historic Cripple Creek in the early '90s
were a picturesque band of men and
were potent factors in the development
of what is now the largest mining
camp in the world. These people have
provided the characters for Mr.. Reds

mand In the financial world of Paris.
After he has made his millions he mar
ries a daughter of the old nobility, who,
however, does not love him. she is al
lured by a worthless prohigate, Jerome
LIE Govain, who takes her to a dis
reputable supper party in q notorious
resort, from which, however, revolving
in disgust, she escapes unscathed by
tragic consequences. Brachard discov-
ers her intended infidelity and resolves
to be tremendously revenged, LIE Go
vain has invested all his money in the
stock of a copper company in which
Brachard holds the controlling interest.
The magnate undertakes to beat down
the price of the stock with the view of
running his rival; but in order to effect
this purpose he is obliged to sacrifice
his own entire fortune. In the big
scene of the play Brachard holds lie
Govain a prisoner in the Hotel Ritz
throughout the panic on the bourse UNI
til the newsboys in the street cry out
the financial humiliation of them both.
BY this impressive deed the magnate
wins the admiration and at last the love
of his disdainful wife.
The play opens with a crude, redun-
dant, tedious exposition, which is eff
fected, without action. by the means of
conversation only. Every detail of the
later and more important scenes is ex-
pounded in advance. not once but many
times, so that when at last the scenes
themselves are reached the audience
has grown already weary of them. The
main events are discounted by undue
anticipation. The action does not hurry
onward and climb upward, as did the
action of 1.-THE Thief" There is never
moment of surprise, and the piece
fails at all points to suggest the inn
mince of the unexpected. 1t presents no
real characters. excepting possibly the
hero, and not even an array Of effective
acting parts. The dialogue is written
without brilliancy vivacity or reality.
It seems impossible to conceive that
1.-THE Thief" and samson" should be
the products of the same imagination.
I have not read the original text OF the
present play, and therefore cannot tell
whether or not 1t has been tempered
with in adaptation; but as no discredit
is assigned to an adapter on the pro-
gram of the American production, 1t
seems necessary to burden M. Bern
stein with the imperfections OF the play.

BREAKING STATES.

The defeat of Congressman
Favrot smashes the old Favrot-
Wax-Amiss slate in Baton Rouge,
where Democracy has been of
the factional kind for many
months.
The state administration back
Ing availed little if anything in
the campaign to renominate Con-
gresham FavrOt.
1t is said that Governor San
ders realized before going to
French Lick Springs that Mr..
Favrot was doomed to defeat.
Now it is tipped that the de-
feated congressman will be taken
care of by Governor Sanders
and given a good political ap
pointment, possibly sidetrackine
some other favorite lieutenant.
The administration forces can
not forget the services rendered
by the Favrot people in the Sixth
District daring the gubernatori
al struggle last winter. N. .

face of the rebuke that the SiXtl

THE PEOPLE RULE.

The above headed an editorial
in last issue, on the COMPRESSION
al situation in this district. We
referred to the fact that the peo-
pie had expressed their prefer
ence at the polls, regardless OF
the position taken by office-hold-
ers and high public officials for
the other man. Hence we con-
cluded that the people rule, that
they were coming into their own
again.
We confess now to some trepl'
dation and doubt on Tuesday
when learning of the large sum
of money alleged to be at the
command of the opposition, we
feared that weaklings would be
found who would not be true tc
Wickliffe.
The result does not justify this
fear, and we make our mos
humble apologies to the people
for doubling them, even in oul
secret thoughts, for a moment
They have, individually and col
lectively, splendidly vindicate(
themselves as being a majorit.

4 GENEROUS OPPONENT.
concern.

1t is usually wise after an
election to let "bygones be by
cones" to let time and silence
close the breach made by fac
tional strife, but in the campaign
now so satisfactorily closing, we
cannot fOrbear calling attention
to one point that makes this cam
paign exceptional. Despite the
fact that Judge FavrOt's record
was extremely vulnerable, Mr..
Wicklife neither by word nor
line attacked it at these points,
and none of his supporters, out
of Difference to his wishes, did
so.
In return for this courtesy,
this unparalleled magnanimity,
we find that on the eve of the first
primary a gross SANDER was pub
lished about Mr.. Wicklitfe, which
Mr.. Favrot never disclaimed or
censured so far as we know, and
if correctly reported by the Iber-
vile Sentinel, he himself made a
similar remark in his speech at
Plaquemine emitting the Sian
derous clause.
Again, before this primary, a
circular in French and English
was issued saying that Wicklitfe
had claimed to be the only Ameri
can in the race and that FavrOt
and Lefebvre were "Cajans.
The falsity of this was appar
cnt, as it was known that Mr.
Wickliffe and his father before
him, owed much to the CreOles O.
Louisiana, and the former indeed
has French blood in his veins a.
a maternal ancestor came from
France. The effect of these cam
paign lies was to rebound on tn
senders. The vote of St. Tam
many was reversed in this pr
mary. The Lefebvre vote wen
almost entirely to Wickliffe.
Moreover it shows him to be
| most generous opponent, and Oh
who has come through a heate
campaign without reproach.

THE AMENDMENTS.

A month remains to the voter
in which he may read and pom
der over the proposed amend
ments to the state constitution,
and decide whether he can give
them his support. Of'but few of
them he can be at all doubtful.
The amendments that permit
of the issuance of bonds for pup
lie improvements in New Orleans
and Shreveport he may safely
approve as the residents of these
cities are entirely favorable, and
they best know what they need.
Of increased financial aid for
needy Confederate veterans,
there can be no question raised.
This is a sacred duty, not to be
left to the care of self-seeking
politicians, who promised freely
but who have already forgotten
their pledges.
AS for the proposed raise in
the salary of the State Superin.
tendent of Public Education,
while in favor of giving an ade,
quate salary in order to secure
men of ability for this position,
in the present state of affairs, we
think that the salary should not
be raised. A deficit in the States
finances is probable, a raise OF
taxation is likely, and in fear Of
the agricultural outlook caused
by the raids of the boil weevil
not to mention the raids upon the
state treasury, when during the
past session of the Legislature
numberless sinecures were Gre
ated, no further outlay should be
authorized by the voters.

VALE. ST. HELENA ECHO.

n
The week following the first
primary, the St. Helena Echo, IN
a vain effort to create sympathy
for Favrot made a personal at
tack on the woman editor OF this
paper, to which we did not reply,
out of Difference to Mr.. Wick
life's plan Of campaign. There
is nothing to prevent our dong
so now as it can do no injury to
either of the political principals
in the affair.
The Echo (which to be correct
" named should be the State
House Echo, not the st. Helena
Echo, as see the returns Of the
late primaries) attributes the be-
ginning of the secret matters
used against Judge Favrot to
some open and violent attacks
made upon Judge Favrot more
than year ago by The True
Democrat God save the mark
published at St. Francisville, but
which were passed unnoticed at
the time because they eminated
[sicl from the pen of a woman,
which made them the more re-
markable as the charges made
by her was the part Judge Fav-
vot took in protecting defence
