POOR THINGS.

Now 1t is the tin plate manufacture
ers who are forming a tin-lined, COP
per-bottomed, and altogether imper-
vious combination. They are much to
be commiserated, these unhappy gen
tlemen. They were doing a satisfac-
tory business when Mckinley came
along and doubled the rate of duty On
their product. At once large amounts
Of capital were enticed into this indus
try by the guarantee of enormous
profits to be extracted in taxes from
the common people using commodi-
ties made from tin plate. Factories
were built by the score, and every
thing went booming for a while; and
the people paid the piper. Along came
the new tariff bill, with a reduction
which most people considered to be too
moderate, rather than excessive. 1t
did not reduce the profits of the busi-
ness even then to a reasonable figure.
The price statistics which we have
quoted repeatedly show that, with the
duty as 1t now stands, the English
manufacturer is not able to compete
with the American.
| But a combine has been formed
among the makers Of steel billets, also
relying upon the present protection
and the promise Of big boost when
! their contributions of fat shall have
| elected a Republican congress, and
| the tin plate men are pressed upon
| from that side. So they are going into
| the trust business little more COM
pletely than they have already done.
| Their combine is intended to cover
| and will include all the factories In
| the United States; and, like the steel
| pool, 1t will fiX the price and regulate
| the output. The steel men have
agreed, we understand, to pay into a
| fund certain amount for every ton
manufactured, which is to be forfeited
in case any member Of the combine
| cuts prices or products in excess Of the
| limit assigned to him by the trust
managers. The same policy will be
pursued in the tin plate Industry, and
seventy millions Of people will be held
relentlessly in the grip of one Of the
most powerful combinations known
to the history Of this or any other
| country. This is a foretaste of what
the industrial condition Of the en-
tire country will become should Re
| publican policies prevail. Will the
| people stand it?

AT THE THEATERS.

There is some old-time minstrelsy in Hi
Henry's show, which opened at the Metropol-
itan opera house last evening. Frank e. Nc
Nfsh is an instance Frank, of course, has
his usual bout with the dialect from one end,
and does his "silepce and fun act with q
few bicycle eccentricities interlarded. which
give it fresh flavor. He also has some
good parodies.
The other end from Mr.. McNish is held
down by Arthur Derning, who has some new
jokes and some old parodies, and a new par
ody on Paradise Alley" Mr.. Deming's con-
tributions are excruciatingly funny, but in
portions they are hardly adapted for au-
diences in first-class theaters. There is a
suggestion of the Bowery that is not nice,
don't you know?
There are two relays Of end men, each CIV
ing different jokes. The other relay is head
ed by Larry McEvoy and j. Marcus Doyle,
who later in the programme interject some
fine clog numbers.
j. Albert Gates. and the counter tenor
Roger Harding, take the honor in the vocal
programme. 81
Instead of the usual wait for the olio, there
is 1nterpolated descriptive interlude, tour
OF the world in ten minutes, being illustrated
by stereopticon views, accompanied by appro-
pirate national airs, echoes of the Midway
plalsanee, sailors hornpipes, steamer whis-
ties, and what not.
The Rexford brothers, acrobats, present a
speciality which is daring, if not finished.
lack OF confidence marred slightly what is
really creditable performance.
Hi Henry himself and bands present con-
cert programme which serves to display the
leaders mastery of the cornet on an appro-
pirate background. His Ben Bolt was par
ticularly effective.
The performance closes with performance
by the "Hindoo Fakirs." They burn the
turban and restore 1t, shell corn and pop 1t
in blanket without fire, grow plant in
three minutes, and lock one of them in a
basket and stick dagger through the basket
to show that there is no illusion.
The engagement closes Sunday night,
There will be the usual matinee at the
Grand tomorrow, the attraction being "The
Corner Grocery"

HoMEoPATHs AND THE G. A. r..
They Want Recognition or VIII Go
1t Alone.

The regular meeting of the st. Paul Society
of Homeopathic Physicians and Surgeons was
held at 2S9 Endicott building. The officers
present were DR.. A. N. Eastman, president;
DR.. S. G. Cobb, vice present; DR.. c. H. Hail.
secretary and treasurer.
DR.. g. G.. Higbee appointed as additional
members of his staff Drs. E. S.Schmidt and
J. B. Lewis.
The committee on G. A. R. matters reported
that the request Of the society for recogni-
ton had been referred to the executive COM
mittee of the encampment which had held
no meeting since the presentation. DR.. Hig-
bee said that he had thought the matter over
fully and favored continuing the organiza-
ton, whether the committee grants the recog-
milton asked or not. He recommended that
they have their own hospital and free dis
pensary, with a physician in attendance at all
times, and reported that he had assurance
of an ambulance from Fort Smelling. He
also offered a portion of his own home,
which can accommodate twenty-five cots. He
also suggested that a tent could be erected
on his lawn for free dispensary.
A letter was read from RI. Frank Higbee
Of Louisville, KY, giving plans and arrange
ments adopted at the Louisville meeting
and the suggestions were adopted.
DR.. Donald read a paper, which was fol-
low ed by general discussion.

PETERSON ON LABOR.
Address Before the Swedish NJ. e.
Conference.

Edward Peterson delivered an address be-
fore the Swedish Methodist conference last
night upon the topic, ga Scientific Solution
of the Labor Problem Mr.. Peterson's ar
guments were skillful and interesting, and
were much enjoyed. He certainly set forth
many facts frequently forgotten by the stu
dents of the labor problem. .
Yesterday morning the conference discussed
the advisability of adopting the local plan
OF church extension as practiced by the Ger
mans. Under the present system the Meth
odist church has a lares fund from which
all the churches draw. Under the German
plan each district provides for the charges
in that district. The German plan simplifies
the work.
The question finally was dropped. 1t was
decided to ask permission of the general con-
ference at Philadelphia to convert their mis-
sion conference into an annual conference.
A parlor conference was held in the aft
ernoon at the residence of Rev. Andrew Sod
quist, 651 John street. Rev. ]. A. Wagner
opened the conference with an address on
the Comparison Of the Doctrines of James
and Paul.

Of Hansbrough and Pettigrew has a
strong moral for men who are doubt
full about what position to take on the

one as showing how little demand for
earnestness and honesty, and how
slight a punishment for their opposites

CULLEN FOR MAYOR.

The Democrats Of st. Paul have nominated
o. o. Cullen for mayor. The contest in that
city will be a hot one this spring.-Little
Falls Transcript.
In nominating o. o. Cullen for mayor, the
Democrats of st. Paul have practically won
the coming election. Mr.. Cullen, during the
past two or three months, declined several
times to permit the use of his name, or to
consent to a nomination. Within few
days past, the demand became unanimous
among the Democrats that he lead. In fact,
many Republicans expressed like desire.
When the convention met on Monday, there
was but one name-Cullen-on every slip,
and he was named with great enthusiasm
st. Cloud Times.
The Democratic candidate for mayor of St.
Paul, is o. o. Cullen; comptroller ]. /. Beau
mont; treasurer, John Wagner. The first
round of Democratic nominations, under the
Scannell regime, didn't stand the test as was
expected, and the fellows who were unfortu-
nate enough to get in on that ticket refused
to come to the surface and qualify. The fight
between the two parties promises to be very
interesting with the chances about even as
between Messrs. Doran and Cullen.-Still-
