ROBERT B. MANTELL.

Considerable interest attaches to the engagement of Robert B. Mantell to present his latest romantic success 'sThe Light of Other Days" Friday evening at Polls from the fact that it marks the first appearance here in several seasons of this sterling and popular actor. Tn "The Light of Oth- CT Days,'' too, he has a stirring drama of the kind best adapted to display his abilities, and one of the most pre- tentious and meritorious that he has produced. The plot is strikingly new with many original features, the in- terest is maintained without faging, the dialogue pertinent and bright, and the situations are strongly dramatic. From the rising until the final drop of the curtain, "The Light of Other Days will hold the most blase of theatergoers spellbound and interest ed.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: 1.-The movement of domestic and
foreign immigration to the Southern
states is going to increase with addi-
tional energy and force. OF course
many industrious and worthy negroes
will remain because they are prosper
ing. but the restless classes will go,
and thus the race question will be set
tied by the well known laws of trade
and population, and the settlement will
be peaceable and without violence and
harm to any,"
The Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) says:
I'VE do not think that the loss of Mr..
Hanna to the nation can be made into
political factor against the party to
which he belonged, or the administra-
tion which will seek continuance in
power. The something different which
the Democrats should offer must not
only be something different, but some
thing far better. That can be found,
formulated and offered. The ethics,
the courage and the wisdom to find and
to formulate it will be better for the
Democracy, and better for the country,
than any foolish or grewsome reliance
on Republican divisions or discords in
a presidential year."
The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.)
says: Exception is taken by the
friends of Mr.. Bryan to the reference
made by the Courier-Journal to his
vote against Mr.. Crisp. No one has
ever pretended that Mr.. Bryan voted
against Mr.. Crisp in the open House
as the Democratic nominee for Speak
er. That would be to fly in the face of
the record. 1t is alleged that Mr.. Bry-
an refused to vote In caucus for Mr..
Crisp, giving as his reason that there
was a large soldier vote in his con-
gressional district which such vote
might ALLEVIATE. The point made by
the courier-lournal was that Mr.. Bry-
an Is a loose. or strict constructionlst
as the case may require when his own
interests are concerned: but that,
where the party interest IL concerned,
there must be no counting OF the costs,
or estimation OF the consequences.

Ex-Representative John Allen of
Mississippi, recently here. figured as
the hero of a remarkable episode dur
ing his journey North. says the Wash
ington Post. 1t is being told around
the Capitol cloakrcOms with gusto.
Having attired himself in his pajam-
as for the night, the Wit of Tupelo
was enticed by travelling companions
into an adjoining Pullman car. There
a game of cards was in progress. The
Mississippian participated enthusiast
tically. City and town sped by as the
passengers continued their journey.
The. game was not interrupted till
along in the cold gray dawn of MORN
ing, when it was discovered that the
train had ben divided during the night,
as often happens with Pullman cars.
Mr.. Aliens car had proceeded on the
way to Washington. The car he oc-
cupied had gone along another route
to a Virginia city, out of the Missis-
sippians line of travel.
The situation was most distressing.
Kindly porters pieced him together
with necessary garments for proper
appearance in public. He found that
his money was in the absent car.
There was trouble about getting a
ticket to Washington, but a compass
sionate citizen contributed the price,
and the Mississippian journeyed to
this city, where junction. was effected
with his goods and chattelS.

and there is movement by other
Americans TO make cotton field out
I of the rich lands bordering the Atrato
river in South America.
In many localities there will be ex-
periments with cotton this year, not
only because the price of cotton is
high, but also because Of the determi-
nation of European governments not
to be at the mercy of spectators in
American cotton, if they can help it.
1t is certain that the acreage that will
be planted in this country this season
will be unusually large. This is indi-
Gated by the purchases of fertilizers
and mules.
If a very large crop should be raised
wouldn't the price drop so low that
there would be little profit in the crop
for the farmers? over production is
as disastrous to them as under pro-
duction is to the spinners.

COMPLAINTS OF MERCHANTS

The complaints which a committee
from the Retail Merchants Association
made to the City Council Wednesday
night will be given immediate atten-
ton by the Mayor. One is that in GER
tain sections of the city there are
storekeepers who keep their places
of business open on Sundays, and an
other is that some pawnbrokers buy
and sell goods just as the retail mer-
chants do, and that too, without taxi
ing out a retail merchants license.
There is an ordinance against keep
ing stores open on Sundays and one
prohibiting pawnbrokers from doing a
regular retail business without the
payment of retailers license. The
Retail Merchants Association wants
them both enforced.
There ought not to be any difficulty
in the way of enforcing them. When
stores are kept open on Sundays the
fact must be apparent to the police,
and, as far as the pawnshops are con-
cerned, it is an easy matter to deter
mine whether their stocks in trade
consist of articles left in pawn or are
goods obtained by purchase in the reg
ular markets.
All that it Is necessary to do is to
give the police instructions, and the
Mayor has promised to give them. If
the grounds of the complaints are not
then removed it will be a question be-
tween the Mayor and the police.
The retail merchants are entitled to
the protection which they ask, not
only because the ordinance gives it to
them, but also because they are heav-
lily taxed, and cannot be expected to
compete with those who keep their
places of business open on Sundays
or who carry on business without pay
ing the required license. .'.
The assurance which the committee
received from the Mayor justifes the
Retail Merchants Association in ex-
making the foregoing complaints again
There is another matter to which
the Retail Merchants Association is
giving its attention, and that is the
usury alleged to be charged in some
of the pawn and loan shops. The as
ISOLATION claims that money is being
absorbed in this way that should go
into the legitimate trade Of the city.
1t is probable that this matter viii
be looked into with the view OF. taxi
ing proper steps to correct the evil.
The whole community is interested
in these matters which the association
is agitating for the reason that if the
retail merchants are not protected in
every way in which they are entitled to
protection they cannot do business at
a legitimate profit on their goods. The
result will be that the people of the
city generally will have to pay higher
prices for what they purchase and the
city will get a reputation for high
prices. t-

There seems to be practically no
limit to the size of railway locomo-
tives. Year after year they grow
larger and more powerful. The Santa
Fe is having built ten monsters, each
having the capacity of about two loco
motives of the standard types now in
common use. Each of the new engines
will weigh, with tender, $50, 900 pounds.
These very heavy engines are render
ed necessary, not because those now in
use lack the horsepower to pull heavy
loads. but because their driving wheels
cannot get the necessary hold on the
rails to enable them to exert their
full power. Only about a quarter of
an inch, possibly less, of the surface
of the driving wheel of a locomotive
comes into contact with the rail. A
four-wheeler, therefore. must do all of
it pulling on a surface of one inch or
less, and a six-wheeler on a surface of
an inch and a half. If the contact
surface between wheels and rails
could be doubled, the capacity of the
locomotive would be vastly increased.
Many mechanical geniuses have at
tempted to solve the problem of giving
the locomotive a better "foot-hold,
but none has succeeded.
