AT THE THEATERS.

The ever popular Wilbur Opera COM
pany entered upon the eighth week of
its season last night. and the large au-
dience which gathered at the Metropoli-
tan testified to the fact that the well
established fame of the company is still
maintained. Audran's comic opera.
"Ihe Mascot" was presented in an adj
mirable manner by the entire company.
and the stage accessories, as in ali pres
entations by the Wilburs. were excel,
lent
kohnle as Prince Lorenzo, Susie Kir--'
win as the Mascot. Clark as Pippe..
DOnnelly as Rocco and Miss Mortimer
as Fiametta, carried their parts in
manner which highly entertained ana.
convulsed the audience. While "The
Mascot is not new, it has never been
presented better in st. Paul than it was
last evening. Miss Kirwin. always a
favorite, really eXcelled. while Kolf1rie
as the prince added to his previous
laurelS.
The same opera will be given the
next three nights and Wednesday mat
Inee, and Planquette's opera Nell
Gwynne" will bill the remaining three
nights of the week and Saturday mat
inee. =
Lifts players presented Augustin
Days drama of New York, "Under the
Gaslight," at the Grand last night. The
lines vary from the play as put on the
boards by other companies. This fact,
taken with such cast as that Of last
night, makes a great improvement on
the play as known heretofore in this
city. Those who have seen the present
atlonS by other companies felt last night
that the story WAS new, for the reason
that all the parts were taken by persons
that are artists worthy of being seen in
star parts. In the eight weeks that the
Lift players have been in this city
they have given succession of
plays that have been marvels
Of excellence, and merited better
patronage than the theater has had.
The house should have been crowded
every night, because the people very
rarely see such cast in this city. Each
week has seen a repetition of excellent
work, and the several ladies and gentle
men have grown more and more In the
favor of the citizens who love good act
ing. In all these weeks none have been
found to find fault; but. on the other
hand. the unanimous comment has been
complimentary.
The play this week is worthy of being
seen by everybody, and it is reasonable
to suppose that during the remainder of
the week there will be good audiences
to witness the excellent acting of For
rest Robinson, George Fawcett, Will
lam Lee, Horace Lewis, Charles Z.
Welles, Mabel Bert, Anna Robinson,
Florence Slower, as we'll as the acting
and singing of Bettina Gerard, who
take the principal parts, as well as sew
eral star actors that take MINOR parts.

VOICE FROM THE WEST.
A Loud Call for the Free Coinage
of Silver.

a Loud Gall Tor the Free coinage
of Silver.
To the Editor of the Globe.
SPOKANE, Wash, July 19.-As an old
ST. Paul man, and one who has lived in
different parts of the northwest tier of
states as much as l have, and conse-
quently in position to know whereof l
speak land do so without bias, 1 am
indignant at the attitude of the Pioneer
Press against silver.
ST. Paul merchants have derived i'm
mense benefits from the states men
toned, and doubtless hope to in the
future. and it is suicidal for them 10
oppose the free coinage of silver.
You may think from the tone of the
Western press, which shows the unani-
nous feeling of the people for free coin
age of silver, that it is done solely to aid
the Western mine owner, but the East
wants it as much as we do. and it is the
only thing that will save us ali from
ruin. This is not idle talk; it will come
as sure as fate unless decided stand is
taken against the gold shylock.
Hatch up as many reasons as you like,
the decentralization of silver in 1878 and
the consequent falling off, i'll part, of
our products, and the borrowing of so
much foreign capital to develop the
West, payable i'll gold, is what has
brought about these hard times.
Had we had free coinage since 1873
the West would be farther advanced
than it is and we would not have so
great mortgage Indebtedness, and
what there is of that would be payable
at home and not abroad. Our people
have been foolish to develop the West
with SO much foreign capital when we
had plenty of silver in our mountains
to do it with.
Give the nation free coinage of silver,
the now boarded gold, restless fer in
vestment, will leave its hiding place
and the nation will see better times
than it ever dreamed of. The great
West will develop rapidly aid with less
''boom" than formerly, and all will
have work at good prices and we will
hear less grumblIng. from the labOring
classes. There is no danger of having
too much money. No one ever Suffefed
by 1t. Nor never will. it
Of course, the goldbug shylOck won't
get so much interest for his gold, but lie
has wrought ruin enough already. 1t
has been his damnably high rate of
interest that has killed US so quickly
This is not political question. 1t is
a matter of life or death to large ma
jOrity of the people, both West and
East. sa'i
st. Paul, Minneapolis and the whole
state should form bmetallIc clubs ana

PARTIsAN-Nor A PATRIOT.

EX-President HARRISON INDUCES III
a lugubriouS interview. which stamps
HIM as violent partisan, sore over de-
feat, instead OF patriotic statesman,
ready to sink his personal grievances
for the good of the people.
Honored in the past by his fellow
citizens, he uses the prestige of his
former position to add. so tar as his ut
terances can accomplish that end, tC
the prevalent financial distress.
The SHERMAN act, which was dis
tinctive Republican measure, he eX-
cuSes, and charges the disturbance OF
business affairs to the Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago.
If the American people, or any con
siderable portion of them, have been in
doubt as to the advisability of substitute
ing GROVER CLEVELAND for BENJAMIN
HARRISON, the narrow, bigoted, par
tIsan utterances of the latter. published
in our news columns this morning,
should dissipate that doubt.
There is no sensible business man
who does not desire to see the country
in prosperous condition. 1t is not q
question of Democracy, Republicanism.
or POpulist theories which is in the
balance, but one of patriot SIN
1t is discreditable to him, and discred-
liable to the political party which once
favored him, that an ex-presideni
should seek 20 use the prestige of his de-
parted position to prolong the present
81 tua ton.
The conditions now existing are
simply a legacy handed down by the
Republicans to their successors, and
business men of all political shades OF
opinion are the sufferers.
That an impending reform of the rob-
Der tariff, inflicted on the people by a
Republican administration, is respon-
sible for the present business distress, is
both absurd and false.
1t would be time enough for Mr.. HAIR
RIsON to so assume when the Demo
cratic party has taken any action deUri-
mental to the business interests of the
country.
To assume that either Democrats or
Republicans do not desire to see bust
ness prosperity is partisanship run mad,
but BENJAMIN HARRISON seems desir-
Gus of being the prophet of such dis
pensaton. In so doing he reflects only
upon himself and the high position he
has held.
He prostitutes the honors bestowed
upon him in the past for the sake of a
hoped-for partisan advantage, and is en-
titled to and will receive the anathemas
of business men, regardless of political
differences.
The country is going through period
when patriotism, not politics. should
control. Only ghouls rub their hands
in glee to secure supposed partisan
advantage from the general public dis.
tress.
The Republican or Democratic bank.
er, merchant or manufacturer seeking
aid to tide over until more propitiouS
season will hardly be happy if such aid
were refused on the ground that ex-
President HARRISON advises against
the extension of assistance, on the
theory that the continuance or increase
of business distress will rebound to the
credit of his moribnnd administration
The utterances of Mr.. HARRISON
relegate him to the ranks of the small
men of the country, unfit to lead and
unworthy OF the trust he has held.
Statesmen are patriots.
PigmieS are partisans.

sTATEsNIANLIKE.

A New York paper claims to be able
to announce, by authority, that Presi-
dents CLEvELAND's policy for the
coming session of congress will be
First-Silver reform by the absolute
and unqualified repeal of the SHERMAN
law.
Second-Tariff reform to be pros
ecuted i'll accordance with the pledges
of the party as soon as, but not before,
the finances of the country are again
upon stable basis.
This is patriotic, and in marked con-
trast to the narrow utterances of the
man who preceded him in the presi-
dental chair.
First-Relieve the country.
Second-Inaugurat reforms which
will make relief permanent.

between the patriot president and the

less n site Is OHefeO Lower
May Report Nothing Done.
Shall the new capitol, provided for by
an act of the last legislature, be be-
gun before the next legislature meets?
This is query that is agitating the
minds of many men who worked ener-
getically to push through the bill pro-
viding for the securing of site and the
erection of capitol building that will
be adequate to the needs and the dig
nifty of the state of Minnesota.
The question has been raised by the
failure of the capitol commission to take
any action on the offers of sites made
when the bids were opened the latter
part of June.
Several of the commissioners, at the
time the offers were opened, expressed
the opinion that it would be folly to con-
slider them, as they were too high. 1t
will be remembered by those who have
kept III touch with the matter,
that the main objection against
the bill on the part of the country men,
bers of the Legislature was that the site
would cost so much that q suitable
building could not be erected with what
would be left of the S2,000,OO0 which
was the limit of the expense absolutely
fixed by the bill for site, building,
architects fees, advertising and super
vision of the erection of the building.
Now this condition confrontS the peo-
pie of Minnesota: A new capitol is
needed, and it cannot be erected in
ar, int in,
less than five years, as contemplated by
the bill. If large part of the $780,
600 is expended for site, then it is a
certainty that the next legislature,
or the one following, will be called on
to make an additional appropriation.
A move by the Ramsey county men,
DerS To secure the passage of a bill
carrying additional money for the pro-
posed new capitol will meet with
strenuous opposition, to judge from the
tenor of comment in the country press.
Further than this, the capital COM
mission is III anything but cOmplacent
mood at the outcome of proceedings
thus far taken. In conversation with a
GLOBE man one of the members of the
commission made bold to state that I'M
less the bidders for the site will cut
their bids In two there is a strong proba-
biilty that no further steps i'll the mat
ter will be taken until the next IegiS-
lature meets, when the commission Will
report that it has been unable to secure
site at reasonable price, and thus
throw the whole question back into the
legislature.
This contingency would be regret
table In the extreme, and might lead to
renewal of the tremendous fight made
last winter, when everything possible
was done to defeat the passage of the
for the erection of new capitol. 1t is
hoped that some sort of an agreement
can be made as to a site that will OBJ
waite the necessity of carrying a new
capital bill through the next legislature.

THE BRAIN OF AN ANT.

1t IS Small, But 1t Contains Won
derful Amount OF Intelligence.
Harpers Young People.
Although an ant is tiny creature, vet
its brain is even timer. But although
it is necessarily smaller than the ants
head which contains it, yet it is larger
IN proportion, according to the ants
size. than the brain of any known
creature. This we can easily believe
when we read of this insects wonderful
powers. The quality of instinct or sa-
gacty does not fully explain some of
the stories told about them.
The best writer's upon ants. those who
have made the astonishing intelligence
of these little insects special study,
are obliged to admit that they display
reasoning ability. calculation, reflection
and go0d Judgment. Such qualities OF
brain show more than ordinary instinct,
and we are not surprised to hear that
the ants brain carries out our idea that
he possesses Il higher intelligence than
is shown by other workers of his size.

Patronize Home institutions.

Long Prairie (Minn.) Argus.
Some of our exchanges are just now
engaged IN preaching a sermon to the
business men and people generally in
the community III which they are pub
liShed OH the subject of patronage.
Many business men have fallen into the
habit of sending away for work they
could easily get done at the home office,
and the small amount they thus save
does not pay them for the curtailment
of the enterprise of the home paper. 1t
is worth something TO town TO have
live and prosperous paper, and Such all
enterprise can't exist without patron
age. A poor, half-Staryed sheet is
detriment to any town. and if every
business man sends his work
away because he can save
few cents no local paper can
flourish. 1t requires all the legiti-
mate work it can find to keep a paper
up. In Long Prairie there are two
newspapers second to none in the North
west in any town of Thousand people.
Both offices are equipped with material
for doing job work. and the work of
this community belongs to them by
rights. 1t requires constant as we'll us
hard work, and considerable expense to
Leep these papers up, and it can't be
done without patronage.

horse was killed. and Ackley when
picked up was unconscious. McDer-

was taken to the city hospital and att
tended by DR.. Cool. Up to midnight he
had not regained consciousness, and
little hope Is entertained that he will
recover. Coroner Whitcomb was sum-
moned when the accident occurred. but
as the man was not killed he could do
