4THB THREE HATS"
Successful Dramatic Entertainment
at the Catholic Club.

The members of the Dramatic Union
of the Catholic Club deserve a great deal
of credit for the excellent manner in
which they presented the Three Hats
a farcical comedy in three acts, last
evening in the gymnasium of the club.
The young ladies and gentlemen who
took part in the entertainment did very
well and to comment upon one more than
another would be doing an injustice. The
characters in the play were:-Sanl Sell
wyn, a married man. Mr.. Joseph a.
Buettner; Fred Bellamy, his unwilling
slave, Mr.. William A. Mccarthy; Capt.
Katskill. of the Kilkenny ~Irregulars, Mr..
James B. Franklin; Dibbs. a boy in but

the scar when a child by Dan Ellington
and his fishing companion. Jim Weaver.
"Snrly Jim"
Realism IS found first in the sea scene
in the FIRST act where Dan and Nancy
escape from the smack just before the
explosion and are picked up by Shocks
and Polly in a smaller boat. Again 1t
comes, and In a more sensational form.
when, just as Nancy is about 10 cross
the weakened bridge in fleeing from Fen
ton, Jim PUSHES on it in flight from the
police, AND is p~recipitated into the ravine
below. Realistic, too. were the prison
scenes, and what is rather unusual, the
failure OF the drop to work is founded
ON actual fact.
This play has been running for over
sixteen months at the Princess Theatre,
London, and since its recent production
in this country 1t has been most cordially
received. AS can be seen from a per-
usal Of the story Of the play AGA the skill
of the stage mechanic. both of which are
taken advantage OF to the fullest extent.

1t is estimated that the appropriations
for this year will be about s515, GOO. 900.
This on a basis of population of 72,0O0,00
would give a per capita expenditure of
about s7.16-
Now it viii be noted that the first great
Jump was made between 1860 n 1870.
when the Republican party was in the
hey day of its power. The change was
from s1.e1. which lad prevailed under
the ante-Bellum Democratic regime to
$4.25 per capita. In the next decade, the
immediate expenses of the war having
passed, and the expenditures being no
longer calculated on a paper basis, the
rate fell to 1884, But in 1890, in the
glory of the Harrison administration, it
goes back to $5.14. In 1894, the Demo-
cratic Congressional interlude ended, n
in 1895, the new Republican majority, led
by Czar Reed, sends the rate back to
s5.As.
Constant efforts have been made by
Republican papers and speakers to lay
the blame for the revenue deficit upon
the Wilson tariff. 1t is plain that the
responsibility does not lie in hat quar-
ter at all. 1t rests upon the party which
has increased the cost of government
with such reckless extravaganza. The
Mslson Act would have nroduced sufh-
cient revenue, for all the needs of gov
eminent if the appropriations had been
surate with the growth of population.

Democratic maysralty Nominee.


The "~Journal' attempted to discount
the candidacy of Mr., Edward Hoos.. yes
terday. by filling the public mind with
the notion that he was to be forced upon
the Democracy by a faction of leaders.
This was, of course. grossly unjust both
to Mr.. Hoos and the party. Democratic
nominations are not made that a
They are made in open primary by the
rank and file of the party. If MI. Hoos
is nominated. he will be nominated in
that way and no other.
It is true that at present the probabili-
ties seem to favor Mr.. Hoos' nominal
ton very strongly. He enjoys great
popularity. He has such an honorable
standing in the business and social life
Of h city thai the leaders feel he would
be a candidate of great strength. He has
the German VOTE at his back, the business
mems vote, in a word the votes of all
who appreciate business. honor and
ability. He is more than likely to win on
his own merits in the primaries. and If
he does there is not a shade of doubt of
his election.
Mr.. Davis is not taking any active part
IN selecting the M~ayoralty nominee. This
is a mere SANDER on the Journals"
part. He is waiting for the voters of the
party to speak. He win do his part after
the nomination is made. No doubt, sny
Of the good Democrats mentioned for
h honor would suit him, Mr.. Hoos, ex-
Judge Puster. Mr.. John J. Voorhees,. or
II other equally good Democrat, as
yet unnamed. Whoever the candidate
may be. the whole party will unite in
sweeping the city for him.
