Commencing Thursday, December ~
the Great Lafayette Show will appear
for three nights and Saturday matinee
at the Opera House. This company mas
been dubbed, The Vaudeville frl-
umph." As an organization of refined d
vaudeville artists this aggregation, 1t
is claimed. is without a peer. Fashion
able vaudeville is to-day the nos pop
ular form Of amusement of the better
class of theatre-goers. Vaudeville the
aires are being established in every
city. and they derive their patronage
from the best people, because this sort
of entertainment is refined and always
pleasing and entertaining. The Great
Lafayette, who is at the head of this
company, recently played an engage
ment of 200 consecutive performances
at Kieth's theatre. The company
played last week to the capacity of the
Columbia theatre, Cincinnati, where it
created a sensation by its refined and
pleasing performance.

PASSING OF THE NEGRO.

PASSING OF THE NEGRO.
The coming of William II. Vests big
minstrel jubilee to the Opera House
next Thursday emphasizes the fact that
genuine negro minstrelsy is dead. This
may be regrettable, for negro min
strelsy was a truly American institu-
ton, but. as a matter Of fact, such
regrets are a mere sentiment. not an
actuality. The public would not wish
It resurrected. One of the sure signs
of its death was given when, some
years ago, according to the statement
Of Brandon Matthews, the negro wait
ers at a Saratoga hotel gave a minstrel
entertainment, and the performers were
seen to be Of a uniform degree OF
blackness, the genuine negroes having
used burnt cork in order TO resemble
their white imitators! There was a
time when the real negro performance
was charming, because it was novel
and because II was true to life. 1t is
no longer charming, because 1t has lost
all novelty and because the genuine
negro on the stage today is no longer
true to life. The plantation days are
so long past that the darby character
has lost all its spice, and the negro life
Of today has ceased to be picturesque
The public will have none of it. If i
would, Mr.. West would be the first K
furnish the old-time form of amuse
ment with every modern embellish
ment. He knows exactly what is want
ed. He has studied that want TO
years but until this season he has beef
kept from meeting the demand. Tn
merry, old-time darby fun has disap
peared. In its place has come up-to
the-minute minstrelsy led by ambition
men like BILLY" West, with ample cap
ital and a wealth of novel ideas.

the purpose OF electing delegates TO the
next state convention. Now with COM
mon primaries no one doubts that the
unions would have such a majority in
the convention as would be able TO
carry out any plan. The sop to the
regulars lies in this, the choice of can
didates at the convention is to alter
nate with the factions, the majority
faction taking first choice, and so on
every other time. There would be no
as to which would get the
first bite at the apple under this ar
rangement. This plan would further
assure the recognition OF the Federal
administration to the unions, since the
state convention would send delegates
to the national republican convention;
and the delegates so sent would be
union republicans without doubt.
When it comes to the real issue and
breach between the factions, the propo-
sition has little to say, but that little
is to the point.
! Either each faction IL to take q SEN
ator, or they are to leave the whole
matter to the members of the General
