GALENA's UNIQUE MAYOR.
OratoricaI Outbursts In the Introduction o
Great Public Speakers.
nril,.

OratoricaI Outbursts In the Introduction Of
Great Public Speakers.
Chicago Tribune.l
Mayor Frieseneck, of Galena, Is q popular
man among his people, principally because
he puts on no frills and is the same to all
men. He has never made any pretensions
in appearing before the public, and when
such occasions have occurred he has gone to
the front and had his say in his own inimit-
able way. Last Wednesday the Mayor was
master of ceremonies ON the grand stand in
Galena, and presented the speakers to the
audience. 1t must be said that the Mayor
was most happy in his presentations. They
were brief and devoid Of any action which
would be construed as an attempt to show
off, weakness of so many chairmen. In
presenting the Rev. Mr. Yundt, who offered
the prayer, the Mayor said:
Now, be quied, evTypody; der Rev. Mr..
Yundt will bray some"
Equally as brief and well put was his intro
duction of Ex-Governor Hoard:
"Now Guffner Hoard will make der bresen-
tation of der monumen, and let efrypody be
quied, please"
And his announcement of Governor Fifer:
"Now We will hear from Illinois Gufner-
And when the time came for the presenta.
tion Of the orator of the day the Mayor OF
Galena was still unrattled. He said:
Now, keeb Quied, evrypody. mshter
Derbeu is gotn' to talk mid you some. Keep
tie" '-- ''-'O- '- WV " ''- -
1t is unfortunate, perhaps, that the Mayor,
not being an orator, was unable to make his
introductions heard and the Tribune deems
1t but proper that one who has shown so
much aptness in the presentation of distin-
guished orators as has the Mayor of Galena
should have full credit for what he did.

A CHANCE TO COMPROMISE.

The Mayor is taking good step in offer
ing his services to the contending parties
in the building strikes for getting them
together and reaching a compromise 1t
is to be hoped the offer will be received
with as good a spirit as it is made and
that a conference will be held which will
reach satisfactory results.
Il has been evident for some days that
the strike has Outlasted the expectations
Of contestants. The inference is natural
that both sides would be willing to confer
for a settlement of the difference, but
that each is afraid to make move in that
direction for fear that it will be taken as a
sign Of yielding. This is false view of
any offer to compromise difficulties, but
il is so general as to be natural. In the
meantime the public interest is suffering
by the suspension Of building operations;
and it is for the public welfare that Mayor
Gourley will make his effort to bring the
contending parties together
The step is very cOmmendable one It
should be received favorably by masters
and men, and an earnest effort made to
use it for settling the dispute. The strike
has already cost more than it can ever
come to. The party which now refuses to
do its share toward a compromise will
Forfeit its claim on the public approval

ONLY s1oo, 600, 900 WANTED.

The Hon. Warner Miller has been max
ing enthusiastic addresses over the pros
poets of the Nicaragua canal He de-
clares that five millions have already been
spent on that project, which includes the
big salaries of the double-headed corpora
tions by which the promoters contract
with themselves to do all the work, and
all that is needed to carry it to glorious
success is the trife of s1O0,OOO,00O. The
criticism of rank outsider that the cost
will be nearer $50, ,OO0, 900 is repelled by
Mr.. Miller's organ with great deal Of
warmth Tie estimates are declared to
be only $50, 900, 900, but M. Menocal, for
sake of safety, swelled them to SIC, ,0Oo, 900,
and the Hon Warner Miller, with like
view, puts it up again to 500, 100000.
All of which is suggestive of De Les
seps' confidence in the Panama scheme.
The earnest assurance that the bagatelle
of 500, ,O00, 900 is all that is needed also
suggests that the scheme to get the United
States Governments Endorsement of the
canal company's bonds to that extent was
not so entirely without the consent of the
promoters of that company as was alleged
at the time. If the United States should
let itself in for that sum we may be sure
that the contract cost of the canal would
not be less than s1oO,OOO,OOO, whether the
Hon. Warner Miller's construction COM
pany got it done for the estimated $50, ,OOO,-
900 or not
If Mr.. Miller can find capitalists to in
vest 500, 900, 900 in the stock and bonds of
his enterprise he is all right. But none of
the United States funds should go there.
If the United States Government has
500, 100000 to put into canals it can find
Interior water ways to improve which at
the same cost will carry commerce that
will benefit the people Of the United States
five times as much as his canal

BARBARITY AND CIVILIZATION.

A German banker, who recently visited
Moscow, reports his astonishment at dis
covering there that the wealth of the richer
Hebrews secures them no exemption from
the prosecutions directed against the
poorer class. The idea that there is a
country where wealth cannot purchase ex-
emption from the stringency of the law as
It is inflicted on the poor and defenseless
struck the German banker in as utterly a
subversiye light as it would appear to an
American financier to learn that the rail-
ways in Russia cannot ignore or nullify
laws at their pleasure.
Y is true, however, that this fact does
indicate the overwhelming barbarity of
the Russian enmity to the Hebrews.
Wealth in Russia can purchase very great
privileges; and the administrative officials
OF the Empire are notoriously open to the
argument of an open purse. 1t is a testi
mony Of the overruling and controlling
race hatred that inspires the prescription
Of the Hebrew race in Rusck that its
wealthier members have no exemption
from ts7s crueltieS and Injustice to be ex-
pectesySs the case of the poor

mos GasgTained and unconquerable-the

A Very Bright Boy.

1t was an evening school in Providence,
R. l., says the Boston Herald. There was a
class of restless, dirty newsboys and boot
blacks on the front seat, trying to see how
little they could study, and how much they
could annoy the teacher. Finally the teach
er called up the class and put them through
the catechism on United States history.
"Who discovered American"
Nobody seemed to know, and the teacher,
a long-sutfering student from the university,
lost his patience. Shutting his book with a
bang he dismissed the class with these sar-
castle remarks;
"Well, when one of you boys get to the
point where he needs to have some one vote
for him as Governor or President, he will
be ashamed to think he doesn't know who
discovered American
.One of the notwithstanding of the boys
raised his grimy paw.
"Well, Tom, what is it?"
81 know who discovered America"
"Why didn't you tell then?" asked The
teacher, sharply.
Zoos didn't want to tell all know said
Tom, while the class went off into a roar.
The teacher called up the advanced class in
spelling, and there was q smile on his face
the rest of the evening.

From Hot to Cold.

Marcus DAILY, the rich miner and crafty
politician of Montana, stood in front of the
Auditorium yesterday when the suns rays
were hottest, says the Chicago Herald. He
was waiting for q carriage and wishing for
winter. 1t seemed as if every acquaintance
that said something to him said something
about the warm day, and this was becoming
tiresome. Presently fresh young man with
q salmon-colored suit and silver headed
cane came out of the hotel. Noticing the
famous Montanan trying to cool himself
with handkerchief he said:
Good morning, Mr.. DAILY"
"Morning."
"Hot isn't it7"

almost looked through the young man.

Mr. Blaine,S PecuIiarities.

Morris NJ. Estee is among those who think
that Americas greatest man is James G..
Blaine, says the San Francisco Cdu For
nearly an hour he sat in the corridor OF the
Palace Hotel last night and discussed the
many brilliant qualities of the Secretary of
State.
"Blaine's opening address to the Pan
American Congress" said he, twill be treas
ured as one of the most mastery efforts of
American oratory. Before the delivery it
was submitted to the American delegates
and nearly all were in favor of the change of
a single word in the text. The suggestion
was listened to most kindly, but Blaine
positively refused to make the alteration.
"When it was delivered l sat next to
Colonel Hanson, of South Carolina, an ex-
Confederate veteran and one of the most
radical Democrats l ever met. AS Mr.
Blaine resumed his seat the Colonel turned
to me with tears in his eyes, and said: 'Estee
love my country, but never In my life have
been so proud Of my nationality as at this

How DIR. Chalmers Won.

Dr.. Chalmers always had high sense OF
personal dignity. When a young man he
was engaged as tutor in a private family,
says the New York World His young lady
pupils resented his strictness, and the
mother foolishly took sides with her
daughters. In petty spite, when company
was invited to the house, young Chalmers
was shut out from the table, and dinner was
sent to his room.
He made no protest against the treatment,
but when it was attempted again he told the
servant he had ordered n dinner ut q neigh
boring town, and should need nothing.
When this had been done a few times an ex-
plosion came. The master of the house
called Chalmers to account for insulting his
family. Chalmers replied that he had been
insulted by banishment from the table. The
young teacher conquered, and ever after
held his place as one of the family at all
social gatherings.

PITTsBURG, THURSDAY. JUNE IS, 1891.
A SQUARE CANVASS ON THE TARIFF.


The nomination of Major Mckinley by
the Republicans of Ohio, for Governor,
makes the issue fairly and squarely upon
the tariff. No man could be chosen in
Ohio who so thoroughly represents the
protective system under which the indus
tries of the country have prospered as the
compiler of the tariff bill passed by the
last Congress.
No matter what the side issues imported
into the Ohio canvass, the whole country,
and foreign countries as well, will look to
the result next November as distinct
and meauivocal declaration for or against
the protective policy. In this view, and
no other is possible, the great majority of
Pennsylvanians- indeed we might say all
who believe in continuing the sys-
ten under which our home indus
tries have flourished-will heartily join
in wishing for Major McKinley's election.
de has the powerful argument to support
him that the tariff bill of the last Congress, in
place Of being now the bugaboo which the
Democrats attempted to make it out last
fall, is operating with distinct bene fits,
instead of disasters, to our national trade
and manufacturers. The hysterical cries
Of the free-traders and tariffiteS for rev.
enue only which filed the air last Novem-
Der, portending terrible things from the
new tariff, are heard no longer. Already,
in but a few months, the results of the
bill are beneficial enough to warrant its
supporters in their confidence, and to ST.
lence and confound its opponents.
So sufficient should the tariff be
to rally the voters of Ohio to
Mckinley in the pending campaign
that the other topics brought into
the Majors address of acceptance are
mere impedimenta. So far as some of his
other issues 90, Major Mckinley does not
strengthen his position by taking them up.
In trying to cover the whole ground, as
an address to party convention is ex-
pected to do-to swear that the Repub-
hcan party is right in everything
he went outside of the subject
on which he is the acknowledged
leader and in going outside was in
some places weak and even contradictory.
Thus when he claimed for the Republican
party that it assists the farmer in obtain
ing foreign market $50 far as it is pos
slole by the reciprocity provision OF the
new law" he left himself open to the re-
tort that when in Congress he was not
supporter of the reciprocity provision.
When he arraigned the Democratic admin
istration of Ohio for extravaganza in in
creasing State expenditures S7S5,OOO for
two years, like objection was liable to
arise from his omission to say anything
about an increase of S26O, ,OOO, 900 in the ap-
preparations of the Congress of which he
was leader
Such faults as these, however, are the
natural features of oratory addressed to a
partisan audience. The canvass, we trust,
will not turn upon this extraneous matter.
1t is absolutely and distinctively canvass
on the tariff. As such, it will be regarded
by all; and all friends of protection, no
matter how they differ upon any other
question, will for this reason heartily wish
for Mckinley'S success.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
The O'Gorman NIabone.

One of the most conspicuous figures in
Irish politics for more than half century passed
away Tuesday. The O'Gorman Malone was born
at Ennis, County Glare, in 1903, and named James
Patrick O'Gorman Mahone taking the title by
which he was best known from his mother, who
was the daughter of 1.-THE O'Gorman." He
studied at Trinity College, Dublin, where he took
his degree of b. A. in 1922 Two years later he
one Of the founders of the Catholic Association,
and Of sufficient Importance for Richard Lalor
Shiel to describe him In brilliant pen picture. He
helped Daniel O'Connel to his election from Clare,
and when the latter was elected from Kerry later
on Malone took his place in Parliament, sent
thither by the electors of Glare. In 1s47 he was
again elected to Parliament, this time from Ennis,
but in the election of 1852 he was defeated, when
The O,G9rman Malone disappeared from ireland
and wandered over the face Of the earth for more
than quarter Of a century. 1t was told of him
that every capital in Europe knew him, that he
was for time In Central and South America, help
ing to build Republics, and that he was staff
colonel and aidede-camp to the President of Costa
Rica. 1t was said Of him. too. that he had fought
dIes besides many times perilng his life on the
battlefield. Finally, in 1873, he reappeared in his
native town OF Ennis and was again sent to the
House OF Commons where and elsewhere he sus-
tanned home rule and Parnell. At the time of his
death The O'Gorman Malone was a magistrate and
deputy lieutenant for County Clare and Member Of
Parliament for Carlow.
