Keith,s Great Business Tb,. Week.

Never has the patronage at Keith's OPP
era House been as large as this week thus
far. Davis and Keogh's new drama, by
Scott Marble, "The Sidewalks OF New
York, - with Speedy, the champion diver
of the world, In his 50foot dash from
a shot tower, the astonishing performing
bear, the Tenderloin coon, Craps the
Bowery bum and pseudo detective, "Sher-
lock, all these picturesque features, to-
gether with the grand new scenery, faith
ful in every detail, have attracted audi
ences that have literally packed the popu-
lar tbeater i'm every part and, indeed, to
overfiowipg. Indications now point to
the current week being the greatest tinan-
ciaI success in the history OF the house
since Mr.. Keith has had control.

WARD INTEREST.

We commend the action OF the fifty-two
citizens OF Wards and q who attended
a meeting OF the Blackstone Improvement
Society to discuss "Faithfui Municipal
Representation, In passing resolutions
looking to "putting in the field at the
forthcoming municipal election tickets
for members OF the City Council, who
will faithfully serve as embers thereof. {"
We should like to see an awakening OF
political interest among the taxpayers OF
every ward in the city. We think good
deal OF the rnurky atmosphere, the smoke
from a great deal Of broadside mouth
shooting, that hangs over our municipal
politics would be cleared IL citizens would
meet and freely and fully discuss matters
ana look to their caucusses and their can
didates.
In Wards 1 and 2, the job OF "putting
in the field tickets for members OF the City
council, who Will faithfully serve az mem.
bers thereof" ought not to be difficult,
providing the present incumbent are
willing to again be candidates. Both
these wards are fortunate in the high
character and ability for municipal work
possessed by their present representation,
as well as the prestige as leaders Of affairs
that they have won. We suggest that a
resolution OF Endorsement at the next
meeting OF the Blackstone improvement
Society would meet with the approval OF
a majority OF the citizens OF thess wards,
and 90 far toward carrying into ensct the
resolution adopted last evening.

INDIGNANT AND INGENIOUS.

Now, Mr.. RArHBoNE GARDNER, we
think a good deal of you. You used to
be reckoned a man who never stopped
over. but we will not go back so far as
that. We think a good deal of you now
You are good to look upon. You dress
well, not ostentatiously, but with attrae-
tive neatness and simplicity. You do not
smoke cigarettes, we believe. You are ell
oquent OF speech and we like to hear you
talk, quite regardless of the kind of ideas
you express And though you have now
put on the aspect OF indignation 1t does
not mar your outward appearance. You
amaze us by wearing your indignation
with the same unrufiied front that has
ever distinguished you. You remind us
OF complacent kline chewing the cud OF
contentment still content upon striking
a piece OF plug tobacco in tho cud. We
are pleased that your nature has not
changed. even though you breathe the fire
and birthstone OF indignation.
Now, Mr.. AMAsA NJ. EATON, we think
lots OF you, too. We know you we'll as
man possessed OF no small vices except the
kodak habit. You are born to indigna-
tion. Indignation is bred in your bone
and radiates from your whisKers. We
like your disposition TO fire up at the
slightest provocation. Steam is never low
in your boilers. You are always ready
to clear decks for action aud fire broad
side. We admire your spirit and We
not infrequently agree with you in its
promptlngs.
Now, Mr.. GARDNER and Mr.. EATON,
respected and esteemed fellow citizens,
we have offered you these assurances Of
our distinguished consideration as a
preface to make it clear TO you that in
asking one question we do so without
prejudice or desire to gibe and gimbel
at you.
In ell frankness, friendliness and sin
certify, then, DO you think it the better
part OF modesty or good taste to face your
fellow citizens and tell them that the
Common Councilinen Of our day and pc
riod are Ear below the standard that you
| set when you were Councilmen?
We are not prepared to affirm that
what you say is not so. But wouldn t
it be more satisfactory all around to have
someone else say so2 Or are you weary
with long waiting for someone else to
say so?
On general principles we should suggest
that you be as indignant as you please
but don't, please don't, be so ingenious

These figures are mighty interesting to
any one who cares for facts They show
that, while the trolley company had in
creased It's facilities for carrying passen-
gers 72 per cent. in two years, the daily
srnings of the road had only increased All
per cent, and while the receipts had in
creased All per cent, the receipts per car
mile run had decreased 1o7 per cent.
They show an increase in service-from
2515 to 3i9i average daily trlps-that Is
calculated to amaze most OF us. And, OF
course, there is corresponding increase
in seating capacity available.
Evidently the Union Railroad Company
is not failing in its trust, and has by no
means been behind the demands OF the
public. On the contrary, the trolley cor
poration has kept constantly ahead Of
those demands in many respects, urgent
as they have been, and ridiculousiy short

OF certain cordial sentiments relative to
the position taken by our brother editor,
Rev. JOHN HALE LARRY, In the matter
OF the transfer OF the newspaper he had
established and promoted to a building
owned by a gentleman who brews ale,
we are shocked at a report brought TO us
to the effect that Brother LARRY himself
makes his residence in house owned

his estates to liquor dealers. Can this
be true?

GEN. MAHONr.

1t is not likely that General MAHoNE's
death will have much effect on Virginia
politics. At least it seems to us that his
power had passed with his advancing age
and infrmities and his long struggle
with adversely had tended to crush even
80 aggressive and courageous a spirit as
his and reduce his personal influence as
leader accordingly.
General MALONE was power. though,
in his day, q wealthy man and q social
leader as well. Ostracised by reason Of his
politics the loss of his wealth followed
almost inevitably his loss of social pres
tige and his failing strength released its
strong grasp on things political. From
having been ono of the leading Confeder-
ate generals in LEES army, then promi-
nent railroad owner and a Democratic
chieftain, then United States Senator
and power in Republican politics, the
brilliant Virginian, whose personal ap-
pearance, with his frilled shirt and tiny
patent leather shoes, has so often been
described and pictured, was almost for
gotten before the coming of death to the
relief OF physical and mental suffering.
A blight has rested upon him since he
dared to leave the Democratic ranks and
vote with the Repu ublicans in the United
States Senate. 1t mattered not that he
owed absolutely othing to the Democ-
racy for his elevation and that he was
chosen to the Senate by com mbination OF
Republicans and Readjusters, his fate
was sealed by the bond OF ostracism
placed upon him at home for his active
independence. Once a Democrat, and
then to turn Republican, is q crime in
the South.
Not only was MAHoNE ostracised So
cially, but a boycott was placed against
him in business so effective and far
reaching as TO continue it's pursuit down
to last winter when he risked everything
on the only stake he possessed. He en-
deavored TO sell to the Government a
piece Of his land in Washington for the
erection of a Government printing Office.
His former Democratic friends and Con-
federate associates in the Senate were i'm
placable. They frustrated his plans as
they would those of lifelong enemy.
Confederate soldiers, Democrats, Repub.
licans may now unite to do honor to
MAHoNE, dead. He was man OF strong
character, feared by his enemies, endeared
to the men he made his friends. ef'r

Mile. Rosa Bonleur's first salon medal,
won in 1S45, marked the opening of the
gates to veritable army OF her country
women, says Munseys Magazine. There
are to-day in Paris several hundred lady
painters-not mere amateurs or students,
but artists whose work is admitted to
the salons and who carry off respectable
share of the prizes offered there.
Henriette Brown and Nellie Jacquemart
were among the earlier leaders; Madeleine
Lemaire, Berthe Ddofme, Nine de ChatiI-
Ion, and Louise Abheha are more widely
known. Marie Basf1kirteff made a pre-
cocious success few years ago, and her
"Meeting"-a clever study of street boy
life-was purchased by the government

bilities were at leHst interesting.
