MEANING OF THE LANDSLIDE.
Gov. Mckinley Says the People Are Tired
 of Free Trade Talk.

Gov. Mckinley Says the People Are Tired
 of Free Trade Talk.
 The voice heard in the last election, especially in Ohio. was so loud, clear, and forceful that even the blindest can- not mistake its meaning. It shows that the people want to return to the sound principles that have contributed so much to the greatness and prosperity of this. republic. In Ohio the result showed by a plurality of eighty-one thousand that the plain people are ops posed to free trade and will have none of it.
 The late democratic candidate for governor of Ohio, Mir. Neal, is an out and out free trader and was the author of the tariff plank in the last national platform of his party. The republican candidate stood where he has always stood, for protection to American in- dustries and labor. was never per. suaded that the people were for free trade, but was in a measure surprised at the clearness of the verdict rendered by them at the polls and the magni- tude of the victory secured. The masses do not favor a revenue tariff, and it was the expression of their op- position to it that decided the day in favor of the republican candidates in the several states. In Ohio the silver question played only small part in the campaign, and in my opinion but slightly influenced the voters There it was great and decisive victory for the republican doctrine of protection; it was in no sense personal triumph, for principles and not men were at stake.
 The effect of the recent elections on prospective tariff legislation is prob lematical Should the democrats follow the path they have already mapped out which they may be reasonably expected to do, their action cannot fail to have most disastrous effect on the industrial interests of the country. The contest for sound principles is not yet ended, but the re- publican party was never better equipped for battle than it is at the present moment, and tbere can be in the end but one result-that shadowed forth by the late election.

The Convention at Topeka in the Intereso
 of Mammoth Railroad Scheme.

The Convention at Topeka in the Intersso of Mammoth Railroad. Scheme. TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 6:-There was . very small attendance, at the meeting | of the gulf and inter-state railroad con- gress, which convened here in pursu- ance of the arrangement made at the convention held i'm Lincoln, Neb.,. in June of this year.
 In calling the convention to, order, President +. J. Close, of Kansas, made an address, in which he reviewed the action heretofore taken. the benefits to be derived from the proposed North & South railroad and the plans sug- gested for its accomplishment Healso incorporated in his. address lengthy statement from F. B. Maxson, one of the railroad commissioners of Kansas, in which statistics were given of the products of the several states through which the proposed road is to be con- structed, the cost of transportation and other details connected with the pro- posed line from Dakota to the gulf
 At the conclusion of the president's address the delegates proceeded to dis cuss the ways and means for building the road.
 A letter was presented from J. E. Bruce, an attorney, of Emporia, Kan. expressing interest in the new road and stating that he had conversed with number of men in Lyon county who would be willing to furnish sufficient money to build at least 50 miles as a starter and trust to the practicabilit and feasibility of the scheme for their assurance of profit
 A committee on resolutions was ap- pointed, consisting of R. c. Bradshaw and J. H. Whetstone, of Kansas; C. J. Rundell and E. Stoddard. of Nebraska; H. A. Keefer and H. N. Dake, of Mis- souri; M. H. Kempton, of Texas, and A. Wardell, of South Dakota. The committee reported a series of resolu- tions embracing plan for building a single track railroad from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. The plan provides for board of eleven provisional direct ors, one from each state through which the road is to pass, this board to have full charge of the preliminary work, for which they are to receive legitimate expenses and 8 per day for services. 1t is made the duty of the board to proceed at once to secure necessary charters, procure right-Of- way and establish bureau of informa- tion. The board is empowered to build the road at the lowest possible cost, the ownership to continue in the hands of the directors as trustees, and under no circumstances to be transferred to a corporation or private individual; but it is provided that the government may at any time purchase the road at actual cost.
 Money is to be provided by popular issue of construction bonds in amounts of s5 each and multiples thereof up to s1O0, the bonds to run forty years at per cent interest They are first to be offered to the school funds of the sew oral states interested, and if not dis posed of that way they are to be sold in open market to the best possible ad- vantage. The plan also provides that upon the completion of the road only such freight and passenger tariffs shall be charged as will pay the actual ex- penses of operation and interest.

REED ON THE MESSAGE.
Pointed Remarks by the Maine Statesman
 oD CleveIaud's Methods.


 ''I dislike to comment on the mes- sage, because it would not be seemly to do it in adequate terms It is exceed ingly disappointing both in matter and manner lt is largely made up of a wearisome resume of the reports of his secretaries, which have hardly been improved by condensation. On the Ha- waiian question we are left as much in the dark as ever and must wait for the news of the next ship just as we have been waiting so long. That part of the message which relates to the tariff Is most surprising. It asseverates that the house committee in charge of that subject has formulated plans and de- vised methodB of taxation which as a member of the committee have not even heard proposed. It is rather un- usual sensation to learn Of the deeds of the committee not in the committee room but from the president of the United States.
 Has that committee ceased in form to be composed of both parties and has it without even the formality of word in open committee informed the presi- dent of it's determination in such way that the president eau officially com municate to the house? How long has it been part of our system that the committee of an independent branch and above all the committee which con trols the purse shall report to congress through the president? Is this the re- suit of the ruDored blending of the ap- pointive with the legislative power?
 Tt is bad enough to have a tariff bill made up by little coterie, as Mir. Will son calls it, but to have it'communi- cated to the president before it reaches even the committee, still less the house, shows determination to be moved by no facts and modified by no arguments which makes apparent the absurdity of appointing republicans on the com mittee of ways and means at all "-- Tribune.

Olu Associations.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The police com missioners shook the department from the battery wall to the fields of the Harlem goats, so to speak, at meet ing held at police headquarters. Thirteen captains were transferred from the precincts which they have commanded to others.
 No such commotion has occurred in the police department since the memor- able shake-up of April 19, 1892, which moved about on the police checker board nearly every captain in the ser vice and large number of sergeants and roundsmen. It is said this change is due to the efforts of Dr. Parkhurst and his Society for the Suppression of Vice" Prominent officials of the po- lice department, however, deny this report, but are non-conlmittal as to the real cause fer the transfers.

A Fam GUS Play by Fnmous Author.


1t is something new to make central
figure Of play burglar, and introd uce
house breaking scene as the leading
feature, and in the attempt there are
some things that strike the average
mind as incongruous-not to say ludi-
crouS.
The plot of 1.-The Burglar" makes it
necessary for the little seven-year-old
daughter of the burglar to surprise him
at his work and hold long and inter
esting conversation with him in the
third act, and it is greatly to the credit
OF both Eugene Moore and the little
child that the scene is as interesting as
it was made last night. The story told
by the play is very pathetic one, and
appeals strongly TO the sympathies of
the audience.
The company presented the play in a
very satisfactory manner and did their
work in e most creditable fashion.
Eugene Moore, as William Lewis, the
burglar, is finished actor. The part
is very difficult one and he deserves
great praise for his work in it last night.
The parting scene in the last act was
natural, vivid and pathetic. The sup
port throughout was good, and the child
won the audience at once by her sweet
childish ways.-Burlingto Hawkeye.
THE Burglar" will be presented at
the Academy to- n orrow night.
