From Wednesdays Mail.
Trouble has arisen over the issuing
OF complimentary tickets to to-night's
production of "As You Like 1t" at
the Fair. The play should more
properly be entitled GAS Mr.. Higin-
botham Likes 1t" as that is possibly
the way affairs will be conducted.
Egbert Handy, business manager
for Harrison & Lee, has issued thirty
passes to various persons ami twenty
five to Mr.. EIiginbotham. Wednes-
day morning he received a type
written letter from Frank Crawford,
Mr.. Higinbotham's secretary, stating
that he had heard the management
intended TO issue a number OF passes.
Mr. Iiginbotham added, by his
secretary, that he had given orders
60 the Department Of Collections not
TO consider any pass he issued, and
that an accounting should be made
for the full uumbcro u passes less the
twenty-five graciously accepted by
Mr. Higint otham.

TAUGHT HIM A LESSON.

An 0ysrbeanng Railroad Conductor Taken
Down a Peg or Two.
A friend of mine travelling toward
Racine, Wis. on the Chicago and
Northwestern last January had his
mileage book retained by a conduc-
tor, says a writer in The st. Louis
Globe Democrat. After asking him
a few questions the conductor put
the book in his pocket and said: "See
you later" After half an hour my
friend asked him for the book The
official declined to give it up My
friend then asked permission TO copy
something he had therein, which was
also refused. At the next station
the traveller stepped off the train into
the telegraph office and sent a mes
sage t. the chief Of police at Racine
asking for policeman to arrest a
thief upon the arrival of the train.
The policeman was there and my
friend stepped up and introduced
himself and pointed out the con-
ductor as the thief who had his prop
erty in his possession.
After much persuasion the con-
ductor was taken uptown in hood
lum wagon to Judge, who took up
the case at once. The charge was
made, and the conductor admitted
having a book taken from the man
making the charge. The case was
soon concluded, the book returned,
and the conductor was fined, having
in addition to pay the costs, amount
ing to 81.
AS they were both leaving court
the conductor said to my friend: 81
will smash your face for this. !"
Whereupon my friend called another
policeman, had the conductor ar
rested and taken at once before the
same judge, and had him bound over
to keep the peace, at more costs.
The conductor and my friend then
passed out peacefully.

R0BBIE0 THE PEOPLE.


then see how much right the Pres
byterian Theological Seminary has to
escape taxation on $50 residences and
fifteen acres of land on Fullerton,
Belden and Sheffield avenues.
Land belonging to an institution Of
. learning upon ,rhich buildings or inStitu-
tons are not located, and tchich is not used
EXCLUSIVELY By the corporation, is sub
ject to taxation"
The words quoted were used by the
Supreme Court of Illinois, in the
matter of this same Presbyterian
Theological Seminary, which always
tried to get out of paying its just
dues, and can he found on page $50
of Volume CT. of Freeman's Illinois
Supreme Court Reports.
The County Collector d Cook
County sued this same Theological
Seminary Of the Northwest, in 1880,
for taxes. There were then no resi-
dences on this fifteen acres of land,
yet the Supreme Court decided that
they must pay taxes.
In the face of this decision of the
highest court in the State, the off,
cials of Cook County have connived
with sundry parties to keep this as
sessment off of the tax books, euen
after the North TOM Assessor has assessed
them.
How is that for fraud?
Talk about anarchists defying the
law. Did they ever do anything like
this?
The people should Use up and wipe
out this injustice at the polls.
If the fault is in the County Court
strike it there.
If the fault is in the County Clerks
Office, strike it there.
But strike it anywhere.
The law and the Supreme Court
have each been defied long enough.
Religious crooks are no better than
any other crooks.
Here is an extract from the Ameri-
can Encyclopedia of Law, volume 4,
quoting the consensus of the opinions
of the Supreme Courts of twenty
eight States on this subject:
"An exemption of the property of
religious, charitable and educational
institutions will be construed to ex-
tend only to the property actually used
TOR religious, charitable and educational
purposes, and not to other property held
By 1t as q source Of reuenae, or capable OF
hoinn 01lnlied tn e1Iob moe
If that is not strong enough law to
protect the people in their rights,
what is?
And yet the Presbyterian Theologi-
cal Seminary pays no taxes on fifteen
acres Of residence property, each
house on which rents from $85 to
5000 per month.
Why is this fraud permitted to
exist?

NOTHING like keeping up the credit
of your city, state and nation. Pub.
lie credit is that which enables the
gold gamblers and bond brokers to
fleece the people, without violating
law. 1t is the anesthetic by the use
of which the people may have their
earnings extracted without pain. Pay
no attention to your individual credit,
but maintain the public credit; that's
what these New York patriots live
on. Stand up for the United States.

1.-THE NARROW GAUGE GANG" j."

The Jefersonian of April 20 has
very csustic criticism Of mlddle-of
the-rosd Populists, whom it desig-
mates as the marrow. gauge gang"
and charges them with all the disast-
ers that have fallen to the lot of the
Peoples party. While we shall not
retsliste by indulging in any Of the
endesrlng terms which characterize
Brother Wakefeld's criticism, we
hold that the very disasters to which
he refers were the direct result ofthe
unwarrantable traffic which few
would-be, leaders attempted and were
unable to carry out. We desire only
to call attention to the closing para
graph of this very unreasonable and
untruthful article. 1t refers, of course,
to the straight Populists and is as
follows:
In 1891 they had their own way, resulting In
q loss Of the judicial and county elections and
the serious set back of the Peoples party,
but in 1892 they we're In a minority or out
generated at the Wichita convention, and
success became possible.
In 1891 the result of the election
was victory for the Peoples party
by an actual increase Of the sggre-
gate party vote of the state over that
of 1890; and, 80 far from the straight
Populists being in the minority, and
being outgeneraled and sat down
upon at Wichita, they controlled that
convention by an overwhelming ma
Ijority, as every one knows who was
there. Will Brother Wakefield be
kind enough to specify which of the
candidates there nominated were sug-
gested or desired to be placed upon
the ticket by democrats? Does he
not know that David Overmyer and
John Martin were the men whose
names were presented to that conven-
tion by the fusionists, and that both
we're defeated, and defeated because
they 1Uere fstSiOnistss
If the straight Populists in the
Wichita convention were in the mi
nority and were outgenersled as
stated, Brother Wakefield will oblige
us by stating in just what particular
thing their defeat consisted. Hewill
find that the middle-of-the-road Pop
ulists are not only in the majority in
Kansas, but overwhelmingly so.
Brother Wakefield is further un-
fair and disingenuous in his infer
ence that straight Populists would
rather see the old Republican gang
enthroned In triumphant power in
Kansas than have the Peoples party
win by aid of voters who differ on
non-essentials." Our position is that
we must maintain such a position as
will enable us to draw support from
both parties, and this we cannot do
by afhlistion with either. Such mis-
representation as the above smacks
too strongly of republican tactics to
bave any real f1rce.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York stoos Market

New YORK, Sept. 29.-The temper at
the stock exchange to-day was de-
cidedly bullish. Operators who claim
that their advices from Washington to
render speedy repeal Of the Sherman
law certain, gave their speculation
grave support and were more aggressive
than for some time past. A new and
important work on the bull side was
clearly demonstrated by the fact that
drop of as per cent. in Louisville and
Nashville failed to check the upward
movements. Tho DECLINE in louisville
and Nashville WAS explained by the
official announcement that tho directors
at meeting yesterday decided to in !.
crease the capital stock from SIS, 600, 600
to $50, 100000 for the purpose Of provid-
ing funds for new under takings which
they have in view.
The general market after declining
Il to per cent. developed strength and
subsequently advanced anywhere from
1s to per cent, the latter in Sugar,
Distillers and Lackawanna. During the
afternoon speculation was positively
bucyant and the market fell off in &C.
ton OF only Is to ID from the highest.
While the prospect for speedy repeal
OF the Sherman law Ia the ostensible
cause for the I'm provement in values the
easier state of the money market
and the decline in sterling exchange,
which renders gold shipments unlikely,
have decided influence.
New England was favorably affected
by the decision of the railroad commits
sioners giving the company right of
way into New York, and Reading by
the announcement that there will be
no foreclosure proceedings, and Distil.
lers by the recommendation by the ways
and means committee of an increased
tax on distilled spirits. Even Louis
/ vile recovered 21 per cont. from the
lowest, and" General Electric, despite
the rumors of the designations OF Ger
tain directors and tho impending re-
organization OF the company, closed
with net gain of Is per cent. There
was lively covering movement on the
