IN THE WINGS.

Considering the attractions OF fair week.
the business being done atthe Grand opera
mouse this week is highly gratifying Asan
antidote to the rough and tumble rollicking
faree-comedy. THE Old. Old Story is a vel

any great originality. 1t is a story of every.
day nineteenth century life. into which are
woven three love matches Rhe success of

upon the efforts of the company. I'M
doubtedly the strongest and most capable
work was done by Miss Fannie Mcintyre.
Her vivacity, forceful action and perfect
naturalness were of the highest order,
receiving the repeated plaudits OF the
critical portion of the audience. Next in
order OF merit was Wilson Deal, who, as a
physician of the old school, gives a highly
successful delineation. His brusqueness of
speech, sudden ebullitions and hearty good
Will provoked much merriment assisting to
relieve the play of its dry details, which, it
would seem. might be curtailed TO consider
able advantage. There are in the piece the
elements of success. Though an old story is
told, new road is taken to reach the old
goal and. with little pairing, the play can
be made stronger and much more accent
able to the average theatergoer. There is a
breezy touch about the part of Miss Berthe
Robinson, and the most is made of it. The
role token by Miss Isabelle Martin is very ac-
ceptably given and furnishes some charm
ing situations, which were admirably brought
out. Emmett c. King gives typical sketch

figure, well modulated voice, and his bear

AN EVIDENT DANGER

Reciprocity is nota homogeneous con-
nection of protection. The architects
and votaries of the protective system
have no love for it, but it has been
adopted in quarter that compels ac-
quiescence, ang it is useful as foil to
the urpopularity of the high tariff sys-
TEN. There is evident, however, ap-
prehension as to where it may lead. 1t
is chip off the block of free trade, and
may develop too much favor for the
larger article. An indication of this
peril was shown in the Republican
state convention in Maryland recently.
Mir. MUDD, leader, who was men,
Der of the last congress after his con-
test was decided. told the convention
that he had been considering the
subject, and had concluded that if rec
iproclty were good thing to apply to
South America, it should be extended.
For instance, Southern Maryland was
a tobacco region, and it was abso-
lutely necessary that it should have
easier access to England, France and
Germany. He would persuade those
countries to reduce their duties upon
tobacco by Offering them better tariff
rates on their products. This view
took with the convention, and was en-
bodied in its platform by unanimous
vote. Maryland has vast canning inter-
ests, and would like to have tin plate
made free as the reciprocity for tobacco.
Other interests will not see any reason
for stopping with tobacco for the benefit
of Maryland. They will want share
in its advantages. Where will the limit
be reached? The danger is evident for
protectionism.

THE CLENIENCEAU CASE

One OF the best arguments in favor of
virtue IS the unsatisfactorines of sin.
No form OF vicious enjoyment is per-
manently gratifying, and the food-gates
having been once opened to its indulg-
ence, mad chase is begun for further
plunging, in the hope that somewhere a
depth may be reached in which disap-
pointment will not be experienced.
When 1.-The Clemenceau Case' was put
upon the boards of the New York
theaterS it at once commanded a big de-
gree of popular favor, and great crowds
locked to its performances to satisfy
prurient curiosity about its model scene.
Most people probably found that it fell
far short of their expectations, and n
visit once made was not likely to be re-
peated. Nothing was left, if general
interest was to be maintained. except
to add to the attraction, and lately

THELEAyEN WORKING.

The most recent reports of the popu-
lar feeling in Canada indicate general
desire for commercial union with this
country, and no small increase in the
belief that annexation must ensue in
time. 1t is believed that many of those
who have been most pronounced in op-
position recognize the fact that destiny
is against them. Still, no markedieXhi-
bition of this will be had at present.
The late census of the dominion is like
the leaven in the bread antecedentS
doing work. Great effort mas been had
to secure immigration from Europe,
and in the past decade about $4,000
have been indaced to come over.
This addition, with the natural increase
of prolific population of 100000 ten
yeaIS ago, should swell the aggregate
more than million, but the relentless
census figures sift it down 10 49S,534. In
the previous decade the growth was
about ESQ., 900, or about 10 per cent. Now
1t is reduced to II per cent, with no
prospects for Improvement. 1t is not
encouraging to eXpend money and
effort to secure settlers from other lands
and have the better part OF them either
return or come over the line to the
United States. Nor is it the aliens alone
that drift away before the attractions of
the big neighbor. The natives come also
in large numbers, and the Toronto
Globe bewals the fact that the
flower of the land is being lost. 1t says:
'Those who leave us are, as rule. the
choicest men and women, whose disap-
pearance must have a tendency to lower
the general quality, so to speak, of the
population" Further it admits. alt

migratory movement would be greatly

terprise would go there to develop its
resources and industries. While an

RuSSIA,S MENACE.

Russia has extorted from the sultan
very important concession in the pas
sage of her ships through the Darda-
nelles into the Mediterranean. 1t gives
that outreaching power marked adj
vantage over the other nations that does
not promote their serenity. After the
Crimean war Russia was shut out of
the Black sea. In 1871 it forced Eng
land to allow fleet to be maintained
there, and has since made it very
powerful one. Now 1t will be able to
get its war vessels into the Mediter-
ranean. This is menace to the peace
of Europe. but the other powers
will probably evade the issue. 1t
is too tremendous a thing for them
to engage in general war with its
uncertain issue, without the gravest
consideration. If Russia were not
most atrocious despotism 1t would en-
ploy ali its energies and resources now
in relieving the distress of the people,
and trying to tide the country over the
starvation peril, instead of throwing out
challenge to stupendous war. There
has rarely been time when there was
such urgent need of the resources of
the government being concentrated
upon the relief of the people, and at
no period since the last Turkish
war has the Russian power been
more menacing or its war appli-
ances put into greater activity. While
its people are threatened with starva-
ton, it goes on with the dastardly work
of prosecuting the Jews and encroach-
ing upon the rights of other nations.
If the masses there had the courage of
manhood, they would not submit to the
sacrifice of their rights to subserve
the ambition of heartless tyranny.
Possibly they may in time develop the
pluck that will overturn the czarism
that is so out of place in civilized lands
at this late day.

a PICTUREsRUE FIGURE.

When the Hon. EDWARD L. JONES
was called from the scale business to
assume the still weightier duties of the
lieutenant goyernorship of New York
state, he was a quite unknown man.
ROSWELL p. FLOWER had been first
selected to make the race with DAVID
Is. HILL, and when he declined the
honor, the choice lay between one
SMITH, since dead, and one JONES, now
very much alive. JONES has made an
interesting figure on the political land
scape, and has developed into
sort of DoNNELLY of the En-
pire state, playing the buffoon
in hopeless striving for further pre-
ferment and power. Like the other
prominent Democrats of New York,
however, he has kept himself entirely
free from the suspicion of personal dis
honesty, and has added no little harm
less amusement to the party maneuy-
erings and campaignings of recent
years. Now he wants TO be governor,
and sit in the seat of MoREY and SEW
ARD and THDEN and CLEVELAND.
This is an honorable ambition, and it is
too bad that he is not numbered with
the Republicans. If he were he might
fill the aching void in their list Of gu
berhatorial candidates, and supply the
PaSchal lamb whom Tom PLATT is seek
ing for the slaughter. AS it is, he can
do nothing more than stir things
up, and as a free lance impart little
liveliness to the coming battle of giants
Nobody ought to begrudge him such a
work, and an occasional shaft such as
he launches this morning is really
quite worth while. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND is, as he says, the friend and the
champion of the masses, the wage
earners and the common people, and
from among them comes the support
which he and his principles enjoy. His
position probably will not require that
he should stand in the way of the can
didacy of Mr.. FLOWER, or come out for
JONES. But if he leads his party's
ticket again in a presidential election,
it will be in the character which JONES
has pictured for him, and the issue will
be Joined with him or some other Dem
ocrat on the one side standing for pop
ular liberty, and the enemy on the
other pledged to monopoly's and prod
igality's cause.

ACCURACY OF REPORTERS.

Hon. w. ID. WASHBURN now denies
that he applied the eplthet ''idots' to
the mass of Americans who. travel
ing abroad, pay their hotel bills and
railway fares, but he adheres to his en-
phatically expressed opinion that there
is a big crop this year and that the
farmers will get a good price for their
grain if they hold it long enough and
do not hold it too long. He now says
that there are very large number of
decent and intelligent people of this
country who annually go to Europe for
entirely proper motives, and that it was
the inaccuracy and misrepresentation
OF the reporter who interviewed him
which made him seem to cast some
doubt on this proposition.
The GLOBE is glad to see the great
man set himself right, but is sorry that
he makes the reporter the scapegoat in
the matter. 1t very probably would be
more fair for him to admit that he went
little further than he himself had in

that newspaper men seldom make

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. S.-A terrible
tragedy occurred here oarly this morn

and his wife were seated at breakfast
with their three children. boys aged
four six and eight years. The husband
and wife had been quarreling for some
time over some rent money paid
to them. The wife wished a dollar
to buy some clothing for one of the
boys. The husband did not wish her
to spend the money for that purpose,
and threatened to kill her. She fed
from the dining room out to the porch,
while the husband rushed for his
revolver and shot her through
the back, killing her instant
ly. He then turned the pistol
upon himself and blew out his
brains. The couple had been divorced
and were remarked in Topeka about
one year ago. Berger was a German
count, forty-six years OF age. His wife
was twenty-siX. She was remarkably
pretty. She came to this country ten
years ago TO marry the man who MUIR

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Sept. S.-The annual fall
meeting of the Cleveland driving park as
ISOLATION began to-day with a fair attendance.
Monbars, the sensational two-year-old Ken
tucky colt, had an easy task to win the two
year-old stake. He trotted fine mile, and
the show of speed that he made induced the
association to offer a special purse on the
spot if he would trot to beat Sunols two
year-old record, but it was not deemed advis-
able to accept. Ferndale, a yearling by Sem
micolon, trotted a quarter in thirty-six
seconds, 2:24 gait. The 2:40 class trotting
was easily won by Mollie in three straight
heats. AbDie v could have won the 2:l9
class in four heats, presumably, but in the
third Turner was guilty of foul driving on
the home stretch, and Abbie was set back
to tenth place and the heat given to Prince
