Our mission! Our duty! These words
would imply that something has
happened which calls for effort on

do not go TO church. Going to church
is not essential. but not going il

ADJUSTMENTS.


Tonight that clean, delicate and
wholesome society drama, The Charity
Ball" will be reviewed ~ Powers. The
presentation Of this play ID about per-
feet. The company have now been to-
gether nearly four seasons. and there
IS no evidence of monotony in their
WORK. The cast is the same as that
Snieh appeared here last season, in-
eluding Boyd Putnam.
The sale of sests for the appearance
OF the Emma Juch Opera Company
opened At Powers yests lay morning.
This viii lnde~d be the most monlen-
tous event IN the annals of the local
stage. Miss Jueh brings To thls city the
largest travelling company that has ever
appeared here, there being over one
hundred members. The expense of
maintaining such an organization must
be apparent, and the advance in prices
10 by no means unreasonable. The
opera "Cavallerla RustIcona," which is
now enjoying such popularity in New
York anu Boston, will toe presented,
preceded by TIE entire garden scene
from Faust"
TIE Wonderland is doing an excel
lent business this week. and this is as it
should be. as the entertainment is well
worthy OF patronage.
The Creoles turned them away again
last night at Smiths. Today the whoie
program Will be carefully and faithfully
repeated At the matinee.
The lovers of legitimate drama
should indeed view with felicity the
coming of that gifted actress, Minna
Gale, TO Powers next Monday and
Tuesday evenings. Miss Gale. sup
ported by the players who have sur
rounded Booth and Barrett for several
seasons past, will appear in "As You
Like IT. and Romeo and Juliet"
The next attraction at Redmond's
will. be romantic Irish play, entitled
"Myles Fadh." The engagement will
open Sunday evening. Seats are now
on sale at the box Office.
No more popular form of entertain
ment can be gwen In Grand Rapids
than burlesque. Manager Smith recog.
nizes this fact and he has several
combinations of this kind booked for
this season. The first on the list 10 the
Fay Foster Gaiety Company which
follows the Cleoles. The company IS
said to contain pretty girls. new spec
lalities and several travesties on popu-
lar operas hlI out the program.
The Whitney Mockridge concert
given at the Fountain-st. Baptist church
last evening Was the greatest musical
event for many months and WAS fairly
successful from financial standpoint.
The program which was published in
the Monday morning TELEGRAM-HER-
AID was admirably adapted to the
powers OF the artists and the numbers
were Enthusiastically applauded. A
more extended notice of the entertain
ment Will be given Sunday morning.

WHAT YOUR VOTE MEANS.

LAST November many republicans did
not vote, and some voted the demo-
cratic ticket, not because the Mckinley
bill was protection because in theory
they believed in protection), but be-
cause the Mckinley bill disturbed busi-
ness with "the fear OF change" There
vas, for a time, great business
disturbance. Prices were put up, not
for any solid reason, but because even
republican merchants not only wished
to make larger profits, but because
hardly anybody Was really certain what
the effect would be, and hence prudent
dealers wished to be on the "right side
of the market" Every new legisla-
ton that disturbs, or that threatens to
disturb business or currency, has this
same effect temporarily, and until ex-
perience shows what the effect will be;
though democratic Misrepresentation
greatly increased this effect last year.
The result was not condemnation of
the Mckinley bill, or of protection. it
was protest against disturbing busi-
ness-a strong outbreak of the conser-
vative "let things alone" feeIing-thst
feeling that makes the mass of men
rather bear the ills we have than fly to
others that we know not of. Business
has now settled down again under the
Mckinley bill. Business men now
know what to expect; they can
make calculations and investments
looking te the future few months
ahead without fear of change. The
feeling that was against the republicans
last year. il now IN favor of the repub-
Leans. For 1t is now the republicans
who propose to let bunnsss alone, and
the democrats who propose to disturb
business, both in regard 10 the tariff
and the currency. Mr.. Lawrence has
attacked the Mckinley bill, and signi-
fed MS purpose, and the purpose of the
democratic party, 10 repeal that bill,
and pass q tariff fer revenue only"
bill. that vii necessarily again unsettle
all business, aud make AL prices un-
certain. and all investments periIoas.
Sven II one believes in free trade, he
must know that the United States can
not change Suddenly from protection 10

turhanee OF business and Of prices, and

BIND Err TWlNe AND TRUSTS.

No Other article mentioned in the Nc
Ninley bill has had more changes rung
upon it by democratic and free-tradc
press than that oi binders twine. AS IL
is an article of common use by every
farmer who owns a harvester, the
small tariff placed upon it has afforded
our democratic friends a pretext for q
vast amount OF Misrepresentation, and
numerous hypocritical exhibitions OF In
uignation over the extra tax" placed
upon the long-suifering agriculturalist
by ''robber monopCiists."
Now what are the facts IN regard to
binder twine? 1t Is authoritively
stated that binder twine was sold at
Ii IL cents n pound in october, 1890,
when the Mckinley tariff took effect.
It Is NOW sold at IL cents. VIII some
tariff rciormer furnish a rational rea-
son for this decline without destroying
his own theory?
Raw materials for manufacturing
binder twine are duty free under the
Mckinley bill, and IL also reduced the
dnty on the twine Itself by about a.
Der cent. The farmers binding twine
is made of sisal or MANILA. Here is
what the new tariff did for these and
other similar raw materials:
