Chaperone for a Corpse.

Yesterday an actor who fortnight ago
was known to be stranded on the Pacific slope
made his appearance on Broadway dressed in
the hight Of fashion and the deepest mourning,
says the New York Evening sun. AS his old
acquain tances met him they exclaimed stimuli
taneOusly:-
Row did you get here. Where did YOU get
the clothes? Who dead?
Inc actor waved them away imperiously
Don ask ques ions now" he cried. Il
earned the clothes, and / Travelled first-class
all the way from Frisco. There's no one
dead n Just wearing the clothes from a
sense OF the fitness of things. Keep it dark
boys, and II tell you've been chaperoning a
sun on see. 1t was like this, continued the
actor. There I was out in Frisco without a

Afterward when the actor had passed. a
manager exclaimed. How ) that for a CHASTITY
yarn: And yet know that fellow is telling
the truth. Did you notice none of the other
actors seemed surprised at his story? You'll
find that lots of actors who have played and
been stranded in the far west have chape-

You see In Denver and those other healthy
resorts fasteners are constantly dying. Often

He Was Not q Tram.

The Alabama Election.

There does not seem TO be any doubt
that the democratic ticket. led by Col.
Oates, has been elected in Alabama by a
ma Ority fully as large as that by which
Gov. Jones was elected. The victory Of
the democrats is all the more notable be-
cause this year the republicans were
united with the Kolbites and populists
and money was furnished at the east to
assist the Kolb combination.
Kolb has now been defeated for gov
ernor three times in succession, and he
ought to be satisfied that the people Of
Alabama don't want him as their chief
executive, and are thoroughly tired Of
him. His platform in the campaign just
closed was a combination of republican
principles and populist demands. It was
made with the view Of catching votes.
Such platforms seldom accomplish the
purpose aimed at, and the Kolb plat
form appears to lave hurt rather than
helped Kolbs cause
1t is evident that the populist party
has not gained strength in Alabama in
the last two years. Yesterdays election
indicates that it has lost ground,
because with the help of the Kolbites
and republicans it cut no greater figure
than it did in the last state election. The
democracy holds Alabama with a firm
hand and will continue to so hold it.

Out of Patience with the Senate.

The people are justified in being out Of
/ patience with the Senate, and it is not a
! matter of wonder that they are begin
ming to think that that body IS a hin
/ drance, rather than a benefit, TO legisla-
ton. The tariff bill passed the House on
/ Feb. /, and the Senate received it on
J Feb. , For six months the Senate
/ tinkered it. and 50 changed it that when
/ it passed that body it bore but slight
/ resem blauce TO the original measure As
II passed the House it was pretty fair
tariff reform bill. As it passed the Sen
ate it was protection bill.
And the Senate still blocks the way Of
tariff legislation. II insists that the bill
it passed shall be the bill that shall be
sent 10 the President, Notwithstanding
the fact that it is the duty Of the House,
and not of the Senate, TO shape revenue
legislation.
If the Senate had made only a few
amendments to the House bill the coun-
try would not have so much reason to
complain. But it practically threw aside
the House bill and kept the country in
suspense for six months while it framed
a new bill.
And half dozen democratic senators
dictated the new bill. One of them
wanted collars aud cuffs protected; 9TH
ers Of them wanted iron ore and coal pro
tected, and all insisted upon extraordi-
nary protection for the greatest trust in
the countryside sugar trust. And they
insist upon all of the changes they
compelled the Senate to make in the bill
Their votes are necessary TO the
passage Of the bill. They know
their power and are using it.
not in the interest of the people, but in
the interests of corporations and trusts.
They ignore their solemn declaration to
legislate for the whole people, and use
their positions to satisfy the greed of
trusts
In the meantime the people are COM
planning of the hard times. Business is
practically at standstill, and hundreds
of thousands of people are on the
verge of starvation. But the
half dozen senators do not seem
to care for the distress of the people.
They are not representing the people
They are representing trusts and they
are resolved that the trusts shall have
what they want at any cost.
II would not be surprising if the people
should begin to speak aggressively and
angrily, through mass meetings and their
trade organizations, to congress if the
tariff bill is not passed by the end of this
week. Their patience is about ex-
baustad

No Ground for Complaint.

The Hawalians now in Washington to
procure money compensation for the de-
posed queen, on the ground that she lost
her throne through the interference in
Hawaiian affairs of the United States
minister at Honolulu, complain that the
President has given them the cold Shout
der. They are trying to interest members
of congress in their mission, but are not
meeting with gratifying success.
They have no reason to complain of the
President. Notwithstanding the stories
to the contrary which appeared in the
republican papers at the time the Presi-
dent was trying by peaceable means to
restore the queen to her throne, there is
no evidence that he had any sympathy
for the queen. From the best informa-
ton he had he was convinced
that the United States minister
had aided in doing the queen a great
wrong. He believed it was the duty of
this government to undo the wrong, as
far as it could, which it had aided in
committing. In fact, he was further JUS
titled in taking the course he did because
the queen and her advisers had agreed to
iClGA all lAGSllOiS luNO4NSu III INC IDdLbeE
to him, and to abide by his decision
There was, therefore. a duty imposed
upon him which he proceeded to perform,
Notwithstanding the clamor against him
in this country on account of his deter
mination to discharge that duty. Through
the representative of this country, he
submitted to the queen certain conditions
preliminary to any action on his part
Those conditions the queen refused to ac-
cept The Presidents connection with
the matter, therefore, ended.
1t is not probable that the President
will bother himself further with the
queens affairs, A republican form of
government has been established in Ha-
wall, which this country at the proper
time will doubtless recognize. The queen
is a back number, and it is not likely that
she will ever get cent from the United
States treasury,

The papers that the Salvadorean gov
eminent will present to this government
demanding the extradition of Gen. An
tonic Ezeta, now fugitive on the Ben
niLgton, will charge that he is a bank rob
Der and is wanted in Salvador to answer
for stealing money. On the face, this
charge appears very serious, and es-
pecially is it so from social standpoint
when il is recalled that it ismade against
q man Of grace and accomplishments sufi-
Gent TO win the affections of a Georgia
gentlewoman. But, really, according to
the Central American code of ethics. the
charge amounts to nothing at all, in so far
as compromising Ezetas honor is con.
cerned. Ezeta was commanding troops
when the banks were relieved Of their
cash, and he simply made forced loans"
for the benefit of the cause. The only
reason the opposition to the Ezetas didn't
make the loans under similar circum-
stances was that Antonio got to the banks

An interesting bit Of information that
should commend itself to the free silver
ties comes from Ecuador, South America.
Ecuador is a free silver country, and the
monetary unit is a silver coin about the
size of our dollar, called a sucre and
worth about SO cents in United States
money Notwithstanding Ecuador has
been enjoying all of the delights of free
coinage under a silver standard, the
country is about to make change and
adopt the gold standard. The CONNER
cial bodies of the country have frequently
petitioned the government to make the
change, and the Panama Star and
Herald says it is to be made lin response
to the demand of public opinion" Ecua-
dor, like the Argentine Republic, Peru,
Colombia and Mexico, has found it i'm
possible to make silver worth as much as
gold by legislation and in defiance of the
laws of supply and demand.

There is no longer any mystery about
that new and brilliant projection on Mars.
If Prof " Wiggins the Canadian prophet
of terrestrial and celestial phenomena is
correct in his conclusions. He says men
have lived on Mars for millions Of years
that our progenitors were transplanted TO
the earth from Mars, leaving a greater
part Of the human family behind and
that our kinsmen on the planet, regard
ing us as lost brethren, have been search
ing for US for thousands of years. They
have been especially hopeful, he says,
ever since they saw electric lights in our
cities, and for the past dozen years have
increased their efforts to bring about a
family reunion. The strange light that

nothing more nor less than the signal Of

The populists of North Carolina, like

conclusions before they have made sure
of their premises. They imagined that
Justice Clark, of the state supreme court,
was populist because he had written a
magazine article favoring the govern
ment ownership of railroads. 1t seems
they didn't take the trouble to ask the
justice anything about his politics or any.
thing else, but just went ahead and nomi-
mated him to succeed himself on the su-
preme bench. Justice Clark would like
to succeed himself, but he doesn't want
to do it under false pretenses. He has de-
cined the populist nomination, and says
he has no sympathy with the Populist
party. He is democrat, and says if the
democratic convention, which meets at
Raleigh tomorrow, should nominate him
he would be much gratifed. He will run
on the regular democratic ticket or not
at all.

The New York Times calls attention to
the testimony of Senator Smith, given be-
fore the committee that investigated the
sugar scandal, and it looks as if further
explanation were needed from the SEN
ator, Notwithstanding the fact that the
investigating committee in its report de-
clared that none of the senator's had done
anything that deserved censure.
Senator Smith testified that he had an
impression that he had bought 1000
shares of sugar along about the last of
January or the first of February. This
was transaction that involved about
$4,000, and yet the senator declared he
couldn't be positive as to whether he had
bought 1000 shares of sugar stock or not
He said he would have to consult his
broker
On Aug, 2 he testified that he had not
bought or sold any sugar stock since the
tariff bill was sent to the Senate by the
House. The bill was sent to the Senate
Feb. @ AT that time sugar stock was
selling at about SIS per share.
If Senator Smith bought sugar stock
about Feb. 2, when did he sell it, He
| furnishes no information on that point.
The stock is now worth Sl06 per share.
1t sold for more than that a couple of
months ago When did Senator Smith
get rid of his stock Perhaps he has it
now. If so the fact that he has may
account in some measure for his efforts in
behalf of high protective duty on refined
sugar
