NOTHING TO DO WITH 1T.

1t is one of the interesting points in con-
nection with legislative temperance reforms
that is presented by the fact that the parties
which enact them are generally called upon
to secure their repeal. The President of
the Kansas re-submission clubs has written
to Senator Quay, calling on him to use the
power of the National Republican Commit
tee to secure the re-submission of the prohibi-
tion enactment in Kansas to the vote OF the
people, and declaring that if it is not done the
Democrats will carry the State in 1892.
This tendency is in the same direction as
the acts of the Republican party in this State
with reference to local option, which was
enacted by Republican Legislature and
repealed by another On the plea of party
necessity. The same plea is largely respon-
sible for the fact that other stringent temper
ance measures whether of the prohibition or
high license stamp, have fallen into the
condition of dead letter desuetude. The
tendency may be regarded either as show
ing the futility of leg islation on temperance,
or the reliance of party machinery on the
liquor element. But which view may be
taken, it is clear that the National Commit
tee has nothing legislative to do with Kan
sas legislation.

FOREIGNERS AND THE FLAG.

The statement that party of American
Mechanics who had gone out to the village
of Mucklerat, to put up a national flag
donated by that order to the school there,
were driven away by mob of Hungarians
and Poles affords remarkable example of
the foreign and unassimilated condition of
some OF our recently imported denizens. 1t
is doubtful if the foreigners understood the
significance OF their act, or even knew what
the errand was on which their visitors came
among them. 1t was probably case OF
utter ignorance, alike of our language and
institutions, and OF jealous suspicion con-
cerning an act which they could not under
stand. That probability, as we'll as respect
due to good order, would forbid the carry
ing out of the mooted project for raising a
strong force to go out there and put the flag
up despite the foreigners. 1t is not force
that is needed in such a case, but enlighten-
ment. But the fact that whole communities
are scattered through this country, in need
of such enlightenment, should furnish
thoughtful Americans with food for refec-
ton,

A GREAT MIKAD0.
The Duff Comic Opera Company Score
Another Triumph.

ArOfncr
Gilbert and Sullivan's wonderfully tuneful
and laughable opera, THE Mikado,' was splen-
didly presented at the Grand Opera House last
night The same sumptuous setting was pro-
vided for this opera that "Pinafore" obtained
earlier in the week. Two delicious. soft and
delicately toned Japanese vistas took the place
of the cheap, Chinese lantern and umbrella
scenes usually provided for "The MlKado.
The second scene, showing bit of garden with
trees blooming. was an admirable piece OF color
and perspective, besides being true to what
painters have shown US of japanese landscapes.
The scenery was not bit too good for the
company As in "PInafore." the chorus sung
wonderfully well. The precision. clearness
aud even balance of the choral work were ad-
mirable. The chorus also showed the results
of very careful training. many novelties OF

FINLAND'S FATE.

1t is reported, though not with any great
authority, that the wretched Gar of Russia
contemplates giving his subjects in Finland
good cause to join the swelling forces of
those who hate him. The abolition of the
diet or landtag of Finland is imputed to the
Gar as the next step in a reactionary policy.
This would mean, OF course, that Finland,
which has hitherto enjoyed some show of a
Constitutional Government, is to be brought
under the iron heel of absolutism. 1t is an
event not unlikely to happen, SO blindly
fatuous are the advisers of the Gar, and so
slow and clumsy is the machinery by which
popular feeling is expressed.
1t has been Finland's misfortune to have
been always exposed to the bullets of rival
races. The pugnacious Firms who drove
out the aboriginal Lapps away back in the
early part of the eighth century were almost

SENSATION IN SOCIAL CIRCLES,

The NupIinls of Linn Gentleman TO q
Denver Lady Declared OF.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
LIMA March 27.-An immense sensation was
created in social circles here this evening by
the publication of a dispatch from Denver,
Col, announcing that the wedding which was
to have taken place there to-day between r.
Wilson Thuft, Jr., of this city, and Miss Maude
Clark, of Denver, had been declared OFF. Mr..
Thuft, the groom-exDectant, is the cashier of
the Merchants Bank and son of Dr. r. W.
Tnuft, one of our Oldest and weallhiest resi-
dent physicians, and went to Denver last week
expecting to return East with his bride in a
few days.
The lady is the daughter of a cattle raiser,
who is now dead. She is reported to be worth
81 600 900 in her own right, and has an income
been declared off is not yet definitely known.

DON'T WANT A FIGHT.
Railroad Men Will Fix Uniform Rate on
Coal TO the lakes.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
COLUMBUS. March N.-The meeting which
was to have been held at Cleveland Saturday to
further consider rates on coal from Ohio and
Pittsburg coal fields to lake ports has been post
poned to April 5, and the place of meeting will
in all probability be changed to Pittsburg.
E. 7. Affieck Division Freight Agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio, said to-day the question of
rates would very likely be settled. Both rep
resentatives of Ohio and Pittsburg railroads
are anxious to reach an agreement, as II rate
war would prove disastrous. During the sea-
SON of lake navigation of 1889 there were
about 2, SOC, 900 tons of coal shipped from Ohio
and fittsburg districts to lake ports, and it is
not likely the lake shipments will be less this
season. A reduction of 10 per cent in the
existing rates would cause net loss of $3.50, 600
to the railroads. II rate war should be in
augurated it is reasonable to expect that a
greater reduction in rates would be made than
this. Railroad men claim that the reduction
would not be less than 40 per cent which would
cause loss of 81, ZOO. 900 to the railroads.

NEW YORK, March N.-General A. T. Cos
horn. of Cincinnati, the Director General of the
Centennial Exhibition in 1876 was at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to-day and talked in a skeptical
way about the Worlds Fair being held in Chi
cago. He said: Chicago hasn't even raised
the money yet. She seems to proceed in a very
dilatory way and naturally her friends wonder
why the money is not forthcoming 1t will
take Chicago some five months to begin to get
ready. even if the money were in hand, and
without the money-well, it is necessary to have
it before any speculation is made.
II think Chicago will need all the time she
can get, and even then fear for the success of
the fair. You we have had too many

tors are not anxious. The Chicago Worlds
Fair will be an exhibit of American goods

IT is learned from Persia that the Shah
has granted to Russian fnanciers the railway
concessions of that country for the next five
years. This recalls the numerous instances in
which American and English financiers have
imagined the road to royal fortunes opened to
them by similar concessions, which the Shah has
the habit of granting to nearly everyone from
whom he gets little loan. But the difference
in this case is that Russia is likely to take and
hold onto whatever concessions are granted.
Persia is very handy to the Cars dominions.
