COMPETITION.

There Is theory now being discussed
which conflicts with the old adage tina com
ietittOn is the life of trade. Competition.
say these theorists, is the ruin of trade.
1t prevents the industrial world from
enjoying life. No man can say to himself
that he has reached that point at which he
can defy competition. He has to keep his
eyes open lest some wideaWake chap will
get ahead Of him. The theorists say that
if men in the same lines of business would
agree not to compete life would be much
pleasanter to them. Many expenses they
now incur would be avoided Let the
consumer find the producer and strike up
bargain without the aid of middlemen.
Let the commercial traveller be annihlated.
He does no good. He only makes the
goods he sells more costly to the purchaser
than they would be. And then there is
competition in style. Why do society
leaders need new dress every dayp Why
do they pay eX0rbitant prices for new and
original ideas in things to wear? Why
does man who keeps four horses buy
four more because his neighbor has six?
The most effective way to kill competi-
tion has been discovered and put in prac-
tice by Postmaster-G Bisgell. The
stroke of policy by which the Postmaster
General secures a monopoly of the manu-
facture of suits for Uncle Sans letter
carriers indicates business ability of high
order. The Postmaster General does not
propose to allow competition to disturb
the slumbers of the tailoring firm he has
selected TO do this branch of public bust
ness. A note from the department to the
letter-carrier is in most cases sufficient.
The Postma Generals pet tailoring
firm will not need to spend money in ad-
vertising nor in soliciting orders. He
holds his customer by the throat, and can
truly say to him that if be buys uniforms
elsewhere he will have no use for uniforms
much longer.

PREGNANT TESTIMONY.

very suggestive page has been added
to the criminal history OF California. The
derailment OF the first train which left
Sacramento for San Francisco after the
late tIe-up settled the fate of the strike.
Whatever tha chance of success up to that
date. the railway union had none after
ward. The fact that skilled hand had
tampered with the track left no doubt in
the minds of the public at large that the
detesta bic crime was perpetrated by per-
soma who sYmpathized with the union, If
not by order of the local leaders. This
opinion was so general that it would have
been an act of wisdom on the part of the
union to have ordered the strike off imme-
diately. Several of the strikers are now
on trial at Woodland. There is a strong
chain of testimony pointing to the guilt of
two of them. This chain was much weak
ened on Tuesday by the admission of Wit
ness LesheT that he expected to be paid
for his testimony The admission threw
the prosecuting attorneys into state Of
CONSERVATION. A motion was almost i'm
mediately made to withdraw the witness.
Judge Fisher allowed the witness TO be
withdrawn. This has the effect to wipe
mems morals the Judge has no power.
The judicial sponge is flourished in vain in
such cases. The attorneys of the railroad
who handle the case ia court have assumed
a position Of dignifed amazement. They
do not admit that Lesher spoke the truth,
but still think it we'll to disclaim particl-
patton in the methods of which Lesher
accused somebody. The defendants Coun-
sell acquit them personally, but do not ad-
nit that Lesher told the story duplicating
Worden in the crime under investig alton
from pure love of lying.
This case would not linger in the mem
ory as it will If the railroad company had
not had such wonderful luck in courts,
and legislative bodies. While
no one will charge the officials with buy
ing witnesses it is we'll known that there is
a crowd of small-fry lawyers and Doliti-
clans in their service who would consider
such trick evidence of smartnsss All
the high officials want to know is re-
suits. Let a thing be accomplished and
details are irrelevant. 1t is better to
double the compensation without being let
into The mysteries of underground prac-
tice than to know too much. One fact
stands out in bold relief. The deralment
Of train No. lost the union the strike.
Public opinion became in a day as sharp
against the strikers as it had been for
them. There has been no doubt of the
guilt Of some men. as yet unknown, who
thought they were acting in the interest
Of the strikers. The testimony of Lesher
raises doubt. No one Will intimate that
The diabolical deed was sanctioned or even
known of at railroad headquarters, but
there may be a doubt if these high officials
are cognlzant of all that is done in their
service.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

Cowen's hitherto ill-starred opera, "Slgna,"
has now been reduced to two acts, and makes
a worthy addition 10 those brief tragic operas
so much In vogue. On It's recent performance
in London it was excellently received. and Sir
Augustus Harris Is much commended for hav-
ing given the composer, who was not kindly
treated by SonZogno when the work was pro-
duced IN Milan last autumn, another chance.
The Iibrelto, written by the late Gilbert a
Beckett, is founded on Ouida's novel of the
same title. Sigma is young rustic, who has
been brought up by bis uncle Bruno, Tuscan
farmer. He has conceived passionate fond
ness for music. and especially for the violin. A
travelling impresario named Satorio hears the
lad and perceives his talent and offers him an
engagement, which he refuses. until bis fllgbly
sweetheart, Gemms. says she will 60, and
alone, unless sigma will accompany her. Soon
Gemma tires of sigma and leaves him. and the
poor boy abandons everything for the sake OF
the faithIess girl. Bruno hears OF this. comes
to Naples interviews Gemma, and eventually
draws his knife and stabs the girl. sigma en-
ters and is told by his toodevoted guardian
that she claims him no longer. "Tis FALSE"
he exclaims, "she is mine forever" and kills
himself, dying at Gemma's side. The moral of
this story Is not obvious, but It's suitability as
the foundation of a tragic opera must be fully
admitted.
Miss Constance Bache has just translated

ANOTHER SON OF MAINE.

The nomination of Thomas B. Reed in
his old district does not seem to have cost
much effort. The nomination not only
came to him freely but it was accompa-
MED by a declaration of opinion that his
constituents were also nominating the
Speaker of the next House. OF course
there is GO doubt of Mr.. Reeds election.
Two years ago he ran two or three thou
sand ahead of his ticket. and caused some
Republicans to think that a Republican
tidal wave had set in. In November, how
ever, it was discovered that the wave was
the only thing real about the movement.
The wave was there but it was not Repub-
lican. II the Republicans control the next
House Mr.. Reed viii undoubtedly be
elected Speaker. What then? He will
have climbed almost as high as any man
in America can climb. The Speaker of
the House is a greater power than a Sena-
tor. The Office in fact ranks next to that
of the President There is a good chance
now for some gypsy to tell Mr.. Reeds
fortune. Is be 70 go on and win the only
prize that an ex-Speaker of the House fixes

his signature with statement of his OBJ
jectiOns to it. To veto tue bill would be an
attempt'to revitalize dead issue. There
is no charm in the Presidents name to do
that. All industries want protection, and
certainly no industry can expect to form
an exception. The Democratic party fell
to pieces with the power in its hands to
enact an out and out tariff for revenue
only law and thereby performed for the
country the greatest service it could per-
form. But after taking a good look of the
protection citadel and turning from its
contemplated attack it cannot expect the
voters to believe IN its sincerity. The
campaign of 1892 cannot be repeated within
the memory OF the present generation.

SUGAR, COAL AND IRON.

While no one will pretend to know what
Congress may do the best opinion now is
that it will pass the tariff bill as amended
by the Senate with some seeming conces-
siops to the House. II the Senate con-
ferrees should yield in the three essential
points of the Senate bill, sugar. coal and
iron, the conference bill would almost
certainly be defeated in the Senate. Sen
ator Hill intimated in his speech that
President Cleveland would veto the SEN
ate bill if it should pass. 1t is more likely
that he would sign the bill and accompany
