BEAUTY AND CHIVALRY.
COMBINED WITH MUSIC AND FLOWERS
Made the Grand Ball at the shops Last Night a Memorable Eevent, Around Which Happy RecolIec-
 tiOns wIlI Cluster.

Three thousand people assembled voices laden with words of pleasure; 5000 happy hearts quiyering with ecstasy
 Such was the case last night at the grand ball given in commemoration of the opening of the new railroad shops recently erected in this city. Bey the shadow of q doubt the dancing-hall, which for convenience and comfort, has no superior in the South, presented the most tasteful and artistic display of decorations ever seen in this city. Red, white and blue; the stars and stripes, hung in graceful festoons of great length and proportions all over the build ing Hanging-moss, palms and ferns were used in great profusion and with special care. Ever and anon were seen chandeliers made of rail- road lanterns suspended from the eross-beams. In addition to these lights were numbers of headlights from locomotives situated principally in the corners of the large hall. Then too, there were suspended from all the decorations at regular intervals Japanese lanterns of all shades and colors. All these combined to throw their soft, mellow rays of light into the smiling faces of the at tendants which reflected them i'll in- creased brilliancy and glory. Truly the decorations were gorgeous, and not only so, but intensely sublime and peculiarly attractive.
 Messrs. L. E. Owens. T. Il. Osborn, and W. W. Olcott were the artists that made the hall.a veritable para | disc
 The grace, beauty and chiyalry oi this city and her sister towns and cities had assembled by 8 o'clock to do high honor to the occasion and to glide in graceful cadence to the rich melody of Kuttner's orchestra oi ! Little Rock.
 Music brings order out of con. I fusion, makes regularity of chaos, adds charms to the lovers smile increases the ire of u rivals rebelious nature, fires the soul of the patriot with additional zeal, and whef righ tly used spreads happiness every where. The last assertion was verified in the highest degree last night at the ballroom. Every SC lection, as will be seen bH the programme below, was dedicated to some honored ane worthy person 1r cause.

THE MANCHESTER CANAL.

There is some question about the CON-
plete success OF the Manchester canal. 1t

compared to the liverpool and railroad
route. but the story now comes that two
vessels cannot pass each other In ii. II
this be true it involves delay. Vessels
will be compelled to wait at given points
until other vessels. having the right Of
way. have passed. 1t is not probable that
Liverpool will fail to realize whatever ad-
vantage may be possible from the difficult
ties Of its competitor. Wharf facilities
will be increased. charges lowered, and
timetables revised that vessels docking at
Liverpool may land their freight In
Manchester before the Manchester bound
vessel reaches her wharf. Commerce may
End some profit in the canal, even if it
does not meet all the expectations of its

COLD FOG FROM LONDON.

Harold Frederic, the London corre-
spnndent of the New York Times, throws
a cold fog upon the spectacle which closes
Gladstone's political career. While the
London correspondent may have absolute
truth on his side. the American admirers
of Gladstone would have preferred the
glamour or a little romance. That a
life so full of triumph should be nbscured
al its close by the failure If an attempt at
deception is sad indeed. Mr.. Frederic
says that Gladstone did not intend to re-
sign. He want ted 10 make show Of with
drawing from the leadership of his party
aud did so in the hope that his lieuteDa ants
would not permit him to retire. 1t was
possible that a spontaneous and united
demonstration on the part Of his follow
ers might MAKE his Withdrawal from pub
lie life less bitter. but il could not affect
the course which impelled him to with
draw. There are good eyes in many
heads that might easily be spared, but
there was no possible way by which Glad
stone might get lease of them. When
his cwn eyes gave out he had to lay down
the intellectual scepter he had welded 80
many years. All the demonstration the
Liberal leaders could make could not pro-
long their chiefs ability to lead. The
Times correspondent also assures his
readers that Lord Rosebery was not
Gladstone's choice as his successor

GOVERNOR MARKHAM ON POLL
TICS

Governor Markham is not a candidate
for denomination, as appears by an inter-
view published in Yesterdays CALL. He
also stated that he is not interested in the
can didacy of any aspirant; but he added
that in his opinion, while the counties
south Of Tehachapi will demand their
share of the offices. the Governorship this
time belongs to the northern part of the
State. Waterman, Stoneman and Mark
ham should have satisfied southern appe-
tite.
The Governor is of the opinion that this
will prove a Republican year in Califor-
MIA. 1t is possible, of course that the
Republican convention, under leadership
which the public does not trust, may make
nominations repugnant to the rank and file
of the party. and may throw away the
chances of the hour. Should the Repub-
licans make such mistake the Democracy
might improve the occasion to organize as
d reform party, as they did 10 1867, and
elect ticket by drawing support from in
dependent voters.
There is no instance in our history in
which commercial distress was not fatal
to the national party in power. We're this
the year for a Presidential election the
Democrats would have no chance. The
recent elections in New York City and
the election of Galusha A. Grow as Con-
gressman-at-large from Pennsylvania by
the overwhelming majority of 10000 are
straws which serve as weather vanes.
1t is the singular misfortune of President
Cleveland that he has been deserted by
his own party. There can be no chance
of the election of any Democrat by popu-
lar vote unless the candidate cuts loose
from Cleveland and through great personal
merit secures the support of good citizens
regardless of party. But If the Republicans
become too confident and allow the bosses
aid monopOlists to dictate their nomina-
tions the Democrats may organize for good
local government, repudiate Cleveland,
and, with a clean ticket. have at least
fighting chance of success.

IMPOLITIC AND UNJUST.
The New York World says:

The New York World says:
Strike raw material out of the Wilson bill
and ii Will be in principle as much a protec-
ZIONIST measure as the Mckinley BILL
The injustice and impolicy of admitting
raw material free while extending protec-
ton to the capital and labor engaged in
converting this raw material into finished
goods are apparent. Under absolute fre,.
trade the things the producer of raw ma
terial has TO buy would be cheaper than
under partial free trade and partial pro
lection. Under absolute free trade the
producer Of raw material would therefore
buy in cheaper market than he could
have ii the manufacturer is protected. In
the one case he will be partially compensat.
ed for the lower wages his labor will com-
mand by the lower prices of raw mercban-
disc. but in the other his wages will he
lowered and the prices of merchandise
be maintained. Such tariff cannot stand.
The Wilson bill may become a law. but
the campaign 10 repeal it will commence
as soon as the bill Is signed. A tariff for
revenue only would be given fair show.
Both parties would make the best of IL
although protectionsts would not be recon-
ciled to the same rate of duty on non.
competing goods. But there would be a
show of promise in subjecting all imports
TO one rate of duty. But when the pro.
ducers Of raw materials realize that thew
work under free trade conditions and
live under protective conditions. they will
become political unit animated with the
single purpose to put an end to policy
so manifestly unjust.

NOTHING IN THEM.

Now that the attention Of Congress is
being given to some plan by which the
Nicaragua canal can be constructed it is
natural that reports should circulate to
the effect that work on the Panama canal
is to be resumed. The Panama CORE
spondent of the New York World is put
ting in some good work in that way. for
which he will probably get his reward.
These reports should not distract the at
tention of Congress from the Nicaragua
canal project. If the latter is constructed
under such Government responsibility as
to keep the cost at nominal figures the
Panama canal would only get the over
flow of business if the Panama canal were
completed at about the same time. Unless
engineers are much at fault the Nicaragua
canal can be built for less than
500, 100000. while the Panama car al will
cost at least three times a much. AS in.
terest on the capital invested will be a
fixed charge, from which insolvency is the
only escape, the Nicaragua canal will have
decided advantage in this respect.
Again, as the Government would be CON
tent with 3 per cent on the bonds issued to
construct the canal with, and as private
capital would either water the stock or
demand higher rates of interest. the abso-
lutte difference in cost would be made rela-
lively greater in determ ming the rates oi
toll. The Nicaragua canal may be under
taken with the full conviction that ii AZ
fords the cheapest and speediest route be.
tween the Atlantir and Pacific oceans
Other possible routes are too we'll known
to warrant an apprehension that better

HOW TO MAKE TIMES GOOD.

In a recent interview ex-Speaker Reed is
reported as saying:
There Is no way to put money in circulation
except through wages paid. Issuing Govern
ment bonds doesn't make circulation. The
laborers must earn it and sDend IL, md that
Will make il flush. The staislcIans say the
20,O0O,00o laborng people in this country

10 S4o,00O,0o0 a day. The Wilson tariff bill
will cui these wages from 10 to 20 per cent.
The 10 per cent cut on S40.0Oo.oOO will be a
loss of S4.o0o,Ooo a day to laboring men, or
Sl,200.000,000 a year. 20 per cent cut
In wages will take S3,o0O.oo0,o00 out Of
circulation. One-tbird or our labor is idle now.
This idleness Is costing us probably $4,000.
600 day. / do not wonder that the times are
hard and that money is tight. There Is money
enough in the banks. They are glutted. but
labor isn't getting IL. 1t will stay there till
labor gets it out.
MIR. Reed has hit upon the secret Of
flush times. Steady work and fair wages
distribute money through all classes that
go TO make up community. An idle day
is dead waste. A cut in wages is, so far
as the community is concerned, dead
loss No class distributes money as the
laborers 90. There is nothing the laborer
does not buy that he can afford TO buy.
He will buy homestead if ne sees his
way clear TO pay for it. furnish his home
comfortably If he can, be good customer at
the grocery-store, the dry-g goods store and
in genera! way reach as far into the do
main of Injuries as his earnings will per-
NIT. One reason why manufacturing
States grow rich while agricultural States
often barely live is the thorough manner
in which manufacturers utilize the labor
force at their disposal. The farmer has a
great many days during the year either
unproftably employed or not employed at
all. In the factory work and wages go on
the year through. Contrast the South be-
fore the war with New England. The
former section seemed to ssess all the
elements of prosperity; the latter was
less generously treated by nature, but the
industry of her people more than supplied
the difference. Mr.. Reed is right. The
way 10 put money in circulation is
through wages.
