JAMES l. CoRRETT.

A most eventfui attraction will be that of the champion of the world, James J. Cor bett, in aGentleman Jack,o a4 the opera house tonight. Never before in the history of dramatics has there been an American accorded such ovations as were rendered to MT. Corbett during bis recent visit to the foreign countries. The most eminent critics and the theater- going public were unanimous in praise for the many resources he has for the entertainment of his audi ences. In London and the provinces Of England, in France, where at Paris, by playing an engagement that is recorded as the largest in the history of the Foliess Bergeries; and in the principal cities of Ireland and Scotland he was lionized by the representatives of society, art, literary and sporting world. Theater- goers will not oniy be afforded an opportunity of seeing a celebrated man, but an actor of more than ordinary talents. MT. Corbetts early ambitions were of dramatic nature, and as he is very apt pupil, during his three years' experience he has developed all the requirements essential to an artist. He is handsome, manly, easy and graceful: :: His pronunciation is clear and distinct and his gestures graceful. "Gentleman Jack' is a comedy drama from the facile pen of Charles P. Vincent and William A. Brady.

1.-THE PASSING sHoW."

Tomorrow night at O'Brien's "The Passing Show" will be the attraction and a fiue perfo rmance is anticipated. An ex- change has the following to say of il:
 Even the glories of "Erminie," the greatest success ever achieved in comic opera, pale into comparative insignifcapce when considered in connection with the enormous success of '"fhe Passing Show' at the Casino. At no time in the history of this theater of remarkable successes Jas anything approximating the monetary re- suits of the 'The Passing Show' been known. Every night since the first on which the newest of new style of entertain ment was presented the Casino has been absolutely filled to overflowing. The idea of the performance originated with Man ager George w. Lederer, who for several years has been thoroughly convinced that an extravaganza, the salient features of which should be review of the theatrical successes of the then current season, pre- sented in a satirical manner and inter- spersed with bright music, would be a large success. He impressed his partner, MT. Canary, with the same idea, and they united their efforts to secure the best avail able talent to formulate and represent what all the metropolitan newspapers and many thousands of pleased patrons say is far and away the best entertainment ever given in New York. One important ad- vantage of this extravaganza is that even If one gets to the theater late the entertain ment is of such fragmentary character that if the hit then being done does not im- mediately interest, the succeeding one is sure to. The music is of @ character which is easily remembered, and it is now whis- tied throughout the streets of the metrop- oIia

that credits can be wisely extended
beyond that point.
Heace a gold standard means the
maintenance OF a level of prices con-
sistent with the quantity in use as
money. which means a level OF prices
on the average the same as those pre-.
vailing in gold using countries. This
must be clear from the consideration
that il from a country which possess
ed no gold mines all the gold had been
sent out it could be attracted back
only to buy commodities, which clear
ly means that unless the prices OF the
commodities forming the subject Of
international trade were for the mo-
ment lower here than in the country
from which the gold should come We
could not have exported the commodi-
ties except at loss.

The leaders in this party are only

golden calf that Aaron made, and
obsequiously worship the golden calf
that Nebuchad nezzar set up in the
plain OF Dura to get Democratic

thirty pieces OF silver that their Ante

gave them the nomination. and then

We Agree.

The Gainesville Hesperian declares
that 1.-THE problem of taxation is fully
as important as the currency oues-
tion; and it will not be long until it
will be the leading issue in state
affairs. We are taxed too much for
what We get. We mean state, county
and city taxation. We could do on
less. Too many men are living at
the public expense and demanding
that they be furnished with employ
ment at the cost of the taxpayers.
Our courts are too costly and are
growing more so. Here is
where our greatest waste of money
is. We have too many courts. and
this number has to a great extent
been necessary by the useless waste
of time. Let it be remedied. There
is wisdom enough in Texas to reform
this evil.
We agree. But how are you to
secure these reforms? Certainly not
through the Democratic party, for
every legislature makes matters
worse, increases the deficiency.
There is absolutely no hope for re-
form in the Democratic party. 1t is

are many lawyers who are honorable
