This MT. Payton does at popular prices, which the public appreciates by filling the theater at every perform ance. This would not be so were it not for the exceptional merit of the enter- tainment given by them, and admira- ton for the enterprise of MT. Payton.

Grand esDera House.

Plays are coming rapidly from the pen of Owen Davis. His latest produc- ton is "A Gamblers Daughter" which is at the Grand opera house the last three days this week, with matinees daily. It Is a sensational melodrama of modern life. The play abounds in startling and powerful dramatic situa- tions. and tells a pretty love story in which the hero and heroine have the usual-or, 1t may be said, more than the usual-troubles, but all ends hap oily and to the great satisfaction of the lovers and audience and of course to the disappointment of the polished vil- lain, who does everything possible to thwart the purpose of the two around whom interest centers. Al the devil ish devices are resorted to by this par ticular villain, and while he Is carrying them out he calmly smokes a cigar or cigarette. He is a good villain-or a bad one, whichever way it Is desired to put It, for a bad villain is good one in a meiodrama. Clara Thropp. as Kate Merricl1. heads the company, and as the heroine she has no difficulty in gaining and holding the sympathy of the audience. In emotional parts she is particularly strong. and she shows re- markable reserve power, being at all times more than equal to the work in the strong situations. She Is a very graceful and charming actress. George Hart. the Fero crashes in through a window with a big revolver in either hand and rescues the heroine, he as- sists in one of the most startling scenes ever presented on the stage. All the others in the large cast contribute to- wards making the performance sue cess. There was a crowded house last night

ENTERTAINMENT s.
Hyperiosa 'I'neater.

William A. Brady gives splendid in- vestiture of Pretty Peggy" the play to be presented by Grace George and her company at the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow night and at the popu- lar matinee tomorrow. The period of the piece Is the early portion of the last century, when all garbs were pictur- esque and fanciful. To the ordinary costumes of the time, however, MT. Brady has been able to add many af- fording striking variance of color and design. The first act of Pretty Peg gy" shows the interior of circus tent and a motley gathering of performers in their multi-hued costumes Next comes the green room of Covent Gar den theater and supper gathering of noblemen and noblewomen, army off, cers, literatti and players. The fol- lowing scene is peopled with guests at wedding, and finally the spectators are given a. view of the stage of Covent Garden, with members of the stock company dressed for performance of AS You Like It." The result of this variety of garbandine should be a suc- cession of pictures wonderfully pleas ing to the eye, and there can be little doubt that much of the success of Pretty Peggy has been consequent upon this fact. Seats now on sale.

As to Those Amendments.

A number of our northern contempt
raries are exercising themselves I'm
duly in discussing how the Massachu-
setts democrats have served warning
on The southern democrats by adopting
a platform resolution cCndemning any
EFFORT to secure the repeal OF the -four
teenth and fifteenth amendments TO
the national constitution
The southern democrats, be IL
known to all concerned, are not inter-
csted in the declaration q made by
their brethren in Massachusetts. IT
may be that the latter. for some un-
revealed reason, have occasion 70 eX-
press opposition to any movement to
repeal those amendments, but the dem
ocrats Of tine south have no reason TO
declare concerning them in any Woras
whatever and we 90 not believe those
articles VIII be even mentioned ia any
platform that The democrats Of these
southern states may make.
Everybody who knows political his
tory understands that the responsible
people OF the southern states dad not
ratIv those amendments. They were
forced through bastard legislatures BY
the bayonets OF federal troops. 10

OF our rc-aamiesion 10 our part il the

A. Word to Cotton Raisers.

The easiest way to produce a panic
is for everybody to whirl in and say
1t is coming and it will come, all
right On the other hand, when peo-
pie are buoyant and hopeful the at
mOsphere becomes charged with the
electricity OF enthusiasm and the bus
mess world thrills with confidence and
activity
The cotton producers of the south
ought to take to heart just now these
simple facts Of human experience.
II present prices Of cotton lead them
to say The bottom has dropped out
OF the market" and they rush to sell
their crop at cents. because they say
next week cotton will bring only 8
cents, and the week after only z
cents it is but logical that Z cents
cotton will come TO pass
1t is just this sort Of feeling that
the cotton buyers abroad III the land
are delighted to see peryade the stu
alton They want the cotton. The
mills of the world are obliged to have
it. They are employing every possible
artificial agency in their power TO de-
press the price. But the real position
Of supply and demand 40 not warrant
the rush to market and an anxiety 10
sell that is visible all over the cotton
belt
There may be cases where the hold
or is compelled to sell TO meet natur-
ing obligations But these ought not
to be SO many as to justify a general
scramble to take any offer made at the
ware house door Those who can hold
their cotton off the market for the
present are simply robbing their own
pockets to dispose Of it at prevailing
prices.
1t is distinctly to the interest OF the
country and town merchants all
through the cotton region to OBSCURE
age such sales. Those made now viii
yield large profits 10 middlemen But
if the cotton is held until the legiti-
mate season price becomes stable it
viii mean immense profits 70 the farm
er and larger sales and profits to home
merchants.

Hoist by Their Own Petard.

Our esteemed republican contempo-
raries are up a stump, SO to speak,
while discussing the Chamberlain cam
paign in Great Britain They are
forced 10 admit that Chamberlain is
using arguments for protection that
American protectionists cannot afford
to deny The logic OF his contention
that if American prosperity is the fruit
OF protection then English prosperity
can be had for the planting and culti-
waiting OF the same rich olive tree.
Al the same time our esteemed re-
publican friends are forced to admit
that when Great Britain goes onto
a protection basis the results are go
ing to be extremely hurtful to Alneri-
can producers The cutting down Of
our British exports will deprive us Of
. great volume of exchanges, and call
for more American cash and less com
modjties to pay our annual interest
and dividend dues to British capital
that We are using.
BY the time the national conventions
are held next year our esteemed re-
publican friends aforesaid may have to
get very busy over the tariff revision
thew are now so cleverly lodging.
