company, in Jim. the Penmar," at Har,
per's theatre next Saturday mig ut Is inter-
esiing for one very particular r.ason-the
present tour OF the play is erlphatically

final tour of this great play should be
made memorable and worthy of ii. the
company engaged for its prod uction is
specially strong one. Charles Rlegei will
play James Ralston." par in which
he has added much to his aheady good
reputation as fine actor. In his former
appearances here, he has alv avs earned
and received the strongest CON mendation.
Louise Ria. who plays Nina. '.Ralston's"
wife. has only undertaken that part this
year, and wherever the comp any has ap.
peared she has aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm. The "Baron Hsrtfeld," of
James L. Carhart, is study. Edwin
Iravers plays the drawing, drowsy,
clumsy Captain Redwood" md his work
IN this neat comedy part adds greatly to
the fine acting of the play. The other
characters in the play are ii competent
hands. Hardy Vernon plays Louis Per-
cival;' William Sheldon. Jack Ralston";

NO. l do not think President Holmes

Allerton last evening. He e TOO good

They are mostly brosd-gsugsd men and

Holmes has done in building up the south
side rail way system.
He has worked faithfully and steadily.
and has now the finest street car system
IN the world He Is progressive and
liberal man, aud while he may have made
some mistakes his general policy has been
wonderfully successful. A year ago /
told Mr.. Holmes that he was making .
mistake IN branching of into outside in
terests. and gained his promise TO cut
away from everything but our road. Since
that time be has severed -his connection
with as many outside concerns as pos
siole. snd feel sure the man was doing
hir best &c close up all his outside deals.
l told him we could afford 10 pay him
x2o.u00 year il necessary. but that we
wanted ell his time.
Mr.. Latter is the heaviest stock hold
er IN the read. and l have long wanted
him TO be director. I wish he would
take my place, l am sure. / have worked
Tor the company good many years and
an getting tired of it. OF course can't
speak for the Others, but for ono will
stand by Mr.. Holmes to the last. u. K.
Pearsons will do the same. | rather
think all this excitement will cool down
before the decisive meeting in January is
held. and that then you will see Mr..
Holmes reelected No counter steps are
taken to prevent his being deposed,
simply because l don't think it worth
while. Chicago DaRy Meas.
The Chicago Ersning Post prints an
interesting interview with Mr.. Holmes in
which be says the company is in no way
embarrassed or troubled financially ard
that furthermore he has no intention of
resigning the presidency OF the South
side company in Chicago. In short Mr..
Holmes says that all this fuss and dissstls-
faction is confined 10 few people who
studiously avoid telling him of his faults,
but force on him the information they
have and the soreness they feel through
the newspapers. He is very quiet. very
calm, very diguifed, and hopes to see tie
attacks made on him disappear when they
have ripened to the point where they
must either be justified or abandoned.
D. Il. Louderback has acquired an inter-
est IN the Holmes syndicate and has been
elected managing director, and assumed
the direct charge of the affairs of the
tri-city company.

The wires bring the news Of alledged
dissensions among the Knights of
Labor. The dispatches state that great
dissatisfaction exists with the manner
in which the New York Central strike
is being handled. 1t is further re-
ported that laboring men in consider
able number are leaving the ranks of
the knights and connecting themselves
with the National Federation of Labor.
1t would seem to the lay mind as If old
Ben Franklin's advice was good in this
connection. He said: "Gentlemen,
we must all hang together or we shall
all hang singly." The laboring men of
the United States acting in concert
form a power to which no corporation
or collection of corporations can dictate.
Once devided, their strength is gone.
The growing power of corporations is
far less ominous to wage earners than is
dissension in their own ranks

against the United States government

Wishing that the government had

had not allowed them to go into

Mrs. NJ. b. Woodwork, whose pre-
dictions of tidal wave that would en-
gulf the cities Of San Francisco and
Oakland, sent hundreds of the people
of these cities to the Berkeley hills on
the day before that designated as the
date of disaster, has been holding forth
for some weeks in st. Louis to multi
tude of people, many Of whom have
become entranced through her minis
trations, and behaved in a way that in
early colonial days would have con-
demned them to the witches fate. So
long as these subjects of emotional
folly were confined to the ignorant and
lowly, little notice was taken of it, ex-
cept to ridicule the proceedings, but
the woman's power has increased until
many reputable and even prominent
people have fallen under her "spell,"
and scientific men have taken the
matter in hand and are endeavoring to
reason, as Is the wont of intelligence,
from effect to cause and vice versa.
Thus far they have accomplished little
in the way of explanation of the mys-
FERROUS power Of the woman over the
minds and bodies of her dupes. In
their perplexity two prominent ply
sicians have petitioned the mayor to
stop her proceedings, denominating
her strange power hypnotism, and
pronouncing her "sincere, but insane.r
The world of intelligence looks on as
founded at power which ridicule can
not daunt nor science explain, except
by the use of terms that make nothing
clear, and cease to wonder that in
less enlightened age the command
"from the witch" was obeyed in the
name of Christianity. The confine-
ment of Mrs. Woodwork in an asylum
where she might receive such care as is
accorded by kindness, seclusion, abso-
lutte quiet and rest, with such specific
treatment as the highly excitable state
OF her nerves requires would probably
meet the difficulty in her case and
solve the question of her mysterious"
power. The protection Of weak, ner-
vous, excitable creatures, who abound
to greater or less degree in every
community in this high pressure age
seems to warrant this course, as the
mischief that such person il capable
of doing to class of minds that she
can mold Is undeniably great, and the
increase, through her influence ofluna-
tics OF her type, is certainly most I'M
desirable. 1

The reciprocity ideas and utterances
Of Mr.. Blaine are awakening an interest
in Canada only second to that aroused
in this country, and the question of
protection or reciprocity between that
country and this are to be fought out
at an early day. The liberal party in
Canada represents ideas of the broad
est reciprocity-in fact almost policy
of free trade. The conservative party
represents the extreme principles of
protection, which have been the
adopted policy of Canada for the past
twelve years. Now that Mr.. Blaine's
long-cherished ideas of practical
commercial union with the Latin
American nations have taken form,
the liberal party in Canada has shown
an astonishing degree of activity, and
hopes to succeed in removing the bar
riers obstructing free exchange of
commodities. But it Is by no means
certain that Mr.. Blaine's argument for
closer relations with South American
nations would apply to our northern
neighbors. Blaine's idea of profitable
relations with South America grows
out of the fact that those countries
supply what we consume but cannot
produce, and will buy what we have to
sell. In other words, that by reciproc-
ity the American farmer would secure
a market for his products, and that the
nation would be the more nearly able
to equalize the balance of trade, which
has been running strongly against the
United States, and in favor of the
Latin-America. These arguments cam
not be made to apply to Canada. That
country is an agricultural country; its
products are similar to our own. Cam
ada wants to extend its market and
find sale for its grain, and its lumber.
Precisely what Mr.. Blaine wishes on
more comprehensive plan, to be able
to secure for the United States. The
limited variety of products of Canada,
the similarity of climate and its i'm
mense agricultural resources prevent
the possibility of any such basis for re-
ciprocity as awaits this country on the
south. There is no doubt that Canada
would be very greatly benefited by
reciprocity with America, but it is also
true that this country would be loser
by Just that much.

! Congress has lately passed the eight
hour law, constituting eight hours a
days labor in all work for the govern.
ment and under governmental control,
and afixing penalty for any violation
Of the same. It seems that at last the
claims Of the laborer are being recog.
nised. Gradually he has been eman-
cipated from drudgery and the gulf be-
tween him aud the appropriation OF
natures blessings has been abridged.
After much agitation and comment
it has now become one Of the foremost
questions of the day whether or not
whether any man should be required
to labor more than. one-third of his
time to gain livelihood. BY careful
estimates 1t has been ascertained that
ifall who have to be housed and fed
and who are physically able to labor,
were to exert themselves eight hours a
day the product of their industry
would supply the needs fall. Fate
and fortune have placed many in a
position where such labor is not neces-
ssry or desirable, and experience and
equity have decided that 1t is an in
justice that those who do labor should
be compelled to toll to that extent that
they shall be deprived Of their fair
share of the enjoyments of their labor.

The great growth Of Texas in the
last decade Is one of the surprises of the
census, but it is questionable II that
state has not drawn it's new blood from
the older south, rather than from the
north. The Denver Republican pre-
diets that in the next decade there
will, undoubtedly, be noticeable drift
of population toward the mountain
states and territories. The greater
part of the valuable land susceptible of
cultivatio without irrigation has been
taken up under the United States land
laws. Home-seekers must look for
land either in localities where the rain
fall Is uncertain in amount, or in
regions farther west, where agriculture
depends upon irrigation. Many of
them will come to the arid region. So
much attention has been called of late
to the subject of irrigation, the Repub-
lican says, that the whole country is
becoming more or less instructed in
regard to the possibility Of pursuing
agriculture by this means. Before the
close of this century great many
valleys In the Rocky Mountains which
are now barred will be reclaimed
through the construction Of irrigation
reservoirs and bitches. EmiRrants
from the east will seek homes In these
valleys, and so the Rocky Mountain
country will be settled up. In the
aggregate, there is enough land sus-
ceptible Of irrigation In the arid region
to support population very nearly as
great as the entire agricultural popula-
ton Of the United States at the present
time.
