Civilization and Shop Girls.

A special from Pittsburg to the N. Y.
World announces raid of the police
on the Tenderloin Of that city. One hun
dred girls, nearly all of them under TWEEN
ty years Of age, were arrested in one
night Most Of these were shop girls
whose wages, are from S. to S. per week.
Of course, they cannot support life and
dress handsomely on such pay-hence the
night in the Tenderloin.
Is it not terrible?
Pittsburg is the darling spot of Our
Protective system. It is in Pittsburg that
the benefciaries of Our Tariff thrive. And
it is in Pittsburg that Prick, Carnegie,
Schwab and Corey pile up millions more
than they can ever use.
That's what Capital gets out of law
made monopoly Of the American market.
What does labor get out of it
The least possible wage that can be
enforced.
Yet the Tariff is imposed upon the
American consumer for the pretended
benefit of the American laborer.
But the workmen in the protected in
dustries only get, all told, about 20 per
cent of the value of his product, while
the Tariff duty, alone, is more than 50
per cent on the greater portion of the
articles he produces.

/ still contend that we have got the
best banking system on earth. Seventeen
of the pets busted in New York last week,
but that was no fault of theirs. AS Our
genial Coca-Cola friend, Asa Gambler,
says, the whole trouble has been caused
by the demagogues.
Every time one of the big New York
banks burst, a whole lot of little banks
go to bursting, until it sounds like a string
of fre-crackers. Our ideal system of fin
ance is so constructed that when one bank
blows up, others are apt to get knocked
over. They seem to be set up like the
pins in ten-pin alley. If you hit one the
whole doggone business goes to tumb-
ling.
That is just the way it should be. In
fact, that's one Of the reasons why our
banking system is the best On earth 1t
is SO impartial in it's operation that when
anybody busts, everybody busts
Equal rights to al1'-you see.
The only possible objection to the prin-
ciple thus applied is that nobody seems
to have any rights, after the banks bust,
except the angels on the inside.
Those on the outside are goats. Depos-
itors and such are not only goats, but
black goats.
The angels on the inside first issue
statement that everybody will get his
money; and in the windup nobody gets
any, excepting the angels inside.
Sometimes there isn't enough to satisfy
even the angels, and then they fall out
with one another, and talk about one
another scandalous.
But, nevertheless and moreover, I still
stand up, on both hind legs, ready to
make good my contention that ours is
the best banking system on earth.
And after Aldrich's bill gets through
Congress, it is going to make the bank
ing system still better.
Railroad presidents, sitting in their rail
road offices, will double the amount of

i am business man, myself" says
William Randolph. Just SO; and Harri-
man is another Selah.
Time and again, we have given the
undisputed facts to prove how our tariff
on ship-building materials has made it
impossible for Our merchant marine to
compete with foreign merchants who can
build their ships more cheaply.
Time and again we have demonstrated
that there are two very simple and prac-
ticable modes by which the American
merchant marine can be resurrected:
CD Give to the American the protec-
ton of the flag, regardless of where he
builds or buys his ship; and
(2) Put ship-building materials on the
free list.
Either one of these simple and equitable
remedies would cure the disease which
afflicts Our merchant marine.
Why should Mr.. Hearst object to al
lowing the American merchant to buy
or build his vessel wherever he can do so
to the best advantage?
Why compel him to knuckle down to
the Steel Trust?
AS to Great Britain's aiding maritime
commerce by subsidies, the statement is
just simply untrue. Great Britain does
nothing of the sort. What Great Britain
does do is to pay special steamers for
special mail service.
The idea of the Queen of the Seas pay
ing out bounties to keep afoat the thou-
sands of English ships that churn the
waters of every region of the globe, is
preposterously absurd.

Gay New York; Is the Same as Ever
Gay New York." very funny
and tuneful musical comedy in two
acts, proved a very pleasing attrac
ton yesterday afternoon and night
at the opera house. The songs are
the same songs that We're undoubted-
ly sung the opening night, but they
are all good, both air and sentiment.
No opportunity Is presented for a
change and the composer has done
well in first selecting solos that stand
the test of time The lines are un-
questionably funny, and fit the plot
to a nicely. Last night they were
well spoken and received their full
quota of appreciation.
AS Herman Schultz, Harry Emer-
son was good. He really has no
voice to speak of, but he has style,
which oftentimes counts for much
more. He was compelled to respond
to about a dozen encores in his
'Hinkey Dee" song.
Ada Henry as Bertha Schultz, lis
wife. portrayed the character of
virago to perfection She has good
stage presence and is forceful with
out being bOisterous-
Will P. Conley as Walter Brook
Jennings was quite clever His one
great trouble, however, was poor
enunciation. His antics, neverthe-
less, pleased. Robert Cunningham,
as Henry, is funny both in makeup
and acting AS Mile. Florizell, Hilda
Hawthorne, Al Nebur as Wilbur Jen-
nings, Virginia Varco as Julia

man in the city Jail last night.
The sailor, who had imbibed too
freely, approached enc or more par

morrow, and where could be obtain
that with which to quench his thirst
He was told TO go to a policeman,
and straight away he went TO officer
Schmitz That custodian of the peace
was somewhat astounded when the
sailor accosted him and asked for the
unusual information.
The officer told the man to get on
down the street, but the latter was
in earnest, and would stand for no
such talk on such serious subject.
When the officer again told him to
get down the street and cease asking
such questions, the sailor not only
refused to go but demanded that OFF,
Ger Schmitz put him wise as to the
Sunday drinking place. He then
went to jail.
