WAR ON THE WOMEN.

The Tribune is relentless in its war
fare upon a. w. AIcCune. After pur-
suing that gentleman for many weeks
with libels and glaring blackmail, and
sneering about him in his absence from
the state, our chivalrous contemporary
has now turned its batteries of in
situation and misrepresentation upon
Mrs. McCune.
In one brief article yesterday Mr.
Lannan's personal organ told a half
dozen of the ranllest and most malic-
ious falsehoods Imaginable about that
lady's connection with the Women's
Democratic club in this CITY.
The headlines over the screed con-
veyed this misinformation objection
to Powers and King in Women's Club.
Refusal of Mrs. McCune to Serve on
Committee to Invite Them to Speak at
jefferson Celebration"
In what purported TO be a report of
a meeting at the residence of Mrs.
George H. Wood for the purpose of
arranging for a Jefferson celebration
on April 20, at the Gardo house, the
Tribune said:
The question of speakers came up
and the names of Judge Powers and eX-
Congressman King We're suggested
among others. Mrs. A. w McCune was
designated as one of committee of
ladies to invite the speakers, but she
emphatically declined if either Judge
Powers or Judge King were to be
asked TO take part in the proceedings.
That paragraph contains two glazing
untruths. In the first place Mrs A
w McCune was not designated as a
member Of the committee on invitation.
IN the second place she offered no OBJ
lection whatever TO the placing OF
Judge Powers and Judge King, either
or both, on the programme.
The Tribune continues: She in
formed the ladies present that if either
of the gentlemen named was invited
they would have to get some one other
than her TO extend the courtesies, and
Mrs. McCune took occasion to leave be-
fore the meeting was over"
This excerpt contains one deliberate
falsehood and one attempt to put Mrs.
McCune in a false light. She did not
inform the ladies that if either of the
gentlemen named was invited they
would have to get some one other than
her to extend the courtesies," but on
the contrary gave them the assurance
that she would endorse every thing the
meeting decided upon. AS to her leav-
ing before the meeting was out, she
had notified those present early in the

OUTLOOK FOR ALGER.


Alger is becoming a stencil in the
nOstrils of honest Republicans. 1t is
doubtful if the president will be able
to retain him in the cabinet much
longer. The pressure has become almost
as strong as the beef furnished the
soldiers, and Mr.. Mckinley may yet be
compelled to yield to it.
But Ayers punishment will not be
very serious, if, indeed. any is inflicted
1t will be like Eagan' s-less work and
full pay Alger has frequently declared
that he will never resign under fire.
but the fire is getting decidedly hot
since the contractors and sembalmers
have been making their confessions.
The administration has already picked
out a better place for the saw-log mil
lionaire in case the president sees no
alternative but to let him go.
1t is reported that he may be given
the position now creditably filled by
General Horace Porter. that of ambas-
sador to France. Public sentiment has
been worrying the chief executive con-
siderably of late. He knows the people
are thoroughly Disguised with Alger,
but he knows quite as we'll that Alger
has financial lien upon the admins
tration.
President Mckinley will no doubt lay
the case before his secretary of war,
acquaint him with his fears and trou-
bles, throw himself upon the cabinet
minister's hands and abide results.
This is one of the easiest ways out of
the difficulty for Mr.. Mckinley, and he
is always looking for the easiest ways
out. Inasmuch as General Porter is
known to be tireo of his post, the change
is not at all out of the question.

evening that she would be unable to
remain longer than o o'clock as she
had a previous engagement to attend
the lecture given in connection with
the Mothers congress.
The Tribune says further:
After her departure the members
talked freely and decided that SEN
atorial candidates, whether they had
interfered with Mr.. McCune's election
or not, were proper timber for Jeffer-
sonian celebration, and they decided
that the two objectionable parties be
invited and appointed Mrs. j. NJ. Cohen
and Mrs. Wood as d committee on in
vitation.
The members talked no more freely
after her departure than they had be-
fore, Notwithstanding our gallant con-
temporary's disposition to make out
that they gossiped about Mrs McCune
behind her back. Besides, Mrs. Cohen
and Mrs. Wood were appointed a com
mittee on invitation long before Mrs.
McCune went to attend the Mothers
congress lecture.
Another evidence of our morning
contemporaries acting in the roll of
THE Meddler" is shown in this further
quotation:
The incident created a great deal
of friction among the twenty ladies
present, and has caused much talk
among the faithful"
There were not twenty but twelve
ladies present. That no friction was
created is evidenced by the fact that
every lady who attended denounces the
Tribune story as false and misleading,
and says that the bulk of it is made out
of whole cloth.
No one need be surprised to see AIR.
Lannan's personal organ carry his war
on McCune right into that gentleman's
household.

PROFITS IN OIL.
Brave Tribune,

There is no occasion to marvel at the
growth and wealth of the Standard Oil
monopoly. According to the sworn
statement of the company's officials now
in the hands of the attorney general of
Ohio, the total cost of a barrel of re-
fined oil, including the crude material
and all the expense of refinement, is 90
cents, or two-fifths of a cent a gallon.
This leads the Denver Post to COM
ment as follows:
From this it would. appear that
some one is making an outrageous
profit by charging the consumer 20
cents a gallon for an article which costs
but twO-fifths of a cent to manufacture.
With each gallon the consumer pays
for the manufacturing of a barrel. The
oil could be produced and delivered at
, cents a gallon in any part of the
United States, and if sold at cents a
gallon would bring an immense profit.
But the oil trust does not want con-
ditions that way. In making a price it
goes to the limit. 1t has discovered by
actual trial that people can be made to
pay 20 cents for that which costs two
fifths of 1 cent to produce, and there
fore 20 cents a gallon is the selling price
and no retailer is permitted to sell for
less, on penalty of having his supply
cut Off"
Colorado has an extensive oil field.
There are hundreds of wells in the
vicinity of Florence near the mouth of
the Arkansas canyon. There was an
effort made "a few years ago to build up
a sort of competition to the Rockefeller
monopoly, but the railroads were actu-
ally held up by the trust and made to
aid in crushing rival concerns, and the
price of oil was put down in the field
covered by the competition until it was
forced to sell out TO the trust.
No matter how lavish nature is with
her gifts to man, she can't prevent the
trusts from cornering nine-tenths of
his earthly blessings.

After championing the candidacy of
"the scions of royal families" in Utah
through several campaigns, our morn
ing contemporary takes a back track
now. as follows: Finally, the great
masses of the Mormon people, those
who never entered polygamy, those who
never intend to, ought to be clear
Drained enough to see that the purpose
has been restored, as of old, to estab-
fish in Utah over them a polygamous
arstocracy to rule them as it did rule
them for forty years, to rule and rob
them, to fill the offices with the scions
of the royal families. and to use them
as simply chattels under the name of

Writing from Washington to the Chi
cago Record, William E. Curtis says
that the delegates from the United
States to the disarmament conference
will not be expected to take conspic-
uous part in the proceedings, for the
purpose of the gathering does not di-
rectly concern our government. They
will be instructed to express their sym
pathy with and approval of any meas
ures that may be adopted by the Eu-
ropean powers to preserve peace, but
otherwise they will not participate in
the discussion, unless the subject of the
settlement Of international differences
by arbitration should be proposed. In
that event they will be instructed to
use their influence to secure the adop-
ton of some definite plan by which
hostilities may be avoided, and the pub
lie sentiment in the United States on
this subject is so well known that no
special directions will be necessary.

Recent orders received from the Rus
sian government for the construction
of locomotives in United States shops
will serve as quite a stimulus to this
industry. In 1896 we exported 312 loco
motives; in 1897. 34S; in 1898, $780, and
the contracts for 1899 already exceed
that number. 1t will not be long before
American locomotives are used on every
great railroad in the world, because
they are universally conceded to be the
best made.

ADJUSTMENTS.

1t would seem to denote a. wide dis
crepancy between the ability of our
American actors and our American play
wrights. that so many of the former find
such difficulty in securing plays which
are worthy a place in our dramatic his
tory. Mr.. Robson has been particularly
unfortunate IN his selection this season
Two Rogues and a Romance''-as poor a
title. both as a title and as a description
of the play it heralds, as one could mag
ine-is no more entitled to consideration
than its predecessor. Its story is one
which would seem to promise something
which is never realized. The plot while
not original. was interesting in tendency.
wherein to hang ancient situations, stale
thriners and purposeless lines. 1t IS
drawtng-room farce one moment ana
Bowery melodrama the next. Good taste
strong qualities, and while license is FOR
given when the bearing on the outcome Is
sufficiently strong. 1t is scarcely to be
tolerated when il is used merely to raise
d howl from the. galleries. Mr.. Robson's
part in this particular creation of
dramatic tendencies, but not achieve
ments is one in which he appears to good
advantage, Notwithstanding that he mas
no opportunity to display his tme-hon-
ored mannerisms. He was dignified, d.
rect and earnest, land far more pleasing
than in one of his buffoon parts. He
demonstrated that it was not necessary
for him to make Il monkey of himself
in order to be funny a discovery which
was probably new to many, and which
was equally pleasing. Mr.. Russell in an
other part which was like a dead weight
to his abilities. did his best under the
circumstances. Mr. Bangs was not par
ticularly villainouS nor particularly faS-
cinating as the wicked duke-facts large
~ due to the writing of the part. Mr..
Holt had more of an opportunity than
on the previous evenings, and showed his
worth as an actor of great ability and
temperament, with the valuable aids of
a fine presence and musical voice. Mr..
Curtis was young, although pleasing, in
his role.
The part of the female physician was
we'll suited to the comedy tendencies of
Mrs. Robson. and Miss Perry and Miss
Strickland We're very charming in APP
pearance and satisfactory in their por-
trayals.
Miss Burroughs is cold. and therefore
unconvincing in her emotional scenes.
In the quiet moments, her clear, direct
methods has excellent effect, but in the
Cortland was seen in d small part, which
could in no way give a hint of her abili-
ties.
The Robson engagement has not ful-
filled its promise of a treat" and the
playwrights are to blame.

this morning for The Battle of Manila"
