THE VOLUNTEER"
A New War Drama to be Seen At AL
baugh's Next Week.

baugh's Next Week.
The new military drama entitled t'The Vol
unter' will be Produced tomorrow evening
at Albaughs. The play is said to be very
strong and entirely original. 1t unfolds
tale of the late war with all It's horrors and ac-
cessories, and portrays some OF the most fa-
nous battles that characterized the struggle
Realism and truth will be the features OF the
production, and the author Major George I.
Ulmer, has left moth ing undone in coupling
his actual experiences with his literary ability.
1t may appear strange to introduce us to the
hero of a military drama clothed in Con-
federate uniform, but such is the case this
time. The story is built around the differences
of two step-brothers, who served their careers
in the Union and rebel causes respectively
The complications arising therefrom are of
the most natural and simple character, and
become intensely interesting as the play pro-
crosses. Romance is webbed around the story
in a most artistic fashion, while that awful
truth of war is still held out as reason for the
plot. The company is said to be very strong
and will be headed by the author of the play.

a charming widowed sister, with whom
O'Brien is In love. This man, Lorrilldrd Lemon,
is not entirely devoid Of principle and O'Briea
forms an alliance with him whereby every
thing is arranged and the real Williams of the
story, Jason Fleece and Baron Von Stein

ries Mrs. Van Buren (LenoI's sister), and his
right hand man, Frank Roberts, marries Mrs.
Sully portrays the true-hearted, noble Irish
man, a man possessed OF very little education,
but with all the requirements of true gentle
man. The impersonation is humorous, freely,
and broadly drawn In its humanity and above
all is absolutely faithful to the individual. He
is close observer Of the humble life he por-
trays, and has the power OF depicting its
humorous as well as It's pathetic side.

NATURAL GAS"
Donnelly and Girard's Sparkling Farce
Comedy at the National.


Comedy at the National.
One of the most important theatrical at
fractions which is booked to appear in this
city this season is Donnelly and Girard's
"Natural Gas" Company, which will appear
at the New National Theatre this week and
which comes with the prestige of several long
engagements in New York Messrs Donnelly
and Girard always carry with them the same
scenery, properties, costumes and effects that
they use in the metropolis, and they are sup
ported on the road by the people who have
helped them to success In New York. The
performance of the bright and sparkling farce
comedy given here will be duplicate In every
respect Of the New York production. The
following is the company: Mr.. Henry V.
Donnelly, Mr.. Edward Girard, MIR. George
Murphy, Mr. Pete Mack. Mr. w. Wallace
Black, Mr. Sagar Midgley, Mr.. Edwin
Lawrence, Miss May Howard, Miss Kitty
Kursale, Miss Jessie Gardner, Miss Kate b.
Allen, Miss Fannie Burt, Miss Julia Lee Miss
Clara ST. Maur, Miss Annie Mack Berlein.
Lithographes of the theatrical sort are not al
ways to be depended Hpon. Frequently they
mispresent the people they are Intended to
picture, but the Misrepresentation is usually
in the way of flattery. One must wait until
Natural Gas' arrives to discover whether the
pretty girls in the company are really as pretty
on the stage as they are represented to be on
paper.

ITS LESSON.

To those ii, $50 voters who yesterday
performed their duties as citizens the
NEWS has only words of encouragement
and congratulation, but to those 1850
who chose TO disregard not only their
own rights, but to neglect their duties
TO others, no words are necessary. The
results of their negligence, made plain
to-day, should be a lesson more
severe than can be conveyed in
words. 1t must, indeed, be an agree
able thought to the stay-at-home
contingent that by their negligence
an important and costly election has
been turned into mock show. 1t must
likewise be g cause for congratulation on
the part of those gentlemen that their
estimation of the privileges of citizen
shipis so low as TO be the cause Of the
mastery inactivity which they main
tanned.
Such open condemnation would not be
necessary were it possible that the pen
alties of their inaction could be visited
upon themselves alone, but such is not
the case. The effects are shared alike
by all. The taxpayer has no means of
escape from the burdens entsiled, and
no means of redress. The costly process
must be repeated until at last force of
circumstances wrests all citizens from
their apathy.
An appeal to the pocketbook may
avail when appeals to civic devotion
have proved Intellectual, and on a second
trial it is to be hoped that the pecuniary
conscience of the laggards may be
aroused to such pitch of activity that
they will become acutely interested i'll

REASON FOR THANKSGIVING.

The whirlwind which swept through
Washington and Baltimore on Monday
caused the loss of one life, unroofed a
number of buildings, demolished the
walls of new music hall knocked over
section of the stone ballastrade on the
top of the White House, and did some
other inconsiderable damage. Over
this the people of the nation became ex-
cited.
Yet if the United States was COM
PEELED TO hear some Of the ills that are
agitating other countries the whirlwind
would have been passed over as some
thing not out of the common. Russia is
threatened with bread famine and
Austria may be compelled to go to war
to protect the Eastern frontier at any
time. Pauperism and crime are ram
pant in Italy. A strike of 10000 miners
made desperate by hunger concerns the
people of France. Depression in trade
is reported from Great Britain. The
workingmen of Belgium threaten an
uprising unless they are granted the
right of suffrage. Chile has just gone
through civil war that caused the loss
of many lives and the expenditure of
much treasure. Brazil is in state of
instruction. Yellow fever is epidemic
in some of the Argentine ports. The
natives of China are ready to rise and
to slaughter foreigners. Japan has
suffered from an earthquake that has
caused loss of life estimated at between
5000 and 5000, and the razing to the
ground of 10000 buildings.
In the United States we are at peace
with the world and with ourselves. We
are prospering in business, the crops
were never heavier, the mills in all
branches of industries are buzzing, our
exports greatly exceed our imports. and
gold is flowing steadily into the country.
Surely there are reasons for us all to
give sincere thanks before we sit down
TO our turkey dinners tomorrow.

favoring circumstances the vote was
light almost beyond precedent. Republi-
cans who should have had the interests
Of the city and the interests of good gov
ernment at heart did not perform the
duty, which should have been also the

to stand up and be connted on the side
of honest and progressive government.
And to what end? The city is put to
the needless trouble and expense OF an
other election. 1t has failed choose a
mayor, failed by the negligence of citi,
zens who stayed at home. Charles
Sydney Smith deserved better at the
hands of his friends. The situation de-
manded an earnest and a vigorous
effort, and it was not made.
Since there must be second election
let the lesson of the first be needed.
When the day comes, vote Vote early

AND STILL TIN PLATE.

Said the Chicago Herald the other day:
"The anxiety of the high tariff organs
TO make the best possible showing for
this industry may be due to the provis-
ion of the Mckinley bill making tin
plate free after Oct. 1, 1897, unless the
home output in some intervening year
shall equal one-third of the total amount
imported in any fiscal year following the
adoption of the new tariff. IL is neces-
sary TO satisfy the President. whoever
he may be, on that point in order to the
prolongation of the life of tin-plate pro-
lection after the date named. The Nc
Kinley papers evidently intend To Por-
terize the statistics 90 the best of their
ability. In some way the President
must be convinced that the conditions
of continuance have been fulfilled"
This is TO a certain extent compliment
tary to the Republican party, for it
credits il with long look ahead. a
steadfast gaze even into the twentieth
century. But Republicans are not at
the moment concerning themselves with
what viii happen in five or six years.
What interests them and all that inter
ests them at the moment. 50 far as the
tin-plate question is concerned, is that
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-11-25

an industry whose bud is full Of promise
shall have fair opportunity to blossom.
The Chicago hfer-Ocean states the
Republican position fully and fairly
when it says: "The Republican party
will be just as firm in demanding repeal
of the tin-plate tariff as the Democratic
party dare be in 1897, if the conditions
set forth in the law are not accomplished.
The difference at present between the
two parties is neither more nor less than
this The Republicans hope and be-
ieve that the increased duty on tin-plate
will enable this country to cease from
paying $50, 600, 900 a year to Welsh man
ufacturers the Democratic politicians
are afraid that it will, but hope that it
will not"
Meanwhile it is to be remembered that
no protectionist claims that quantity
of tin plate equal to one-third of that i'm
ported will be made in America during
the present year. Protection was given
to the American industry no longer ago
than July last, and the temporary sue
cess of Democratic falsehood in Novem-
Der, 1890, doubtless checked the move
ment of capital toward it. The splendid
victory of the protectionists in Ohio has
caused healthy reaction, and the signs
are for a very respectable enlargement Of
American tin-plate works during the
year 1892. From July, 1901, to Decem-
Der of the same year is not too long to
allow for the purely experimental stages
of the new industry. The experimental
stage has been more than satisfactory,
and is certain to be succeeded by an
equally satisfactory practical stage, un-
less, by ill-fortune, ga strong-siding
champion of Welsh tin-plate interests
is elected to be President, and is sup
ported by majority of England's friends
in the American Congress.
The restrictive clause of the tariff law,
as it affects tin plates, is just as binding
as the granting clause. Protection is
granted in the hope that a new Ameri-
can industry may be built up. 1t is
provided that protection shall be with.
drawn in 1897 if it has not built up
great industry. If protection proves a
failure to tin plate Republican policy
will abolish it, just as it removed pro-
lection from sugar when it had failed to
increase production.
II is in order, by way of conclusion, to
remind free traders that those eminent
free traders and importers, French &
Co., of New York, Baltimore and Chi
cago, announce that tin-plate prices are
down, and they say that they are down

York State control the conventions and
make the nominations for their party,
and unless there is loud cry from the
people for his nomination II may be con-
sidered certain that Cleveland will get
very few votes among the seventy-two
delegates from New York State to the
national Democratic convention. If re-
jected by his own State the delegates
from outside would hardly insist upon
his nomination. II, however, he can
show strength equal to either Hill or
Flower, and can break the unit rule which
New York delegates to national Demo
cratic conventions have heretofore been
bound by, his prospects Of success are
bright. Probably Mr.. Cleveland had
this idea in mind when he spoke the in
volved pair of sentences to his friend of
the Lawyers Club. He must know that
it is necessary for him to keep himself
prominently before the public, and ex-
perience has taught him that to that end
no way is easier and more direct than to
have himself discussed as Presidential
possibility.
From now on it may be considered as
certain that Cleveland is on hunt for
votes, and that he will get them if pos
sible. 1t may be considered as equally
certain that he will get none if Hill and
Flower can prevent it.

Chauncey M. Depew Is unfolding new
phase OF his versatility He seems TO have
decided TO become lottery denouncer. He
may be trying to find platform upon
which he can make bid for consideration
as Presidential ibility.-Telegram.
The Telegram probably knows that
Chauncey is not afflicted with any presi-
Dental bee in his bonnet, but yesterday

may have been hard to find.

few months ago excused himself for hold
ing two Offices and drawing two salaries

make good his word he should turn this
money back into the United States Treas
ury.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
But he won't. It's not Hills way and
nobody mas ever expected him to do so.
There is a very marked tendency on the
part of the leading Democratic papers to
advocate an entire new tariff and one for
revenue only. This is the natural conse-
quence of the Mckinley tariff, for the
higher protection climbs the greater the
distance it must surely fall.-Journal and
Bulletin.
The issue is clearly marked. Protec-
tion To American industries on the one

Its choice between them?

coinage In the North and East he hedges

a majority divided on this particular ques-
tion.-Boston Traveller.
But definition would be fatal. Mills
knows it. The impossibility of defini-
tion is one of the beauties of the very
much mixed Democratic situation.

1t does not seem as if it ought to be a
hard task to make men see that if the

make any poor man in the country one
