Although Senator Aliens resol-
ution for the appointment Of a
Senate COMMITTEES to investigate
the alleged wholes.l use OF money
in the late National ampaign was
offered without consultation With
Democrats, it's spirit meets their
appreciation. Democrats have ever
siuce the remarkable results of the
election in number OF States were
announced been anxious TO investi
gate the why aud wherefore OF the
abnormal increase in the total vote
cast. Senator Allen had read in
connection with his resolution q
list of states in which Bryan's vote
largely exceeded the winning vote
Of 1892 and yet he was defeated by
heavy majoritIes. Senator Gormaa
says he is certain that the total al
legged vote Of Maryland WAS vt
least 20. 900 in excess of the adult
male population on the first of last
January, and he would like nothing
better than to find out where the
excess came from. According to
some of the best Parliamentarians,
MIR. Aliens resolution will have to
be chaged little in order to be
effective. For instance, Senator
Morgan said:'.lf Senator Allen
makes his resolution joint, and it
should pass the Senate aud House.
there would be no doubt of the
authority of Congress to probe the
matter to Its furthest depth. The
Senate alone, as | view it, cannot
inquire into an election in State.
or even into the election of Presi-

Henry E. DiXey, who will appear at the Opera-house at an early date, is certainly ut the head Of his class, and proves a better drawing card than Mansfield or Robson, almost invariably. DiXey has the distinction -or what you may please to call it of having been sued by Sir Henry Irving, and the greater distinction of having won the suit. While filling an engagement i'll Washington and playing tAdonis, DiXey conceived the idea one night of a burlesque on Irving, and rigging himself as's Ham, let and making up so nearly like Irving that he would have deceived anyone, he appeared and sang sev- eral verses of a specially prepared song, 1ts English, Quite English, Yer Know" He captivated the large audience but angered the English actor, who brought suit for libel against the comedian, with the result stated. From the Pine B Huff Commercial Thursday, February 27 , 1896. Mr. Dixey, the worlds favor ite comedian, and his excellent com pany will be at the Opera-house next Thursday night.

We observe that Mir. I H. Fitz- patrick, advance agent for Lillian Lewis, is endeayoring to raise the price for that actress upon her en- gagement in Little. Rock to $1.50, the same as he did here. Manager Nichols has also appealed the case to Miss Lewis manager. She may be able to get such prices in New York for the elaborate and expensive pro- duction of "Cleopatra," as we are informed she did, but the people of the South do not hold Miss Lewis in such high regard as to pay her the same prices they would pay to see Keene, Ward, James and several others. Upon the occasion of Miss Lewis engagement here in Credit Lorraine the prices will he the same as heretofore-S1 for reserved seats. The subject of regular prices was presented to Mir. Fitzpatrick by the Manager of the Opera-house and otherssyesterday afternoon; and he weakened" but made his action subject to the ratification of Miss Lewis manager. Reserved seats for this engagement will go on sale next Monday morning at o'clock.
