How about the honorable Senators from
Ohio? Mr.. Coxev Is bringing on small
body Of their constituents, and the world has
IN some way got to talking about II, and the
Senators are silent. It is rather strange that
co1ey's ways and means committee has thus
Tar failed to call on these two wealthy law
makers for material expression Of SYM
pathy. The pots and the pans are sailing
down the same stream; only on the voyage,
where all started as pots, some have become
strongly gilded pans! The condition of
things has In some way given several millions
into the sacred keeping of these two honor
able gentlemen, while eoxey's recruits, we'll
are not well-to-do people.
May it not be possible that another young
and eloquent millionaire Senator from the far
silver districts needs a little editing when he
permits himself to declare that uhder present
ment.r He may comfortably wish to think
this is true because he knows that any coun-
try whore it is not true, with abundant har-
vests and extravagant displays OF wealth
on ali sides, is uncivilized and unchristian,
apd needs some sort of revolution; and any
revolution that would disturb values would
interfere with assured incomes.
An earthquake once in while has an effect
on architecture. Structures Are built lower,
with more substantial walls. When does a
man who tries to give fair picture of the
condition OF things cease to be a croaker and
become an honest man and patriot? Well,
time will tell. Tho rain does not always fall
alike on the just and unjust, as instance
Noah and his family and all tho outsidersl
He was In with the then management Of
things So has it evidently been with some
Of our law-makers with large brains for
financial problems. But, after the food,
where are the convenient Ararats upon
whose tops all this modern gilded ark may
safely rest?
The worst feature of time is that the most
self-satisfled "to-day'' must in due time be-
come yesterday" and the Tomorrow" is
always hungry to pick up the mistakes made
by this present reveller in now.
The only sure thing about an unjust cause
is that the effect will be exactly equal in
weight. Foolish laws, or bad laws, alike
breed lawbreakers.
Modern legislators are busy painting the
old cask, and commend themselves for their
industry. while the wine of loyalty and pa
triotisn is running out the bunghole.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April s7.-The Twin City

Creedon had been the favorite in the betting,
and odds were five to two in spite of Moore being
practically at home. The tiine-keepers were

From the start the mon came together hard

Moore secured first blood from the cheek in the

THE CIRCUS is COMING.
The Great Barnum & Bailey Show Soon Il
Be Here

The Great Barnum Bailey Show Soon to
Be Here.
Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth
will arrive here on the It'll and sth of May,
and spread its mammoth waterproof tents.
The great exhibition this year is Of a character
entirely new to the residents of this city.
To briefly mention some Of the prominent
features would occupy considerable space.
Suffice 1t that three rings. two elevated stages.
a huge racing track, and much novel aerial
apparatus are required to show the varied
entertainment comprising this years new
show. There are menageries, hippodromes.
triple circus, horse fair, theological congress
of strange people, and other features. No
other amusement enterprise carries so many
people and has such complete arrangements
for their keeping. OF course hundreds Of
people will be there to see the canvas go up
and get a free glimpse of the elephant as he
marches with majestic tread from the railway
tracks to the grounds.

osruE MErRopoLIrAs RAILROAD.

The metropolitan road, as
at present conducted, is not
SENATOR credit to the city of Wash
rpou ington. Its cars are old,
"= small, and inconvenient,
Miohl'As' and its general equipment
is poor. 4 road handling the kind Of traffic
that supports this company should be pro-
yided with cars of the latest and most ap-
proved pattern, which should at all times be
kept fresh and clean. Congress should make,
as condition of any further legislation in
behalf of this company. the condition that
the equipment shall be changed at the earliest
possible moment.
Again, the road is in a condition financially
to place upon all its lines system of rapid
transit, and should be required to do so. On
the Ninth street line cable is practicable.
On the east and west lines believe it is the
testimony of experts that the curves are too
many to allow the successful operation Of the
cable. but an underground electrical system
probably could be successfully operated. I
say probably, because there is as yet in this
country no underground system for electri-
cally propelling horse-cars that has been sub
iected to the test Of a long distance and q
heavy traffic l believe that the company
should have the power given to it TO make
such test of the Ninth street lines, where
the conditions are highly favorable to success,
and if the new system shall meet the require
ments with any degree Of satisfaction to the
people the east and west lines should at once
be equipped with such system.
The remaining question with regard to the
road is as to the payment of a certain judg
ment for cost of paving. This question
should be settled as speedily as possible, in
order that the road may be placed on a solid
financial basis, SO that the money needed for
the rapid transit improvements may be OBJ
tained. Until the question is settled there
will always be an element of more or less un-
certainty in the value OF the company's prop
erty. l would prefer to see Congress fix the
amount which the company shall pay rather
than leave the matter 10 the courts, whose
jurisdiction at the present time is doubtful
end whose findings are probematical
Pending the settlement of the Metropolitan
railroad matters it would seem to me that no
further extensions of horse-car lines in the
city of Washington SHOULD be allowed. If the
Metropolitan company shall be able to solve
the problem of obtaining practicable and
moderately expensive system of underground
electrical motive power, all the other street
railroads in the city of Washington should be
compelled to adopt such a system at the
earliest possible moment

Nat C. Goodwin at the National Next Week.
The announcement of the coming OF Mr..
Nat G. Goodwin to the New National next
week win be most pleasant news to the pa
irons Of this house, for it assures them OF a
week Of comedy that is not surpassed at any
time during the season. Mr.. Goodwin Is a
great favorite IN this city, for the very simple
reason that he is great comedian. His
yearly visits have come to be looked upon as
real treat and therefore his engagements
here are always most satisfactory to all con-
cerned. During the coming engagement he
viii present his new play. written especially
for him by Henry Guy Carlton. The piece is
called '.A.Gilded Fool, and has added TO his
already great fame as an exponent of comedy.
That the play. which is most enjoyable and
amusing one, will make big hit in this city
goes without saying, for our theater-goers
know to whom to look for comedies OF the
first water sir. Goodwin has always be-
lieved in surrounding himself with good
company. The setting of "a Gilded Fool
is quite Up to the highest standard OF stage
art. The scenes are all rich and elaborate.
Only one matinee viii be given during Mr..
Goodwin's engagement, namely, Saturday.

In another column appears an autograph
letter of J. S. Coxey. 1t needs no comment.
Our readers have their own private and indi-
vidual opinions Of this novel adventurer. 1t
is original at least, having no precedent in
this century. From obsci1rity Mr.. Coxey has
forced himself into the position of the most
talked about man of the day. Right or wrong,
the letter bears the guinea stamp of honest
purpose, earnest hopefulness, conscious
strength. We have no prophetic vision, and
and can only hope that wiser and more COM
prehehsive laws may replace all and any that
have been the means Of bringing about this
stagnation of business and universal feeling
of ill-eoncealed apprehension.

INCREASED STREET SALES.

The street sales of The TIMES are constantly
growing; and this perhaps is the best COM
pliment that the paper can pay itself. for it is
hard to induce boys to handle a one-cent
paper. and it is only because the demand for
The TIMES is very brisk that the volume of
street sales grows continually from day to
day. The home circulation is the chief feat
ure of The TIMES circulation. The TIMES is
a paper for the family. But it is also becoming
so well known that people must have it on
the street There is no question that men
and women of all walks of life like The TIMES.
1t helps them to be prosperous; it helps them
to be comfortable and happy. -'

PROF. GLEASON AND THE HORSES
A Remarkable Exhibition of Training at
Convention Hall Inst Nigh:.

A Remarkable Exhibition of Training at
Convention Hall Last Night.
Thousands OF persons who could Eot secure
seats, owing to the rush, stood up and craned
their necks to see the marvellous power Of
Prot. Gleason over refractory horses at Con-
vention hall last night. The crowd was i'm
mense and attested its appreciation by fire.
quent bursts of applause.
Horses of all shades OF breed and condition
were brought to the professor and reduced to
the most tractable and gentle demeanor The
exhibition is well known to Washington. and
the entertainment last night only attests
the fact that Prof. Gleason improves his
powers with his years.
Horses which the professor had never seen
before and which had never known aught
but their own will were brought to him and
were successfully subdued, driven through
waving American flags, made TO stand quietly
over exploding punches OF fire crackers. and
forced to silently submit to bass drums and
tin cans ratified in their faces.
Not the least of the entertainment was the
entertaining talk Of Mr.. Gleason, which con-
tinued through the widest antics of the ami
mails. and the amusing caution exercised by
the attendants. who were fearful of bodily
injury from the beasts.
Prof. Gleason will exhibit again this even
ing. and all who have Above for the king OF
animals should witness his splendid abilities
in the matter of training.
