The grand jury last week was kept
busy hearing testimony in the action
Of the United States VS.. Burke ana
Chase, the civil rights test case in which
Mr. w. T. Ferguson is tie chief prose
cutting witness. The case, as all will
remember, grew out OF the discrimina-
ton practiced against colored people by
the management of the Grand Opera
House during the recent Williams and
Walker engagement. Mr.. Ferguson
and two ladies were elected from the
premises on account of their color. and
rnany we'll known citizens were either
fsClv refused admission to the Orches
ira or were robbed OF their rightful
coupons by 'f1lm fam" process and
forced into the balcony. The testimony
before the grand jury it is said, was
direct and conclusive, and there seems
little room for doubt that an indictment
AGAINST Burke and Chase will be made
ont From the evidence open to the
public at large, the violation OF the law
ia plain and a failure Of the gran jury
to indict would be monstTous out
rage.
Those who are in position to know,
intimate that the business affairs OF
Burke and Chase are in bad condition.
The Grand rental is heavy, and for the
most part the expenses exceed the re-
ceipts, and the hackers OF the enter
prise are losing money rapidly. They
say for Burke that he is gentleman
and is disgusted with Chase's assInine
policy toward eOlOred people, which
mas cost the firm no lees than 81 900 in
litigation. The shows given at the
house are Of an inferior order, and it is
regarded as only a question Of time
when the doors will close for good.
Chase has found that drawing the color
line on Washington's respectable and
intelligent Negro population is costly
experiment. Managers Rapley, Luck
cit and Dwyer, Painter, Herman and
Wellington, Of the other theaters, are
first-Clsss business men and have no
trouble with their numerous Negro
patrons. Chase is cup against it hard"

The announcement that Hon. n. >.
Purinton of Bowdoin, at present mes
senger to the Governor and Coun-
Gil. has been selected by Governor
elect Hill to serve as his private
secretary during his term of office. will
be the occasion of general congratula-
lions, both to the Governor elect and to
Mr.. Purinton. The appointment is a
most fitting one and is a merited pro-
motion to faithful and competent
official. Mr.. Purinton will be no
stranger to his new duties, as his posi-
ton as messenger of the Council and
clerk to various Council committees
has thoroughly acquainted him with the
work of the executive department. To
all who have had business with that
department in recent years. he is
known as courteous and conscientious
official, painstaking in every detail of
his work. with a ready fund of infor-
nation and always the Christian gentle
man. His new position will but serve
to make wider his circle of friends and
to emphasize his sterling worth. Gov
ernor-elect Hill is most fortunate in
his first appointment.

Tho Southern Sentiment.

II suppose there is no danger of
Bryans election said an eminent
Southern banker to a friend in this
city few days ago. What's that?"
replied his interlocutor. Il thought
you Southern people were all in favor
of his election so we are-on the
social question but we expect you
in the North to prevent him from com
ing in was the rejoinder. This con-
versation actually took place a day or
two ago in New York hotel, and we
print it because it is typical of the
state of feeling in the business commu-
nifty of the Southern states.-NeW York
Post.
This side light on the real sentiment
in the South is of no little interest. The
electoral vote of that section is adj
mitted by all to be certain for Bryan
it would be the same for Altgeld. Sui

Settling the Strike.

In his speech before the Massachu-
Senator Lodge dwelt with telling en-
phasis upon the Democratic charge
that the Republican leaders are striv-
ing to settle the strike Of the coal
miners. Far from denying it, he
gloried in the fact and showed why il
! is to Republican interests that the
strike be ended. He put the matter in
light that makes the strike en-
barrassing. to say the least, to Demo-
Gratis. Regarding the situation in the
coal region he said:
1T is an open secret that the man
ayers of the Republican campaign
ma0e every possible effort to prevent
that strike by getting concessions from
the operators for the men. 1t is an
equally open secret that they have
tried to bring about a settlement Of
that strike with concessions to the
, men. 1t is said that il is done for
political reasons. that it is in the in
tcrest Of the Republican party. All,
gentlemen. what a confession of the
. case is there. A strike is a great
/ calamity-a calamity TO the commu-
nifty. 1t is a calamity to the capitalists
or the manufacturer. II is a still
greater calamity to the men who strike
. and who can i'll afford the idleness that
, ensues, and il is. indeed, to the interest
of the Republican party to get rid of
! that calamity and get the men back to
work at better wages and under
| better conditions. That is the interest
of the Republican party.
You do not find any Democratic
manager trying TO settle that strike.
You do not find him laboring to get
better terms from the operators for
the men. Many people believe that
the Democratic leaders melted it. 1t
is certain that they have done nothing
| to allay it, and their newspapers have
done everything in their power to
! foment it and to bring on bloodshed.
In other words. they want to keep that
strike alive, as they wanted 20 keep
the building trades strike alive in
Chicago. They flourish and they fatten
on calamity, and they say to US: 1t is
the Republican interest to have that
strike settled Thank God, it is in
the Republican interest. And when
they are turned loose under the teach
ings of their apostle; when they have
heard this doctrine of hate preached
! far and wide, men who are ignorant
men who are, perhaps, depraved, what
do they do? They start. as they did al

of free speech
