The principal character in 1.-The Sporting
Duchess being a stage creation to repre-
sent the famous Duchess of Montrose, who
made a name in English race track history,
it is easy to surmise that the play is rae

a melodrana of high life and comes nearer.

sporting proclivities of the English people
than anything ever put on the stage. In
one of the scenes the actors make their
entrances a-horseback, galloping on and off
at a lively speed. followed by an open car
riage drawn by a pair of arstocratic step
pers. All this action and display is said to
be only taste of the realism that is shown
in the great Derby race scene at EPSON
Downs, where real thoroughbreds are rid

many people are required in the production
as in any of the big comic opera organiza-

over sixty people are carried by the COM
pany. There are character villains, heroes,
heroines soubrettes swell English gentle
men and ladies and many others who do
not represent swelldom. AS a melodrama
the play is the most pretentious brought to
this country in years. The production can
be seen satisfactorily only on the largest

THE REHABILITATION OF OUR
MERCHANT MARINE.

The war made by the republican party
against the democratic doctrine OF Tree
ships has literally stripped the ocean OF
our merchant marine. The idea of pro-
lection entertained by republican legis-
lation has gone to such an extreme in our
shipping laws that we can transport ocean
freight in foreign vessels all over the
globe cheaper than we can on American
bottoms, and in this way we are not n
contestant for supremacy upon the high
seas. 1t is true that number OF our
shippcrs Own and sail merchant ships I'M
der foreign flag, but Notwithstanding
this fact vast sums of money that ought
TO be kept at home are pulled of BY for
eipn ocean carriers. Not only this. but
we have 40 completely been blocked by
adverse legislation against the shipping IN
tcrests of the country that we have not
n sufficient number of trained seamen to
man our navy, and when the government
of the United States puts new man-oi-
war into commission we are compelled 10
employ foreign sailors. The folly of such
n policy is obvious. and yet whenever the
democratic representatives in congress
have attempted to correct this crying 'viI
they have been INSTRUCTED by dilatory
tactics employed by the republican repre-
sentatives, or totally defeated by brutal
majorities.
The rehabilitation Of our merchant ma
rine would seem to be a business matter
appealing to the sense of justice OF oui
own people that would preclude IT from
being used to advance partisan policy
but. unfortunately. that is not the case
The republican party have made a great
mistake in regard to our merchant ma
rinc, and although the best interests ol
the country are involved in the rc-cstab
lishment of an American merchant ma
rine and the republicans know it, they are
actually ashamed to confess their error
for fear il may tap the root of their favor
lite protective policy.

situation Mt New Orleans.

New Orleans, April 10-The river
gauge here has touched higher notch
than at any previous period during the
present crisis. and is now even with the
highest mark of the 1890 high water
scare, the register indicating 10. The
opinion is hazarded by well informed gov
ernmcnt officials that before New Orleans
gets through with the present emergency
a gauge of 10 feet will be exhibited. So
far the entire line of Louisiana levecs are
intact, and at New Orleans, where the
levee system is easily among the most
substantial along the Mississippi river,
little fear is felt but what the immense
volume of water coming down will be
kept within bounds. The closest vigil
lance is being exercised to maintain the
present efficiency of the levee protection.
