the dead of all ages, and IL 80 why not
with the most secret and intimate
thoughts of the living?
Several New York police courts coldly
refused to issue warrants for the arrest
of the thought purloiners. Perhaps
they erred. 1t may be that science
would have received tremendous i'm
petus had that electrical thought-ex-
tractor been brought into court and
allowed to work on the average New
York policeman.
1t is not difficult to devine the
thoughts Of many people without the
aid of a machine, but how the New
York judges could refrain from expert
menting with thought-extractor upon
some of the uniformed guardians of the
peace who frequent their courts is what
the average mind fails utterly to grasp.

THE PRESIDENTS DAMN.

There was political dinner at the
Victoria hotel, New York, after the
Democrats had nominated Mr.. Cleve-
land for president, and it was reported
that Mr.. Cleveland was so emphatic in
some remarks that he was betrayed into
the use Of profane expression. The
dinner at once became historic.
There were many versions of the
affair. Now comes one that is said to
be authentic-comes, in fact, from
Mr.. Cleveland himself. The narrative
relates that Mr.. Sheehan said to Mr..
Cleveland that there was matter of
business to discuss;
"well. whit do you gentlemen want ." asked
Mr.. Cleveland.
ave want pledges from you." said Mr.. Sheehan.
I'VE want 10 know what you are going TO do II you
elected. We want You to give promises that
will satisfy that the organ Eat on viii be prop
erly recognized II you become president again"
MIR. Cleveland doubled up his huge fist and smote
the table.
"Gentlemen." no said. speaking slowly and with
almost painful disinctness, viii not go into the
NAt4io l1ouso pltuktu ~ pbu any otlo elsc.
will MAKE no secret promises. I'll be damned II /
will"
This was very brave of Mr.. Cleve-
land. doubtless, and very admirable,
since it came before election. But 1t
will be noticed that the organization
Mr.. Sheehan represented has been
recognized as fully as the most devout
Tammanyite could desire.
Mr.. Cleveand's damn seems to be no
more effective than the Democratic
platform. 1t was delivered in strictly
Pickwickian sense. 1t was for ante
election use solely, it appears. When
Democratic president tells Tammany he
will be damned If he will promise it
anything it means that he will Gve it
all it could hope for without yUAmise
of sort.

COLONEL AND COMMITTEE.

The Democratic state central COM
mittee has organized, and to outward
appearance Speaker Owen is still the
leader of the elect.
1t remains to be seen, however,
whether the state central committee
or Colonel Honey Of Newport is the big
ger toad in the puddle. 1t has been un-
derstood that no Rhode Island appoint
ments would be made by the president
until they had been endorsed by the
colonel. If this is true the state central
committee might as well go out OF bus
ness.
And if the colonel is to be the power
behind the throne the kind of men who
will fill federal tffices in this state may
be judged from the character OF those
who at his command are now doing
duty AS sergeants- alarms OF the rump
house of representatives.

ENDED AT LAST.

With the exception OF what is known
as the Gill faction of the Pawtucket
Democracy the action of the aldermen
in declining to order another special
election for city councilmen in the
Second ward will be approved. This
faction is part OF the Carroll machine,
and it is against it the conservative citi-
zens of the ward, irrespective of party,
have been fighting since last November.
Seven attempts have been made to-
choose an alderman and councilmen,
but without success. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that any different result
would follow il special trials were con-
tinued from time to time until the
regular election in November. Such
being the case, it would be a manifest
waste of the peoples money to make
further trials, especially when the vote
has shown that the larger number of
the citizens of the ward prefer the sit
ting members to the candidates of the
machine.

TO BREAK TRUSTS.

1t is now plain that the friends OF the
antitrust movement will receive neither
assistance nor comfort from the Cleve-
land administration. In the face of the
distinct pledges and promises made at
Chicago year ago, Attorney General
Olney has displayed masterly inactiv-
ity in dealing with monopolies that indi-
Gates that, so far as the national govern
ment is concerned, illegal and grinding
combines need have no fear of inter-
ferance or punishment.
No doubt the uselessness of hoping
that any action will be taken at Wash
ington has led to the introduction in
the Illinois Legislature of two antitrust
bills. One was framed by Republicans,
the other by Democrats, and neither
conflicts with, but rather supplements,
tho other. Both have passed the lower
branch, and although there is power
full lobby at work against them there is
reason to believe they will be favorably
acted upon by the senate.
One of the two measures which is
known as the Berry bill, is very ex-
plicit and exact in its definition of
trusts, and it makes unlawful every
monopolistic or trading alliance entered
into for the purpose of controlling the
price of any article of commerce.
In the event OF these bills being
finally passed there is likely to follow
bitter struggle, and it will be watched
with deep interest by the other states
which recognize as fully as does Illi-
nois the necessity of throttling these
unrighteous aggregations of wealth and
power which are subverSive of all hon
est business methods and threaten the
destruction of the very foundation of
our commercial system.

STEALING THOUGHTS.

Nobody who is even slightly familiar
with the progress of occultism among
the common people will be surprised to
learn that New York courts have been
asked to issue warrant for the arrest
of people for stealing thoughts.
The theft of thought after il has
taken concrete form, in newspapers for
example, is not an unusual thing at all.
Such larceny goes on all the time.
Neither is it infrequently learned that
thought expressed in words merely is
unhesitatingly stolen.
But the theft complained of by the
New York parties was of unuttered and
unpublished thought, taken, as 1t were,
in the original package direct from the
thought reservoir of the complainants,
"by means Of an electrical apparatus. "
Mr.. Marion Crawford has taught us
to imagine that by means Of electricity
communication can be established with

o-ur receivers appointed in one day

story Of the present financial crisis.
Is this the prosperity that was to fol-
low the advent OF the Democratic party
into control in national politics? Is
this the way confidence is TO be re-
stored to the frightened financiers?
The list Of national banks that have
closed their doors since March 4, 1893,
is an appalling one. and the worst of it
is there appears no remedy in sight.

revealed himself, no panacea 10 offer.

A large and enthusiastic crowd wit

at the Henrietta skating rink, foot OF
Chestnut street. The game was for a
goodly purse, and was between the
Minnesota and Henrietta clubs, in
which the latter were victorious, van
gushing their opponents to the tune OF
three goals to nothing; but as the Min
nesotas did not have their regular team,
the next game. which is to be played at

DER MENONIT."
A semi-ReIigious Drama by the
Bollman Company at the Met
ropoIitan Last Evening.
Herman Schneider, Richard Wag-
ncr and Elsa Roemer Given
Many Ovations.

The return Of the Bollman company
brought out good-sized German-Amer-
lean audience at the Metropolitan last
evening to witness the Mennonite"
The play is mixture Of tragedy, love
and religion, and is fairly well put to-
gether, and might have an interest for
some people in Minnesota from the fact
that at one time there was community
of this class in the state. but 1t
did not seem to thoroughly
catch the interest of the au
dience at the Metropolitan last evening.
The story of the play is rather unique,
but this is owing TO the peculiar ending,
and the last scene leaves what might be
termed sorroWlng audience. There IS
a splendid opportunity for four good
characters, and some OF them made
good use OF the same. Hermann
SCHNEIDER was probably never seen
better, with the possible exception OF
his appearance in "Shuldig," when he
vas here with Die Milwaukee, last
season. The generous applause and
the frequent calls before the curtain ac-
corded him were certainly evidences Of
popularity that might provoke envy
from any actor. His conception Of the
part was parfect, his lines well deliV-
cred, and his acting gave evidence Of
hard study that brought good results.
1t was a masterpiece of acting.
Elsa Roemer, as Marie. was rather
weak in the first two acts, owing to
peculiar expression she has Of depicting
pain, but redeemed herself grandiy in the
next two acts, where her rendition of the
love and death scenes showed her capa-
bic of displaying emotional ability of a
very high order. In the first part her
costumes were hardly appropriate for
Mennonite maiden, and all through the
play the wearing of diamond rings and
eardrops rather marred an otherwise
good character representation.
Richard Wagner had last evening his
first opportunity Of displaying his abll-
ity before a st. Paul audience, and in
some of the scenes was excellent in
speech and delineation, but occasionally
showed adiSpOSition to use the gutturalS
too often; but with this elimination
would win the plauditS Of the audience
to larger degree than lie did last even
ing. Julius Collmer, as the oldest of the
Menonites, has difficult part, but ren-
dered it well, and, like Wagner, speaks
a little too far down the throat. TheO-
dore Bollman'S minor part as the Ger
man defender of his country was grand
In sentiment, and by the playwright
should have been given more scope.
Next Sunday evening, Jan. Is, will be
presented ''The Milkmaid of Schoene-
berg" and the subscription patrons of
the Bollman engagement will again
have an opportunity of seeing that
charming soUbrette, Martha Neuman,
in part that will give her wonderful
versatility full scope.
