he may reject it. Therefore, we will
go home to meet the applause of our
constituents
1t tells them if that is all they
propose to do ''they will meet exc
crations instead of applause" 1t adj
vises them that, the president to the
contrary Notwithstanding the real
trouble is a deficiency in the revenue,
and that their simple duty is to pro-
vide legislation to protect the gold
reserve and to provide revenue.
But when it comes to the consider
alton of either one of these tasks
which the Tribune sets before them,
there will be as great a variety Of
opinion as to ways and means as
there now appears to be as to what
they are going to do: How will they
protect the gold reserve?" Mr.. Reed
is credited with having in mind the
authorization of~the secretary of the
this will be~a rebuke to those of his
compatriots who have been lashing
the president for borrowing money.
1t means doing the absurd thing the
president pictured in his message of
borrowing money to pay debt that
will remain unpaid after all. The
very counsel given by the Tribune
shows that it contemplates some
thing beside retiring the greenbacks;
for the moment that policy is adopt
ed there will be no gold reserve to
protect. So the injunction is to con-
tinue the endless chain if the national
debt has to mount to wartime fig
ures to do it.
But the discord would be greater
when it came to providing revenue.
The Tribune would have them in
crease the tax on beer, but the brew
ing interests have already shown
their teeth at this proposition, and
there are enough members apprehen-
sive of their wrath to prevent that.
There will be those who will insist
still that protective tariff provides
and increases revenue in spite of the
experience under the tariff of 80.
There will be those others who repre-
sent the larger business interests who
do not care to have the present ad-
justment disturbed by another gen
era1 revision increasing rates, and
these will throw cold water upon that
scheme. Looking at the position
from every side, there is every proba-
bility that the Fifty-fourth congress
will go home to meet the "eXecra-
tions of the people" instead of their
applause.

MISSIONARIES SAFE.
Minister TerreIDs Demand for
Their Protection Accedcd To.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 15, via
Sofia, BuIgaria.-Much relief is felt to-
day among the friends of American
missionaries over the news that has
just been received by United States
Minister Terrell from Aintab, Bitlis,
Kharput, Marsovan, Kaisarich (Cae-
saera) and Talass. and which contains
assurances that the missionaries at
those points are safe. They are under
the protestion of Turkish troops, in ac-
cordance with the peremptory demand
made upon the porte by Minister Ter
rell. The reports to Mr.. Terrell from
these points, although they give COM
forting assurances that no harm has
thus far come to the missionaries, state
that serious danger still exists. and
convey the impression that the fear
of further outbreaks IS by no means
past. Word has also been received
that the American ladies at Hadjin are
safe.

Bitlis says that the illness of Mr.. Rey-
