Following Mr.. Johnson, there was o.
general discussion on the best methods
of inducing foreign immigration. This
subject was treated from several stand
points, and the discussion was very in
teresting. All agreed that the visit OF
prosperous immigrant to his native
land was the greatest drawing card
that could be found for inducing his
fellow countrymen to come. Before
adjourning, Chairman Schurmeier an

An attractive exhibit has been made
in the hall of the capital by H. Bolster,
who has brought large number of
pictures of fruits from the Spokane
fruit fair, which show the resources OF
the fruit-growing counties of the West
ern states. Many of these are life-size
water colors, and are very fine. They
embrace all sorts of fruits Some of
the pictures show the fruit cut in
halves, giving a good idea OF the grain
and texture.

revolutionary. While he has done
some service that should notybe ig-
nored, in making a stand against
the powerful influence of capital
that controls absolutely the Repub-
lican party sins Illinaissqasssing most
other states of the, Union, he nulli-
fed any advantage that might have
been felt fronrsuch policy by uniting
it with the widest fanatfcism and
folly. His pardon of the anarchists.
his refusal to preserve order and
maintain the supremacy of the law
in Illinois, his violent outbreaks
against the exercise of federal pow
er to put down insurrection and his
completely in. the attempt to fasten
free silver upon the Democratic or
ganization in his state are all items
in the long charge against him. They
are all acts contributing to his
downfall which would have been
avoided by either a shrewder or a
better man.
Altgeld, however, is no fool.
He has more sense than Crisp
and Harris and Morgan. He sees
that for him the jig is up. He un-
derstands, because he has measured
the meaning of recent expressions
of opinion within the Democratic
party, as we'll as without it, that
his own record has written his po-
litical epitaph. He is not vision
ary, but man who deliberately
chose the wrong because he thought
it would win. There is no reason
why he should make a martyr of
himself after he is convinced that it
will lose. Altgeld realized that there
is an end of Altgeldism in Illinois
and in the Democratic party. He
therefore hies himself to more lu-
crative field than politics has to Of
fer to him henceforth.
While we congratulate the Democ-
racy of Illinois upon the retirement
of this man, who has done so much
in political life to misrepresent
and discredit the party whose name
he assumed for personal gain, we
consider the episode Of more than
ordinary Importance in pointing out
to the men who have been inclined
to follow Altgeld's footsteps the fact,
which he admits, that there is no
room and no hope for them in the po-
litical contests of the future. We are
rapidly returning to straight De-
mocracy once more. When that is
arrayed against Republicanism, as
it is now defined, Democracy will
win.

ALTGELD RETIRES.

Gov. Altgeld makes a virtue of
necessity in announcing his retire
ment from political life. With a last
squirt of grandiloquence, he says that,
at the expiration of his present term,
he will turn over to his successor the
grandest state government on earth,
and go back to the practice of law
for the purpose of making some
money. This statement of Altgeld
has a great political significance, in
that it is virtually a public an
nouncement of the complete failure
of the Altgeld plan of campaign.
This man did not go into politics
lmpelled by any spirit of self-sacri-
flee, but with the hope of personal
advancement. He had a definite
plan of action by which he hoped to
crafty his ambition to go to the
United States senate, and possibly
TO be advanced to still higher honor.
Things went well with him for a
time. The rising wave of Populism
contributed to his success, at the
same time that it bewildered what
little judgment he possessed, and led
MIN into the political morass where
he is now floundering. His end is
always that of men who follow am
oition and consult eXpediency in de-
lance of principle.
He thought that he saw clear
way ahead by catering to the preju-
Ices of the ignorant. His admins
ration of office has been essentially

FRUIT GROWING
Discussed by II WashintOn Man-
Address on Immigration.

Mr.. Smalley next introduced Fl.
Bolster, of Washington, who discussed
Fruit Culture West of the Rockies"
Mr.. Bolster was we'll known business
man of Winnipeg before he was at
tracted to the coast by the wonderful
possibilities of the country and its
splendid climate. Mr.. Bolster traced
the growth and development of the
fruit-groWing industry, which is bring
ing wealth and fame to the North Pa
cific coast states. His speech was as
follows:
Fruit culture west of the Rockies
is certainly the most modern of mod
ern history. 1t is but yesterday that
the fact was first demonstrated that
the great prairies and river bottoms of
Washington, Idaho and Oregon were
destined to become the chief source of
supply of the deciduous fruits of Amer
lea. A few of the more progressive of
the early settlers set out few fruit
trees of different classes and varieties,
purely as an experiment. Thus were
the first little orchards turned over to
the tender mercies of a climate as yet
untried. Protected by the noble crest
of the majectic Rockies from the chill
ing blasts Of the blizzards of the North;
famed by the gentle chinook breezes
of the Pacific; fed by refreshing show
ers, and noUrished by soil both fertile
and deep, within a reasonable length
of time the peach, the pear, the april
cot the nectarine, the ounce, the
prune, the plum, the apple, the cherry,
the grape and the berry burst forth In
all their glory.
And now, gentlemen, let US trace the
growth and development of this new
industry, which is destined in the near
future to exert so great an influence
upon the happiness and prosperity of
g, multitude of people: Up to 1890 nine
en-tweEtieths of the fruit supplied
to the various towns, cities, mining and
lumber camps of the Pacific Northwest
was imported from abroad at high
prices, and was weighed out to the eX-
travagant purchaser at so much per
pound The outer world first discov-
cred that she had a rev and extensive
fruit region to look to for future sup
plies in 1893, when we exhibited our
products to the admiring throngs who
visited the worlds fair at Chicago. We
then stood face to face with the great
fruit prcducing districts of this whole
continent, and what is more, we ala
not suffer by comparison. SO far as
the display OF deciduous fruits was
concerned, every state and territory
and district of this continent was COM
PEELED to take Off its hat to the state of
Washington.

CROWN gcou1try is regularity of tenn

North Pacific states are peculiarly IA

GO TO THE RoTToM.

The issues raised by Lord Dunra-
ven's extraordinary conduct have
now assumed the complexion which
requires a thorough-going investiga-
ton of the facts. He has seen fit
to make. public, through the press of
Great Britain, positive charge of
fraud against the American manage
ment of the international yacht race.
He has asserted that ballast was
placed in and taken out of De
fender, secretly and with intent to
defraud, so as to alter her water line
between the time Of measurement
and the time of sailing the race. This

FIERCE FIRE IN LOWELL.

LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 20.-A large
five-story building on Middle street,
known as the Parker block, was al
most destroyed by fire this morning.
Fire started in the liquor store of j.
N. Beavy, on the first floor, about
Las a. m. 1t spread rapidly, and was
aided by repeated explosions of whis-
Ky in barrels, which blew out the
windows and created havoc with the
windows in adjoining buildings. By
hard work the flames were confined 10
the building, and nearby property
was only slightly damaged. The up
per floors of the block were used by
the Appleton Manufacturing com
pany for the storage of cotton goods,
and it is estimated that there were
$500, 900 worth there.
At 3:15 a. M. the frs was under con-
troll. The building is owned by Col.
Parker OF the governors staff. There
was no loss ow life. TIE property loss
is between $3.50, 600 and $4C0,0O0.

CATHEDRAL BAZAAR.
Another Large Audience at Mar
ket Hall Last Night.

Another large audience was present at
the Cathedral bazar, Market hall. last
night. The programme consisted OF
music furnished by Kleists Mexican
Mandolin orchestra The booths were
all well patronized and all who are
connected with tha event feel that its
success will be as great as anticipated
by them. The hall is a beautiful and
attractive place. The booths are all
decorated in an artistic manner and
arranged in such way as to give a
pleasing effect. One of the most con-
spicuous of these is the temperance
booth, which is draped in red, white and
blue. Within it are the large por-
traits of Presidents Lincoln and Grant
and Archbishop Ireland, for which a
very interesting contest is being held
This booth contains many other OBJ
jects of attraction and is in charge Of
Mrs. ]. T. Kelly and the Misses Kelly
and Cromsie.
One place which is being we'll pat
ronizsd is the gypsy's tent which is in
charge of Miss Harrity. Here for
a nominal sum the patron is given
brief outline of his future life.
The Altar society booth, in charge of
Mesdames Kenny, Cole Wood and
Newman, is very pretty with its art
istically arranged drapings of yellow
and white.
The candy store is popular and rend-
ers its share toward the financial sue
cess of the bazaar. 1t is conducted by
the Misses Murry, Vervais, Drake,
Howley and Horrigan.
The doll booth was a place which
attracted considerable attention and
admiration The dolls contained
within the booth were donated by the
girls of the Cathedral. A prize is to
be awarded to the one who pres snted
the best dressed and best appearing
doll. The ancient post-office is in
charge of Miss Mccall.
The Daughters of Erin deserve praise
for the attractiveness of the booth
over which they preside. 1t is draped
in pale green and presents beautiful
appearance. Mesdames Mcdonald
and Mccarthy and the Misses McHale,
Breen, Delaney, Mcclure and Kelly are
in charge of it. Considerable interest
is being manifested in the contest for
the following prizes; a gold watch to
the most popular young lady, bicycle
to the most popular youth, oil painting
to the most popular housekeeper. The
programme for tonight will consist of
music by Miss Ruddy's band, an alto
solo by Miss Thornton and baritone
solo by Mr.. Myron.

AT THE THEATERS.

Article 47'' was the bill at the Metro
politan last night. This play furnishes
in the part of Cora a vehicle for Clara
Morris to demonstrate that she pos
sesses to phenomenal degree the abil-
ity to depict the emotions and torments
of the human heart.
The part of Cora gives Miss Morris
greater scope for her marvellous talent
than that Of Raymonde, in which she
appeared on Monday, and is quite as
strong, though different in style, as her
Camille"
Cora is plunged to the last agony of
despair or famed to the white flame of
anger at the discovery of uylrequited
love- In the end her reason is dethron-
ed by the very conflict of raging emo
tions. Miss Norris, in her finished i'm
personation, reveals the subtle charac-
teristics, the superb dignity, the abound
ing love and martyrlike resignation
which mark the real woman.
Cora, a beautiful woman, coquets
with the man she loves, when he, be-
lieving that she has lost interest in
him, seeks out and lays suit to the
beautiful Marcelle, not, however, until
he has, in his mad passion, disfigured
Cora for life by bullet wound in the
face. For this he Is arrested and i'm
prisoned, and Cora, who loves him
paSSionately, loses sight of him owing
to change in his name until one even
ing he comes to her gambling room,
when the most dramatic meeting oc-
ours. To retain him she asserts her
influence, born of his unwillingness to
have his fiancee learn of his former
liafson, ,and her gradual transition from
the naughty woman, conscious of her
own power, to the suppliant at the
feet of her former lover, begging in
impas stoned language to be taken back
is piece of acting nothing short of
powerful.
The mad scene in the last act, how
ever, where she works herself into a
horrible frenzy over the thought that
she may be going mad, is by all odds
the strongest scene of the play. The
veriest details, the maunderings, the
demoniacal laugh, the weird hallucina-
tions. the tWitchings and the repeated
but fruitleSS efforts to maintain a con-
tinuity of thought-all these conspire
to make the half-hour one of the high
est possible tension, and one feels al
most grateful when death puts an end
to her frightful agony. 1t is role re-
quiring the greatest physical effort
The play itself is too familiar to need
more than passing description.
The company again rendered most eff
ficient support. The roles of George
Duhamel, the lover, assumed by ]. NJ
Colville, and Victor MaZilier, played by
Walter Walker, being especially note
worthy. The DR.. Coombes of Howard
Coveny was clever piece of character
work, while the character of Marcelle
interpreted by Miss Lavinia Shannon,
was at once graceful, dainty and SYM
pathetic. In the scene where she finds
Duhamel, her fiance, in the presence OF
Cora, she was uncommonly good.

SOUND MONEY FIRST.

No more explicit or earnest plea for
sound money and a rational financial
policy has been made than that con-
tanned in the address delivered last
night by Secretary Carlisle before
the New York chamber of commerce.
There is no note of uncertainty about
it, and it goes as straight as a bullet
to the mark. There is no hope of re-
stored financial confidence and sta
bility as long as the greenbacks re-
main a part of our currency. Their
retirement is the first indispensable
step toward currency reform and
commercial prosperity. This is the
one issue which overshadows all 9TH
ers, and which a practical experience
in administering the nations finances
has made plain to every secretary of
the treasury.
One point Mr.. Carlisle drives home
with emphasis. The opponents of a
sound money system never weary Of
appealing to Jealousy of Great Brit
ain. Yet it is the inferiority of our
money as compared with hers that
gives her one of her great advantages
over us in the world of trade. with
an inferior currency" says Mr.. Car
Isle, most truly, eve could never sue
cessfully contest her supremacy, and
the belief that we can punish her or
enrich ourselves by destroying the
value of our own money is one of the
most remarkable delusions of the
age" So, too, we are studying con-
stantly means of enlarging our for
eign trade. Mr.. Carlisle is quite right
in saying that mo nation can rea-
sonably hope to control the trade of
any considerable part of the world
unless it's exchanges are based upon
a standard of value recognized as
sound in all the centers of commerce"
The spectacle Of the United States,
which might easily master the trade
of all the world, with whom no other
nation can hope to compete success
fully, Staying it's own ambition with
a protective tariff and radically un-
sound currency system is the most
lamentable evidence of ignorance and
misdirected energy that this century
has seen.
Whatever one may think of Mr..
Carlisle's views, all ought at least
to agree with his declaration that the
time for evasion has passed. The
country has suffered long enough
through fear of debasement of it's
currency. Let there be an end of
that Whether party stands by the
present unit of value or desires to
take the plunge to silver monometal-
lism, let it declare itself. Let us have
no more platforms that are either un-
meaning or contradictory or both.
Let us have no more carefully worded
declarations that try to face in oppo-
site directions. No matter what it
may cost, let us have this money ques-
ton settled and done with, so that
the great world of business may be
freed from constant apprehension.
Even the fall to the silver standard
would be better than indefinite
prolongation of distrust and uncer-
tainty. There is no doubt what the
people will say if they have an oppor-
tunity. Give them the chance now,
and let us have the disturbing finan-
cial issue decided, so that business
may resume it's wonted and unthreat-
ened course.

WILL GET THEIR MONEY.

With qualification and not without
surprise we observe that Controller
McCardy actually recognizes the au
thority of the courts as superior to
his own. He requested the board of
aldermen last night to pass resolu
tions, the counterpart of which they
had passed long before and he had
ignored, directing the proper author
tiles to issue certificates of indebt-
edness to pay the money due to
members of the police and fire de-
partments for back salaries. The
main thing is that these men, after
two years of unnecessary delay, will
finally get the money that is due to
them and that the people of the city,
in whose service they are, have al
ways desired them to receive. The
means by which they have been de-
prived of their due have already
been, perhaps, sufficiently exposed.
The necessity of appealing to the
court and of examining the record
of the controller in the matter has at
least served the purpose of disclos-
ing the methods by which this Off
cial performs the duties of his Of
flee. 1t is not and has never been
a question of economy, but one of
simple justice and the payment of
debts. Nor is there any reason to
doubt that a strict Interpretation of
the charter, as the G o b e has
shown, required it to be done. With
a proper disposition of receipts from
delinquent taxes, the question would
never have arisen. We are glad
that, Notwithstanding the stubborn
resistance of the controller, it has
at last been settled and settled in
the only way that consists with
common honesty.
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-11-20

could have but one purpose; namely,
to affect the time allowance and so
to give the American boat an unfair
advantage. 1t could not have been
done by members of the crew with
out "a guilty knowledge on the part
of some one in command. Neither
would anybody have an object in
such a performance unless he were
desperately interested in the result
of the race. The charge reflects di-
rectly upon the builders and owners
of Defender, and upon the regatta
committee of the New York Yacht
club. Dunraven expresses the opin-
ion that it is now too late to investi-
gate. 1t is not too late to investi
gate charges if it is not too late to
make them public.
No gentleman gives to the press a
statement impugning the honor of
another gentleman unless he has ev-
idence to back it, and is willing that
this evidence should be examined
impartially. Events have shown
that it is stretching a point to
cite the rules of conduct that pre-
vail among gentlemen as having any
application to Dunraven. But the
members of the syndicate that built
and sailed Defender, and the mem
bers of the yacht club under whose
auspices the race was made, have
their own honor to defend and their
own good name to clear. No other
course was open to them than to
appoint an investigating committee.
No other course is open to that COM
mittee except to probe this unhappy
affair to the bottom. Dunraven is
either a much maligned man, who
was imposed upon by some scoundrel
or set of scoundrels on this side of
the water, or else he is liar and a
lodged, and involves questions which
honorable men cannot permit to re-
main under the shadow of the slight
est possible doubt We owe it to the
American name, and we owe it to
the cause of honorable and manly
sport, to have this matter settled.
Either Dunraven or the American
against whom his charges can be
proved must be black-listed and driv-
en- from the society of gentlemen.
The inquiry which has been set on
foot should be made searching and
final While it is a matter for deep
regret that a friendly contest be-
tween the yachtsmen of two nations
should have resulted in such an
issue, let us get at the whole
truth of the charges made in con-
nection with the yacht race of 1895;
and let the guilty party, whoever he
may be, Briton or American, feel the
full weight of national condemna-
ton and social ostracism.
