THE PROGRAMME.

POLITICAL RIDERS TO BE RETAINED.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Two committees
appointed last week by the Democratic CAUCUS
of the House and Senate, held another Joint
meeting this afternoon and reached final
agreement concerning both the general nature
and precise form of their recommendations for
political legislation during the present session.
They will recommend that the repeal of the
law authorizing the presence of troops at the
polls be effected by Incorporating in the army
appropriation bill a copy of the clause agreed
to by the House OF Representatives last session,
that the jurors test oath be likewise simply
abolished by insertion of the repeating clause
IN the Legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill, and that the provisions then
incorporated by the House in the same bill
amendato1y OF the law in regard to the mode
OF lmpanelling jurors be substantially readopt-
ed by the dominant party this session. In ad-
dltlon to the two last named clauses there will
be recommended for Incorporation into the
legislative, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill, Immediately following the appropria-
ton for expenses of courts, series of clauses,
the effect of which, if enacted, will be to re-
peal existing authority for the appointment of
chief supervisors and deputy marshals for cleo
tions, and to restrict the power of the two SUI
pervisors of different politics whose appoint
ment in the present manner will continue to

HoAR'S BUNCoMBE.
The resolution of Senator Hoar was taken nm
declaring unconstitutional and revolutionary
the Democratic programme of legislation an
nounced by Senator Beck at the close of the
late Congress. Senator Hoar spoke at Length.
deprecating in emphatic tones the course of
legislation thus pretigured and saying that the
dominant power sought to effect by simple
process what could be done only by change
of the constitution of the United States, alter
terlng the present relations of three depart
ments of the government.
Senator Beck criticised Hoars speech as an
endeavor to induce the President to veto what,
If passed, would be a constitutional law. He
alleged that this matter has been thrown for
ward by the Republicans. simply to fortify the
PRESIDENTS courage and help him carry out the
indecent threat that he would veto legislation
that had not yet come to him. In the absence
OF the gentleman having this whole matter in

tion O the table.

Business Interests of the State Arraying
Themselves Against the New Constitu-
ton.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-The usual diver
slty of theories exists as to the cause of the
present break in stocks, but the weight of
opinion attributes it to the uncertain state of
feeling prevalent in banking and other bust
ness circles occasioned by the approaching cleo
ton on the question of the adoption of the new
constitution. The proposed document meets
with no favor in financial circles, and the gen.
era! opinion there seems to be that it's adoption
will cause grave business depression. Another
theory asserted by many attributes the panic
to combination, the object of which is to af-
feet public opinion on the election. The work.
ingmen have adopted the new constitution, a
party measure, and are urging it strong, and it
probably meets with considerable favor in some
portions of the State among the farmers, but
the business classes are arraying themselves
against it with even greater vigor,

The Liquor Bell-Punch in Connectie ut.

u
HARTFORD, Conn, March 20.-The House to-
day passed the bill requiring bell-punches to
be used by the barlzeepers of the State. 1t pro-
vides tax Of two and one-balf cents on each
glass of liquor and one-hal cent on each glass
of beer. In the progress Of the debate it was
said that the estimated revenue would be Sl16,-
600, taking as basis approximate total receipts
daily from liquor sales of $l3,75O, and from
beer Of $272O. But the figuring was on per-
centage on gross sales and not on each glass;
and was manifestly incorrect, though it was
not discovered. If the estimate of receipts is
correct, the tax sales by the glass, assuming
liquor to average 10 cents glass and beer five
cents, would amount yearly to $1,072, 444 from
liquor and $1l4.8SO from beer, the tax actually
being rs per cent. on gross sales of liquor and
10 per cent. on beer. The bill provides that the
punch to be adopted shall be selected by a
commission to be appointed by the Governor.
The Senate will take action tomorrow.

A MODERNIZED FAUST

W. S. Gilbert Introduces the Devil as a
Fine Gentleman.
London Correspondence to New York Times.
Mr.. Gilbert, author of III. NJ. S. Pinafore, .
has literally turned Goethe's sublime trag-
edy inside out. He discards the usual open
ing scene, with Faust as an old man, the in
cantation, the vision of Marguerite and the
transformation of the philosopher into the
ardent and youthful lover.
The new Faust is a young man to begin
with, a priest who, having seen the new
Marguerite reading book, is smitten with
her and longs to throw off the bonds of the
church. He invokes the aid of God or devil
to relieve him and the devil appears. Not the
Mephistopheles of our former plays; not the
Goethe's devil, but his satanic majesty as q
private gentleman. The gentleman devil
makes legal bargain with the lover and then
introduces him to Marguerite. She has al
clared himself. He is a vilIager and SOL
der and the friend of the new Faust, whom
he leaves in charge of the heroine.
The soldier goes to the wars and confesses
his love to Faust, asking him to watch over
Gretchen, the new Marguerite, who parts
with him with sisterly affection. Now
while the soldier lover is away, his friend
encompasses the ruin of Gretchen, and when
the warrior returns-a captain-he draws
his sword, breaks the scabbard and swears
never to sheath it again except in the body
of her betrayer. He meets him at the death
bed of Gretchen, and, to his dismay, finds in
him his friend Faust, who, in a fit of re-
morse, bares his breast and invites the war.
rior to strike. The sword is raised, the arm
is about to strike, when Gretchen suddenly
rises from her couch and stands between
them. Through my heart, his,' says the
dying woman, and thus, instead of murder
is brought about reconciliation of the
two men. Being priest, Faust cannot
marry.
Gretchen dies, and Faust resolves to re
turn to the church and atone for his sins
On his way thither he is accosted by th,
devil, who reminds him of his bond. Faus
retreats to the porch, denouncing Mephis
topheles in very choice blank verse. Hi
majesty follows Faust to seize him, ant
he is obliged to retreat "It is always so,'
he says, "they want money, call on me; wan

THAT MYSTERY.
A Historical Narrative Which Explains
Who the Late Arrival in st. Paul Is.

A Historical Narrative Which Explains
Who the Late Arrival in st. Paul Is.
The mystery at the American house,
lated in Yesterdays GLOBE, received solu-
ton later in the day. There was cipher
enough about the story in the first instance,
to need key, and that having been furnish
ed, the whole matter is unlocked as follows:
To begin at the beginning, or as far enough
back for the purposes of the narrative,
three years ago three girls,
sisters, resided in River Falls, Wis.
They were known as the Strong sisters.
They were engaged in the millinery business
and were reputable, attractive young ladies.
They had beaux in plenty, and as appropri-
ate, the eldest went off first. She married,
and the single sisters continued the bust
ness. Somehow, tho married sister in her
new sphere was as fond of admiration as
formerly. Having the experience begotten
of welded life, she did the agreeable beyond
the power of her sisters. At least
so th-th-thought travelling gent of St.
Paul, who met her frequently in the village
society, when he journeyed thither, and got
there very of-of-of-ten. So much so that
the husband took the same notion into his
head. Result, family infelicity and connu-
bal disruption. The married sister went
back to the girls, bloomed awhile as
grass-widow, and then married DR.. Allen.
But not to anticipate, the st. Paul man was
devotion personifed for while after the
separation of wife and husband: Also the
Strong girls packed up anu went over to
Saltwater, there to begin anew in the dress
making business. It was here DR.. Allen
was captured, after the ST. Paul
man had relinquished the ripe
charms of the grass widow for
the budding promise Of the second sister,
Lizzie. To make all things serene and
lovely the youngest sister, Lydia, also took
unto herself an admirer. This youngest
sister is the girl who on Sunday became a
mother at the American house, and was
visited by MIR. Ferguson, of Still
water, in the double capacity
of husband and big brother. To
make these family chronicles connect, it may
be stated that DR.. Allen and wife removed
to Taylors Falls not long ago, and from
there to St. Peter. The sister, Lydia, was
on her way to Saltwater from visit to her
sister Mrs. Allen, when she found it neces-
sary to take hack Saturday afternoon, at
the st. Paul depot, and seek accommodations
in this city. That she did find these accom-
mQdations yesterdays story states, in an at
tentive physician, good NURSE a kindly old
lady to adopt the baby and big brother to
defray the expenses. And this solves the
mystery.
