When, by force of character and dint
of ability and work, a man has raised
himself above the common dead level
of humanity he makes himself at
once the target of the foes he neces-
sarily creates and the object of the
unquestioning worship of his follow
ers. Great or powerful in some quail
ity, they endow him with greatness
in all. In the eyes of his worshipers,
from being in fact an irregular body
with marked protuberances, he be-
comes rounded sphere, free from
all defects. Judgment is lost in adj
miration. Gazing at the head of
brass, they do not see the clay that
forms their idols feet
Some day something happens.
Some shock of action comes to awake
them from their delusion. Their
great man shows his seamy side.
The sphere f1attens to an oblate
spheroid. The splendid vase is shat
tered. No scent Of the roses clings
to it. Grief takes the place Of adula-
ton. Bitterness abides where sweet
ness dwelt. Faith in humanity is
shaken. A lesson has been learned.
Worship no man living. Worship no
man until the MOSES grow thick on
his tombstone. Wait until the dross
of his nature is eaten away by the
corroding years and only that re-
mains which time leaves only the
brighter.

AT THE THEATERS.

Bert Coote, the young comedian who
is starring under the management of
GuStave Frohman in Laws successful
comedy 1.-The New Boy" met with an
ovation at the Metropolitan opera house
last night. 1t was the first presenta-
ton of the comedy in this city, and
proved f1attering success from every
point of view. The audience was one
of the largest and most enthusiastic
of the year, and Mr.. Coote has every
reason to feel proud of the very evil
dent appreciation of his efforts in a role
which makes so eXacting a demand
upon him. He was the recipient OF
several imperative curtain calls in the
second act and at intervals during the
progress of the play his cIeverness
was rewarded by similar tributes. He
is almost constantly on the stage. He
creates most Of the fun of the piece,
and last night succeeded in holding tho
undivided attention of his admirers
while he was in vieW-something more
pretentiouS actors often fail to do
Mr.. Coote is thoroughly original, his
work is easy, natural, quiet and al no
time does he resort to boisterous meth
DDS His inimitable drollery and keen
quick sense of humor were delightful
He is peculiarly fitted for the peculiar
role and his bright, new ideas coupled
with his eccentricity Of manner and
funny laugh won for him a recognition
that few comedians have enjoyed in
this city this year.
Mr.. Coote is admirably supported.

EDITORS, HEADS LEVEL.

The action of the Minnesota Ed
itors and Publishers association in
deciding to retain it's character as
distinctively social organization
would appear to have been the wisest
course that could have been adopted.
To attempt the scheme of organiza-
ton as an incorporated body under
the laws of the state on the lines
suggested in the report OF the COM
mittee would have been to disrupt
an organization which has existed
for almost thirty years, and which
has played a prominent part in the
business, educational and social de-
velopment of the state.
There are certain laws governing
the organization of corporations
which are superior to even the con-
stitution and bylaws of the editorial
association, and under the proVls-
ions of these laws the dual organlza-
ton proposed by the committee
could have no legal existence or
standing. The members must be
stockholders, else they are not mem
bers. so the proposition resolved
itself into the simple question OF
forming an entirely new organlza-
ton on the joint stock plan or OF re-
tanning the old organization as
social one. with incidental business
adjuncts.
Such organizations as that pro-
posed by the committee have been
ATTEMPTED in other states, and have
generally failed. 1t is not likely
that. under existing conditions, such
a plan would succeed here and now.
If the committee thinks it would, the
members may with perfect proprlety
and still more consistency attempt
it on their own account. Should
they conclude to do so they will be
acting in conformity with the reso-
luton adopted, but they could just
as we'll have done so without any
such formal action. The editorial
association of Minnesota has been a
power for good in the land, and by
the sensible and conservative actlon
of Yesterday it once more demon
strates the fact that it is composed
of men of cool heads, clean hands
and honest hearts. Long life ana
more power to the country press.

HERE'S A COMBINE.
RECEIVERS OF THE WHISKY
II TRUST RESPONSIBLE.
| NEW WHISKY TRUST
In Which All the Big DistilIeries
In the Country Are Com
d cerneG.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21-The confer
Whisky trust resulted today in the
combination of all the larger dis
tilleries in the country with the trust
to regulate the output and prevent
the overproduction of spirits. The
entire. producing capacity of the
United States, with the exception of
31a per cent is represented in the
combination, which has been named
the Spirits Distilling association.
The promoters Of the new organ
ization have been given to under
stand that the smaller manufacture
erS will cooperate with them, and it
is expected that the only concern of
any size which was not represented
the Indiana Distilling company, of
Terre Haute-will agree to the terms
which have been imposed. AS a
starting point which led to the action
taken, it was decided to sell spirits
at the actual cost of manufacture
for the present. After much calcu-
lation it was decided to fix the price
at IA cents per gallon, an advance of
two cents on the present price. This
rate will go into effect Monday
morning, and, with the tax of $1.10,
will raise the price of spirits to 1924
per gallon.
The principal object of the confer
ence, it was given out, was to pre-
vent the overstocking of the market,
and prevent a loss to the manufact-
urer rather than to decide upon a
price,

A FOOL ANSWERED.

Whcn our venerable contemporary
down the street classified the Min
neapolis Tribune as foolish" we
thought it's judgment hard, ana at
tributed it to that acerbity OF temper
which is one of the common accom-
paniments of age. It was our judgment
that the Tribune never approached
nearer idiocy than Stiffness. But we
feel compelled to acknowledge the
error of our classification, and TO
admit that our contemporary was
right in it's Many exhibitions OF the
Tribune compel US to this mod1hca-
tion of our classification, among
which is it's recent demonstration
of the evil effects to this country Of
a reduction in the tariff, resulting,
as it says, in the disarrangemento OF
our home industries, and in our
being flooded with cheap foreign
goods.
In support of this it quotes some
alleged statistics, compiled by New
York paper, showing thai in the
three months of the year beginning
with September last the imports at
New York of dutiable goods eX-
ceeded the quantity imported in the
similar three months Of the previous
year some $34 900, 900. This repre-
sents the value of the flood of cheap
foreign goods" which deluged the
country after the German act went
into effect. AS a barrier to the del
uge of foreign goods which the
Tribune so apprehends and the con-
sumers of goods SO joyously wei
come, the last act seems to be much
a superior article.
In the year ending Dec. 81, 1891,
after the passage of the Mckinley
act, the importation of dutiable
goods in this country amounted to
$39S, 1886, 266. In spite of the rush of
importation made in expectation of
the reduction of the taxes by the
Wilson bill, the total dutiable goods
imported for the same period in
1894 amounted to 1898 1888, 742. The
tendency and the passage of tho
senate bill then aided in checking
this deluge of foreign cheap goods
to an extent of $1O6, ,524 more than
the Mckinley act. We do not
present these figures as establishing
in either case the fact that the
tariff prevented us from being thus
deluged, but simply because expert
ence has taught us that it is wiser
to answer a fool according to his
folly,

Dangerous Attack on the

Trial of Strength Brought Out
on Question of Indian
Cotton Duties.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Lord Rose
bery's administration has passed
successfully through a storm which
its opponents hoped would over
whelm it, and which many friends
believed would require the most
skillful craftsmanship to weather.
Despite the predictions of the Con-
sentative papers and the more or less
badly disguised fears of the Liberal
organs, the government came out of
the contest with flying colors and a
majority that surprised even those
who would at no time admit that
there was a chance of defeat. The
question that precipitated the dam
gerous situation was made by Sir
Henry James, formerly attorney
general in Mr.. Gladstone's cabinet,
but who abandoned the Liberal par
ty on the bringing forward of the
Irish home rule scheme. BY stand
ing order No. II of the house of
commons, a member may vote for
the adjournment of the house for the
purpose of discussing a matter of
public Importance. Taking advan-
tage of this order, Sir Henry today
moved the adjournment in order to
call attention to the import duties on
cotton recently decided upon by the
government of India. 1t is claimed
by many of the manufacturers of
Manchester and other cotton centers
in Lancashire that the imposition
of these duties has had a most ser ious
effect on their business, and they de-
sired the imperial government to in,
tervene for their abolition. The cot
ton interest is strongly represented
in the house, and when the notice
of the motion was given it was con-
jectured by not only many Con-
sentative papers, but by some of the
staunch Liberal organs, that tho
government, which was bound to op-
pose the desired change. would be

in combination with Conservatives
and Liberals interested in the cotton
trade. The ParnelliteS, too, were

not bear out the hopes or fears of
the political parties, for, by a major
ity of 1876 the Rosebery ministry tri-
umphantly repealed the attacks of
its assailants. This result was in
measure due to the attitude of Mr..
Goschen, who, though Liberal
Unionist, dealt with the question in
a spirit of great fairness toward
the government. He suggested the
holding of a conference, in order to
remedy the deficit in India, for which
purpose the cotton import duty and
the excise duty on cotton were laid.
When the division came to be-
taken on the motion it was found
that large number of Conservatives
and Liberal-UniOnists, and also sew
eral members representing Lam
cashire districts, went to the gov
eminent in a body. Among those
who voted against the government
was the Ri. Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain, who, it is stated, was RESPONSE.
bic for the pushing of the motion
Baron de ROthschild and several
other Liberal-Unionists abstained
from voting.

THE WoRsHIP OF HEROES.

Socialism would reduce humanity
to a level. 1t is based on the con-
jectural equality of men. It's COM
plant is of conditions resting on the
unequal treatment of men by man.
1t would cure the complaint by abol-
iShing the conditions. And yet So
cialism has its heroes and, worship
ing them, cuts the ground out from
under its feet by admitting that trib-
ute is paid them because they were
superior to their fellows. Here So
cialiSm stands on common ground
with all humanity. Every saint in
the calendar, every biography writ
ten, every historical narrative told
tells the story of the inequality of
men in telling how some man has
risen into prominence above his fell
lows.
If the worship of our heroes were
limited to those between whom and
US the passing years have put those
long distances which obscure the
weakly human side of the man and
leave only the pure gold of his vir-
tues shining, freed from the dross of
our common infirmities, it would
have it's beneficial uses as an in
centive to higher efforts, nobler lives.
actions untarnished by the verdigris
of selfishness or greed. Aspiring
youth is fired by the example of
such, and the lessons of their lives
furnish to succeeding generations of
youth the best Of environment for
the development of character.
1t is we'll that Washington. seen
through the vista of nearly a CEN
fury, is not the Washington as his
fellow men saw and knew him. 1t is
as well that the faults of temper and
disposition, the qualities that pro-
Voked the antagoniSmS and engen-
dered the animosities that surround
ed him, as they do every prominent
man, are forgotten, and nothing re-
mains but the patriotism, the ster-
ling truthfulness, the endurance and
courage and the serene confidence
in his cause and himself that, in
spite Of his weaknesses, made him
the Washington whose memory the
nation reveres, and of whose natal
day it makes a holiday.
The tendency to oVerestimation of
prominent men by their contempo-
raries is universal. 1t is the seeded
of the hero worship which apotheo-
sizes the great men of the past.

MARRIED TO w. B. DIXON
Agent Dixon, of Milwaukee

There was a quiet and very pretty
wedding at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs J. T. Mcmillan, 81 Sherburne
avenue, at $50 yesterday afternoon,
the contracting parties being Miss
Jennie Begg, the charming daughter
of Mr.. end Mrs. Alexander S. Begg,
of Blinkbonny, Scotland, and Will
lam Boyden Dixon, son of the late
w. H. Dixon, who was assistant
general passenger agent of the Mil
waulee road. The wedding was pri-
Vate, only the friends of the con-
tracing parties being present.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. John Paul Egbert, of the House
of Hope church. and the house was
beautifully decorated with cut flow
ers and palms. The bride was very
sweet and bewitching in white satin,
and was attended by Miss Edith
Helen Mcmillan, who was dressed in
white silk. The groomsman was
Herbert S. Green, a devoted friend of
the groom. The wedding march
from" Lohengrin' was played charm
ingly and impressively by Prof. c. G..
WhitcOmb as the couple advanced to
the center of the room.
After the ceremony a dainty sup
per was served, and at $40 the happy
couple departed for New Orleans to
be in attendance on the Mardi Gras.

Florida and other states. Mrs. Dixon
is one of the sweetest of young st.
Paul ladies, and is very popular.
Mr.. Dixon is we'll and favorably
known throughout the city, and is a
successful business man, who has
many friends.

The Railway Age is improperly
named. 1t should be the Railway
Advocate. Thus named it would de-
ceive no one by it's title page, al
though it's editorial columns will
quickly undeceive any one who may
buy the magazine on the strength
of its title, thinking it to be mirror
rejecting accurately all the features
of this age of railways. 1t attacks
and denounces the bills pending in
various legislatures to regulate the
charges made by the proprietors of
sleeping cars with the astounding
assertion that the regulation of 81
and $5-a-day hotels would be just as
proper a subject of legislative action.
When one or two men or corpora
lions control all the hotels in the
country and fix the rate which the
public must pay for entertainment,
then Mr.. Robinson's comparison
would be apt. But with the freest
OF competition between all hotels
and entire liberty on the part of
their customers to select those
which they prefer, the illustration
used by the Age only develops the
weakness of the opposition to these
measures. The distinction between
the monopolistic nature of the Sleep
ing car companies and the COMPETE
tive business of the hotels is the diff
ference between black and white.
