OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Chance for the Democrats

The war tariff devised In the SOS was per-
petuated and amplfied in times of peace
In addition to that We shall now have the
war internal revenue tax perpetuated and
made necessary peace measure. All these
things have come to stay, unless the Demo-
enue from the tariff will fall lower and
lower. TO offset this falling revenue the
internal taxes will be increased, and we
shall have two pyramids to support instead
fo one. The consumer will be taxed heavily
for the benefit of the manufacturer, and
then he will be taxed directly to meet the
deficit occasioned by affording government
aid to private ndustries.-Memphis Com

AT THE THEATRE.
Henshaw Ten Brock and a Good Sup
port Entertain with Trip
TO New York.

Texarkana's favorite comedian,
John f. Henshaw, and his leading
lady, Miss Ten Brock, supported
by strong company, gave US
"Dodge's Trip to New York" last
night.
The play is not much, construct
ed we suppose, 'just for fun aud
fun it was from the time the cur.
tain rolled up until it dropped on
the last act.
The play hinges on the fact that
Dodge was shaving a patent he had
invented, and borrowed $4,000
from a rich New York banker, to
help him along in introducing his
good thing" to the public, but in
stead of using the money for this
purpose, he was having hilarious
time in attending French balls,
while his wife was entertaining
handsomely at home. The banker
finds this out and undertakes to re-
cover his money, which of course
he never does, but it brought on
talk, and talk brought out all the
fun there was in the play.
Aside from the cleverness OF Mr..
Henshaw and Miss Ten Brock, we
found deserving of mention, Mr..
George Mark, Ben F. Grinnell and
Taylor Williams. The young ladies
cast for the play were, Misses
Blanche Ward, Ellen Gardiner,
Minnie Williams, Nellie Mallette,
Irene Mallette, Clara Van Vechten
and Miss Carlotta, These young
ladies looked charming in their cos
tunes at the Dodge's entertain
ment, and we doubt if a more
shapely or handsomer coterie of la
dies ever appeared at one time be-
fore a Texarkana audience.
The play had several musical
specialties, but the songs selected
were old and fell on the Texarkana
ear with a 'dull thud." Taylor
Williams, in singing "The Black
Sheep of the Flock, redeemed the
vocal part to some extent.
Tomorrow night we will have the
Southern Kid, new play by
new company, of which we know
nothing.
