Several weeks ago The Times called the atten-
ton Of Congress to the alarming and dangerous
growth of trusts in defiance of the antitrust law,
and asked that some action be taken to regulate the
formation of corporations throughout the country
SO to put end 70 this menace to prosperity.
The recent organization of the coal trust seems to
emphasize this request and in the interests of the
masses and to prevent the further robbery of the
public by this communism of pelf, Congress should
provide way to destroy the trusts already in
istence as we'll to stop their future formation.
The robber barons Of the feudaI ages were angels
in armor compared to the trust pirates of the pres
ent. The barbarians who laid waste in olden times
to vast territories that they might live in splendor
were hardly less cruel than the kings Of to-
day, who deSpOi people that they may extend
their already too great wealth. Compare the vast
fortunes accumulated by the Standard oil trust the
sugar trust the nseed trust the tobacco trust the
different metal trusts the beef trust and the hun
dredS Of other trusts with the distressed condition
OF the poorer classes and answer If their method OF
absorbing prosperity is less inhuman than that OF
monarChS who levy tribute to acquire riches.
II is expected that the first advance in the price
of coal of 90 cents ton will net the trust $685.
900 OOO amount sufficient to give months
work at living wages to every unemployed man in
the country. This immense will come princ
pally from the pockets Of the masses, and if that
does not furnish Congress with to stop
such despoliation that body does not properly repre-
sent a government OF the people, In connection
with this subject would be proper for Congress to
ask the Attorney General why he does not reply to
it's inquiry concerning the antitrust law, and if he
has made any attempt to enforce it.
1t is possible that under different admnstra-
ton the antitrust law might prove operative and
beneficial in relieving the public of extortionate
prices But long as President Cleveland controls
affairs it might well be buried in the cornerstone
of the Capitol For that reason the Times once more
urges Congress to look into the question of regu-
lating the formation of corporations and ascertain
if general law on this subject would not be better

Several months ago The Times compelled
the star TO withdraw its misleading ana
false statement that its circulation WAS
larger than that ofall the other Washington

another nr lis Misrepresentation should go
through The sword vyaIlowing process.
Last saturday the Star published the fol-
lowing:

Northern Lights" which is now on

picturesque American drama. It's pic

mcnded il to very large audience last
evening, the opening night, and il viii un-
doustedly continue to draw wcn during
the week.
The stirring story of Northern Lights
has already been told by The Times. 1t
may be repeated that il deals with the
historical event Of the massacre OF Clusters
command, one OF Il e scenes being those or
the hostilitieS atthat period.
The action ofslbe third, fourth and fifth
acts is vivid cnobgb and takes place amid
scenery which is well staged. Everybody
loves the '.giory OF the strife" and in
this drama is the place to find ii graphically
portrayed. According 10 the tradition that
a play VIII succeed that has "a horse in
II, Northern Lights is sure to bc
go. as ii carries with il The cavalry OF Gen.
Crook himself.
Besides .iie scenery and the pomp and
circumstance of war there is a story of
intrigue, loye. murder, ard revenge run
ming through il, which was admirably
presented, especially in the third and
fourth acts.
The part of the heavy villain was pla yed
by Mir. Sheridan Block. the noble half
breed by Mr. " iliam Cou rtleish the
deserter by Mr.. George A. Wright, Helen
Bare by Miss Lisic Leigh, and Florence
Sherwood by aiiss Grace Atwen. The
humor OF the play is Well sustained by
Messrs. Frank Allen and Arthur buchanan,
Two of the besl character sketches in
the piece are ''tie little ma jor'' by Miss
Nellie Callahan, who made a great deal
out OF a coed part; and her fi1nce, Mr..
Harry Mills. as the h"nienan'. The char
acter OF the half-bFeed seemed 10 touch a
responsive chord in the aud .ence, also, the
part being eXceliently played.
The audience was also treated TO Il
wtistting chorus from the gallery. The
boys snew what the orchestra was play
ing a,,u they let the Audience know it.
ThiS extra performance was also vigorously
applauded. The house was in a merry mood
all evening.

1t is generally conceded that wcll-mean-
ing people are in sympathy with the ef
forts OF the Help and Hope Mission to re-
claim the outcasts of the Division, because
il Is a God-given work that commands adj
miration and respect. II is also a duty
made sacred by all religious beliefs. and
in the eyes OF Christians the eievating of
n fallen woman to the level of respecta
bility is ike adding spark of hope TO the
beacon that points the way To a higher de-
gree OF civilization. The less sin we have
the greater will be our happiness. and the
sooner communities rid themselves of such
plague sports as the Division the fewer
outcasts there win Toe 10 provide amuse-
ment for testial men.
Since the crusade of the Help and Hope
Mission has brought the subject Of the
social evil SO prominently before the public
it should be discussed in all its various
phases. Contrary ia the general belief the
Division is not alone a resort for immoral
different treatment than simple attempt
10 reform its denizens. Under the protec

a hive Of iniquity, where drinking de-
bauuhes form the principal source OF

THE Politician is the title of the satir-
ical comedy in which Roland Reed ana his
excellent company of players appeared at
the Lafayette Square Opera House last
night.
The authors OF THE Politician" u. d.
Lloyd and Sidney Rosenreid, may honestly
be congratulated upon the result of their
labors, and Mr.. Reed none the less Tor having
secured play in which he has a part that
fits him ike glove and in which he appears
TO better advantage than IN anything hc has
created in recent Years.
Gen. Timber is character that will
rank with the best American character
creations.
His ability to make the Congressional bee
buzz in the bonnet OF Peter Wooiv, even
against the wish OF the candidate is q fine
piece OF acting; his bringing about his nnm-
nation and the means TO do il viii leave
nothing to the Imagination OF any one,
whether he has ever taken part in a
political campaign or not.
Sheridan Tupper as Peter Wooley, the
candidate, was splendid piece of acting.
William Bernard as Perriwinkle, WHO
has lived 50 long abroad, was an excellent
portrayal of a man with the Anglo-A meri-
eau fever and one of Wooley's strongest
supporters. Charles Wyngate as the young
lawyer aud John Bunny as the Irish SER
want were pleasing in their parts, and as
he delegates o the convention Julian Reed
ard James Douglass were true TO nature
and hard workers for the "boss's cause"
One of The delights of the performance
was Miss Isa dore Rush as Cleopatra Stur-
CESS, the original twentieth century wo-
man and worker for the introduction of
the woman plank in Wooley's platform.
She was beautiful, clever and original y
Though dressed as mannish as the new
woman thinks she should he dressed, yet
so dain;ily feminine that she cannot help
but please even those most severely op-
posed TO the new woman.
Miss Maud White as the charming daugh-
Ter of Peter Wooley was a dainty creation
and he work of an accomplished act ress
Miss Mary Myers as Wooley's sister, his
counsellor and in love with the general
performed her part in pleasing manner and
added dignity to the play.
The stage setting was elaborate in de-
tail, and the surroundings, especially of
the candidates home, sumptuous.

| none of the popularity was evidenced by
the audience which braved a bad night
to see the splendid race scene, which is
carried out perfectly, and is practically y
the feature of the play.
While novel in scenic attractions and
mechanical appurenances. 'The Derby Win
ner'' is not lacking in legitimate qualities,
and the lines are smooth, iii many places
unusually clever, and the dialogue has a

The race scene occupies the last half OF
the fourth act, and is one OF the most ex-
citing pictures ever staged in Washing
ton. In full view of the audience five
