HUNTING FOR CRUMBS.

The Pioneer Press. which is hungrily
seeking crumbs of comfort with which
to solace its chagrin that the Democrats
have passed tariff bill through the
house, thinks it has found little one in
the bye elections in the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth congressional districts of New
York, in one of W hich Brown, the Dem
ocratic candidate. by defeated by Quigg,
Republican, and in which a Democratic
plurality of two years ago was turned
into Republican plurality of 9S4. 1t is
straw. it thinks, showing how strongly
the wind is blowing against Democracy.
If the feeling was as intense as repre-
Sented; if the Wilson bill was carrying
dlSmay into all ranks and driving the
Democrats into opposition, the vote
would shOW-a large increase of Repub-
lican votes over those of the last cleo
ton and full vote as compared with
the same. II the country were as APP
palled at the enormity-which that Or
gan paints the Wilson bill to be-which
was being thrust upon it no voter would
stay at home. He would get to the
polls if he had to get there on litter
The returns of the vote in the Four
teenth district are therefore of value as
showing the actual state of public feel
ing among the voters of that district OH
this tariff question, and now deeply
they are concerned in it. We tabulate
the totals of the SubdiStrictS for 1892
and 1891:

to preserve the discipline and enthu-
siasm of hisown army. and in this he sue
ceeded. An d in this the hour of its de-
feat.it cannot be denied that the Repub-
lican party is stronger and more united
than it was at the beginning of the en-
gagement.
Mr.. Reeds capacity for leadership is
universally acknowledged, and has been
frequently demonstrated. He possesses
sublime effr0ntery. 1t is useless to
attempt to bluff him or to keep him
prone after he has received knock
down blow. Defeat seems to but nerve
him to renewed endeavor, and as the
leader OF minority he is as dauntless
as he is audacious as the general of a
majority. He is more of statesman
than pettifogger, and has that quality
OF leadership that attracts the masses TO
his support.
Mr.. Reed Is no mean competitor of
Gov. McKinley's. He has the advan-
tage over the Ohio man of being hand
in glove with the new executive head of
the national committee of the party.
Joe Manley was an efficient aid of James
u. Blaine during the later part of his
political career. He is fertile of re-
sources, and can manipulate conven-
tons with consummate skill. There is
every reason to believe that he is thor

The Carleton Opera Company opened
a weeks engagement at the Metropoli-
tan last night with the tuneful and
ever-delightful Fra Diavolo." This
opera never pals on the lover of pleas
ant strains. Each hearing improves lite
and every number is hailed as an Fold
friend. Mr.. Carleton is the same robust
and forceful baritone as of yore. and
does his work with the precision aud
finish of the artist he is. FRA Diavelo',
is generally sung by tenor. yet itloses
little of its force or charm by transpos
sition to fit the deeper voice. Miss Marie
Bell. the Zerlina Of the cast. is bright
looking little woman with pleasant
and fairly powerful voice. She was
at the best in the bed room scene, where
she brought down the house. Miss
Vincent, as Lady Allcash. was satisfac-
tory. Jay G. Taylor is an old friend,
who has sung in st. Paul many times
before, and is justly a favorlte. His
Lorenzo was somewhat lacking in
fire, but his singing stood out we'll. Mr..
Ricketts, and Mr. Imano.as the robbers.

their parts. The chorus is not large,
but is very well trained.

MORTON .. WILKINSON.

Deaths harvest grows apace.
The generation of men who laid the
foundation of this great commonwealth
are rapidly disappearing from our midst,
and younger men must carry forward
the work they so admirably began.
The earthly career of Hon. Marten s..
Wilkinson. which closed at Wells, i'll
the southern part of the state, yester-
day morning, is an additional reminder
that the records Of the early settlers of
Minnesota have passed into history.
The burdens they bore we re far more
weighty than those which devolve upon
the present active generation. Theirs
was the formative, while the present is
the developing period. The basis
of the state having been laid broad
and deep by its founders, it is CON-
paratively easy to erect the super
structure.
Mr.. Wilkinson's life work was partic-
ularly closely identified with the state.
He came here while we were yet part
of Wisconsin, and was one of the hand
full of men which brought Minnesota
into existence. OF those associated with
him and taking any prominent part in
public affairs at the time he settled i'll
what iS now Minnesota, not half dozen
survive. The decimating death roll is
rapidly going down the line of those
WHO joined in the latter portion of the
early years of his activity.
But Mr.. WilkinSon'S name and fame
grew to be more than local-it was
national. He reflected credit upon his
constituency in the highest branch of
the legislative department Of the gov
eminent, and rendered services the
fruits OF which those of the present day
are enjoying.
There was never cloud of scandal
cast upon his public career. He labored
TO advance the public welfare, and no
hope of personal pecuniary reward ever
swerved him from the path of duty.
That his public career should have
been substantially terminated by the
failure to re-elect him to the senate was
one of those political biunders which
harmed the people he had so faithfully
served far more than himself. The
popular methods by which politicians
nowadays frequently perpetuate them
selves in power were never resorted to
by him, and he accepted personal VIC
tory or personal defeat with eq ual
equanimlty.
Holding high station. and having been
given abundant opportunity to put
money i'll his purse i'll return for official
favors, he died unsulied. poor man.
and leaves record of which his family,
his friends ana Minnesota can well be
proud.
His ability was acknowledged, and
when in public life, it was commanding.
His work was unselfish and his mem
DRY will long be tenderly aud gratefully
cherished 10y those who follow him in
the activities of life.

Robert Gaylor and company last even.
ing opened weeks engagement at the
Grand opera house in ''Sport McAIl-
ister." The plot of the play amounts to
little. 1t is practically an arrangement
of comical situations and speciality per-
formances. GaYlor, as "Sport Nc
Alllster," shines in Irish dialect, wit
and oddity. Arthur ]. O'Brien, as
Dennis McGinty, is quite as clever in
Irish idiosyncrasies. The two did some
amusing work. Joe Kelley, as Chaun-
cey Ryskts. a representa- tive Of the
Hard Cheek Life Insurance company,
brought the house down several times
by his solicitations for "llfes." The
singing OF Miss Dagmar is feature of
the enter tainment. She has the mar
velous faculty Of ranging in clear,
sweet and ringing tones from the lowest
contralto to the highest soprano notes,
and she can sing high opera
and sentimental or comic ballads with
equal facility. She was called back
three times in ''See How 1t Sparkles,"
toast song, and several times in her
warblings. Miss Alice Campbell has
also rich and sweet voice, and was
called back in 1.-The Man Who Broke

carriages contained real babies, and a
fourth carriage, in the hands of an
apparently young girl contained small

"A B undle of Life" by John Oliver
Hobbs. Author Of IA Sinners Com
edy' and "a Study in Temptation
Mr.. Hobbs fully sustains the reputa-
ton acquired by his earlier works In
this volume. The style is good, the plot
runs smoothly, and the conversations
are bright and witty. The hero of the
story, if he did not receive from his
father name. was the inheritor of di-
rectlons for his training which few
legitimate sons ever received The
strange document ran thus: He was to,
be first Christian, then scholar, and,
in course of time. a philosophical pol
itician. He was not to marry, but
should he feel drawn to the married
state. let him give the matter his best
consideration for no less term than
five years, since marriage is OF all
subjects the one most darkened by fall
lacy, falsehood and false sentiment"
During the period of prayer and refiec-
ton he was TO read neither poets nor
romances but st. Thomas Aquinas,
Cardinal Newman and the great histo-
rams, who between them, would so
satisfy mis- soul, his manliness and his
common sense that after their company
any feminine prattler would seem a
plague rather than treasure. He was
to shun. ''as he would the devil,
learned ladies, ladies with artistic gifts.
ladies who talked religion and ladies
who were not ladies'" In conclusion,
he was earnestly eXhorted to practice
the pious exercise of meditating for two
hours daily on his own nothingness!

She uses less bric-a-brac, and is careful
not to overcrowd the floor space with

she uses finely woven tapestry instead

seigniorage amounts to something over
fifty-fve million dollars. OF course it
will never-at least during the present
generation-pass into circulation, for
the supply already coined is more than
sufficient for the uses of the country for
fifty years to come. 1t Is difficult to see
what is to be gained by Mr.. BANDS
