Full of Meaning.

The bread riot in Chicago is but a
muttering of what is to be during the
dark days of the coming winter. True
philanthrophy receives a distinctive
call for preparation. The burden of a
half-crazed populace crying for bread
must fall upon hearts given over to
benevolent activities. The country
has by no means recovered from the
severe shocks occasioned by idle in
dustries, unrest, and loss OF confidence.
Thousands of skilled workmen can
find no remunerative employment.
Many are willing, and compelled to
work one, two or three DAYS out OF
six. The prospect at present is none
too bright. Let all fair minded bust
ness men and lovers of social science
prepare for winter that is hard upon
us with its tears and distress, its cease
less demands for help, and earnest
pleadings for employment. The heart
grows sick at the estimate of the un-
employed in Baltimore. Baltimore

A DEFUNCT DEMAGOGUE.

While our love for f. Windy"
Wilson is not exactly of the Jonathan
and David or Damon and Pythias
quality, we do feel very much disposed
to give him considerable credit for as
sistance rendered the Republican par
ty. When some of his admirers were
informed at the tirne he started on the
rampage after Senators Camden and
Faulkner that he would make Repub-
lican victory certain, they were dispos-
ed to think differently, but now it is
fair to opine they have changed their
minds. His pyrotechnic gyrations
have a lugubrious effect upon his
hearers. Partisans become apparent
ly hypnotized with the belief that
their cause is prospecting, while those
of different persuasion can readily
dissipate his sophistries and correctly
diagnose his fallacies. Nothing is
more pleasant to Republican than to
have him take star part in a CAM
paign

Republicans believe that either one o
several cause.-the force bill, the
billion dollar Congress, pensions
the labor question, and an unlimited
amount of prevarication by Democrats
were each and all more responsible
for Democratic success, to make nc

to mention how the changes were rune

was that many persons voted the
Democratic ticket in the full belize
that the Senate would continue to be
Republican as during the former ad-
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland and that
no great harm could be done by him.

SOME personal HISTORY.

! The whirligig of time brings many
strange things topass. At the break
ing out Of the war Stephen B. Elkins
was young man nineteen years OF
age, having graduated at eighteen
from the State University Of Missouri
His father and brother entered the
Confederate service and every member
of Elkins' class with one other excep-
tion also enlisted under the stars aud
bars. But Elkins did not believe the
States had the right to secede and at
nineteen years of age he was captain
of a Missouri company in the Union
army, the 18th Missouri. Col Kersey
Coats commanding He was directly
under General Tom Ewing. and later
under General Schofeld. Those were
trying days in Missouri and the guer-
lila warfare and Quantrells bush
whackers kept that whole section in
ferment.
Capt. Elkins and his company were
in charge of an outpost near Kansas
city so dangerous that when General
Schofield visited it he was accompan-
led by $50 soldiers and full staff and
returned to Kansas city that afternoon.
Scho6eld, though but thirty-two
years old, was full ranked general
and magnificent man, surrounded with
all the pomp of war and full militia
~ staff. The impression which he
made on the young Captain Elkins,
then an unknown youth, was profound
and impressive.
Time rolled on and Under President
Harrison Hon. Stephen B. Elkins
became secretary of war The general
of all the armies of the United States
was the same man who at thirty
two had visited that outpost in Mis-
souri-General Schofeld. He report
Il to the new Secretary of War and
lor the second time in his life met in
an official capacity the former juvenile
captain, but now his superior! 1t
reads like romance, but truth is al
ways stranger than fiction.
For two hundred years the ancestors
Of S. B. Elkins have been Virginians
and within hundred miles, as the
crow flies, of his present home is the
birthplace of his father. The fact
that Stephen, the son, entered the
Union army and his father and
brother the Confederate is only ar
other illustration of how that rlnhap-
py fratricidal war separated families
and kindred. And yet we find TIE
home ties today unsundered and the
father spending the declining years
of his life with the son who has at
tanned such fame and honor in the
civil and commercial walks of life.
Thus again truth is greater than fc-
ton.

EDGAR BOWERS, Principa

In Fabio Romani which was pre-
scented last evening to good attendance,
the management has secured an at
traction gilmore than ordinary strength
and one which cannot be too lavishly
praised. It is melodrama, with
sense and consistency, as we'll as I'M
deniable power and unfagging inter
est. 1t is full of interesting dramatic
scenes which grapple fast to the heart
strings, while the comedy, which
comes in naturally, is not only genu-
inc but appropriate. The piece was
splendidly set, and the great earth
quake effect in the last act, coupled
with simultaneous eruption of Mount
Vesuvius, was wonderfully thrilling
and realistic. The plot starts with
the deception of husband, who is
buried alive (but revives and escapes
from the tomb by his wife and best
friend, and the punishment meted out
to the erring pair by that husband, is
a truly effective theme, and one which
the dramatists have worked out nobly.
As for the performance, not word
can be said but in its praise Walter
Lawrence who has a fine stage pres
ence and is an unusually impressive
actor, filled the dual role of "Fabio
Rcnani and Conte Olivia with digni-
ty, force and effect Fred Murray did
acceptably as Guido Ferrari, the false
friend, and Miss Engel Summers gave
typical representation of the lying
and unfaithful wife Excellent work,
aptly combining comedy and pathos,
was done by Mr.. Charles l.. Farwell,
as Respetti, a ragpicker The other
roles were adequately sustained. The
serpentine, stereopticon and Spanish
dances of Miss Grace Hunter, were
dreams of beauty and grace. -Phila-

Governments are mysteries. One

to take his place. On that April
morning, in 1865. when that brave man

and the Government at Wash
ington still lives, he uttered truth
of such magnitude that had it been
his only utterance, the name of Gar
field would have lived through the
