The California.

There is variety enough at the Cali fcrnia this week to please the most fas- udious It is probably the supposition of the management that there is not quite enough patriotism in ''The Ensign," so there has been introduced the Drum mer Boy of the Rappahannock with his drums and his illustrated lecture between acts to stir the feelings of the audience to fighting pitch. and then they pre- sent three-round go between Sharkey and Baker as sort of solace to their feeling.
 Frederick Paulding, as the Ensign, does some of his best work, and barring a little too much facial contortioh in the last act, leaves nothing to be asked so cerned. He is well supported and the company gives an even and smooth per- formance.

Columbia.

"Monbars," with its thrilling climaxes and stirring lines, was splendidly inter preted by Robert Mantell and an excellent company at the Columbia last evening. The large audience showed its apprecia- ton throughout the evening by long and continued applause.
 Mantell's interpretation of the noble- hearted Frenchman won him an ovation. Both Mantell and Miss RoSselle Knott were called before the curtain by the en- thusiastic audience. Miss Knotts acting as Diane, the suspected wife. was grace ful, and she showed marked ability. Howard Halls Laurent was good and the other characters in the play were cleverly enacted. As Mir. Mantell was prevailed on to appear in "Monbars' before leaving the city, 1t is expected that large audi ences will attend every performance.

Race wars in the south

In the midst of our concern about dis
tant islands of the sea, the defective gov
eminent which Spain has given the Phil
ippines, and the incompetency os the Gu
bans and the natives of the Philippines TO
govern themselves, parochial politics in
this country are lively, and, in our view,
important Race wars are going on in
North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi
In Mississippi eleven negroes have been
killed and the whites in the neighborhood
of Forest seem to be out cunning for blacks
as if they were game The reign of law
was suspended for several days. until Sher.
III Stephenson came to aid her outraged
majesty, and with the help of fifty good
citizens carried five of the negroes in safe
~ TO the idil at Meridian. In North Caro-
lima the fighting between the whites and
the blacks seems TO spring from politics
Owing to Mr.. McKmley's appointment OF
black politicians TO office the whites there
appear to dread the return of negro rule
Now, although Sheriff Stephenson is en-.
gagged in the vindcation of the right of the
blacks to live, and I'm also indicating the
ma jesty of the law, he is, according to the
expansionists, simply performing narrow
duties in the sphere OF parochial politics
We nevertheless, for our part regard his
conduct IN the performance Of his duty a.
heroic and useful as was the conduct Of
any OF our heroes at Santiago or at Manila
In fact, we are inclined TO think his con
duct essentially more heroic than the BRAY
cry of the soldiers in battle because be
stood mp against public opinion in his own
community and invited persecution and
perhaps ostracism. while the soldiers who
fought in the war we're sure Of praise and
honors These events i'm the South are
symptomatic, and until the country meets
and settles properly the conditions thus pre-
scented to it, democratic government here
cannot be said TO be wholly successful
