Miss 1Iaude Granger's Fine Rendition OF
Gabrielle.

miss a1auQo Grangor'9 Eln0 1scneAheAo@ -
Gabrielle.
There was a goodly gathering at the
Opera House, last evening, to see MISS
Maude Granger, the well-known emo.
tional actress, in new play, that OF
Gabrielle, which was the second pre-
sentation OF the play since the new role
was essayed. Miss Granger is one OF
the leading opponents of the school OF
acting, known as emotional" work, on
the stage to-day. Her part in the play
is that OF woman who has become
estranged from the love of her HUSBAND,
confides with another and frankly
acknowledges the consequences. win
the consequences follow tragic scenes
in which Miss Granger is seen to excel
lent advantage. Her graceful move
ments, clear enunciation and earnest.
ness of expression made the role OF
Gabrielle complete success.
Her support was excellent. Jay Hunt
as the Butterfly Dude created consld-
cradle merriment, while Miss Madison
as Fleurette, of the Opera Bouffe, ex-
cited many a smile throughout her con-
yiyial manouvres. A. III. Hastings as
the District Attorney we'll filled the
role, while c. II. Messenger as the Span
ish conspirator, was fully alive to the re-
auirements Of the part. 1t was an en-
pertaining performance throughout

A REFORM NEEDED.

The opening up of Indian lands to
settlement by the government has not
yet been carried out successfully. The
object Of throwing open these domains
is to give to actual settlers and worthy
men a home, but the system followed
by the government has been woefully de-
ficient. One-half, yes, perhaps three
fourths OF the claims taken have been
staked off by ''sooners," spectators and
insincere lOcators. The worthy yeo-
man gets left, because he is honest in
his intention to make an abiding place
for himself and cannot keep up in the
race with the rogues and scoundrels
who resort to all the tricks
and devices known to the sharper
and land shark. Even if this
class Of people do stay they are unde-
sfrable in any community. The social
customs Of the West are crude, it is
true, but il the people are honest there
need be no fear but what they will
prosper by industry and thrift. But
when these honest minded communities
are leavened with a score or so Of
''sooners" and unprincipled spectators
the ultimate result Of their influence on
the body polite is too obvious to re-
Quire the citation Of reasons.
In the opening Of the Sac and Fox
reservation the government fell short
Of the requirements Of the situation.
There were not enough troops to prop
erly guard entrance to the land, and as
a consequence band Of "sooners"
skipped in three hours before the time
designated with their watches set three
hours ahead, with the avoWed purpose
Of swearing they crossed the line at
twelve o'clock should their right to the
lad they had pre-emPted be questioned.

New Workers Fail In an Attempt to Corner
Coffee.

New Workers Fail In an Attempt to Corner
Coffee.
New YORK, September 24.-"Deacon"
Whites attempted corner in corn has
counterpart on smaller scale made by
some of the members of the Coffee Ex-
change to squeeze the market on Sep
TENDER coffee. But it is not good
time for corners, and the attempt re-
suited in failure.
Three or four of the leading firms in
the New York Exchange have been at
tempting to bull the market for Septem-
Der coffee for some time. Unfortunate
ly for them, they ran afoul of the Euro
pean bear and big receipts in the cities
of Brazil.
The dealers in Havre were especially
active in thwarting the schemes of the
New Workers. Coffee began to go down
and in spite of the efforts of the bull
clique, it kept going lower. Yesterday
there was futher drop of from so to SIS
points. Transactions for the day ran
up to 10000 bags.
In Havre, Hamburg, London, Rio and
Santos the coffee market has been
going lately. Receipts at Rio and
Santos have been very heavy, and last
Thursday at Rio they were $4,000 bags,
the highest record there for any one
day. All this, of course, was against
the efforts of the New Workers to bring
about higher prices. In week the
price of September has gone down q
/ cent.a pound; or about 81. 80 q bag.

Tired of Their Bargains Already.
CHANDLER, o. T., September "a
No other town IN the world is like
Chandler to-day, for which the other
towns may be glad. The government
site for the town of Chandler is still in
habited only by few soldiers and the
surveyors, but the other half of the
quarter section, just east of Chandler
has been mapped out into town site,
the population of which changes every
minute, the location of Chandler is on a
high bluff.
The land which the surveyors have
aus-s - tougher thai So .r,s- t s
storm. Great rocks as large as small
house are scattered about all over the
town site, and deep gullies cut 1t into
pieces. With miles of Jewel land all
around, it is difficult to understand why
such q rough piece Of land was selected
for the town. The rival town, on the
adjoining half of the quarter section, is
on level ground. On Tuesday men
rushed into it and drove their stakes
there as anxious to secure fifty foot
piece of ground as though it was worth
$1,000, but when they got it they were
not delighted.
After sleeping out all night Tuesday,
tortured with hunger, thirst, and raw
enous specie Of mosquitoes, hundreds
realized that they had had enough and
began to leave. One man yesterday
offered two lots in the Chandler annex
for ham sandwich without finding
purchaser. The town is overrun with
gamblers of every description. There
has been no trouble in keeping the peo-
ple off the site.

The proper number of guards would
have kept this dishonest class out and
given the law-observing settler chance.
1t is all wrong, and the govern
ment should revise its method Of
opening these lands. There should
be no rushing. 1t would be better, aud
certainly more just to the bona fde
settler, to establish an Office some dis
lance from the territory to be opened,
and allow applicants to take out certif-
Gates of their intentions, which shall
be non-transferable, and then go in
quietly and possess the land. The pres
ent system is vicious, where the timid
settler is terrorized by the revolver Of
the bully, and the honest man is out
witted by the scaly practices Of the un-
principled speculator.

Governor Campbell's speech.

The following extract from Governor
Campbell's speech at Sidney, as to how
the farmer and wageworker is imposed
upon, will not be read without interest.
They are facts and readily understood:
In opposition to these Republican
admissions, Mr.. Mckinley said at
Niles:
SIT is over and over again asserted
that the farmers can not possibly be
benefited by a tariff on farm products.
That he has surplus and therefore he
must seek foreign market to dispose
of it. There seems TO be general i'm
preston that no products come into the
United States in competition with
American farm products. An examina-
ton of the imports of 1890 most eff
fectually dispose of this assumption.

Imported in 1890.
As the distinguished gentleman do

! AS the distinguished gentleman does
not.condescend to go into the details OF
the foregoing table, we will 90 it for
him, and show the farmer how little
| benefit he derives from these importa-
| tiOns. The item of "cattle, horses and
| sheep" consists largely Of animals i'm
| ported for breeding purposes, and is
direct tax on the farmer. OF the item
'breadstuffS" all except 100000 is for
barley, which is beerstuff, and not
''breadStuff," as the Major%%put it. Re-
publican brewers will dwell with Joy on
this item. The word "fruits" includes
also all kinds of nuts. These
fruits and nuts mainly come from
the topics and do not compete with our
products. The tariff on them is tax
upon such farmers as use them and
prohibition against their enjoyment by
the poorer classes. The item of "vege-
tables" is in the same category. The
bulk Of them are brought from Ber-
muda and the West Indies in the win
ter. They are merely tax upon the
people who eat them. So with the
large item of tobacco" We cannot
grow many varieties of foreign tobacco,
and the tariff cannot alter climate, soil,
or the laws OF nature. The attention
of Major Mckinley and other smokers
is therefore tearfully called to the in
creased cost Of imported cigars.
LINENS-CoTToNs.

Tariff Diagram" to explain 1t.
Cotton goods of all kinds were in
creased, including printed goods, ready
made clothing, handkerchief, socks,
stockings, etc. A particularly high
duty was laid on the goods initiating
seal skin-a plush such as cloaks are
made of. These are work principally
by working women. Since the new
tariff passed, wages have almost univers-
ally been reduced in the cotton mills,
the latest reduction being by the great
Cotton Manufacturers Association of
Fall River, who have resolved
to cut ten per cent. upon all en-
ployeS In their immense manufactures.
Mr.. McKinley's campaign proceeded to
cut wages ten per cent. As an illustra-
tion Of the ability of the iron and stA,l
interests to contribute to the Cause
in Ohio it may be said that Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, an acknowledged authority,
estimates that the iron and steel con-
sumed in the United States for the past
ten years cost the Americans in excess
of the cost of the same materials to con-
sumers in Great Britain not less than
$500, 900, 900, or an an average of
$40, 900, 600 year, which is the sum
added because of our protective tariff.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE WHITE SLAVE.

BARLEY Campbell's masterpiece, 1.-THE
White Slave" will be seen at the Opera
House next Tuesday night for the first
time for several years. The cast is a
good one, and the Philadelphia Press
speaks as follows of recent enactment
of the play in the Quaker City: 1.-The
White Slave has seldom been more eff
fectiyely acted than it was by II. G.
Kennedy's company at the National
last night. The interest manifested by
the immense audience, both in the in
telligent performance OF the company
and the unusually picturesque staging
OF the play, was keen and answering
throughout. Miss Julia Stuart is new
in the part of Lisa but her persona
ton was highly creditable In every way,
and Milton Barlow, the well known
minstrel, made hit as job the negro
preacher.
''IRIsHMAN's LOVE"
There was large and delighted au-
dience at the Grand Opera House, last
evening, to witness the first perform
ance of 'Irishman's Love-" The comedy
has genuine merit, and the cast in
cludes some very clever people. The
Clipper quartette was great, particular
ly Mr.. Don, whose makeup was ex-
cruciatingly funny. Miss Lester, as
"Eilleen O'Donnell" was very salts
factory, as was also Maurice Holden as
"Mrs. Magee," Miss Ada Boshell is very
clever, and little Vallie Egan was
charming.
The comedy will be repeated this
evening, as benefit to Mr.. Woodson.
THE NEW ''MUGGs LANDING"
Those who enjoy COON hearty laugh
will find ample opportunity at the Grand
Opera House Monday and Tuesday
evenings. That laughing success
sMuggs Landing" will be the attraction.
The play has been entirely revised and
reconstructed and line of new and i'm.
