THE OPERA HOUSE.
Attractions Present and Some OF
Those Which Are to Come.

Down Mobile" tonights attraction
at the Opera house, is one of Lin
coin ]. Carter's successes, though en-
tirely new. The famous "Sunnyside
Mansion" is shown in the first act.
This is place that really exists on
the Mobile River some twenty miles
above the old city OF Mobile When
writing the play Mr. Carter spent Sc.
veral weeks at "Sunnyside" absorb
ing the surroundings and studying
actual occurrences there which he has
worked into the production with splen-
did effect and striking realism
"Uucle josh Spruceby," tomorrow
nights bill, is a good comedy drama.
1t has been well received here in the
past.
The Bowery Burlesquers" gave a
creditable show for its kind, Tues
day night. There was good house.
The large number of attractions
booked for the Grand Opera house
through the Klaw & Erlanger agency
in New York, bespeaks an unusually
prosperous season at that house. There
is no doubt that Akron people will
literally patronize show which they
positively know to be tirst-class.

to the appearance of THE Burgomas-

Judge Tuthill is evidently OF the
opinion that 1t Is the right Of every
person who has reached the age OF
reason and discretion, or presumably
has attained that period in life, to
think and believe as he wishes and il
he desires to secure relief for bodily
ills by simply exercising the emotion
OF faith as a curative agency no one
shall Interfere. But he draws a dis
tinct line when it comes to applying
psychological experiments along that
course to children. Metaphysics have
no place in his family medicine chest
and he pins his faith to the old and es-
tablished remedies for ailments of
children. Sticklers for parental rights
may hold that the Judge exceeded his
authority when he rendered q decis-
ion to that effect, but the sickly chlld

have considered themselves tolerably

facilitating the cultivation Of land,
while the amount Of money they rep.

The professor made a most excel

his testimony should be printed and
copies Of it placed in the hands of
every senator and representative at
the next session OF congress by the
members from the west.

PAID PENSION ATTORNEYS.

Some Of the eastern newspapers,
notably the Chicago Times-Herald, are
strongly urging adoption by congress
OF the recommendation made by The
pension Office that regularly salaried
attorneys be employed by the govern
ment to look after pension claims, not
only to present claims. but investigate
pending ones. The argument made in
favor Of the plan is that it would re-
suit in the adjustment of pension at
torneys and protect the government
against frauds in preventing payment
OF large numbers of illegal claims an
nually. AS a further argument in fav-
or OF the proposition it is contended
that as these men would receive their
pay anyway. whether the claims pass
ing through their hands were allowed
or not, they would have no interest
in stimulating the presentation OF
ill-founded claims, or Of claims OF men
who have no need Of pensions and
who would not think of asking for
them without some attorney eager
for a fee to urge them on. For the
same reason these attorneys would
have no incentive to cause them to
hesiege congress at every session to
insist upon extension Of pension bene-
fits. or for special pensions, when
claims presented through the regular
channels have been found defective
or not possessed of merit.
1t must be admitted that the gener.
osity Of the government has been i'm
posed upon to a shameful degree

YANKEE LAD is A FIGHTER.
Boots, a Wait from America, in the
Field With the Beers.

Thomas F. Milard, the war cores
p%ondent, tells the New York Sun the
following story of Boots, q 12-year-old
Yankee, whom he met fighting with
the Beers, and who may still be dodg-
ing bullets and lyddite shells. Said
Mr.. Willard:
His real name is William Young
but in the laagers he is known by the
sobriquet Of Boots. / think he came
by his title honestly enough, for he

boots many sizes too large, and orna-
mented with enormous bras spurs.

1t was that Boots saw all the bloody
battles Of the Natal campaign-Dun-
dee, Newcastle, Nicholson's Mex, the
Platrand, and the many fights along
the Tugela. Armed with two water
bottles the midget would enter a fight,
and mor than once has a wounded
brigadier, on finding a cooling drink

to discover Boots. II the fire was too
hot to permit his wounded comrades

COMPETITION in STEEL TRADE.

Omaha Bee: The steel trust is not
to be without active and vigorous COM
petition. unless it shall absorb
the independent companies, most of
which have been strengthening their
positions since the organization OF the
United States Steel corporation. Near
ly all Of the companies outside Of the
consolidation have largely increased
their authorized capitalizations. The
Pennsylvania Steel company, for In
stance, has been recapitalized ON the
basis Of $4,000, 600. as compared with
a previous capital stock OF Sc, 500, 900.
The Cambria Steel company has in
creased its capital stock from $16.000,-
900 to $50,000,000. A number Of other
companies have increased their capt.
talization, in most instances to several
times what 1t was before the trust was
organized, the increase to be largely
employed in extending the plants and
adding to the facilities for production,
It is evident that these independent
companies, which represent an aggre-
gate capitalization almost equal to
that Of the United States Steel corpor-
alton, recognize the necessity for for
tifying their position as q result Of
the formation OF the great steel COM
bine and the indications are that the
way is being prepared for active com
petition. Another fact indicating that
the trust is not to be without 5compe-
tition is the organization Of a num-
Der Of new companies, the formation
OF which may be directly traced to the
organization Of the trust. The Unit
ed States Steel corporation crowded
out q considerable number Of men
possessing Independent means and In
some instances considerable wealth.
These capitalists have been indisposed
to accept subordinate positions with
smaller companies and have set to
work organizing enterprises Of their
own. While in almost every case the
new companies profess to be in no

it necessary to antagonize the great
corporation they will not hesitate to
do so as the only possible lei of
existence, while on the other hand 1t
might lead to propositions Of, purchas-
es from the larger company.
Undoubtedly some Of the indepen-
dent companies will sooner or later be
absorbed by the trust, but what is
being done by these companies shows
that 1t will be hardly possible for the
United States Steel corporation to
wholly shut off competition. There
will always be found capitalists will
ing to invest in the steel industry and
take the chances OF competition with
the trust. Only by securing control
Of all the raw material can the trust
throttle competition, and this it may
not be able to do.

RECIPROCITY CONVENTION.

In the city of Washington the Ma
tional Reciprocity convention will hold
q three days session beginning = week
from today. The meeting Of the cOnven-
ton is doubtless timed to enable its
members to put forward the conclusions
reached during the meeting for the con-
sideration of congress when 1t conyenes
early the following month. That the
meeting Of the reciprocity convention
the law making body is a fact which
cannot be successfully disputed. Rect
procity is the twin policy of protection,
and the members Of the convention will
doubtless cast considerable light alpon
both subjects during the discussion in
which they will engage. pr. s- u
There is a disposition in many quarters
to regard the doctrine of reciprocity as
opposed to protection and to construe Ar
guments in favor of the former ecoAomic
policy as tacit admission that pfotec-
ton has failed to meet the demands put
upon 1t and must be, in the end, aban-
doned.
Nothing could be farther from the true
purpose of the advocates of reciprocal
trade relations. In the last republican
platform is a plank which declares that
the policy of reciprocity shall extend to
products not produced in the United
States, and the emphatic pledge is given
that no reciprocal policy shall be per-
mitted to disturb this country's indus
tries by exposing them to ruinous out
side competition.
Within these limits reciprocity may be
practiced successfully. Incalculable good
has already resulted from reciprocal
treaties, and every sign points to further
advantages to be derived from the same
source. Protection with reciprocity is
the best economic policy yet devised
The two go together and only a conges-
ton of economic ideas can cause the
hazy notion that somehow they are hos
tile to each other.
