The tremendous tariff issue, over
which the campaign Of 1892 was
fought, for which millions Of dollars
were spent and thousands of torch
light parades were held, seems now
to give pain to many people who
thought the fate Of the country de-
pended upon the Issue. After a
great uprising to secure tariff reform,
here Is the way Henry Wat terson de-
scrlbe8 what has been 50 far secured.
namely the Senate bill:
"a mongrel piebaId Of patches and
puslIIanlmity, grotesque hodge
Podge Of pretense and pettifogging,
nondescript abortion of incompct-
ency, Seli8hness, cowardice. and
treachery."
Senator Brice is not SO fluent; he
calls it ga free lunch," ard Matt
Ransom says "nothing unconstitu-
tlonal." Certainly if this tariff bill
IL not unconstitutional, then nothing

NO TROUBLE AT THE SHOPS

Rumors of Trouble over the New Car
shops Foreman seem to be Unfounded.
There seems to be no, or at least very
little, truth in the story that there was
any trouble or signs Of any at the Santa
Fe car shops yesterday or the day before
between the new general foreman nj.
Manson, and the men The story cIrcu-
lated was to the effect that the
men objected TO the new man be-
cause he had been a Pullman
employe before coming there. lie came
here two days ago and took charge yes
terday IN place Of General Foreman VIM.
I. Kneal, who had resigned TO accept
another position. 1t was given out that
he came to Topeka from the New York,
New Haven 81 Hartford road and it was
said that the men had discovered he was
from Pullman. Hence the rumored up
rising
A JOURNAL reporter visited the shops
today and found no signs of any trouble
or rum0red trouble.
Said 6Ir Manson: Il have never heard
of it before. There is not the slightest
indication of anything Of the sort. The
men are all working aud seem ~ be sat
istied. / came from the n. ". II. Ii. &
H. road where l had been a foreman IN
their shops. 1t is true that L was once
for short time employe Of the Pull
man company
The reporter talked with a good many
of the men and they all seemed to be sur
prised at the report There is plenty Of
work in the shops for all the hands.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.-The star at
traction of the season in this city for low
ers Of pacing was today's big race
between Robert J. 2:O11s and John r.
Gentry, 2:O334 at the Old Point Breeze
track. A purse of $4,000 was offered as
an inducement for these recognized kings
of the side wheelers. and as Gentry's
owner was dissatisfied with the recent
meeting between these two thorough
breds when it was claimed that Gentry
defeated Robert J. by a head, although
the heat WAS given to the latter, Nc Henry
jumped at the chance to get even with
Hamlin's star
The track which was thoroughly soaked
by the recent neavy rains, had dried out
remarkably WELL and with the ption
of 4 soft spot on the back stretch and
another at the head of the stretch was in
perfect condition. Old horsemen, how
ever. who are familiar with the track,
claim that it IS two seconds slow.
= 2:09 trOt was down on the program
for the initial event, but the spectators
paid but little attention to anything as
snail-lize as 2:09. They had their appe-
tites whetted for the pace and when
John r. Gentry and Robert ). made their
appearance on the track they were
cheered to the echo.
Ed Geers held the reins over Robert j.
and McHenry sat behind Gentry.
The attendance was about 5000.
First heat. ,: g class trot, purse s 1900,

FELIX NORRIS COMING.
A Really Good List OF Attractions for the
Next Two Weeks

A Really Good List Of Attractions for the
Next Two Weeks.
Mr. Crawford is TO be complimented
for succeeding in getting an attraction
for this month good as Felix Morris,
who viii be at the Grand on Wednesday
evening. the 14th
Felix Morris is not a very we'll known
actor in the west for he has never been
induced before to get out in the country
and make one night stands for the very
good reason probably that he has al
ways had all he could do ia the larger
eastern cities. He has held long and
successful engagements IN the best
theaters and is generally regarded in the
east as one of Americas most successful
comedians.
He will probably appear in ssThe Best
Man." the piece ne has been playing at
the Schiller theater, Chicago.
There is to be another really good act
or at the Grand on Saturday night.
W lille Collier. the quaint comedian. will
appear IA the new cOmedy-drama. "A
Back Numb ber,' by Edward Z. Kidder,
author of peaceful Valley "a Poor
Relation" ETC. The name Of the author of
Dir. Golfers new play shows in itself the
advance he has made from farce to legit-
innate comedy. W lille there is no sug-
gestion of ''hcrse play in "a Back Mum
ber," it must not be imagined there is an
absence of humor. Mr.. Collier has put
behind him the grotesque cOstuming
and makeup required to make plays of
a certain kind 90, but wherever the play
has been seen the press has been unani-
nous in saying that he Is funnier than
ever. The higher plane in which he IS
now making his efforts gives greater
scope for the display of droI humOr.
which has made him SO great favorite
in this and other cities.
On Monday night the Iowa State band
will be the attraction at the Grand This
is spoken Of as one of the best musical
organizations of the day. 1t made rep
utation for itself at the Worlds fair that
has induced it to go on the road A good
deal Of money has been spent in making
it what it is.
Following is the list Of attractions for
the next two weeks: Tuesday, the 9th.
"A Silver Wedding" comedy; Thurs
day. the Sth, the comedians, Conroy and
Fox. in Hot Tamales;7 Saturday. the 1Olh,
Frohman's Jane; Monday. the 18th,
Neil Burgess company in the County
Fair Wednesday, the 14th, Felix Nor
ris in The Best Man
The Clark s. Parkinson Company
At Crawford's opera house the Park
inson Comedy company is still giving
good entertainments for a cheap com
pany. Parkinson himself is very supe-
rior to his company.
The case Of Marsh Meredith who as
6aulted a man named Martin a few days
ago has been continued to next Wednes-
day afternoon by Justice Chesnev.

SITUATION I'm MINNESOTA.
Democrats Losing All Their Voters to
the PopuIisls.


ST. PAUL. Nov. 2.-Today's reports to
the Republican and Democratic state
central committees we're not reassuring.
The drift of the vote toward Owen, the
Populist candidate for governor. is grow
ing heavier every day, and at Populist
headquarters they are making claims
that Owen Will be elected by a plurality
exceeding 10000. This movement Of the
vote toward Owen is not because Of sud
den popularity of the Populist candi-
dates. bnt because Of a feeling which has
become general the past ten days that
the Great Northern Railway company
is in control Of the leaders Of both the old
parties.
It now seems certain that Owen Will
receive 10000 votes in St Paul and not
less than $4,000 IN Minneapolis Heavy
increases for owen are also reported
from the country. A poll of Grant coun-
ty, concluded yesterday, gives Becker,
Democrat, but twenty five votes. At the
Republican state headquarters it is now
admitted that the seventh congressional
district viii give a Populist majority Of
several thousand. The vote which is
drifting over to the POpulists has hither
TO been largely Democratic.

Mr. Elliott says he formerly lived in
Washington county and at one time had
some trouble with the ST. Joseph

about d homestead but he never heard
MAJOR MorrilFs name mentioned in con-
nection with the affair and he did not
know there was such man in existence
at that time, and that anyway. he did uos
lose his homestead, as the interior de-
partment straightened his title to his
claim out all right when the facts we're
presented.
