Linda Da Costa's Nellie seamore and

In invading field of romance only seized
heretofore in comic opera, by Gilbert and

The production is handsomely staged but
the human properties are rather musical
than picturesque.
The first name on the cast of characters Is
Mark Smith the Marquis Amari. 1t is. PER

Mr.. Smiths name appears as manager of the
company. representing "Sir William Jardine
Bart" Mr.. Smiths role successfully tempts

The lyrical gem of the evening-the pro-

the kissing duet with Mr.. Gunson earlier.
Miss Linda Da, Costa is the life Of 1.-THE

by owners Of personal estate is this
comment of the Mazeppa Independent:

"a man may be scrupulously honest in
his general dealings with his fellow men
may even resist the temptation to beat
railroad company when the opportunity
offers-but when 1t comes to bearing his
just share Of the general burden known as
a taX-state, county and municipal-con-
science goes to sleep, Veracity takes
wings, rectitude goes of fishing and in
tegrity goes on a drunk. To save 80 cents
or dollar he will prevaricate like q
pirate and deceive with the baseness Of
the heather Chinee. Twas ever thus and
ever will remain so, unless some system
of taxation can be devised which will
make lying improbable and perjury I'M
necessary.
The real reason. of course, lies in
the general conviction that taxation is
evaded, and that If one lists all his
property he simply takes on himself
the burden which others dodge. The
instinct Of self-preservation joins with
the sense Of injustice to drive the man
who would be honest and bear his
equal share to join the dodgers and
escape what he can Of the common
burden. The fault is in the system
more than in human nature.

The Textile World furnishes some in
teresting facts from which some con-
clUsiCns may be drawn that do not
dovetail into conditions as painted by
partisan papers more eager to score
point than promote the cause of truth
Twenty-three new cotton mills were
built in the calendar year 1894, SO in
1895. 66 in 1896, and 40 in 1897. In the
WOODEN line there were built, during
these years respectively, II, 80, 81 and
SO; and of knitting mills, 40, 80, IS and
Il. In silks the numbers were II, 10,
IL and 43, and those engaged in mis-
cellaneous production of textiles were
%, 16, and IA respectively Com
pairing these figures with the changes
in tariff schedules, and bearing In mind
that three years and half were Dem
ocratic hard times" the whitening of
some statements under the fire of these
facts is quite striking. Under lessened
protection and even under the stress of
the panic, cotton mills increased 100 per
cent in 1895; wooden mills, "a per cent:
knitting mills. 100 per cent; while silk
mills, sheltered from the touch of Will
