Ell NUEVO DON JUAN

kEAlStlO ueu Juan 1cnOrlO,
Ell que aun siendo un Lucifer
SO va al cielo sin hacer
escala en- ell purgatorio2
aEs engendro solamente
de exaltada fantasia,
al que dio la poesfa
vida, luz, color y ambientei
Aquel apuesto y gentil
quimerista sevillano,
el de aliento soberano
Y ell de arranque yaronil;
el que q todo Sc resiste,
sin cuidarse de su fama,
no solo existe en- ell drama.
sino que en- ell mundo existe.
No es, ciertamente, un refiejo,
en- 10 ffsico, de aqu6l,
porque mas que dc doncel
tiene ell burlador de viejo.
Y siendo SUI edad va critica
para andar en- amorios,
dedica todos sus brios
y su astucia 4 la politica.
(Con 10 relatado basta
para que ell mas inocente
comprenda perfectamente
que me refiero q Sagasta.)
Seguido de escasa grey
de NADIA justo hace caso;
le cierra una ley el paso
y arremete con la ley.
Dos 8 tres nOches hara
le OF esta lamentaci6n,
asomado a su balloon,
de la calle de Alcala:
"Hermosa noche, Jay de mi!
iCuantas como 6stas tan puras
en- roliticas locuras
desatinado perdi!
lCuantas al mismo fulgor
de esa luna trasparente,
me burle de tanta gente
como anda q mi alrrededor"
Pero estos breves instantes
de sano arrepentimiento
duran en- el un momento
y yuelve a ser 10 que antes.
Con las armas La cinta
y en- espera de batalla,
ahora cabalmente Sc halla
en- la escena de la quinta.
En- braZos de dofla Ines
y Oh deliquios tSnerarios,
50 olvida de sus contrarios,
ajeno i todo reeves.
Inventando mil registros
asi vive su excelencia;
Ines es la Presfdencia
del Consejo de Ministries.
I solo atento su amor
enervase en- ell regalo,
mientras viene don Gonzalo;
que hay tambisn Comendador.
Su gobierno esta en- un iris
y La historic SO suspende;
veremos 81 Sc defiende
del anciano y de don Luis.
Mucho temo. va veran,
que no pueda haber q mano,
un bergantfn italiano
para escaparse don Jnan.
Facil es que la carrera
de este Tenorio moderno
concluya con su gobierno
en- esta parte primera.
Lo cierto es que el nuevo Mdrt,
yacila, pese a su fama
Celebrare que este drama
no tenga segunda parte.

SELF HELP.

Our sprightly little neighbor, New
Castle, is furnishing a wholesome object
lesson for the doctrine the EVENING
JOURNAL loves TO preach the doctrine
Of self help The greatest fallacy preva.
lent in political economy Of to day is the
fallacy taught by underling traders that
certain Industries, usually the industries
in which they are engaged, need protec-
tion; that II those particular industries
are not fostered for the beneficiary
profit, at the expense Of the people, they
will collapse, or in their phrase, "be de-
stroyed
That Is fateful error which in
huences one small class of the community
to depend for support upon the people.
There Is another class, the pensioners,
who, numbering million strong now,
are depending directly on the Treasury Of
the United States for the bounty By
which they are maintained
New Castle is presenting an object
lesson in contradiction Of the fallacy.t that
one man should depend for support upor
all othel men or that one class OF mel
has any superior claims over all Other
classes for support, and that the mel
composing It can demand special legisla-
tion for their private benefit
This object lesson is that New Castle
industries are all at work giving EN-
, ployment 20 the entire community; thai
there are no strikers, no vagrants, n,
vagabondism, no Coxeyism. But, bettei
even than all these, is the fact that
new pottery is to be started there oi
the principle which the EvENIN,
JOURNAL commends to all industrie
everywhere. This pottery is to be starte'
because, FIRST, the raw material is there
and second, there is an intelligent, skill
full self-re,isnt man who knows how q
Evening journal., 1894-04-23

use the clay he finds there in the art of
making pottery.
These are the chief things requisite for
any industry; first, the material, then
the man who has the skill and the enter.
prise TO use that material. With these
two elements there may be accessories
which may be advantageous TO any local
manufacturer but there are few other
requisites which are not found every
where.
With these two elements no man in this
country needs protection in his private
business. No factory should have auy
legislation for its particular benefit.
The man who in such case would ask
protective tariff on the goods he pro-
poses to make, would confess that the
location is bad, or that he is incompetent.
Il would be a confession that such a
factory is, at the start, and, of course,
evermore afterwards, failure. If either
Of these confessions should be true then
how can any man who ever opened the
leaves Of political economy or ever looked
at the balance sheet Of any factory, main
tain that such an enterprise could be
valuable to community, or that such a
man was not burden, rather than q
benefit to the community
An intelligent man cannot avoid the
conclusion that this pottery is proposed
oa the right principle; that no protec
tion is needed for the factory and nc
pension should be given to the man who
proposes to start It,.
Neither one OF these things could be
done without cost to the consumers or ia
the people. Any cost to the consumers
for the purpose Of maintaining factory,
or to the people for pensioning a man, nc
matter what benefits either may confer
on the community or the country, j:
wrong in principle, and danger
GUS in practice. There is nc
escape from this argument. The
man who thinks there is any escape from
it Is entertaining the fallacy that waste
makes wealth, or the fallacy that By
pensloning one msn with large sum o
money annually a great benefit may b
conferred upon other men who rely upor
him for support. The situation at New
Castle, and especially the proposed new
pottery factory, contradicts both of thes'
fsllacies.

First Night Boat on the ChOptank.

Theyblowing of the night steamers
whistles one stormy night this week
brought to memory the first trip made
by steamer between Easton and Balti-
more at night 1t has been just twenty
eight years ago since Captain Z. T.
Leonard began the night line to Easton
snd.ponts on the Choptank river From
the start the line was successful, and
from It's growth has come the trade and
corporations Of the present day. Captain
Leonard Is a splendid specimen Of man
hood, a typical commander and one who
maintains the best traditions Of the
courtesy and hospitality of the commerce
on the Chesapeake. It is an interesting
chain Of circumstances which connects
the founder Of the first line on the
Choptank with his grandson, who
started the FIRST night line, and who still
continues in command of a Choptank
steamer -Easton Gazette.

Two Hot Headed Southern Youths Fight In
a small Room.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, April ga deplor-
able tragedy here resulted in the death Of
one young man and the possibly fatal
wounding of another. Walter l.. Brag,
son of the late interstate commerce com
missioner, and DIR. Jesse Mattel had mis-
understanding at the theater, where Sen
ator Morgan spoke. They did not know
each other, but had seats close together.
Mattel spoke to Brag regarding the posi-
tion in which the latter placed himself,
claiming that he was Obstructing his view
of the stage and speaker. He finally said
TO Brag, "a gentleman would not act that
way" Brag then gave his name and asked
Naftels in return, with the statement that
the matter could be settled afterward.
Brag went into drug store where Naf.
tells Office is located and asked Mattel To
step aside. They went to the rear, where
a partition separated the store into two
parts. Those in front heard no conversa
ton, and the first they knew of the diff
Guilty came with the sound of rapid firing
Who fired first or what was said is not
known. Brag was fatally shot in the alb
domen and died in an hour.
Mattel was wounded in two or three
places, but not seriously except where
pistol ball struck him squarely be
tween the eyes on top of the bridge oi
the nose. Mattel was taken TO his home
Brag was an attorney of decided ability
and bade fair to make a reputation.

.Fun with sparrows.

John Il. Evans, Of Rolph's wharf, gives
the following tfiectivesmethod of getting
rid Of English spsrroSs: These pests
we're numerous at Rolph's wharf, and
about Christmas, several years ago,
several young men conceived the idea of
taking bright light and capturing the
birds at night This worked successfully,
and, once caught, the fun was continued,
aud shooting cracker was tied to each
birds leg, the captive was set free, and,
when up in the air, the cracker went off
The bird, unhurt, though terribly
frightened, sometimes fell to the ground,
and sometimes sailed away in the dark
ness. This sport, at the expense Of the
irrepressible sparrows, was continued for
several nights and finally the place was
entirely rid Of the noisy pests.-Chester'

The bane Of the industrial workers Of
this country is that fallacy teaching
them they can depend, in many cases
that they must depend upon legislative
aid for profits. Legislative aid Is rem
dered uncertain Dy politics. That of it
self is sufficient reason why no prudent
man should depend on it, But legisla-
tive aii In addition to favoring one man
above another man or one industry at
the expense Of all other industries, Is,
besides the uncertainty Of it, unjust,
immoral aud costly. 1t is easy to con-
ceive how legislative aid may lead to dis
honest practices between those who are to
receive the benefits and those whose posi-
tions enable them TO grant those benefits
A little investigation by any candid man
will reveal instances where industries
have been favored by dishonest legisla.
tors. During every session of Congress
for fifteen years expensive lobbies have
been maintained at W ashington by all
the great trusts. Surely, those lobbies
are not maintained for the sole
purpose of giving infor nation d
statistics to the dlsinterested aud
acrupulously honest legislators. These
evils, which have become notorious,
unite with the prevailing fallacy, that nc
industry is self-supporting, to render.pro-
tectlonism the bane Of the members Of
our Industrial classes. Many working
men assume the attitude of pensioners
and practically demand that the public
shall support them. One need to look
into the face Of a professional pensioneI
only TO perceive the harm that system
has worked. There is no manliness In
the face Of dishonest or unworthy

GOVERNOR LEwELLING, Of Kansas, In
an interview, said that Congress ought
to provide for Coxey's army, whether 1t
was composed Of vagabonds or not. Gov
ernor Greenhalge did not agree with
that sentiment when the same class Of
vsgabonds entered the State House in
Boston and demanded that they should
Ego in and clean out the Legislature. y
he made sensible speech telling them
that It was their duty to take care Of
the State not the States duty to take
care OF them. When they would not
listen to reason and fair speech the gov
ernor called the police TO impress the

Action Expected to BE Taken BY the
Councils Second Branch.
General Felix Agnus is confident that
the Second Branch of the City Council
will follow the lead Of the First Branch
on Monday night and pass resolution
appointing a committee 60 co operate I'm
calling a meeting at Fords Opera House
for consideration Of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal project.
General Agnus said to-day that con-
siderable interest had been aroused in
the plan which be advanced, and ne had
no doubt that with the aid OF the Balti.
more newspapers which have evinced
sympathy with the project something
tangible toward building the canal
would be accomplished shortly He has
the cree tender of Ford's Grand Opera
House for public meeting on the sub
iect any afternoon OF on the nights of
May 16 and II next It is probable that
one of the latter dates will be chosen.
"If the City Council takes the action
expect" said General Agnus 81 shall
probably appear at the meeting with a
proposition to build the canal ready for
an expression Of popular sentiment aud
a vote upon it. II it is accepted, with
the charters already granted by the
Legislature, a ditch could be cut from
one bay to the other for so, 900. 900 and
the current, with four-foot fall, will
do much to save additional expense.
Then we shall be ready to ask the
Federal Government to build ports and
do the rest, and undoubtedly we shall
get what we want Baltimore News.

story of an oyster catching a duck by

which is vouched for by the gentleman
who saw it, and who told It the other

ago was walking along the LeCompte's S
bay shore Of Horns point in Dorchester
county. A flock OF young puddle ducks

for coddling the Coxeyites after

Senator Aliens speech, and having de-
Tended the officers Of the District

Three hundred employees Of the Consoli-
