The Theatre Business.

Birmingham seems to be suffering from the amount of money spent last week at the theatres, to judge from the attendance this week." remarked a regu- lar theatre-goer last night Miss Ger trude Coghlan presented one of the clev- crest pieces of the season at the Jefferson tonight and there was barely a corporal s guard present. The same was in part true of Florodora on it's opening night.
 '"rhe Biiou seems to be suffering like week. but not as good as the bill de- serves. The prospects are for good week next week, but by that time the people will nave regained their breath after spending $2O,OoO on theatres in one week.

pemocratic Hopes Next Year.

Those who say the democrats can not win next year leave some things out of the reckoning. They leave out the fact that the election of dem ocratic president next year would not transfer power over legislation at all, because the senate would be republi- can, and it will remain under the con years longer. At no time in the next administration would the democrats gain control of both houses of con- gress. This is regrettable, but it will bring to the democrats all the republi- cans who desire to see a check put upon republican extravaganza and re- publican misrule, who desire an end put to ship subsidies and other vi cious legislation. As rule good leg islation comes out of a congress whose bills must face president se- lected ly another party. congress divided against itself usually gives the country excellent legislation, and such a div, sion of power will be favored by lnany conservative republicans, and thousands will next year vote for the democratic Presidential nominee, knowing as they will, that he will have TO affirmative power over legis- lation.
 And especially will this be the case with those republicans who are dis gusted with Dingleyism and desire a re, cnue teriff, or at least reform tariff. IT ey are legion today, and their Ja.o,nber is fast increasing. These ry9n can sstely indulge in their tariff Views, as matters would stand, and it is safe to say that great numbers of them will vote for the democratic nominee for president. They desire to rebuke Dingleyism, and yet they mis- trust to some extent the democrats. The situation permits them to express in their ballots their tariff views with out eDcountering violence to their other political ideas, and this alone

 You can never make one woman believe another is her friend unless she confides 10 her her suspicious about her hus- band.

From the Springfield Republican.
 MT.

Hanna's measure. It is said that sharpers are already at work among the southern negroes inducing them to contribute toward securing the enactment of the bill into law.
