Theatrical Tidings.


The coming attraction at the Grand
is that charming comedy-drama "Ala-
bama," which has been played some
five years. The Wichita Times says
the following:
alabama" was presented ut the
Crawford Grand last night to very
crowded house. When the curtain
rose on the first act of this interesting
play, the parquet and dress circle, as
well as balcony, We're well filed and
but few seats remained empty. Gala
bama" is a remarkably strong play and
the company presented it in most
creditable manner. The play portrays
southern life and customs and the plot
affords ample scope for some superior
acting. A strong vein of humor runs
through the play, and the scenes alter
mating between the sublime aud the
beautiful, the pathetic and humorous
were finely produced. Mr.. Frank Bangs
as Colonel Preston, presented some ele-
CANT emotional acting. George Miller
portrayed the Southern colonel SUI
perbly. Mr.. cambridge, although an
excellent actor, has ambitions in an
other line of the professionalism of
manager, i'm which he has so far scored
remarkable success. Every member
Of the cast, which numbered twelve, is
an artist; and the vociferous and con-
tinued applause, that greeted the pres
entation of "Alambra" last night GER
tainly testifies to the spirit in which the
play was received. The play is certain
~ success, and again confirms the
statement that a first-class attraction is
always well patronized in Wichita.

DEMocRAcYS PROSPECTS.
A BaIwark q; tren.th When Placed In
the Oppo-itien-

A BuIwark q; Whes Placed n
the Opposition
Those democrats who for some weeks
have been hearing the triumphant as
surances OF the republicans that the
campaign Of 1896 is virtually no longer
in doubt should not he too easily down
cast The late election unquestionably
makes the republican prospect rosy. A
snap Judgment Of the situation at the
present tirne would be that the next
rational administrator will be under
the control of the republicans.
But if there is one thing certain in
American politics it is the element Of
uncertainty. The quickness with which
the people withdraw their support from
one party in favor of another has been
shown in recent year with startling
clearncss. They are remarkably sud.
den in administering rebuke. The re-
publican party has al present to con-
front the prospect Of a congressional
session in which il is practically power
less TO do any signal benefit TO the coun-
try. while il may undertake measures
which Will make il unpopular. A single
~Dlunder-the bungling Of the tariff bill
-sufs.ced to give the democracyacrush-
ing defeat a little more than year ago.
The republicans are not likely to make
any such error this time. Should they
enact vicious legislation thcy would but
snare the responsibility with the demo
cratic president unless they chose to
take the extreme measure OF passing il
over his veto. But the chances for tac-
teal errors are lei and ever pres
emit. Either the Cuban question or
finances. or even the tariff itself, might
easily be made the occasion for as un-
happy an exhibition as mat attending
the consideration of the Wilson bill.
Poor though the democracy's present
prospects may look. the party will still
have in its favor the advantage which
may come from the plumbers Of OPP
lonents. And the democratic party,
weak as IL often il when in power. is q
bulwark Of strength when placed in the
opposition.-Chieago Record (Ind.).
