A Curious Incident Related at the Steam
boat Wharf
Last night was not one that a sooth-
sayer would characterize as propitious.
One would hardly mistake it for the
evening of a perfect day." But when
wine is in wit is out" and thereby hangs
a tale. The last steamer OF the Conti-
mental line had been ut her moorings
nearly an hour at her dock in this city.
The passengers had landed. Her ponder
Gus machinery had ceased to vibrate, and
the grimy stokers, worn with the tolls OF
the day, were extracting sweet repose
from their comfortable hunks. A form,
weird and ghostly, arose out OF the
shadow on her deck.
The man who cries. "Those who haven't
tickets will buy them here" had just ex-
tinguished the light in his box when this
apparition staggered out of the gloom
and reeled toward him. Assuming a
most sepulchral tone. the ticket dispenser
cried: Get your tickets here" John
Barley Corn. for sucn was his name,
paused prophetically. He had been
asleep. Yes, but what a sudden awaking.
He wasn't ready elmer to pro-
cure his ticket there. lie did not think
he was worthy. Balancing himself as
well ms possible on extremities that quiv-
cred with fear, he glanced upward whence
came this warning sound. Dark clouds
chased each other across threatening
sky. But dim glimpses OF celestial glory
were occasionally voucbsafed him.
His time had come, he thought. Sink
ing on his knees he begged most piteously
that the ''angel of the d iwn" would spare
him "a few days longer. Once more that
sepulchral sound was heard. This time
came no answering plea.
The apparation had sunken. limp and
lifeless on the cold, cold ground. He was
dead--drunk.

with the usual crescent arrangement of

are encouraged to tell all they know by
the interlocutor in the centre. Charles

of several local points and people and

considerable melody. attached to

"rho Child stealer" at Lothrop,s.

"The Child Stealer," a strong, five-act
English melodrama, was presented at
Lothrop's PROVIDENCE Museum yester.
day afternoon and evening. Large audi
ences were in attendance at both per-
formances. The piece was well staged,
under the persoual supervision of James
X. Keane. The play Is full of thrilling
incidents, situations and climaxes, while
through the entire production there runs
q vein of comedy that is one of tho pleas
ATTEST features Of the whole, and affords
ample opportunity for the comedians of
the company TO display their versatility.
The story Is similar TO the average melo-
dramatic romance. Miss Alice G Keane
as Jane Rutherford, the heroine of the
play, and James *. Keane as Daniel
Rutherford, her husband, are clever ar
lists. j. Uordon Edwards as Joe Simp-
son, Edwin Barry rs Lord Chesterton,
John Phillips as Jonathan Poynter, and
Richard Lyle as Nobby Nibble, carried
the drama along smoothly. The remain
ing support VAS good. THE Child
Stealer" will be repeated every afternoon
and evening during the week, and Is
worthy of crowded houses.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE HOUSE DEMoRALIZED.
New York Press.)

The decentralization of the Democrats
in the House of Representatives is COM
plete. With an overwhelming ma
jority of members the Democratic lead
ers were unable to secure even quorum
for several days last week. The des-
patch of legislative business was rem
dered impossible by absenteeism among
the dominant faction. Often when Dem
ocratic members were present they re-
fused to vote. Since the Speaker, under
the present rules, has no power to count
a quorum of members present, the action
of these men reduced the House to abso-
lutte impotence.
The necessity OF the common sense
rule under which Speaker Reed in the
Fifty-frst Congress counted as present
those Representatives who were actually
present whether they voted or not, has
been demonstrated more forcibly than
ever. The spectacle of Democratic dis
integration and helplessness at Washing
ton is instructive just now. It proves
once more the truth of the assertion that
the Democracy has the capacity only for
opposition and obstruction. The party
is cap able of checking national progress
and destroying national prosperity. 1t
does not know how to govern.

DEMOCRATS AND FREE SHIPS.

The passage by the House of bill for
the admission of ships of certain classes
free of duty will do no practical harm
because it is certain to meet with defeat
in the Senate. 1t is of much significance
however as showing what would come to
pass if the whole government were in con-
troll of the Democrats. Everybody knows
who has given the subject any thought
that the admission of foreign built ships
free of duty is entirely incompatible
with the existence of the ship building
industry in this country unless the wages
OF workingmen are to be greatly de-
creased. We annot build ships in this
country SO cheaply as abroad for
the reason that we pay our work
men much higher wages than are paid
along the Clyde. If foreign built
ships are now admitted free of duty one
of two things must inevitably happen,
either our shipyards must be closed up
or the wages paid to the men employed
in them reduced to the English standard
"a NfSA 1OWSls w ldO WUulQ
happen would be the abandonment of
the business altogether, with the conse-
quent turning out of employment of
large number of men who now earn re-
numerative wages. What do the Demo-
Gratis purpose to give in return for this
loss and disaster? Nothing but the
empty spectacle of lot of foreign
built ships flying the American flag, and
manned almost entirely by foreigners.
That is all the return we should get for
the closing up of our ship yards and the
turning of thousands of men out of en-
ployment. And if war should come af-
ter this policy had been in force num-
ber of years we should have no men who
understood the art of ship building, and
no men fitted to man our vessels. We
should be in fact almost entirely at the
mercy of foreigners. But the Democrats
tell us that this is craftsmanship, that
this is the true policy for the country to
adopt and that whenever they get control
of the whole government it will be
adopted
