A Treat for Dickinson.

Judging from the way the st. Paul
papers speak of the Alabama Co., who
are noMsplaying at the Metropolitan
Opera House in st. Paul, Manager
Klinefeltcr has been very fortunate in
securing them for the night of the
18th of April. The Alabama Co. is
said to be one of the best dramatic
companies that travel and are spoken
of in the very highert terms where.
ever they play.

Critical Ier3o r.iIed.

The late Sherlock Holmes had a IA.
vorite dictum: eliminate the impos.
sible, and what is Left however I'm.
probable, must be the truth" This was
not at all in accordance with the saying
Of Victor Hugo: Nothing is 90 immi-
nent as the impossible. What must be
always foreseen is the Unforeseen"
Most Of US will agree, from experience,
with Hugo rather than with Holmes.
The impossible does happen. When
''Mercy Philbriok's Choice was pub.
lished in the mo Name series, the
critics were agreed that It seemed to be
written by Helen Hunt jackson. But
- those who knew her love for flowers
and acquaintance with nature also
pointed out, ihe could not be the au-
thor. for there were several glazing mis-
takes in the naming and placing Of
blossoms In the story. Yet, - was 1T.
erward disclosed, she did write It 81
oil the theorixng went for nothing

ing the two following years under the
tariff OF 1890. But In 1893 the average
Of wages paid In the same establishments
was 2l per cent less than III 1892, and
tbe Improvement during the last six
months. although considerable, and to
wage-earners most gratifying, still leaves
the average of wages II per cent less
than In 1892. THE American Economist
adds that "while these reported advances
in wages have been diligently announced,
nothing has been heard Of the far more
numerous instances wherein the wage
earners have not been so fortunate"
II will not be assumed by anybody that
these returns, covering only about 500
ont of many thousand establishments.
necessarily represent with great accuracy
the aggregate change in the number of
hands employed or in wages of labor.
Indeed. some of the items are apparently
open to question, either because possibly
based upon an insufficient number OF
returns, or because apparently contrary
10 other information. Printers errors
not carried into the tabulation of the
league. are 0ossFb.y responsible in some
instances But with all reasonable allow
ance for defects in such a statement
the fact remains that a report covering
a greater number of hands in a greater
number of establishments anu employ
ments. than have ever been included in
previous reports of a similar character,
shows that the advance thus far effected
in wages of labor since the beginning
OF this year has been comparatively small
as respects the entire body, and still
leaves the average paid to labor II per
cent lower than In 1S92-uhe last year of
full prosperity under the Republican tar
III. 1t further appears that in the large
number OF establishments reporting the
material Increase in the number of hands,
which revival of business this year has
nermltted, there are nevertheless left
without employment about 13 per cent or
the perosns employed three years ago.
II is only fair to infer that a correspond
ing percentage of decrease has not ap-
peared in all occupations although in
most manufacturing works 1t is probable
that the figures given are fairly repre-
sentative.
One other fact, which the league does
not bring out In its statement as clearly
as It deserves to be brought out, Is that
the decrease has been very great in many
important industries, although in a few,
owing to exceptional conditions, the num-
ber OF hands employed is as large as
or larger than 1t was three years ago.
These marked differences in the condi-
tlon of important industries may readily
be traced to the b,undering defects of
the tariff adopted last year, intended to
break up the protective system, although
that intention was so far defeated that
it has been justly called a tariff OF
"botched protection

commenting upon American affairs But
such errors, while they may annoy us
somewhat are not unnatural, as these

American newspapers making such mis-
