POiPs NOnderlnil n d Theaeer.

McAvoy and May convulsed the big audience at Polls last night until the people were exhausted from laughing. The sketch used is called Crazy Con- glomerations, and 1t is very funny in every line and act and literally brings down the house. Milton and Dollie Mo- bes are earning golden opinions for their superb work in the comedy, why Walker Reformed The situation when Tom Walker comes home from the club very much under the weather and meets his fearful wife is capitally given. The Tennis trio of club swing CTS are sensationally good. Their skill with the clubs is phenomenal and they arrange their act very prettily. Nellie Waters is singing Irish songs and car rying every audience by storm. Others on the bill are Jessie Willard, cornetist; the Misses Earle and Shepard sou brettes; Murphy and Nolan in talking act, Brandon and Regime, and the Har- pers. Prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies at matinee, 10 cents; reserved seats, 30 cents.

got their freedom, though they did not need it. The chief arguments against the English colonial system-if system it could be called-are:
 First-The colonies are governed by the aristocratic class. They do not care for business. They want to rule, and the governing positions are made for them. We have no class of this kind.
 Second-The character of our democ- racy is such that if we had the right kind of men we would not care to pay them. For example, the governor ot Alaska gets only $2,600, while from England he would receive anywhere from s5 to $5O000. The Falkland Is- lands,' with 10000 inhabitants, has governor, with $5,000 a year Hong Kong, with 22000 inhabitants, has governorship worth $52,OOO a year. Ja- maica's governor gets SSo000 year The American democracy would not all low congress to appoint a governor at 3O,OO0 a year. Why, General Wood was offered recently $25,0O0 year by pri- vate company, but the president and his cabinet persuaded him that his duty lay in sticking to his maj r-generalship with S7 700 a year. We cannot always have men like General Wood ready to throw away $1S,00O a year for senti- ment.
