THT NOT COY. MULVIHILLe


In the last local election held in that
community the people of the city Of
Bridgeport, Conn, elected a very es-
timable citizen named Mulvihill as their
mayor Mr. MulvihiIl up to the time of
his election was employed as a stOker in
one of the manufacturing establishments
that honorable and laborious employment
for a great number of years, and, with
out doubt, expected to so continue as
long as his physical resources admitted
of it's pursuit.
Mayor MuIvihill has naturally not re-
ceived the support of every class Of the
citizens since his election, even among
the adherents of his own party. His adj
ministration, it is conceded, has been
animated by praiseworthy effort to re-
duce the public expenditures; and the
active politicians of both parties are
avowedly hostile to him on that par
ticular account.
Mr.. William ]. Bryan has recently been
in conference with Mayor MuIvihiIl, and
is understood to have formed a very high
estimate of that officials honesty and
good sense. Indeed he has been so pro-
foundry impressed in at behalf that he
has not hesitated to declare lis opinion
that Mr.. Mulvihill may prove to be goou
gubernatorial timber. He is quoted as
declaring that, if it were possible to unite
the laboring people with those who al
ways vote the Democratic ticket to secure
the election of Mayor MulvihiIl, there
seems ample reason why such a compina-
ton of forces might be brought about for
governors chair
Mr.. Bryan is right. It is from the
laboring masses that the candidates Of
the Democratic party should always
come. The Democratic party is composed
Of the laboring masses. We do not all
labor, of course, in the tire-holes of man
ufacturing establishments, or at any
other form Of hand manual toll; but we
labor, and we live by the fruits of cur
labor Those who seek to live by the
extension to them Of special privileges or
exemptions have no place in the Demo-
cratic party.
The fact that Mayor Mulvihill threw
aside his shovel to assume the duties Of
| city executive must naturally attract
toward him the sympathies and good will
Of all men who labor with either their
hands or their heads. and his eligibility
! as candidate of the Democratic party
for the high honor of governor of the
| state is all the more marked on that &C.
count. 1t is quite probable that Mr..
Bryan is right, and that Mayor Mulvihill
should be the party candidate; that he
may unite all elements of the party, and
| secure the votes of the great majority
composed of the productive toilers of the
state of Connecticut.
During his first term as mayor of Buff
falo. city of no more significance than
| is Bridgeport, Grover Cleveland secured

Will come to an end, or the nature of
the business which may be transacted

OF the statesmen themselves, disregard
ing altogether the wishes and interests
OF those whose property will have to hear
the new assignment of public burdens.
IL IS unfortunate, doubtless from the
point OF view OF the governor and MANY
OF the statesmen now assembled that
the constitution limits the duration oF
legislative sessions. No ninety DAYS
limit will suffice by any means to give the
needed consideration to the wonderful,
compilation which is sought to be enacted
into a tax code.
Judging by the results Of the brief op-
portunity which has been given to the
intelligent public to get an understanding
of the work done by the tax commission
there is not single interest, from that
Of the wage Garner to the manufacturing
or commercial corporation, affected bv
the proposed tax code that is not opposed
to its enactment. There is not an inter
est thus far which has made itself heard
that does not declare that the work Of
the commission will operate to place
heavier burdens on the commerce and
industry Of the people of Minnesota than
are operative IN other states
1t is not allowable to say. in answer
to the general tone Of hostility which fol-
lows the action Of the commission. thai
we are all interested in evadIng the pay
ment OF the just burdens imposed on
property under the law. In it's very nature
the work Of the commission must stand
or fall on the view with which 1t is re-
garded from standpoint of pecuniary
interest.
When the law was enacted creating the
commission no one believed that there
existed any public sentiment which called
for general revision Of the tax laws OF

THE WOMAN AND THE UMBRELLA.


A large woman with a small umbrella
boarded a Broadway car yesterday after
noon at Twenty-tnird street. The UNI
brella had a china handle, which show
ed two cupids sitting on a blue sky. The
woman had a new skirt. She thrust the
umbrella down the hole between the back
of the seat and the window, felt the end
of it resting securely on the curve OF the
Sheathing before the handle was out OF
sight and sat down smiling. She look
ed compassionately at the other people
in the car who were nursing wet UNI
brellas against skirt or trouser leg. She
wore that air of astonished victory all
women wear when they have driven a
nail straight
Two women who were sitting opposite
her grinned at each other. and then
watched the cupids over the large
woman's left shoulder. The car went over
a cross track; the cupids lurched, and
lay on the edge of the hole. The car
went over another cross track; the cupids
disappeared from view.

one man to the other. The large woman
still smiled.
At City Hall she rose to leave the car.
and turned for her umbrella.

nevertheless nominated by a united De-
mocracy and was elected governor by
plurality of something like 100000. Null

him, he may not some day be not only

Of swinging Connecticut back into the

audience to the Metropolitan opera house
in spite of the cold weather and scored
the usual big hit. THE Chaperons" is
the musical sensation of the year, and as
a comedy it would rank high without
musical embellishments; the combination
of music and comedy is the best seen
here this season.

begin an engagement of four nights and

Two performances will be given today
of David Belasco's great wartime drama,

current attraction at the Grand opera
house. The patronage thus far during
the week has been most satisfactory,
and all indications point towards a very
successful engagement Today's matinee
performance offers the ladies and chill
dren their first opportunity of witnessing
this interesting romantic drama.
