The scribes who make up the MEM
bership of the Wilkes-B Barre Press
club are as delicate in their tastes as
they are eXacting in their demands
when the matter of arranging for their
annual ball is uppermost. For some
time past various committees have
been industriously applying them
selves to work of making the forth
coming ball of the club which takes
place on Wednesday night in the spac-
ious armory of the Ninth regiment,
the most brilliant of any of its bril-
liant predecessors.
The auditorium will be transformed
into a veritable fairy land of especial
splendor, rendered so by the famous
Thurman, whose decorations will be
as superb as they will be generous.
Alexander's orchestra will supply the
music for promenade and dance. and
everything that can add comfort
pleasure and royal delight to guests
will be supplied.
Arrangements have been made which
will enable Scrantonians to purchase
their tickets at the box office of the
armory on the night of the ball.

Sunshine Of Paradise Alley.

There is brecziness and brilliancy and
hustle about Denman Thompson and
George W. Ryer's huge success, "The
Sunshine of Paradise Alley" which will
be seen at the Lyceum Wednesday, Jan.
10, which is exhiarating. The prolonged
success of the piece in New York and
Boston and on the eastern circuits last
season is due to the fact that it is so
happily constructed that it can be seen
again and again without a moment of
weariness. The play abounds in laugh
able incidents, character sketches and
witty dialogue, and the fun is uproar-
iousy funny. The management of the
company and theater guarantee first
class performance and will refund money
If it does not give satisfaction.

MINooKA.

The most Duzzling question to politi-
cal forecasters is the result of the COM
ing election. Some venture the opin-
ion that the Republican ticket will be
overwhelmingly elected. Frank Toole,
Republican candidate for supervisor,
is making an active canvas and his
friends feel confident of his efficient
and creditable record as a practical
roadmaker will be duly rewarded. His
reelection would be a worthy testi-
monial of his ability.

TWO OPINIONS.

National Democratic Committeeman
McCutcheon, of Minnesota, expresses
the belief that /. will be uphill work
TO force the 10 TO silver issue upon
the country IN 1900 as it no longer
engrosses attention, and he looks for
reunion Of the gold and silver DEM
ocrats before 1900 dawns.
And William ID. Bynum, late chair
man OF the committee, believes that
the gold standard, for which the Ma
tional Democrats threw up their for
mcr partisan allegiance, will be safe
guarded or endangered In accordance
with the amount Of support given to
or withheld from the one gold-stand-
ard party of popular strength, the
Republican parry.

ed it in 1896. II the question in Wis
consin this fall was solely, tor or
against the Chicago platform, the
platform would be defeated by a
larger vote than that OF two years
ago, when sixty-seven out OF the sew
cnty counties OF the state registered
their disapproval by q majority OF
more than one-hundred thousand.
The remedy then administered worked
we'll, according to The Journals own
statements in regard to the change OF
sentiment. Would it be wise at this
critical stage OF the case to try an
opposite course of treatment? II tn"
regular Democrats Of the great sound
money state OF Wisconsin can re-
affirm in 1893 the principles OF the Chi
cago platform, Is there much hope OF
the regular democrats throughout the
country setting themselves right for
the campaign of 1900? In order to
do so they will have to reform more
rapidly than the Wisconsin regulars,
who in making nominations in the
late state convention prescribed any
one suspected of standing up for the
gold standard in 1896. 1t Is impos-
sible to ignore the state platform dec
larations in regard to national is
sues. II they should prevail, would
not the silver forces OF the country
regard IL rs great victory for their
side, and would not such triumph en-
courage them to continue in their per-
verse course?
