II is reported from Washington in one
Of the leading papers OF Chicago that
there is talk Of ignoring the tariff ques-
ton altogether at Chicago. or Of adopt
ing what viii be virtually a protection
plank. in the event OF the silyerites hay
ing absolute control Of the convention.
We can hardly think 1t possible that
any democrat, whether he is for silver or
sound money. would seriously consider
the advisabnlty of ignoring the tine hon
ored democratic doctrine Of tariff for
revenue. To adopt a tariff plank calling
for protection. or 10 wholly ignore the
tariff question, would create a profound
sensation throughout the country. and
cause democrats to leave their party by
thousands IN every state in the union.
Even the silverite democrats Of the south
and west, willing as they are 10 approve
almost any platform so long as IL de-
clares for silver. would hesitate to sup
port a ticket nominated on a platform
that ignored the tariff, or which con-
tanned declaration for the republican
doctrine of protection. Certainly no dem
ocrat who is likely to have influence at
Chicago can be thinking seriously of
adopting that doctrine.
But what is the ground for this pro-
lection platform talk? It is said to be
the fear on the part Of the silverite
leaders that protection viii carry gold
through" that is, that the republican
ticket on a gold and protection platform
viii win. they thinking that protection is
more popular than gold. The outcome
Of the campaign, if the Chicago con-
venton adopts free silver platform,
win show them their error. The demand
for sound money is quiet but exceedingly
strong. When it is fully understood by
the people what unlimited silver coinage
at the existing ratio means, as it will be
understood before the campaign closes. it
will be found that the demand for pro-
lection is weak in comparison with that
for sound money
If the silyerite leaders are seriously
thinking of putting a protection plank
in the democratic platform, they should
abandon the idea at once. There could
be no greater mistake.

There is no probability of the anti-bond
bin passing the House. TIE committee
that has charge of it has reported almost
unanimously against it. With such a re-
port it would be almost useless for the
House to undertake to discuss the bill. It
would be a waste Of time to do so.
The silver senators put the bill through
the Senate-that is, the democrats. re-
pubhcans and populists who believe in
unlimited silver coinage voted for it. The
sound money senators were against ii.
The sound money men have a large ma
jority in the House. 1t is not their pur-
pose to permit the silverites to force the
country to a silver basis by taking from
silver the support which the gold reserve
gives it. Hence the anti-bond bill which
prohibits the Secretary of the Treasury
from selling interest bearing bonds for
any purpose, will not become law dur
ing this congress.

A good story was told lately of Commo-
dore March, of March's Point, FidalgO Is
land, whose ready wit is well known 10
the habitues of the Hotel Butler. and, in
deed, all over the Sound, says the Seattle
Post-l teiligence. The commodore was
called as d witness in the Point Roberts
dispute between the cannery men and the
Indians, and the lawyer on the other side
with a "what-can-yOu-kn oW-about-it all"
put the question to him
How long have you been in this part of
the country, Mr.. March2'
Mr.. March has a pretty chin, and he

"Fifty-five years! said the lawyer, and
then, as if he were addressing Christie
pher Columbus, asked:
And what did you discover. Mr..
March?"
"a dark-visaged savage"
,'Dark-visaged savage. Ell? Yes; and
what did you say 10 him?"

Fine day? Yes, and what did he say to
Mr.. March ratified off a whole yarn in
Chinook, and kept on, TO the mirth of the
whole court room, until peremptorily cut
off by the gavel of the judge.

Ponr TheatrIcaI sea.on.


The theatrical season Of 1855 was one
Of the poorest. If not the most disastrous.
known in this country in times Of peace.
Managers in all sections OF the country
are telling hard-times stories. and one Of
the greatest theatrical firms in the United
States has recently been forced to the
wall by the failure OF its excellent com
panies 10 draw a paying business What
was the cause Of the bad season2 The
Herald has asked leading managers and
actors. and their answers may furnish
the correct answer to the query.
Joseph jefferson thinks the theaters are
influenced by the same causes that indu-
ence other lines OF business. When there
are hard times. the merchant. the me
chanic and the actor alike feel the ef-
fects OF the depression. Added to this. he
says. the people were not as a rule given
what they wanted. He has never known
IL 10 fail that the public would pay 70
see a show that was meritorious. In
hard times the attendance will fall off,
but If the play is good. and it is managed
terprise viii almost invariably do more
than pay expenses. William H. Crane.
Ike Mr.. Jefferson. thinks that hard times
was the cause
Harry Miner of New York says there
are too many theaters and too many ac-
tors. Manager Friedlander of san Fran
cisco agrees with him. and fixes the over
plus at seven in every ten, both as to
theaters and actors. Managers Lederer
and French Of New York say the putting
up Of prices of seats had a. bad effect.
Managers Harris of New York. Stair Of
Detroit. and Allen of Washington, are Of
the opinion that the bicycle did it. In
the city of Washington the wheel has be-
come a mania. If a Washington father
promises his daughter present, and
gives her the choice between a 500 BIZ
cycle and a $1,000 grand piano she will
take the wheel every time Manager AL
len says it would he impossible TO drag
the Washington people off their wheels
and into the theater if the show were
free. That being the case, it would seem
to be useless to inquire any further as
to the cause of the depression of the the
atrical business at the national capital
Manager Davis of Chicago says the
trouble in his city is that Chicago people
want too much. They have but recently
seen the worlds fair. which was as big
as a city, and they won't put up their
money for anything in the line of amuse-
ments that cannot compare with the
worlds fair. If it were possible to make
an auditorium of Jackson park and a
stage of the lake front. and to run a
play bringing in real naval vessels, the
people might think it worth while look
ing at. Chicago is still too close to the
worlds fair to pay a great deal of at
tention to anything eooped up under one
roof.
A popularity of the season was that
few of the popular priced" theaters and
companies lost money. AS far as they
are reported, their last season appears to
have been about as good as the average.
Does this mean that hard times hurt
the people who patronize high class shows
more than it does those who go to see
the popular" shows?

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that a
young bachelor of Buffalo recently gave a
bachelors dinner TO eighteen Of his
friends. All the details were of the most
lavish description, and 10 wind up with
the host had prepared a dozen and
half of lampligEters, each made from
twisted One-dOllar bill. These We're placed

the passing Of the cigars. But the fates
had a better use in store for these twisted
ones Long before the cigars were reach

isfaction of seeing the cigars go round
without anyb9dy missing the bills.

lars that are worth no more than $50 cents
each. Western delegates may leave the
party conventions, if they choose to do
so, and consider a 53la cent dollar of more
value than che cause of temperance; but

The Reward for The Lynchers.


The announcement of a reward of 5000
for the parties who were leaders in the
Columbus lynching appears to be causing
a great deal of excitement among the
lynchers. and in our Columbus dispatches
yesterday the statement was made that
if detectives undertook to secure the re-
ward they might be dealt with as the VIC
Tins of the mob's fury were.
The people of the state who believe IN
upholding the law are very much gratifed
with the prompt action of the governor in
Offering as large a reward as the law
permitted. and the announcement of his
determination to use all the means at his
command to have the leaders of the lynch
ers arrested and punished.
The lynching was a most aggravated
one. because the temple of justice was
invaded and the prisoner was taken from
the protection of the judge, who made
every effort to defend him. We do not
find anywhere sympathy for those who
were lyncheG. They appear to have de-
served their fate and would have been
punished if the law had been permitted
to take its course. There is, however, a
strong feeling against the lynchers, be-
cause Of their contempt for the law and
the disgrace which they have brought
upon the state. This feeling will sustain
the governor in whatever course he may
adopt to bring the lynchers to justice. If
the courts are TO have the respect to which
they are entitled a stop must be put TO
lynchings.

II IS understood that Gen. Fitzhugh
Lees departure for Havana was de-
layed because Of negotiations between
this government and that of Spain TO the
end Of securing for him permission to
visit the camps Of the insurgents as well
as those of the Spanards. for the pur-
pose OF making Investigations. 1t is as
sumed in unofficial circles at Washington
has been accorded him by the Madrid
government. That being the case, it may
be expected that it will not be a very
great while before an interesting review
of the situation will be sent to Washing
ton from Havana.

mine "in her midst" or that she can have
one there if she chooses. The precious
yellow metal has been found in paying
quantities in the biggest park in the city.

From the New Orleans Picayune Dem.

If the country Is to have a republican
president for the next four years. and
possibly for the next generation, the
co lntry should at least get the benefit of
an administration pledged TO sound
finances. That 81 least would be some
recompense for a democratic defeat But
it looks very much as if Mckinley win be
the man. and If so his election will be a
Xictory for the silver socialists.

Nagging at the President.
From the Baltimore Sun Oem)

There has not been. IT thus appears,
among democratic leaders in congress a
statesmanlike policy to avert the drift of
the party TO monetary heterodoxy, but
merely an evil habit of nagging at the
President. Personal grudges filed the
whole field of view, and the country's
good was lost to sight.
The present decadence of the party is a
measure and expression of the intellectual
and moral decadence of the democratic
pOlitiCians of either house.

Maj William Mckinley must be a par
ticularly thick skinned sort of person.
For months he has been the butt of all
sorts Of jibes and jokes, because Of his
straddling attitude on the money question.
Meantime some of his partisans have
promised his support to the silver people
in the event of his election, while others
of them have assured the gold men that
he is as firm a believer in the gold stand
ard as they. Somebody is evidently being
defrauded by these promises. Mai. Nc.
Kinley has been told so plainly hundreds
Of times, and that by remaining silent he
becomes a party to the fraud. 1t does
