1.-The Chieftain," the comic opera by
Sir Arthur Sullivan and f. c. Burnand,
the editor of London Punch, has scored
a great triumph in New York city.
Burnand's libretto has not evoked en-
thusiastic delight but Sullivan's music,
particularly that of the second act, has
received the highest praise. The score
is said to be studded with the prettlest
melodies imaginable. and the orches-
tration is pronounced the most exauis-
ite and beautiful the famous composer
has ever written. Commenting upon
the music, the New York World has
this to say:
What a lesson Sullivan gives all the
would-be composers, the plasiarists,
the innocentS, the incompetentS, the
humbugs, In his measures there is
naught but the composers thoughts
and the composers skill. Why will
tempt to palm off the ideas of others
and the work of others? 1t is the pub
lie, though, that is to blame. 1t ac-
cepts fraud and deception! 1t condones
everything. 1t has the sense to glorify
merit; it has not the courage to casti-
gate wortnleSsness. The Chieftain"
is more than an artistic success 1t is
an object lesson to both the public and
to its amusement purVeyorS.

theme upon which to bestow his eff
fective and humorous satire. "a Con-

WILL SHE DO III

In the recent Fourth Of July celebration
in London several Englishmen joined
heartily in the entertainment and speech
making, one Of them expressing his de-
light at being given an opportunity OF
doing so. He said it was not only a day
to be proud Of by every American but that
every right-minded and intelligent Eng
lishman should be equally proud. He
gave as his reason for these sentiments
that the achievement of American inde-
Ependence was benefit to England as well
as the world at large. s$t T a.
II. this is the proper sentiments It
undoubtedly iswny do not the right
minded and intelligent sEnglishmen grant
Ireland her freedom SO. that that country
may benefit itself and give England q
chance OF being benefited alsog Then
when the day Of national freedom rolled
around and the absent Irishmen we're
celebrating It in London Englishmen
could gather about the festive board and
make speeches eulogizing the happy event
ii the same vein that was done the other
day III the case Of America. This would
produce an era OF general good feeling and
one might be led to believe that the mill
Ienium was not so far OF after all.
But will England do It? Aye. there's
the rub. 5ss ss8 81, 3,l5 b. I

Why attempt 10 discourage discussion OF

have eminent financial heads in this coun-

hearts accompanying them and they know
how to produce money and place itsWhere
it will do the most good themselves
These and a thousand other things in

fastened themselves upon the attention Of

TIN PLATE INDUSTRY:

l. WE Chu all ! SLlS1AOcl iiAOW tAAS 9xA1IAAA-
I1evites a few short years ago used to
parade the streets wearing great sheets
Of tin and Whooping In chorus t"Tin,
tin, American tin" This was because
the Mckinley tariff placed duty Of
four cents a. pound on tin ore which had
previously been admitted free, and
placed duty Of Q 2-1O cents a pound on
tin plate, all for the avowed purpose of
shutting out so far as possible the inn
ported article and to encourage home
Manufacture. The low tariff advocates
in those days argued that up to that time
at least tin manufacture in this country
could not be proftably carried on prin-
cipally because the supply OF ore was
Inadequate to the home demand and that
the cost OF production was too great.
Still they maintained that even with the
additional cost of labor that tin could
be probably manufactured here should
sufficient ore be discovered. Since that
time tin ore has been found in large
quantities in different sections Of the
country, and what has been the result2
In the first place the existing tariff has
made tin ore free as it had formerly been
before Mckinley tried his hand at tar
iff legislation, and besides the duty on
tin plate has been reduced from 22-1O
cents a pound to ! is cents a pound
Such a step would have been considered
monstrous by the McKinleyites. New.
ertheless the tin plate industry is -four
ishing in this country and not under re-
duced wages either. According to the
Metal Worker, a publication devoted to
those and kindred interests, finished tin
plates will be produced this year to the
amount Of 100000 boxes, which is about
four flfths of the amount consumed In
this country. Last year the quantity
was 4,11O,0O0 boxes. There are thirty.
five tin works in operation and seven
more in course of construction. The
block plates the former roll are Of their
own manufacture There are thirty
works for dipping tin plate in successful
operation also. i
Thus day by day do the Mckinley va
carries regarding prosperity under an alb
normally high tariff vanish into thin air.
The Infant industries OF this country
that cannot walk after 80 many years
Of coddling and substantial encourage
ment from the government should cast
aside their swaddling clothes and show
that they were BORN crippled In such q
manner as to be incapable Of further
growth. Neither shame. nor argument
as to the injustice Of the thing has ever
been able to stop an infant industry
from, Oliver Twist like, asking for more,
and 1t Is only the stern logic Of every
day facts, like those just quoted, that
can prove to the people how failacious
are the doctrines Of the high protection

Every high protectionist, when asked
why he wants to tax the goods so much
that everybody is obliged to use, says
he wishes 1t done so that workingmen
will get higher wages. Whether he is
a manufacturer or a politician it makes
no difference. The politician wants it,
because. in that way he can fry the fat
out Of the manufacturer when money Is
needed to carry elections and for SINH
lar patriotic purposes, all Of which
money finds It's way directly into the
pockets Of the workingman, of course.
The manufacturer wants 1t, because in
that way he can follow the dictates of
his heart and conscience and be enabled
to reduce his income BY paying out
larger wages to hismen. This is the age
Of philanthropy.

THE SENsELESS CENSUS 1

A census Of the United States is taken
every ten years. For this purpose there
Is al, army OF people employed and vast
amount, Of money expended. But should
any one ask what has become Of the CEN:
sus reports of 1890 he would be told, If he
we're told the truth, that the compilation
has not been completed yet and is not
likely TO be for some weeks, perhaps
months to come. In other words we will
not get the census Of 1890 before late in
The year 1895. BY that time it will be
necessary to begin to think about an ap-
preparation FOR taking the census OF 4 1900.
When the reports are ready for the pub
lie how many will read them or even re-.
fer to any particular division or classih-
cation Of them? Not one in ten thousand,
perhaps or. at least, 9 very small per-
centage Of The people, and among these
