PUBLIC confidence in the integrity and
porspicacity Of the dramatic reviewers
on the Providence press is notably ex-
emp)ified to the advantage of Mr..

WORTH produced Hamlet" for the first
time in town Tuesday night, and he
played it to an audience which would
have been smaller than it was but for a
sympathetic interest and hopefulness in

duction. the theater was packed. 1t is
safe, 70 say that the dramatic reviewing
done in no city ranks higher than that of
Providence for reliability. And Provi-

their confidence in it, as in Mr.. HA-

NEW YORK.

The getting to work Of the reform
Legislature and State government in
New York State, and the reform Mayor
and city government in New York city,
present just now the most interesting
points for observation in this country,
not excepting the flounderings of the
Democratic Congress at Washington in
its death throes.
The new Mayor Of New York city has
not seen fit to reveal his policy very
fully, but he has announced one of the
principles which are to guide him in the
appointments he will be called upon to
make. He is evidently resolved to force
men Of substance, large owners of
property, to the front and compel them
to accept responsibility for the conduct
of public business that their class are
vitality interested in.
This will, if the policy is carried out, re-
suit in getting class of men into Office
that has heretofore chiefly occupied itself
with criticism. This is the class that
has raised the standard of municipal
government in Europe far above our
own Men of this class have reputa-
tions to sustain, AS well as property in
ierests to protect
This is about the only special point Of
interest that has definitely developed at
present, as the new Mayor declares that
he will await the action of the Legisla-
ture before he takes the important
steps incident TO his new regime.
The State government is getting rap
idly into working order, and many
measures for the reform OF the city aud
State matters are TO be vigorously
pressed.

Colorado's Chance.

Colorado, from whose robust AID expansive
lungs went forth a long, loud transcontlnental
howl that her progress would he halted aud
her business ruined by the repeal OF the Shor-
man silver Purchase act, Is already refuting
herself and showing by her own testimony that
she scarcely knew what she was talking about.
The depression which the repeal brought upon
the industry OF silver mining has been fol-
lowed by 80 great an increase I'm the produc-
tion of gold and 80 vast an extension of
operations In the development OF mineral ter
ritory that the a4rogatlon of the Sher-
man act instead of bsing disaster,
II likely 10 prove the greatest blessing
that Colorado ha, ever receive in the way of
Federal LEGISLATION. Letdvile for years the
center OF the siver-pr' ducing interests OF the
Slate, Is the scene OF attiv.tics like those which
characterized its early days. AID the yield of
gold from it, tributary territory is increasing
at an astonishing rate. The energy and
capital hitherto devoted mainly to silver
mining are now directed toward the produc-
tion Of gold, and In all the great mir'as.

country is by this time 50 Injured TO his
fiapdoodle that message Will not

The next Congress is very strongly

does about the currency. When the
next Congress meets it will not need Mr..
CLEvELAND's turgid and ponderous ad-
vice, and it will have other business
than manufacturing third-term boom
for him.
The sensible and graceful thing for
Mr.. CLEVELAND to do is 10 send to the
Republican leaders an assurance that he
will not obstruct their policy, aud turn
his attention TO the development of his
Buszards Bay real estate.

JAPAN'S GRIT.

There are indications that Japan will
not wait for our Mr.. JOHN w. FOSTER
10 get 10 the other side of the globe TO
advise China in the peace negotiations.
The Chinese commissioners will reach
the place of rendezvous some two weeks
before Mr.. FOSTER can join them, and
the tenor of the news from the East Is
now TO the effect that Japan will insist
that the negotiations begin at once and
proceed rapidly to a settle ment.
This policy would dash the hopes that
China had based upon Mr.. FOSTER aud
delay to the ground, aud force her to act
for herself and without indulgence in
the policy of procrastination she had
evidently determined upon.
Meantime England is moving her
warships about in the Eastern waters in
manner evidently meant to inspire the
japanese with the idea that her wishes
must be respected. In London, how
ever. the japanese diplomatic agents
politely give the English government to
understand that Japan feels quite able
to attend to what business necessity re-
quires between the warning nations Of
the East.
Japan probably understands the En-
glish position and the English character
England is neither able nor willing to
undertake war OF any consequence,
and the acute japanese agents who
have been living in London with their
eyes open know it quite as well as John
Bull himself.
There has been war of the war
correspondence going on that somewhat
complicated matters for time, but the
clearing away of the inky smoke leaves
Japan just where intelligent observers
believed she stood all along. A certain
"great" newspaper has few more of its
bulkheads OF truth penetrated by the
shells of truth, but the public hasn't
been fooled at all.
Taken together, it still seems entirely
safe to rely upon the best early judg-
ment regarding the outcome Of the
Eastern war and the course and position
OF Japan. That rejuvenated power is
abundantly able to take care of its own
interests, and is inclined to enact role
pr ompted by an order of intelligence
quite up to the Western standard.
Perhaps Mr.. JOHN w. FOSTER will
arrive in Japan in time to congratulate
the japanese Government upon the
splendid fight it has made for itself and
for civilization, and comfort the Chinese
officials who may be sans pig-tail or sans
head before they are entirely through
with the trouble they were quick
enough to plunge into.

THE COUNTRY AT LARGE.
A White House Mystery.
Atlanta fao.tttutioo


The Cincinnati Commercial -iazette's
Washington correspondent says that there
seems to be feeling of terrorism about the
White House, although IL is difficult to dis
cover any reasonable cause for IL.
The other evening several newspaper cor
respondents, il is said, went to the White
House to inquire about the movements of the
President since his return to Washington.
Nobody was permitted to enter, as the Pres
ident and his wife were at that time out din
ing. The correspondents were on the point of
leaving when the Presidents carriage drove
up.
Immediately a number of White House po-
licemen made their way to the front They
knew the correspondents personally. but in
stead of admitting them as was the usual
custom, the officers told them that they must
leave at once.
This treatment astonished the newspaper
men, and they were inclined to resent being
hustled away like tramps. The policemen
then explained that they had to obey orders,
and they had been instructed not TO allow any
one TO be about the doorway when the Presi-
dent was either leaving or entering.
The correspondents walked of, and by the
time the carriage reached the portico they
were some distance off. The episode has
caused n good deal of comment and people
are wondering what Is the matter. IL Is ap-
parent that the White House people are
somewhat apprehensive, but no one can sur
mise what IL is that has alarmed them.
It Is to be hoped that this story is unfounded
or exaggerated. IL Is not pleasant to hear
that the President OF this great republic has
TO hedge himself about with precautions
which would better suit the Car OF Russia.

General scho fields Funny Break ~ %
the Conduct OF sn Orchestra.
How Conductor Sousa was taken to
task by General Schofeld for his lack OF
discipline is told by the San Francisco
Chronicle.
Tae last ocio Of one of Sousa's over
lures was just dying away over the sand
hills south OF the fair grounds when
General Schof.ld stepped in front Of
tho bend and saluted the distinguished
loader. Sousa returned the salute and
sent one OF his men to escort the general
up into tho band stand.
''That music was beautiful-beauti-
full, exclaimed the general as he shook
Sousa's hand warmly. II am astonish-
ed, sir, that you get such results with
80 little discipline.
There is nothing that Sousa prides
himself more ON than being one Of the
strictest Of disciplinarians, and he was
naturally nettled at the generals criti-
cism.
"Why, general, my men are under
perfect control. I'm sure they are thor
oughly drilled, and can hardly believe
that there lis any lack of discipline
have never noticed it,"
''No, that's just it; you don't see it, "
persisted the general. II saw IL, though.
Do you know that as soon as you turn
your back on one side Of your band to
shake your batop at the other those fel-
lows all quit playing? OF course you
don't see it, for as sosn as you turn
around they begin again"
The fun in this, at the expense Of the
general, lies, Of course, in the fact that
when section of Sousa's men became
silent as be turned to the other was
when the music so required. But the
general looked upon this lapse as he
would upon the suspension Of section
of his artillery when he turned his at
tention to another part of the field.

However valuable cid Mr. Clay may

while in Russia, his autobiographic

containing forests and lakes. The czar
sent him for a drive in his carriage,
which, of course, had the royal livery.

tako the carriage, and that ho should
find shelter under the trees till it re-
turned. The lady seemed reluctant TO
do this, but at length got in and drove

The Famine Belt.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.


The distressing accounts of famine received
from Western Nebraska are what we shall
continue to receive just so long as men persist
in attempting to raise crops in defiance of
natural and established climatic con-
ditions. Western Kansas and Nebraska
are in the arid belt, where the rainfall
is only occasionally sufficient for
growing crops. This year is the third In sue
cession that the crops have failed from lack Of
moisture. The only thing that can be done
with these lands Is TO use them for
grazing. Artificial irrigation does not,
from the nature of the country,
appear practicable except in spots.
The Legislature of Nebraska would perform
an act of charity IL instead of cxpending
money to maintain the population In the arid
belt II would remove them TO section capa-
BILE OF supporting them in return for their
labor.

improved the time since the repulse IL
the enemy on Jan. by adding to the
defensesA second and reserved line OF
parapets, behind which his men were
distributed in a way to make their fire
tell upon the assaulting columns. To
all appearance the American position
was impregnable. The colonel Of the

sen to cross the ditch and scale the
walls, declared. my men have been
ordered to execution"
When the hour arrived to fire tho

not in position. Pakenham led forward
the next in line. and seeing the soldiers
falter on meeting the American fire he
took of his hat and waved IL, at the
same time squirting hir horse into the
arena, where the shots were most dead
ly. A bullet shattered his bride arm,
which fell to his side, while his horse
dropped dead beneath him. Mounting
another, he rode with the front rank of
the Highlanders as they advanced IN
lieu of the Forty fourth on what looked
to be row of fiery furnaces along the
American trenches. Realizing the des-
perate work before him, Pakenham call
ed out to an aid near him, "Order up

and shouting to his men, he rode on
with the Highlanders until a mass Of

horse and shattered his thigh. Before
he could be removed from the field q
