The Census Unsatisfactory. '
The announcement of the result of the
census for this city has awakened a great
deal of comment and argument as to its
correctness and also as to tbe actual
population of the city. We did not
make tbe canvass of the city, conse
quently are not prepared to dispute the
correctness - of the assessor's figures.
Others, however, do so, and point to the
census of school children, in round num
bers 1250, as an evidence that the census
is not full. According to It there are
1143 persons in the city, counting the
males under 21 years and the females
under 18, while the school census, taking
n but a trifling outside territory, shows
100 more than that number between the
ages of 4 and 21. , We are free to state
that we 'were surprised at the figures, as
we had supposed there were not less than
4000 and possibly the number would
reach 4500. v
There iaonly one way to settle tbe dis
pute, and that is to take the census over
again in a house to house canvass. As
some of our citizen's are firmly of tbe
opinion tbe city has at least a thousand
more than tbe population credited to it,
it is probable this will be done at
private expense. Tbe attendance at
the schools, the number of school chil
dren and tbe number of legal voters all
indicate a population of over 4000.

A Social Glass.
'A Social Glass" at the opera bouse
last night did not draw as large a house
as it should have done, or as it was ex
pected to do. One reason of this, we
think, was the fact that . admission was
placed at 75 cents for reserved.' seats,
while if it had been 50 cents the bouBe
would have been pretty well filled. "A
Social Glass," as its name implies, is a
temperance play, calculated to show the
danger that lies in the wine cup. The
play was well put on, but the curtain
did not. go up until 20 minutes to 9
o'clock, and as the play is in five acts,
and the curtain was down a long time
between them, it was after 11 o'clock
before it was concluded.
There is some genuine talent in the
Moro Dramatic Club, talent the play
was not well calculated to bring ont,
owing to its lachrymose character.
Mr. Walter H. Moore as "Charles
Thornly," took the part well, especially
in tbe first act, which was the only one,
by tbe way, that gave him much chance
to show what was - in him. Tbe drink
ing scene, winding up with his intoxica
tion, was well done, and his fall over
come by liquor and drugs, was some
thing that Menken herself could not
equal. It was natural and realistic.
Clyde Williams as "Howard Hadley,"
and Geo. N. Bolton as "Dr. Slater,"
were well taken, though there was not
much in either part. J. B. Hoeford as
the barkeeper, "Farley," sustained tbe
character well, and in tbe last scene in
which he appeared did some. very realis
tic acting. Wm. Holder as the schem
ing villain lawyer, "Hollis," probably
made a good one, but we never could do
tbe villain in a play justice, because we
always feel like falling on bim. ' Mr. C.
E. Brown as "Bob Brittle, the only
light character of a rather, lugubrious
play, made mends with the audience in
leds than a minute after the -curtain
raised, and ..indeed he became tbe cen
tral figure. His manner on the stage is
easy and natural, and there is no doubt
but that be 'possesses marked, talent
for that kind of .work.-: The ladies had
a hard time of if, as both "Mrs. Thornly"
(Mrs. W. H Moore) and "Mrs. Farley
(Mrs. R. L. Campbell) bad very difficult
roles to play, though both made the
most of them." Mrs. J. B. Hoeford as
"Nettle Nettleby" assisted "Bob Brit
tie" in giving a lighter coloring to the
play. ' -4 ; . i -. ; , - 1 , ;

interfered, and shall not interfere ; but
with the governments which have de
clared their independence and main
tained it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration and just
principles, acknowledged, we could not
view an interposition for oppressing
them, or controlling in any other man
ner their destiny, by- any European
power, in an other light than as a mani
festation of an unfriendly disposition
toward the United States."
