For Fusion that Does not Fuse

Mr.. Bryan's voice, says the New
York Woyld, is still for fusion. He
"predicts further victories for the
combined forces opposed to Re-
publicans"--such Victories" we
presume, as the glorious triumph
OF 1896 and the brilliant success Of
I0ool
To illustrate still further his
wonderful sagacity Mr.. Bryan de-
declared: "Our enemies would be
but too glad to see fusion aban-
doned, both as a State and a ma
tional question" On the con
trary, if money is needed to keep
alive the semblance ofa fusion that
no longer fuses, Mark Hanna will
without doubt gladly contribute
it. The Obloquy and distrust cast
upon the Democratic name by its
alliance with all the wild-eyed ele-
ments Of ignorant discomfort and
political quackerY have been Of
such help TO the Republican man
ayers that they will have little need
Of any other campaign fund ifthey
can only continue this alliance.
AS to the practical results Of
fusion the victories" Of which
Mr.. Bryan speaks--itis only neces-
sary.ro recall that these States car
ried by hard times fusion in 500

styear: Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and
Wyoming. And yet the man who
has twice led his party to over
defeat bobs up serenely
and untaugh to say that "iusion
will be a powerful factor in future
elections"

SUNDAY Liauor seIIIng

did not constitute the only inirac-
tion Of law perpetrated during the
Inauguration period. Disorders
Of more serious nature were re-
corded in the press, involving
assaults on policemen and citizens
in which weapons were used,
shooting affrays, and attacks on
public buildings, as ia the case Of
the Twelfth street station house TO
secure the release Of a prisoner.
The possible consequences OF these
outbreaks were far more danger

The means by which information
was obtained on which to base
charges Of Sunday liquor selling
were not such as appeal to honor
able men. Spies were sent out at
81 a day to sneak around back |
doors or peep oyer transoms in |
search OF violators OF the law, and /
in some cases it has been shown
that officers furnished money to
stool pigeons with which to tempt
to sell liquor. Such

practices have never been iavora-
blv received in this city even in the
Police Court. A former Judge OF
that court has been known to
throw out cases dependent on such
testimony, and we have yet to hear
any one declare that respect for
law has been lessened or evasions
OF it increased by such a course.
Sunday selling is illegal, and
while law forbidding it is on the
statutes its enforcement is right
and proper. Butt is neither right
nor proper Tor those seeking the
enforcement OF the law to become
themselves or to encourage or hire
others to become instruments IN
Iaw-breaking. Morally the alder
or abettor is equally guilty with
the offending saloon keeper.
Prosecuting officers will never
be charged with neglect OF duty
for refusing to make use OF such
testim ony, and such refusal will be
a well deserved rebuke for those
responsible for the introduction
here Of practices so repugnant that,
much as they wished to see Sunday
closing enforced, its friends had
not the iudeceucY to employ them
selves, but hired others to do the
dirty work.

story OF the Uph heavaI in wall
GnrnRf

street.
I. The Morgan Hill interests,
controlling Jas J. Hills railroad
the Great Northern, and also the
Northern Pacific, began a move to
secure control OF the Burlington.
2. The directors OF ithe Burling-
ton voted to recommend the sale
to the Morgan Hill interests.
z. The Hartman and Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. interests, which had
been buying Union Pacific stock
on a large scale, were alarmed at
the prospect OF the Burlington deal
being harmful TO the Union Pacific
and set about to prevent it. They
tried to DO this by acquiring
enough stock of the Northern Pa
ci6c to make ratification Of the
deal impossible.
4. The Morgan Hill interests,
seeing the move OF their rivals,
held to their Northern Pacific
stock tightly to prevent Hartman
and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. from get
ting it.
(. When the Hartman and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. interests bought
all the Northern Pacific stock they
could get the price began to rise
rapidly. Soon little of the stock
was lett outside the control Of the
great Hnanciers who were trying
to absorb it,
8. In this battle OF the giants
James R. Keene, who is called the
shrewdest speculator in Wall ST.,
saw his chance. 1t is said that he
sent out his agents and bought up
most ofthe fl oating stock. Brokers
who were caught short by the re-
sulting "corner" made frantic
efforts to secure stock. They bid
it up to enormous figures and
offered as much as IS, 500 tor the
loan of $40, 900 o the stock "A
hours, in order that they might
meet their contracts.
Thus the stock rose to the eX'
traordlnary figure Of S 900 share.
It dropped back to $500 when J..
P. Morgan & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. eased the situation by an
nouncing that settlements would
not be made with the shorts at
Thursdays fancy quotations, but
at what would generally be con.
sidered fair price. The shorts
will now have to get out Of their
| predicament at the terms offered
by these two houses.
The Morgan Hill interests claim
to have held on to enough Of the
stock to push through the Burling-
ton deal. The Hartman and Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. interests claim to have
enough to block the deal.
The variations in the price OF
shares do not represent changes
in the actual value of the property,
but merely the phases OF the situa-
ton created by the battle Of the
financial moguls for control.
The general stock market, rem
dered extremely sensitive by over
speculation, reacted. Spectators
margins were wiped out and brok-
ers had to sell the securities placed
with them as collateral to save
themselves from loss. This added
to the weight of the selling and
many values shrunk fast.

The Magistrate" well known as one
of the best comedies ever written by
Arthur Wing Pinero, will be the Offering
of the Lafayette Square Stock Company
next week. This piece is a satirical
farce comedy and shows some OF the
extreme possibilities of blind justice "A
certain magistrate, anxious to escape for
one evening from a tyranuical vile,
permits himself 10 be persuaded by
scapegOat stepson to take supper at a
certain hotel The magistrates vile,
anxious to see an army friend OF her
former husband, goes to this very hotel
to implOre the friend not to mel tion her
real age TO her new husband. Her boy,
a fine, strapping big fellow, is supposed
by the magistrate to be only fourteen
years old, whereas in reality he is nine
teen. The widow had made herself
Younger for her second matrimonial
venture. Chance leads her and her
sister to take supper with the military
friend in a room next to that in which
the magistrate and the stepson are sup
ping. Affairs come to a climax when
the police raid the hotel for keeping
open after hours. The magistrate and
the stepson escape by leaping through
a window, but the vile, the sister, and
the military man are arrested. The next
morning they are brought up for trial
in the magistrates court, and before he
can realize what he is doing they are
sentenced to Jail for seven days without
the option OF a fine. In the last scene
the positions OF husband and wife are

Next weeks offering at the Columbia
will be that tuneiul and delicious musi
cal comedy, "The Geisha," which has
not been seen in Washington for three
years. THE Geisha" was the FIRST
offering OF Mr.. Daily in the musical
comedy line. Its success was most
remarkable, and it scored an unusu lly
long run and proved to be a gold mine
financially. "The Geisha' should prove
to be one of the most attractive of the
musical comedies that are to be given
at the Columbia, with ITS wealth Of
pretty music. its flavor OF Orientalism
and tea, its medley of English Jokes, its
Geisha orchestra, and its Celtic beauty
show. The popularity of this piece
seems to go on forever, but not without
reason, for no prettIer, brighter music
has been put into a production of this
kind in late years. The Geisha"
abounds in catchy bits of song and
| chorus work, and there is never a let
down from the opening chorus to the
finale from the high standard of compo.
sltlon. THE Geisha" is too well known
here to need description in a leng thy
synopsis. The story concerns the frolic

officers with a romping group Of Japan

girl DISCUSSES herself as a tea maiden,
and is sold at auction to a native noble-
man. The complications that ensue
