PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

THE brightness and freshness of the ever
green "Erminie," as the Aronson company
played it twice yesterday, are really remarka-
BILE. 1t was beautifully costumed and set of
course, and the company appear to great ad-
vantage in every part Miss Pauline Hall has
always been charming Erminie, and Miss
George DENIM is only unfortunate in having
so few opportunities. But James T. Powers
deserves unusual credit for the new touches Of
humor that he puts in the laughable character
of CGdeduI-he kept the audience laughing
from start to finish, being we'll aided by Mr..
Stevens as RdvsnReS, and Miss Eva Davenport
as Princess de Grdmponeur. "Erminie" is an
opera where the chorus can shine, and it did
yesterday in all the ensembles.
"HELD BY THE EEEMY," which is to be pre-
sented at the Bijou next week, has a reputa-
ton almost world wide. This is both because
Of its genuine merit and because 1t is the first
play written on the late war; wherein the con-
ficting interests between the North and South
have been ingeniously interviewer as not to
give offense to the sympathizers of either cause.
The play abounds in exciting situations and
genuine battle scene with gallOping horses; but
these are happily relieved by delicate touches

THE QUESTION OF RULES.

In bringing in rules which empower the
Speaker to refuse to entertain dilatory mo-
tions, and to count as present members who
are actually there and refuse to vote, the
Republicans of the House are taking the
proper course to make those legal and con-
trolling methods of action. If they succeed
in passing those rules the power of the
Speaker to do these things will rest on the
authority of the House, instead of upon his
personal authority.
But the question inevitably arises, by
what means will the rules be adopted? In
order to make these rules the law of pro-
cedur., will the Speaker be compelled to re-
fuse diIatory motions, and to count the
Democrats as present who refuse to answer
on roll call? In that case. the vote by whicS !
the rules are adopted will rest under the
general suspicion Of measures passed by such
methods. 1t tlooks as if the Republicans
will, in order to place the matter beyond dis
pute, be forced to use the same urgency in
having quorum of their own vote present
as on the contested election case.
In the meantime, as to the policy of placing
such power in the hands of the Speaker,
that is matter for discussion. The strong
est arguments against it will be found in the
speeches of James G. Blaine, James A.
Garfield and Thomas B. Reed.

FoRAKER's BAD CASE.

The testimony produced yesterday in con-
nection with that ballot-box forgery bust
ness, is, if substantiated, of course, exceed
ingly damaging to Governor Foraker. The
attitude In which that defeated candidate
stood, by his own statement, was bad
enough; but this evidence seeks to make
his case worse with the practical assertion
that he paid money for the production of
the forgeries, and held the matter as re-
serve of campaign ammunition for long
time.
But there are features about the testi-
mony which renders it no more than fair to
the under dog-which is perhaps the most
charitable term to describe Foraker's posi-
tion-to view this damaging testimony with
suspicion. In the first place all the evil
dence with regard to the payment of money
comes from people who, by their own show
ing, were engaged in producing forgery
and receiving money for it. Evidence from
such source is not quite enough to destroy
mans reputation when the selfconfessed
forger finds it wise to attack him. In the
next place the statement that Foraker spoke
last summer of document in his possession
which would damage the reputation of Sher-
man and Mckinley looks the other way. A
man would not be likely to give his enemies
notice of that sort, if he knew the document
to be bogus He might do so if he thought
it was genuine.
If this evidence is corroborated Foraker
will be overwhelmed with ignominy, and
will deserve it. But in view of the fact that
he is low enough already, it is not wise to
lend additional kicks to send him lower,
except upon the most convincing testimony.

NATURAL GAS ALL RIGHT.
MIR. mckinley Tells New Yorkers That Our
Fuel is Not Giving Out. n>>

Mr.. McGinIey Tells New Yorkers That Our
Fuel is Not Giving Out.
From the New York Star.i
John R. Mckinley, who has been one of
George Westinghouse's most active agents in
developing the natural gas industry of Penn
sylvania as secretary of the biggest natural gas
corporation in any field, sized up the question
of failure to me in this way:
Every day." he said to me in a conversation
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, " have people ask
ing if our gas isn't playing out Natural gas
is giving out just the same as coal and petro-
leum are giving out. Coal men dig all the coal
out OF mine and sell it. Then they open up
new mine, and keep up the supply from that
until in time that is exhausted. We do the
same thing in selling natural gas. We put
down wells and pipe the gas to market from a
held. In few years we may exhaust or par
TALLY exhaust our supply. That simply means
the tapping Of another gas reservoir in another
Held. 1t may be in another direction or it may
be further on. Undoubtedly, if enough gas is
used, in time the fields will be exhausted. and
the same thing must happen to the coal and
petroleum deposits, and for the present, at
least, the danger from one is about as great as
the danger from the other. Down in Pittsburg
we have gotten over gas famine scares when a
well stops or grows weak, but the Eastern
papers have an occasional spasm over the fail
ure of natural gas in Western Pennsylvania.
If anyone thinks there is failure let him visit
the manufacturing towns in the gas belt"

THE RIVER ROUTE.

The announcement that a considerable
amount of freight is being shipped by way
of the Ohio river to the Northwest, is on the
Nevertheless, it was made matter of pub
lication yesterday that some of the railroad
men of Pittsburg are worked up over the
fact that someone has the hardihood to take
the freight furnished by Pittsburg, by carry
ing it at cheaper rates than they do, and
that they propose to appeal to the Inter
State Commerce Commission to stop it by
disciplining the Western railroads which
carry the freight in connection with the
river.
This seems to indicate revival of the Oft
refuted railroad theory that the province of
the Interstate Commerce Commission is to
prevent the railroads from carrying freights
cheaply, and that the one treason which
railroads can commit is to participate in or
permit the transportation of freights BY
water. One theory is published that because
The railroad rate from Cincinnati to Chicago
is 121S cents, and the rail and water rate
from Pittsburg through Cincinnati to Chi
cago is Is cents, therefore there must be a
violation of the law. This ignores the long
standing railroad contention that through
rates must be more than the sum of the
locals. If the Western railroads connecting
with the steamboats, have been secretly cut
ting rates, they can be disciplined; but If
they have posted their through rates, the
Interstate Commerce Commission can M
more stop them from carrying Pittsburg
freight than it can regulate the procession
of the equinoxes.
This, of course, is for the public advan-
tage. The route that can and will carry
freight the cheapest, best proves its right to
existence. If our river could always be re-
lied upon, great share of Pittsburg's prod
ucts would go to the West and South by that
route, despite the efforts of the railroads.

THE DAY IN The SENATE.


Senator sherman Reports a Joint ResOIu-
rion of ConRrniuiatIOn to Brazil.
WASHINGTON, February 6-The Senate to-
day took up the bill to provide temporary
government for the territory of Oklahoma.
The Clerk commenced to read the bill, but had
not completed the reading, when, at o'clock
the bill to aid in the establishment and tenn
porary support of common schools was taken
up as the unfinished business, and Mr. Blair
proceeded to address the Senate in advocacy of
1t. After speaking q few minutes. Mr.. Blair
temporarily yielded the floor to Mr.. Sherman,
who, from the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions reported the following joiut resolution,
which was placed on the calendar.
Joint resolution congratulating the people
Of the United States of Brazil on their adop-
tion Of a Republican form of government.
Resolved, That the United States Of America
congratulates the people of Brazil on their just
and peaceful assumption OF the powers, duties
and responsibilities of selfgovernment, based
upon the free consent of the governed, and on
their recent adoption of Republican form OF
government"
This joint resolution is reported as a sub
stitute for that Mr.. Morgan introduced. It
om1ts words expressed in their repudiation of
monarchy rule" and also omlts several para
graphs declaring the recognition of the United
states OF Brazil as lawful and rightful govern
ment, and directing the President to require
the people and officers of the United States to
recognize the flag of United States of Brazil,
as the nag Of free, sovereign and independent
State.
Mr.. Blair then resumed his argument. He
declared that the constitutionality of the bill
was beyond question, and spoke some length in
support of his favorite measure.
AFTER an executive session Senate adjourned,

1T MAY BE SETTLED,

The statement is made that the eight-hour
question is not likely to produce strike in
the building operations of Pittsburg this
year. This opinion is based on the fact that
workmen on buildings are now only called
upon to work nine hours and the conserva-
tive leaders who represent the building
trades are not the kind of men to bring the
business to a standstill for the gain of the
extra hour. Besides, the element of Justice
may fairly be held to operate against making
Pittsburg the field for such a contest while
the workers of other cities are worked longer
and paid less than our builders, Beyond all
that, contractors and workingmen are alike
enjoying the benefit of a prosperous period
in building, which wise men are not likely
to disturb except upon the most dire compuI-
sion. We nope the eight-hour question
will be settled elsewhere.

DEATHS BIG HARVEST,

The mortuary returns for last week are
not pleasant reading. They show that 10t
deaths occurred, as compared with 75 for the
corresponding week last year. This is an
increase OF exactly 80 per cent Some al.
lowance must be made for the increase in
Pittsburg's population during the year, but
even then the increase in mortality is most
significant The details of the health bill
show that diseases of the lungs and respira.
tory organs were most generally fatal. Other
signs are not wanting TO convict the execra.
bic weather of the responsibility for the ex-
cessive harvest of death at this season.
In addition to the present perils of the
changeable, rainy and abnormally warm
weather, it is idle to overlook the danger
which its continuance will entail. The &C.
tion of prolonged frosts upon decaying veg
etable and other matter is one of the safe
guards that the Northern winter brings
with it. We have had little or no frost this
winter; the prospects of freezing weather are
extremely dubious now. When spring
comes to make its brief stay before summer,
there will have to be done vast deal of
cleaning and disinfecting in this city, or
the danger of an epidemic of deadly charac-
ter will be instant and formidable. 1t
would be delightful ii we could clean the
weather, but we must bear with its desper-
ate dirtiness patiently, and take all pre-
cautions possibly against the prevailing dis
eases,

THE MAYoRALTY CONTEST.

As was expected, the Democratic City
Convention last night put Hon. John Il.
Bailey in nomination for the Mayoralty.
For Treasurer and Controller, the conven-
tion indorsed Messrs. Denniston and Nor
row, the Republican nominees, whose
services with an eye single to the public
interests are rewarded not only by a contin-
uance of the honor and emoluments Of office,
but also with the fullest measure of conf
denee.
That Judge Bailey should, by the unani-
nous voice of his party, be made its nomi-
nee for Mayor is proof of the high esteem
in which he is held. But the nomination is
not likely to prove more than a compliment
Gourley, who was similarly favored by the
Republicans, is already showing himself
stronger man with the people than some OF
his opponents affected to anticipate. Hav-
ing the party majority at his back, and ex-
Aibiting, besides, large measure of per-
sonal strength and activity, the Republican
candidate has clearly the advantage In the
prospects, so far as up to the present dis
closed. Judge Bailey's chances are not
overly bright. But, whatever the result,
the nomination in itself is an honor.

cf demand and supply. We fear that the
hens have not been fully informed of the
emergency.
With the most obstinate gentle remon-
STRANGE and rational argument are usually
sufficient to convince. Have the hens been
reasoned with? If the need for
earlier sittings were quietly suggested
to the feathered matrons, if the opportuni-
ties for sitting in the chilly days of late
winter were made more attractive, and the
beauties of beating the incubator as a pro-
wider of early chickens were exhibited in
proper light, surely the hens would see
their way to sitting early and often. The
sympathies of the country are with the hens
as against the incubators. There is per-
nicious activity about the machine which is
unpleasantly suggestive. Give the hens
chance
