THE CHARTER.

In spite Of the shortness Of the time
available to make the body Of the electors
of st. Paul familiar with the provisions
of the proposed new charter, great work
has been done in that direction. SO ef-
fective has that work been that any voter
of ordinary intelligence who approaches
the polls today ignorant Of the main pro-
visions of the charter must bear the
blame of his ignorance himself
No opposition has been openly made to
the charter. No statement Of reasons has
been made why it should not be adopted
No interest in the city, political or other
wise, is concerned in its defeat. On the
contrary, the entire commercial communi-
ty is profoundly interested in it's success
Money contributions have been made lib
orally by our merchants to meet the ex-
pense of the very effective propaganda
in its behalf which has been made. The
churches, the schools, the commercial
bodies, both the political parties and all
the party candidates have united in the
work of making it's contents known and
in urging its adoption on the voters.
But one disadvantage has attended the
effort to secure the adoption of the char
ter. That disadvantage arises from the
plain provisions of the law. The voter
who favors the charter must maintain his
interest in his task in the polling booth
until he reaches the foot of the official
ballot before he is confronted by the pro-
vision for the marking of his vote.
The G o b e believes that there will be
few votes cast against the charter. 1t
has been well said during the progress of
the campaign that only the voter who
has some interest which is inimfcal to
the control Of the affairs Of the city by
its people or who is anxious to see the
rule of the oficeholding class perpetuated,
can be expected to vote against the in
strument. That is true. The danger IS
not so much because of the votes which
may be cast against the instrument as it
is because the voter may, through for
getfulness, neglect or confusion omit to
mark his ballot in favor Of the adoption
Of the charter. If this danger can be
overcome the success Of the charter is
assured
The Clio e appeals to Democrats to
vote for the charter If they do so it will
be adopted. Robert A Smith has declared
unequivocally for its adoption. Every
candidate on the ticket has followed the
example set by it's head 1t will need
four-sevenths of the total vote cast to
secure It's adoption. The total vote cast
for the Democratic, the Republican and
the Prohibition candidates for mayor VIII
probably, for Instance represent the sum
total of all the votes cast. It will re-
quire four-sevenths of this number to
secure its adoption. The absolute neces-
sity Of each voter who is not opposed to
the charter casting his vote in It's favor is
therefore plain.
1t will be something of a calamity If
the charter IS not adopted Let every
good citizen therefore keep the charter
provision steadily in his mind as he is
marking his ballot and not leave the
booth until he has voted in favor of it.
In this way only can there be full as
surance afforded Of its passage.

Why He Attempted to Palm Off
Paper on Russell Sage.
Russell Sage was trudging homeward
through Forty-second street last night at
7:45 o'clock, when he was surrounded by
four or five newSboys. each one eager to
sell him a paper. The boys knew him
well apparently, for three or four times
he was addressed as Mr.. Sage and
Russell Sage" by the twisting. busting
and noisy little fellows Mr.. Sage asked
for a certain edition of a certain paper,
and the smallest boy IN the bunch thrust
upon him what was thought at the time
to be the desired paper. Mr.. Sage paid
him and slowly walked on toward his
home. He reached the corner of Madison
avenue, glanced at his purchase. looked
about, hesitated an instant and then
grimIy and slowly walked back to where
the ''newsies" were talking. Peerilg about
till he identified the lad he had patronized
he said
Here, boy! This isn't the paper I ask
ed for"
Crestfallen. the lad took back the pa
per, and Mr.. Sage held out his hand,
saying: "Come, sir! 1 want my money
back"
The grimy little hand went down into
the trousers pocket and brought back
cent, which finally found lodgment In
Mr.. Sage's palm. Mr.. Sage. somewhat
wearily, hunted up another urchin with
the right edition of the right paper. and
then retraced his steps homeward
what did YOU try to cheat Mr.. Sage
for?'' asked the reporter

AT THE THEATERS.
METROPOLITAN.

An audience worthy even of the genius
OF Sir Henry Irving and an Ellen Terry
assembled at the Metropolitan last even
ing to greet the two famous English
players and their company. 1t was a
fine audience, fine in the best sense of
the word, and fine from pit to gallery
II one did not find society in the third
gallery it was at least up pretty near
the roof. for, apparently, there was more
of society to see "Robespierre" than even
the generous proportions of the Metro
pelitan could accommodate. And the
play and the players! Well, there were
two of the latter last night and so
completely did they dominate that mas
terpiece of Sardou's. and the audience.
that their fellow players were almost. if
not quite forgotten. When the curtain
finally fell, and one got outside, then one
remembered that the rest of the COM
pany must have been good, for he was
disturbed by no jarring notes. Irving
last night was Robespierre, man of the
people. a coward at heart, a plotting,
planning, always self-seeking, parvenu,
but-and the pity of it-a man who had
heart. Miss Terry was the mother al
ways. Such a mother that a reign of
terror in France would naturally pro-
duee among the class of the nobIesse,
brave, honorable, loving French wom-
an. France has no heroes to boast of,
but the scenes portrayed on the stage of
the Metropolitan last night remind one
that she has had heroines. And the
play! All. 1t Is tremendous realism, and
it is a most stupendous horror. From
the moment the curtain goes up there is
tense, strained feeling that never de-
parts from the audience until, out in the
clear, cool air, one has a chance to thank
God that that awful period of history is
part of the dead past. Sardou has writ
ten masterpiece in .'Rebespierre," but
it is not masterpiece because of any
greatness Of plot or continuity of action.
He has stepped himself In the history OF
time the horror of which has never.
and probably will never. be duplicated

AN IMPERIAL ILLUSION.

New York World
That big balance of trade in our favor
to which Mr. Hanna points with pride as
an inccntestable proof of the wisdom OF
his and MeI<inley's policies has not come
from increased trade with either Cuba,
Puerto Rico, Hawaii or the Philippines.
1t has come entirely from the increase
of our exports to countries with which We
have not been at war, and which we are
not governing without their consent.
In short, the big balance of trade which
Mr. Hanna wants to appropriate as Re
publican campaign thunder does not give
the slightest support tp the imperial illt-
sion that trade follows the flag"

1T IS SENATOR PLATT's TURN TO
IAUGH

Lawyer Frank Moss, the senior counsel
who conducted the so-called Mazet in
quiry as to political methods In New
York, and who distinguished himself by
his singular unfairness In dealing with
witnesses whose politics differed from his
own, has been hoist with his own petard.
He made the terrible blunder-from a
Republican partisan standpoint-of insist
ing that Senator T. C. Platt, the Easy
Boss" be summoned before the commits
tee and placed on the rack. Mr.. Moss
probably did this In a moment of weak
ness caused by the Indignant taunts and
threats of Richard Croker and others
who resented his one-sided way of run
ming things. Anyway Mr. Moss insfsted
on Platt being summoned and the blum
der has just cost him $4,000
When Moss submitted the bill for bts
services 1t was cut down, through the
political influence of Senator Plat. from
5000 to $4,000. and. that Mr.. Moss might
not labor under the deIusion that 1t was
stashed for economy's sake, the junior
counsel, John Proctor Clark, was also
given $4,000 for his services. Recorder
Gon' of New York, who acted as senior
counsel for the Lexow committee, was
given $4,000. There is no sympathy for
Mr. Moss, in this dire afflfction. His
methods during the investigation were so
giar1ngly unfair ana his conduct at times
so outrageous. that all concerned were
disgusted with him, and the punishment
inilicted upon him by Senator Platt is
regarded as being richly deserved

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, January 26.-R. G. Dun
& Company's Weekly Review OF Trade
will say tomorrow:
No news is always good news. New
business for manufacturers this year
has been light in some branches. and
much below the production of last
month. 1t is, perhaps, too often for
gotten that industries start this year
with larger contracts ahead than yer
before, and when half of the work of
the whole year has been ordered in adj
vance there cannot continue quite the
same activity in new buying. The
wooden manufacture has just opened a
new a with the largest transac-
lions ever known in a single week,
it is said, but in most other lines con-
tracts previously booked would make
similar activity impossible.
Iron and steel prices have been
yielding for several weeks, and are a
shade lower for products than at any
other time since the middle of Sep
TENDER, though Bessemer and billets
are still so scarce and firmly held that
only two sales, amounting to 5000
tons, are anywhere reported. Agree
ments to hold the price of bars do not
prevent sales at Philadelphia for
81 07R of iron considered by buyers
ebst refined, according to the Iron
Age, though sellers call it common,
and plates and sheets are both irreg-
ular there, with narrow plates sold at
Pittsburg below 81 rs. Structural
shapes are not quoted lower, but the
New York Central contract for 13, 0Oo
tons bridge material went to the
Pennsylvania, Pencoyd and Detroit
works, and WI orders for $4,000 tors
rails are taken at Chicago. Last year
