worry the audience. Much depends
upon the company, and Manager Mer.
ritt has made no mistake in selecting
his people.
Terry Ferguson and George Emer-
lex appear in the leading roles, Dennis
McSorley and Michael Clancy, and
the troubles OF this pair keep the au-
dience amused for three hours. Tom
Ripley plays a tramp part and enter
tains in Enthusiastically funny songs.
Lillian Durham has fine soprano
voice, is an excellent actress and a
handsome woman. Pretty Nina Gen.
nell in the soubrette role sings several
catchy songs. Bessie Seymour and
Gertie Keith are McSorley's fair and
fat twins, Kate and Duplicate. Sam
Howe presents a clever speciality in his
song and dance with harp accompani-
ment. The Gehrus sisters are positive
wonders in the dancing line. Their
toe, and buck-and-wiug dancing de-
serves especial mention. Maggie Fer
guson, as the up-to-the-times bicycle
girl wears fetching costumes and does
a neat sketch and song. Several new
features are introduced including a
gavotte by bevy of pretty girls. and
the New woman at the polls" by a
sextette OF femme beauties. The com.
edy element is we'll sustained and the
musical part of the programme is a
feature. This company comes to

night

A resolution was also passed ASKING

A resolution was also passed asking
the fire department to nominate a
Chief, Electrician and Driver.
Dave Morrcl was continued one
month longer as n special policeman.
1t appearing that the proprietor of
the bowling alley has no legal license,
the Marshal was instructed TO collect
the amount of the annual fee OF So
from him at once. 1t seems that he
had paid the pro rata amount for three
months, but il was determined that a
license should not have been issued
for that period and he must take out
his permit for the whole period or give
up the game.
Bids for the city advertising and
printing were opened and read. Those
for the job printing were from J..
L. Holland and B. NJ. Price. Those
for the advertising came from the
Daily Nympian, the Palladium and
the Capital. The Olympian will
charge % cents per square for first and
10 cents for second insertion; the
Palladium is willing to do the work
for 10 cents first and l cent for second
insertion, and the Capital at - and s
cents. The bids were referred to a
special committee consisting OF Smed-
ley, Murphy and Wilson.

Republican Confession,

The following from the leading edi
torial OF the Newark, \. j., Gail, Of
January oath, contains admission.
that show the people that the truth
will come to the surface. Keep in
mind that this is from an influential
Republican paper which was published
about two weeks ago:
"For the cause of the people has
not representation in the Republican
policy of to-day. There is not a states
man among those who are able to rise,
above partisanship who fails to per-
ceive that the Republicans are re-en-
tering power at Washington upon a
fictitious basis, and that they are in
great danger of arousing antagonisms
which will bring on popular revulsion.
The Republican partisan recognizes
Mark Hanna as his real leader; the
the party confesses debt to the money
power; its President is an avowed adj
vocate of extreme protection; its Vice
President is identified with corporate
monOpolies and trusts; many of its
Senators are similarly interested; it
has spent its energies during the cam
palgn in denouncing Organism, with
out distinguishing between the sober
protests OF independence against mo-
nopoly and the shrieks of anarchy
against order. The Republican party
is compelled at present TO assume the
position of acting as the agent and
servant Of combined wealth and legal
lied monopoly. That is just as far
from the purposes of the people as the
Socialism of Bryan. The party may
perceive its danger, and rise above il,
but it must be at the expense OF losing
the allies who made the big subscrip-
tions to the campaign funds last Fall.
There are now two great national
issues-the growth of trusts and cor
porate wealth, and the corruption in
politics. The questions OF revenue
and finance are subordinate To these,
just as every governmental measure l.
secondary to principle always. and
financial policies and revenue meas
ures are matters OF business. The ag-
grandizement of the few and the sap
ping OF the roots OF power through
corrupting influences are subjects be-
yond the realm OF ordinary economies,
for they touch the vitals OF govern
ment, and unless they are controlled,
make government a failure. These
issues are recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the chief cause OF distrust OF
the American system, and while We
know the people OF this country are
capable of meeting them, there is no
Use Disgusting the fact they must be

Amend the laws SO that nothing is

so they can abuse the honest man by
law.
Make these laws and you will pro-
tect the taxpayer and take him from
the clutches OF the bond and warrant
buyer and the moneyed Shylock, start
the wheels of progress and restore
confidence. Each tub will then set
on Its own bottom.
No law can exempt a man or set OF
men unless at the expense OF some
other man or some other set of men.
Make honest laws and you will have
honest people. Then pass a graduated
income tax law, commencing at one
dollar and raise it every thousand dol
lars SO that those who can pay shall
pay. A law for the poor is good
enough for the rich. MosSBACK.

A MEASLY" PROCEEDING.
ehO wing shat Some Effort Has Been
Made, however, to Prevent the
Spread Of Contagious Diseases.

Official notice was served on Health
Officer Newell, Tuesday, that a severe
case Of measles had developed at the
Olympia Hotel, the victim being a
guest, Mrs. R. A. Perry. In compli.
ance with the law relating to conta.
gious diseases, the prescribed warning
was Immediately posted near the prin.
cipal entrance of the hotel. But il
seems that this action did not suit the
personal interests or aesthetic sense OF
propriety of somebody living at this
nobby resort, and it mysteriously dis.
appeared, almost as soon as the officers
back was turned. 1t was removed by
somebody having neither respect for
law, regard for public safety, nor fear
of consequences, to restrain him or her
from an act which merits severe pun
ishment. Other notices were subse.
quently posted which met the same
fate, which shows that their removal
was deliberate act of lawlessness.
Section of the ordinance for pres
ervation of the public health provides
that the attending physician shall in
all cases Of contagious disease notify
the Health Officer, giving name, resi-
dence, etc. Section requires the said
physician to report recovery and to
certify that the house has been thor.
oughly fumigated. BY section 9 it is
provided that the Health Officer shall
cause to be placed card of warning in
a conspicuous place that contagion ex-
lists in that locality, and that nobody
shall remove the card, under penalty
prescribed. The warning is to remain
displayed, the ordinance stipulates,
until its removal is sanctioned by the
Health Officer.
1t will be seen that the proper off,
GERS have not been remiss in their eff
forts to discharge an important duty,
and if the germs of infection spread,
the responsibility will not rest upon
them. That their efforts have been
set at defiance is plain, while the alb
sence of proof to convict is quite as OBJ.
vious.
1t may be stated further that the
duty which the law imposes has not
been respected by physicians as closely
as is desirable. This is not the first,
nor the second case Of measles, if re-
ports be true, that has developed at
this same hashery, and at least one
other case is known to have existed
elsewhere that was not reported.
The experience Of several years ago
should not be forgotten. A virulent
Case OF smallpox ran nearly its whole
course, in the middle of the city, be-
tore the attending physician reported
It as such, and its consequent spread
and loss of life are matters of local
history. The people cannot, therefore,
ctomplacently tolerate acts which may
be traught with the most fearful con-
sequences.
