The Olympic.

Since its opening as a continuous vaudeville theater the Olympic in Chicago has made the most astonishing success ever known in that city. No such programmes have ever before been provided for the patrons of a variety theater. Each week the bill is changed, and the best stars from Europe and of this country succeed each other, which has made the instantaneous recognition of the Olympic Theater as the leading variety house of the west, if not of the country. With its magnificent central location on Clark street, just north of Randolph, and less than a stone's throw from the court house, it has ad vantages that no other theater possesses. It is, therefore, a most popular resort for visitors to the city who are in town for a day, and who do not remain over night. They may run in at any hour after noon any day of the week and witness a performance of the very best character for a merely nominal price of admission. The matinees are especially well patronized by ladies and children, and in the evening no better dressed or more intelligent audiences can be found in any Chicago play house. Early in October the Olympic will begin playing the best vaudeville combinations, such as Tony Pastor's Weber and Field’s. Gus ! Hill’s. Hyde's Comedians. Rus- | sell Brothers' Comedians and 'companies of their class, in 1 which will.be found such stars as Billy Emerson. George Thatcher. -Willis Sweatnam. the Schaefer family. James F. Hoey, and. in fact, the best and highest priced artists on the variety stage. The wise policy of the Olympic management in chargI ing no higher prices than 10, 20 and 80 clnts for the very best seats in the house has demonstrated its superiority over the catch-penny devices of certain managers who misrepresent their offerings and rates of admission, and the fact that you may go when you please and stay as long as you please is a strong inducement for out of town visitors whose time is limited.

It ought to be patent to every southern and western democrat that voting for a free silver congressman to make a free silver coinage law, and at the same time voting for a gold bug president that will veto it, is one way of settling the silver question that leaves it very much unsettled. An exchange says that one of the reasons for maintaining a navy is to protect our missionaries in foreign lands. That's the doctrine! Cram our rel ziotj down their throats.
