THE PEOPLE DEFIED.

Important Action OF the Republican Ma
Jorit.y in Congress.
The defiant attitude of the President
and the Republican majority in Con-
Eress in respect to the tariff and the force
bill constitutes one of the most remark
able exhibitions ever witnessed in any
country enjoying any form of consti-
tutional or popular government. At
the recent election both the measures
referred towereemphatically denounced
by the people; and the party response
BILE for them was beaten by an absolute
~ overwhelming majority. That the
result was due to popular disapproyal
OF these measures and condemnation of
the Republican party there is not the
smallest question. The issue was made
more clearly and distinctly than any
issue ever presented to the people in a
Congressional election. The Repub-
lican party went before the people and
demanded approval of it's action in
passing the tariff bill and attempting
to pass the force bill. It's leaders and
its organs put its claim to continuance
in power distinctly on its action in re-
spect to those measures. They were
met on their own ground. The oppose
ton asked for verdict against the
party on the precise ground for which
support was claimed. The verdict was
given. It was, as we have said, against
the Republican party and its course.
The leaders and the organs admit
that this is so. They admit that the
people condemned the Republican party
because of its McKinleyism and its
demand for the bayonet in cleo
tons They do this in charging that the
people were deceived, that they did not
understand the measure they de-
nounced. And as matter of fact they
make no attempt to deny that the PEG
pie repldiated them. Yet because,
under tae peculiar form of our Govern.
ment, hey still have few months OF
control in National affairs, the Repub.
lican leaders propose to defy the PEG.
pie, to disregard the verdict rendered,
and not only leave the Mckinley bill
In force, but to complete the measure OF
party iniquity by enacting the bill, the
mere threat to pass which was so severe
~ condemned by popular vote.
So impudent defiance of the popular

COTTON WEAVING.

A Combine to Keep Up Prices Notwithstant-
ing Cut in Wages and the Great Cotton
Crop-Profits of the Mills
A late number of the New York Dry
Goods Economist furnishes. all uncon-
sciously of course. curious illustration
of the folly and uselessness of a duty on
cotton cloth In q column of cotton
goods notes" it prints the following
item:
The cotton weavers In Lonsdale, r L, have
received a notice OF = cut-down- They were
getting s. cents on a fifty yard long cut, but
they are TO run a finer grade of goods with
five yards additional on the length, and VIII
receive but IS cents a cut The Valley Falls
and Ashton weavers' wages have been re-
duced about as much This Is reduction
OF more than one third in wages
In the same column the Economist
says: 'The largest crops of cotton the
world has ever grown are in sight; the
price is low and may grow lower. still
manufacturers are doing their best to
make water run uphill in their en-.
deavors to main tain the price CT cloth
at a given figure" This was said in
reference to the combine" of most OF
the Fall River and other weavers to
prevent sales of printing cloths, used to
make calico prints, at less than s sic
per yard-an agreem emit which has thus
far been kept Notwithstanding the fact
that raw cotton has declined in price

So much for one column. In the very
next column the Economist prints AM
article entitled. Fall River Divie
dends" The Fall River cotton mills
have Just held their annual meetings,
and the reports for the year were ha1d-
ed In. This article gives the moee
striking facts from those reports The
general net earnings of few Of these
mills are as follows:
The Flint mills earned s67, IT'S. or 1155<

were in each case considerably less
than the net earnings. the balance OF
the profits being added to the surplus.
or else put into improvements From a
Fall River paper it Is learned that the
dividends paid out by another mill
amounted to 10 per cent, by two others
to IA per cent each and by the Granite
mills to 10 per cent

The Air Ship and MckinIey.s Wall

A company has been formed at Mt.
Carmel. Ill, with capital of $40, o00, 600,
to be known as the Mt Carmel Aero
nautic Navigation Company. The COM
pany will operate air vessels to trans
port passengers and freight
The flying machines will fly high
enough to pass over the Mckinley Chi
nese wall; and the only thing left for
the high tariff crowd to do will be ID
carry out Henry Georges suggestion
that the country be rooted over.
With air ships dropping down from
the heavens all over the country, the
high tariff makers will be reduced to
despair. The dream of Tenpyson in
"Locksley Hall" will be realized; and
the fulfllment of the eloquent
prophecy of the poet Laureate
will bring with it great blessings to hui
manity. Every man who believes that
the locomotive is to be preferred to the
locomotive surpassed
If the air ship proves a success there
will be a great saving of freight and
consequently a great cheapening OF
goods If it be true, as Mckinley says,
that cheap" and nasty" 60 together.
Will not the high tariff maker be
thoroughly disguised with the universal
reign of cheapness brought about by
the air ship?
It is reported that this air ship COM
pany has already caused Mckinley and
Reed some alarm Let all wise law,
makers ask for an appropriation to put
q roof over the country.

They carefully carried the remains to
the wagon and covering it up with some
empty bags the melancholy little pro-
cession started for the town They had
not gone far when they were met by a
man on horseback. His appearance de-
noted that he was person of especial
Importance in the community. He was
tall but rather thin and had a very per-
ceptible stoop, although being on horse
back it was not easily noticed His
eyes were jet black and were covered
by heavy. bushy eyebrows; his beard
was carefully trimmed and his dress
rather too perfect for the locality.
While the expression on his face was
not repulsive, it was of kind which
would cause man to exercise extreme
care and caution in dealing with him.
A glance at his features was enough
| to make clear the fact that he was not
American born, although his dress and
| manners would not have indicated
| otherwise.
As the party with the WAGON drew
near to him he stopped his horse and

tell you that Anton Reyman has this

Potter and Kyrle Bellew advertised
their opening performance on an ad-
vance sale at a slight advance on
prices for seats, but did not show. They,
however, opened few days later at
prices of l 2, 3 and shillings, and had
fair-sized audiences for a couple of
weeks at the Princess theater, Mel
bourne. Australians, as rule, are very
much afraid OF Americans, and any
thing that happens that appears bit
shady they are not slow in calling a
Yankee trick"
The marriage of Mary Anderson to
Antonio de Navarro incites anecdotes
that illustrate her character. One has
not yet been told which concerns her in
that period of her professional career
when it was her delight to chew gum
and to stand in the wings of the theater
and do what she could to embarrass the
actors who were on the stage. Mary
was playing Juliet to the ''Romeo'
of man whom she valued as friend,
but whom she loved to worry. In the
last act of the drama, when Outlet" is
writhing over the body of "Romeo," be-
wailing his death, Mary, on an i'm
portant first night in certain city,
tickled the Romeo" in a way that
threatened to galvanize the corpse and
ruin the scene. In vain did the actor
| plead for mercy. He brought every
whispered argument to bear upon "Ju-
liet" to make her desist in her playful
ness, assuring her that in another instant
he would have to squeal, and so bring
ridicule upon them both. The actress
did not heed his prayers, however, and
continued to tickle him as she recited
the heart-rending lines of outlet"
Suddenly the actor changed his tactics,
and, under his breath, he uttered a
string of oaths. Juliet" stopped short
in her lamentations and trembled. Then
she went on, and Romeo" was saved.
After the performance it was very diff
cult for the actor to convince the infuri-
ated queen of tragedy that he was driven
to the heroic measure of swearing by
her own deviltry. She finally decided
she had fancied, but she declared that
the Oaths were unnecessarily violent.
Manager Wyatt.
Manager H. G. Wyatt, formerly OF the
Grand opera house, has decided to re-
main in the field in Los Angeles. He
has leased the Los Angeles theater and
will take possession of it on October 1st,
when grand opening will take place.
In the meantime the architect who re-
modelled the Grand opera house under
Mr.. Wyatt's direction will change about
the interior of the Los Angeles theater.
1t will be made comfortable and no ex
pense will be spared in making it the
equal of any place of amusement on the
coast. Manager Wyatt is booking plays
for the season and intends to open with
big attraction. He and Mr.. Conant
are still in the control of the southern
circuit, which gives them somewhat of
an advantage. The next theatrical
season here promises to be very lively.
