Surprssed.

Among the many stories that Pal.
grave Simpson told me, says writer.
was one about his first start as a
dramatist. He used to live in Bromp-
ton after his return from Paris, where
he had been a pupil of the great
Scribe. He was of striking appear
ance, with long black hair and a
mustache. and used to wear cloak.
During his walks abroad he came
across a lady who seemed to shrink
from him as if she feared him. One
day he was passing by Thurloe square,
and gave penny to crossing sweep
er, and hearing cry OF establishment
turned sharply around. The excla-
nation came from the opposite side
OF the road. 1t emanated from the
lady who had so frequently exhibited
signs Of apprehension at his approach,
and who now seemed astounded at
his little act of philanthropy. Soon
after this meeting, armed with a
letter of introduction, he took piece
to theater in the Strand to read to
one of the management. The author
did his best, and the reading went
off we'll. At the conclusion the man
ager said:
"And now, Mr.. Simpson, you must
allow me to introduce you to my
mother"
Il shall be delighted, said Pal
grave.
AT this moment lady entered the
room, in whom my friend recognized
the stranger he had seen in Thurloe
Square.
This is Mr.. Palgrave Simpson, who
has been reading me a most amusing
farce" said the manager.
The lady appeared to be in the last
stage of establishment.
Good gracious!" she exclaimed:
"why. it is the benevolent brigand!"
"There Was Man In Our Town." IS

falling from an OK cart, and while on
the way to neighboring lawyers his
horse twitched the sleigh in some
way SO that the shoulder was forced

SHERMANiS PLEDGE.

everybody knows that Senator SHERMAN.
OF Ohio, is one of the coolest-headed. and
most seif-possessed protectionists in the
Republican party. But perhaps it has been
forgotten that in the debate on the tariff
bill he hoped that manufacturers would
avoid tie big contracts and trusts that gave
cause for popular discomfort and that on
the contrary they would invite fair COM
petition and give the people the benefit of
business rivalry and of cheaper production.
lie declared then that if they did not do
this he would be las ready to vote for the
repeal of the law as he was at that time to
vote for its PASSAGE
Ine immediate matter under discussion
when this was said was the duty on bind
Ing twine, and it was a confession that the
nigh duty was an encouragement to the
manufacturers to organize trusts to take
advantage of the farm ers, and that the high
duties on other manufactures encourages
similar combinations to keep up prices.
Inc opponents of the tariff have repeatedly
charged this, and alleged that the high pro-
tecdive system is the parent of the trusts
and combinations, since it discourages the
lofelga manufacturers and gives the home
manufacturers monopoly of the market.
The Ohio Senator two years ago hoped
the manufacturers would not do SO any
more, and yet be voted promptly for a bill
which gave them premium of 80 per cent
on the real value of their goods to keep on
doing so. They have accordingly kept on,
and the consequence has been that since
the passage of the MCKINLEY act thus sup
ported and with the mild threats of such
advocates as SHERMAN before them, the
manufacturers have organized more trusts
and heavilymonied combinations than
were in existence before. In no branch
have the cords been bound tighter than in
this very cordage trust, making binder
Irvine. But where are the remonstrances
of the Ohio Senator, now? Has he uttered
one syllable from his seat in Congress
| against the grasping designs of these mon.
opolistss Has he given one word of en-.
couragement to any proposition to restore
twine to the free list: Has he made one
protesting gesture to restrain the encroach
ments OF the rich capitalists No. On the
other hand he indorses the policy of the
President not to disturb the MCKINLEY
tariff and he cheers the Republicans on the
ways and means committee, who ''by 6
strict party vote, " resist reform.

OKLAHOMA.

1t is only little more than two years
ago that the President and the secretary
Of the interior INDUCED in patriotic con-
gratulations on the inspiring illustrations
of Americanism shown in the almost in
Simultaneous occupation and settlement of
the new territory of Oklahoma. The very
day the troops were removed and the terri
tory thrown open 10000 eager and impa-
tlent claim seekers poured into it, and
Oklahoma became a living part of the
Union. But the picture that the new re-
gion presents to-day is not so pleasing and
attractive. Stalking off quarter sections
and putting up shanties in cluster and
calling them a city, or fighting over county
seats and capital locations is not
founding a state as thousands of
persons in Oklahoma have found to
their grief. The truth is, these sud
den and wild irruptions into new regions
are nearly always followed by hardship
and restitution, as the settlement of the
Dakotas as well as Oklahoma, demon
strates. Oklahoma is not to be compared
with Utah in the advantages it offers to
farmers, and a quarter section of land
here, in a good location, is cheaper than a
whole section at any price in that region,
subject, as it is. to drouths and hot winds
that are the scourge of western and south
ern Kansas and whereabouts. What was
called the land of promise two years ago
has turned to be a land of disappointment
and restitution. Yet the prospect of state
| hood gives Oklahoma standing before the
outside world and is an encouragement to
the spectators and land agents who are
profiting by the agitation.

ing hobos at election time. Mr.. POWERS was
before the committee for the purpose
of opposing the Home Rule bill, and as we
wade through his interminable speech we
fail to find single point" urged against
the passage of the bill. He assailed Mr.
SMITH with venom, and endeavored to
make it appear that Governor WEST was
insincere in his present attitude by read
ing some musty reports made by the gov
ernor in years agone; but what any or all
of this has to do with the question OF Home
Rule for Utah does not appear. 1t is i'm
material what Mr.. SMITH said about Judge
MINER. 1t cuts no figure whether Judge
MINER is the most upright Of judges and
the most learned of lawyers, or the reverse.
1t doesn't signify that four or five
years ago Governor WEST was opposed to
granting local self-government to Utah.
The question now is, are the people of this
territory prepared and qualified, intellec-
tually, financially and otherwise for home
rule! That question Mr.. Powers did not
attempt to answer, but devoted his address
entirely to other and immaterial matters,
delivering just such speech as he has read
from platforms in this city many times.
The HERALD is pleased to think Judge
Powers has done the Home Rule cause no
injury, and to believe that his course has
| increased the chances of the passage of the
FAULKNER bill.

goes on to say that the hand of this "the-

against the state. If what these dignitaries
of the Mormon church declare about their
loyalty is sincere-and the governor, the
Utah commissioners and other high Gentle
authorities say it is-what ground has
Powers or any other Liberal to stand on!
The fact is. the spokesman for the oppo-
sition to Home Rule gave the case away
when he declared that the fight against the
Mormons was no longer on account Of
polygamy, but the alleged un-American
character of their position as holding the
church above human law; and even in this
he likened them to Catholics, Methodlsts
and PresDyteriaus.

AS THE HERALD predicted, the Canadian

AS THE HERALD predicted, the Canadian
reciprocity negotiations have fallen
through. The Canadians are anxious to
have reciprocal trade with US, but the
tariff laws will not allow it. the MCKIN-
LEY act imposes penalties, in the shape of
duties. on American citizens for buying
Canadian commodities; and the Canadians,
in retaliation, impose penalties on them
selves for buying our commodities-and so
both parties suffer by restrictions on an
intercourse that ought to be free and with
out instructions. 1t is curious illustra-
ton of how two countries, lying alongside,
buy and sell the same articles to one an
other; that Canada buys bitumlnous coal
and coke from US, and we buy pituminous
coal from Canada. The Canadians take
tens of thousands of tons from US, and We
would take twenty times as much as we do
from them but for the penalty our tariff
imposes on the trade.

SMITH, of Ogden, had not previously ad-
dressed the committee. We fear the boss
