you ARE RIGHT"

The Louisville Courier-Journal COM
menting on the editorial in the GLOBE
recently under the caption Faced To-
wards Free Trade" says:
The whole tariff fabric is tax on
imports, supported by reciprocity treat
les and subsidies for sugar planters and
steamships.
The foundations are not simply
shaken; they are shattered. The tariff
is tax; that is plain.
It is a tax paid by tie consumer;
that, too, is plain.
If you buy an imported article the
tax goes to the government; that is all
right.
If you buy domestic article 1t goes
to some millionaire; that is altogether
wrong.
The remedy? A tariff for revenue
only.
But that, properly interpreted, means
free trade? Most certainly. The Demo-
cratic party has turned the face of the
country toward free trade, and it will
certainly reach that land of Canaan.
The American people will not much
longer submit to system of taxation
called industrial stocks, which are just
now causing such CONSERVATION in Wall
street.
What are these industrial stocks?
They are mortgages on future earn
ingS of various monopolieS, organized
under the name Of trusts.
Here is the "modus operandi:"
One, two, five or ten factories are do
ing well, earning because of the tariff
25 per cent.
They are organized into trust. AS
6 per cent is the average return on good
stocks, the combination is capitalized on
that basis. First per cent mortgage
bonds to the full value of the property
are issued. Then preferred stock is is
sued sufficient TO absorb the remaining
earnings.
Then common stock is issued equal in
amount to absorb in small dividends the
anticipated increase of earnings because
of higher prices and lower cost of pro-
duction.
That is the genesis of the so-called
industrial stocks; called ''industriaP'
because the industry is the manufacture
of tissue paper securities to satisfy the
greed of the innocent lambs who live
for the enrichment of Wall street.
Yes. ore can read in the daily report
from the stock exchange that the whole
foundation Of the tariff system is
shaken.
The walls are dangerous and must
come down.

ST. PAUL AUDITORIUM.

admirably arranged. the lights will
illuminate the interior Of the building
in most satisfactory manner, and it is
one of the most acceptable buildings Of
the kind ever conStru ctad for the pur-
poses to which it has been assigned. 1t
has all been done at about one-half the
cost of the immense Chicago barn,
which was specially constructed for the
holding of the convention last summer,
and which was built in such a manner
that the rain dripped down through the
roof, poured in over the floor and came
through the sides In immense sheets.
The people of ST. Paul are now in a
position to make arrangements for any
large gathering or convention, and those
who attend will find everything ar
ranged in the most convenient manner
possible. Every seat in the immense
hall gives an excellent and unObStruct-
led view of the stage, and thousands Of
comfortable chairs take the place OF the
benches commonly considered the prop
er thing.
This new and admirably adapted
building will be thrown open to the
public this evening, at which concert
will be rendered by the st. Paul and
Minneapolis choral societies. Some of
the most popular singers in the world
will be present, and take part IN the
programme, which will be the finest of
the kind witnessed In the city for a
number of years. There will be a
chorus of $50 voices, accompanied by an
immense orchestra Of forty-five inStru-
ments. The orchestra is under the
leadership of Samuel A. Baldwin, and
it will be composed of the finest must
clans in Minneapolis and st. Paul. Fol-
lowing is the programme for the even

THE LOCAL STAGE.

Anything Comedian Crane does is well
done, but "On Probation is not the best
thing he has in stock. Some years ago the
same comedy was put on here by him and
given brief season, but it was withdrawn
and put through little revamping that has
greatly improved it, 1t was given in its re-
vised form at the Metropolitan last evening.
before good audience. "On Probation"
can be criticised only in the light of Mr..
Cranes other work, or rather his other plays.
for what he does is beyond cayil. But the
play does not offer to his great and peculiar
talents the same scope and opportunities
given in, for instance, The senator" 1t one
had not the other plays for comparison, ''On
Probation" would not suffer, for it is a good
enough evenings amusement for anybody
1t is a comic work in three acts, and
it deals principally with Jonathan
Silsbee, a Chicago millionaire travelling
through Europe with his fianeee, who
has placed him on probation for q year, and
his sister. who bothers him good deal, and
of whom he is very much afraid. He has one
big fault. that OF flirting, and he casts sleeps
eyes at every pretty girl he meets. When his
betrothed acquaints him with this fact he
answers that he cannot help flirting because
he was born that way. There are several very
pretty scenes in the play and the interest in
it is never allowed to flag. The first act takes
place at Hotel Splendide in Paris, and the re-
naming two acts in a hotel in Switzerland.
The scenery is pretty, and the cast a capable
one. Miss Collier. Jonathan's sweetheart;
Mrs. Foster, his sister; MIR. Backus, T. pie-eat-
ing Brazilian; Miss Anne O'Neill his wife;

Mr.. Sheridan is host in himself, and

by his neat and clever portrayal of the char
acter of Widow O'Brien. The players in this

Now that the city of st. Paul is pro-
vided with public hall and auditorium
capable of holding an immense number
of people, those who scoffed at the idea
of such a thing being possible without
the expenditure of vast amount are
convinced of the assertions made by the
publlc-spirited men who proposed the
plan.
Had the men who made the objections
to the attempts to secure the Demo-
cratic convention for ST. Paul been gov
erned by the advice of those who knew
such a thing to be possible, the CITY
would have benefited greatly by the Sc
curing of the convention with its thou
sands of visitors.

HAKRIS EXECUTED.

CARLYLE w. HARRIS has paid the
penalty Of his awful crime. This is one
of the very few cases in American
criminal annals in which the mill of
justice has ground surely in the face of
the heartrending appeals of a mother
and the most gigantic efforts of sympa-
thetic people. There are not probably
half a dozen instances on record in this
country during the past forty years in
which an educated and refined person
has been executed for murder. The
steady and certain course of the New
York court which tried HARRIS and
the firm stand taken by Gov. FLOWER,
meet the highest approval Of all sound
minded, law-abiding Americans, and
the case will go down in history as a
credit TO New York. Barely has the
press of the country taken so much in
tereSt in murder trial, and it is most
gratifying to note the unanimity with
which the great dailieS have commended
the final condemnation Of the accused
A very few Of the minor papers were
afflicted with the sickly sentiment which
has SO often saved the lives of the
basest murderers, and, as usual. the
most of these were very poorly informed
upon the evidence produced against
HARRIS.
Some of the latter papers have assert
ed that HARRIS was convicted only upon
circumstantial evidence. Had the edi-
tors read the evidence they would know
that it was proven by positive evidence
that on Jan. 20 HARRIS procured at
drug store six capsules, each of which
contained one-sixth of a grain of NOR
phine and four and a half grains of
quinine, and that he induced her to
take four of these capsules. He being
a doctor, she naturally had faith in his
recommendation. The motive for TAX
ing her life was very strong. and also
clearly proven. The evidence was not
circumstantial, but positive, as any one
who had taken the pains to follow the
trial might know; but the sickly senti-
ment is so prevalent in this country that
people seem to prefer to be misinformed
III order to imagine facts which should
clear the accused.
If every murder trial could be tried
as fairly and surely as this one was
there would soon be great decrease of
murderers. HARRIS, without question,

"How about Philadelphia" inquired
one of Mr.. Greene's friends, who
was an interested listener. "Off
to Philadelphia is one of Plum
kett Green's own musical creations, and
he has sung it as an encore before de-
liz hted thousands in the Eastern cities,
and the song is now OH the lips of every
body in New York, Boston and Balti-
more"
The great baSso smiled meaningly as
he replied: "Oh, Philadelphia is all
right"

hearsals today. and will sing five of his

THE AUDIroRIUM OPENED.

The Auditorium, in which the MILLS
reviYals are to be held, is completed,
and is a magnificent demonstration of
what st. Pau4 business men can do
when they set cut to accomplish q
thing. The rOfm is supplied with 5000
chairs, arranged so that their occupants
will not crowd leach other, and there is
standing room Ienough for at least 1000
people. The acoustic qualities are
good, and the rb0m has neat and COM
Portable appearance. There are many
large exits, anGin case of fire the largest
audience could quickly reach the streets.
The building cost less than $1,000, and
has gone up in about SIX weeks, in the
face of snow storms aud rains.
This accoml Iishment is a striking
refutation of the arguments used by
some of ST. PauPs croakerS against
making an effoft to secure the National
Democratic convention. When the en-
terprising menip on foot a movement
to secure the convention the croakers
spent much OF their time upon the
streets and elsewhere proclaiming that
1t would be an utter lmpoSsibility to re
arrange the market house or put up a
wgwam in tipe for the convention.
They succeeded in dividing the seDti-
ment to such az extent that the movers
became almost discouraged.
The movement to secure the conven-
ton was begun six months before the
convention was held, and we had ample
time, as we kniw now, to put up per-
manent AUDITORIUM sufficiently large to
hold the people, When ST. Paul made
bid for the convention, the national
committee confronted our men with the
statements of dur own people that we

believed that he could take her life in
this way with perfect safety. He was
we'll informed, and fully alive to the
difficulties under which the prosecution
of such eases labor, especially where
the accused is educated and promi-
nently connected. He counted upon
his prominence and the American ten
dency to sympathy, and had thousand
chances to one of winning; he simply
drew the one chance.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that the
time will come when the fate OF the
murderer will not depend upon his edu-
cation, refinement, prominence and in
fluence. but only upon the question OF
his guilt. When that time arrives we
shall probably see more of these fellows
receive their just deserts. and hear of
very many less murders.
