WHO SAVED LOUISIANA?

The Vicksburg Commercial, in
column of most pertinent aud pun
gent comments on the report OF
the recent speech Of Senator Nc
Emery before the Choctaw Ciuo'
in this city, explaining his course
in the Senate i'll voting for the
Dinglcy tariff bill, says:
There is no intelligence in ap.
p,auaing Senator McEnery upon
his vote for the DinsIey law for
these reasons. The tax on sugar,
hts local Understanding the dit
ftreutial robbery-is for revenue
strictly. That is, the revenue 1t
Yields is so essential that the tariff
on it was compulsory. The whole
range of imports has been eShaus
teu-arlicles never before taxed
have been placed on the duty lists
and yet the receipts will barely
meet the expenses. Without the
millions to be derived from sugar
IL large deficit would be certain.
With it, there are grave doubts OF
any surplus for the next two
gears. Hence, the tax on raw SUI
gar would have been imposed had
McEnery and every Louisiana Con.
gresham fought the bill. The
proof of this assertion, the facts OF
the revenue condition, are SO pat
ent that the claim OF thanks and
applause for Senator MuEnecy on
this score is wholly Without War
rant.
The admirers Of the Senator
claimed that he saved Louisiana.
They hold that if the Senator had
not voted as he did with the Re
pubIiuanS, for Il Republican tariff
bill, the clause giving protection
to Louisiana sugar would have
been lost, and the great sugar III
terest Of Louisiana would have
been dealt a terrible blow, If moi
actually ruined.
Ii this WAS the situation, if thu
sugar planters of Louisiana OWE
the sugar schedule in the tariff t
Senator McEnery, aud not to tn,
Republican party, the question
comes up with immense emphasis
What did the sugar planters gain
by rcuouucing their Democrac,
and embracing the Republican
party, doctrine, negroes and all
II their aposti.sy awaited theu
! nothing, and they had at last t
DC saved by Democratic Senate
: who sacrificed himself to the Re
publican Blal for their sakes, Wh;l

The entire affair comes to this

NOTES OF THE THEATERs.
Two Comedies at the MetropOlitan
Theater Tonight.

The story told in the comedy The
Grey Mare" which the Giffen-Neill
company will present at the Metropol-
ian tonight, laughably illustrates what
trouble a man can get into by telling
an untruth.
There's a man in this comedy named
David Maxwell, and he has wife
who, as the saying goes, keeps David
under her thumb. Men with this sort
CT wives are pretty apt to be in great
trouble and WOrriment most OF the
time. David is no exception to this
rule. Then there is fiery French
count named De Chevrelle, who does
not want his daughter to become
wealthy because he's a socialist and
consequently objects to any one having
money.
Mr.. James NeiIl will also make his
first prominent appearance tonIght IN
Brander Matthews literary gem, THE
Decision Of the Court"
r. L. Gi6en, mana ser of the GIften-
Neill stock company, is at present IN
Chicago on business.
Farce comedy in its best expression
will be given at the Grand opera house
for two performances, commencing
Wednesday matinee, June 8. Ward and
ceurs Will be the producers, and "a
Run on the Bank will be the pro-
duction This is the third year of
Ward and Vokes as stars. They are
surrounded by clever people, and do
not by any means attempt to give the
entire SHOW. The result is a bright,
clean bill of excellent speciality work,
bound together under the title OF "A
EuD on the Bank"
