wright. He has certainly produced
IN this piece a contradiction OF
weakness and strength. Structurally
considered, every play should be strong
in all its parts. That is, it ought to have
consistent strength. 1t might be weak
at the beginning, as growing-up to
strength always is; but, technically
speaking, play ought to be strong even
in its weakness; that is, strong to nature.
A child in one sense is weak but dramati-
cally true representation OF the actuali-
ties OF child-life would be considered
strong. We have said this much to
illustrate our idea that Mr.. Buchanan, as
playwright, may have strength or
weakness. The drama of which we
treat is the epitome of our mean
ing. The ground plot of the play
shows that its author is feeble in that
essential part sof dramatic power of lay
Ing strong foundation for the edifice he
is rearing. He builds his structure On a
quicksand, and, unfortunately for the
structure itself, its walls and baItlements
and towers are as heavy and strong
above as they are weak at the base.
1t is not necessary to say to an
intelligent audience that the weakness of
a woman like "Borgfeldt's" wife is not
found in real life. She might succumb
to the wiles OF designing man, or fall
before the deceptions of a false friend:

was not applicable to the present state
Of the case, therefore, SO far as he was
concerned, the resolution was laid on the

Mitchell proceeded to address the Sen
ate on the motion to refer the Presidents
annual message. He characterized the
tariff bill passed by the House as in the
interest of the importer and against the
interest of the laborer, and which had
received the enthusiastic approval of the
free traders at home and abroad, and
said that on the other hand the Senate
would be heard from beginning to end as
to the American doctrine of protection to
American labor and American industry

yielded the floor for motion to proceed

WASHINGTON, September 20.-The
Tariff Subcommittee of the Senate will

Chester Seeber, of San Francisco, for
merly United States Commissioner for
Alaska and Ounalaska, has sent to the
Chairman of the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries, which
is investigating the seal fisheries in
Alaska, letter, "not for the purpose"
he says, "of pointing out any infringe
ments on the part OF the Alaska CONNER
cial Company of its contract with the Gov
ernment, but for the purpose of showing
that the company uses the power which
that contract gives to it, to monopulize
the whole trade of Western Alaska, op.
press the inhabitants and to retard the
development Of the country" He cites
numerous instances in proof of his
charges. Mr.. Mcintyre, Superintendent
OF the Alaska Company, denies the as
sertions of Seeber.

Another Burchard Come to Blum

Mr. Chauncey Mitchell Depew has re.
turned home from his trip to Europe.
On his landing he was received by a
large number of New Workers, who de-
light to do honor to success, merited or
not. Be it said there is good deal OF
merit in Mr.. Depew, despite the fact that
he married into the Vanderbilt family.
Among his greatest merits, stands his
ability to make neat speech. He is
reputed to know better the right time to
say the right thing in the right way than
any other man in America. At his re-
ception the talking talent was duly util
lied. Here is part OF Mr.. Depew's post
prandial sayings:

tariff reduction such as was proposed
by the Democrats would be a bad thing
for the English manufacturers, for j,
would enable the Americans to compete
with them in the markets of the world
while under the present system the
Englishman has everything his OWL
way. His opinion was, that with free
raw materials American manufacturers
would become formidable competitors te
the detriment of Engli>a manufacturers
The Republican managers have made
jealous efforts to have Depew to retrac

their cause, but their attempts are un

nOmics.

General Harrison in his letter says: II
is the direction, not the length, of the
step towards free trade which is signif-
cant. In the same letter Mr.. Harrison
yields all the President or the Democrat
ic party claims the necessity of reform
ing the tariff shedule. In the same
letter General Harrison says it is not
likely that in getting rid of the surplus
we will have to resort to the policy OF
making the price of whisky twenty-five
cents a gallon. Mr.. Harrison in these
expressions is fishing for votes, and is
not particular where they come from nor
with what bait they are caught.
His first attempted epigram, if it means
anything. means that there never can be
under any circumstances any reduction
of any tariff schedule once established,
for any such reduction is a step long or
short, as the case may be, leading in the
direction of the abolition of all taxes.
Many of us many times a day take a
step towards the North Pole, but none of
us seem to be afraid of being frozen to
death by getting to the Arctic Ocean.

reducing the tariff must newt

any step in the opposite direction must
as inevitably lead straight to universal
protection to the degree OF absolute ex-
clusion. Although we are persuaded
that the Democratic position of tariff fol
revenue so levied as to afford incidental
protection to American industries in the
days of their incipient competition with
foreign imports, is the only logical as
we'll as the only practical way OF dealing
with this question, yet, as between
free trade and Chinese wall, We think
the former rather the best.

RIOTING IEIsH DRAGONS,

Government Cruiser Ordered to
Clear for Costa Rfca.

New YORK, September 2O.-Some sur.
prise was manifested at the Navy YARD
yesterday, on receipt by the commander
of the cruiser Boston, of orders for the
vessel to be ready for sea within ten
days. 1t is said that the destination is
the coast OF Central America
This is looked upon as signifi cant
coming as it does simultaneously with
the appearance of the Secretary of the
Treasury's order in regard to discrimina-
tions made against United States vessels
by the government of Costa Rica. This
order commands all the officers of the
customs to see to it that all the cargoes
OF Costa Rican vessels, entering United
States ports be subjected to discrimination
duties, levied by the act OF March 8, 1888,
in view of Costa Rica's allowing all ves-
sells other than those of the United States
trading between Costa Rica and United
States ports, a rebate of 5 per cent. of
the customs dues and certain privileges
as to port charges.

The President and the Pensions.

Next to the cry of free trade sounds
that of pension vetoes among the great
and intellectual discussions being carried
on by the Republican party. Commits
sioner Blacks annual report is before
the country, and we are able to see just
how big the lie is which has been so
often told about Mr.. Cleveland's hostility
to the old soldiers. There We're added
to the pension rolls of the country last
year 60,252 names. This is by far the
largest number added to the list in any
one year since the war closed. Then the
President has vetoed, all told, 19l
special pension acts. Each act, ol
course, contains the name of one
applicant. He has signed 1859 such
acts. This is most notorious hostility
Is it not? In the case of the bills vetoed
a large majority of these self-same
claims had been rejected prior to the
date of Mr.. Cleveland's taking office in
March, 1885. There are at present
459,577 pensioners on the roll, who re-
ceived last year $7S,775, 1862, an excess
over the amount paid the preceding year
of $5,30S,220 The total expenditure OF
the Federal Government last year was
$2S9. 1882, lS0. The pensions paid during
the year, together with the cost of their
disbursement, aggregated $S2,O3S, ,3S9.
Thus it will be seen that not less than 81
per cent. of the entire outlay OF the Gov
ernment in 1887 was for pensions. The
Republicans have undertaken the diff
cult task OF setting up the claim, in the face
of these figures, that the Union veterans
are neglected and ill-treated by the pres
ent Administration. But the undertak-
ing will not be carried through.

Our clipper evening contemporary, for
instance, offers its unasked advice to
Col. Brice as to what he should do in the
interest of our success. 1t is needless to
say that the advice is practical and
timely, and that Col. Brice will doubtless
avail himself of it. But, Lord bless you,
sonny, we can get along without an ef-
fort of your wonderful brains in our be-
half. If you must exercise them. how
ever, we would advise you to give your
ponderous advice to your own party.
For instance, you might tell Blaine to

Trusts as private concerns with which the

hind, that would induce any Injustice to
a colleague for home consumption.
Continuing he said the smirching of
the officers of the House and question
ing the motives of men on such state
of affairs, as was shown by the gentle
man from California, was an unheard-of
proceeding. He would withhold any
temptation he might feel to characterize
the motive.
Payson said: This bill is DELAYED be-
cause the President wants more than the
constitutional ten days. This is a part
of the same performance begun by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Scott).
who attempted in demagogical way to
make some capital for himself and his
party. Everybody understands it, and
let the country understand it.
The Speaker in vain endeavored to rap
Payson TO order, but finally managed to
say: "The gentleman is out OF order"
81 ask the pardon of the House." said
Payson.
Mr.. McKenna again secured the floor
and continued his argument. He dis
claimed any intention to reflect upon
anyone, but when it was stated in the
press that the bill was being withheld.
he thought that the House had right to
take notice of it. ''ln fairness to the
chairman of the Committee on Enrolled
Bills" said he, 81 would state that Nor
row himself went to Kilgore this morn
ing and told him that the Edmunds reso-
luton had been tabled, and Morrow ask
ed him about transmitting the bill to the
President. Kilgore said he would do his
duty in that regard. That might or
might not be an evasive answer. Lest it
might be an evasive answer the resolu
tion had been offered"
After further debate the speaker pro-
tenn, sustained the point of order. There
was no law or rule prescribing the man
ner in which bill should be transmitted
to the President, but the practice had
grown up of estrusting the duty to the
Committee on Enrolled bills. One day q
delay was not unusual. The average
time it took for bill to reach the Presi-
dent after having been signed by the pre-
siding officers OF the two Houses, was
three days. While sustaining the point
of order, he was not prepared to say that
if the resolution was again brought up in
a few days, he would rule that it was not
Y privileged. So the resolution was not re.
ceived and the House adjourned.
