The most remarked thing about
the Boston Ideal Opera Co., next
to the superiority of The voices
possessed by its leading singers,
is the beauty Of the girls in the
chorus. For the past nine years
the chorus of this company has
had the reputation of being un-
equaled by that Of any other sim
liar organization. This is not only
due to lavish expenditure of
money, bnt to careful attention to
detail in every particular, for
which the manager, Mr.. NJ. A..

The Constitutional Amendments.

Nearl a score of constitutional
amendments will be submitted to
the people of the State at the
election to be held in November.
Several of these amendments are
for the purpose of raisiagkhe
salaries of certain State officiaA,
and one of them has for it's OF
ject the creation of six additional
Judges at $4,000 per annum each.
These, in our opinion, should be
voted down and defeated. Our
reasons for this belief will be given
later. Most, if not all, the other
amendments should, we think, be
adopted. Why we think so will
be stated in future issues. In the
meantime, we call attention to the
following telegram which appear
ed in the N. 0. Times-Democrat
of the 18th inst:
Atlanta, Ca, August 1.-THE
Georgia Legislature adjourned its
summer session of fifty days at
midnight. Among the acts passed
was one increasing the salary of
the Governor from $4,000 to $4,000,
those of the Supreme Court JUS
tices from $4,000 to $4,000, and
those of the Superior Court
Judges from $4,000 to $4,000 per
yeM. The appropriations for
school purposes will bring the
total sum available for that pur-
pose during the coming year up to
100000.
In Louisiana, the Governor has
been paid $4,000 for several years,
the Supreme Court Judges $4,000,
the Circuit Court Judges $4,000,
and the District Court Judges
$4,000, but much less than 81 ,000,-
900 per annum Ghs been paid out
for education. Observe the con-
trast. Then do q little thinking.
We will help you to think later on.
