vnding One in Mexico.
City of Mexico. Dec. 12.-The silver
question continues to be the great top
ic of public discussion. 1t is now GER
tain that the silver miners and farm
ing classes will make common cause
against the adoption of the gold stand

mines in gold standard countries will

of silver. while Mexican mines can
continue to be operated: also that sill
yer mining and agricultural interests
have more claim on the protection of
the government than railways or mer-
chants.
Meantime all prices are being raised
and there is much anxiety felt among
the middle classes, especially wage
earners and salaried men.

served a better house. The horses We're
conspicuous for their absence, but a
"supe" in the wings made good with
a pair of sticks. Louise McCullum, as
"Cigarette,' was the center around
which the other characters reVOlved.
She did her part well, from the time she
lit her first cigarette to the finale when
Mrs Watson played a few bugle calls
on her gold cornet, and the orchestra
played ''Allonsi EnfantS de la Pa

curtain fell, while poor Cigarette"
was covered with a faded piece of tri-
colored bunting. The much advertised

The sand storm consisted of a dense
smoke, suggestive of a cheap cigor.
