In this age of theatrical productions
plays are as numerous as the autumn
leaves. Some of them are happily
designated, others are not. To the
former class belong Rail Road
Jack The play is always received
with deep pleasure by an intelligent
assemblage. The story of the play
lis vastly interesting and alternate
y humorous and pathetic, interspers->~
ed with high class specialties. The
moral Of Rail Road Jack is worthy
of hearty commentator, that form
OF sin which subdues the mind and
the pity which melts the heart, con-
tributes to elevate the moral and
spiritual tone of mankind, is depict

The Free Press, Milwaukee s new
morning newspaper, about which
there has been a good deal of inter
est throughout the state, will make
its first appearance, it is announced,
early in June. It's mechanical outfit
of linotype machines and presses,
ordered few weeks ago, will. it is
expected, be fully installed by the
last of the month. The Free Press
will be located at 1856 Grand Avenue
opposite the Plankinton House.
where the new company has already
taken possession of two large stores
with entrances on the avenue and on
Second street H. P Myrick, who
will be editor of the new paper, says
that from assurances already re-
ceived, not only from Milwaukee,
but from all other parts of the state,
the Free Press will start out with a
very large subscription list. While
systematic canvas of the state and
city has only just begun, hundreds
OF advance voluntary subscriptions
have been sent in, showing unmis-
takably, he believes, the general
sentiment in Wisconsin for an indie
pendent Republican morning news
payer in the metropolis of the state.
The Free Press will aim to cover the
state news field fully and it has
arranged for a complete general
news service.

The lectures given by Rev. J. FL. B.
Smith, of Duluth, on ''South Africa, :"
at the Opera House Monday afternoon
and evening, were not attended as
they should have been. Those who
were present, though, speak in the
highest terms of the lecturer and the
views he introduced. The subject is
one of peculiar interest just at this
time, and the attendance should
have been greater.

OUGHT TO BE PROUD OF IT.
Our Congress Most Interesting Body Of
Men in the World.

Men in the World.
Ainslees: The congress or the United
States Is the most Interesting body of
men in the world. 1t comes nearer to
being a representative body than any
other that ever existed. 1t is the micro
cosm of the republic. presenting In con-
centration all the extraordinary peculiar-
tiles ~ the nation whose work it is Sc
lected to perform. Its average of ability
is higher than that of any other parlla-
mentary body on earth. Each of its
members represents q larger constttu-
cncy than is represented by any single
member of It European parliament, and
with very few exceptions each member is
a good representative of the constituency
for which he stands. Those who sheer
at congress and at congressman sheer at
the voters who selected them. Luckily
INA sort sort Of thing Is going out of fash
ion. People are beginning to appreciate
congress for what it really is, and it is
getting better all the time.
There are very few members either of
OF native birth. 10 be exact, there arc
Just sixteen representatives. and six SEN
ators who We're q. not born in the United
States. In the Fifty-sixth congress- Curl
ous!y enough, one of the members is
Henderson. the speaker, who is a Scotch
man; But he is as genuine an American
as there is IN the land. Considering the
proportion OF foreign to native-born in
the United States, the percentage is in
significant, especially when Il is remem-
bered that the average member of con-
gress is one who has been given to NOV
ing about the world and shifting his en-
vironment. Out of 352 members of the
present house only 217 represent the
states in which they We're born, and of
this number only few still live in tho
congressional district where they first
saw light. The average congressman is
Il hustler. He has been ambitious or else
he would never have found his present
place. That he has been successful in
some measure goes without saving. and
the fact that so many of them have
broken away from their early surround
ings, and have gained new successes in
new fields, simply goes to show some
thing of the energy and force that have
helped TO make the American congress
what 1t is.
