A GOOD SHOW.

"wang' Is All It's Cracked Up to Be,
But salem is Impecunious.
The production OF Wang" at the
opera house last night was far the best
thing in the light opera line that has
ever been seen in Salem.
The company consists Of very clever
people who can both sing and act and
there we're something like 80 Of them
on the stage at once.
The leading characters we're excellent,
the chorus we'll trained and musical,
tine orchestra the best ever heard here,
and the costumes rich and elaborate.
The trick elephant was remarkably life
like.
In fact the opera was fully up to the
advertisements, and II is TO be regretted
that Salem does not give better encour-
agement to plays of this class when
Patton Bros, have the nerve TO bring
them here. II seems that nothing above
popular prices will 'go" in this town,
no matter what the attraction A dol
lay rate for the best seats gives us bad

DEMOCRATS TALK.

Senator derry, OF Arkansas, Secs No I'm
mediate Hope Of a Reunited Dem
ocracy
In reply to these questions asked by
the New York World: "Why is there
not Democratic governor in any North
ern state?" "What is the cause o.
this2" "what is the remedy" Senator
Tlllman, OF South Carolina, says
"Upheavals in regard 10 the hnance'
OF the country and the efforts of the
Democratic party TO press silver as al
issue have been largely responsible loi
the present condition. The free use oI
money In Northern elections has re-
suited in temporary reyerses. IL viii
depend upon whether or not the North
ern constituencies shall continue sub
servient TO money ia elections, and mis-
representations of newspapers, as a
medium OF education, whether or not
such revolution shall come ne will give
the Democracy hold in the North.
III mention the lavish use OF money,
and, incidentally, the press, as firmly
believe these two things are the greatest
factors in producing the existing condi'
tions OF Legislators who were not elected
Democratic senators and the absence OF
governors who would respect these ten
cts. ! would rather not regain power
in furtherance OF the classes against the
masses Of the people. II We are to become
an annex TO the Republican party and
take up their policies and follow their
schemes TO the benefit OF the wealthy az
against the people, prefer TO await
the revolution which will return the
Democracy 10 power"
senator Berry, of Arkansas, says;
"I believe one source OF our weakness
is that the democratic party too frequent
ly goes OFF on tangent and takes the
unpopular side OF the controversy. II Is
not easy for Democrat to sacrifice a
jot OF principle 10 a great deal OF sue
cess, and so i, sometimes happens that
our party Is not as Close 10 the pulse OF
the people as il might be. With the
Republican party /, is different. Take
Tor example the currency bill now pend
ing. The Republicans who now adyo.
cate this gold standard measure, not
even excepting the president himself,
were ayowed silver men 10 years ago.
They have found il convenient 10 fall i'm
with popular party policy. see no inn

hut this congress may develop new is
sues upon which the party can tind COM
mon ground for coming together and
in harmony. The future OF
Democracy is not At all diseouraging,"

The public is probably aware that
nearly all goods are advancing, every
thing that we have to buy now, each
time we make a purchase we have 70
pay more for the same articles.
Friedman don't believe in that kind
of humbugs, there is no necessity in the
advance Of prices Of manufactured
goods, for the raw material has not adj
vanced in proportion, The advance in
the prices of goods by the wholesalers is
a fake dodge on the retailers 70 unload
their old stock at an advanced price. BY
the time the retailers are well stocked,
by spring, goods will drop about 20 per
cent ormore, so those who carry up a full
stock now, will be compelled to pay an ex-
tortian Of 20 per cent now and the one
who will open new business in the
spring will save from 20 to 40 per cent.
Friedman's New Racket are on to them
and will therefore stop buying and 60 to
selling.
We are making full arrange
ments to go East in the spring

store is full Of goods, bought at extreme
ly low prices, except few muslins and

perhaps some weeks.
Relnforcements Slow.
II is exceedingly probable that he will
be compelled TO retire ON Queenstown
and wait for reinforcements, which can
hardly reach him until Sir Charles War
ren's division arrives at the Cape. The
first detachments will sail Saturday
next. Even. IL General French is not
compelled TO retreat, he will bs obliged
10 pause in his advance.
No news has yet been received con-
firming the Boer report Of the recent
capture Of so prisoners at Mod
der River from Lord Meuthen's column.
II is just two months since the Trans
yaal ultimatum was delivered. Nine
engagements have been fought, and the
British have lost 566 killed, 2025
wounded and 1917 missing or prisoners.
The war office has issued a notice that
after January deduction will be made
from the pay Of soldiers serving in
South Africa--in the case Of privates
pence per day for wives and penny for
each child; in the case Of sergeants, 8
pence for wives and pence for each
child. These sums have thus far been
paid by the government. The order
indicates the belief that the campaign
will be long one.
Boer Advances.
II Is announced from Cape Town that
the Beers have succeeded in repairing
the Leeuwfontein bridge, between
stormberg and Burghersdorp, which the
British destroyed on retiring.
Commandant Swanepot who com
manded the Boer forces at Stormberg,
has been replaced by "a scotchman
