AT THE THEATERS.

Bulwer's fascinating drama. "Rich-
elieu, or the Conspiracy" was pre-
sented at the Metropolitan opera
house last evening by Mr.. Keene and
his company. The largest audience
of the week greeted this performance
and came away amply rewarded.
Cardinal Richelieu is unqueStionabIy
one of Mr.. Keene's most effective
impersonations. 1t ranks next to his
Louis XI. Mr.. Keene plays the willy
cardinal with fine appreciation of
his subtle wit and humor, and with
great power in the final scenes. He
delivered the grand curse with thrill
ing effect, and was rewarded with
prolonged applause.
The company again reflected credit
upon itself. Miss Lawrence imper-
sonated Julie with true grace and
modesty, and impaired much fervor
to the role in the trying scenes. Mr..
Arden made a dashing and impas-
stoned De Mauprat, and Mr.. Hen
mig was entirely adequate in the role
of Baradas.
Tonight Mr.. Keene will present
Shakespeare's greatest acting trag-
edy, "Othello.'
Among the positively excellent
features seen in "Fantasma," now at
the Grand, is the act done by the
McDonough brothers, contortionist
acrobats, who form a pyramid twen-
ty-two feet high by a clever acrobat
ic device. Matinee prices tomorrow
are 10, 20, 25 and 35 cents, and the
sale is very large. >.
In "Old Glory Charles T. Vincent
and William A. Brady's latest naval
melodrama, the national colors are
used with respect, utilized in a per-
fectly legitimate manner and fire.
quently. They figure iii almost
every Scene, and the appeals to
patriotism meet with most enthusi-
astic response from the audience

poNpERous TOM REED.

Into the constellationsethat thiclsly
stud the armament of the financial
world there has come, flung out 5fi
that factory of satire and sneer; re-
partee and ridicule, constantly in
operation under the bald pate of Tom
Reed, of Maine, a star of disappointr
ing magnitude, to twinkle among It's
brilliant fellows. Magnitude and
greatness go together as first i'm
pressions. Tom is ponderous and
immense. He looks as if he might
be an all-knowing statesman, man
of immense capabilities in any field
into which he might direct his bat
teries. Back of the musketry of his
wit and rail1ery it was believed was
parked his heavy artillery, held in
reserve for the great occasion that
had not yet come. Serious situations
have come in plenty, and called forth
the best other men could do, but,
Tom has met them with quip and
| jest.
Most men seriously believe we have
reached a situation than which none
more momentous has presented itself
for solution. Tom evidently disagrees
with them. While inanciers and
statesmen and, we modestly add,
editors are pondering questions of
banking and currency and finance,
criticising and Sitting and advising,
and while hardly day passes that
does not bring forth some full-fedged
scheme of reform, Tom stalks proud
1y into the arena with his own Origi-
nal copyrighted, ll-rights-reserved
remedy and sure-cure. The tabled
mountain labored and brought forth
a mouse. Tom surpasses the noun.
tain He labors and brings forth
rats. Everybody recognizes it at
once and cries Rats
Just two short sections cover it
and embrace it all. Repeal the inter-
est provision of the act of 1875 and
authorize the secretary to issue GER
tificateS of Indebtedness bearing 8
per cent to get money to pay cur
rent expenses with when the reve-
nues are deficient. And-here is
where the presidential bee in Toms
bonnet begins to buzz-make the
issues payable in "coin" Simple,
isn't it? What a marvel that none
of the financiers Of the country, from
Sherman down, or up, to Bland, never
thought of it. Issue bonds to buy
gold. Preserve the greenbacks to
draw out the gold again, and
make it sure that what gold
there is will be drawn out by making
the obligations payable in "coin.'
The way to cook a hare is first to
catch it. Getting people who have
gold to part with it in exchange for
bonds or certificates payable in coin
that may be worth so or less cents
on the dollar is the factor of catch
ing the hare.

Her Daughters Husband.

A traveller saw a woman take a
man by the collar, yank him up the
steps into a railroad car, jamb him
down into a hot seat near the stove,
pile up a valise and two big brown
baskets with loose covers and long
handles at his feet, and say:
Now, sit here until I help Mary
Jane on the car, and don't move till
I come back"
When the woman reached the door
the traveller said to her:
'Is that man your husband?'
NAV" roared the woman. "He
is my daughters husband, and she
hasn't spirit enough to say her soul
is her own"

The law Of money is just as mex

honest way s5f satisfying desire but
by,gexchanging2 thel thing one has
for the thing one wants. That's bar
ter. That is the way the first ex-
changes were made, and it is the way
barbarous peoples trade now. Then
came the discovery of the metals
and their value as commodities, out
of which grew their use as media for
making exchanges. Thence came
the universal desire for them as con-
venient means of satisfying desire.
The law of any currency then is
that it must be one which is the
most widely desired. If there are
differences in this respect that is
the best whose circle of exchanged
bility has the greatest diameter. 1t
is the one which most men desire.
At times it has been copper, at 9TH

may decry this; sentimentalists may
bemoan it; selfish interests may
denounce it; congresses and par
liaments may illuminate bulls
against it, but the law has it's own
way, because sentiment and legisla-
ton cannot alter the nature of men.
The child that reaches for the big
gest piece of cake at table is the
father of the man who wants the

gard as the best.
And SO" concludes the secretary,
"theorize as we may, contend for
whatever financial faith we can, we
shall find at last that in our Present
the foundations of finance are, as
they were in the Past of thousand
years ago, buttressed by human de-

this because 500 years of use has

A New Industry.

Sheep ranehers in many parts of Ore
gon and other Northwestern regions
are getting discouraged over the de-
creasing value of sheep and the in
creasing value of land, and at a recent
meeting of ranchers in Oregon it was
suggested that they should drop sheep
and go in for raising coyotes. Coyote
scalps are worth Sc each, while sheep
are worth anything from $3.50 down.
Then a eve will raise only or two
lambs in a season, but a coyote will
easily raise family of five or seven.
The arithmetic AND logic of the matter
are easy.

THE FINANCIAL MIDDLE.

Secretary Morton is one of those
whom study, experience and obserya-
ton have taught the lesson that senti-
ment and law each have their proper
and useful places in the economy of
human affairs, but that their useful
ness depends entirely on each keep
ing its own place. When sentiment
takes the place Of law, or the re-
verse, mischief inevitably ensues.
He has said that he does not believe
in planting with preambles or plow-
ing with resolutions. Just now senti-
ment is trying to usurp the func-
t1ons of law in finance, and it's par
tlal success in the past and the
prevalence of the belief now that it
can do the work of law is the prolific
source of the condition which the
secretary treats of in his article in
the current North American, in cofa-
pany with Mr.. Springer and Mr..
Cannon, under the very appropriate
title of THE Financial Middle"
Dire need is there of the teaching
IN and out of season of the doctrine
OF law. The minds of men are
muddled by their confusion of
the application of forces, oper-
ating under immutable laws, for
the creation of law until they have
come to believe that man is omnis-
cient, and that his ''be it enacted"
is the equivalent command for "let
there be light" Electricity existed
