BIG CIRCUS COMING.
Tho New Syndicate Shows and Pari:
hippodrcme.

The new Great Syndicate Shows, one
OF the largest and best circuses and
menageries travelling, is advertised to
exhibit in Delta Monday, May l3. The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. OF July Oath,
speaks Of this show as follows:
The circus was in town yesterday,
and the Great Syndicate Show with its
aggregation of wild animals, men, women,
horses, chariots and band, all in glitter
ing paraphernalia, again had the fascinat-
ing power OF drawing out old and young,
who crowded the principal streets in the
morning to see the parade, and crowded
the Immense canvas that covers the
show, both afternoon and evening, to en-
Joy performance that was full Of pleas
ing interest from first to last. There is
fascination about circus that ir.
resis.ibly attracts old as well as young.
be the performance ever SO poor, but
doubIy SO when the entertainment is
satisfactory, and this latter is the YER
diet OF the nearly 10000 people who
crowded the tent during the afternoon
and evening. The company under the
management Of Mr.. J. NJ. johnson has
nothing TO fear from carping critics, and
though there are no very great novelties,
yet it was a good. clean, healthy perform
ance. with several very amusing clowns
that kept the the little ones wishing for
them all the time. The wardrobe OF the
company is feature, being clean, bright
and OF course glittering and dazzling to
the young folks.
THE performance, which is given in
two rings and platform, covers pro-
gramme in which some exceedingly
clever people do many wonderful tricks
The programme is long. and were it not
for the rapidity with which the acts sue
ceed one another. and the snap and vim
with which everything is done, the show
would last over three hours. As il is,
with the splendid supervision given to
details by the equestrian director, john
D'Alaa, a perfect Kaleidoscope OF rapidly
changing acts is crowded into two and a
half hours SO that there is never wait
or hitch. The perfect discipline OF the
company was also a subject Of favorable
comment Yesterday.

TURKISH MINISTER'S RECALL.

As a result OF the action Of Congress In
expressing sympathy with the Armenians,
arraigning the Porte for cruelty TO It's
Christian subjects, and practically In
structing the great Powers Of Europe as
TO their duties touching the Ottoman
empire. the Turkish Minister at Wash
ington has presented his letters OF recall
and diplomatic relations between this
country and Turkey have been severed.
WhiN. so far as our direct relations with
Turkey are concerned the United States
may not have much to lose by the rup-
ture, IT Is none the less true that the
action of Congress was ill-advised, ana
was meddlng with a matter which, as
government, we should have let severely
alone. The concurrent resolution ON the
Armenian question passed by Congress,
and some of the language used in the de-
bates thereon, constituted an offensive
and unwlse interference I'm the affairs OF
Europe As the Dispatch pointed out at
the time no matter how great was the
sympathy Of the people OF this country
with the Armenians, any formal eXpTes-
sion Of that sympathy by Congress was
questionable policy, seeing that 1t would
carry with it the danger OF weakening
our position on the Monroe doctrine 1t
was calculated to put us in the attitude
Of violating one Of the two cardinal princl-
pies Of that doctrine, thus affordmg 70
the European Powers the most plausible
Of grounds for arguing that we were not
A. re4 . Ton IN
other.
The most serious aspect Of the rupture
IS that il may be used to excite feeling
against American citizens residing in the
sultan's domains, and consequently neces-
State a show Of naval force in Turkish
waters that will produce complications be-
tween the two countries.

HOW TO nEAuTTFY THE CITY.

Richmond is in sore need OF street i'm
provements; improvements which VIII
make our great thoroughfares more cred
table TO us, and which will encourage
building operations in the East and
West ends Some of the chief streets
of Richmond are to-day In condition
which ought to make US blush with
shame when we compare them with
streets OF other cities not larger or
Weather than Richmond. Our parks,
too. need improvement. There Is not
one of them up to the modern standard
Of city parks. for the reason that we have
not the money needed to improve them
az they should be improved. Worse
than all. we need a better and surer
water-supply for high points, and we
ought TO make experiments in the filtra-
ton Of James-river water.
None Of these things can be done GER
tainly not thoroughly done, until Rich
mond is liberated from her present fool
ish and ruinous financial policy. We
must stop issuing bonds to meet annual
expenses before we can issue bonds to
spend upon our streets, parks, and wa
ter-supply. Our bonded debt is rapidly
reaching towards the limit allowed by
law, and we are making very few per-
manent improvements. What is needed
is the adoption OF businesslike policy
that will cause this city to live within its
income. This done we shall have bonds
"a to-
improvements that will give employment
TO hundreds OF our wOrkingmen, and
which Will beautify our city and make it
a more desirable place Of residence. |.
The limit Of public patience has been
reached. sThe demand Of the people is
for a sensible financial policy. We may
10 on as we are now going on for ages,
and Richmond will be but little I'M
proved in appearance or In conyeniences
Of life; whereas. IL We live within our
income, We shall have bonds 10 sell for
great works Of permanent improvement.
The City Council, as at present con-
stituted, offers no plan for the solution
Of this difficulty. and II Is for this rea-
son that we see a great movement OF
Democrats to elect to the Council men
who will take the matter I'm hand and re-
lieve Richmond of the incubus upon her
progress. II you wish TO see Richmond
beautihed and improved, you cannot do
better than support this movement. II
you wish to see our money spent as it Is
now being spent. you cannot do better
than fight this movement. That's the
long and short Of II.

As TO ELECrIoNEERiNG FUNDS.

Mr. Grosvenor, OF Ohio. who was one or
the members Of the House of Represen-
tatives who antagonized Mr.. Boutelle in
his opposition to the bill in which the
rebels were supposed to be interested
has opened his mouth on another subject.
Mckinley is charged, or his friends are
charged, with putting a great deal, or
good deal, Of money into the campaign
for delegates to the st. Louis convention.
MIR. Grosvenor answers the charge as fol-
lows:
How mawkish, childish, babyish, alb
surd, and contemplate to create capital
against an honest man because somebody
has perchance offered to aid his friends
in the prosecution Of a great national
canvass. 1t may be that the contribution
of money to a presidential campaign is
a deleteriOus development in this COM
try. but the development Of inslncerity
and contemplate hypocrisy and miserable
Phariseesm Is a development far worse
for the future of American politics tran
the other"
Mr.. Grosvenor is candid, 10 say the
least: but he fails to answer the objec-
ton that the richest man will get the
votes. Nobody would object to the use Of
the proper amount Of money, but what
is the proper amount?
