ADJUSTMENTS.

THE JILT," BY THE NElLLS.
Dion Boucicault in his day. wrote
more successful and delightful plays
than any man Of his time. The list
in all would probably number twenty
Possibly his best Of costume plays
was London Assurance" which still
stands to-day as a standard Of its
class. He net only wrote the plays
but he played the leading role in them
and continued one OF the American
stages most prominent stars up 10
the time OF mis- death which does not
seem so many years ago. after one
witnessed his most charming comedy
drama. The Jilt" as il was most
capably presented last evening be-
fore a large audience at the Opera
House by Mr.. Neill and supporting
organization. The sweet poetic Irish
atmosphere Is still there and the at
mosphere of the shamrock and the
banks and braes of Old Ireland with
its chiyalrv. wit, pretty girls, noble
hearts and Chesterfleldian speeches
Last night. as Of old. was introduced
with the most charming effect the
song dear to the heart OF every irish
lover and every lover of ireland. BE
lieye Me. or All Those Endearing
Young Charms" etc. The story Of the
plav is too well known to require re-
peating at this time. II is just as in
teresting today as II was twenty years
ago. and the members OF Mr.. Neills
fine organization acted it with that
delightful. something called "atmos-
phere." that has aided much in Dlac-
ing them AZ the head of all companies
OF their kind that has ever visited this
CITY. Mr.. Nell was especially inter
esting ard attractive in the role of
Mvles O'FIara the chivalrous vcuug
Irish lover. His accent was splendid
and true in all particulars. As the
NPill engagement begins to draw to
close the Importance OF visits TO this
city OF such a refined, high class dram
attic organization. presenting nothing
but that which is purest and best in
the drama. cannot but be observed
and commended too highly. Their per
formances il the future will be the
standard by which all other dramatic
organizations that may visit us. will
be Judged. We understand that the
Neills are booked in other cities solid
for the next two years. hut we trust
that mans NAV be altered so that we

PUNISHED FOR A NOBLE WORK.

A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post, writing from Gainesville, Fla,
says that Mrs. J. B. johnson has been
removed from her position as principal
of the Dade City High School because
she taught colored teachers in the sum-
mer vacation. According to this story.
Mrs Johnson had been teaching in and
around Dade City for a long while, and
School, At the end OF the term she was
reelected for the following term and in
the summer vacation was appointed by
the State Superintendent of Public In
struction to teach here in the Peabody
Summer Normal School for Colored
Teachers. A little later the County
Board of Pasco county met and cancelled
her appointment as principal of the High
School because she was teaching the col
ored teachers.
We do not know of any nobler work
that a woman could engage in than the
instruction of negro teachers, who, on
their part must instruct negro children,
and having all the instincts of a South
erner we cannot understand why there
should be prejudice against any noble
woman who does such a noble work. IL
there is one need in our system OF popu~
lar education it is the proper instruction
Of colorcd teachers.

A HIN? TO VIRGINIA.

A correspondent from Jackson. Miss,
says that a striking indication of Missis-
sippi's industrial growth is given by the
charter statistics just issued by Secretary
of State Powers. The aggregate capital
stock of charters issued during the last
two years is S26,5OO,O 900, which is fully 10
per cent more than the aggregate Tor
any three-year period prior to 1895. The
greater part of this capital stock has been
that of manufacturing enterprises, large
w cotton-mills and lumber plants.
The South is developing all the time,
and its development is largely through
corporations 1t would, therefore, be the
height of folly for the Southern States
10 leEislate against such corporations.
1t would be the height of folly for the
State of Virginia to put III her Constitu-
ton a clause that would hamper bust
ness organizations in this Common
wealth

Sdefnin:, the Monroe Doctrine. He says.
that this Is a declaration that there must
be no territorial aggrandizemcnt by any
non American power ut the expense OF
any American power on American soil.
But that it is in no wise intended Us
hostile to any ration in the old world.
Still less is it intended to give cover TO
any aggression by ore new world power
at the expense Of any other. It is simply
a step toward assuring the universal
peace of the world by securing the posi-
biity OF permanent peace on this hemis-
pllere. The President says, further, that
we do not ask under this doctrine for any
exclusive commercial dealing with any
other American State, nor do we guar
antee any State against punishment If it
nlisconducts ITSELF provided that punish
nent does not take the form of acquisi-
ton of territory of any non-AmerlcanI
power. In other words, the President
serves notice on the South Americans
that we will not protect them in any
violations of their contracts with for
eigncrs.
He thinks that we should have strong
navy, and that the present army should
be sustained but does not think it nee
cssary to increase our present army pc
yond its present size at this time
He pays a glowing tribute to the war
veterans, saying that 1--WE are now in
deed one nation united in our devotion to
the flag and that 'tte very complete
ness of our union enables us all in every
part Of the country to glory in the valor
shown alike by the sons Of the North and
the sons Of the South in times that tried
mems souls
It is hardly necessary to say that the
President believes in civil service reform
and the rigid enforcement of civil service
law.
Referring to the Indian, he terse1y re-
marks that in his Judgment the time has
arrived when we should definitely mako
up our minds to recognize the Indian as
an individual and not as g member of a
tribe.
He reviews briefly the war in China, and
says that conditions there are satisfac-
tory, but advocates the 'open door, with
all that it implies: not merely the pro-
curement CT enlarged commerce opera
tons on the coast. but access to the in
terrier by the waterways With which China
has been to extraordinarily favored.
The President congratulates the coun-
try upon peace with all nations, which
promises to continue.
And so we have thus given an outline
Of the message for the benefit Of busy
men, but we can assure our readers that
the message is well worth reading in
full.
