DISTRUST OF M'KINLEY.
Best Minds In the Republican Party
See the Weakness of the
Administrations.

IL the average observer were asked
to name the three ablest and most re-
spected republicans now living, whom
would he name? William Mckinley,
Mark Hanna and Theodore Roosevelt?
Not if he were honest and thoughtful.
Or would he name Thomas C. Platt,
MAT" Quay and Henry Cabot Lodge?
Undoubtedly, thoughtful observer
would select ex-President Harrison, ex-
Speaker Reed and Senator Hoar, Of
Massachusetts, if called upon to de-
eide. These men, although widely diff
ferent, are the representatives of the
best ability and character in the repub-
lican party of to-day.
Gen. Harrison was his own man
every minute that he occupied the
white house. There was no Hanna
over him. He impressedhimself great
ly upon his fellow-citizens as man of
sincerity and force of character. Quite
naturally, Gen. Harrison has little
respect for Mckinley, for whose admin
istration the ex-president scarcely at
tempts to conceal his contempt. The
other day, talking to an interviewer,
Gen. Harrison said that he "did not
think that the republican party had
pursued the rightful course with re-
gard to the trust question, and thought
the administration was playing fast and
loose with the people on the matter. He
regards the administration, however,
as having been wise one for the most
part, but admits that several grievous
mistakes have been made in handling
the reins of government" When not
talking for publication, he has damned
the present administration with much
fainter praise. He is known to take no
stock in the Philippine and Porto Rico
business.
Thomas B. Reed. the brilliant ex-
speaker. whose equal in mental equip
ment the Mckinley outfit cannot pro-
duce, is VIGOROUSLY out of sympathy
with McKinleyism, and left public
life rather than be compelled to defend
the weak administration for which he
feels so heartily contempt.
Senator Hoar, the "old man elo-
quent," is constrained, by affection for
the party whose cradle he rocked, to
stand by the ticket; but everybody
knows that neither his heart nor his
brain is in the cause.
How can McKinleyism, distrusted if
not despised by the best minds in the
republican party expect the support of
the people, or-most ridiculous of all
appeal for democratic support on PA
triotic" grounds ALBANY Argus.

FOR PURITY OF THE STAGE.
AT MEETING OF ACTORS CHURCH ALL
ANCE, MANAGERS AND PUBLIC DE-
CLARED TO BE TO BLAME.

The Actors Church Alliance held its first mass
meeting in Brooklyn yesterday in the Amphion
Theatre, in Bedford-ave. The theatre was packed
to the doors. There were addresses by actors. as
well by clergvmen and the audience heard a
defence Of the actors and actresses OF to-day and
severe denunciation of managers and the style Of
plays now given at many theatres.
The meeting opened with exercises conducted by
the Rev. DR.. Darlington, pastor Of Christ Church,
who was assisted by the full vested male choir OF
the church Besides DR. Darlington there were on
the platform the Revs. Sydney Herbert Cox, How
ard Wilbur Ennis Walter E. Bently, vicar OF st.
Jamess Chapel, in Manhattan. the secretary or
the Alliance and Leopold g. Winter and F. F.
Mackay, who is the president OF the Alliance.
Mr.. Mackay said that actors were getting licen-
tious and 1t was found that they were being made
so through the power Of money. The love OF art
and the love of money could not go together. This
country visited by distinguished artists up to
thirty years ago. he said. Then came the era of
money grabbers, and in place of art came the
presentation Of degenerates only Actors had been
driven into fourteen performances a week by spec
uators.
Il hold that compelling them to work on Sunday
is a slavery" ne added. Remember that they do
not get paid for It, and would not do 1t II they
could help 1t, not even for money. Our fight now
The Rev Mr.. Bentley. the next speaker, said:
people You could realize this if you knew the
heartbreaking trials of the members of the pro
rise in their art are made subservient to the man
ayers, who insist their Ideas, even 10
playing the galleries, for the benefit OF the box
office. This practice has degraded the art to dust
The Rev. DR.. Ennis then introduced. Among
other things he said tnat II the public would speak
mind there would be end to the frightful con-
dtion of the drama of to-day The dramatic pro-
fesson, the actors and the actresses were to-day
said the minister the most misunderstood and the
most grossly abused people in the world. III you
see plays on the stage which are immoral whlch
are vulgar and defing. do not blame the players;
you must blame yourself he added Let US boy
colt them and the question is solved. Remember
ing the purity and the womanhoOd OF our mothers,
our wives and daughters let us decide not TO
listen to the portrayal of immoral characters on
the stage There lies your remedy
There were also addresses by the Rev. DR. Wint-
ner and DIR. Darlington.

THE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

The oil markets showed material change last
week The demand continues good, and prices for
both crude and the refined product hold firm. The
mild weather OF the week resulted in a general re-
sumption of field activity in territories
and while some good strikes reported the re-
suits as a whole have not been up 10 expectations
owing chiefly the failure of operators to locate
new producing territory During the week several
new sales of oil producing lands reported and
the way buyers and sellers are getting together
makes the chances for additional sales of this kind
more favorable than at any time within a year
1t is reported that the Carter Oil Company has
purchased the BOggs, Zahnier & Steiner holding in
the Wilson run pool in Washington County Ohio
This property consists of about 300 acres i'm All
on which are thirty -siX producing wells with a
total daily capacity Of about 2S5 barrels The price
is said be close to $500 900 The usual month";

crease in the total receipts OF 1877 barrels over
December 1889 and an increase of A677s barrels as
compared with the corresponding month last wear
The deliveries in January were 1894 37 barrels
than in the previous month and 2l2.l43 barrels

THE SUBJECT.

Edward NJ circuit, President OF the Borough OF
BROOKLYN is starting a crusade against overhead
wires But Mr.. Grout says that II would be a hard
ship to compel the corporations to place all their
wires under ground in short time. The begin

city where the greatest danger lies. In the subur-
ban districts time can be taken bury the wires,
there is at present necessity for doing so until
these sectors become more thicky populated" He
is opposed to Senator Wagners bill antagonisttc

Considerable correspondence has passed between
Mr. Grout and Commissioner Kearny. Of the De-
partment of Public Buildings, Lighting and Sup
plies In a letter to Commissioner Kearny Feb
ruary President Grout recommended that the sub
ject OF placing trolley wires under ground should
go before the Board of Public Improvements for

they have been buried in Manhattan. and 1 be-

Court of Appeals any one will that right.
If the Board is right and am wrong, why is 1t
seeking to reverse the decision of the Court of
Appeals?"
Mr., Gerry said he would like to know whether
the attacks on him emanated from the secretary
members OF the State Board of Charities,
he had not heard of the Board holding any meet
ing He thought the attacks were made By some
body connected with the Board or a member.
Whoever the author of the attacks, he
thought, should sign his name to the statements
made about him He added that what he had
said was given out under his name, and that in
future he would answer more attacks of this
nature unless accompanied by the names of those

CENTRAL RAILROADS. PROPOSITIONS

The propositions submitted to the Newark city
authorities by the Central Railroad Company for
track elevation secuted by the city. They are
far less liberal than the plans OF the Lackawanna
and Pennsylvania Railroad companies There are
only two grade crossings the Central line one
at Mulberry-st- and another at Lawrence-st. The
Central bridge the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks is low that il is impractieable for
the latter road to elevate until this bridge raised
about ten feet The Central disavows any RESPONSE
oitty for raising this bridge and insists that ths
cost must be borne by the city the MIA
company The cost would be S265 600. AS to the two
grade crossings the Central offers to elevate tts
tracks so as to do away with grade at these points
The cost OF elevation is estimated at SfO which
the company will assume The city Is 20 paw ali
property damage. Lawrence-st. is to be vacated
for one block, and Mulberry-st-, which Is one OF
the main arteries OF travel Is to be depressed eight
and one-haf feet and the track elevated four feet
