That Charles E. Blaney is the only
competitor that Charles Hoyt ever had is
a well known fact, and that Mr.. Blaney
can suit the public with farce comedies
is proven by the success of all his plays.

all the current topics Of the day and
treat them in a humorous "a but he

Broadway Theatre. New York.

The announcement of a new DE koyen-
Smith opera is sure to create unusual IN
terest. as their offerings have contributed
to the most pleasurable of lyric entertain
ments. Their robin Hood" 'ARob Roy,
and THE E-ighwayman' were of such ex-
cellence that it is to be wondered tnat
their resources of originality have not
been exhausted. 1t is to be seen in their
latest offering. The Three Dragons,
whether they have sustained their ex-
cellent reputation in furnishing enjoyable
entertainment. Their new opera is not
written in so serious a vein as It's prede-
cessor, The H-ighwayman,' and the
music is a shade lighter. The title would
suggest that the story has been adapted
from Dumas famous masterpiece, put
such has not been the case. Mr. smith
says that he originally had Charies
Levers story of Charles O'Malley in mind
for a plot, but that the succession OF ad-
ventures therein did not avail him GOOD
material for the stage. However he found
the locale and the characters of the irish
Dragon and his servant interesting
enough to retain. but outside of these
characters, and the fact that they inquired
in the war of the Peninsula, there is not
a line or an idea that is not original WIN
Mr.. Smith. OF the other two dragons,
one is an Englishman on the staff OF Cen
eral Wellesley, and the other is a ieuten-
ant of the Scots Greys. These parts are
taken by Joseph O'Mara, w. H. Clarke
and R. S. Piggott, respectively, a trio OF
very talented actor singers. The principal
feminine parts are a Portuguese heiress.
the waiting maid of an inn, and a gypsy
girl, im-personated by Misses Marguerite
Lemon. Linda da Costa and Leonora
Gnito. The principal comic parts are in
the hands of Jerome Sykes and Richard
F. Carroll, one the chief cook of the King
of Portugal, a pompous funetionary who
aspires to be Minister of War, and the
other the servant of the Irish dragon.
Both Mr.. Sykes as Foxey CUTLER, and
Mr.. O'Mara as Dick Fitzgerald will be
favorably remembered for their excellent
performances in 9TH Highwaynan."
There is a strong military flavor, so
popular nowadays, running through the
opera, and there are some dashing
marches to which a large chorus adds
zest. 1t would seem that the new opera
possesses the elements to assure its sue
cess.

More Silver Nonsense.

s.Sherif1 z. o. Bogert, of Lima, ONO,

a prisoner, is quoted by the Evening
Journal as saying tina the Democratic
party win win in the next Presidential
election on the silver issue. . Evidently
there is work still left for the fool-killer

chance of winning in 1900 if the silver
idiocy can be effaced from the public
mind But not ever Algerism will enable
us to win if we remain under suspicion
of a design to wreck the public credit.

Seccessionist Kenny and Leader
Davis.

The Tribune of yesterday, in its usual
wrong-headed way. made a bitter attack
on Robert Davis. apropos of his difference
with Mayor Kenny of East Newark over
the Hudson ACKNOWLEDGMENT scheme. 1t
takes up the position that the secession
of Harrison, Kearny and East Newark
from Hudson county is not a political
question. and that therefore Mr.. Kenny
has a right to thin and act as he pleases
regarding it, and that it is highly i'm
proper for Mr.. Davis to attack him for
his secession activity.
Now all these propositions are equally
absurd and untrue. There is no con-
ceivabie reason why the secession ques-
ton should not be treated as a party
m-atter-unless, indeed, it may be that men
of both parties with decent principles are
equally opposed to Kenny's campaign of
robbery. AS a matter of fact, the Re-
publican majority in 1895 made it a caucus
measure. and passed the bill in both
Houses in that way.
But we do not see anything in Mr..
Davis remarks about Kenny to indicate
that he is treating the subject from a
partisan standpoint. He seems to discuss
1t as a citizen of Hudson. who is opposed
to the county being deprived of a large
fraction of her area, her population and
her wealth, merely in order to crafty
the personal whim of a local politician.
Mr.. Davis, of course, exercises great in
fiuence in the Democratic organization.
and it is certainly to be expected that he
will exert that influence to punish Kenny
for his INSCRIPTIONS conduct. But every
faithful citizen of Hudson will do the
same thing. Republican or Democrat,
everyone who objects to seeing the county
plundered, everyone who disbelieves in
legislation affecting hundreds of thousands
of people being inspired by the malice OF
one man, or Of a handful of men, will
work against Mr.. Kenny just as strenu-
ously as Mr.. Davis will, and it is only
the fact of his commanding position in
politics that makes Mr.. Davis hostility
more noticeable and more effective.
Just why the Tribune is so welded
to West Hudson secession, we do not
Q for it admits that Essex is
apathetic, that the people of the West
Hudson towns are, at most, Indifferent,
ana that the people of all the rest Of
Hudson county are bitterly opposed to 1t.
