will be seen and heard 10 advantage in
"The Smart Set" when it opens its en-
lgagement hers at the Lyceum Theatre
'next Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
waen Gus Hnl presents it with cast OF

hard to beat by members Of any organiza-
ton Of any kind This is Mr.. HiWs tn
stention: To show what perfect organiza-
ton and liberaltty will do towards giving
/ the public first class colored entertain
ment.
Little Jim's ride for life is one Of the
'thrilling incidents in Defending Her
Honor" which will be presented at the
I.yceum Theatre April %, "A, 25. Theatre
roers like to see animals on the stage,
and a. horse best of all. Hero" the horse
used in Defending Her Honor" is worthy
OF his name, for he is a survivor Of the
Santiago campaign, and his rugged old
body contains two leaden exhibits Of Span
ish Workmanship. He is as docile as a
rabbit ordinarily, but the crack Of a re-
volver will excite him almost beyond con-
troll, so much so in fact that in the fourth
act of the play, when the heroine, to pro-
tect her honor, finds 1t necessary TO shoot
her assailant, old Hero" Is firmly held
by his stable boy to prevent him from
taking an active part in the proceedings.
''The Burgomaster" is undoubtedly the
most extraordinary operate comedy
triumph in recent theatrical history, and
during the past two seasons this efferves-
cent melange Of wit, beauty and song has
been continuously played. This year the
production is lavish and gorgeous to a de-
gree; in fact, this company may be con-
|sidered an "an star" cast, and has been
received and praised in every city of dis
|tinction and size in this country. In fact,
when The Burgofhaster' Company ap-
pears at the Grand Opera House next
Tuesday night one may justly expect a
musical festival of marked distinction, as
this original organization and mammoth
production will be presented with all tts
wealth Of mirth melody and sixty odd
players.

forage grasses are reported in fine

that Col. Patterson recognizes as
desirable, but, as the latter shows,
his plan would have been very un-
satisfactory to both sides, and
would have failed of its purpose.
The better solution is found when
the old soldiers of both sides get
together and compare notes as to
how it all happened. And at Shiloh
this seems to result in a complete
transfer of the hostllities from the
original contestants TO the represen-
tatives Of factions of each who are
trying to settle who was to blame.
The sentiment of Col Paterson's
speech was embodied iu this pas
sage:
Recalling in this presence the
memories of the past, and with a
heart which cherishes in it's Utmost
core the honor and glory of my
comrades in arms, | do not hesitate
to pronounce a malediction ON all
men who would cherish Or revive
the animosities of the civil war.
Accused be the coward, North
or South, who was a noncombatant
when battles were fought and won
or lost, and belligerent when
brave men are at pea@ei
Accused be the demagogue,
North or South, who would stir up
and then inflame sectional animosi-
ties in order to promote his polite
al fortunes!
Honor to the men who foster
peace, cherish good will and pro-
mote the common welfare!
Honor to the men who serve their
country, who look to it as the pal
ladium of their liberties, and who
would if necessary, defend its free
institutions and the honor of it's flag
with their lives and fortunes!
Surely that sentiment is worthy
of preservation herever patriotism
exists, and it is not surprising that
it met an enthusiastic reception
from those who heard it on that
historic field. 1t will receive as
warm a welcome from the country
at large.--Indianapolis Sentinel.

CLEVELAND ON THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

Former President Grover Cleve-
land was the principal speaker
Tuesday night at meeting held in
Madison Square Garden, New York,
in the interest of the Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute.
We reproduce some strong utter
ances from the speech:
81 believe the days of Uncle
Toms Cabin are past.
81 do not believe that either the
decree that made the slaves free or
the enactment that suddenly invest
ed them with the rights of citizen
ship, any more purged them of their
racial and slavery bred imperfect
ions and deficiencies than it changed
the color of their skin.
81 believe our fellow-countrymen
in the Southern and late slave
holding states, surrounded by about
nine-tenths, or nearly eight millions
of this entire negro population, and
who regard their material prosperity
their peace, and the safety of their
civilization, interviewer with the
negro problem, are entitled to our
utmost consideration and sympa-
thetic fellowship.
"With all we of the North may
do, the realization of our hopes for
the negro must, after all, mainly
depend-except so far as it rests
with the negroes themselves-upon
the sentiment and conduct of the
leading and responsible white men
of the South.
81 have faith in the honor and
sincerity of the respectable white
people of the South in their re-
lations with the negro and his i'm
provement and well being. They
do not believe in the social equality
of the race, and they make no false
pretense in regard 10 it. That this
does not grow out of hatred of the
negro is very plain.
"There is abundant sentiment and
abundant behavior among the South
ern whites towards the negroes to
make us doubt the justice of charg-
ing this denial of social equality to
prejudice, as we usually understand
the word. Perhaps it is born of
something so much deeper and
more imperious than prejudice as to
amount to a racial instinct"

General Crop Conditions.

The unfavorable conditions of ex-
cesive moisture during the month
of March caused much delay in
farming operations, and the work
of blowing and other preparations
for planting is, at this time, two or
three weeks later than usual.
However. the warm weather which
has prevailed, with slight intervals
of cold, has greatly favored the
growth of vegetation, and where
planting has been done seeds have
shown rapid termination, and are
coming up better than usual. Corn
planting has progressed as rapidly
as conditions of soil and weather
would permit, and since the first of
the month good proportion of the
early crop has been planted. Oats
are mostly planted, and coming up.
Wheat and other winter grains are
IN line condition or growth, ana the
prospects for good crops are flatter-
ing. The early crop of Irish pota-
toes is about all planted. Tobacco
plants are reported plentiful and
growing finely. AS to fruit, re-
ports are conflicting, or rather they
are varied; from some sections,
peaches and other early fruits are re-
ported killed by the frosts; from
others little or no damage is report
ed; it is almost too early yet to form
a decided opinion. In the Western
Division preparations are being
made for an increased area in the

Compliment to Col. Josiah Patter-
son

There appears to be general
consent that the most notable speech
at the Shiloh exercises was that by
Col. Josiah Patterson, the Confeder-
ate Veteran member of the Commits
sion, and unquestionablY it was an
address of great force and charming
composition. It's attraction lies
chiefly in the mastery presentation
of the thought that it is not necessa-
ry for brave and honorable oppo-
nents to forget their differences in
order TO hold kindly feelings toward
each other after those differences
have been settled and hostilities
have ceased. His theory that there
exists a "freemasonry among brave
and generous men" which makes
this possible was skillfully put and
very convincing.
The most striking feature of Col.
Patterson's remarks was his dis
posal of Summers proposition to
furl the battle flags and remove, SO
far as possible, the visible remind
,ers of the struggle. Sumner had
the same end in view practically
