Statistics Not Always Correct.

Figures in the hands of a reputable per
son can never be said to falslfy, but II
properly manipulated they can be made 10
show peculiar conditions. In recent
lecture Mr.. Carroll d. Wright claimed
that the rate of wages in this country
during the last fifty years shows re-
markable increase, and in confirmation of
his statement he gives the following figures:
The increase for the period from 1850
to 1860 was from $247 .3S to S28S. "a.
The next ten years show an increase to
S3O2.0s. Then S346.91 for 1880, and
the largest increase of all is for 1890,
when the average was $444.S3.
But the real question TO be considered
in comparing the rate of wages is the
actual condition OF working people and
the purchasing power of their earnings.
Notw outstanding the apparent wcll-being
of wage earners in $50 it is an established
fact that nearly 100000 of them were
out of employment at that time, and that
the necessities of life could not he pur-
chased as cheaply as in the days when
the average rate OF wages was little more
than half as much. Statistics as gathered
by such eminent labor chroniclers as Mr..
Wright are unsatisfactory unless all facts
are presented, and the average earnings

Sneaking Out of Sight.

''Sneaking out OF sight, may not be a
very euphonious expression; it certainly Is
not when used TO designate any action of
the government of the United States. but
its application by Representative Hender-
son of Iowa In the course of the debate
yesterday on the free library bill, was
singuiarly appropriate and forceful. No
other phrase so aptly and correctly de-
sCribes the action of the House in refusing
to pay one-half OF the expense of maintain

tously puts it. 1t has become so by the
voluntary act of the government in assum-
ing the payment of one half of all District

that no STEPS viii be left uudone 20 unmake

This vas brought out today by th e launch
ing of a boom for the Presidency Of Con-
gresham W S Linton of Michigan, who
has been the mouihpiece aud champion of
the organization i'll the House of Repre-
sentativeS.

board sent a letter To the managers or
Mckinley. Reed. Morton and Allison, in
viting them to appear before the board aud
state their attitudes toward the OrgdniZa-
ton, as il intended 70 take hand in the
national fight.
All the managers but hanna Obeye1l the
summons and had long conferences with
the members Of the board. Hanna came
not.
A second letter was sent 10 him and 10
brought a reply that Mckinley would
recognize no faction in the Republican
party and would make no pledges or prom
iSes to any secret organization.
1t was decided at once TO fight the Ohio
man and Il resolution TO that effect waA
passed. Then the mana gers Of the other
candidates were notified OF this action
and that at the proper time the oFganizI-
tiOn would act.
II became necessary to carry on the figbs
in order to secure for them candidate TO
throw the A z. A votes To. Linton was
selected as the man.
When Chairman Stevens arrived in st.
Louis on Monday he set UP national head
quarters and at once launched LintOn's
boom. and hundreds OF Linton buttons are
already being Worn. In an interview 10
night he announces mat the organization
will defeat Mckinley for the nomination. IL
possible. and if not, Will fight BIN at the
polls.
He says Of the 4eO delegates already

estimated without showing the number
employed and the comparative cost of
living.
Generally speaking, the activity of labor
movements are the best indicators of the
condition of wage-earners. When employ
ment is satisfactory there is generally little
demand for redress for grievances. But
when times are hard and work is scarce
there is an increased effort to find a way
to relieve the oppressed surroundings.
This assertion will be better understood
when it is considered that seven-tenths of
the male population are wage-earners in
the fullest sense of the term, and that both
in politics and in the labor world they are
from necessity the popular barometer that
indicates public prosperity or its contra
condition.
If in 1890 there was no popular demand
for a change in the administration of
public affairs, and If a state of universal
contentment existed, we may feel sure
that the average wages of $444.S3 for the
year showed 4 state of unusual prosperity
in the labor world; but, if on the contrary,
there was general feeling of dissatis-
faction, il is reasonably certain that this
high average does not apply TO all wage.
earners. The result of the election in 1892
would lead TO this latter impression.

Faust at the Grand.

Faust" as given last night at the Grand
Opera House, was q glorious contradiction
of Goethe's assertion that his hero would
find a grave in the seas of Oblivion-aS ne
might have done had IL not been for the
splendid genius of GounOd. 1t is an un-
written law that Faust shall have his
laurels with Marguerite, MephistO and
Siebel, and that each in turn shall receive
ovations at such lyrical clinaxes as the
jewel and flower, songs and serenade.
The most enthusiastic demonstration of
the evening was scored by Miss JudSOn,
whose Siebel suggested the never-to-be-
forgotten Zelda Lcguin, and who sang the
flower song with the joyous melody of a
bird.
The Faust of MiChelena was a faithful
portrayal of the demon-driven lover, while
Lorrain did splendid work is Mephisto.
The chorus was smaller than is usually
seen in grand opera, bat it sang with such
superb strength and unison that their lack
of numbers caused no apparent defect.

"PagIiacci'' will be given, when the un-

approval OF the public, only the able Cabi-
net officers can determine. but it must be
done should the third term bugachief be
turned loose in the land, and it would be
fully as amusing as a ghost dance TO hear
their arguments.
The question of sound money as presented
by the administration can never become
popular as u campaign issue. The empty
dinner pail and depleted bank account are
more convincing arguments of its utter fal-
lacy than would be the smoothly phrased
utterances OF its advocates. Nor could a
tart II for q deficit be made to catch public
favor; therefore, it Is difficult to under
stand what issue could be presented to
make the third-term movement succe ssful.
The country demands a sensible admins

itself and the public will prosper accord

T1 HE recent revival Of suspension Friday
for the consideration OF bills on the
private calendar has given Speaker
Reed quite hit OF exercise in quorum
counting. Mr.. Erdman has regularly
called attention to the paucity of members

belief that the presiding officer could not
point his gavel at enough to aggregate 17S.
The efforts of the members to assist the
Speaker in this respect by promptly appear
ing i'll force at the critical time when their

onlookers by rushing up to the rear railing
in his shirt sleeves, with a long Prince
Albert thrown over his arm and minus 4
collar and tie. While waiting to be counted
ne calml put on his coat and then returned
