COXJEOTVIIES. Speculation and suggestions regard ing the cabinet of General Ifnrrl onnro in order , nnd the subject will recoiv'o rnoro or less prominence in public at tention for the next four months , During the campaign the democrats cntluavored to mnkc capital against the republicans by asqrrtlng that in the event of Harrison's election Mr. Blnlno would have the first cabinet portfolio and would direct the policy nnd conduct of the administration. The probability however , la that Mr. Blaine will hold no cabinet portfolio under President Harrison , and it is doubtful If ho do fcires to. Notwithstanding the vigor ho should in the campaign , his hcaltl 's not such as would justify iiim in assuming the exacting duties of n cabinet position , and it is suggostoi that ho may replace Mr. Phelps at the Knglish court , which probably would ho imich more to his liking than any olllrial pottitlon at homo. It may bo remarked , also , that most republicans would bo quite at well satisfied that Mr. Bluino should represent the country in England as that ho should bo at the heart of the cabinet. If General Harrison follows precedent ho will olTor the portfolio of secretary of state to Senator Sherman , who was the lending candidate in the national convention , nnd un questionably the appointment would bo acceptable to the country. Mr. Sher man is generally regarded as only a financier , hut there is no reason to sup pose that ho would not make as honor able a record in diplomacy , and he would certainly bo a. safe man at the head of the state department. Without bluster , ho would maintain the rights and dignity of the country , and the government would not sull'er humilia tion from such mistakes as have made tl present administration of the stale department disagreeably memorable. There uro excellent reasons why the great we t should bo represented in the financial department of the gov ernment , which needs divorcing from the influence of Wall street , and perhaps no more capable and generally acceptable man for this position could bo suggested than Sena tor Allison. Ho stands in the estima tion of the country next to Senator Sherman in thoroughness and sound ness as a financier , and there are rea sons why ho would bo more acceptable to the west than the Ohio senator. For the other cabinet positions there are scores of available men , and the only trouble which General Harrison is likely to experience in selecting his cabinet is that of determining who , out of the great number from which he limy cheese , are likely to best satisfy the people and most ably assist in the ad ministration of the government. He can bo trusted to do this with primary reference to the welfare and honor of the country. THE SUPREME COURT. The success of the republican party in the national campaigh gives assur ance that the supreme court of the United States cannot for at least four years to como bo placed under demo cratic domination , and this is by no moans the least important of the ad vantages to bo gained from republican victory. Two of the republican justices , Miller and Bradley , have vouched an ago anil passed a term of service on the bench which entitle thorn to retire , and it is altogether probable that both of them will within the next four years avail themselves of this privilege. Another , Justice Matthews , is in precarious health and may not live through an other ad ministration. The democratic party is now represented on the supreme bench by Chief Justice Fuller and Jus tices Field and Lamar. The appoint ment of two more democrats would give that party a majority in the supreme court , and it is ontlroly probable that the re-olcction of Mr. Cleveland would have insured such a result. With the democratic party in control of the supreme court , and its representa tives on the bench of that tribunal dominated by southern views , it cannot bo doubted that important prin ciples which have been estab lished for years by the decisions of that court would ba overthrown , and that many of the results of republi can wisdom and patriotism during the past quarter of a century would ho lost. If democracy were securely intrenched in the supi-amo court it would have a power hardly less great for mischief and for reactionary purposes than if it hold possession of every other branch of the government. From the bench of that tribunal It could not only undo many tliiiiL'3 accomplished that are objoction- nblo to it , but nullify future republican legislation in conflict with its tra ditional views of the limitations of the constitution. And there cnn be no doubt that it would use this power to the farthest extent possible. It is consequently a matter of the highest importance that a republi can administration will fill whatever vacancies shall occur on the supreme bench within the next four years , and as wo have snid there will doubtless be two and very likely more. In any event there is the assurance that the judicial tribunal of last resort will not for at least another four years bo transferred to the control of the democratic party , 2nd upon this the country can bo heart ily congratulated. OMAHA'S ' VOTE AND P The chartor-inutllators who , two years ago lobbied night and davagainst the republican delegation from Douglas county , and are justly hold responsible for leaving Omaha without rogiatratlon , nro now tearing their garments over the defeat of the republican candidates to the legislature. In their fron/y they charge that thousands of votes were polled illegally by the democrats and malco believe that Omaha's vote is enormously inflated , by making compar ison botwooa the vote of 1817 on judges und that of 1SSS. In this , as in all things , our republican contemporary only succeeds in making a fool of Itself , There is no doubt that from five hun dred to ono thousand votes were polled fraudulently laat Tuesday fqr want of registration , But thora were more than that number of voters disfranchised by reason of closing at O'o'clocjr , standard tlmo , which prevented hundreds ot \Vorklngmcn from reaching UIP polling places in time. The vote last year was notoriously very light nnd known to represent loss than half of the actual voting population. Hundreds Of repub licans staid awny from the polls because they did not want to vote the yellow dog judicial ticket. This year , ns in all presidential years , there was a full vote polled , and the efforts of the combine to boat Loose drew out more than the average of the employ 03 of jobbers and railroads. Omaha has heretofore shown a marked disparity between her known population and her vote. This time , the vote , at the ratio of si.x porsoin to each vote cast , bears out her claim to a population of ovcrono hundred thousand. Comparing her vote with that oj other cities , the proportion of voles to the population is not in the least cxagcr- alod. The basis of eight persons to uui'h voter is ridiculously inllutcd , nnd while It may serve the purpose to indi cate enormous election frauds it will not stand the test of statislical comparison with other American cities. The true ratio is flvo to six Inhabitants to the vo ter and no more. Tin : jute mills all through the coun try scorn to bo in tibrul way. It was a clear case of killing the goine that laid the golden egg. They biipplicd all the cotton bagging used by the southern planters , but not&utisliod with this , they organized a trust in order to enhance their own profits. Their success was merely temporary. They put the price of cotton bagging so high that the southern planters were compelled to seek for a substitute , and found one. The result has boon that the jute man ufacturer : * have lost their market , and the prospects are that they never will recover their former ground. The Ion- son of the jute bugging trust will not bo lost on the monopolies in other commo dities. They see how easy it is for them to overreach the mark and tum ble in the grave dug for the people. The failure of the jute ring has done more to check the growth of monopolies than all the laws enacted against com bines and trusts. THE amateur journalist who intro duced the novelty of adouble-barrelled , independent organ , and two weeks before fore election espoused iho cause of Cleveland , has made the discovery that Douglas county wont democratic be cause a very considerable portion of the republican party repudiatedjtarrison on account of the high tariff plank. This is in keeping with the shallow under standing which our remarkable contem porary has exhibited all along in deal ing with political questions and candi dates. It is on on a par with his sup port of McShane , Morton nnd Submis sion. Had he taken the trouble to look below the surface ho would have found that the democratic majority in this county is due to the submission plank injected into the republican plat form against the remonstrance of the delegation from Douglas county , which predicted just what has happened. ST. LOUIS has the honor of raising the first monument to the memory of Gen eral Grant , und local politicians of that city boo at Joast one ollect of it already in the throe repuolicau congressmen clotted there on Tuesday. The demo crats wore , disgusted at the bourbon de mocracy that had secured control , and had rung in prohibition for the purpose of conciliating the republicans. As these are for the most part Germans the plan did not work for a cent , and the result is that the very home of the democracy has suddenly gone republican thus for feiting for the next twenty years all claim to bo chosen for democratic con ventions. WHIM ; the prospects for statehood of the northwestern territories nro very bright , it must bo confessed that Utah will still remain in the background. The only possible solution of the Mor mon , problem is a heavy gentile immi gration , which is not likely to happen , so long as there arc good openings olso- whore. This is to be lamented because Utah is probably ono of the most agree able and healthy climates in the world , and possesses a most fertile soil besides great mineral wealth. It is n place for happy homes , not for great fortunes , as these discover who venture to settle there. TIIK treasury surplus on October ! ! 0 amounted to seventy-four millions. During the month it had been reduced by bond puroluiscs about twenty mil lions. But now that n change of ad ministration is assured , it Is a quostfon whether Secretary Fatrchild will fool justified iu continuing hiu policy' . The question of reducing the governmont'H income comes before congress in Do- coml > r , and Secretary F.airchild will very likely bo guided by its' delibera tions in his future dealings with the surplus.

Mr. Cleveland appreciates the compliment and will take up his abode among las follow townsmen after March 4. OTHER LAXDS THAN OUHS. The Uritlsli government ia India Uas Just lubllshcj thoyearly report of the rail ways for .SS7. These roads are of somewhat peculiar standing. Ono or two were commenced prior to the Sepoy mutiny of 1857 , but the major number were built after its suppression , . .nd after tliuir necessity as a military measure mil been demonstrated. The consequence is hat they are not remunerative from the ImmcUtl standpoint , but the loss does not 'all ' upon the stockholder , but upon the In dian government. These roads are of three classes , 1st , guaranteed companies whoio dividends of 6 per cent are paid regularly o the stockholder in England , no matter vlmt Urn earnings may boi 2nd , reads built > y the province and operated by the govern- netitof the province ; 3rd , roads built by ho iiroviucu aud operated by lessees.

For it must Bo re membered thatit H not the Hrltlsh ffovoru- merit that guarantees the dividend on Indian railroad stoclt , but Uio peneral povernmcnt of India , nnd the money Is raised by Uxn- ntlon. Kngland hnt foil ml in this railroad system an admirable screw by which she tiua squeezed out of India every rupee. India is periodically ia dnbt to tinglnml anil the domonetl/ntion of silver makes thinca worse , for the debt is in rupees , und has to bo trans lated Into pounds sterling' , and the effort of the process is to make Itone-thlnl larjror. IndU is fast drifting into tlio condition of Ireland , In I'onspijuouce of the i-omploto iliMiniige of her tfoUl and silver by Kngland , nnd the advent of the Knsslans is praved for In every baiMr from Conean to the Uocean , and from Cashmuro to Point do Unite. * It Is a safe assertion that less Is known of the Interior of Hrn/il than of any other country of this continent , and Hie province of Matlo OrosEo i.s almost a terra incognita even to the lii'iullirvus themselves. It is doubtful if tins plateau would ho visited nb all were it not for the diamonds found there. At present the other sources of this precious stone in Hr.uil are becoming yearly less nnd less fertile , und ntamantiuo in Matte Orosso is the only roRioti that can ittill bo counted on. That ( jre.it stone called the btur of the South , weighing cut I'-it c.trats , cntno from this locality. North of the mountains which ilivide the province into two regions Is a land occupied entirely by Indian tribes known us Xingce , who nro rattier behind hand , and in fact offer u marked argument agninst the theories of various eth nologists as to the successive waves of progress of humanity , These abori ginals arc still in the earliest or julcolithio stage. , having no metal implements and do ing all their cutting with stone knives and axes. They have no domestic animals , not even a dog. They live to a great extent ot llsh , and are unacquainted with the banana the sugar e.ine , or any of the tropical pro ducts most widely dispersed. They have no myths , nor any comprehensible view of na ture and of God. They cultivate maize , cot ton and tobacco , and they make sun dried pottery. If their existence was not known to bo of to-day , it might bo attributed to th pulutltto peoples of Central Europe in anted luvlau times. Such Is the account Dr. Voi Steiiien gave of them in his recent leetnre n Hio Jdnerio , nnd he asks the question ver.v pertinently if these Indians present a typo o arrested development , or of degrartatlor from civilization. Their agrieultural condi tlon agrees with both views. The Niairnguiin canal expedition ia open iiifjup to public knowledge some of the oldes Spanish cities in America , which have bee ruined by cataclysms or put aside by the im perious demands of commerce. Sueh a city is Cartage on the great central plateau o Costu Hie * , which used , to bo the capital of f great province in the Old Spanish day.s , anil owes its dceadeneu not only to the faet thai the coffee business had concentrated in Sar Jose , the modern capital , and Punta Arenr on the Pacific side , but to repeated destruc tions by earthquakes and eruptions. Naples has its Vesuvius , Palermo its Etna , and Cartage is udriodlcally devoured by ft inon ster named Irazu. This Is an old irtayu word and has been translated us Four Months , which is a very correct description of the mountain , for it has four craters. Two of these arc no longer volcanic" , but two still ure active , and puff and smoke , and occasionally drop a red hot boulder into the streets o" Cartago. Owing to the result of arbitration with regard to land on the Sarapiqul river in dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua a little life has uropt into the languid veins of Cartogo , and Itia partly waking up. It i within the boxinds of possibility that the coffee trade , or at foast.fi fair share of it , wil concentrate around Cartage , for when the canal becomes an cstablishcu fact , nothing will bo easier than to establish coffee planta tions on the eastern slopes of the pl.itcau and send the bags down the Sarapujui to the canal and thence to our Atlantic ports. So goes the whirligig of fortune. Up to-day , down to-morrow. * Australia has developed new gold fields in the southwest , which is a part of that great island comparatively unknown. Even globe trotters men who have been round the world know very little beyond the fact that the capital is called Perth , nnd that it is great country for breeding horses. The British artillery in India is horsed chiefly with animals from this region. And nov. news has arrived of excessively rich placer diggings not far from Perth. A man came in with a nugget weighing 10,1 ounces , whieli ho had found in a placer mlno nt Pinjarra , The government has established regular gold lields with warden's courts for the cheap nnd speedy settlement of disputes about claims and gold is pouring into Perth , which will probably become as famous as Sidney or Melbourne. Victoria. Meanwhile the papers of Brisbane , the capital of Queen- land , on the eastern coast of Australia , are growling because miners nro ptraying off to IJurneo and New Guinea , where there are also auriferous hopes ot a very tempting kind. Now Guinea has always been noted for the gold washing done there , from which indued it derives its name , but Borneo Is n now miners' paradise , The Dutch go eminent and the native rajahs are unanimous in inviting Immigration nnd offering mineral concessions , but there is no inducement for any save these with capital , for it is all quartz mining. The roof a ure said to bo the largest iu the world , but how rich they are has yet to bo discovered. It cannot bo doubted that wo nro on the eve of great nddi- tions to the iold supply of the world nud this ought to enhance the value of silver. But It will not , because the gold conspiracy Is too strong. . Very erroneous views , nro entertained by sensible men with regard to French cham pagne. So enormous is the consumption all over the world that not n few intelligent writers have advanced the statement that much ot the article sold must necessarily bo spurious. And since the ravages of the oiclium und phylloxera In Franco they have been conllrmcd in this view , because In spite of the falling oil in the vintage the supply of ultampngno hns increased yearly , uot dimin ished , logically th'oro would seem to bo no uscape from the conolusion that much nllogcd cluMiipugno is bogus. Hut it is not so , and thu fuel may lie stated that only genuine ilruni.uno is over sold in reputable restau rants hotels nnd Imrrootm. The mistaken reasoning arises from insufllolcnt knowledge. Champagne is an artificial wine , or as the Frcncli term ft , a fabricated wine mndi ! by mingling together the red und wliito wiuvri of Burgundy , And us no dlseaso has ever muniicsted itself in that region there In practically no limit to the manufacture. The process Is a long , expensive - pensive ono , for it is Impossible to make chumpngno in less than tlftcen months , and morothan eighteen percent of the bottloti nru broken by the carbonic acid naturally in herent in the mingled vintages. There nro some wines 'vhich uM naturally effervescent , ind thcsu have boon called natural cham- [ lapnes , but such a term is misleading , for there is much more to champagne than the inoro effervescence. No country imports : nero chompagno than America , nnd no people ple enjoy it moro than we do , and it is safe U ) < ay that it would bo Impossible to pass off jpon nn American , n Spurious bottle. The jutput of champagne according to the lUielms : lmmber of commerce was for the last year iO,31l , ! l bottlen , of which 1725rW ! ( were jxportcd mid y,070Wy ( consumed in Franco. Prince Ferdinand , of the Hohcnzollcrn 'aniily , who Is the present ruler of Bui- rarla , lias succeeded In winning the nfToctlori if his subjects to the Intense disappoint- nent of Russian Intriguers. The brav * 'rinco Henry of Battonboix In spite of his ictoi-y ever the Servians at Blivlnltza wa lot ublo to consolidate hh authority over ho Bulgarians sufficiently to alienee , the pro- voices constantly raised iu Sofia , nml the result was that ho was driven out of the country. The present ruler la n hftsr relative of : the emperor ol Germany end wll therefore bo sustained by Austria , bacaUso nothing could ba more consonant with the present policy of the Harpburg thnn the { raining of Slavonic adherents in the Halkau country. Austrin means to be the western Slavonic country , In opposition to Russia , the eastern Slavonic country , so that nil which Russia has gained Ijy the crime of murder ing Poland is the spectacle of Austria stand- ini ? in Its plnco championing the Polish ideas , sheltering the wandering Polish refugees and afToTdini , ' an outlet to Polish enthusiasm and energy. This policy moots with the heartiest encouragement from the great chancellor of Germany nnd , therefore , it can not bo douhtod that Prince Ferdinand will bo most strenuously supported by Austria , for ho is a pledge to the Hnpsburgs by the Hohcnzollerns thru Germnnj , ls ono with Aus tria in her Slavonic movements , It is a laot that all the battles of Russia with Turkey luivo resulted to Austria's advant age. Russia , instead et emerging from her Interior lands nt Conslantinoplo will be forced to occupy Asia Minor for that pur pose , and will therefore remain to all in terests nnd purposes nn Asiatic power. This may not IK ) in accordance With the ideas of the Russians , but it is In line with the best Interests of the country. Nothing could bo better for Enropo and for Russia itself than n kingdom of Rouniollu , including Constanti nople ruled by an Austrian arehduko and forming n part of the Austrian empire. With the Russians in possession of t lie whole of Asia Minor nnd Austrian influences In Constantinople there would bo a revival of commerce , nrt nnd scicneo in the Levant by which the whole world of civilisation would protlt. RUSS'H'S ' miatnku hns constantly been to ignore the dualism of the Slavonic people , and the successor Austria is because her movement wus iu nccordanco with that dualism. The Russian government Is planning great engineering enterprises in Siberia , though the locality Is not ono where an ordinary reader would expect to find a great combina tion of railroads and canal ? , such ns has been proposed. It will he done because It is n trade necessity. The commerce between China nnd Russia has hitherto been conron- trnted nt the frontier town of Klaehtn which Is built on the river Sellngen , a tributary of the great body of water known ns Lake Baikal. The hales of goods and the birch tea arc now packed on the backs of drome daries and carried from China across the dcseat of Kobi to Itiachta. In two years out of three sufficient rain falls in the desert to supply these animals with vegetation sufll- ciont for their support , but oneo in three years this la not the case , and there is n great mortality nmong them. The project of the Russians is to end this state of things , which Is becoming yearly moro and more irksome , and to tralllc with Chlnn by sen. The Chinese Junks and other vessels will carry their goods to Vladivostok , which is the capital of the Amour province , nud from this point a railroad running due north along the Onsuri river will mnko connection with the port Of Nicqlniovsk in the gulf of Saghalicn. At this tio'mt the real Siberian railroad will commence. It will run from Nicolaievsk due west to a town named Oust Stretmsk , having traversed the whole prov ince of the Amour. Prom this point It will diverge to the southwest , following the Chita river until it turns wjst again and reaches Kiachta. When this work has been accomplished the road may bo continued from Irkutsk to Torusk. but as a canal has also been projected between these points uniting the great river Yenisei and Lake Baikal , it is probable that Kiachta will bo the terminus for many years to come.

The election of Harrison ns president of the t'nited Stntea hiis destroyed the enthu- slnsm and blasteit the hojies of both demo cratic voters nnd onice-holders in this vieln- ity. The ward hcndiinnrters nro deserted nnd the lenders who were wont to patronbo them with the most pleasurable of anticipation ! ! , nowscolt more eongr-nlnl nnd losspublli'quar- tersto brood over theirjilpfent. They receive little consolation from the victors , because it was known that , in the event of democratic success , democratic enthusiasm would have exceeded all bounds. TonUht the great victory will be celebrated by the republicans In n nmnner exceeding anything that has yet been seen west of the Missouri. All the clubs which took part m the procession on lust Monday will be in line. They will be snm > lonirnted by extra clubs formed on the spur of the moment nnd supplied with now torches which liuvo been ordered by telegraph cspeclnllv for the occasion , us nlso the torches which have been lighting the democrats to defeat. Major Clnrksoii hns had sever.il men em ployed nil day buyinir up these torches , so unit thousands of republicans who so dcsiro may Iw supplied with ilhiininutinp nmterhil. llcsiiles these , there will he visiting clubs from all the neighboring cities nnd these ns nlso the local cluhs nro preparing to introduce noveltlcM which ; vill add greatly to the occasion.

The wife of the Intter , formerly Miss Minnie Saunders. left hero several days ngo to be present tit the resi dence of the president-elect when thu ex pected notieo of his election should arrive. When the latter was proclaimed , Governor Saunders sent n congratulatory telegram to Mr. Harrison , ami since that time telegrams have passed between them according ! im events of importance have transpired. The last of these arrived yester day , containing information as regards Indi ana , Democratic headquarters nre deserted. Nothing remains in the rooms comprising them except the banner which , for a month past , lias hung in the street displaying the visages of the democratic candidates.

His hair is somewhat whiter , but his looks in no way give evidence of the great campaign work which ho has done in the last six weeks. "How do you account for Cleveland's de feat ? " ho was asked. "I can account for it only on the ground that he did not get enough votes in some of the states. " He would not be betrayed into telling , as others , what about the great disaster. "Do you know how much you have whit tled down Thuyer's majority ? " "No , I do not. I haven't ' hc.ird nil the re turns. How many votes were cast in the state , do you know ! " Tiir lini : representative said that , the. re turns thus far did not give the desired infer mation. "I have figured that the total vote in the state , " suid Mr. McShane , "wus nbout 3jr > , OUO , an increase of 75,000 votes over that of ono year ngo. " "It lias been rumored , " said a bystander , "that you have been defeated by 20,000 votes. " "No wonder , " said Louis Schroedcr , in whoso onlce the conversation took place , "when the voting population has nearly doubled In aye.ir. " There was an interview at the Wabash rornerycstcrdny between two veterans of the democratic ranks. Each has u son-in- law in n federal position. Said the taller and better known of the two : "I'm sorry Cleve land is defeated , 1M like to have Con remain in his position for n couple of years longer , anyway. " Tin glad ho got licked , " snid the other , "who is not so lull , but more stolid and chunky , "because I'd like to have George get out of his ofllce. Ever alncc Cleveland npuointcd him , he's boon neglecting his reg ular business so much ! " Alderman Bcchol It suits me , exactly. It is the greatest political deal In the history of nuy political party. The causes are numer ous for the change being made. Cleveland's policy iilono on the tariff did not meet with major approval , and his success depended to u great extent on that Issue. Councilman Lowry I WHS surprised , and , In fact , am surprised yet. 1 never antici pated that such n result would follow the election. Mayor Hroatch While I felt sanguine from a republican standpoint , I did not anticipate such a sweeping victory. Cleveland's policy was more than the voters of this government conld stand. Assistant City Attorney Smith It is a glad surprise to me. I had strong hopes of n re publican victory , but this surpasses my brightest anticipation. W. II. Shoemaker , cx-domocratli ) aspirant for county attorney -It was that imbroglio n the municipality of Now York city that jaught u in the trap. The democrats can ay its defeat of the national tlclcot at iho loorwny of Mayor Hewitt. That man was uHtrnincntal in bringing nbout a republican , -ictory , and is no doubt u uorc-Jieud.

Councilman Kitchen To be Jr.ink about t , I am surprised lit the outcome. Hut I A-O.S of the opinion that thu chances to lower ho democratic flag on the tariff issues , were he most promising. City Attorney Webster The result Was iwuy above my actual expectations , although felt confident nil the While Hint Harrison vould ho elected. But to swoon the Empire tale the stronghold of national democracy - was the greatest blow that could bo dealt ho Cleveland administration. Thu people ire not desirous of free trade yet.

The question arises n my mind : How wan it done I Justice HoJmoi The strikers of Tammany mil wore the first cause of Cleveland's ' do out and then the people out west have not icon suHlclently educated in the benefits of i tariff reform.

AMUSEMENTS. The comic opera of the "Little Tycoon , " which will close an engagement , nt. the Grand opera house with two performances to-day , came to Omaha heralded by n popular sic- cess In the cost exceptional In the history of productions of this character. It has now occupied the stage some three years , growing steadily in favor , and is stronger to-day where it has frequently been seen than at Its first production. This will easily be believed by those of our citizens who have attended the Graud opera house the lust two evenings - ings , nnd enjoyed , as they could not help do ing , the pretty music , the re II nod comedy , nnd the punircnt satire which is the motif of this very happy conception in the line of light , opera. Anart from its merit. which is very decided , ns n tuneful and amusing production , the "Littlo Tycoon" i.s superior to most other works of its class in being entirely clean and fico from the slightest suggestion of indelicacy which might ollend the most fastidious. It attests that a thoroughly pleasing entertainment of this kind can bo furnished without a fea ture objectionable to the most refined taste , unit in accomplishing this its author , Mr. Willnrd Spenser , deserves a liberal success. Produced under the immediate management and supervision of the author the opera is presented with every requirement of costum ing , scenic effects and stage appointment- ) to render it most attractive in those respects , and the result is eminently praiseworthy. The company Is strong both in numbera and ability , nnd its work bears evidence of care ful and capable instruction. The star of the cast ia MISH Catherine Lmynnl. who as Violet , the dungntor of General Knickerbocker and afterwards the Little Tycoon , charms both by her excellent wing ing nnd her finished acting. The General Knickerbocker is Thomas O. Scabrooke , mid ho shows himself n comedian of uncommon excellence. Mr , . ) . Aldricli Libby sings and acts well in the part of Afvin Barry , n youn'/ American in love with Violet , and to w ( .vlioni he ussnmes the role of the Great Tycoon. Mr. Lloyd Wilson Is very acccptu- ) lc ns Kufns Ready , und the Teddy of Joseph Vlculy is ono of the catching features of thu intortuinmcnt. Miss Klvio Crox Ims u pait > f considerable importance In Dolly Dimple , Violet's school friend , und aim carries it vith vivacity and pi ninnuy. The Miss Uiir- Icanc , of Marie Sanger is not to bo over- ooked , for she Hupplica her shuro of ho fun and does so most no- leptably. Theio are several pretty nud etching airs in thu opera , notably "Lovo Monies Like a Summer Sigh" and "Toll Mo , ) aisy , " and these are charmingly rendered > y Miss Lininrd. The choruses are strong .ml show thorough drill , and it can he said if the lady members that they are nil young , I'ith fresh voices , pretty faces and a manner lenotini ; modesty and refinement. The rom dy is continuous , the interest of thu auditor 4 kept active by a rapid ilow of incident , nnd Itogether the "Littlo Tycoon" furnishes nn nle'rtalnnicnt which nobody can fail to "Joy. liscnsi'S Cured by CiiUcurn Itcmcdlcs when Hot SpriiiKS , l > octors and nil oilier Moillclncs Fall.
