COMING TO THE THEATERs.

Few, II any, minstrel companies are
better knewn 10 the theater-goers OF this
city than George Thatcher and Carroll John
sons Ministries, who viii appear at the
Academy tomorrow night. AS 10 the abil-
ity Of these clever aud popular exponentso of
minstrelsy TO entertain an audience there
can be little doubt, especially TO those
who have witnessed their performance on
some previous occasion.
It has ever been their aim and ambition
TO furnish an entertainment that will far
surpass the ordinary minstrel offerings,
and with this end in view have, as in the
past, succeeded in arousing the most favor
able comments from both press and public.
The organization which they will bring
to this city will, in points OF elegance,
novelties, beauty and splendor, surpass
anything we have yet seen. The first part
is an attempt at scenic magnificence rarely
achieved in minstrelsy, and the rising OF
the curtain will disclose a spectacle OF
splendor, brilliantly illuminated with beau
tifuliy colored electrical effects that have
been especially devised for this company.
If you want to see a performance that will
highly interest and amuse you, go to the
Academy Of Music tonight and see Anna
Eva Fay. This VIII probab! y be Miss Fay's
last appearance in washington in number
OF years, and those who have not had the
pleasure OF witnessing one of her remark
able entertainments will miss rare treat.
Her seances appeal only to the intelligent,
and the many remarkable things that she
does in a brilliantly lighted stage, in
plain view of the audience, are almost
incompTe hensible. She rivals Herman,
and plesses her audience quite as much as
all that she does is accomplished under the
scrutiny OF a committee appointed by the
audience, who try in every possible man
ner 10 detect her in any trickery. AS yet
their efforts have been useless, And why
not, when some Of the ablest scientists OF
both continents have failed ia Ike manner?
II is difficult to tell how she causes
flowers TO appear in space, how the talking
hand is made TO answer questions, how an
unseen hand plays musical instruments
ana many other strange and wonderful
things are done These are facts that be-
wilder, and whether what she does is
done by the aid Of spirits or can be ac-
counted for naturally, amounts to nothing,
solons as they are accomplished and no one
the wiser.

Sheffield Standard.
 There is now one pronounced candidate for the office of governor of Alabama.
 The people are not surprised; they are not surprised that Capt. Joseph F. Jehn ston of Birmingham has felt constrained at so early date, to announce his an1i- daey. It has been generally understood that at the opportune time the announce mant would be made.
 The Birmingham State Herald, in malS- ing the announcement, takes occasion 10 say:
 There are hundreds of democrats in Alabama who do not agree with Captain Johnston in his financial views who have assured him of their hearty support. be- cause they believe that his loyalty to his party, his lifelong service to the people, his honest consistency and adherence to friends and policies, have entitled him to their support and confidence"
 It is the judgment of the Standard that Johnston's nomination would quiet dis sensions. It would do more-it would in- sure the success of the democratic ticket. There is not another man around whom the democrats would rally with such con- fidence and enthusiasm. And this Is so because his course, from first to last un- der all circumstances, has been manly, consistent and patriotic. Defeated before the last democratic convention by close vote, he did not suffer himself to nope for moment At once he cast his disap- pointment under his feet, and all through the campaign he-was found at the front, iaboring faithfully, increasingly, as though he, and not his opponent, had been called to head the ticket.
 And there is no mistaking his position on the one burning question of the hour. There is no varlableness nor shadow of turning on his record. He is now, as in all his past career, a bimetallist--thor- ough, straightforward, unmistakable. He stands now as he has always stood he stands for silver and gold, 16 to 1, as the fundamental moneys-of the coun- try, as the money upon which the United States hints set the stamp of the gov- ernment, doing this without any unreal sonable delay and without any discrim- ination wha discover iu mintaGe, and with out any discrimination eitNer in con tra acting of debts or in the Rayment of debts. On this great question of finance "a question it is impossible now to beg or belittle-Joseph F. Johnston stands with majority of the people of Alaha,- ma His nomination would silence dis cord: it would leave the opposition with out a weapon; he would lead the party to victory.
 The Standard does not undertake to say that he is the only man in Alabama that would make success certain; but it does not hesitate to say that he is. just now. the only one ''in sight" who can do this thing.

A CRAVE CHARGE.

Under the above caption the Mobile News comes to the defense of Governor Oates. who is stabbed by his pretended friend, the Mobile Register:
 "The Mobile Morning Mistake gravely charges that Governor Oates, for selfish and personal ends has bargained. traded and dickered with Captain Johnston, to swap senatorial votes for gubernatorial ballots. While the charge is puerile, and will be discounted on It's face by all Of the few reasoning beings who chance to see it, the animus of the fling is as trans parent as glass.
 We have not favored Governor Oates for the senate, because we disagree with his goldbug and administration standi but we believe him to be an honest and consistent politician and one who has never been afraid to take his stand and keep it. He openly declared months ago that he would not run for governor, ana that he would run for the senate. He was falsely declared by the two admlnts- tration repetiteurs of the state to have announced change of views. and that he would run for governor Coming to Mobile Colonel Oates denied this The Morning Mistake would not hear the de- nial. It tried to crack its frayed and crackless whip and lash tke governor into it's own peculiar (and disinterestedA D scheme
 Now that Colonel Oates desires to think for himself and sit down upon the inter- maddling local cuckoo. it snarls at his heels and makes damaging assertions that it cannot prove and that are un- provable If this be journalism make the most of it,'

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BEp

Now that the many prominent citizens of the northwest who recently visited the south under the auspices of the Chicago and Southern States association and those who came as the special guests of Presi- dent Fish, have returned home. 1t may be we'll to inquire as to the benefits that will accrue. The leading Chicago dailies have during the past two or three days devoted whole pages to interviews with members of the party of tourists touching their visit and the impressions made by the southern people, their institutions and industries. These interviews, few of which are reproduced in this issue, are practically unanimous in praise of the southern people, their unstinted hospital ity and cordiality in extending a hearty welcome to the visitors. Nor do our new friends from the northwest fail to speak of the resources and great commer- ciaI and industrial possibilities of the south. There is no lack of confidence ip the future prosperity of the south on the part of Chicago, if we may judge from the public declarations of the lead ing citizens of that city.
 But the practical results are yet to come We were delighted to have so large a body of distinguished visitors and we are assured that our guests were well pleased with the reception. No question about the genuine southern hos pitality which was extended. But be- yond the sentiment and fraterna1 feel ing underlying the demonstrations incl dental to the tour of the northwesterners what is the significance of this same alliance of the south and the northwest? ? Is it a. natural alliance? Have we com mon interest, and is the scheme practica- ble? These are the questions that will occur to the practical business man.
 Perhaps the first public event that sug- rested a more fraternal relation between the two sections was the erection of the Confederate monument which was un- yelled in Oakwood cemetery. Chicago, last spring. That was 8 broad-minded and noble act on the part of brave peo- pie, who knew how to respect and honor a ..foeman worthy of their steel.' It was the first and only recognition on the part of the north of the southern soldier as an American patriot and citizen.
 Next came the organization of the Chi cago and Southern States association. The purposes of this association are well known. It's mission was to bring repre- sentative citizens of the northwest to the south, escorted by the regiment that fired the salute over the graves of the Confederate dead at Chicago. The ex- cursion was a great success: the fra ternal feeling was wel1sin evidence.
 What are to be the practical results of this unprecedented movement? Are we to have more industries in the south.
