Louis Cannot Compote with Chicago as o Grain Market. SCALPING. AMONG TIE MANY EVILS that rallnads bavo 'to contend againsh, none is haider to « radicate than the systemn of paying comminslon 8 for tho sale of tickets, Numborless attumpts hay ‘o already beou mado for ita abolish- mont, but thu 8 far nothing has boon accomplishe ed; tha ticke t-agonts, ecalpers, aud runnors only langhed at’ theso futilo attompts, knowtng full well that it was ahnost as oasy to mix oil nud water as {0 unito tho varions rallrond- manage:s on o sub jeot like this, About o year ago, at n mocting ot’ tho Nallway Aesociation of Amorica, it was resvlved to pay no more com- missions, provided th companies not reprosent- ed in the meeting should join in the movoment. All tho ronds in the couniry signed the agree- mont excopt tho Lrio and Baltimore & Ohio Tmlronds, whicl rofused to juiu, sud on that | accouut all the othera DUOKE FROM THE AGREEMENT and kopt on paying commiseions. Lately a gpasm of virluo has come over the vory ronds that biad refused to join a year sgo. Ata Inte mooting hold at Now York City, tho Now York Central, Pennuylvania, Bultimore & Ohio, and Erie Roilroads decided to abolish sl commission oftices fu New York City, and pay no moro com- mizsious from the East to the West, At the Baratogn confercneo these ronds went still fur- thor, and aboiished all outside offices cast of Pitisburg, Circulars hnove been sent by these roacs to all the Western roads, requesting them to join in tho movement. But up to this dato but little has beon done in the Wost iz regard to this matter. The Chicag'y,ronds wore willing enough to follow in the w¥ao of the Now York roads, but N THE ST, LOUIS ROADS REFUSED, claiming thut they wero unable to sompota with Clicago without tho nid of the eealpers. The Chicago 10ads bave now decided to go ahoad withiout tho aid of St. Louis roads, and it 18 nu- dorstood ibat, afler the 1st of September, no moro commissions will bo paid botween Chicago sud Ownba over the pooled lines. It is, how-~ ovar, doubtiul that this arravgement will Jast very loug, as the scalpers are not idle, aud aro doing =il thsy can to thwart the action of the maovagers. BEven if TIUL COMMIFSION BYSTEM shonld now be entirely abolished, it wonld nat sbolish ecalpers and ticket-gwindlors, Il was shown in theso columus & fow duys ago thattheso wen havo aiready made raids upon the country cditors to_induce thom to scll thetr editorinl tickoty, and that thoy are buying up numberless ticiots sivlen by dishonese ratirond omploses.

M'VIOKER'S TUEATRE. When Edwin Adams, a year or two ago, flung asido the legitimato drama and tied himsel! down to ** Enoch Ardon,” the act savored of sulcido. As ho gradually unfolds to Chicago audiences tho many characters in his contiol, tho verdict of temporary insanity which an wdulgent public lost no tuno in renderivg becomes moro sud moto justifiable. Already lie has piven usa series of creations worthy of the roputation which bas grown with Lim, Last evoning he played in o fine old tragedy of the Fronch Rovo- lutiou, *‘Tho Dead lleart,” which, dospite tho occasional recourso to violent nc- tion, renderod mecessary by tho stirring character of tho events of the period represcut~ ed, deserves & high rank among the picces which still bold tho stage. Its sphit lives in Victor Hugo's lateat work. Tho evonts of the dramn tuko us back to & poriod somowhat previous to that time, and tho closing scenes bring vividly bofore our minds thoe romaniic and gloomy chap- ter which closes the *I'alo of T'wo Citica.” The material of whioh the play is mnde, owever, is entirely apart from any suggostion of eithor work. Years have elapsed sinco Edwin Adams ployed tho part of Robert Landry. Itis s ques- tion whether bo over played it hore. As it will bo rotained for two more performances, o sketch of the plot may not be uninteresting, The scono is Iaid in Frauco, of course, the dato s decadeand s bhalf provions to tho IKreuch Revolution. TRobert Landry loves and is about $o marry Catherine Duval. Entering ler room ono night, he finds the Count St. Valaire pros- ent beforo him, A scouo of some intorest onsues, when a crafty churchman of the timo, the Albe Latour, optors with soldiors and ordors tho ar- veat of Landry on the charge of troason, This closos the first act. 1n the seoond, the Revolu- tion bas commouced, and the curtaiu rises on tha taking of tho Bastile. Among the many wan and omacinled captives roleased by the mob in Robert Landry, who hes languishod there for soventoen yoara, "' Ileds ostora to lifo, and reappears upon thescenes of active lifo, with ono object in viow,— revongo. Menvwhile, Cafherine bas married tho Count; he hos died and loft a son who boars tho name of Arthur, Lalour hna becoms the young aristocrat's tutor. Tho objects of Landry's re- vengo are Lalour and the Count St, Valaire, Tho fatbor boing doad, theson iuberits tho eumity of the rescued prisonor. A monllufi oceurs botwoen oburchman and prisonor, when tho former is pro- vented from hkinfi tho Iattor's lifo by theappaor- aucoof Catherine. Thoscene of the rinzontio is & law gambling-den to which tho Abbe Las luied young St. Valaire, Through tho ovents of the Revolution both Latour and the young St. Vai- aire bocomo prisonma and aro doomed to the Enlllotinn. Landry Las porsistontly fotlowed hom and sccured ibeir coudomnation. Theyare his prisuncrs, for ho is & lender of the Revolu- tion. To slako hig thirst for rovenge, ho sum- moug Lafour from his cell, bands him n pass- port, holds out to im evory chance for life, with ono drawback only, Tho "two men must fight, and the survivor has tho chanco of life. They fight, and Lafour is slain, dvivg witha profossed sceret on lis lips, Ons of his cvemics Las fallon, and Zandry has only tho othet to do- mroy, ‘The young Count is to dio on the follow. ing mormng. Landry diacovors by means of o leitor found in _Lalour's pockotbook that the miacrable churchmau was alono 1osponsibla for his many years of imprivonment. A lottor i thore found, sigued by the Count 8t. Valaire, in which ho 1evosls tlo plot by which the prisoner was mada to sppear as doad, and calls Latour to witness his own iunocencein the premises, This 1evolation revorses the course of Landry's ro- voogo. Ho hastous to tho mourning mother, rauows hia lovo for her, takes ber son's placa in tho tumbril and at the guullotine, thuy forfeiting his own lifo to proserve tuat of the won of his euemy. 'Lhoro are somo cruel defects nbout the picce. Among them Is the batred of Landry for the innocent son of his sup{;mmd porsecutor. This iu forced and unintolligible, Buing essentinl to the unity of tho piece & woakness here affects tho wholo, Tho koystoue of the arch, the pivat of intorest, is imporfect.
