CARD FROM PRESIDENT TIGHE.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I notice with some surprise that
my action in Withdrawing from the Char
ter Commission was criticised 10y Col.
O'Brien. who likened my action to child
play. Permit me to say, in reply. that my
period of infancy has long since passed
and the action taken was only in accord
ance with nv own and the expressed
wish Of my constituents. I 90 not desire
q newspaper controversy, but TO my mind
the Colonel's professions of sympathy for
the Iaboring cause. and his practical man
ifestations by his votes. are not OF con-
sistent character. The~working people
would rather prefer less professions and
more active evidence Of sympathy. The
nlaia people of this country are opposed,
irrev.cably opposed. to any method by
which their right of franchise shall be
circumyeuted by the action of middle men.
They believe in the sovereignty Of the bal
lot. and any attempt to fost upon them
the systems of monarchial countries VIII
he resisted to the bitter end. The repre-
sentatives Of labor did not expect much
from this Commission and got less. not
withstanding the Colonels attempt to say
that concessions had been made The
records will show that those concessions
were not made i'm the interest OF those
whom I have the honor to represent.

an advisory board Of five, from the AS

duct the campaign against the proposed

Before adjournment Delegate CIne
called attention to a provision o. the

tives of the press 10 be presenta at meet

ditions. The Inteiligencer representa-
tive violated the courtesy extended by

facts. President Tighe made an expla-
nation of the matter, and a motion TO
adjourn was carried with a rush.

SOWING THE WIND"

Sowing the Wind" which Manager
F. R;ester has booked to appear at the
Opera House next Friday evening, is an
achievement and a promise. II this
period Of change in all things 1t stands
like double guide-post, pointing back
to the Old conventions and forward 10
the new life Of the drama The bold
handling Of its theme does not shock;
On the contrary, the nearer rejoices in
i.he frankness with which ,arge mean
ings are set forth. The advent of such
= play, with the stirring episode Sex
Against Sex" is indeed timely, for is it
no, whispered in the salon and thunder
ed IN the court room that hereafter the
man viii stand beside the woman at the
bar Of public opinion, and whatever
punishment be me,ed out, they must
suffer the punishment together, share
and share alike; that if the woman be
driven forth from the social Eden, the
man may not remain behind.

When Eugene Field was city editor Of
the Kansas City Times. he found great
amusement IN annoying ono Of the char
acters employed ON the paper. Ferguson
wa one Of the make Ups" on the pa
per. and In Wyandotte, where he resid-
cd. just over the line from Kansas City,
he was tho leader Of a local Temperance
society. For over a year Field, on COM
ing down to the paper to 90 TO work,
would write a personal concerning Fer
guson. Generally Il al like this; "Mr.
John Ferguson. the well known make
mp Of The Times composing room, ap-
poared for work yesterday evening IN
bis usual beastly state Of i~ntoxication. ."
This entertaining bit Field would send
down in a bundle Of copy, and the 9TH
ers Of the composing room would set it
up and say nothing.
Poor Ferguson knew that this awful
personal was in their midst, and every
night would 90 carefully over every gal
ley for the purpose Of locating and kill
ing IT, Il gave him vast trouble Every
now and then Field would not write his
personal about Ferguson, and then the
bedeviled Ferguson was worse of than
ever. As long as he could not find it it
might still be there. 1t almost drove the
poor man on the paper. Now and then
Il escaped his eagle eye and was print
ed. On such occasions Ferguson's bur.
dens were beyond the power Of even q
Christian spirit to bear.
