THEATRICAL COMPANIES EXPENSES
What it Costs the Ordinary Combina- tion to Play in Waterbury.

What 1t Costs the Ordinary Combina- tion to Play in Waterbury. Did you ever stop to consider the ex- pense which a travelling theatrical com
 pany will incur in playing in city of
 this size. Of course the expenses vary with the size of the company, and the salaries of it's people, but take the aver age company, say one with twelve peo- pie.
 The cost to take such a company
 through the country is not less than
 $250 a day. Of course the manager has
 mileage book. The jumps from one
 town to another will average fifty miles.
 There is fifty dollars for fares.
 The cost of transporting property
 boxes, trunks and scenery,
 with transfer, will amount
 to twenty dollars and perhaps more. The salary list during the stay in Wa terbury, and the hotel bill, will take eighty dollars more. The company dis plays good paper, and it will cost not less than fifty dollars to bill city of this size. The advanceman's expenses and the other incidentals will take another twenty dollars, and with all these paid there isn't enough left of the two one-hundred dollar notes to buy the leading lady's face powder. But the cost of hiring the theatre, heat, light, license, printing, stage help and other incidentals which the local manage ment furnishes if the company plays on shares, has not been considered at all.

DUN & CO. HOWL CALAMITY

R G.. Dun & Co., the New York
financial statisticians, have been forced
to come out with the truth at last. For
years their weekly reports have been
good" ''better," ''best." Although
the commercial failures amounted to
over Is, 600 last year this trade agency
still cried prosperity" But the truth
was forced last week, when they said:
More disheartening conditions have
prevailed during the past week, and
those who saw the beginning Of perma-
nent recovery in the better tone a week
ago, are disappointed. The money
market has been closer, especially in
the interior, and manufacturing and
trade is more affected than before.
Some important failures have occurred,
including one bank at Milwaukee, Gold
has gone out again in large amounts,
! exports for the week being about So
600, 900, and the treasury gold reser4 e
| has been drawn down to about $50, OOO,-
600. In nearly all departments of trade
| uncertainty about the future has a de-
pressing influence, which is now clear
" perceived in the decrease of new
| business, and while most manufactur-
ing works r yet employed on full
| orders, as they run out the number Of
works closed Increases"
Then follows a long list of all the i'm
portant cities in the country, which re-
ported dull trade, money tight and fail
ures numerous. When those who make
| a living by hiding the truth are forced
to tell it, times are really critical. This
proves that we have been telling the
truth all the time, but it was disputed.

Alliance Democrats Getting Relief -Mr
Watterson's Narrow Escape
Cutting their Eye Teeth.
,"Hellol Mr.. Editor.

B.-"HelloI Mr.. Editor"
R.-"Hello! Major. Any news?"
B.-"Not a bit. Say, I wanter know
Their meanin' ov some things whuts
goin' on. How comes it that so many
Alliance Democrats are gettin' offs?
Looks like they all carry rabbit feet
along in their pockets"
R-'There are several reasons. One
is they howIed calamity SO hard before
they got Office that the powers that be
thought they were real objects of
charity"
Blocks ter me like they oughter
voted fer relief an then all could have
had a chance at relief. This thing ov
howlin' calamity and only gittin' relief
fer half a dozen or so don't pay much.
I see it reported that DR.. Sanderlinhas
been appointed Auditor fer the second
time. Whut does that mean?"
R.-'That is a new wrinkle. The
people generally are getting impatient,
The report that some fellow has got an
office now and then dent satisfy the
people and the administration has
adopted the plan of appointing the
same man two or three times to make
the people feel rich more than one day
in the week. About week after next
DR.. Sanderlin will be appointed again
for the benefit Of the public"
BIT wanter know whut is the mat
ter with Mr.. Watterson? I heard sum
time ago that he had gone back on the
people and was endorsin' ov Cleveland.
But me an Betsy cum up ter Raleigh
an herd his speech the other night an
he talked so much like JON Jefferson
used ter talk that I fell in love with
him. he an Betsy was afeared sum
ov the non partisan politicians in Raj
eigh would lynch him before he got
away fer talkin' so much like an Ali
anceman. Betsy lowed as we were
goin' home that night that if the legis-
lature was in session now they would
repeel Mr.. Watterson's charter. They
wouldn't allow him to talk about wall
street" an '~plutocracy" an agin "sec-
tionalism' an the danger ov party
spirit" like he did. I'll bet a dozen
peaches that Watterson won't be in
voted to make a speech in Raleigh
agin."
Rho, he has been sat down upon
by the bosses. He will never be invited
here again. He is a 'disturber Of the
public welfare"
BETSY loved that she heard
sum ov the good lookin' men on the
stage behind Mr.. Watterson griffin ov
their teeth while he was speakin'. 1
see the failures I goin' right on.
Wonder if those who are Dustin will
keep right On votin' ter make failures.
Looks ter me like they oughter git
their eye-teeth cut sum time. Good

of that county have organized a stock
company and are putting in a com
plete outfit for publishing a red-hot re-
form paper, says the Iowa Tribune.
The Alliance meeting in Comanche
was well attended last Saturday, and
they want their brethren abroad to
know that the Order is still prosperous
out here.
Cheering news comes from the Ali
ance all over the country. In Georgia
cit is stronger than ever" In Texas
sit is taking on new life" In Virginia
lit is On a boom" etc.
A regular attendance at the Alliance
meetings is the way to become familiar
with the work and what it teaches. Be
there, if you would learn, for you will
have willing instructors.
Burdette Cornell, the Lecturer of the
California State Allince, is only %
years old. He has made 70 public
speeches in the past five months end
is a very effective speaker.
E o. Meitzen, an Alliance lecturer,
will address the people of Goliad
county, in this month, at several
places, in the German language, says
the Texas Pioneer Exponent.
Adams County, Nebraska, Alliance
held it's meeting at Hastings, May Is.
There was a general turnout of farm,
ers, their families and connections.
Hon. Allen Root, of Omaha, made the
leading address.
Hon, J. H. Powers, Hon. B. f. Allen

coin, Nebraska, last week and laid Out
an extended campaign throughout Ne.

The Representative, the new Farm
ers' Alliance paper of Minnesota, is
evidently hung" about right for cut
ting a wide swath in the field of re
form. Donnelly, the invincible, is
helping to swing it.
The great anti political non partisan
convention that was called in Texas tc
rescue the Alliance from politics
which had been long advertised, met
at Dallas on the 9th of May. TtVents

THE LIST.

There be" some curious things en-
foot in Washington. The good Demo
Gratis r so anxious to serve the coun-
try that they are bringing all sorts OF
charges against Republican office
holders "Partisanship," ''incompe-
tency," "bitter partisan" and dozens
of things are said about them. Some
Offices are put on the emergency
list"
Your Uncle Grover has put on a new
dodge to avoid his duty. After being
called a ''mugwump" for at least ten
wears. he now Pushes up and declares
that he will not allow any man to call
him a "mugwump;" says he will ap-
point no man who terms him a mug
wump. Well, Grover, you viii have
to 20 to the wilds Of Africa for your
men. We have heard some CT those
now holding office under you call you
worse things than a mugWump.
There is much fun now in Washing
ton at the sight of a few Alliance Dem
ocrats who are being rewarded. They
believe in reform, financial and other
wise. But when they go before Grover
they must give up everything and be
sworn in as p~lutocrats. It reminds
one of a person joining the church. In
that case the devil and all his works
are renowned. Grover does not ask
them to renounce their Creator, but he
does ask them to embrace the devil and
his doctrines and solemnly promise
that they will hereafter help p~lutocracy
to get full control of America, help tc
make more mortgages, help to plumber
widows and orphans and help to make
slaves out Cf the great middle classes
And they do it for q little government

THE ARE NOT REFoRMERs.

Let the people remember that when
those, who are expressing the people,
offer reform (0 that is only a bogus
reform, for it is not to their interest to
give the people relief. Their prosperity
comes by expressing the people. If
the reforms they offer were honest
and just reforms, it would break up
their business. They are not fools,
therefore they will not do anything to
lessen their profits drawn from the toll
and labor of the people. Then how
foolish we are to expect reform and
Justice from such a source. = oZdsbOro
