TB.TJRSDAT. OCf-'A 1690. THE CLOSE OF CONGKE. Congress wound up its business yesterday. It adjourned after what, we believe, is the longest session onreeord, with one excep tion, and that exception onlv exceeded this session by a few days. The session just closed was ten months Ion;;; and, apart from the tariff bill, it is necessary to say that the work done during those ten months is en tirelv out of proportion to the time spent in doing it. This Congress will be judged by the tariff bill and by its purely partisan measures, more than by anv other work that it has clone. If the tariff bill, after a year or tvto of trial, is found to operate satisfactorily to the country, the session will stand in history as a good one. If it turns out, after lull trial, to be unsatisfactory, the long months of the session will have to be set down as wasted. This test cannot be completed by a few months' trial. While the bill is, as all tarifflegislation must be, full of compromises and patch work, it is to be recognized that it is a revision of the tariff carried through by the friends of protection as a system, rather than by its enemies. The last tariff revision lasted seven years. If this work has been well done it ought to last longer than that, before new tariff tinkering is required. Beyond this measure, which played its part in prolonging the session, a great share of this extremely long sit'ing was due to the time spent in partisan fi ghts over the rnles, o er contested elections and on the Federal elections bill, in which the sole issne was partisan advantage. The Dispatch has expressed itself freely concerning that class of measures, and it is not necessary to re peat any of its arguments. It is only perti nent to point out that except for the party spirit whtch turns its viewsorparIiamentary law npside down, unseats members and tries to pass election bills exclusively for the benefit of party, the tariff bill might have been completed and Congress ad journed in July or August instead of Oc tober. The first session of the Filty-hrst Congress was fall of illustrations of the ialse tenden cies of our present p-l.iics. It - to be ioped that .he second session can correct the record a little without resorting to the device of expunging. EDUCATION AND CRIME. The assertions to the effect that education does not diminish crime were pretty thor oughly answered by a paper read at the recent Prison Congress. This allegation was based on the showing of the statistics that seventy per cent of the convicts in certain prisons of the country are able to read and write. On the basis of this showing the claim has been seriously made that it is disproof of the tendency of common school education to limit or deter from the commission of crimes. As the paper referred to shows, this de duction from the returns is caused by the failure to take into account a vital lactor in the problem, namely, the proportion of il literacy to the population. If there were no illiterates at all in the country, all peo ple convicted. of crime would necessarily be of the edncated class; but that would not prove the worthlessness of edncation in lim iting crime. Something close to that is actually the cae. "When the examination is carried back of the pris on returns, it is found that communities furnishing 70 per cent of convicts able to read and write have 95 per cent of citizens able to read and write, and only five per cent of illiterates. The 95 per cent only lurnish 70 per cent of the criminal class; t!icfie per cent of illiterates furnish SO per cent of the convicts. In other words, the ratio of the recognized criminal class is six times as great among the ignorant as among those who have any education. It is not to be denied that there are other causes of crime than ignorance, or even that ot'ier conditions beside illiteracy combine to put the ignorant in the criminal class in undue proportion. But so tar as the statis tics throw any light on the relation of public education to crime, they are decidedly zavorable. Intelligence is a restraining force on a large class of crimes. THE STEEL STANDARD. The discussion of the proposition to mod ify the standards for steel in the new naval vessels, in these columns yesterday, left one point unexplained which, in justice to the Pittsburg steel trade, should be noticed. Tbdt is the lack of foundation for the state ment that no firm but Carnegie, Phippi & Co is able to furnish steel that will meet the standard of the Navy Department The averment to that effect was made by the 'Washington correspondence of the Bos ton Herald; and, as The Dispatch said, in the form it was made, was a splendid ad vertisement for the Carnegie works. Under the impression, while the class of steel products involved was not specified, that it referred to the structural forms, the direct truth of the statement was allowed to pass unchallenged. Further investigation show ing that the forms of steel involved in the dispute are plates and rivets, it becomes pertinent to say that the allegation is en tirely without foundation. So far from Carnegie, Phipps & Co. be ing the only firm in the country able to meet the standards of theSicard board, there are seven other firms in this city who, we are assured by competent authority, are able to meet any requirements yet made by the Navy Department; and, of those seven, three have been furnishing steel to the navy w th entire success. The allega tion of a monopoly, by reason of the high requirements, is thus shown to be entirely untrue. As to the question gf modifying the standard, there are slight differences of opinion among the steel interests of Pitts burg. One leading firm, other than Car negie, Phipps & Co., will oppose any change in the requirements. Others, while agreeing to the necessity of keeping up the standard, hold that the requirement of the highest class of steel for some parts, which are not vital, might be modified for the purpose of lessening expense. There is no dispute, however, that the standard should be kept as high as it now is in all vital re spects, and that no less than eight Pittsburg concerns can meet the requirements so as to furnish a healthy competition. It is no more than justice to Pittsburg to have this fact understood. It also clears up the subject to have it shown that the allegation of a monopoly by reason of the high standard of the Sicard board, is en tirely in conflict with the facts. LABOR'S WORST DANGER. One of the leading items of news in labor matters renders it necessary to point out the results that are involved when labor organ izations take to fighting each other. It has long been a fundamental rule of action in labor circles that an employer who attacked or opposed the organization of his hands in any form was to be taken as inimical to labor. No preference of the employer for one form of organization over another was permitted to modify the con demnation of any one who attempted to break down an organization of working men. Though the condemnation was often extreme, and the retaliatory measures were sometimes carried to unjustifiable lengths, the idea at the bottom of the contention was correct. It involves the personal rights of the workingmen that they be permitted to form any organization they choose, within the law. Friendly advice from outsiders may be pertinent when offered as such; but nnv attempt to coerce laboring men from be longing to a labor organization is an interfer ence with their individual rights. Now when two labor organizations begin fighting each other, what happens? One of them orders a strike to have the members of another dismissed from their work; the other retaliates with a boycott; and so on until, as threatened recently to be the case in this city, each is fully committed to the policy of breaking up the other. In other words, the representatives of organized labor take exactly the course which has been long condemned in employers by the ethics of labor organization. It is hard to understand how they can do so without seeing that they cut the ground from under their own feet. The principle being established that no man has a right to say to another that he shall not join any union he chooses under pain of dismissal from his work, it is inconsistent to take that very position by engaging all the powers of one organization to drive the members of another out of employment. If this involved merely the destruction of the reasonable basis on which labor organi zation is defended from attacks, it would be bad enough; but unfortunately fights be tween the organizations do not stop there. Sometimes the employers are dragged in. For years employers have been impressed that they must not interfere with the liberty of the men to join whatever unions they please. Now in some cases they are di rected to violate that principle and discharge the men belonging to one organization under penalty of strike or boycott by the othe r. The first aspect of such a position that strikes the Impartial mind is its injustice. The employer in such cases has recognized the right of his men to form their own unions. He has left them at liberty to join what organization they please, free from his dictation. Having thus committed himself to the principle of free labor organ ization, he is asked to violate the principle, is dragged into a fight for which he has no responsibility, and his business hampered and delayed through no fault of his, and solely because some hasty leaders of the labor organizations themselves forgot their own principles and interests in their rivalry. Bnt the injury to labor does not stop there. Heretofore the employer has had the greatest inducement to recognize labor or ganization in the maintenance of harmony with his employers. But if such conflicts continue, as those now going in various cities.that harmony will become impossible. Labor organization has succeeded in es tablishing itself on a firm basis by adhering to a conservative line of action, and stand ing upon the principles of individual right The tendency to depart from that principle has been manifested locally in but one instance; but the results involved are so great as to make it necessary to point out that when such conflict is permitted, it undermines the foundation on which labor organization stands. It violates the princi ple which defends them from outside attack, and stimulates employers to violate it also. It involves those who have supported labor organization in quarrels without their fault, and it actually gives an excuse to un friendly employers to get loose from the fighting organizations altogether. Contending Jsrbor organizations have the fuli right to urge upon workingmen their respective effectiveness, economy or democracy of organization; but when they get into fights which provoke demands from either that employers shall discbarge the members of the other, they need the warn ing that such a course threatens the destruction of labor organization at the foundation. THIS IS BUSINESS. "When the Americus Club was formed The Dispatch was gratified to be able to point out how it and kindred local organi zations could be of service to the city by ad vocating measures for the development of our home interests. That the Americus or ganization appreciates these possibilities is shown by its success in getting an indorse ment for the Xiake Brie Canal at the late convention of State clubs in Philadelphia. It is not surprising to hear there was some opposition from the political agents of cor porate interests on that occasion. Neither is it surprising that the Pittsburgers, being enthusiastically earnest, overcame that op position. Let all our local clubs, without regard to faction or partisanship, unite in standing up for whatever will help Pittsburg, and we shall soon begin to see how what are now merely rose-colored projects will quick ly become realities, fraught with prosperity for this town. MR. WHEAT HARVESTED. Postmaster Wheat, of the House of Eep resentatives resigned a little too late. The committee which investigated his case had no choice bnt to recommend his instant dis missal. There is no doubt that this Wheat was ripe to the harvest some time ago. Whether a rogue or a simpleton, for one or the other he must be, he is not even a toler able partisan postmaster. It might, be profitable to inquire whether Mr. Wheat was advised to commit certain grave frauds by divers Bepublican statesmen as he swore he was. The public is not concerned further with Mr. Wheat, but we should advise his friends as a work ot pure philanthropy, to have guardians appointed to care for the THE ex-Postmaster. A man who has such vague ideas of right and wrong as Mr. Wheat en tertains should not be allowed fobs at large, for his own'sake and the world's. ' i NOTnANKs TO SPEAKER REED, Speaker Heed has been wont to exult? in breaking precedents. He has a keen ap preciation no doubt of the departure made by the House of Bepresentatives yesterday from the beaten track. It has been the custom from time immemorial to give the Speaker of the House a complimentary vote of thanks at the end of the season. In the Senate the same courtesy has been extended to the presiding officer, and both Vice President Morton and Senator Ingalls re ceived the usual compliment yesterday and responded to it in pleasant fashion. But in the House Speaker Heed's ears heard nothing of the sort None of his admiring associates had the temerity to propose a vote of thanks to him. The House was spared a farce, and one more record was broken by the popular branch of the Fifty-first Con gress. A NEW INDUSTRY. According to the statements of Pittsburg manufacturers the new tariff bill has al ready had a beneficial effect upon this re gion. In particular the bill promises to es tablish the manufacture of tinned plate here at once. The new industry is to be in augurated upon a grand scale, with works covering acres, costing millions, and em ploying a great number of men. A prac tical illustration is here presented of what protection can do. IT WAS AN AWFUL MOMENT. For a few moments yesterday the prolon gation of the Congressional session was an awful possibility. Mr. Allen, the humor ous representative from Mississippi, was de nied the privilege of extending his remarks in that wonderful volume of romance, the Congressional Record. But a Bepublican speaker who followed him was accorded that permission, and Mr. Allen, who had been tricked unfairly in another way, was natu rally indignant. Just for once he was able to defy the iron rules of Mr. Reed, and the crushing majority behind the Speaker. Mr. Allen simply called attention to the fact that a quorum was not present and that the adjournment ot the House therefore could not be considered. With"the prospect be fore him of indefinite continuance of the session Mr. McKinley generously moved that Mr. Allen be allowed to print anything and everything he wanted in. the Record. Thus a lively campaign speech may be ex pected to appear in the Record, and as our readers are glad to know, the House ad journed. The sage remark is made by the Phila delphia Record that "The duly on aluminium proposed in the McKinley bill is not 15 per cent, as has been erroneously printed, but 15 cents a pound. Should the experiments of Professor Hirsch bring down the price of aluminium to fifteen cents a pound, as he promises, this would make a duty of one hun dred per cent" Also. If the price should be brought down to a cent a pound the duty would be fifteen hundred per cent. But as a dollar a pound Is the cheapest price yet made the duty is only the percentage first stated. The ability of the esteemed Record in figuring out high rates of duties is something phenomenal. The Louisiana lottery dies hard, but, the New York World asserts, it is on iits last legs. It seems that the country is going tb be treated to the unusual spectacle of a law passed to suppress a notorious and powerful abuse, and enforced after its passage. It is interesting to observe that some of our Republican cotemporarles',"Whowere" very sure that tne Tillman movement in South Carolina would be suppressed by Democratic shotguns, are now enlarging on the fact that the Tillman Democracy is threatening to kill off the .negroes if they vote for Haskell, the In dependent Democratic candidate. When Till man became a regular Democrat he come under the political bane of the shotgun, al though he threatened to use that handy weapon just as much during the time when the Republican papers of the North were patting him on the hack. President Harrison is not making much use of his veto power, bat there can be no doubt that he made good use ot it yesterday when he vetoed a bill which aimed to create a monopoly of gambling for certain Washington sports. It is an interesting feature of politics that the regular Democratic organs are pruning down the disposition to run Congressmen like McAdoo and Vaux, who have been thrown overboard by their local machines, as independ ent candidates. The right of independent action Is something which your true blue Democratic organ wishes to confine to the Re publican ranks. If the Bepublicans make much of that picture showing the empty Democratic seats In the House, the Democrats may 'respond with an illustration of the Republicans firing the Democrats out of their seats. That township in McKean connty where 13 out of 110 Republican voters were found, by the first poll, who intended to vote for Dela mater, and on a succeeding poll six of them had been converted to Pattison, is really too jug-handled. Very much of that Bort of thing will make the process of vindication a discour aging one. The Chinese may be slow to assimilate; but when two Chinamen have been arrested in St. Paul for robbing a bank, who says that they are entirely incapable of learning the customs of the country? Perhaps the signal service may be able to favor the country with more than two days of pleasant weather at a time, when it Is trans ferred to the Agricultural Department If Uncle Jerry Busk can reform the unsatisfac tory weather, his Presidental boom will assume magnificent proportions. The billiard experts give some pretty ex hibitions of their skill in The Dispatch to day, bat how these wondrous feats are per formed must ever be a mystery to most players. By the way, that expectation that the President would veto the $25,000,090 river and harbor grab does not appear to have panned out Perhaps President Harrison was too anx ious to get rid of Congress on any terms, to make a fuss over a little matter like $25,000,000. Foe the adjournment of Congress yester day the nation owes thanks to the self-denial of Mr. Allen, of Mississippi. The activity of the Politician, the organ of the Republican Congressional Committee, in inflicting what it supposes to be stabs but are really pin-pricks upon James G. Blaine, maybe successful in capturing several Con gressional districts for the other fellows. The encouraging news is repeated from down East that the Envelope Trust is losingits adhesiveness. The game of billiards is more popular than ever with the people, Mr. Schaefer says, and it would be more popular still and not nearly so expensive if some way of holding the clock's bands during the progress of a three ball game could bo discovered. Ono Cause for Rcjolclnc. From the St. Louis Globe-Demvcrat Rep, The best thing about the new tariff bill is the fact that there will not-.be Another one to wrangle over for several years to come.

She was evidently looking for something par ticular, for after glancing hurriedly overjtbo first page she turned it over and. ran her eye down the second.

But she wasn't for she turned the paper clean over and began harking back from the eighth Dago. Whatever she sought was not on the eighth page; it was not among the markets on the seventh, or the baseball and sporting on the sixth. , The interested spectators in the rear grew excited. As she reached the seventh page she gave a little scream and ex claimed as she put a gloved finger on the pa per: "Here it is! Now isn't that too sweet for any use!" It was an advertising cut of a new sealskin capel EVEflYBODY GOES. Jn" Vebtbody goes to the Exposition. Among the afternoon visitors yesterday was a blind man. The latter saw everything, of course, through his guide's eyes. A few minutes after the blind man had entered a big man with a very small voice came (up to the ticket office. "How much does it cost to get in T" he asked. "A quarter," said the ticket seller. "How much?" "Twenty-five cents !" "What did you say T Speak up I" "A quarter of a dollar I ' shouted the ticket seller. "I'm a little deaf," said the visitor, mildly, laying down a dime. The ticket seller took a pencil and a slip of paper and wrote in large letters: "Admission, Twenty-five Cents." "Why didn't you say so," responded the deaf man, reproachfully. JESSE JAMES' LITTLE SON. wr rrii all that has been written about that fa mous Missouri outlaw, Jesse James, little has ever been said about his family or domestic relations. By those not familiar with his histo ry it is generally supposed that when the Ford boys did their dastardly work the great bandit was single, and that save his brother Frank.his race was extinguished with him. This impres sion is wrong, however, for Jesse was married and was the father of one child, a boy, who was an infant when his father was killed. This boy now lives with his widowed mother in a modest little house on Troost avenue, in Kansas City, Mo. He is called Jesse James, Jr. He is now about 13 years of age, and is an elevator boy in the American National Bank building in that city. He'is a steady and industrious lad, and his small earnings are all that his mother and he have to exist on. Young James has been fairly well educated for a boy of his age and opportunities, but ho is a great student and has learned many things himself. He is an omnivorous reader, and nearly all of the standard authors of romance and history are familiar to him. When his father was killed young Jesse was too small to understand what kind of a life his parent had led, but since he has attained to boyhood's estate he has read everything that has ever been written about the train robber. He is not only familiar with every detail of his father's life, but he is also familiar with the history of every other outlaw that ever existed, and he can talk as glibly about the daring deeds of Robin Hood and other bandits of ye olden time as he can about the more recent exploits of the Younger boys and Jim Cummings. Moreover the dates and localities of every historic rob bery that has ever been committed are athis tongue's end, withal though""Jesse7r. Is very reticent and is loth to talk to strangers. The boy has also many interesting relics in his possession that are connected with bis father's life, such as old revolvers, spurs, masks, favorite bridles and saddles of tho dead outlaw, and a great scrap-book that contains clippings of nearly everything that has ap peared in print about his father. To those who happen to know his identity, the son of the famous outlaw is an object of great curiosity, and among the boys of the city he is regarded with awe, and wherever be goes young Jesse always commands their respectful homage. ROOM FOR SUSPICION. 'T'llE Rev. Sampson Doolittle lives in the suburbs. The other evening he met Brother Beacbup in a back street strolling carelessly along with an empty bag on his shonlder. "Hi!

A certain clubman whose stories are always told in the first person has at last become a decided bore to bis friends, and one of them resolved to call him down. Boon the occasion came. The self-laudatory clubman had told a story of being held up by highwaymen in Kansas. He represented it as a cold, rainy night on a muddy road in the country, and wound up by stating that the robbers escaped. Here was the chance, and his friend said: "If it was muddy. I should think yon could have followed them tho next morning. They must have left plenty of tracks." This seemed to be a poser that would have downed any ordinary man, but it did not phase our hero. He rose to the emergency and said: "I thought so too, but when I looked the next morning I found that tho robbers had left nb tracks. You see, the mud out there is so sticky that their tracks stuck fast to their feet, and they carried them away with them." PEOPLE WE BEAD ABOUT.

THUESDAT, OCTOBER A WARM WELCOME HOME Extended to Rev. Dr. Hodges and Hli Wife Opening of tho Domestic Train luir hchool Wedded Amonc Flagrant Flowers A Missionary Bazaar. "Welcome home. Dr. Hodges," and "How do you do, Mrs. Hodges," were phrases repeated again and again in the library rooms ot the Calvary Episcopal Church last evening, and the welcoming words were accompanied by the warmest kind of handshakes as the congrega tion of the aristocratic East End church gathered around their pastor and bis charming wife, who returned to the city yesterday morn ing, Mrs. Hodges from a visit to P.urlington, la., and Dr. Hodges from a European tour. The reception given to the home-coming, though rather an impromptu one, lacked noth ing in point of elegance and beauty that would characterize a mnch more formal affair. Everyone appeared in handsome evening toilets and the dainty refreshments served wobld tempt an epicure. Bev. George Hodges looked exceedingly well and ex pressed himself as very happy to return to Pittsburgh Mrs. Hodges seemed wonderfully pleased tp be at home again to meet their many lrlends.

Baked tomatoes, apple sauce and flour dress ing, the ABC ol cooking, is what Miss Kate Edna Neglay, the new cooking teacher, in structed her pupils in yesterday afternoon at the opening session of the Pittsburg Domestic Training School. Everything was is apple pie order throughout the entire building for the classes that are to be held on the afternoons ot Wednesdays and Fridays and both mornings and afternoons of Saturdays during the winter. The cupboards were models of neatness, the ranges polished to the mirror degree ot brightness, and kitchen and cooking utensils of all kinds proclaimed an intimate acquaintance with bapolio as they beamed forth in shining rows from the walls. Miss Negley, in a neat and pretty costume, fluttered around, here and there, and everywhere, inspiring all with a very pronounced desire to become adepts in the culinary art, and Imparting to all some ot her enthusiasm as well as her knowledge. Tho kitchen garden will begin operations to day under the control of Miss Grayson, who, on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout-tbo winter, will prune and (rain the youthful house keepers in the way they should go and the way they should do. The kindergarten classes have been discontinued for this year, and the tiny chairs and tables that were wont to be used by the army of little folks have a lonely and de serted look. Miss Hambird with her knitting or fancy work still welcomes all visitors. TBAVELIKO MADE EASY. Young rittibnrg Indira Going Aronnd the World Without n Chaperon. At the homo of Miss Sarah Killikelly, on South Highland avenue, yesterday morning assembled about 80 prominent young society ladies of the East End to commence the winter course of study, tn a beautifully lighted, prettily ar ranged apartmont whose very atmos phere was suggestive of mental improve ment, they commenced their Eastern trip by going from Geneva to Brindisi, in Southeast Itily, and by steamer via the islands f Corfu and Gulf of Corinth to Athens. They will in their travels this winter include Constantinople. India, China, Japaa, Siberia, the Land of tho Midnight Sun, and will sail up the Danube and go through Europe. The travels are all to be very profusely illus trated by pictures from Soule, Miss Killikelly having but recently purchased an unusually large number of engravings and photographs. The Allegheny class meets next Tuesday in one of the parlors of the Hotel Schlosser, bnt their future lessons will be conducted at the Carnegie Library. Society favorites compose this class, as they do that of the East End, and the same course of study will be pursued by each. A great deal of enthusiasm is evinced among the favored ones In these cultured and talented classes, and many are the compli mentary remarks passed regarding the inter esting and charming manner in which Miss Killikelly Imparts the information with which she is conversant. . .IN HYMEN'S BOWEE. Marriage pf MIsa Anna III. Floyd to Sir Jnnies K. Lyoni. Amid the fragrance of lovely flowers and sur rounded by a large number of friends and relatives were the words spoken last evening at 0.30 o'clock that united Miss Anna M. Floyd and Mr. James K. Lyons, ot this city. The ceremony was performed in the handsome drawing rooms at the residence of the bride's parents on Wylie avenue by the Rev. J. L. McCrory, pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church, assisted by Bev. J. M. Jamison, of Yonngstown. The bride was attired in a robe nf pure white elaborately trimmed ith Valenciennes lace and roset pearl passamenterie and carried roses. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Floyd, and a very charming young ladv. The groom is connected with the Keystone Bridge Company, and is a gentleman of great worth. He is a graduate of the Western University in civil engineering. After a few weeks spent in the East the happy couple will reside in Oak mont where they will welcome their many friends. A MISSIONARY BAZAAB To be Given by the Younger Members of tbe Central It. P.

The brick sidewalk is a relio of tho past In the long but not so very long-ago, when the sleepy watch cried "12 o'clock, and all's well!' and boxed up water hydrants dotted the curbs the brick pavement was Pittsburg's pride. Twice and thrice a week the tidy house-wife attached the hose to the source of water sup ply and scrubbed and splashed and splashed and scrubbed until each brick reflected back the early morning sunshine. No misplaced bricks in those days no aching voids in the footwalks to jolt and jar the pedestrian. Bet ter still there were no loose ones beneath which water ran and mud formed miniature cata pults of moistened dirt, street squirt guns ever aimed at the feet and legs of the walking multitude. Every inch was scoured, every brick sounded, every displace ment attended to then. The brickwalk super seded the boardwalk it was a label of thrift progress and good breeding. How different now, The bricks are still with us. They come in all shapes, sizes, styles and conditions. Some be high, some be low, some be missing big gaps to skip, obstructions to stumble upon, sore spots an the edges of our thoroughfares. And the loose ones after a shower 1 How they do squirt muddy water up the trousers leg and soil tbe hoisery of all unfortunate enough to tread upon them 1 Hobnail and patent leather get it alike. The dainty hose of the belle and the coarsely spun stocking of the sturdy girl catch the dirty moisture mud and misery combined. If far from home this means a wet foot and a cold quinine, ginger tea, a sweat and a swear. Away with the water-holding, slime-squirting brick! This is the age ot stone, iron aGd smooth pathways. Chief Bige low is right If he displaces tbe brick he will deserve a monument of nronze. Deaf criminals always waive a hearing. The rich folk who get their sermons by tele phone in London, secure sound doctrine at all events. We have enough natural gas to wreck blast furnaces, gentlemen.

Thus do the idols of our fathers fall before their inquisitive children. Put away the mace and gavel, Pack with care the cold tea urn; No more kicking, no more travail Tariff's settled now adjourn.

At the annual meeting of the National Civil Service Reform League here General William Curtis said, among other things: "Under our Government reform can be accomplished only by party administration. Yet tbe chief obstruction is the fact that the evil Is common to both parties. Tbe old Demo cratic Plaquemine frauds in Louisiana were like the old Whig pipe-laying frauds in New York. The modern Republican "soap" and "fat frying." and the money raised for secret campaign funds of which no account is ever recorded, belong to tbe same system of cor ruption as the modem Democratic mule buy ings and money barrels, and Tammany sales of judicial nominations. "If a man may properly sell bis vote for (500 In the guise of a public office, or J50.000 in the form of a job, he may as properly sell'itfor $5 in casb. When a party practically promises a general sack of the public salary fund in the event of its success, it appeals to tbe most venal motives and invites votes not by faith In its purpose to advance the public welfare, but by hope of individual pecuniary gain. Civil service reform is not yet established for the same reason that slavery was not destroyed at once wben its enormity was perceived and ac knowledged. But every sign shows that like our brothers of tbe lost generation, we too are walkingtoward the light." THEATRICAL NEWS. Miss Effie Ellsler showed her versa tility yesterday afternoon by making a great deal of the best kind of fun out of a very trivial role in a new comedy entitled "Miss Manning." The comedy is the work of Mr. J. B. Bunnion, and a very amateurish, flimsy, nonsensical thing it is. Miss Ellsler plays the title role, a young woman who has been left a fortune upon condition that she marries with her uncle's consent before a cer tain day. It is a long time since Mls3 Ellsler has abstained, through a three-act play, from asking us to weep, and we bad forgotten what a charming little comedienne she is. A most unconscionable flirt whose heart nevertheless is in the right place, is Miss Man ning, and Miss Ellsler makes her simply irre sistible. Mr. Weston is a hay-fever victim, sneezed with painful realism, and he had liter ally nothing else to do. Mr. John A. Ellsler played an Innocuous old man acceptably, but not another actor could rise above mediocrity. And yet it must be admitted that Miss blister's charming personality and her natural turn of humor made "Miss Manning" very entertain ing most of the time. There is, too. a circum stance always to be counted in Miss Ellsler's favor, and that is her steadfast adherence to clean, wholesome plays. In these days when so many women on the stage are willing to exploit the vicions and the salicious for the sake of the almighty dollar, it is creditable to Miss Ellsler that she remains true to the high standards of virtue and propriety. When Emma Abbott was in Pails last sum mer studying under Mme. Viardot and Mine. La Grange, and committing two new operas, "Anne Boleyn" and "Masked Ball" and also tbe part of Ophelia in "Hamlet" she was at the same time quietly arranging with M.Audrain for an opera to be written for her especially, as the great composer had expressed a wish to write an opera exactly suited to her high so prano range. The result is that the opera is well nnaer way and next year Emma Abbott will bring it out in Europe and remain there until 1893L She will then bring ont the opera in America and sing nothing else that season. Meantime tho present season will be filled in this country, tbe tour extending to San Fran cisco, New Orleans and back to New York for a special engagement for all of which tbe pres ent Abbott organization was especially formed, the same that will appear at the Bijou next week, in old and new operas. Tbe special new features are "Bal Masque," Verdi, and the mad scene from "Hamlet," both on Friday night forming an attractive double bill. "Ernani" Tuesday and "Faust" Monday are also special features, though Emma Abbott will appear every night and at the Saturday matinee with tho entire company. The sale begins this morning. Tbe bill at the Grand Opera House next week will offer a variety in variety calculated to appeal to every taste in somo degree.
