A IIEMISrilEHE OF HEPITHLTCS.
Last night a mass meeting in Chicago
voiced the Ecntlment ot that city in favor
of Cuban Independence, and through a
erics of resolutions a demand was made
for Ihe recognition ot the Cubans as bellig
erents. This first public expression of
sympathy for the struggling patriot Is sure
to find a willing reeiwnsc In the heart of
every American, and the precedent set by
Chicago will be followed beforeman months
by many cities and towns throughout the
country.
Free America is the pride of all citizens.
The patriotism of our forefathers who
gallantly won our independence from a
foreign power haslmprcssed itself so vividly
In the affairs ot this nation that all its
people, foreign born or native, arc natural
sympathizers with countries that seek a
similar form ot government.
On tills side of the ocean there can be
no iiermanent resting place cither for a
lionarchyorforadependencyupiinaforreign
government. The desire for freedom seems
to be inherited with the boundless wealth
ot the Western Hemisphere, and those who
are permitted to enjoy Its beneficence feel
it necessary to do so with free bands and
unrestricted opportunities.
The Influence ot the United State-Sthas
caused one by one of the other countries in
this half ot the world to th rowotf monarchical
allegiance. They have seen a great people
prosper in their Independence and grow
powerful and rich In the liberty we enjoy.
With but the circle exception ot Canada
no foreign flag floats on freedom's hemi
sphere except the one Cuba is now trying
to drive out of her territory. Putting aside
Cuba's claim on this country for support
tills argument aloae should enlist our sym
pathy. With Cuba free but one government
remains that Is not entirely independent,
and the connection of Canada with England
is more a matter of form than of reality.
The American who refuses his support to
Cuba bus forgotten the history of his own
country. He should once again read of
our rev olutionary fathers, of their hardships
d bravery to make this country free, and
in dolug eo be will also be rehearsing the
struggle and trials of the Cuban patriots,
for their cause i3 identical with that ot the
heroes of the American revolution.
A itCTUltNTO HAHHAIUSM.
Tho District grand Jury, Just discharged,
closed its labors by placingon record one of
the most extraordinary recommendations
known to the annals of District affairs.
That body of mental lights presented a
petition to Judge Itradley asking that the
whipping post be established for the punish
ment of minor offenses. The Jury claimed
that its use would lessen the expenditures
of the criminal courts and decrease crime
In the District, but it failed to state
that this method of punishment has been
nbolKhcd in most of our penitentiaries be
cause of Its brutality, and that Its establish
ment at the seat of government of the most
enlightened nation on the face of the globe
"would be a disgrace from which we could
hardly recover. Think of it, a whipping
post and the cat-o'-nine tailsat the National
Capital of a people that boast of being
progressive.
It mast be expected that crime will bo
prevalent as long as the authorities permit
"tho central part of ourdty to be used as a
breeding place for -vice. The cpen and
unrestricted traffic of nearly one hundred
immoralscpulchres to which isnddcdthesnle
of liquor without license at all times of day
and night, not excepting Sundays, must
necessarily prove a source ot constantly
Increasing evU. These places are resorts
for thieves, thugs nnd criminals or all kinds,
and aside from their effects as the promoters
of vice tbeir existence exerts an Injurious
influence on every person Inclined toward
the abolishing ot this hive of sin their
action would have been In keeping with
Uie spirit ot the times, bat as It Is they
have placed themselves on record na
favoring tlio resuscitation of a relic ot
barbarism which civilized communities
have long since condemned.
Next to the shame blot ot the District
tbe whipping post. If established, would be
pointed out by toreign visitors ns an Il
lustration ot the moral development of this
great country. They might even be
Justified in looking Tor a ducking stool,
the nail pinchers, the raclcand other means
nf punishing crime with which our crucl
ltearted ancestors amused themselves, and
vhich can now only be found In miwunis.
They are companions ot the whipping prst,
audit that kind orpuntshment Is bout rated
for diminishing crime why not adopt the
entire scries of Instruments for phjsical
torture? There is but one way to decrease
crime and that is by moral developmental
the removal ot Its sources. Abolish the
Division, enforce the law, both In Alex
andria county and In the District, and lis
chief breeding places in this locality will
have Men removed. Time and sood in
fluences will then effectually illminisb
crime.
A STUDV FOlt FIXANCIEHS.
The report of Director of Mint Preston
on the production and consumption or pre
cious metals should prove Interesting to
ndvicalcs or gold and silver coinage. The
production of gold for 1894 for the United
States was $39,500,000. For the world
It was $179,905,000. The coinage of
gold throughout the world exceeded Its
productlon'by $10,000,000, and there was
about- $50,000,000 of gold used In In
dustrial work. The production or silver In
the United States In coinage value was
$04,000,000, the commercial value of
which, per ounce, was only $31,422,000,
and which also shows a decrease of 10,
500.000 ounces from tbe amount produced
In 1893. About $33,000,000 worth of
silver was used for Industrial purposes.
Tbe United States lost through gold ex
ports 5SG,730,3CG In coin and $10,693,417
In bullion; making the total loss, or rather
contraction. In our money in circulation
$103,428,783 Tor 1891.
Tbe total stock of gold coin In the
United States at tbe beginning of 1894
was $003,013,158, and bad it not been
ror our silver and silver certificates such
an enormous contraction of our money
-ou!d have brought about disastrous re
sults. Inasmuch as nearly a fifth ot our
gold was sent abroad. It Is evident that
the production of gold does not supply
the demand, but a3 long as It Is the world's
money what shall be done to remedy the
trouble?
If the Government Printing Office Is
in as dangerous a condition as Lieut,
fccwcll reports, he Is unfit to be in charge
of the important work of constructing tbe
lew building. Instead of pushing the work
along by cmplujlng a larger rorceof men
and working them In two gangs, and in
tills way relieving the great risk to the
large number of printing oHice cmpltijes,
be suddenly discovered the hazardous con
Oitionof the old building In time to save
Contractor McVaugh from punishment for
violating the elgbt-hour law. Such of
ficials are either asinine or deceitful. It
is hard to say which.
Sprinter Uradley.of tbe English athletes,
complains In a letter to London of'insects,
ants, crickets, rerrets, skunks and poisonous
snakes," which trouble tbeir quarters, and
be also says "one has to look out where he
puts bis feet." There was no mistake about
the place American sprinters put their
feet when Bradley was so badly left at
the International contest on Manhattan
Field.
Twlxt temperance and-electric roads, the
demand for corn is going to the dogs. It
is said that electric roads have displaced
275,000 borses, which would have con
sumed 45,000,000 bushels or corn a jear,
and the tremendous inroads the temper
ance cause has made on whisky drinkers
has probably lessened the consumption of
corn to a great extent. The only remedy
for this bad state of affairs is to put the
public on a corn diet.
It Is reported that Government revenues
will exceed expenditures this month by
more than $2,000,000. It is a pretty
long deficit that has no turning.
Lord Dunraven Is evidently the kind of
a yachtsman that believes in "a wet sheet
and a flowing sea," with somebody else to
sail it.
The long and short of It nowadays Is a
tall woman in bloomers.
Had the New Jersey man who went into
a trance while reading a local paper lived
in Philadelphia his going to sleep would
pot have been considered an extraordinary
occurrence.
It does not necessarily follow that break
ing up the sugar trust will result In a
supply of crushed sugar.
It must crane pretty near giving Spain
chills to pay $50,000 a month for quinine
for her army In Cuba.
When a public man begins to show new
wrinkles In politics you can put ilm down
as an old politician.
That retroactive harlequin-striped joke
of the grand jury about tbe whipping post
is likely to make them famous as ,;rHnue
amateur simpletons.
It is claimed because Esquimaux women
wear bloomers they ought not o l ob
jectionable In this country. We'll, our
women don't have to roll snowballs.
It is hardly nccetsary to state that If
Tammany Is in the benchs or a receiver, as
Dr. Parkhurst claims, he will be given op
portunity to buy in any or its effects.
.
Since ex-Gov Russell is so prompt in
denying the report that he is not a Presi
dential candidate It rn,ght be well for him
to attach a parachute to his boom and be
ready for an emergency.
Cu-.lilns'WiiHOnce'EdltorofTlioTimcs.
From the Newtpaper Maker.
Marshall Cusblng, of the Washington
Capital, seeks to be very caustic at tho
expense of Editor Conn, who has made the
Washington Times thereaway a light In
the laud. Strikes this way that Mr.
Cushlug is unfair. Mr. Conn is a kclf
niade man, whoe honor cannot be ques
tlned. He began life as a Journeyman
Jeweler; invented an improvement in cor
nets that made him a inillicunire; was
chosen for Cougress;refused a renuml nation;
bought the moribund Tfcncs' and turned it
Into a phenomenal success. Mr. Conn
has done all these things before he has
reached lii prime, and every newrpaper
maker In the laud ought to rise up and
do blm honor.

yesterday with great eclat. The street

hrongsof people, and an excellent orchestra
stationed within under a bower of palms
and ferns drew the people in by legions.
there they listened to a pleasing musical
programme, creditably rendered, and moved
among the potted plants. Handsome souve

"All tilings come to bim who waits."
Manager John W. Albaugh said U1I3 out
of the fullness of his heart as he stepped upon
the stage of the Lafayette Square Opera
House last night and presented to the people
of Washingtou tbe magnificent play house
over whose destinies he is to preside.
It was a memorable scene, there la the
glitter at incandescent lights, tbe soft glow
of green and gold and white, with a vast
audience, still as death, listening to the
broken Volco ot the -etcran manager. The
stage which bad a minute before been filled
with a crush of gorgeous color held only
that ope figure, la its severe black suit, and
in placer of tbe crash of harmony were his
heeitnting tones, thanking Ids Irlends for
what they hav edone for hiiu andhoping that
he would deserve even more.
FILLED TO THE CEILING.
Thus was the playhouse dedicated. From
orchestra to the gallery, perched high
under the vaulting roof, through balcony
and large circle, was packed an audience
drawn together ror an event which rails
butseuioin but once In generations.
The spirit or Hie nour was all-pervading,
and nn entertainment far iufe-rior to that
which was accorded the honor or nrst
treaumg tbe boanls ot tbe bright stage
wuuld nave beeu given a warm reception.
Miss Lillian Russell's Uie has been roll
or ucce-s--. but there are lew she will
look back upop with pleasanter emotions
than this. She knew It was not alone her
own 'attractions which called together
this vast audience, and like a true artist
she determined, as did every one in the
company, to deserve at least a portion of
the credit, and make theaudlence reel when
the curtain had gone down that it hail seen
something more than the Ilrsi sight of a
splendid building. This she did.
Miss Russell has had prettier operas
th.iu "Tzigaue." lu fnct, Mr. De Koven
has penned sweeter scores than this Rus
sian conglomeration, but It it in a measure
tuneful, pleasing wnlle It laits, aim gor
geouslv costumed. lit this last par
ticular 'Messrs. Abi ey. -n land Oran
have maintained their 1 . iju.
TZIGANE IS REiil-w-cEN'T.
"Tzigano" hints here and there of lines
you havclieardbeforc. There arc snatches
of melody that seem ramlhar. but through
It all run-the wierd. strange strain, which
Is distinctively Russlau, and gives It its
originality.
Some of tbe concerted numbers are
splendid, particularly two, which carry
tne refralu of the Russian national anthem
and were smcuuidly rendered by the
strong chorus.
Miss Eusscll's Vera Is like Miss Rus
sell's everything else. It is distinctively
mt.t TM.-utmrtv nerseif. hiiiierblv drc-ssea.
thoroughly t.eif-iosscssed. and fase'iuatlng,
it is possessed of all those attributes wblc-n
have brousht her to the front rank in light
opera. Her voire ts as of old. bbe prob
ably does not take the liberties with It
she once did. but the opera colls for
little which would require uu effort.
"The Jewel" is a sweet little song In the
second net. the refrain ot which is "Love
will come and love will go." It Is very
DeKovenesque and touch edwith the ballad
like airs of "Kobln Hood." This, with a
duet Ix-tween Vera ai.d Casamlr, which
was well sung by Mr. Edwin Hotr. are the
best songs in Tiganc"
Few of the other characters call for
much. Miss Flora Finlayson costumed and
sang Maryska very pleasingly, and in her
one solo ree-eived an encore.
Miss Mane Celeste's Niuctta was cute
and e lever.
PLENTY OF COMEDY.
Comedy men were present three deep.
That extremely narrow gentleman, Mr.
Joseph Herbert, has one ot his original
creations, and Mr. Fred Salomon was as
clever a Charles Wayne in their rcspc-ctlve
parts ot Gen. Buguslaw and Varslll.
A s f or the chorus It was all that could be
desired. Carerul training was evidenced
In the smoothness ami precision or the
songs, marches and dances.
Tne audience was in a mood to be liberal
and the applause wan rrcqucnt and sincere.
True,(rorthe -greater portion of the first
act there was a lack or responsiveness, bnt
wtiCnlMIss Russell-finally secured the op
portunity,' tills condition melted, aud a
thorough sympathy was established.
When the curtain rell ou the second act
tbe ciurmingactTess was compelled to show
her thanks and riually responded In a neat
little speech of thanks.
Then the audience demanded Mr. A Ibangh,
and he told them of his life's ambition to
owna theater In Washlgton.nnelbUcniotlon
., c,w.ln. that ambition fulfilled.
Warm applause gave blm a promise Uat
support would be ills and he bowed him
self off the stage
For a medley of all that is comprised In
the modern spectacular light opera and
theatrical conuxisitions, probably nothing
has recently been presented which has bit
the popular taste more nearly than "Little
Christopher," given ror the first time In
Washington at tlie National lost evening.
The Iiouce was crowded from front-orchestra
ffinirs to Lack teats of the upper
"allery and the veciferous applause from
every localitv proved that the Washington
audience was In lull sympathy with the
Immense throngs which have attested the
popularity or the burlesque elsewhere.
CcIIler, as O'HooIIgan, private detec
tive to Mrs. Black, was siilc splitting In
his various cljtracters, quaint and success
ful disguises, ard pretty play of wit. Miss
Fannie Johnston was charming in her songs
and by-plov or Little Christopher. In tbe
way of graceful and fantastic dancing lu a
rc-at array of brilliai'tcosumic. Miss Mabel
Clarke showed herseir to be a -very success
ful rival of Ibcee famous dancers whose
foreign names have been a laige part of
tbeir stock-in-trade. "
The songs of Miss Louise Allen, Miss

An Open Confession
Is Good for the Soul!
We arc going to prove a feiv things liere
this morning right in front of the crowd;
you know just as well as we do that
there isn't a Clothing House in the city of
Washington that has ever been known to
cut prices in the BEGINNING of a new
season whether it be summer or winter;
these are the times when prices are held
right up to the highest notch. After the
season advances a little somebody jumps
in with a "discount sale" and from that
minute the clothing trade is in a state of
panic Dealers get red in the face trying
to demonstrate how much lower prices are
during these reduction sales than they
were at the beginning of the season. We're
going to be honest and admit that we have
had these reduction sales and they were
GENUINE, too but from tick of the
watch our store will have just ONE price
in the beginning in the middle and at
the end of ALL SEASONS. Our new fall
stock is here it's better and bigger than
any we have ever had before and it is too
good to be TRIFLED with. When we tell
you that a suit or overcoat is worth $10
(and we've got stacks of them at this price)
you can bet your last dollar that it is
as good as ten dollars will buy ANY
WHERE. We have established a manu
factory at 185 Market street, Newark, N. J.
every garment is union-made when it's
finished it comes straight to US we pay
tribute to no jobber no middleman. We
might write a page andTail to give a bet
ter reason why our prices are LOWEST.
You may as 'well get a warmer suit now
as to WAIT. Your money back on de
mand. All garments kept in repair one
year free of cost.

Immensely well concelve-d and executed.
Living pictures or the Hey of Earatana s
art gallery, reproducing among other
works of art tbe "Angelas" and La
Source," were very finely presented.
Altogether this combination or bur
lesque and spectacle is one or the best
productions ot Its kind teen in Washington
In many seasons, and fully Justifies the
compliment and patrunage Jt bas received
during fin long1 run in New lort.
Mark"Twain's 'Tudd'nhead Wilson." as
dramatized and presented by Mr. Frank
Mayo lu the title role, was put on last nlgnt
for tlie fir., time lu Washington and to a
good house.
There was but one verdict among tlie
the audience and it was that Mr. Mayo has
succeeded In Bhowing what a renurkable
character actor he Is, and also that he has
shown a playwright's cunning In a clcarand
charming way.
Materials that did not strike most readers
in Mark Twain's story as being at all
dramatic, he has taken and deltly woven
Into a play that is at once novel. Intensely
interesting aud very real In its scenes and
characters.
The changes that Mr. Mayo has made In
the story In its dramatization are Ingenious
and natural. MarkTwain'cqualntoayrags
have most or tbcui breu Incorporated and the
Interchanged babies and the man who took
prints ot people's thumbs upon bits or glass
are still, ot course, the pivots upon winch
thestory turns. Tbcauaiencellstencdwnh
biited breath until his little bits ot glass anil
their queer records bad cleared two Innocent
men and brought the story to a conclusion by
placbig the guilt where it belonged.
Throughout the play there was a iicculiar
rinoothneis aud sunuy shrewdness in Mr.
Alayo's acting that must stam p bis -Pudd'11-
ueaa as a cnaracier siuuy w oiuij w .
with his "Davy Crockett."
All or the rucy humor of character, as
created by Mark Twain was brought out,
although Mr. Mayo never permitted the
dignity and eeriousness ot the character to
be lost sight of. It was a delightfully
tymiulhtuo part and Mr. Mayo pujea it
Theother characters In his play are all of
them In fine hands. Ills cunipaiiy Includes
Misses Frances Graiiaiue. Eleanor Moretu,
Lucille La Verne. EUeua Mans. Arnold Daly,
Frank B. Aiken. Frank Campeau, Emuiett

There was a very lirgc audience present
at the Bijou Theater last night to witness
the first performance In this city of the
latest meiooraniaue " ."
night Special." Tbe scenery was elaborata
and strikingly real, especially that of the
Uulou station at Baltimore, with its trains
rushing across the stage and attendant
bustle an exact reproduction ot a busy
place.
The play was handsomely staged and
wellhaiidied by astroug company, andeach,
plaver seemed wen suited to the part
assigned. It Is a play that appeals to
the audience, and that ot last night was
quick to demonstrate Its approval of tho
good work of the Urro and heroine, and as
prompt to hiss the villain, and lu dolug
tne latter it jiald Harry Healy. who acted
tho part ot Clare, quite a compliment.
Conrad Cantzen and jack blac-kuiore and
Miss Lillian LoDgmore, the hero ami
heroine, respectively, acted their difficult
roles In excellent uianuer, and MIssFlorence
French as Tabbs. the Newsglrl. was very
natural In her make-up and performed
a difficult part In easy manner. Thomas.
De 1'ew ns "one ot the fhiest" carried the
comedy part to the pleasure and satisfac
tion ot the house. Henry Truglser as Je-m
Ilagglu. the aitessory to the villain's deed,
and who artcrward turns State's evidence,
was prominent in a heavy role.
It Is safe to say thet the BIJou will con
tinue to enjoy its present success.
"The Midnight Speeiai" will remain
all the week. Matinees Tuesday. Thursday,
and Saturday.
The new comedy-drama entitled "The
White Kat." was presentcel last evening at
the Academy of Music. Throughout the
play the dramstic work of Mr. Astor
Lemon was especially good and won tbe
praise of a large audience.
Mr. John C. Leech, who takes the char
acter of a Danish sador and a Chinese
laundryman, is fair in his dramatic work.
In the second act Mr. Thomas Evans
amuses the audience with very difficult
fancy dancing, nnd Miss Nelly Seymour
1 aini n. n.irodv on the "Sidewalks of New
I Vorfc" aud makes a hit with the patrons
J of the gallery. Her make-up as the typical
Bowery gin is goou-
The third act presents a scene in a
Chinese laundry an opium Joint. The first
nirt i fntn im bv Mr. Fred Russell, who
u,.-r,rn-.a in n mnnrplmis mnnncr unon the
cornet, and by Mr. Tony l'earl, who gives
an exhibition or harp playing.
In lact. these two gentlemen occupy a
goodly part of the act In Introducing
musical specialties, which were biglily
approved. Miss Mamie Falmer takes tbe
character or a true sweetheart, who Is
ralthful to the bitter end- Scene 3 ot act3
Is a most realistic representation or a
Chinese dive. The scene U full of stir
ring and tbrultag situations. -
MaJ. Doyle makes a hit In the fourth
0rrQVS
act. He is tbe smallest man on the stage,
and it is probably due to this fact that be
makes his hit, lor his singing is flat.
A full house welcomed the Russell Broth
ers at tbe Lyceum last night. The show is
what Its management claim for it a very
clever vaudeville entertainment.
The curtain went up on the Morcllos. a
skete-h team, -which Introduced several
novelties and reproduced some turns which
were not. Blockson and Burns. In "Funna
budlsm." evoked laughter by their eccen
tricities, aLd Johnnie Carroll sang some
of his compositions, among them "Say,
Sadie Ryan."
Falke and Semon did their comedy music
act. familiar here. John and James Russell
did "The Irish Servant Girls." and ine-i-dentally
Imitated the mad Fcene from
"Ankle 47," as played by Clara Morns.
"Orovcr nrOray oables."an ortgtnaliTea

The Interview with Hon. John C. New,
publiihed on Saturday, puriwrtlng to present
the viewa ot ex-President Harnson on the
question of a renomination nnd onthemerita

ot Indiana, who was prominently identi
fied with the management of the campaigns
of 18S8 and 1S02, an intimate personal
and political friend ot the ex-President,
said to-day:
"1 imagine CoL New has not been quoted
corrcctl. There is nothing new in the
ilatement that Gen. HarrUon Is hi no cense
a candidate for the nomination. Ab I.e Is
not a candidate, he cannot be expected to
go through the form ot withdrawing.
"No one but Mr. New, If he is correctly
quoted. Is to be held responsible for the
opinion that Gen. Harrison would not
tavor the nomination of Mr. Reed or of
Gov. MeKinley. ,
"Gen. Harrison should not be held ac
countable for the utterance of any one to
that elicit, and especially.! n view of the
well-known fact that he has never tried
to influene nominations.
"Gen. Harrison, like other men befre
the public, is to be Judged by his own con
duct or expressions, and not by the opinions
or words of his friends."
