FRANK ZEHRuNG RETURNS.

Frank c. Zehrung came back from
New York in the east wind that blew
Thursday Five weeks on the Rialto
have made him more youthful and
bouyant than ever.
mo. / am not ready to make de-
tailed announcement of the bookings OF
the Funke opera house for the coming
season" he said yesterday. The fact
that this is a presidential year will
make the season late in starting, and
there will be fewer companies on the
road than there has been in ten years.
Such people as Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney
Drew. Charley Dixon, Donelly and
Gerard. who used to have companies
of their own will abandon starring and
join other companies. The companies
that do go out will be unusually strong.
The Funke opera house will this
season present as fine a line of attrac-
tons as will come west" And then
Mr. Zehrung modestly named a few
of the bookings and remarked incident
ally that Lillian Russell will present
the new opera american Beauty at
his house October 80.
September first Mark Murphy will
appear in 'O'Dowd's NeighbOrs,' and
the Spooner Dramatic company, which
should not be COMPOUNDED with the
Cecil Spooner company. will play a
guard encampment
''Of course i have arranged for a
return of all of the old favOrites such
as Roland Reed and Walker White
sides. Whitesides. by the way, will
put on the Merchant of Venice.
THE formal opening of the Funke
will occur September "a and 25, when
Jacob Lifts famous attraction In Old
Kentucky will be presented.
Shore Acres will come again for
two nights and a matinee.
Rob Roy, the opera which had
such a successful season in New York,
will be heard at the Funke sometime
during the winter.
CLAY Clement will come to the
Funke. probably for two nights. in The
Old Dominion and The Bell"
Mr.. Zehrung says his list is much
larger than ever before. A full publ
cation will be made later.
Mr.. Zehrung saw Cecil Spooner who
is an cid Lincoln favorite She has OBJ
tanned high favor with the greatest
vaudeville magnates in the country.
She has danced with great success in
Kieth's houses in Boston and New
York, and has all of her time for next
season booked in the east. Miss
Spooner may come west in the summer
and IL she does, she will appear at the
Funke. Mr.. Zehrung also visited the
HOldens at Rochester, Ind, where they
have a beautiful summer home.

He assured Mr.. Calhoun that he, Bry-
an, would die in the ditch with him."
Calhoun died in the ditch while Mr..
Bryan danced on the upland. He
dropped Calhoun and took up Harley
with the same agility that he dropped
free trade and took up free silver.
Calhoun suffered what most of the
men who have tied themselves to Mr.
ground and cast down. Everybody
knows why Mr.. Calhoun left Lincoln
and Nebraska.
The most gigantic trick ever played
on a political convention was that
which won for Mr.. Bryan the nomina-
ton for the presidency in Chicago.
And that disgraceful incident in St
Louis. The familiar words: His
honor rooted in dishonor stood. and
have been more than once applied to
Mr.. Bryan. With a contemporary we
say: Honor and honesty should go
together When the convention met il
was evident that there was a majority
in favor of Mr.. Bryan. but opposed to
Mr.. Sewell, his colleague on the Chi
cago ticket. Senator Jones. of Ar
kansas. chairman of the democratic
national committee and chief manager
Of Mr. Bryan's campaign, telegraphed
that fact to Mr.. Bryan, asking what
should be done in case Mr. Sewall was
not nominated, and adding, II favor
your declination." Mr. Bryan at once
replied: Il entirely agree with YOU.
Withdraw my name if Sewall is not
nominated. Mr.. Sewall was not NOM
mated. but Mr.. Bryan's name was not
withdrawn; nor was his message to
Senator Jones officially announced to
the convention, although it was printed
In the public press. And now Mr..
Bryan hedges and trims, and says he
does not know whether he will accent
the nomination or not So the case
stands today, and ii arouses a few in
teresting questions. Did Mr.. Bryan
graphed. 1 entirely agree with you
that is. in declining to be nominated
IL Mr.. Sewall was not-Withdraw my
name? II he did, why is he hesitating
over II now? And why did not Sena-
tor Jones withdraw his name. as he
was hidden to do. or at least have that
telegram officially announced to the
convention? By what right did he
suppress an important message involy-
ing the honor and integrity of the
chosen leader of his party? prompt
and unequivocal explanation from
either Mr.. Bryan or Senator Jones. or
both, is in order. If it is not forth
coming. il will be difficult to pursuade
honorable men that Mr.. Bryan is not
deliberately selling OUT his colleague
on the Chicago ticket. and that Sena-
tor Jones is not conspiring with him TO
that end.
In this campaign Mr.. Bryan is the
advocate of a policy that looks to the
reputation of a per cent of all debts.
Mr.. Bryan's private honesty is hardly
equal to the task of balancing his pub
lie dishonor.

Every man knows that statehood, 50 far
rs Catron's ability to bring it about, has
been doomed ever since Speaker Reeds
dictum against the silver states was ut
tered two months ago, and it is quite
patent that the secret of the whole attack
on Gov. Thornton rests in the fact that
he arrived in Washington In the nick of
time to drive few healthy spikes in
Catron's Doodle scheme to saddle an I'M
lawful debt of nearly half million dollars
on the tax payers of Santa Fe and Grant
counties.
Governor Thornton needs no defense,
and all the boodlers can say and write of
his present mission to Washington can
have no weight in the minds of the peo-
pie of New Mexico. He is there to pre-
vent fraud. He is there to oppose the
jobs that T. B. Catron has put up on the
toiliDg masses of this territory, and he is
there to do his duty not only as the chief
executive of New Mexico, charged with
the protection of the welfare of all the
people, but as citizen and taxpayer
earnestly working IN the cause of right.

Republicans are always glad, of course,
TO dodge silver, but had anybody de-
clarea fifteen days ago that this assem-
blage OF New Mexico Republicans would
ignore the fundamental principle of their
party--and Morrison there, too--he would
have been declared fl subject for an
asylum. 1t was rank piece of coward
ice, and if this ls the effect which the
Grant county split has had upon the Rs
ppblicans throughout the territory it will
be long time before scores are fully

ANY refuge in storm il the motto OF
the Catronist organs now. They quite
understand how completely Catron has
failed to keep his promises, hence Zach
ridiculous apologies for defeat as this ap
pear in the Republican prints: "Santa Fe
and Grant counties must acknowledge
aud agree to pay those contracted debts
before the east will give Us statehood"
catron has given the order, being inter
ested probably to the extent of a large at
torney's fee, and his heuchmen promptly
obey. But that sort Of rot won't go
down with the people.

CATRQM ATTACKS the GOVERNOR.

Through the medium of his private Sec
sends communication from Washing
ton to the Albuquerque Citizen concern
ing the Brice- Coler bond steal which, in
the language of the Citizen, is designed
TO "roast" Gov. Thornton because of his
appearance III Washington in the par
ticular interest of the long suffering tax
payers of Santa Fe and Grant counties
and generally in behalf of those of our
people who are concerned in the success
of those several territorial institutions
for which bonds we're provided by the
last legislative assembly. The text Of
the article is chiefly confined to personal
sbnse of the governor, and, as matter
of course, abounds in falsehOod and mis-
representation of the grossest character;
but running through it here and there are
glints of evidence showing how hard hit
was Delegate Catron by the timely ar
rival of Gov. Thornton in Washington.
For instance, this communication SOL
EMMY informs an anxious public that
the governor "did not call upon Mr.. Cat
ron to learn the status of the bill" This
was great oversight on the part of the
governor, to be sure, but as Catron was
known to be in favor Of the Brice bond
steal, and was known to be the attorney
of record for the Colers, it is just pos.
sible that Gov. Thornton, who went there
in behalf of the Taxpayers, preferred to
gather information as to "the status Of
the bill" from sources other than Delegate
Catron. Again, it is charged in this com.
munication that Gov. Thornton's visit to
Washington at this time has inj ured state
hood. This is the veriost rot on its face.

We have it from undisputed authority
