At the Ellis Opera House.

Manager Ellis should be given a vote of thanks by the theatre going people of Rensse aer for the treat lie has given them this week. What a rare pleasure it is for those of artistic tastes to he afforded an opportunity occasionally of witneshing a display of real iah nt, we may say, almost genius. The Garrick Theatre Company, which has been holding forth at tb Opera House all this week, is indeed a superb organization. Jt has been our privilege to see few companies, in Roip'selaer, that eou d approach the Garricks in point of excellence. The ordinary company that visits us will perhaps have two, or possiby three creditable artists, but with the Gairicks there is not one of the members who is not above mediocrity, and all bear the stamp of metropolitan training. 11 is so seldom that we see artists of this class in our little city that we were curious to know the reasons of the management for playing tbese smaller ci'ies,and securing an interview with Messrs. Lando&Kempton the question was ask.-d. “Well, you see,” replied Mr. Kempton, “tliis has been a very hard season for our business, and we have found that the hard times . ffect the cities more than the country. The fore part of the season we were playing the laigei cities, bu 4 oar proGtsdid not compensate us for our investment or ou labor, and we decided to try the smaller places where wa could draw from the country people We. ha,ve done very well sin e adopting tlbs plan, and it is possible we v ill go through some ot the same territory next season.”

The repertoire of the company is a varied one and calculated to please all classes of theatre-goers. Perhaps the mostfiniehed produc tion will be given this evening, when Dumas’ celebrated soociety drama “Camille,” will be presented. To say that Miss Carr, who assumes the title role, is clever, does not half express it. She is truly a remarkable youug actress. Mr. Lando m&kes an admirable Armand, and in fact the entire cast gives her splendid supportIt is to be hoped, the citizen? of Rensselaer will have anothei op portunitv of seeing the Garricks next season. The Sentinel ex [tends to them it? hearty good will.

Eight members of the Salvation Army were arrestee by the Indianapolis police last Saturday evening for holding street services. They wore promptly given ball and when arraigned before the. police judge Tuesday were also promptly discharged.

April 1, 2 and 3 will witness the gathering of all the teachers of Northoru lndi - ana in the oity ot Elkhart to attend the fifteenth annual session of the Northern lndi ina Teachers’ Association. A splendid programme has been prepared; and s the railroads have teudered transportation at the rate of one fare for the round trip it is uxpeoted that there will be a large attendance If the rabbits have been mowing your youig trees don’t pass throng another winter without tring thiß plan.

Those who have tried it are loud in their praise of this method of protection. It is certainly cheap and easy. A Truth 1 1 l ainly Stated.— The trut h is plainly -tated by Harper’s Weekly when it s .ys that “it is not an inorease of re enne that the country needs so much us economy. Mr. McKinley, iudoed, touched upon the necessity for eoonomy, but it was in a gingerly anddtshourtening man - ner. He should have pointed out 4 o reckless extravagance that marked t e closing hours of the Senate’s session—extravagance to whioh the Home was so unwillinp to asssnt that Congress adjourned leaving the deficiency bill in con- *■ re .oe, while Mr. C'evelaud refused to sign rh. jo other bills, including the sundry civil bill. ”

Tbe democrats in the United States senate should do all in their power to prevent the anaotment of a taritf designed to give additional protection to manufacturers and the promotion of trusts. The present tarifl affords ample prot> otiou to manufacturing interests. The presont tariff would provide ample rev.nue it the government were eoonomioallv admin! iterod. Congress coulu lop off at least $7'i,000,000 of expenses wl bout ’njuiing the public servico. It would be better to do this than to increase the annual burdens of the people to that extent. T rill tinkering bus become a polite method of stealing fr>m the people. High tariff’ laws are enacted qv a system of log rolling in whioh one prote<-tod interest helps another to rob and plunder Tho protected manufacturers of Ne» England and Pennsylvania join with the sugar plant ers of Louissano and (he wool growers of the west in holding up the Amerioun con - sumers, No tolerance should be given such schemes of plunder.—Loganspoit Pharos-

Cleveland's Tkkasuby Lkdacy.— M<. H. G. Curtis, of Boston, uublighe a talno in whioh ha seta forth in a striking miinner Ihe difference in the state of the Irene ry at the end of both President Clevelrnd’s terms and the condition in which President Cleveland found the trea my at the beginning of each A his administrations. When Pres dent Cleveland rttireain Ma ch. 1889, tliere-was a balance in the treasuiy of $165,574,678. Prom this should be deduct! d $82,577,250 held for the redemption of national bank notes, $180,249 in minor ooins. $24,715,021 in subsidiary silver coin, leaving a net ava lable balance of $48,090,148. Whon Mr. Cleveland went back into ofli e in 1898 he found a delieit of $9,641,808. Xho Harrison administration had not onlv exhausted all the large surplus left by President Clevelaud bat had run $9,041,808 behind and had piled up obligations t nllit g for many millions moro President Cleveland at the end of four years left another available net balance of $72,630,916. It will be teen that both of Mr. Cleveland’s Admlnistrations|turned over to Bepnblican successors a v< ry strong treasury account, while the last Cleveland administration received Irom its Republican predecessor iu 1898 a verv weak tin ncial status Mr. Curtis onoludes that Secretary Gage tins before him a task comparatively ea y when contrasted with wnat Carlisle had to assume
