have feared that she might have con-
contracted pulmonary disease. This
she has herself very strenuously de-
MED, She has, indeed, lost flesh, but,
as she often jOcularly remarked, she
could afford 10; and the elasticity OF
her spirits and her remarkably buOyant
temperament have seemed to give the
lie to any suspicion of deep-seated
disease.
She is nero shadow OF her former
self. On her California tour she was
compelled to give up the idea Of play
ing on three nights Of the San Francis
co engagement; and she has not played
at all since leaving that city until her
opening here last night.
Last nights bill provided for her APP
pearance in three comedies. But she
appeared only in the last. 1t is an
nOunced that she will not appear at all
this evening. Her manager denies that
she is seriously I'LL; but it is plain that
Miss NOkes has become a victim OF that
dread disease, consumption, whose
symptoms are only too well known in
Colorado.
Roslna Vokes is one of the acknowl-
edged queens Of light comedy. She has
a style Of her own. She has many imi-
tators, but no one of them has caught
her peculiar spirit or eQualed her in
lightness Of touch. She is equally pOpu-
lar in England and America. II an
American coincidence were to be chosen
TO test capabilities with the sprightIy
artistes of the French school, Rosina
VokeS would be the best selection.

as tho case may be, and as men and
policies change so do the intelligent
voters, regardless of partisan politics,
and while Tuesdays elections had no
bearing on the vital principles Of the
Republican and Democratic parties
they proved that the average American
voter is far from being an autOmaton,
able to walk in only one political path.
This fact should be a source Of con-
graduation to every patriotic American.
1t is a warning to every party that has
control in State or nation thst past ma
jorities cannot be counted on for the
future unless backed Dy obedience 10
the will Of the people. MCKINLEY has
made a capable, honest and fearless
State executive. aud despite his dema-
gogy on the stump and his legislative
sins In Congress the same voters who
last year overwhelmingly con demned
the latter have this year overwhelming
IN endorsed his administration of the
State government
In New York an unfit ticket was put
up BY the arrogant Democratic machine
managers, whose passed successes
due ouly to the fact that there has been
heretofore no choice for the hon
est voter between the two parties
have turned their heads to such an ex-
tent that they came to believe they
owned the State politically and to look
upon the voters as a herdsman looks
upon his cattle. They have gone a step
too far aud have received a lesson they
have long richly deserved. They would
have been taught it long ago had there
been any choice between Tammanyism
and Plattism.
The general shaking up will not be
without beneftin Washington, also, and
when Congress ,reassembles it will not
be the less careful in considering the
will Of the people because Of it. 1t has an
imperative duty to perform and this it
must do in accordance with the
commands Of the people and regardless
Of everything but the peoples interests.
To so doing they will serve their party
best.
We have fallen heir to evils heaped
upon us through long years of unwise
and vicious legislation, and their cor
rectiou in a few months, or maybe years,
is not expected by any sensible man. 1t
is as true in politics as 10 medicine,
that no doctor can cure a d .sease Of long
standing in q day. Neither can the
abuses that have crept into our govern
mental system be eradicated in 365 days
We have begun in the right way, have
already remedieG our financial troubles
in great measure, aud business is be-
ginning TO pick up, and industries to re-
vive, as even the most radical Republi-
can papers are forced TO admit, and
which the news columns testify to more
thoroughly.

TO RELIEVE FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
cIers in New York-secretary Car
Isle Present.

a Plan Suggested At a Meeting of Finan-
ciers in New York-secretary Car
Isle Present.
New YORK, Nov. S.-Secretary Car
Isle returned to Washington this after
noon. Last evening he had an inform
al conference with Assistant Treasurer
Jordan, j. Edward Simmons, President
of the Fourth National Bank; II. c.
Cannon, President OF the Chase Ma
tional Bank; James Stilman, PreSi-
dent of the National City Bank and
Frederick d. Tappan, President OF the
Gallatin National Bank.
On reliable authority it was learned
that the time was principally occupied
in talking over the present condition OF
the United States Treasury. Nothing
OF course was said by Mr. Carlisle as to
the future fiscal policy OF the present
administration or what measures Mr..
Cleveland would recommend should Oe
adopted by Congress 10 relieve the
strain upon the Treasury, but it. is be-
lieved q clan was suggested which, II
carried out, will relieve the Treasury Of
further trouble, at any rate until Con-
gresS can do something. The success
of the plan will require the cooperation
of the leading banks in this city. 1t is
said that no orders will be issued for
the coinage of any more silver dollars
in order merely to obtain the use Of the
Seignorage.

The Directors of the Wheeling Ice
and Storage Company held their fall
meeting Tuesday afternoon and heard
the secretary'S report of the years bus
mess to November 1st. Owing to sharp
competition during the past summer,
caused largely by the large crop of
natural ice gathered last winter, with
the extreme low price to large con-
sumers during the summer, the d.
rectors have decided to pay no divi-
dend this year.
The Company have not been able to
sell more than two-thirds Of their pro-
duct during the past season, not having
demand for all they could make. They
have stored large quantity OF their
manufactured ice to supply their trade
during the fall and winter, and are
now busy making their annual repairs,
and with their increased facilities for
ice making, together with their new
cold storage house, they will be fully
able to supply all the demands Of the
city and adjoining towns.
