W,FADDEN.
The EamcntabIe Story OF the Success
sor TO IcGinty, MeNanus and Nc
NuIty.


[From the New York SUM-
After McGinty sank to the bottom of the
sea, McCloskey threw down his antago-
mist, McManus attended a ball with his
coat severed in twain from the neck down
ward, and McNulty exploited his high
water trousers at McDowd's initiation at
the lodge, the field of comic song-and-
dance chorus remained open to all new
comers till McFadden made his appear
ance McFaddens first name was Clar-
ence, and, beset with the ambition to be n
dancer, his experiences have furnished,
and are furnishing, the theme of Il comic
song as popular and as taking in its words
and melody as Down Went McGinty"
proved to be one year ago.
The German commentator and critic,
August Schlegel, in one of his essays de-
clared that there were four parts to play
constructed upon correct literary princi-
Piles. First there was the cause as shown
in the relation of the characters to each
other, and constituting usually the first
act. Next there was the natural result
whether of love, hate, envy, interest or
Indifference springing from such relation.
This constituted, logically considered, the
| full of suspense and uncertainty, spring
ing from this, and constituting the
third act. And, finally, there was the
catastrophe, climax, in which the events
of the story naturally eliminated, making
the fourth and last act, in which the vii
lain got his deserts, and in which the fidel-
ity of the hero secured the heart and hand
of the heroine and the long deferred bless
ing of her obdurate father The story of
McFadden's mishaps follows closely the
formula laid down by Schlegel Verse
one, which is entirely descriptive in its
character, reveals the ambition of McFad-
den and the method he adopted to satisfy
| it:
| Clarence McFadden he wanted to waltz
But his feet weren't gated that way
/ So he saw professor and stated his case,
| And said he was willing to pay.
The professor looked down in alarm at his feet
| AS he viewed their enormous expanse,
| And he tackled on a five to his regular price
For learning McFadden to dance.
A commercial relation of a definite char
acter having thus been established between
the professor and McFadden, the next steI
in the narrative reveals as follows, and
subject to the rules laid down by Schlegel
the result of that relation:
He took out McFadden before the whole class,
And showed him the step once or twice.
But McFadden's two feet got tied into knot;
Sure he thought he was standing on ice!
| Never looking behind or before,
And chewed all the wax of the floor!
To leave McFadden in this deplorabl,
and mirth- producing position would hav
been unkind on the part of the professor
and would have displayed, too, an absenc
of artistic perception on the part of tn
, narrator. Herein came the opportunit
Morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven [Conn.]) 1848-1894, 1891-02-18

to excite the curiosity of the hearer, and
to leave him in a state of mental suspense.
1t is utilized in the following lines, which
leave the hearer quite unable to determine
whether or not McFadden got, or did not
get, full commercial return for his cash in
vestment with the professor:
MeFadden soon got the step into his head,
But il wouldn't go into his feet.
He hummed La Gitana" from morning till
night,
And he counted his steps on the street
One night he went home, 10 his room TO retire.
After painting the town a bright red:
Sure he dreamt he was waltzing. and let ont his
And he kicked the dashboard OF the bed.
The injury done to his household prop
erty was, however, for McFadden, some
thing of a side issue, tinged with humor-
GUS significance, and having nothing in it
of stirringly dramatic or tragic charac-
ter. The intense phase of the story was,
with true artistic judgment, retained for
the last, and its effect was further height
ened by the introduction of the heroine,
since without a heroine-a young, fair,
sympathetic, loving and suffering woman
no story of stage or real life would or
could be complete. The heroine of Nc
Fadden's romance figures only in the clos
ing verse, and, it must be confessed, she
does not figure in a very attractive or en-
N4aolc pooilloA.
When Clarence had practiced the step for
awhile,
Sure he thought that he had it down fine
He went to a girl and he asked her to dance,
And he wheeled her out into the line
He walked on her feet, and he fractured heI
toes,
And he said that her movement was false:
Sure the poor girl went round for two weeks OF
n crutch
For learning McFadden to waltz
This disposes of McFadden, and, for the
period of two weeks, of the young girl
but it makes no allusion to the professor
| and, accordingly, sort of epilogue or en-
vol was constructed by the author, il
| which the professor. in the words of :
chorus, was heard addressing McFadder
| in the following words. replete with tn,
accents of censure of Clarence's awkward
| ness and of a buoyant hope on his owl
| part of better things in the future should
| McFadden continue to take lessons in tn,
| terpsichorean art:
| One, two, three balance like me:
| You're fairy. but you have your faults:
While Your left foot is lazy. Your right foot
crazy,
But don't he unaisy. I'll learn you to walt.
The boys all over town are whistlinl
| this refrain, and undoubtedly the story o
| McFadden's mishaps as dancer will con
| tinue 10 be popular until it makes room
| for something newer or fresher, if no
better, in the same line of vocal compost

NOT A COMBINE.
THE WHEAT TRUST ONLY AN
UNOFFICIAL SUGGESTION.
If 1t Were Carried Out Generally 1t Would
Result in More Disaster than
Good-Donneliy's Bug.

New YORK, July 24.-To-day a reporter
interviewed w. c. Crum. general manager of
the New York bureau of the national Farm
ers' Alliance and the Reform press asso-
citation, touching the sO-called wheat
trust combine among the farmers.
He denied that any such combination had
be informed. The suggestion was made, he
said. sometime ago in the Farmer thai
the farmers would do well TO
hold their wheat for better prices
in preference to allow ii to
fall IN the hands of INSCRIPTIONS specuia-
tors. Upon this advice word was sent out
through the bureau of the reform press two
weeks ago advising the farmers to hold
their wheat. Several sub-Alliances in Ii
nois met and passed resolutions to this
effect which were published in the Alliance
papers, there being no effort to conceal the
fact whatever. An attempt TO make it
appear as if some traitor in the camp
had revealed the matter before the armers'
Alliance was ready to let the secret out is in
keeping with SINH IT attempts to vest certain
ambitious leaders with an air of Importance
far beyond their ability or worth.
Mr.. Crum said that the IDEA of issuing
simultaneously at Washington and at st.
Paul million circulars to send to 0,O00
secretaries is part of a well concerted plan
among certain Alliance officers to enhance
their importance il the estimation of the
sternation among the wheat specu-
lators for political effect. Editor
Crum, who is Il practical farmer,
himself and is posted on the scheme as mar
rated says he does not believe intelligent
farmers will be caught with such chat.
He is confident that certain schemers
are trying to work the Farmers AL
lance for all it is worth for selfish
and political purposes. As to
a combination among the farmers. Mr.
Crum said, Il would be glad if the farm
ers could secure good prices, and especially
for wheat, the depreciation of values, re-
peated crop failures, high rates of interest,
ETC., having discouraged the farmers for
several years. They deserve well of their
compat riots, and no one familiar with
their deprivations will begrudge them
all they ask The report coming from ST
Paul stating that Ignatius Donnelly was
opposed to the wheat trust, betrays the
demagoguery of the whole plot. and while
champlonlng the cause 'of the Alliance
he is well known as a Knight of Labor
leader in the West. He is looking for the
presidential nomination in 1892. He hest
tates to urge wheat combine which
would affect the prices of bread of
those whose suffrage he must
have. While l favor any plan which will
contribute honestly to the farmers welfare,
! have doubts of the efficiency of the policy
of holding wheat, It takes money
to move as well as TO buy wheat,
and if held too long and the worlds
crop turns out larger tbae anticipated a
crash is imminents mefef disastrous than
dreamed of in TIE philosophy Of the most
pronounced Alliance dostrine.s
