CITY PRINTING.

The city council at its meeting on
Monday last gave proof of its willingness
to act fairly when the facts are properly
presented, by increasing the compensa-
ton of the official papers $50, making
the sum what it has been for the last
few years. The fact that the official
papers had been selected and had accept
ed adds to the credit due the council for
reconsidering its former action.
The publishers Of papers are to blame
themselves in large measure for the mea-
ger compensation they receive. There is
no disposition on the part of the city
council or the county board to deal I'M
justly with newspapers The papers in
vite apparently hostile action themselves.
One of the most conscientious as well as
one of the most able members Of the city
council voted against the increase of
compensation on the ground that he
knew what the bids We're under the reso-
luton to let the printing to the lowest
Dldder. Ii puDusheTs are intent upon
discrediting their own business by agree
ing to do work for much below what it
is worth, public bodies having the inter
ests Of the public in their hands, are not
cepsurabe in taking advantage Of such
things. The difficulty about bids for adj
vertising is that the paper with least cir
culation has an advantage so great that
its selection is assured, all being placed
on level.
The council has acted in manly way
in correcting an error and maintaining
the propriety of approximate compensa-
ton, even though some of the publishers
were unmindful of their own dignity.

A water main on 23rd street. 9TH ward,
burst last Saturday night. The water
escaped for considerable time and wash
ed away a considerable portion of what
is known as the Rapidsroad. The water
main is not below the frost line at that
place When the pipe was laid the
street was not graded and the subse-
quent grading brought the pipe nearer
the surface. 1t is a question now who
is responsible for the damage, the city
or the Waterworks company.

THEATRICAL.
"a Romance of Athlone."

ChaunCey OlCott was at the Lyceum
last night. and il is needless to say the
house was crowded with one of those
lively, enthusiastic audiences such as
only an Olcott can assemble. It was
none of your cold, critical audiences
that would prefer to look bored rathe~
than pleased, but good honest. hearty
audience that went there to he enter
tained and never let slip an opportun-
ity to laugh or applaud. 1t was an
audience that would be an insDira ton
to any actor.
The play was "A Romance Of Ath-
lone" which is quite as good as an
Irish singing comedian ought to have.
\ play of too much strength woull
make the handsome young hero, with
songs, less of a figure on the stage, or
at least would rob him of some of the
interest he inspires and that would not
do at all.
For the purpose for which it was
written, "A Romance of Athlone" e a
gem. 1t is staged in a very handsome
manner.
Olcott sang a number oe his sCngs
last night, but the one that pleased tho
audience most was The Irish Swell 4"
which is embellshed with an unusually
number Of Olcottisms. The reception
given this song proved that the audi
ence wanted as much Of Olcott az pos
sible.
The company supporting Mr. Ol,"tt
is very satisfactory one. He wiz te
seen at the Lyceum again tonight.
