by undermining the very foundation

From Wilmington, DEL, Justice.
The more Mckinley and his admin
istration are scrutinized the greater
must grow the disgust and contempt
with which they are held by all honest
Americans. Politically a trimmer,
following always policy of expediency
rather than right; religiously canting
hypocrite; as a statesman weak and
vacillaung, but ever the political tool
and creature of more accomplished
rascals, it is not strange that his de-
cisions and policies are those of the
monopo lists and plutocrats whose poll
tcal teol he has been and whose presi-
Dental candidate he was and again will
be.

true republican; believer in re; |
democratic government, would at once
have sought a solution of the problem
that confronted him by an application
of the principles and experiences by
which his own country had realized
and maintained its national life. To
such a man the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, the constitution, and the
historic traditions and aspirations of
the American people would have furn-
ished the standard and the rules for
judgment.
But to the eternal shame of America
the unexpected has happened. Liberty
and democracy, and all that they i'm
ply, have been slaughtered almost in
their own house. The traditions of
the past, the teachings of the fathers,
the aspirations of the century, have all
been blown to the winds In their
stead we are asked to adopt those
policies upon which all the republics
OF the past have gone to pieces.
More pitiful than the exhibition by
onr presidential pigmy is the ignomin-
ious depth to which the great party OF
Lincoln and Sumner has fallen. Liv-

for the extension of their system of

There never was time" says the
indianapolis Sentinel when the
strength of newspapers as advertising
mediums was so apparent as it is vt the
present day. Advertisers are using
them to greater extent than ever
before. Within the last few months
business that once appeared exclusively
in the magazines has begun to appear
in the daily press also, while the trend
OF events seems to be towards including
the latter in every advertising campaign
OF any pretensions whatever" And it
is the business men who advertise in the
newspapers that are doing the bulk of
the business that is done in this country
today. In fact it is getting so that a
business man who does not advertise in
the newspapers cannot do business.

Peril of the Country Press.

The International Paper Company,
the most voracious babe ever conceived
by the Republican party, has advanced
the price of white paper on which all
newspapers are printed go per cent, and
as result every publisher is now pay
ing more than one-half OF his paper
bill into the pockets OF this greedy
trust, and unless there is soon a remedy
Forthcoming many country editors will
be compelled to close down their busi-
ness. They cannot well advance the
price Of their papers, and with many it
will prove an expense too much for
them to bear. The only relief is to put
white paper and wood pulp on the free
list, and the paper trust is doomed.
1t is astonishing that in this age of
intelligence, and in country that loves
to boast OF its freedom, we should find
the press hampered by a law-reeking
with dark-age injustice and stupidity
that is more deadly to its existence than
the rigid censorship of a despotism.
And the most dangerous feature of the
law is its evident purpose to weaken
and destroy the influence of free press,
by making it impossible for any class of
periodicals to exist except those that are
sustained by large aggregations of capi-
tai or by special combinations, all of
which are to a degree subseryient to
trnst influences.
The law that brought the paper trust
into existence and enables it to live.
was aimed directly at the country press,
the last defender OF the peoples rights.
with the independent country press out
OF the way the path to Imperialism will
be straight and smooth. There ought
to be no difficulty in having the tariff
removed from paper and printing
materials, for in a financial sense it
benefits no one except the trusts, which
are outlaws under the statutes and
should be made to suffer the penalty of
their illegal acts.
But we can expect no relief from a
congress that is wholly subservient to
trust influences, nor from the namby-
pamby representative of corporate greed
who today sits in the presidential chair.

MUSICAL.

Special Musical Correspondence of the
Register.
NEW YORK, April 27.-The recent trans
fer of the New York agency OF the Chick
ering pianos to Mr.. John Wanamaker has
made a greater change in local musical
affairs than We at first contemplated. On
May LIST the Chickering's lease expires and
the building known as ChiclAering Hall
will be torn down. On Wednesday last
the auetioneer disposed of the fixtures and
what other things were left in the offices
and thus were the last sad rites celebrated.
Chickering Hall has passed into history.
When Charles f. ChickeIing twenty-five
years ago, decided TO erect a building on
the northwest corner of Eighteenth street
and Fifth avenue to be used as a piano
warehouse, he was told that he was going
too far up town. Fifth avenue then was a
sober residential quarter. On the other
corners of Eighteenth street were the
homes of the Belmonts, the Burnhams and
Marshall o. Roberts. Fourteenth street
was held to be far enough up town for
any piano house. But Mr.. Chickering
thought differently and so a lease was
taken, ground broken and a handsome
architectural structure erected. 1t was
not only home for the Chickering pianos,
but, with its hall for orchestral concerts
and piano and vocal rectals, and its nu-
merous studuios and offices it soon became
a general headquarters for the musical
fraternity. Formerly opened by Won
Buelow, Chickering Hall has. in its quar-
ter century of existence, been the scene of
a large share of the musical history of
the present generation. The Rummel con-
certs were among the first to be given in
the new hall and these were quickly fol-
lowed by the appearance of Carlotta Patti
and her talented husband, and Christian
Nilsson, who was singing in opera across
the way in the Academy. Albani, Marie
Roze, Minnie Hauck and Campanini were
heard next in order with long list of
pianists, headed by Richard Hoffman, and
violinists embracing the names of Sarasati,
Teresina Ina, Bronsil and Arnold. There
were well known organists, too, including
George William Morgan, Samuel p War
rem, and Clarence Eddy. 1t was the fash
ionable place for all musical clubs, and
the Mendelssohn, Musurgia. Rubinstein,
Choral Union, Palestrina Choir. and the
Manuscript Society invited their friends
to hear their public concerts in Chiekering
Hall. 1t was also the home for the string
quartette. and for students recitals All

NOTABLE AUCTION SALES.

Two real estate sales of much more
took place in New York City last
Thursday. One was the sale of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel property, including
the Madison Square Theater, at Broad
way, Fifth avenue, Twenty third and
Twentyfourth streets, and the other
the old Delmonico restaurant property,
at Fifth avenue and Twenty-sixth
streets. Both sales We're in settlement
of estates, and the property went at
what are considered low figures.
Ten years ago Amos r. Emo refused
five millions for the hotel and theater
property, the offer being accompanied
by a certified check for million dol
lars. The realty sold Thursday for
S4,255, 900. Two years ago Frank Work
offered ST 100000 for the DelmonicO
property, and was told the price was
S1,500,000, but that million and a
quarter would be considered. 1t sold
Thursday for $950,000 Many we'll

considered the hotel property worth
$500, 0oO to $6,500000, and there were
many predictions before the sale that
100000 would be bid. In like man
ner $1,000 900 was thought a reasonable
price for the Delmonico property. The
CHI hot fhnCo

posted.

ground including 49,333 square feet, the
bidding was started by William H.

each by James J. Coogan and Douglas
Robinson raised the price quickly to
$4O00,000, the latter figure being the
bid of John n. Golding. Thereafter
progress was more slow, bids becom-
ing only $4,000 and $4,000 advances,
until the final figure of 81 .225, 900 was
reached. The auctioneer Immediately
announced that the successful bidder
was William P. Emo.
For the Delmonico parcel bidding
was started at 100000, and rose quick
ly to 100000, after which small ad-
vances brought the price to $950000.
Charles S. Brown, the bidder, said that
he represented client, who was gen.
orally believed to be one of the heirs.
The history of the Fifth Avenue no.
tel is an interesting one locally, for
hundreds of Wheeling people have
stopped there, and some of them many
times. IN 1853 the first hotel was

NEW YORK, April 28.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Minister Conger has informed the
State Department that he is making re-
newed demands upon the Tsung Ii
Yamen for protection to Americans in
China.
The departments adyices are to the
effect that the hostility of the Chi
nese to the missionaries has now ex-
tended to all foreigners, and Minister
Conger's latest representations deal
with the protection of American sales
men who are travelling in the empire.
Commander Burwell, commanding
the gunboat Wheeling, which is at
Taku, has reported her presence there
to Minister Conger and will cooperate
with the latter in protecting Ameri-
can interests.
1t is the expectation of administra-
ton officials that Rear Admiral Remy
will place sufficient force under Rear
Admiral Kempff's command adequate
ly to protect American interests in
China.

Town Across the Way.
Reserved Decision.


The injunction brought by the C. &
p. railroad against the town was ar
gued yesterday before Judge Hollings-
worth, at st. Clairsville, the judge re-
serving his decision. 1t is said the
railroad people testified that their posts
set along their line and labelled rail-
way property line, had not much sig
nificance, but that the survey must be
made from the center of the track, and
the town claimed that the roadbed
could not be considered a starting
point, as it had been changed, and
wanted to know why these property
posts were set if they did not define the
line. The case was ably argued by
both sides. One thing is certain: this
fill is in bad shape, and if heavy rain
should come it would place it in a very
serious condition, and it is to be hoped
the matter of difference will soon come
to an end.
