VERY MUCH ALIVE.

Second only to the performance at
Market hall on Monday in its amusing
aspects is the anxiety of our Repub-
lican friends to show that the Demo-
cratic party in st. Paul is in a very
bad way: is, in fact dead beyond hope
OF recovery. Their touching solicitude
for good government is displayed in
every line of the accounts appearing
in the Pioneer Press and the Dispatch.
The hearts desire of these eminent
custodians of public morality is to
make it appear tnat the Republican
machine rtket will have smooth road
10 travel; below which lies the terrible
fear, coming constantly to the surface,
that the opposition to their schemes is
now, for the first time, in a fair way to
bring all their well-laid plans to
naught.
1t is pity that the papers in ques-
ton did not employ some one to edit
their several references to the situation
on the Democratic side, so far at least
that they would not contradict in one
column what was said in another. The
Dispatch is sure that there can be no
legal Democratic ticket in the field"
Republicans should see to it." Be-
cause the Democrats who insisted upon
their rights and secured them pro-
tested against the proceedings of the
city committee. In the same article,
when endeavoring to throw discredit
upon the regularity of the coming con-
vention, it remarks that sit is doubt
full if the Scannell convention will be
proved Illegal" This trif1ing difference
1t may be left to settle with ITSELF since
it is not of the least concern to Demo-
Gratis.
The Pioneer Press says in its local ar
ticle that almost one-half of the dele
gates,' following the lead of Judge
McCafferty, seeded and split the con-
vention. Editorially it asserts that
"four-f1fths of the delegates left the
hall. 1t is certain that the Democrats
will enjoin the city clerk to keep the
names of the Scannell nominees off the
ticket while its evening contemporary
is equally certain that it is the duty of
Republicans to see that this is done.
All Of which is considerably mixed; but
both of the organs are cock-sure of one
thing-that the Democratic party is
dead. This would be immensely COM
forting to them if they believed it, But
the truth is that they are full of con-
sternation at the prospect that the
Democratic party will go into this
election with a ticket that will COM
mand the enthusiastic support, of the
voters, and know that it's chances Of
winning are brighter today than they
have been at any moment since the
operations Of the campaign began.
Keep right on whistling, gentlemen, to
keep up your courage. We would not
for the world deprive you of your cheer
full assurances to each other that
your knees are not shaking. But when
the time comes you will find that the
Democratic party is very much alive;
and that it is prepared to give the
ticket that your machine will name on
Saturday, with an eye single to the
municipal spoils, such race for con-
troll of the city government as you
the least relish on the 9Th of May.

TOBACCO TRUST.
Interesting Testimony Brought Out
Regarding It's Methods.

NEWARK, N. j. April s.-The American
Tobacco company cNse was continued today
before Vice Chancellor Reed in the court
OF chancery. The testimony was interesting
a number of witnesses being examined re-
gard1ng the substance Of their contracts with
the company and the effect Of these contracts
ON the handling of goods of other concerns.
j. j. Kinney, who until short time ago. was q
Wheiesale dealer in this city, declared that the
effect of the consignment contract which he
had signed was to debar him from selling
cigarettes manufactured by ]. R. Miller 6;
Sons, the complainant. He stated that after
he had been thus debarred, he had gone to
the assistant secretary of the American To-
bacco company and had protested to him that
by reason of d. slining to sell cigarettes of a
brand not manufactured by the company, he
was in danger OF losing much of his custom.
Eventually, he stated, it was agreed to allow
him to dispose of the stock of outside goods
which he had on hand, but he had continued
to sell them, notwithstanding, until he went
out OF business, whether or not at the knowl-
edge Of the American Tobacco company, he
did not know.

AT THE THEATERS.

New York has been enjoying for some weeks
the marvellous beauty and perfection TO which
Loie FULLER, or as she is now generally called
La Loie, has brought the serpentine dance.
when Americans first began to hear about
their plucky and adventurous little compa-
triot's successes in Europe they were inclined
TO regard them as "cable fairy tales" and 1t
must be owned that the cable has been in its
time, regular Hans Christian Andersen.
But as the reports grew longer more fire.
quent and more detailed, the public began to
realize that an American girl had given
Europe new sensation. Imltators sprang
up and came here to tell how much better
they were than the original. They exhibited
some pretty effects of light and some effective
whirling Of draperies. But still the people
wondered If this could be what had captured
Europe. They ceased to wonder when LA
Loie" came. La Loie' proved to be a rev.
elation. She displayed effects in color and
form that transcended the dreams of the most
imaginative. She appears a butterfly, a
queen of night, the armament and in the
dance Of the fire, in which she seems to be
enveloped in flames, which shoot many feet
above her head.
La Loie" will give two performances at
the metropolitan today, this afternoon at 2:SO
and tonight at 8:15.
