SHOTS AT SENATORS.

John J. Ingalls, was not able to ex-
tract even little lecture advertising
from that Kansas senatorial contest
Washington Post.
The selection of a LeavenWorth man
disposes of the Ingalls, senatorial move
ment for at least six years to come,
and then-well, politics is only an
iridescent, dream.-St. Louis Republic.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has an
nounced his intention of making a
three weeks speech on the currency
question. Guiteau was hanged for a
far less crime than that-Florida
TimeS-Union.
The late Senator ingalls, received one
vote in the Republican senatorial eau
Gus in Kansas. 1t looks as if he might
still remain "a statesman out of a job.
Boston Globe.
The first move necessary to break in
to the United States senate is to get
born in Ohio, and the next is to have
the price of a seat. After you get in
you can live in New York or any old
place.-Toledo Bee.
If the Republican handlers in this
state were thoroughly frank with the
people the position of United States

With all his ability, casuistry, and
cunning the senator from Maryland
can not recover the ground lost by him

Senator Call, who figured somewhat

ROOTS AND OTHER THINGS.

The most frequented room in the
Merchants hotel at present is that
occupied by Budd Reeve, the sage,
wit and philosopher. For month
or more Budd has kept a barrel of
sweet cider on tap in his room. AS
fast as one barrel was enptied a
fresh one was brought in. All of
Budd's friends and acquaintance
have INDUCED in his good cider and
basked in the sunshine Of his unique
personality. The room is decorated
on one side with the title of his
famous lecture, Roots and Other
Things" in evergreens. On the OPP
posite wall is the motto 1.-THE Lord
Will Provide" and facing the Wis
itor as he enters is the word "Wel-
come" also in evergreens.
Budd is as frisISy and good-nat-
ured as of yore, and is so popular
with the members of the legislature
that they have granted him the use
of the hall Of the house of repre-
sentatives for Wednesday even
ing of this week, to deliver his lect-
ure. This is probably one of the
spiciest talks ever given from a
platform, and is one continual flow
of ideas, clothed and presented in
picturesque language. The lights of
fancy are no less wonderful in
Reeves makeup than his perennial
good nature and sparkling wit. No
one sees a point quicker than Budd,
and no one can clothe an idea in
sharper, better language.

The reappointment of Hon. George
L. Becker as railroad and warehouse
commissioner for three years, by Gov
Nelson, will meet, with general APP
prevail among Republicans as well as
emocrats.-Chatfield Democrat
Gen. Becker was no party to the
disgraceful combination by which
thousands of Democratic votes Were
thrown for Nelson, nor was he in any
way a party to the large Democratic
vote for Mr.. Owen.-Mankato Review.
Gen. George L. Becker has been re-
appointed railroad and warehouse com
missioner for a term of three years.
This is a fitting recognition of Gen.
Becker and a very graceful act on the
part of Governor Nelson.-Appleton

Gen. George Becker, candidate for
governor last fall, has been reappoint-

The appointment of Gen. George L.
Becker as his own successor on the

THE INCOME TAX.

The ''uncompromising" Democrats of
New York and New England will not
support for president any friend of an
income tax, and therefore Hill or some
man of Hills opinions on this subject
will have to be nominated by the Demo-

In the West and South the income tax
is regarded as a most salutary law.
They are more closely drawn to Grover
Cleveland because he suggested it.

The news that the income tax goes

among those persons who receive large
salaries for publication only.-Pittsburg

The Republican seems to miss the
spirit of the occasion altogether. What
people with taxable incomes want to
know is not how to pay their income
tax, but how to escape paying their in

If some financial genius will tell the
average citizen how to earn enough to
subject himself to the income tax, the
great monetary problems of the age
will have been happily solved.-Detroit

The demand for the imposition of an

At the Grand-Fantasma.

"Fantasma," infused with new
life, clothed in new garb and placed
at the disposal of company of ex-
cellent players, is one of the best
Of the many good attractions seen
at the Grand opera house this sea-
son. The initial performance of a
weeks engagement was witnessed
last night by an immense audience.
Trick scenery, nystifying mechan-
ism, beautiful stage pictures, comic
and gruesome pantomime have en-
tertained since the world was young,
and the people of the present gen.
GRAFTON delight in being mystified
and pleased as did their forefathers,
who never cease telling Of the pro-
auctions put on by people of far less
genius and versatility than the Han
Ions possess. "Fantasna" was al
ways money-maker, but in the
present form it is a greater success
than ever, and appeals to the old
as we'll as the young. The scenery
in the present production is superb.
The costumes are magnificent and
one the Hanlons have ever engaged
to present this pleasing spectacular
pantomime. Lovers of haunted
houses, ghost stories, fairy tales and
mysteries find in "Fantasma"
enough to satisfy the most ravenous
appetite. There are marvellous
acrobatic performances, a phantom
minuet and ghostly banquet, the
latest marvellous invention of the
Hanlons, a thrilling decapitation
act. invented by George Hanlon
and presenting a perfect illusion of a
human being in the act Of being be-
headed. There is the haunted dor
mitory, the witches laboratory, in
which the ghosts and hobgohlins
hold high revel. The second act is
marvel in the line of gruesone per-
torrance, and the audience was al
ternately charmed, thrilled and mys-
titled. The appearance of the fam
Gus clown, George H. Adams, whose
name is synonymous with modern
pantomime, was the occasion for a
storm of applause, and in the role of
Plco he was given abundant SCOPE
to display his genius and cIeverness.

hugely enjoyed. "Fantasma" will

AT THE .THEATERS.

The production of one of Shake
speare's greatest plays, Hamlet will
mark Mr.. Keene's opening tonight at
the metropolitan. 1t is among the
most popular of the tragedian's roper
toire and is, perhaps, mis- special favor
lite. He has given it the. scholarly
study of life, and in following the
result of his own judgment and the
plain language of the author, has made
of Hamlet" a subject of more than
common interest. The foremost men
of literary circles have inclined to the
belief in Hamlet's madness. Mr..
Keene seems to clear this up. He dis
cards entirely the theory of emotional
insanity caused by the ghostly vista
lions, and leaves Hamlet a lucid, self
contained man, but putting on for his
own good purposes the 'antic dispo-
sition" which shall cause them to think
him mad. To see the tragedian in
this is to see him in his best work.
His company, led by Messrs. Edwin
Arden and Frank Hennig, Misses Law
renee and Downs, is an able support 10
their leader and the play will be finely
staged and elegantly costumed.

TOM AND THE sTEE1, pool

The steel rail pool bends, but it
does not break. For years it has
levied toll on the producers of the
country, making railways it's col
lectors. Successive tariffs on i'm
portations of rails have given it the
monopoly of the market. It has
used them without stint or mercy.
1t has met reductions in these tar
ifs by adjusting prices to the
change, but still absorbing to itself
the whole benefit Of the tariff. For
some years it held the price steadily
at $50 ton, While the price of ore,
coal and billets was being reduced.
Carnegie withdrew from this COM
bInation a couple Of years ago. and
the price dropped to $25. On this
basis new combination was formed.
which, until last year, maintained
it's prices in the face of a steady re-
duct1on in the cost of it's material
With the reduction of the tax in the
last tariff act it reduced the price
to w ton. Although the protec-
ton afforded now is only some ST a.
ton, it is ample to shut out importa-
ton and permit the pool to main
tain its present rate unless internal
discord should arise, or a new COM
petitor come into the field.
A Pittsburg steel broker, in a com
munication to a New York trade
paper, says that present prices will
remain unless Tom Johnson gets
his new steel rail plant at Lorraine.
O., completed, and jumps into the
market In this case he is of the
opinion that the price of rails will
fall to $1S a ton. This Tom Johnson
is the same irrepressible free trader
at whose head more anathemas
have been hurled by the protection
lists and semi-protectionist than at
any other man in the country. He
is the man with whom Dalzell. of
Pennsylvania, ran such a disas-
trous tilt while the steel rail sched-
ule was under debate in the house.
The fact that combination can

neither wheed1e nor coax Tom into
juncture with it gives ground for the
apprehension of the results that will
follow his Eruption in the steel rail
trade, has a very solid foundation.
If the effect of this should be to
knock off Sd ton on steel rails, the
railroad interests Of the country c
which have looked upon Tom with,
alarm, and contributed to his de-s
feat for congress last year, will,
probably modify their opinions M-
him. AS the price Johnson's raid
will reduce the rails to is less than
they can be imported for without
duty, the effect will be to vindicate;
Mr.. Johnson's assertion during the
debate that there was no need of
any protection whatever, and that
steel rails could go to the free list
without injury.
