communication the first offer of money

1t is understood that the president
will consult with some of his advisers
concerning the amount to be named

the sum to be paid will not under any

the debts contracted by the Spanish
government for Improvements in the
Philippines. All military debts and
debts contracted in the name of other

MARRIED IN HASTE.
Fair Crowd Out to See the Emma
Warren Company.


Some three hundred people turn
ed out last night to witness " Mar
ried in Haste, by the Emma War
rem company.
Miss Warren is an entire stranger
here, never faced a Texarkana
audience before, and our theatre
goers we're anxious TO see the new
star. Some impatience was exhib-
tied by few before the orchestra
made its appearance in front of the
parquette, and when they did take
their places, they made up for the
wait in rendering a fine piece of
music.
The piece played last night,
Married in Haste" as an annual
visitor 10 our stage. Every trav-
cling repertoire company showing
here has had a reprodu zion of this
piece, and it has worn itself thread
bare, and its reproduction in Tex
arkana smacas something like hav-
ing the same cid tramp with a
change of hats, asking for a daily
hand out al your kitchen door.
With all OF tLis, tn, Emma War
ren company treated the play
fairly well.
Miss Warren has good stage
appearance, a fair voice and her
dresses are marvels of beauty and
fit her like the paper on the wall.
Being preiudiced against the piece
played, We do not feel justified in
criticising her acting.
Mr.. Owen, as CorYdon Foxglove,
the lawyer, was good.
The other actors and actresses
did fairly well.
Between acts the audience was
treated to skits, some very good.
After the play an illustrated song
with living pictures was given and
enjoyed very much,
Tickets were given at the door
on which there were numbers and
the manager announced that those
tickets would be given away at
each performance, and on Saturday
night he would give away six rock
ing chairs to the lucky holders of
the tickets drawn from the hat.
Tonight Michael Stohloff will be
given. This is said to be the
strongest play in the repertoire.
The street car service was very
good last night, there being nine
cars in waiting to take every one
home when the curtain went down
on the last act.

DO WE RAISE TOO MUCH.

1t is over production of cotton
when the people go half clothed; is
1t over production of wheat and
corn when people are hungry and
crying for bread; is it over produce
tion of coal when people are shiver-
ing in the cold aud when the miners
cannot ill the orders2 No, it is
over production of republican mis-
rule, it is over production of that
class of people who are intent on
centralizing the money and wealth
OF the nation; it is the making of
the standard dollar dear, and the
consequent diminishing in price of
everything the dear, appreciated
dollar buys. Where ten pounds of
cotton bought dollar before, un.
der the present system, under the
gold standard and appreciated gold
dollars, it takes twenty pounds of
cotton to buy a dollar. Under the
old system of gold and silver coin
age, before there was distrimina-
ton, one bushel of corn or waeat
would buy dollar in the market;
under the new system of gold ap
probation it takes about three
bushels of corn and two bushels of
" heat to buy Que of these spec cially
favored, appreciated gold dollars.
