THE BALLOT LAW.

Shepherdstown Register.
We believe our Legislature would do
we'll to repeal the Australian ballot
system and return to the old style of
voting from the vest pocket. The Aus
tralian method is expensive and cum
bersome and pretends to have many
merits that are positive disadvantages
to honest or secret voting. We don't
believe that the present system of vot-
ing is as free from corruption as the old
way, and there is, in our opinion, more
rascality at the elections now than
there was ten years ago.

The idea of assoeiating Richard Crok-

cratic party is preposterous. Not
only is he outspoken against the fun
damental principles of Democracy; he
is also an avcwed advocate of the lead
ing principles advanced by the Repub-
liean party. The gold standard and
imperialism find, no place in the DEM

Gates them there is no place in the

From a Staff Correspondent.


Charleston, w. Va, February o.
Less than three weeks of the session
remain, and the Legislature has not
yet enacted a single law. The early
days were wasted in partisan bicker'
ings, and filibusterings on the part of
the Republicans. The conduct of the
majority in the Senate was absolutely
without excuse, even from party
standpoint, inasmuch as the only thing
to be gained was a temporary postpone
ment of spe inevitable, the business OF
the body suffering meanwhile. AS
result the Legislature finds that it has
vast amount of business awaiting its
consideration. The time is short, and
during the ensuing three weeks, it is
n: cbable that both House and SeGate
will hold three sessions daily. AS
matter of fect, aside from he consti-
tut,cnal amendment, upon which a de-
cssicn may not be reached on account
CT the pressure of other business. there
is no pending legislation of startling
character.

III VIII De night or tun when those
real funny boys, Mathews & Bulger,
present their newest farcial comedy,
BY the Sad Sea Waves" which will be
given at the Opera House on Tuesday,
February 18th. Much of a compliment
airy nature has been said of their latest
Offering, which has been heralded as
the Rag Time Opera" that considera-
Die interest has been created in their
approaching engagement. That Messrs.
Dunno & Ryley, under whose watchful
eyes this funny pair are guided, are
mindful of the fact that no matter how
brilliant the leaders may be, the sup
porting company can in no way be
made too strong, and with this end In
view have engaged a company of near
ly two score artists who have in the
past asserted their right by diligent
work to be worthy members of what
promises to be a revelation in comedy
and opera. The piece will be hand
somely staged as regards scenery and
costumes; and even though there were
10 merit in either the music or book,
Mathews and Bulger, with the assist
ance of Nellie Hawthorne, Josie De
Witt, Ethelia Levy, Eva Leslie, Trixie
Wade, Delete Walker, Marie Twohey,
Bessie Challenger, Lizzie Sanger, Will
West, Bob Vernon, Charles Gebest, w.
H. Maeart, Gus Mortimer, Ned Way
born, Gilly Gregory, should prove of
sufficiently able timber to turn the most
dismal failure into huge, sparkling
success.

The great big comedy event of the
season will take place when the new
farce comedy, "The Late Mr.. Early"
will be presented for the first time in
this city at the Opera House next We'd
nesday. It's representation will enlist
a corps of performers of national re-
putation and of undoubted talent. 1t
is everywhere conceded as being the
most competent, evenly balanced and
brilliant company of singers, dancers
and laugh-makers ever organized.
More eclat and Importance has been
lent to this performance than was ever
conceded a similar production. There
are fourteen people in the cast, and
each one represents a distinct and diff
ferent type of individuality, and has
received plaudits in every city of the
country for exceptional cleverness and
versatility. Great care has attended
their selection in order to prevent COM
plications and similarity That the
management has thoroughly carried
out this plan is shown by the person
mel of the company.

''Under the Dome" Lincoln J. Car
ter's newest play, will be seen at the
Grand Opera House on Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday of this week.
1t is five act comedy drama, the
scenes of which are laid in Washing
ION, New York and the Samoan Is
lands. Some remarkable scenic effects
are promised. One of these is a realis-
tic reproduction of the dreadful hur-
ricane which swept the harbor of Apia,
March Is, 1889, and which resulted in
the destruction of the German war
vessels Eber and Adler, and the Amer
lean warships Nipsic, Vandalia and
Trenton, and the Bleaching of the Ger
man war vessel Olga and the loss of 144
lives.
Another clever stage counterfeit for
which much is promised is the scene in
which the audience in company with
the characters of the play, make trip
on a ferry boat from Jersey City to
New York.
