 Unbounded enthusiasm greeted the presentation of "The Merchant of Ven- ice" at the Hyperion last evneing. Of course the fame of this great genius of Avon was in part the magnet which drew the select and fashionable audi ence that filled the theater, but the fact that it YVES to be presented by two popu- lar artists who rank among the most talented now upon the American stage namely, Nat c. Goodwin and Maxine Elliott, was partly responsible.
 The play readily recommends Itself to all students of the Elizabethan drama as well as the general theater-going public, for it undoubtedly possesses as much, if not more, merit and dramatic opportunities as any other of the authors greatest works.
 The character of Shylock Is acknowl- edged by critics as one of the most diff ficult to portray, but to- offset this MT. Goodwin possesses marked talent for strong character impersonation and he carried the part capltally. His acting was, as usual, conspicuous by the keen and careful interpretation of the au- thors' lines and forceful expression, when necessary. From the first to the last of the performance his work was q decided success.
 Miss Elliott's characterization of the beautiful Portia was very good. She was seen to excellent advantage in the light comedy parts while the stronger or heavier portions of her acting dis played care and earnestness that Is always distinctive of her work. Much praise is due J. E. Dodson for his clever of Lancelot Gobbo.
 The scenery and costumes are all on a mammoth scale and add to the mag nlticance of this production.

ECONOMY.

The seesaw of salaries goes along in
the Legislature. Each House is pre-
pairing its own particular bill accord
ing to its own particular predictions.
The moving principle has been the per-
sonal occupation of office. John Doe
is a good all round fellow, his wife is
neice to Senator X. His daughter is
married to Representative Y. His son
helped Secretary Y to his position. John
Does salary must not be cut down. If
possible it should be raised
On the other hand there Is Richard
Roe. He has no particular friends, he
is not genial, he is neither connected
with Senator X, nor Representative Y
nor Secretary u. There is no use both
ering about him. Let his salary be cut
down, and so much saved to the Terri
tory.
That economy should be practiced
The Star thoroughly believes in but it
should be economy upon a system not
economy upon a haphazard fashion,
and certainly not upon a personal
basis. 1t was only the other day that
member was very wrath because an
office had been abolished which rela-
ton of his occupied, office
might have gone, but this never. There
was no consideration as to the effici-
ency of the Department, and how it
would be affected 1t was simply .bas-
ed upon personal idea. MY relative
must be saved.". says the statesman.
"Others can and ought to go in the in
terests of economy"
In making reductions the fairest way
would be a sliding scale reduction. This
would mean a heavy percentage upon
the large salaries, a diminishing per-
centage upon the smaller salaries until
a sum should be reached which would
be exempt. But such an equitable ad
justment would not suit our solons.
many of whom have their own parti-
cular axes to grind.

A NEW INVENTION.

Anything connected with life saving
an Island community, most of whom
go down to the sea in ships. In Ger
many a new apparatus has just been
invented.
1t has often happened that on ac-
count of darkness, life belts could not
be seen when thrown to persons who
had fallen overheard at night Buoys
with life belts attached and supplied
with S-candlepower electric lights have
been constructed heretofore, but their
use was confined to vessels equipped
with electric-lighting plants, and their
heavy weight, requiring three or four
men to handle them, was a serious
handicap.
The new apparatus weighs but SO
pounds and produces n light equal to
$50 candlepower. The buoy is of a glo-
bular form, carries from two to four
life belts, and supports long cylinder
of sheet tin having twelve compart-
ments filled with carbide of calcium
These compartments are arranged at
different elevations. When the appara-
tus is thrown into the sea, the water
passes through perforations in the bot
tom of the cylinder and, coming in
contact with the carbide, generates
acetylene gas. Each compartment is
| connected with a burner by a pipe
proper valves preventing the escape of
the gas other than through the burner
When the volume of gas in the cylinder
decreases, hydrostatic pressure opens
the valves and allows water to enter
the next compartment to generate an
additional supply of gas. The gas is
lighted electrically, and ignition takes
place in about twenty-five seconds
after the buoy is thrown into the sea-
The flame is protected from the wind
by glass and burns steadily and with
great intensity for three or four hours.
Cleaning and filling the apparatus re-
quires only "a few minutes. The cost
of charge is about ~ cents.
The advantages claimed for the in
ventiOn, are: First, that it can be used
on all kinds of vessels; second, that it
may be used for general lighting pur-
poses third, it's cheapness and light
weight.
In our inter-island traffic there have
been quite a number of accidents at
night, and it has been found impossible
to save the unfortunates who have fall
en- overheard. The Star recommends
this invention to the two inter-island
steam companies as one well worth
looking into.

The German Government finds 1t
necessary to subsidize German schools
outside it's own boarders. This is a step
quite new in the history of education.
Consul Hill, of Amsterdam, reports
that. in a recent German appropriation
bill, provision has been made for sub
ventions for 1875 schools for the German
education of German children in for
eign countries. For a school at Con-
stantinople, $7,14O is allowed; for three
schools at Buenos Ayres, $4,2S4; for one
at Galatz, $2665; and $3.50 for high
burghal school and 1898 for a deacon
school at Antwerp. A high school for
girls at Brussels also receives $3.50.
Four schools at Bucharest together re-
ceive $780, A school at Pretoria is
granted SLABS and one at Johannes
burg, $2,522.S0 There are 29 German
schools in Brazil, IL in China, ~ in the
British colonies, IL in Roumania. II in
Egypt, etc. - 49,. -Ea4a

DEMOCRATIC POLICY IN CONGRESS.

the democratic minority holds together and presents
solid front all party questions. it will he able to
accomplish very much more than pessmistc and luke
warm adherents of the party imagine There is no
doubt that that is the way pave the way for future
party success.
All of questions will come before the present
session of congress upon which the democrats should

pubcans divided should be fought out on the old
democratic principle that the only ustifabe tariff is

THE MATTER OF CLASS RATES.

The news has been sent out from Austin that a
great gathering OF railroad traffic men is expected in
that city on December II to oppose the reduction in
class rates proposed by the railroad commission
Opposition from the railroads to any reduction of
freight rates is natural enough but in view of what
has been said to the commission in the past-the re.
cent past at thaby their traffic managers and attor
neys there is room for questioning the logic Of
fight they are reported to be preparing in this case
The commission has frequently been importuned to
make rates faVoring the products Of State manufac-
tories Those who have asked il to do this have i'm.
variaby asserted that the railroads looked with favor
upon such proposition, and they in number IT
instances backed up by freight agents in their asser-
tons, After studying the question the commission

nouneed however. that if the railroads were as anx-
they claimed TO be to help along the industrial
development of Texas they might put in manufacturers
their account without fear Of commission
interference. This suggestion was never acted upon
however.
Now the commission proposes by a direct method.
TO place the mercantile and manufacturing interests OF
the State something like fair basis of competition
in the matter of rates with St Louis other outside
interests OF that character and forgetting their former
expressions desire for authority take this same
step the railroads lining to prevent IL possible
the commission from doing They object so the re-
port is to the great reduction of rates that he
made to accomplish the commissions purposes.

that smaller than the earnings from such business
would be IL it originated within the State their motive

increase their State business is not easily discerned
