CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 25.-The inves-
tigation of the lake front question here
by the new city commission develops
the important fact that the Lake Shore
and Cleveland e Pittsburgh railroads
have no valid title to large part of
the property they claim, and the pres
ent city government will undoubtedly
make determined effort to GUST them.
The property is worth million of dol
lars, and the sites of the Milling Co, and
several other corporations are also at
fected If the railroads fight the
claims of the city to the last long and
costly legal contest is certain.

Mr.. Cleveland is thus complimented
in August for the position he was de-
nounced for in February before the
Ohio demagogue had fallen upon the
point he is now trying to turn to the
advantage of his party.
There is every evidence that the re-
publican leaders are trying to straddle
the currency issue as best they can,
pending a more certain knowledge of
how the popular wind is blowing. The
late equivocal republican silver plank
in Pennsylvania is striking case in
point. and all of Mr.. Harrison's recent
speeches when examined carefully are
found to be attempts at hedging and
lodging until the condition of the pop
ular pulse has been more clearly ascer-
tanned.
All this plainly shows that the party
now in power, so far as its leaders are
concerned, are on the fence ready to
sllulll over to any position that prom

THE PARTY OF FREE COINAGE.
An Annoying Plank in the Last Eepub-
Hcan National Platform.

An Annoying Plank in the Last Eepub-
Iican National Platform.
The Republican organs are constant
ly kept busy on the defensive trying to
evade the recorded fact that when it
suited its purpose the republican party
was the silver party, holding up to de-
nunciation the democracy as the enemy
of silver coinage.
But evidence which can neither be
erased nor explained away is embodied
in the explicit plank in it's last national
platform. which declares:
The republican party is in favor of the use of
both gold and silver money. and c0ndfnns
TIE policy Of tn dfmocrTtic administration in It's
Ell Orts to d mohstize silcer.
In spite of this declaration, however,
it was the republican party that posed
in congress as the party to demonetize
silver. Silver is demonetized in prac-
tice when it is not received at the
minis to be coined for and in behalf of
any citizen presenting it for that pur-
pose. Now the party which demone-
tized silver has legislated for virtual
free coinage and is found denouncing
the democracy as advocating what it
formerly denounced them for opposing.

inconsistency Is 10 De 1Ouhu THAN III the

UNHAPPY MIR. SMITH.
Arrested ut His Wife's Suit and Denied
the Consolation Of Suicide.


the Consolation Of Suicide.
W. Smith, laborer, was arrested by
Constable Charles Robinson last night on
warrant sworn out by Mrs. Smith before
Justice Won Tobel. She charges her hus-
band with threatening to kill her and
claims to be afraid that he will carry out
his threat
Constable Robinson called at Smiths
house at 1891 Tenth street to serve the
warrant early in the evening, but Smith
jumped out of a second-story window and
made his escape. Another effort later on
was more successful, however and the man
was taken into custody and handcuffed
before his avenging wife and hurried off to
Jail. He wept bitterly and said he would
soon end his troubles in death. He told
his wife that when she next saw him his
dead body would be lying ON the doorstep.
At the Jail Officer Robinson suggested
that Smith be searched for weapons be-
cause he had threatened to commit suicide
His pockets were all emptied, but nothing
in the shape of a weapon was found. He
was then compelled to take off his shoes
with like results, but when ordered to take
of his pants razor, which had been con-
cealed in his underwear, dropped to the
floor.
Smite was very much chagrined and dis
appointed at the loss of his only means of
ending his miserable existence, and again
burst into tears He says that the people
living in the same house with his wife put
her up to procuring a warrant for his
arrest, and that they have caused all of
the troubles between his wife and him and
have destroyed the happiness of his home.

NOT TO BE SOLD YET.
Sale OF the Courthouse Delayed-Bsl-
lard to Step Higher.

The board of county commissioners met
in session yesterday and decided to post
pone the sale of the old courthouse. The
county auditor was directed to notify the
county clerk that from and after this date
the commissioners will only allow stem
ographers in the courts of King county
pay at the rate of IS per day; anthing less
than one-halfa day, $3.50.
The bond of A. d. Pinkerton, justice of
the peace for Cherry valley precinct, was
approved.
Because of the prolonged delay in the
completion of the new court house, the
old county property will not be sold Feb
ruary 10, as has been advertised. The sale
was ordered postponed indefinitely. 1t is
not known to the board when the court
house will be ready for occupancy.
In the matter of the resolution of the
town council of the town of Ballard, pas
sed January 6, 1891, and which was filed
with the county auditor, it was
ordered that the resolution be entered
on the records of King county. The
county auditor was also directed to make
certified copy of the proceedings and
transmit the same to the secretary of
state
The resolution detailed the fact that at
an election held in the town of Ballard,
December =, 1890, the citizens declared in
favor of having that town advanced from
its present status as city of the fourth
class to that of city of the third class.
Ballard now has population of 1885
persons.

The House Rings with Laughter at the
Production OF 1.-THE Omadhaun.''
Cordray's neat theater rang with the
peals of merry laughter that greeted the
first production of 1.-THE Omadhaun" last
night. The audience was large and in
tensely enthusiastic, and the performance
a grand success. The mounting was
masterpiece of scenic work, the abbey
scene and the coast view calling forth loud
and prolonged applause THE Omad-
haun" is better staged than any of its pre-
deceesors. and Mr.. Charles 4. Thompson, the
artist, is to be congratulated on his work.
Mr. Bray enlivened the interludes by we'll
Known Irish selections. excellent in their
execution and admirable in their appro-
priateness for the occasion. Mr.. ]. J.
Williams in the title role bore out all the
expectations of those who knew his merits
in Irish comedy characters. His brogue
was natural, his get up realistic, and his
facial appearance Irish in every line.7
is so thoroughly represented that one is
led to believe himself actually participant
ing in the exciting scenes as they
pass, and breathing the sea air
as it blows in over Siigo's cliffs
Mr.. Williams is eminently successful in
depicting Irish humor. He does it with
apparent unconsciousIiess, and does not
betray their expectation of applause when
telling line is given. Rudyard Kipling
makes his characters introduce themselves
in his world-famous stories. Mr.. Williams
introduces himself in his Irish characters.
They are part of his natural manner, and
this manner springs from national Inherit
ance.
Miss Margaret Marshall was the leading
character among the lady performers, so
far as her portrayal of individuality went
Her delineation of Mrs. O'Reilly bore the
stamp of distinctive outline. She repre-
scented class it is true, but she
did more-she placed before the
audience a woman who had peculiarities
all her own. Miss Minnie Tittell also did
very commendable work as Oonah Ryan,
and proves her claim to considerable yer-
satility. Miss Essie Tittell presented
fine picture of the Irish girl of gentle
birth. She showed the native modesty,
the piquancy, the impulsiveness and the
caustic irony of Mary O'Mara with good
taste. Her brogue was just sufficient to
be perceptihle. As Nora O'Donnell. Miss
Eva French was very effective. Captain
Thornton was excellently assumed by Mr..
r. e. French. who, by the way, looked
every inch an English officer. Mr.. George
Berry was most successful in his imper-
sonation of the false-hearted villain Miles
O'Shea, and Mr.. Samuel Morris was
equally effective in the role of Murdoch
McNeary. Mr.. Elmer's Father Ryan
is slightly Americanized, to say the least
Mr.. Bronson made a good Tim Murphy,
Mr.. John Lowell a typical sergeant, Mr..

the past months sale.
It's the final clearing away.
Getting out the broken lines,
the remnants, at any cost.
There are hundreds of pieces
that have money tied up in
them and we want it. It's fair
that you should have the add
vantage of these pieces. We
are content if they bring us
back a part of their cost. You
can have the difference.
Today the remnants are out
for the slaughter. There are
remnants ofall classes of goods.
Remnants of silks.
Remnants of satins.
Remnants of velvets.
Remnants dress goods
Remnants laces.
Remnants linens.
Remnants fannels.
Remnants dress nets.
All yours to pick from and
buy at startlingly reduced hg-
ures. Prices where half the
cost is not brought back.
The lengths are what will
please you. None of the little
half-yard sorts. Some have
nearly a full dress pattern.
On central tables, in first
aisle, you will find the remnants
spread out for your inspection.
Look them over. There are
gifts of dollars in many of them.
A chance to get double your
investment returned you in the
goods.
Tomorrow millinery depart
ment is going to clear out the
entire stock of trimmed hats,
etc. There is only one way to
do this. Prices are to be given
that will attract immediate at
tention.
Our head milliner is now in
New York buying the spring
millinery goods. What is now
in stock must be entirely cleared
out before the new goods ar
rive.
Tomorrow We will explain

MORE ABOUT KELLEHER.
His Friends Accused Of Misquoting st.
Paul Mems Letter.

More evidence viii shortly be forthcom-

published, which came TO local member
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-

members of the St. Paul branch OF the
organization. and which stated that Chief

been suddenly thrown out of employment
by the enforcement of the new charter pro-
visions. He had been employed as fore
man of the laborers who were laying the
new Waterman on Front street, but the
objection was raised that he had not been
in the city year. and he was discharged.
All the laborers employed with him were
also discharged yesterday.
Captain Ryan claims that the charter
provision referred to only applies to cleo

who are hired by the day, as he was. He
therefore regards his discharge as an in
justice.
