Speaker Gordon is, in modern par

else to hustle too. He has mapped
out plan Of action that promises well
for short and busy session. If his
plan is adopted and carried out, this
session of the legislature will close be-
fore the corn begins to beard. The
speakers idea is for the appointment of
two -pccial committees, to expedite the
hanoi of bills, and in this way the
most important and best measures will
be given precedence.

yesterday was well attended by

a few lots we're sold, averaging $75

Bloomburg will be quite village

ever thought it would ever spread
over six or eight square miles of ter.

done, and it is still spreading
Bloomburg does not hope to get as
large as Texarkana, yet it does bid

and finally the strike. A fitting, in
fact, an inevitable end of this piece of
financing, was the appointment the
other day of receiver for the COM
pany.
The street railway systems Of Mil,
waukee have been similarly exploited,
and with the usual result of a receiver
ship now impending. Prior to 1890
there were three or four local COM
panies operating railways in the streets
of that city. They were all good, divi
dend-paying properties. The financier
saw in them one of his opportunities.
He proceeded to promote" it. He
had previously organized the North
American Company of New Jersey.
He next organized the Milwaukee
Street Railway Company Of New Jer-
sey with capital Of $5,000,000. He
then organized the Milwaukee Street
Railway Company of Wisconsin with
a capital Of $1,000 The North
American company owns the Milwau-
kee-New Jersey company; the Mill
waukee-New Jersey company owns
the Milwaukee-Wiscon company,
and the financier owns them ALL He
then negotiated for the purchase of
the local companies and secured them.
He claims to have paid for them and
couple of electric plants $6,675, 900,
but how or in what is not stated.
Then he began to exploit the in
vesting public. He issued thirty-year
per cent bonds to the amount of
81, ,250, 900, and unloaded them on those
who trusted his representations as to
their value, present and prospective.
In this, because he was a financier,
and not plain confidence man, he
succeeded. Then began the difficult
ties that are now eliminating in a re-
ceivership. The interest charge was
S56l, 800 year. The operating ex-
penses are over 100000 a year. The
total is 81, ,391 800 year. The net in
come is about 100000 a year. The
capitalization, stock and bonds, is ST.
25O,OOO. When the dividends were
passed the bondholders were uuieted
with stories of Improvements and fu-
ture dividends. AS default succeeded
default, the bondholders dropped"
their interest claims to the amount of
$685. But the end was inevitable,
and the squeezing process is to begin.
Meanwhile the financier has retired to
some foreign country to rest and re-
cuperate his energies for some further
exhibition of his genius when the times
are more nrOOitiOIIS Iaauipo hic wiz

nois, solidly Republican, that has
made a fine show, of capacity for ap-
preciating both responsibilities and
opportunities Even the Republican
papers had to attack its surrender of
public interests to private corpora
tions, and one Republican paper act
ually employed a lawyer to go to
Springfield and watch and expose the
fellows that were making the most OF
their great opportunities" Incl
dentally the use the Republican coun-
Gil of Chicago makes of the epportun-
tiles coming its way is also prac-
tical answer. Wisconsin, too, had an
experience with restored Repub-
lican legislature that was not alto
gether satisfactory if we may judge
from the comments of Republican pa
pers. Estimating what congress will
be and do by what these were and have
done, we should say that whether the
party as represented there will rise"
to either its responsibilities or oppor-
tunities, is altogether a matter of
what it's members regard as either the
one or the other If they take the
same view that their lesser, but more
numerous, brethren in the state legis-
latures have, the rise will not be phe-
nomenal.

ONE KIND oF FINANCING.

If one man kills another, that is mur-
der; if he causes the slaughter of
thousand, that is war; In the rone
case he is a murderer; in the other
great general. If man imposes on
another a lump of brass made to re-
semble a "gold brick" he is a conf
dence man. If he capitalize something
at magnified value and induce peo-
pie to buy the watered stock, and sub
sequently suffer loss from the eXpul-
sion Of the water, the public calls him
a "financier' The victim of the con-
fidence man soon finds that his gold
brick is only gilded brass, and worth
only the price of the brass in it, The
investor in the financed stocks finds
that the property has not an earning
capacity sufficient to pay dividends
on the capitalization, and that the
value of his stock is only that of the
plant it represents. The victim of the
confidence man pockets his loss with
what good grace he can, and profits
by his experience. The victims of the
financier bestir themselves, get recaiv-
ers appointed, form reorganization
committees, submit to the squeezing
out of water, pocket their losses and
credit them up to the account of ex-
perience gained. Meantime the two
enterprising chevaliers d'industrie go
to fishing in other streams, resting Sc
cure in their knowledge of the fact that
the supply Of suckers is ineXhaustible.
Last year, when the Brooklyn street
car strike was on, Justice Gaynor held
that the company had no right to en-
gage in any dispute with it's employees
that might interfere with it's primal
duty to render continuous service to
the public. Following the comment,
some censorious, some approving,
made on his decision, Judge Gaynor
wrote a defense, in which he gave a.
history of the exploitation of the streat
car lines of that city, by which the.
modest and actual capitalization OF
two or three million dollars was
swelled by the financiers who manipu-
lated the deal into some $50 900, 900. H.
pointed out that it was the strenuous
efforts of these exploiters to make the
roads earn dividends on this water
and interest on the inflated bond issues
that led to a reduction of wages, dis
content of the men, impaired service

HOW THEY RISE.

The Omaha Bee quotes approvingly
the affirmative answer Leslie's Week
ly makes to its own question: Is
the Republican party capable of rising
to the level Of its great responsible
ities and opportunities? Both of these
papers deal in generalities and alb
stractions. If they wanted something
concrete, some actual demonstration
of the capacity of their party to rise
to its opportunities, they could read
lily find them, and, in Republican pa
pers, they could find full opinions as
to how it had risen when given op-
portunity, and how it had improved
its opportunities.
A striking instance is in Delaware.
whose voters installed a legislature
of that party on probation. It's ef-
fort to elect a senator there is a fine
illustration of the high sense of re-
eponsibility and of capacity to i'm
prove opportunities. Then there is
New York, where complete control
was taken from the Democrats and
given to the Republicans. A cur
sorry reading of the New York Trib-
une should convince even careless
reader of the capacity of the
party there to rise" to it's "oppor-
tunities." Then over in New Jersey
the same experiment was tried. and
the same demonstration was made.
Tn Pennsylvania we infer from the
comment of Republican papers that
the legislature made the most in its
way of the opportunities that came
to its members.
Again there is the legislature of Illi-

AN APPRECIATED WELCOME.

Nothing connected with the cordial
reception which the New G 10 has
met from the public has given it more
qualification than the unanimous and
hearty sympathy and appreciation eX-
pressed by its contemporaries laborers
with it in the same field of human
progress Our friends Of the country
as we'll of the metropolitan press have
been interested in the determination
to publish a newspaper that shall stand
at the same time for sterling Democ-
racy and for all that is best in the
traditions of journalism. It is evidence
enough to US that human nature and
the desire of the people are no lower
than we have believed them, to find no
word of envy or sly detraction, but ev-
erywhere the heartiest welcome and
praise to earn which would be no mean
ambition. Without discrimination we
have published what the newspaper
world is saying of the New G 10 b e,
as evidence of what we said at the
outset, that "the standards Of the pub
lie are not lower than our own"
There. are few shrewder or more
uncompromising judges in newspa-
perdom than the editors of the coun-
try press. These are the men who have
been taught by a stern schoolmaster,
and whose closeness to the people
gives their judgment an accuracy
which he who looks at men in the mass
not seldom fails to reach. They are
men of earnestness, whose convictions
must not only be set down in the daily
or. weekly leader, but maintained in
constant intercourse with the brightest
of their fellows. They are men very
often whose limitations are of place
and circumstance; and whose ability,
set at work in a larger and more lib
eral field, would win a larger recogni-
ton. The G o b e has a great ad-
miration for the newspapers and
newspaper men of the smaller cit
les and the country towns: and
it values not more highly the ap-
proval of the metropolitan critic than
the favor of those keen judges in town
and village who are equally unsparing
to fault and equally responsive to
the note of honesty and earnestness
OF purpose. Therefore it presents its
compliments to those who have given
1t the hand of welcome, and assures
them that it will be found always
with them battling for the right and
the best things in public life, in the
social state, and in the DEVELOPMENT of
character.

vaHdeyille at the Metropo,itans

There were. few vacant seats at the
Metropolitan at the opening of the
summer season of the Alhambra
Vaudevilles last night. 1t was new
departure to put OH such an enter
tainment atsthe Metropolitan and the
people seemed anxious to see Just what
class of attractions can be expected
during the season. Should the atten-
dance keep near tn mark of last night
: 1T is certain that the management of
( the. Alhambra.s Vaudevilles will at
/, least find their enterprise a financial
success at the end of the season The
Fulton Brothers and Warren in their
Songs, ,pantonaim as and ''red-hot chase,
scored a hit. Gus Richards, the
double-voiced vocalist, is a novelty.
and very clever in his speciality act.
Prince Satsuma,. the Chinese juggler,
with his startling feats, received gen
terous applause. The musical har-
vesters," in their unique act, proved
themselves musicians of varied re-
sources. Their odd musical treat re-
ceived hearty encores. Other pleasing
features were the singing of Eva Swim
burn and Alic Howard, and the re-
fined skit, 'aThe Crust of Society,"" by
5Dolan and Lenbarr. The entertain
ment closed with Chevaler Cliauot's
really extraordinary feats Of sword
swallowing. The seemingly impossi-
bic things he accomplished astounded
many in the audience. There will be
q matinee this afternoon, and this er-
ening it is understood the Elss will
attend in body.
+ One or two of the specialties given
last evening will be eliminated by the
management. They crept in without
being rehearsed, End are not judged
to be suitable for the class of patrons
it is hoped to draw.

Galley slave mt the Grand

(
The stock company at the Grand
last night was greeted by compara-
lively good house in the presentation
of BARLEY Campbells Galley Slave.p
The play was finely staged. as has
been every play which the stock COM
pany has presented this season, for at
tractive staging of a play is realized to
be we'll nigh as important as it's aq-
ton. 'The Galley Slave" is a very
clever production, full of dramatic situ-
ations, which the fine ability of the
personnel of the stock company meet
in a most artistic manner. 1t is also
bright in. its lines, revealing, as. it
does, a keen observation of the modern
social life of the day. 100
The story5of the play hinges about
two yeahg artists, both Americans
one sa@rieh, beautiful girl, the other
her lover, a gifted young artist. The
young couple are separated by a schem-
ing adventurer. A strong story, full of
adventure and pathos, Is woven, and
it occasions wonderfully clever acting.
There are several scenes of rare
beauty in the play, among them being
the bridal scelse which precedes the
wedding of Cecily and Psyche The
coStuming in this scene is beautiful,
quite idealic, in fact.
The cast Of characters last night
was especially strong. So well taken
were they that they could scarcely
hava been taken to better advantage.
Miss Henrietta Crossman as Cecily
Blaine, the heroine, was thoroughly
artistic in everything she did, and
whether portraying the prospective
bride anticipating her marriage with
the man she loved, or as the wronged,
brcken-hearted woman in; the power of
an unscrupulous villain, Miss Cross
man exhibited that daintiness of touch
and dramatic ability which have made
her so strong a favorite with the thea
ter-going public.
The part of Francesca Remini, as
taken by Kate Blancke, was splendidly
done. The character admits of more
Intensity than any other in the cast,
and in portraying it's scenes Miss
Blancke was fully equal to demands.
James Neill as Sidney Norcott, the
lover and galley slave, was well rem
dered, for Mr.. Neill's versatile abil-
1ty admits of his doing many cha.rac-
ters we'll, and the part given him last
night was rendered equal to anything
he has done this season. Baron LIE
Bois, the poor painter, the nobleman,
the villain who had forsaken a wife
and child to marry an heiress, is a
hard part to take, but in the hands
OF Charles Kent it was so well present.
ed that it seemed a very easy character
in the play, and not a central figure.
as it was. :
The other characters, George Den.
ham as Oliver Oliphant, John e.
Maher as Franklyn Fits, and Anna
Blancke as Psyche Gay and Fannie
Burt as Mrs. Phoebe Gay, were ex-
eeedingly clever and were heartily ap-
preciated by the audience The audi
ence was very appreeiative and the
applause was generously bestowed.
"The Galley Slave" will be the bill at
the Grand throughout the week.
