Topeka, Kas, Nov. N.-(Special.) Attor-

THE CITY ELECTION.


 The city election is happily over and the result of the same will be found elsewhere in these columns.
 Mr. D. O. Bell has been elected Mayor by a plurality, in view of his lateuess in entering the campaign, which must indeed be surprising and gratifying to him and his friends. MT. Bell has in the past been Mayor of Pine Bluff and his past admins tration will be an earnest of the fu- ture During his term of office he gave the city clean, vigorous, honest and fearless administration, and in his hands the interests of Pine Bluff will not suffer. He is n man of great enterprise, and during his coming term will no doubt work with his characteristic zeal for the material upbuildiog and industrial advancement of Pine Bluff.
 The reelection of Mir. T. Hite Brawn, as Police Judge. will insure vigorous enforcement of the city laws.
 The people have voted Mir. H. F. Wes tbrook a third term as City Treasurer, which is high compli- ment to his efficiency. He has made an energetic and industrious collector and custodian of public funds and will no doubt continue to do so in the future
 The new members of the City Council are as follows: ]. E. Boyce tre-eleeted). Gaoe Meyer, P NJ Bridges, ]. ". Owen and J. NJ. Hightower (re-elected). These are all citizens of high character and in- sures the city an efficient City Coun- cil during the next two years.
 On the whole, the city election has ended very happily and satifac- torily. Of fcourse there are some personal disappointments, and it is needless to say that the duplic- ity which characterizes all political campaigns was more or less in ev- idence. But it was friendly cor test and an exceptionally good natured one, and there will be but few, if any, hard feelings to follow it.
 To the victor and vanquished the GRAPHIC extends it's best wishes and assurances,of lasting regard.

At the last meeting Of tho Political Equality club of Lewiston, Pa, the fol. lowing statement was made: The tax. payers are in the east ward, 127 men and 103 women; in the west ward, 13T men and 89 women; in the south ward. 46 men and 13 women; whole number of men paying tax, BIO; whole number of women paying tax, 205. The number of women paying tax in the borough is almost two-thirds the number of men, yet they are not supposed or expected to know how this money is expended and have no voice as to how it shall be used. Is this taxation by representation?

 ". F. Carson of Tacoma, travelling passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific, and G. Mel. Brown, the company's district passenger agent at Vancouver. have just returned from extended trips through the famed mining districts of the Kootenai country and report the greatest activity, notwithstanding the advent of winter.
 The prospeotors are sticking a little closer to the camps on account of the snow. said MT. Carson, 'but other wise there is as much work going on as if there were not from two to three feet of snow on the ground. The Keotenat is such wonderful country that if half the truth were told of its mineral wealth it would not be credited. A recent find that has excited a great deal of atten, tiOn is the discovery of an actual coppes spring, now known as the Red Blanket, in the Lilloeet district, just north oi Spencer bridge Gil the Canadian Pa- eific. The water i'll solution runs 39.f pounds of copper to 200 gallons, and 10, GOO gallons day come tumbling down the mountain side. This is tne only real copper spring that is known of with the exception of one in Idaho, and that only faws rounds of the metal to tkt l90 gallons of water.

AT THETHEATERs.

Bronson Howard's most excellent comedy
The Henrietta was presented at the Met
ropolitan opera house last evening by Stuart
Robson and hiss company. The performance
was creditable ito a degree The Henri
eta ranks with the Very best OF American
plays and is certainly unexcelled by any
native comedy. Tin ingenuity OF construc-
ton it surpasses, nearly all modern produc-
tions.
The performance was enjoyed by goodly
number of apereciative spectators, VINO
heartily welcome Mr.. Robson in the gulse
of BERTHE the Lamb, and Mrs. Robson in the
character of MIS- Eornelia Opdyke, the
widow. Mr.. Robson was as unique and IT.
resistibiy comic as. ever His eccentricitles
of dress, manner, expression and voice are
unappfoachabie,s for while it used to be the
fashion for vaudeville entertainers to 1m1-
tate this actor, there is only one Stuart
Robson, and he is infmitable Mrs. Robson
has congenial role in the widow. Her
comedy talents are effectively displayed in
the delivery of the breezy and knowing
speeches allotted to this character.
The. other roles are in competent hands for
the company is well adapted for the presen-
tatlon OF this comedy. Thomas A. wise
playes Vanalstyne. the Old Nick OF the
street, with a hearty gusto and spontaneity.
Edwin Hollis Improvisation Of DR.. Parker
Wainwright, was likewise commendable eff
fort, well sustained, symmetrical and dig
nffied, without suspicion of stiffness or d
tendency to preach which some players can
not avoid in roles Of that character. Miss
Lida Mcmillan contributed an earnest, SYM
pathetic characterization of Mrs. Rose Van
aistyne. A most promising actress is Miss
Mcmillan.
The, portrayal of the villain Of the play
for it has but one, Nicholas Vanalstyne Jr.-
was entrusted to Ernest LamsOn. Mr.. Lam
sons makeup was proper enough. but his
every action and drawing information sug-
gested the hypocrite and the scoundrel.
Knayerys plain face should not be seen
till used, lagos guiding sentiment.
John Websters Characterization of young
English lord, and Joseph Keefe's impersona-
ton Of the stock dabbling minister Of the
gospel were good. Lewis Carpenter was sat
isfactory in the role of Musgrave, the old
clerk, and Miss Gertrude Perry and Miss
Edna Brothers as Lady Mary and Agnes
respectively, completed a well-balanced cast.
At the matinee the bill was ''She Stops to
Conquer, and fairly large audience en-
joyed a pleasing presentation of Goldsmith s
delightful comedy. Mr.. Robson, while not
an ideal Tony Lumpkin, gives a rolicking
characterization of the role that is pleasing
even if not entirely conventional. The COM
edy was well cast. Edwin Holt, as young
MARROW, appearing to excellent advantage.
At the cad of the third act there was a
hearty curtain call.

rion. We cannot understand why this
practice has prevailed so long.
It probably rests upon the theory that
our courts must be open to the people.
1t is most likely a survival of the just
dread and hatred that our forefathers
felt to star chamber proceedings and
their realization that publicity is es-
sential to justice. The demand for
publicity, however is satisfied when
both parties to the case are fully rep
resented at it's hearing. If the accused
and his accusers are there, if counsel
on both sides have free permission to
enter and If all witnesses are summon
ed in the presence of every one having
interest in the issue, that constitutes
publicity and insures fairness. The
public has no more right to be present
at such a hearing than it has to at
tend the execution of a condemned
criminal, or to have it's worst passions
catered to by filthy publications. Month
after month court rooms in one city or
another are crowded to overlooking by
prurient people who are on the watch
for the qualification Of evil tastes de-
MED. They cannot get what they want
in books or newspapers or converse
ton. They fasten eagerly upon the foul
mess of some scandal that has been
dragged into court, and come day after
day to listen to question and answer
that may be necessary to the doing of
justice, but that fill the ears with vile
ness and smirch the mind of every un-
interested person who listens. Under
this practice the courts, a part of whose
purpose it is to serve decency and
guard purity, are made the disseminat
ors of all that is lowest and most dis
gushing in human life.
1t does not require any act of legis-
lature to remedy this. All that is need
ed is that the courts should issue the
necessary order and exclude spectators.
We have long been convinced that
there resides within the courts of this
country a greater power to purify pub
lie life, to lop away the taste for the
vulgar and the indecent and to dis
courage crime by concealing the de-
tails of it's accomplishment, than in all
the work that is done by individuals
and associations for public purity and
reform. Why they do not adopt the
practice universally we cannot under
stand. We, therefore, desire to express
the heartiest approval of the case in
point, and the hope that this may be-
come the rule and not the exception in
the conduct of all cases in this country
that deal with the more revolving forms
of crime

%Defcit.
AN ADMIRABLE PRECEDENT.

We wish to commend in the strongest
terms the example set by Judge Brill,
of the district court, in closing the doors
of the court room and refusing admis-
sion to all persons not directly inter-
ested in the progress of the case, when
a particularly unsavory suit was to
be tried before him. The G o b has
urged again and again the adoption
of this rule upon our courts every
where. The option lies with them to
prevent the spread throughout the
community of matter which is moral
ly pestilential. There is never time
when many suits are not in progress
in different parts Of the country which
deal with subjects or involve the TAX
ing of testimony that is not fit for the
public ear, and that would not be per-
mitted to appear in the public prints.
We have laws, and they are excellent
ones, forbidding the publication and
circulation Of obscene literature. We
do not trust merely to the deeency of
editors esld publishers, nor to the re-
pugnance which the general public feels
for filth, but we go further and make
it a crime to spread before the peo-
pie matter that is indecent. 1t is a
most singular inconsistency that we
should throw open the doors of court
rooms. the halls of the people, to whom
soever may come, and allow every Wis
itor to feast upon such prohibited car
