A Novel Way 60 Brighten or the
Birds

At certain season OF the year, swal-
lows and martins In great numbers light
In the shade trees at the Naval Acade-
my, and are very annoying in the way
Of littering the side walks. Some years
ago the watchmcn were ordered to fire
a volley or two into the trees in order
to drive them away, and they were
slaughtered by the hundreds. Many Of
them being wounded would fly and fall
into the Severn where they would be
washed ashore. This plan was thought
to be too cruel and 1t was abandoned,
and more novel plan tried this year,
that of placing small bells in the tops of
the trees which makes a noise as they
light, and frightens them off.

The Chicago & Alton railroad has Sc
cured reduced rates for delegates to the
Cincinnati conference, of one fare for
the round trip. These delegates and
the people they represent Will not soon
forget the roads that favor them in this
matter. We expected more of the AL
ton than we did of any other road, and
recent developments show that we were
not mistaken. The G. & A. was built
on honest principles, and has regard
for the interests of the people. We
we're living in its territory when that
line was built through Missouri, and
we know the road never cost the people
a dollar, though that company had a
chance TO make hundreds of thousands
of dollars by defaulting ON its bonds
The company bought its stock from the
subscribers, paying 12l per cent. pre-
MUM. and those who had subscribed
tn help build the road, with the expec.
tation of paying for their stock and
then losing it, were agreeabIy surprised
at an offer from the company, after the
road was built, to give them back theil
notes and handsome premium for the
stock which they had supposed would
be worthless.

THE WEST AND THE SOUTH.

When the Proper Time Arrives They VIII
Present United Front to the Eastern
PlutOcracy.
President McGrath's letter, which has
received such wide publicity because of
its declarations respecting the future
course of the Kansas membership in
case the southern alliance should not
participate in the organization of a new
party at Cincinnati, has precipitated a
newspaper discussion which does not
seem to us to evince a very thorough
understanding of the situation either
north or south. President McGrath ex-
hibits very slight understanding of
the sentiment of the people of Kansas
when he declares that the state will
again roll up it's old time republican
majority unless the south shall abandon
the democratic party. The present po-
litical complexion of Kansas is the re-
suit of education. The changes have
been wrought by study of economic
questions, such as has no precedent in
the previous history of our country.
Realizing the unfavorable conditions of
the industrial classes the people have
succeeded in tracing the causes of these
conditions to their source, and the
political revulsion witnessed in the
past year is based upon intelligence
and mature Judgment 1t is as much
impossible for the people of Kan
sas to return to the ranks of
the party that is so largely responsible
for their deplorable condition as it
would be for Niagara to turn back
ward in its course. They are impeled
in this forward movement by the ir-
resistable forces which underlie all
progress. The intelligence of the
world does not retrograde; and revo-
lutionary step once taken is not re-
traced. The republican party in Kan
sas is both dead and damned. The
peoples party has come to stay. Nc
Grath is not authorized to speak for the
voters of Kansas
But what of the south? 1t may be
observed that few of the officials of
the southern alliance do not represent
the settlement of the people. We know
this to be true in the state of Missouri.
and we have good reason to believe il
to be true in southern states. We re-
ceive at this Office quite a number OF
southern papers that are outspoken in
favor of new party; and,
anxiously watching the attitude
of the people, we have observed a
rapidly growing sentiment in that di.
rection. But aside from any and all
declarations upon the subject, he who
desires to know the truth respecting the
| future of the southern alliance will look
deeper than these surface indications
to discover it Those who seem to be
most certain of the continued allegiance
of the membership of the south to the
democratic party will not deny the
loyalty of those people to the principle.
of the alliance. In both the St Louis
and Ocala supreme councils the south.

THAT TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.

AS one of the most unpopular feat
ures of the Mckinley act is the tax on
the workingman's dinner can, the re-
publican organs have been endeavoring
to palliate 1t by series of mendacious
statements about American tin" and
It's wonderful progress. In the New
Y ork Times recently an importer, who
is thoroughly conversant with the sub
-ject, exposes the fallacy of such state
ments. According to. his testimony,
there is but one mill that Is manufac-
turing American tin plate for the mark
ct, and its output amounts to nothing
for the purpose of consumption, be-
sides being of high grade, for which
there is little demand. OF the brands
of tin that supply the bulk of the de-
mand, none are made in this country.
1t is known to the trade that for sever
al years there will be no supply OF
American tin worthy of consideration
as competitor against the English
product. The tin plate section of the
McKinly tariff goes into effe on July
LIST, and in anticipation, the English
producers have run up the price about
81 box on all standard brands. I'm
ports in this line are heavier than ever
as importers dread still greater increase
in price. All the houses in the business
are loading up with English tin at ad-
vanced prices, sufficient proof that
they have no faith in the home tir
plate industry. There never was g
greater outrage. perpetrated on the
poor than this Mckinley tax on tin
1t bears particularly heavy on the peo
pie who are least able to stand it. AnG
yet republican organs have the assur
ance to claim that all this is done fol
the benefit of American industry and tC
help the workingman. 1t is a queer
method to encourage labor in this coun
try by making the nscessaries of life
dearer and by adding to the many
grievous burdens of the poor. The
Mckinley tariff does not keep out Eng
liSh tin, but only makes 1t more expen
sive. 1t is the veriest farce on protec.
ton.

NOT ROASTING OF III.

K. G. Gazette: There are 500, O6S
dealers in manufactured tobacco in the
United States, who since May l, are re-
lieved from the duty of registering with
the internal revenue bureau and pay
ing $40 tax. The republican party
took it off in spite of strenuous demo-
cratic opposition. 1t makes a differ
ence of $l6,0 00, 900 annually to the men
who paid it,
Wichita Eagle: That's right. And
if the remission of the tax had the eff
feet to reduce the cost of the luxury to
the consumers to that extent it would
be all right; but it does not. The only
benefit resulting from the new regula-
ton is to put $16,000,O 900 annually into
the pockets of the dealers at the expense
of the people, which to our mind is not
a very big thing 20 boast OFF,

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

What Has Caused the Vast AccumuIat ton
of Indebtedness in the Last Twenty
Years.
Superintendent Porter in his Extra
Census Bulletin" of April -, 1891, makes
this statement:
Inquiries were IN de in l02 counties for the
purpose of learning how much remains I'M
paid upon every uneancelIed mortgage re-
corded as far back in time as any appreci-
able am cunt of debt Is found TO exist-psen-
orally twenty years
Will some of our good friends who
have been telling us about the great
prosperity of our county in these latter
days and its rapid increase in wealth,
please tell us why there was no debt of
IAN appreciable amount" twenty years
ago, and what are the causes that have
led to the vast incumbrance upon the
homes of the people at the present
time? Who will answer the question?
This statement of the superintendent of
the census is full of significance and
we present it as a topic worthy of a
more candid study and discussion than
it is likely to receive at a time when
the press of the country is SO carefully
guarded with reference to the political
effect of whatever it may publish. To

The assessment of Barber county
toward the Worlds Fair is $6Oe. 1t is
easier to assess than to collect the
amount. The alliance house passed a
bill appropriatlng $4,000 to this object,
but the republican senate killed the
bill to keep democrat from being ap-
pointed on the board. Now, if anybody
wants to put up any private money fol
the Chicago show we have no objec-
tions. The state may pay the money
back, and it may not. It VII depend
on how it is spent.

SOUND SENSE.
We Must Have More and Cheaper Money
Before We Can Have Free Trade.

We Must Have More and Cheaper Money
Before We Can Have Free Trade.
When Mr.. Cleveland, in his recent let
ter to an Indiana tariff reform club,
made the statement that the scarcity
of the circulating medium" is the result
of tariff taxation, he gave another evil
dence of his ignorance of both the his
tory of his country and of those polite
al and economic questions now before
the people. Had he been properly In
formed as to the effect of the tariff of
1916, which, by turning the balance
of trade against us, drained the
country of it's money in order
to settle balances and there
by precipitated the disastrous panic of
1857, such crude and ill-timed express
sions would not have fallen from his
pen. The head of the democratic party
should not forget the circumstance
which compelled a democratic admin
istration to resort to the oppressive
necessity of borrowing money at IL per
cent interest in order to meet the cur
rent expenses of government.
Before this, from 1880 to 1887, the
same causes produced similar results.
In four years our imports rose from
S62, 900, 900 to S10S, 900, 900. Money was
taken from the country in order to meet
this advance in trade, and then came
the dark days of 1887, which all have
heard of and many still live to remem-
Der. The experiment which Mr. Cleve-
land would be glad to force us to try
once more needs a different state of
things from these he seems willing to
assist in creating in order to meet with
any better results. In this, as
in most other matters, both
the old parties. through their recog-
nized leaders, are constantly endeavor-
ing to put the 'cart before the horse. {"
The first reform on the list is financial
reform. Without this even the slight
est change in our business or CONNER
cial relations will bring confusion and
disaster. If Mr.. Cleveland, and a few
other political frauds belonging to both
old parties, will just stand out of the
way and give the country rest from
their senile twaddle the anti WalTAtreet
influence viii soon settle these ques-
tons to the satisfaction of all concerned.

4 NEW YORK FIRE.
The Firth Avenue Theater and Many otheI
Buildings Destroyed-Six Firemen Re
ported Killed.

The Fifth Avenue Theater and Many other
Buildings Destroyed-Six Firemen Re-
ported Killed.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Fifteen minutes
or so after Fanny Davenport, In the
character of Cleopatra, had left the
boards of the Fifth Avenue Theater and
the audience had passed out Of the
Broadway and Twenty-eighth street en-
frances last night watchman ran out
of the theater screaming fire" A few
seconds later fire engines were dashing
up Broadway and until nearly o'clock
this morning still more detachments
were responding to additional signals
for help.
What was at first believed to be q
false alarm proved to be one that de-
stroyed whole block upon Broadway,
besides the Fifth Avenue Theater, Herr
mann's new play house and dozen
stores and threatened the Sturtevant
House, on the east side of Broadway
between Twenty-eighth and Twenty
ninth streets.
The fire had been burning less than
half an hour before the flames shot
through the roof, causing the widest
CONSERVATION among the guests Of the
Brewer House on the northeast corner
and the Sturtevant House. The shower
of sparks which covered the pavement
of Broadway also set fire to the avn
ings of the latter and communicated to
Hermann's Theater. To add to the con-
fusion there were six explosions in the
Fifth Avenue Theater, which blew the
rafters sky high, and these set fire to
the roof of the buildings surrounding.
The first of the series of explosions
which are thought to have been caused
by the bursting of gas tanks, came very
near being a serious affair for dozen
or more fremen under the leadership
of Battalion Chief McCabe, who were
working in the auditorium of the Fifth
Avenue Theater.
There were several lively scenes In
the Brewer House, but there was nc
panic. The front of the Fifth Avenue
is of iron and as the beams vanished II
was feared it would fall out and crush
Evarard's bath house on the south side
of Twenty y-eighth street, but the walls
are still standing.
According to the Herald six fremen
lost their lives by the fire in the Herr
mann Theater. The Herald story is as
follows: six fremen had gone
through Herrmann's Theater to the
roof and had just succeeded in hosting
a length of hose up when the furnace
opened directly at their feet. Five
of them could not be seen from
the street, but one stood outlined
against the sea of flame that rose from
the burning buildings. A shout was
made for scaling ladders by the firemen
on Broadway, but before they could be
procured the fremen was seen to take a
farewell look at the crowd below and
then to deliberately walk into the
flames and disappear"
