EVERYTHING FREE.

Sometimes it happens in the course of events that false theory, first tenderly, then ardently, and afterwards madly embraced, puts the wheels to revolving at @ too desperate rate of speed in the head of a fellow he loses his balance and does rash things politically and rash things financially Extremities are dan gerous always. The American free trader would set all sails to the wind, open for free passage the ocean gate ways, and cause American capital and American labor to bear directly the en- tire burden of government. The free thinker would close the temple doors and take from society it's perfect safe guard. The free, unconditional silver coinage advocate would put the Ameri- can hints to stamping the Nations in dorsement on every 50 cents worth of sil- yer brought forward by the rich mine owners of the two States of Colorado and Nevada and call it dollar, and so on the free list would grow ad infinitum.'
 The public need not be surprised at any step for the advancement of free and easy ways these extremists might make. It may be that the free and easy newspapers may go so far as to throw their advertising columns wide open, without cost for position, to the busi- ness men of community, as a practical demonstration of their fond desire for freedom all round, and in order to in- duce the reading public to believe that the business public is unanimous and ardent in it's support of certain promul- gated free-mannered theories.
 This scheme may work little while, and if it results in bringing more busi- ness to the good merchants the Age Herald will be glad. It Is an extreme method, however-is not legitimate bus mess and cannot be long-fived. You can fool all the people sometimes: some of the people all the time but you can't fool all the people all the time. Watch for the free advertising columns, side by side with the editorial sentiments in favor of free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of IS to 1.

BELLA NIcoI,AUs REDIvIvUs.
She Bobs Up in Another Suit Against George
 Gou1d-Allegations.

Trenton, N. J., May "A number of papers in the suit of Rozella Ruhman, known as Zella Nicolaus, against George J. Gould were filed in the su- preme court this morning.
 Among the documents is a declaration which says. stripped of its legal verbiage. that in April. 1893, the plaintiff was pos sessed as her own property of a check or deposit certificate of the value of $4O,O ,O0O At Jersey City she afterwards lost the certificate and Geofge J. Gould found it.
 Yet the defendant, we'll knowing the certificate to be the property of plaintiff but contriving and fraudulently intend ing to deceive and defraud plaintiff, has not as yet delivered said certificate to said plaintiff, although often requested to do so by plaintiff many times before the commencement of this suit; but has refused to do so and has converted and disposed of said certificate to his own use"
 Another paper in the case is petitionf reciting that the plaintiff is a minor, being only 19 years of age, and praying that the court will appoint Lawyer Alex ander Simson of Jersey City as her next friend to prosecute the suit. The court has granted this petition and the de- fendant must answer within thirty days of the service made upon him at Com- munipaw few days ago.

THAT BETTE NOIR.
The Department of Agriculture Says, Is a
 Plain, Ordinary Beetle

Plain, Ordinary Beetle.
 Washington, May 2.--Mr Colquillett, an entomologist of the department of agriculture, has recently returned to Washington and reported upon his ex- animation of the watermelon fields in southern Georgia. The black bug, which was thought to be damaging plants, Is the plain, ordinary dung beetle. It has evidently been attracted to the plants by the fertilizer used, and was doing no damage.
 The principal insect damage to melons appears to have been by wire worms and cut worms. It is not likely that the damage will continue to any seri- ous extent. Any field broken up from sod or land upon which grass has been allowed to grow to any degree during the past season Is liable to contain numbers of wire worms and cut worms.
 In preparing land for melons in the future, the department says, growers will find it of great advantage to blow in the fall, early rather than late, and leave the land bare during the winter Then in early spring, as soon as the grass begins to come up in adjacent fields, sprinkle here and there through out the field which is to be planted to melons punches of grass or any other green vegetation which have previous ly been poisoned by sprlnkiing with paris green in solution. Such cut worms as may be present in the land will feed upon this vegetation and will be killed It will also have the effect of destroy ing many of the wire worms.
 MT. Coquillett saw evidences of dis eases among the melons not due to in sects, and information concerning this matter has been transmitted to Pro lessor Galloway, chief of division of vegetable pathology of the depart ment, who will probably investigate it later in the season.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

"A Bunch of yio1ets." by the Baldwin Rogers Comedy company, was the att traction at O'Brien's last night. A small audience was present. While 'tis true the performances heretofore given by the company could have been inn proved upon, the performance of last night was simply awful. The comedy has bright spots in 1t where an actor can make a hit but the bright spots were utterly neglected last night. The person assuming the leading character, the villain, must evidently have run up against something before the perform ance which got the upper-hand of him, as his actions would, to a fair minded man, betoken a case of "too much ar dent" There were many who positively averred that he was under the influence of liquor, and if such be the case the management of the company will find it to their interest to make some apology to those present at the performance. The least said however, the better. Those in the cast who tried to render their lines deserve commendation but the others none.

HON. CARROLL WRIGHT
Discourses on the Labor Problem in the South,
 The New AristocracY

Baltimore, May 2-"The South-Its Labor and Industry" was the subject of an address last night by Carroll Wright, United States commissioner of labor The address was delivered before the south ern conference of tthe Unitarian fand other Christian churches, which is hold ing its tenth annual session in Baltimore. After comparing the devastation, un- certainty and bankruptcy in the south thirty years ago with the splendid deVel- opment realized within the last fifteen years. MT. Wright said:
 This development, vast in extent, brings the labor of the south into compe- tition with that of the north and with that of Europe. The dusky laborer who lived on corn bread and bacon and did not strike, is now combined with other laborers who did not live on corn bread and bacon and who do strike. There, can be no forcible solution of the negro question in the labor problem of the south. No thought can be entertained of colonization at home or abroad, and he cannot be disfranchised. But he can be educated. However, the ordinary. efforts of education are based on the er- TOT that the negro can be developed into a Caucasian. We can only make of him the best African possible. He needs to be taught how to do something. If he cannot be assimilated, the solution is to make him an industrious citizen. Labor in the south is as yet primitive, but must within a short time compete with the most skilled labof of other sections.
 "Thep the south will have It's struggles between labor and capital. The difficult ties will not be Sd severe as those in other parts 6f the world, as the south will profit by the experience of the labor troubles of others. Aristocracy of brains. which has grown up to replace aristoc- racy of blood, will solve the question when it arises as to change in the wage system.
 When representatives of labor and capital are ready to unite on the princi- pie of the golden rule, as has been done in many cases already, the labor ques- ton will be more nearly solved. The country cannot afford to let one section lag behind another. The outlook de- mands that the south shall push along on the present lines, absorbing capital from wherever 1t conies-push on with the new order of things to make the laborer richer and tgive the capitalst larger gain
 The officers of the conference elected for the ensuing term are as follows:
 President, Frank N. Hartwell of Louis- vile, Ky; vice-presidents, Judge Thomas J. Morris, Baltimore; F. G. Bromberg, Mobile, Ala; Rev. George L. Clancy Richmond, Va.; secretary and treasurer, Rev. W. Q. Perice, New Orleans.
