If the shades of the immortal dead could live again they would not be discouraged at the sight of empty seats, they would understand. It's just the way Pine Bluff people have of not attending good show. Then again there is something frosty about the average audience here. Last night Joe Cawthorn in a aFool for Luck" played to a crowd of the usual size, which seemed, however, to be endowed with a bit of enthusiasm for a play brim full of funny situations, and deserving the most liberal patronage. The piece has but little plot, but as a fun maker, merits praise. Joe Cawthorn, the .cleverest of the brothers, in addition to his own ability, was aided by a capable com- pany accurately trained. "Snitz Geyser" was we'll played-not over done, but with an intensity of humor that catches, and it caught even Pine Bluff audience.
 MT. McNish, as the theatrical manager, and Mr. Varrey, as the real estate agent, understand the importance of make up and good stage business in comedy work.
 MT. 0. H, and Miss Minerva Bur- roughs did some very clever work in their singing and whistling speciality. Encore stock was begin hing to rise and it looked very much as if they would hold controlling interest.
 Miss Anges Ardeck gave finished performance of part unworthy of her ability. It is al- ways pleasing to those who really care anything for good dramatic work to see the same attention and conscientious pains given to small part, that would be necessary for the correct interpretation of the most difficult roles. In other words an audience likes to be dealt with honestly. Miss Ardeck's work was artistic, and without effort, she went right to the hearts of our people. Her solo "Old Love Letters. . took immensely and she deserved her encores. The Song was story likely to please, but what is vastly more importantit was we'll rendered; not only correctly, but melodiously. Quite unassuming, but delightfully."- piquant, she made great deal out of a part to which there was very little
 Miss Annie Buckley, as "Tilly," did some good and some indifferent work. She sings we'll, but for subrette, or even in ingenue work, she is little slow. Her song, Paradise Alley" made a hit, as did her speciality with Mr. Caw- thorn.
 Manager Rowland is to be thanked for securing the attraction, and a return date would bring a more satisfactory house.

SOUTH McALEsTER, l. T., May
28.-Yesterday morning Judge
stuart delivered a lengthy opinion
in the injunction case of R. sarls
vs.. Jonas Peabody, sheriff Of
Tobucksy county, and VIM
Ansley, his deputy, in which he
decided that the Choctaw law,
forfeiting citizens improve
ments, twas contrary to the 14th
amendment to the constitution OF
the United States, because it did
not provide o day in court for the
owner Of property to appear and
defend the same. He further
decided that under the treaties,
that the ChOctaws had no right to
pass a law assuming jurisdiction
of non-citizen's person OF
property"
The court house Was full 01
Indian officials and n0n.citizens
Thousands of dollars Of property
would have been sold today, if the
court had failed to sustain thu
injuncti0ns.
The Indians are considerably
worked up over the matter, and
are manufacturing Indignant
sentiment toward the non
citizens. If this decision stands
they justly feel that there is but
little left for the Indian govern
ment.

Before an audience that filed

Grand opera house aud over
flowed into the street, ex-COn.
gressman W. j. Bryan, OF
Nebraska, replied last night to
the speech on the monetary issue
delivered across the street Thurs
day afternoon by Secretary
Carlisle.
The apostle of free silver from

day morning, and was heartily
greeted by the committee OF the
bimetallio league, which sub-
seQuently conferred with him
concerning the free silver con-
vention to be held In this city
next month.
Congressman John u. Allen, OF
Mississippi, also arrived later In
the day, and spoke after MIR.
Bryan, after the mass meeting.
In the course Of his speech the
Omaha editor said
II have read the speech
delivered by Mr.. Carlisle iu this

The international council of the
Five Tribes met here, with dele
gates present from each of the

adjourned to meet at Eufala on
June 26th. The object Of the
convention is to formulate some
plan to oppose the work that ia

The Gold Standard.

New YORK, May 2S.-A London
cablegram to the Evening Post
says: Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, has formally replied
to the memorial forwarded by
influential bankers and financiers
in terms emphasizing his previous
strong remarks in favor of the
gold standard. His reply con
cludes thus: "You may rely upon
it that Her Majesty's government
will give no cOuntenance to any
change in the fundamental princi.
pies of our monetary system, nor
in any discussions, in which they
may be called upon to take part,
will they admit any doubt as to
their intention firmly to adhere to
the single gold standard"

voting for an amendment which
provided for The free and unlimit-
ed coinsge Of gold and silver at
the legal ratio Of 16 to 1, without
waiting for the aid or consent Of
any other nation.
So much for the position OF Mr.
Carlisle upon the question Of free
coinage. We do not deny to Mr..
Carlisle the right to change his
opinion-it has been change of
heart. Mr.. Carlisle at that time
was the Moses of the common
people: he is now the commander
in-chief Of Pharsoh's army. He
was then the courageous and
jealous leader of the masses in
their effort to restore the gold and
silver coinage of the constitution;
he is now the foremost champion
of the very forces that be then
denounced with 90 much vigor.
In his denunciation Of Senator
Sherman, at that time, Mr.. Carlisle
stated in substance:
"First, the interests of the
idle holders Of idle capital are
different from the interests Of the
struggling masses;' second, that
Senator Sherman sympathized
with the capital interests rather
than with the masses, and, third,
that Senator Sherman, az an
United States Official, sworn to do
his duty, would be governed by
his symratbies, and, therefore,
coin only half as much money "a
he would coin If his sympathies
we're with the struggling Masses
History bore out the prophecy
made by Mr.. Carlisle, because
Mr.. Sherman and his successors
never coined more than the
minimum amount. Senator Sher.
man and Secretary Carlisle are
now In hearty accord.
"Has Senator Sherman ct last
become the champion Of the
struggling Masses or has Secre.
tary Carlisle become the champion
of the idle holders Of idle
capitalFn
Mr.. Bryan discussed various
phases Of the money question,
quoting frequently from Secretary
Carlisle, and answering his
arguments by arguments formerly
made by Senator Carlisle or by
statistics. He closed by saying
that Secretary Carlisle had
deserted the struggling masses" ,"
for whom he formerly spoke, but
that, even without his leadership,
they would be able to cast their
ballots for the restoration of the
gold and silver coinage of the
constitution, and that the present
efforts of Secretary Carlisle,
instead of retarding the move
ment, would make his former
speech familiar to the American
people and show them the danger
Of entrusting our financial policy
to "the idle holders of idle
capital" or to their representa-
tives.

then threatened to arrest the woman, and or.
