CLEvELAND's MINISTRIES.

The above named famous minstrel com pany will be seen here shortly. The New Orleans Picayune pays them the following compliment;
 MT. ". s.. Cleveland, the successor of J. A. Haverly in the mastodon minstrel business, and who is irrepressible as man. ager, brought to the Academy of Music last night one of the most unique and big gest minstrel companies ever seen in this city. When the curtain went mp for the first part there was a stage full of people, seated from the floor near the footlights and backward tier upon tier, showing white men, negroes and Arabs. The end of the white contingent wore black faces.
 The cuiored men, who had their double row of minstrels behind and above the or chestra tiers, were without burnt cork complications. The Arabs warmed the highest row of chairs up near the flies at the back Of the stage. In quantity the Cleveland company satisfies all expecta tons; and in quality some of the acts pre- sented are fine. MT. J. M. Woods is an old ballad singer with a good voice. MT. William Norton has splendid baritone voice, and sang the "Bedouiu Love song'' with effect. Some of the col ored singers on the higher seats also have good voices. The Crawford brothers do smart acrobatic song aud dance. Coburn and Baldwin do tasty musical act with bells and numerous musical instruments. Lew Benedict, one of the old-timers, on the end and In stump speech, recalled old times rocks. William Henry Rice, one of the best old time impersonators, and a fine burlesque actor, came in for a good share of applause in the closing burlesque, which belongs to him. The sensation of the even- ing was the wonderful performances of tn @ Arabs, who tumble, twirl muskets and form pyrmids, showing. tue gigantic strength of the man who holds up the whole troupe. It can be said for the show that it goes quick, it is numerous, it has some nov cities, some good musical features, and is full of ginger,

man party in the reichsrath submitted to- daya proposal that the government cancel the order of Graz's municipal council against Bismarck demonstration. The Marquis of Nacquehem, minister of the interior, replied that the government could not assent to the proposal. In such mat ters the Austrian national idea often eciipsed the most conspicuous virtue of the great hero whom it was proposed to honor, and the devotion to one's own fatherland and sovereign ought always to come first. The chamber declines to vote urgency for the proposal. The promoters of the project were the only deputies voting in the af- firmative. Later twenty-thres members of the German national group met and sent a dispatch of congratulations to Freid richsruhe.

SADIE MARTINOT.

On Thursday evening next Miss Sadie Martinot, with strong company, will he the attraction at O. Brien's.
 The New Orleans Picayune has the fol- lowing to say of her and her play, s'fhe Passport:'
 Miss Sadie Martnot, one of the most fascinating actresses on the American stage, made her first appearance in this city last night at the Grand opera house in .1he Passport, '' a comedy, in three acts, by B. C. Stephenson and William Yardley. The audience was not as large as the merits of the star, company and play called for, but that was principally owing to the fact that they were all, in measure, novelties to the thealer-goers here. Now that the eomedienne has been seen in "The Pass- port,' it is safe to say that large audiences will greet her at all ihe performances dur ing the week. An outline of the comedy is interesting. The opening scene is laid at railroad station on the Russian frontier. A beautiful, frivolous young widow of fashion, with treacherous memory, has forgotten her passport at Berlin and can proceed no farther. young English no- oleman, whose wife has deserted him some months previous, generously volunteers to take her across the frontier on the pass port made out in his and his former wife's name. While masqueradiug as the young nobleman's wife the young widow Is introduced to an English family of tourists. Eighteen months elapse when Lord Bibary marries the daughter of one of these English friends and the bogus wife of the passport, the widow, turns up at the wedding breakfast. The lord is be- lieved to be big amist, as is also the widow, who has married an elderly gentleman, and the complications that arise are most amus- ing. Finally, all Is explained and all is well. Miss Sadie Martinot, of course, plays the part of the young widow, and does so in most delightful manner. Her versatility is well displayed, and there is something light and airy, interesting and fascinating about Der personation of the character. Her beauty of face and figure, her graceful and charming personality are enhanced by the magnificent costumes she wears. MT. Max FIgman, who plays the part of the young English nobleman, is well known in New Orleans, having some ysars ago made numerous admiring friends as comedian in summer opera. He plays the part now allotted to him exceedingly we'll, and Is also appreciated by the audi ence. Messrs. Sam Edwards and Joseph r. Brien in character roles, are very clever. The other players revolve around those specially mentioned and also contribute to- wards most hearty laugh. "1'he Pass- port" will be played every night this week. At the Wednesday matinee each lady at- tending will be presented with a photo- graph of the charming actress, gowned in one of Worth 6 daintiest creations.

Stop that Cough!

It may lead to serious conse- quences. Cough remedies will not do it, because it means more than a simple cold. Scott's Emulsion of Cod-hver Oil with Hypophosphites will do it, and at the same time will build up and fortify the system against further attacks.
 We are putting up 5o-cent size for just these local difi- culties. For ordinary Coughs and Colds that quantity will doubtless cure. If it is deep- seated it may require more.

THE ANACONDA VICTORY.

The Anaconda Standard, which is
one of the brightest of Montana dailies,
has the following words of encourage
ment to the party which it supports
with ability and discretion:
If the Democratic party of the
country wishes to find an oasis in the
would respectfully invite it's attention
to the city of Anaconda, where the
Democrats on Monday elected their
entire municipal ticket. Anaconda is
all right, thank you, politically and
every other way. 1t is today the most
prosperous town Of it's size in the
United States, and it's going to be a
bigger and a better town than ever
before many more silvery moons have
sped.
That is good companionship for the
Dem ocratic victories in Ohio, par
ticularly Governor McKinley's own
town, or the place that he thought
was his. He resides there, when he is
not neglecting his gubernational
duties in stumping the country for
himself and party, but he doesn't rule
the roost there, by any means.
By the way, Mckinley is not only

that important Democratic victories
have been gained in Ohio, but also
that business is looking up all over
the State" He cannot account for
the way things veered around Of
course, because the improvement in
business under a Democratic tariff is
in complete contradiction TO his
theories and predictions, and the
Democratic successes right where he
lives are still further arguments
against his high tariff heresies.
The Democratic party has no oc-
casion to feel clown in the mouth"
over the political outlook By keeping
stiff upper lip" with thorough
organization for diligeut work, the
party that survives all changes and
discomfitures will gain the confidence
and suffrages of the majority of the
American people.

THE WORLD ON SUFFRAGE.

The able way in which the women leg
tslators of Colorado and other western
states are holding their own in parlia-
mentary fghting-and scolding-shows
that woman can do what she pleases in
politics as everywhere else. But 1t is not
in politics tina. women are now redeem
ing and civilizing the United States, as
they certainly are.
With the close of the civil war this
country entered on a period of develop
ment unparalleled elsewhere, and Ameri-
can young men have devoted themselves
more and more to the work of material
progress. The result is seen in splendid
industrial achievements, but it is also
seen in a generation which cares little
about the higher and finer pursuits of in
tellectual life. The American man of to-
day is business, all business, and very
little else but business. OF course the eX-
ceptions are frequent, but this is the rule.
In this situation the women of the coun-
try are slowly, perhaps, but not the less
surely, becoming more cultivated than
the men. They are beginning TO know
more of music, of the fine arts, of poetry.
of general literature Of the ''humanities'
as distinguished from the sciences and
from merely useful knowledge.
Perhaps this may change with another
generation, but if it does not the women
of America will far surpass the men in
cultivation before the first half of the
twentieth century has expired. Already
the average young girl of 20 reads more
than the average young man of %, and is
generally able to tell as much about lit
erature, old and new, as he is about
games and sports.-N. Y. World.

people to do as they please which
the resolution was intended to sup
port Opposition 20 the submission
of such a question to the vote of the
people was a denial of that right. So
that the gentleman in convention ar
gued, as was his custom when on the
tripod, to the disproof of his own pro-
position.
We do not think the resolution was
altogether right, because it would
permit the investment of public funds
and the loaning of public credit for
private purposes. 1t was in the ma
ture of a compromise measure. But
it prudently required a two-thirds
vote of the people to authorize it, and
that recognizes the right of the people
to pass on any such a measure. The
Idea that a bare majority of men
elected by bare majority of the vot-
ers may decide that taxes levied on
all the taxpayers for the expenses of
the government, may DE given away
for private purposes, or invested in
private corporations, is queer way
to support the right of the people to
do as they please
The two-thirds principle, which the
gentleman claimed is contrary to the
principles of government in this coun-
try, is a recognized principle in this
government, and is applied under
many important conditions. 1t lis a
principle in passing a measure over
veto; in the changing or amendment
of constitution; and either matters
of similar moment. And in SUCH a
case as a departure from the policy
which ought to govern in the ordinary
expenditure of public money, it is as
reasonable as in the other cases, il
that departure is permissible at all.
The fact is, however, that the state
and its various subdivisions ought to
be entirely prohibited from loaning
the public credit for any private in
stitution. That is very different to pro-
hibiting bounties. If the credit of the
state and cities and counties can be
thus loaned out, unrestricted, what
terrible financial condition would be
the RESULT 1t would seem that even
the illogical Intercollegiate would be
able to perceive both the difference
and the danger.
