IN THE THEATERS.

The return of the William Morris
company to the Metropolitan opera
house tonight is welcome not only on
account of its past achievements in the
field of art. but also for the higher order
of plays which it will present during
this engagement. The initial produc-
ton will be Alexander Dumas greatest
story, 1.-The Three Guardsmen," the
most pretentieus play SO far presented
by this capable company. Mr.. Morris
will be seen in the part of D'Artagnan,a
happy commingling OF impetuosity and
dramatic fire, part entirely unlike any
in which he has been seen during his
ST. Paul engagement, but for which
nature has eminently fitted him in voice
and physiqae. The charming simplicity
Of Constance will be depicted by Miss
Eta Hawkins. Miss Leonora Bradley
will be seen in the part of Queen Ana
of Austria. and will wear on this occa-
sion two magnificent gowns. Ben John
son will appear as Richeieu. the part
he played with Salyini. The play will
be superblv staged. and the magniii-
cence Of the court of Louis XIII will be
reproduced with all It's Spiendor, Mr..
Morris having had, under his personal
supervision. costumes made for this
play ffoE; photographs of this period.
The ever popular Metropolitan summer
prices OF 20 and so cents will prevail.

PEDiGREEs NOT WANTED.

The logical sequence of the nomina-
ton of Mr.. MacVeagh for senator is
the nomination of Gresham for presi-
dent in '9j." says the Chica 20 Tribune.
The Tribune draws its logic from the
experience of its own party. Andrew
Johnson was Democrat; Grant was a
Democrat; Bates was Democrat, and
So was Chase. The brains of the party
i'll its first days cam. from the Free Soil
Democracy. But the time has passed
when political pedigreeS count for
everything; they count for nothing
now. There are Democratic senators
dow: in Washington with pedigreeS as
long as DdyidS, who are showing them
selves 10 be mighty poor Democrats. IL
is a question OF principles, and. on the
whole, that man is n little the best kind
OF Democrat who believes i'll the deep
rooted principles Of Democracy. aud it
Is immaterial whether his belief dates
back twenty-five years or twenty-five
months. If the bar sinister is TO be put
on the men who have become DAmo.
Gratis within recent years, leaving their
former party because convinced that
Democracy is sound aad safe and
paternaliSm is wrong and vicious, those
unmarked will have Aar.i scratching to
count majority OF the party. Prin-
ciple and character should Oe the test of
selection in the national convention of
'96. and not pedigree.

New Political deadq narters.

St. Paul Letter in Redwood Falls Gazette.
Political centers. like the centerS of
trade, shift around good deal. For
instance, few years ago the business
center of st. Paul was Third street, and
the political center of the state was the
Merchants hotel. Today the Retail
trade has moved up town" to Sixth,
Robert, WabaSha and Seventh streets.
while politicians. especially of the Re-
publican faith. now gather at the Wind
Sor hotel. which is most centrally located
at the corner of Fifth and st. Peter
streets. Whether this fact is due to the
personal popularity of Col. Monfort,
the genial proprietor, or to the fact that
the Windsor is in central location and
near to the capitol, 1t is difficult to
say, but that il Is the new political
headquarters there is no question. Dur
ing the last session of the legislature
the Windsor was the general head
quarters or the leading Republicans,
among them Gov. Nelson. Gov. Clough.
Speaker Lee, Sergeant-at-Arms BeHn.
and most of the prominent senators aud
representatives. Among those who
have engaged headquarters for The COM
ing campaign are l.. z. Hunt, II. +.
Reese, MIR. Block, Sam IverSon, A. L.
Koerner, Albert Berg and the R+pu6-
lican state central committee, the Ram
sey county delegation, and many other
leading Republicans of the state. This
will guarantee that the Windsor hotel
will be The center of political activity in
Minnesota for some time TO come.

LABOR COMMITTING SUICIDE.

The is probably no Individual or cor
poration which has less sympathy
from the public than George NJ. Pull
man and the Pullman Palace Car COM
pany.
There is no record OF liberal or en-
dearing business method ever adopted
by the Pullman company.
The deliberate and enforced plan Of
making the travelling public pay the
salaries of the po,ters, as sort OF
blackmail tribute. is i'll keeping with
the general Pullman style.
The eXtOrtionate charge for coop in
which TO sleep, and the arbitrary rule
to chain down the upper berths. wheth-
er occupied or nor, and. if occupied. 10
charge the same price as for lower berths,
are all samples of Pullman greed.
A host Of other imp0sitionS could be
cited If necessary, but what has been
noted shows that there is no such thing
as popular favor III behalf of that COM
pany. On the contrary, it is the reverse.
But because this obnoxious corpora
ton has a disagreement with its en-
plOyes, it affords no excuse tor paralyZ-
ing the business interests of the entire
country. Under the semblance Of pro-
tecting labor, the a. Il. u. is intlicting
deadly blow upon the cause it repre-
SeutS.
1t is not alone the loss of employ
ment by those who choose to quit their
railroad positions. but the suspension of
railroad traffic throws thousands out of
work where employment is contingent
upon the use of transportation.
Between those who labor and those
dependent on them there are hundreds
of thousands who do not know where to
turn for their daily bread, who never IN
the remotest degree had any connection
with the Pullman company, but Oh the
ground of sympathy" have been drawn
into the movement.
This is not taking into consideration
the business calamity and its attendant
loss which this sympathetic strike in
wolves, but only considering the dis
tress brought upon the laboring man
direct.
The loss to railroad companies, to
business men, to shippers, TO fruit
growers, to manufacturers, etc., all
finally works back upon the laborer,
and the disaster which has befallen the
country is brought about by the men
who are the real and greater sufferers
a self-imposed loss and distress.
1t is beyond the power of comprehen-
sion thai a vast body of men should be
so insane to their own interests as 10
allow few persons who wish to eXalJ
their positions and salaries. to lead them
to their own destruction.
There is no tenable ground for men
without a grievance of their own 10

when such strike brings suffering and
loss to themselves or innocent people.
it becomes akin to crime. The
great mass who are harmed by such a
procedure are either actual members OF
the working classes, or in hearty SYM
pathy with labor. and the temple OF toll
Is simply being destroyed IN the home
of its pretended friends.
When people are SO blind as to be I'M
able to see and act upon the laws of
self preservation, the boosted intelli-
gence and ability for self-government
is suffering a serious eclipse, and it will
be fortunate if it does not become total

Barring out that part of the people,
an Insignificant number. and so mo-
tived as to entitle them to no consider
alton, who would have perpetual sur
cease of coinage of silver dollars, max
ing that metal serve henceforth the
purposes of copper and nickel, there is
no question that the attitude not only
of the great business interests of the
country, but of ali vocations, is favora-
bic to the largest possible use OF silver,
provided only that it is 80 used as not

would be a silver recommendation, con-
tracing the currency violently by the

SENATORIAL NOMINATIONS.

The only possible chance for reform
alton of tile senate of the u nited States
lies in the nomination of senatorial
candidates by state conventions. 1t is /.
evident that a change in the form Of

significant as was that which changed

conventions and The electoral college
into mere ratifying bodies. Is be-un

the established custom, disloyaity to
