P. Keyes, meets at the City Hail for consideration of the Lake Fund ordinance, Their report on the ordinance will be made tothe City Council next Tuesday evening, that body having adjourned to that date from last Wednesday night, owing to the failure of the Committee on Public Improve- mentsto reporton the Lake Fund ordinance at that time. The opening of work onthe proposed lake in Forest Park depends on the action of the Oity Council next Tuesday night. Nothing can bedone until then. The Council com- mittee’s report on the ordinance 1s the only way, according to the opinion of Speaker Nagel, in which that measure can now come before the Council for a third reading and vote, = Over 5,000 unemployed men are waiting anxiously for the Council’saction on the Lake Fund ordinance. They have registered their names at the Post-DisPpatcu office as applicants for work on the lake tn Forest Park, and every day’s delay in the opening of that work means added privation and suf- fering to them. They are penniless and in need of tho nec- esSsaries of life. They want to work, because the wages they will earn by working will save them from having to beg. The people of St. Louls are responding splefididly to the call for subscriptions to the Lake Employment Fund, which will pay these men for their work. ‘This is a most gratifying fact, because it shows that the public is in thorough sympathy with the great mission undertaken by the Fund. Every dollar subscribed will de paid in wages to the otherwise unemployed work- men of St. Louls. The payment of these wages and the mak ing of a beautiful lake in St. Louis' beautiful Forest Park will begin as soon as the City Council grants the necessary authority by passing the Lake Fund ordinance. CONTRISUTIONS. A ‘**LAKE FUND LABOR Dar.“ The following letter, inclosing $2 for the Lake Employment Fund, calls on the em- ployed men of St. Louis to help their unem- ployed brothers. ST. LovuI6, Jau. 19, 1894. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: In the present distressed state of affairs permit me to offer a few suggestions to aid the noble work the Post-DISPATCH has endertaken, and to present for your eonsideration and that of the public a clipping from the Boston Lost, to show what can be done by noble and generous body of men in the lalso know that al! that has been lacking and ali that 1s needed is some one to bring the matrer to the attention of those in the St. Louie al service and you wl fiud as willing and as arty a response as that of the Boston brothers.

Your lan lic, declared that y some act when the proper time arrived with- Out closing what that act would be. Under these circamstances there arose at Once a general feeling of disquiet. The tional inference from your attitude, guage and refusulto disclose your purpose and from Mr. Gresham’s letter and the Pres- idént’s message was, and is, that you in- tende.Jjto usejforcejin maintaining your policy. The fact is well known that you, as admitted by yourself, in your communication of Dec. 19, without the consent or knowledge of this Government have held negotiations with the deposed Queen for the purpose of overthrowing this Government. The ap- prehension of.both political parties as well asthatof persons who remain neutral in these matters,is that you hold instructions to use physical force for the restoration of the monarchy. Iam not prepared to state that this government entertains this opinion, a!- though its want of information to the con- trary has compelled it to act as if it were correct. In consequence of your attitude in this behalf, the enemies of the Government, believing in your intentions to restore the monarchy by force, have become emboldened. ‘Threats of assassination of the officers of this Govern- ment have been made. The police force is frequently informed of conspiracies to create disorder. Aged and sick persons of all na- tionalities have been and are in a state of distress and anxiety. Children tn the schools are agitated by the fear of political disturb- ance. The wives, sisters and daughters of residents, including many Amer. icans, have been in dally apprelen- Sion of civic disorder. Many of them cee ae oven armed themselves in prepara- tion therefor; citizens have made prepara- tion in their bomes for defense against as- saults which may arise directly or indirectly from such confilct; persons have begun to pack their valuables with a view of injmedl- ate departure; large quantities of bandages have been prepared; unprotected women have received the promise of asylum from the Japanese representative against possible disturbance arising in gonsequence or Amer- ican invasion. Rumors of the inténded landing of your forces for offensive purposes have agitated the community formany days. The situa- tion for weeks has been one of warfare, without the incident of actual combat. Eveu the ex-Queen has called upon this Govern- ment for protection, which was accorded to her. Owing to your attitude the Govern- ment has been compelled by public appre- hension to largely increase its military force at great expense, its officers have been placed and still continue in a condition of defense and preparation of siege, and the community has been put Intoa state of mind bordering on terrorism. This Government has most earnestly sought from you and through our represen- tative at Washington from your Government some assurance that force would not be used and has failedtoobptainit. Your action has unfortunately aroused the passions of ali parties and made it probable that disturb- ances may be created at any moment. lam informed by military authorities, that while the force at your command is sufficient to destroy this city, it is sinsuffiicient to any generalirising and conflict of armed forces and insurrections or to prevent the loss of life and property. This Government is re- luctant to delteve that this condition of affairs was contemplated or expected by yourself or by the President of the United States. I have, therefore, toask youto inform me without the least delay whether you hoid in- structionsto enforce your policy with the use of arms in any event. I trust that you will be able in reply to give assurances that will tend to allay the apprehensions existing in this community. I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, your excellency’s obedient servant, SANFORD B. DOLE, Minister of Foreign Affairs. OTHER COMMUNICATIONS, The remainder of tbe correspondence con- sists of communications between Minister Willis and President Dole arising out of the statements made in the latter’s letter as given above. Under date of Dec. 27, Willis submits that as these statements reflect upon the President ofthe United States and his diplomatic agent, they should, ‘‘in view of their gravity, be set forth with more par- ticularity a certainty.’’ important statement in the letter is cited and specifications are asked, the letter closing with the opinion that Mr. Dole upon re-examination, will not feel at liberty to amx his signature to such an ex- traordinary declaration. Dec. 29, President Dole replied that it was not necessary to further go into the matter as the President’s message to Congress satisfactorily an- swered the question as to the future action of the administration. Then follows a letter of Mr. Willis suggesting the withdrawal from the Govern- ment records of all this correspondence to which Mr. Dole politely declined assent, Then follows the last inclosure which is a letter dated Jan. 1, from Minister Willis to President Dole, renewed the request for specifications as tothe allegations made by President Dole in order that he (Willis) may answer them as he is fully prepared to show that they are not warranted by the facts. Here this letter expresses regret at the Dole cOmmunication, as it brings for the first time Official information that the war- like preparations described by you (Dole) were caused by and intended for the diplo- matic and military representatives of the United States.“ PARTY LINES DRAWN. How the Willis-Dole Correspondence Was Received in Congress. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—After the reading of the Hawalian message of transmission, at the request of Mr. Hitt the Dole letter was read. It elicited Republican applause at several points. Afterward, at the request of Mr. McCreary, Mr. Willis’ reply was read and in turn received the approving plaudits of the Democrats. The subsequent correspondence evoked alternate applause on one side or the other, the Republicans signifying their approval of President Dole’s letter andthe Democrats of Mr. Willis’ com- munication. The party lines seemed Strictly drawn. 1 At the conclusion of the reading of the mes- sepe and accompanying papers they were referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs andthe consideration of the ‘tariff bill was resumed. But for the rest of the afternoon Hawall was almost the sole topic of conver- gation on the floor. MINISTER THURSTON Says Latest Dispatches From Hawaii Contain Nothing of Importance. ALTOONA, Pa., Jan. 2.—Minister Thurston from Hawaii talked quite freely to-day while en route to Washington on the Pennsylvania limited express. He was met at Pittsburg by a reporter whorode with him 1235 miles and was asked concerning the news from Hawaii, published this morning. He seid that while the news brought by the Monowal, which arrived at San Francisco yes later than anythin tohes contained not Knew nothin ve been made Minister * 0 1 le for the return of the corre- 8 1 subject of restoration, and ONLY RUMORS. he The News Broucht by Steamer From Honolulu Up to Jan: 12. San Francisco, Jan. 4.—The steamer Monowai arrived from Honolulu late yester- day afternoon. She brought no news of any importance except the following: Just previous to the galling of the Monowal on Jan. 13 a sensational rumor was current, which was traced to an authoritative source, that a few days after President Dole's reply was delivered to Minister Willis, and before full details of Willis’ demand and Dole’s re- ply had become public, Willis called upon Dole and endeavored to persuade bim to return all of his (Willis’) correspondence on the subject of restoration, and to expunge from the rec- ords Dole’sreply and everythiog else per. taining to the subject, and to maintain ab- solute secrecy about the whole transaction. Dole flatiy refused to enter into such a pian, and it is said Willis then attempted to force Dole to act according to his wishes, and threatened to take the American men-of-war out of the harborand practically break off diplomatic relations between the United States and Hawalt. Dole still refused to en- ter into the project, and Willis’ attempt to nullify his restoration policy falled, SUED ON NOTES. Actions Begun Aga‘nst John Whittaker ‘ and Michael McEnnis. Two suits for $50,000 due on a note were issued to-day against John Whittaker and Michael Meknnis, former partners in the pork packing business. The first suit is institated by the National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City, Mo., and is for $50,000 due on a note dated Feb. 38, 18983. The second suit was intituted dy Jerome Berry- man, who received the above note from the bank, bearing the bank’s indorse- ment. The courts in Kansas recently re- leased an attachment the plaintiffs had secured against the pork house and property of Francis Whittaker & Sons at ichita, Kan., at the time the firm failed. INSTRUCTED TO ACQUIT. Judge Edmunds Interrupts the Horchitz Alleged Embezzlement Case. Louis Horchitz, who has been on trial for three days in the Criminal Court on a charge of embezzlement, was discharged to-day. Horebitz, who is now conducting a merchah- dising store at Louisiana, Mo., was formerly an agent for D. Appleton & Co., a New York publishing house. Appleton & Co. charged Horchitz with embezzling $261, Dut failed to substantiate the charges. The money was retained by Horcbitg as com- missions on sales and collections. The evi- dence showed that there was a controversy between Horchitz and his employers as to whether he was entitled to the commissions or not. Edmunds _ interrupted the trial of the case to-day and instructed the jury to acquit the defendant. The State was not through presenting its case, but Judge Edmunds sald that he had beard enough to satisfy him that Horchitz was not guilty. He nad Horchitz placed on the standand the latter madea statement which served to strengthen the Court in its position. Horchits is an intelligent young man and made a good witness in his own de- half. He promptly answered all questions put to him, and gave intelligent explana- tions on all the points on which he was questioned. His young wife has sat in the court-room with her baby during the trial, and was an attentive listener to the testi- mony. There was a happy scene in the court- room when the young husband ano father left the prisoner’s chair and was congratu- lated by his wife and friends. He was de- fended by Attorney Theodore Rassieur and Chas. Krone. TWO CRAZY BOYS. One Grabbed a Woman’s Throat—Wanted His Family’s Bleod. Henry Worley and George Crancer were arraigned before Judge Paxson this morning on charges of disturbing the peace, but as circumstances seemed to indicate that the men were crazy, their cases were continued generally in order to give Dr. Priest a chance to inquire into their mental condition, Worley is a rather fine-looking young man of about 29, with plercing black eyes, and dark, wavy hair. He has lived at 211 St. Louis avenue with his folks for the past week, having but recently returned from Chicago, where he said he was working the past three months, Before he went he was regarded as a dangerous man by the children and ladies of the neighbor- hood, for although generally harmless he would often make uncalled-for remarks to the girls, and ugly threats to everybody without provocation, Since he came home he was comparatively quiet until yesterday afternoon, when all of a sudden he rushed ap-stairs into the residence of Mrs. Johanna Applehaus, No. 215 St. Louls avenue, and demanded admission. She opened the door just about an inch to see who it was when he jumped at her, shoved the door aside and grabbed her by the throat yelling ‘‘they’reafter me. The frightened woman fell fainting tothe floor and there 18 no telling what might have happened had not Officer Walsh of the Fourth District hap- enea by just at that moment and taken Worley into custody. Whenhe arrived the imprint of Worley’s fingers were plainly peceptibie on Mrs. Applehaus’ throat. George Crancer is the 19-year-old son of Ferdinand Crancer, a cigarmaker who re- sides at 4102 Lucky street. Last night Mr. and Mrs. Crancer and their younger son called at the Sixth District Station and asked Capt. Campbell to send an officer to their house to arrest their son — as he was them dy — 1 ge, and the boy what strangely. „want biood,’ 0 want to they can hang me if they iike,’’ His parents have come tothe coaclusion that he Das be- come flighty.

Thompson and Master- gon, in whose hands the British champion has placed himself, did not come up here to raise any argument about the purse or the division of it. Their journey from st.

Ifthe other members of the club had stuck to their proposition there would most u questiongably have been a very decided kie on the part of Mitchell’s representatives, but the subsequent developments prove most conclusively that when Vendig talked in this strain he was talking through his hat.

NOTICE, HOWEVER. — — The Pope Expresses Great Satisfaction With His Work in the United States and He Will, No Doubt, Be Zlevated to the Cardinalate Zre Long—Catholi- cism in America. RoME, Jan. 20.—A correspondent has had an interview with Bishop Spalding of Peoria, Iul., who recently arrived here, and who has had an interview withthe Pope. Speaking in regard tothe reports again circulated in the Rome newspapers that Mgr. Satolli would shortly be recalled from the United States, Bishop Spalding repeated thag he had heard absolutely nothing eitheratthe Vatican or elsewhere to give the slightest color to these reports. That Mgr. Satolli will not remain per- manently in the United states, continped the Bishop, is certain, as is also his eleva- tion to the cardinalate ere long, but it is well known that the Pope’ has expressed his satisfaction with the manner in which Mgr. Satolli has acquitted himself of the mission intrusted to him, and I have no reason to suppose that his holiness has any desire to recall him at short notice.“ Do you think, asked the correspondent, that the institution of an apostolic delega- tion has been advantageousto the interests of the Catholic religion in the United States?’’ My impression is that the majority of North American Catholics have not regarded the presence of an apostolic delegation favorably, and do not, moreover, believe that the interests of the Catbolic Church will in any sense be advanced thereby. The sit- uation of the Catholic Church in America, it must be considered, is in many respects withouta parallel, and the church there has exigencies which an Italian envoy, whose mind has ripened in a social and intellectual atmosphere quite different from ours, might fail to appreciate.’’ Do you believe that the Pope will see fit tointervene inthe school question at any future time?’’ His holiness has made a definitve pro- nouncement in ordaining that the resolutions of the Baltimore Congress arejto be acted upon and this declaration must suffice, especially in view of the facts that the resolutions are respected by the American clergy and epis- copacy.’’ Has the Pope, to your knowledge or de- lief, made any declaration with respect to — 1 Catholic universities at Washing - on * His holiness has had no reason to make any pronouncement on the subject, seeing that no real conflict exists between the two universities. In fact there are not two universities; thereisa school under Jesuit direction, towhich are annexed two facul- tles, one of jurisprudence, the other of medl- cine, and at the side of this school there is a university rounded under the auspices of the American episcopacy. It 18 true the Jesuit school has many more stu- dentsthan the university, but repeat hip holiness has never judged it necessary to pronounce in favor of elther of the two insti- tutions,’’ In the course of further remarks Bishop Spalding said that he intended to remain some weeks longer in Rome before return ing to the Un ited States. 61 Days’ Running Meet AT HOT SPRINGS, ARK., Commencing Jan. 20 and continuing for a period of sixty-one days. $75,000 in stakes and purses to be given away.

Mr. Sperry says that this voluntary proposition gives no pro- tection tothe citizen. The Government as- Sessors will select such citizens as have not made a voluntary statement and will pry into their affairs. Mr. Sperry says also that the voluntary system ‘‘puts a premium on- liars.*’ > Mr. Sperry points out that it wi u be abso lutely impossible for business men to make a Voluntury statement as to the amount of their incomes. He cites an actual case which come to his attention, of a man who ha: ‘sed a large stock of raw wool to make woo. 9 hose, without expecting to sell the goods and merely for the purpose of " Keeping his men employed.

Long before that hour a crowd of 400 people gathered front of the court-room, evidently bent upon giving McNamara rough usage when he was going from the jail to the court · room. At 9: sucn a large crowd had gathered that the authorities decided to transfer the hearing to the county jail, where McNamara was incarcerated. The news that the hearing wes to be held there quickly spread, anda mob numbering fully 4,000 people gathered outside of the jail.

Talbott, a printer, originally from St. Louis, was found dead in the town of Garland, this county. There were no marks of violence on his body, and the cause of his death is mys- terious.

At this time, 2:30 a. m., the scene, with the carriers’ room now filled with carriers, the streets, Olive street, Sixth street, Locust street and alley, all filled with wagons and carts of every sort, beggars description. After the fast mails had left, the corps of half a hundred or more mallers, stuff - fers and addressers, with their patent mailing machines, keptright along with the same rush and untiring energy at work onthe papers to goin the later malls. As previously stated, we saw the last section of the paper to be printed go on the presses at 2 a. m. By 6 o’clock in the morning over 79,000 complete papers had been printed, and the work of the giant machines was complete. By 5:30 nearly 40,000 com- .

While we stood and watched our page ad. of Sunday flash through the presses with lightning rapidity, we felt truly gratified to know that ere the sun would get on another day, our advertisement in over 79,000 papers would be in the sof people of every class and sta.

With Ohicago butter, ‘‘filled’’ cheese, shoddy clothing and high tariffs, has the American consumer any good reason for staying any longer on this earth? THE talk of the y ‘cruel competition of the underpaid labor of the Old World““ will not do. In England and Belgium, where there is free trade, wages are very much higher than in Germany or France, where tariffs are therule. Is it the under- paid high tariff labor of Europe that we have to fear? -_ n.. a ll — — THERE are two persons whom it would delight every true high tariffer to kick all over the country. These persons are An- drew Carnegie and Chauncey Depew. Mr. Carnegie advised the acceptance of the Wilson bill and Mr. Depew came back from Europe and said times were hard all over the world. ** No DEMOCRAT can defend a vote to put back a tariff tax on an article which has been freed from allduty. ‘‘Once free, al- ways free is the rule of progress. But when such a vote is cast in order to relieve the incomes of the rich from fair taxation it is thoroughly undemocratic, It is a plutocratic vote. i —— —_ Two hundred newsboys on the down town streets are selling the Daily Post-Dispatch for two cents, Do not be deceived into spend- ing over twice that amount for a mass of stuff you do not need.

WHEN Queen Lil thinks on how that eminent Republican statesman, Senator Hoar, is capable of going back ona col- ored lady, she feels thoroughly discour- aged. She fails to comprehend why Mr. Hoar should want to put white people over the blacks in Hawaiiand black peo- ple over the whites in the American South- ern States. — ---— a e — „TRE wisest law the wit of man has ever devised for the collection of revenue’’ is Congressman Grosvenor’s opinion of the McKinley enactment. In justice to Mr. McKinley it should be said that his wit did not devise this measure. Such great wits as Carnegie and Disston got up the Me- Kinley law. It really does not take much wit in a man to mark up the prices of goods he has to sell. — EVICTIONS are going on in New York by wholesale, but real estate values hold up well, Land owners like the Astors and the Trinity Church corporation know that the value of this kind of property can never suffer very long because the demand for it inefeases with the arrival of every new baby or immigrant.

This is practical, practicable and economical. It will insure the best wire service, lower taxation and a measure of freedom from the corporations which now rule the peo- ple with an iron hand. . —— a Mr. SUTTER expresses the belief that ‘*wires will not go under ground until the placing of them becomes a commercial ne- cessity, or at least, a commercial advant- age to the companies using electric wires in this town. He also mentions the fact that there is nolaw compelling the under- ground movement. No, there is not, but it may be possible to get suchalaw.

But when the vigilante committee is formed it will make a great mistake if its members go about with dark lanterns, maskg and arms, shooting and hanging criminals without due process of law. There is lawlessness enough in the county now without the increase of it by its best citizens. The condition of the county will be more intolerable than it is now when the people who must be depend- ed upon to support good government imi- tate the thugs in overthrowing law and order, The presence and pernicious activity of criminals in the county are the effects of a plain cause. Criminals naturally seek the safest place to commit erime. They go where there is the least danger of arrest and punishment, When a locality is infested with thugs it is safe to conclude that the laws are not enforced with efficient vigor. When the laws are not enforced and criminals brought to justice the re- sponsibility rests with the officials and when the officials are lax in the performance of their duties the responsi- bility rests with the people who elect them and keep them in office. So after all the fault is traced directly to the people who suffer, If the citizens of St. Louis County have to go armed in fear of at- tack, if their families are in con- stant danger of outrage and their houses are broken into it is because they and their officials have permitted the laws to fall into contempt. Law officers, courts and juries have become derelict. The citi- zens have neglected their public duties at the polls, in the jury room and in the posse comitatus. What St. Louis the enforcement of the laws onthe statute books. It needs officers, judges and juries who, with the active aid of the citizens, will enforce the law. The Citizens’ Vigilante Committee should de- vote its energies to reforming officials and aiding them in enforcing the laws. When the citizens demand good government and enforce their demand in this way there will be no need for lynching bees, White Cap parties and midnight assaults on the jail. County needs is A STRANGE PROCEEDING. More than 2,000,000 acres of Florida swamp land have been reclaimed for agri- cultural purposes by the Disston Land Co. of Philadelphia. With true loyalty a Philadelphia news- paper comments thus: The mere financial reward which our townsman’s untiring devotion has deserved will not be his only nor perhaps his greatest source Of gratification. Surely if he who makes two Diades of grass to grow where only one grew before deserves better of mankind than the warrior and the poll- ticlan, he who has made millions of acres avallable for the support of thousands of people may be classed among the tenefac- tors of the human race, This sounds well and _ the directors should. be congratulated. But of what use are two blades of grass when one is more than sufficient. The farmers of the West grow more wheat than they can sell, and feed what is left to their stock. As long as there is a surplus why sow more wheat or reclaim land for the purpose of producing costly vegetables for swine? But a quarter of a million of people in Mr. Disston’s own State do not take this view. They are those who want to know why swine are fed, while men and women and little children go hungry. If there is a surplus of food why can they not get it and feed fat? They cannot but wonder why more land should be reclaimed for ag- ricultural purposes when its products are not destined for human mouths. Examples like this are calculated to make people wonder and ask questions. If over- production in wheat and cotton results in misery to the farmer, starvation to the Pennsylvania miner and iron-worker and great joy to the hogs, why should the Diss- tons propose to augment the overproduc- tion still more? There is something in this if people will take the trouble to study it. 2 aa ~~ * e 2 Two hundred newsboys on the down town streets are selling the Daily Post-Dispatch for two cents.

It isa strange and Startling thing that the promise of salvation should in any way seem to encourage the crime of murder. Yet what is one to think on reading the replies of the woman Jennie Liggett, when she was questioned by Capt. Joyce? Don't you know, asked Capt. Joyce, that the man is dead and that you have committed murder? don't care, she replied: 1 . lot him stay dead. it he’s dead Are you mot sorry for w done?’’ dat you have es. I'm sorry for him b n ecause he died in **Are you not afraid you'll be hanged?’’ Oh, no; I ain’t sorry for * if Ido hang I won't have to die in my sins.

It would almost seem that if this mur- deress had feared instant punishment for her crime it would not have been commit- ted, for she would have hesitated to ac- company her victim to the eternal tor- ment to which she supposes he has gone. It is common for those who com- mit murder to assure themselves of heaven when they are on the scaffold, but not many have given evidence of having early weighed the chances of their salvation as murderers. — ~~ al THE fashion in dogs for women changes so Often in New York that Fido might almost as well be an article of dress as an animate object. The pug that succeeded the spaniel has to give place to the buil terrier, and the bull terrier must now stand aside forthe Chiuauau, a dog with fragile limbs and a head Uke a deer, but which takes cold so easily that itis a constant source of care and anxiety. It has to be muffied in furs and blankets in the winter. Perhaps the new breed of dogs now being raised in Ohio, hav- ing Dut two legs, will succeed the Chiuauau, but as there are as yet only five of them the change inay be delayed somewhat. Therais one important advantage in frequent changes of the canine fashion. The features of a woman whose constant companion is a dog gradually shape themselves to resemble the doy’s face, and when the canine features are voried, there cannot be so much ofa depar- ture from the divine image. THE following, from a list of intimidations and outrages in Ireland, shows what has to be endured in that perilous island: On the 28th of December the second meet of the Ros- common Staghounds took place at Roscom- mon, but after about half an hour the hunt was interrupted by crowds of country people who stated that they would not allow their lands to be hunted over by exterminators.’’ NO wonder Mr. Gladstone finds so much op- position to home rule.

Thechicken bill may go through unanimously, but the other may possibly meet with opposition from preju- diced persons. - = „ A GEORGIA bank defaulter is glad to go to prison because for seven years his life has been a living hell.“ It is likely that few de- faulters are happy men, but thisone seems to have suffered more than most of them, AMBITIOUS American women who long to be presented at court may well envy the poor insane lady of Alabama, who lived forty years believing herself to be Queen Victoria, She was a happy woman all that time, THE French executioner who became a den- tist probably ‘does not miss his old place much, Peopie howl more and perhaps suffer more in the dentist chair than they do on the scaffold. —_— — THE folk who go the nearest way And new ideas catch, Are reading every Sabbath day The SUNDAY PoOsT-DIsPATCH.

It is a pity thatthe straw which has been thrashed in the House this month will have to be thrashed again inthe Senate. There has been quite enough oratory over the tariff already. In the House each succeeding speaker went over the ground which his predecessors had covered. Reiteration adds no force to an argument. Chairman Wil- son’s speech gave the Democratic contention in full and those who followed only amplified his arguments, or went into the details of individual industries—always a misleading line of debate, as too many factors are in- volved in almost every industry to make de- auctions from it safe. Further debate will obscure, not clarify, the issue. It would be well if the Congressmen who have obtained promises of the floor from Speaker Crisp would take **leave to print’’ and consign their essays to the pages of the Congressional Record. Un- ion. The wicked will have to cease from troubling and the weary be at rest before the average Congressman will forego a chance to address his fellows. The 29th, then, is the earliest date at which we may hope for a cessation of the flow of the House oratory, and as for the debate in the Senate nothing save the exhaustion of the speakers there— one of whom has a record of fourteen hours’ continuous talking—will ena it. : Meantime we read that manufactareg and 5 pending action on the tariff Why Not Make Them Pay? 0 * W , 4 tebs 3 7 doing.

Home Qusstions Unanswored- To the Editor of the Post- Diavatch: Though my father even before the war was an outspoken Abolitionist, risking his life in the slave State of Maryland to denounce slavery, and though myself reared an ardent Republican, with a brother named after John C. Freemont, yet refassl of Republican editors to answer questions or insert letters from free trade correspondents finally led me to suspect the weakness of protection. For truth and justice need fear no investiga- tion or criticism. Inthe search-light of in- vestigation they but shine forth the brighter. And by refusing their patrons a hearing in thelr columns, Republican editors evince either the fatal weakness of their cause or the gross ignorance of their readers—or both. Common civility makes it as necessary to answer a civil question when written as when spoken to. Nevertheless Gov. McKin- ley, the New York Tribune, and other promi. nent protectionists persistently evade re- Stating and answering the following ques- „ions repeatedly addressed to them by the Chicago Question Club, and they even kept the postage we had inclosed for reply. Dur- ing my temporary sojourn here, an answer to them will be thankfully received from any protectionist possessing the courage, ability and courtesy to publicly reply: 1. Can tariff cheapen an article yet simul- taneously raise its producer’s wages? 2. Would shrewd protectionists like Car- negie desire u tariff if it cheapened what they sell—goods—anda made dearer what they buy—labor? 8. If a tariff on articles cheapens them oughtit not be put the lightest on the finished product and heaviest on the raw material to cheapen it, and thus widen our manufactur. ers’ margin of profit? . Why does the McKin- ley tariff invert this order? 4. If the tariff is no tax why refund to ex- porting manufacturers 99 per cent of the duty on their imported raw material? 5. Uniess protective tariff enhances do- mestic prices, why give sugar producers a bounty in lieu of the removed sugar tariff? 6. Why more laboriously make tin plate instead of itscheaper exchangeable equiva- lent? If toil is more desirable than its fruits —labor products—why not destroy.all labor- saving tools and machinery? 7. If protective tarif is good would not prohibitive tariff be still better? 8 If international trade is impoverishing, ig not interstate trade equally hurtful? 9. Can foreign trade be injurious, yet ship- ping subsidies desirable? 10. Can ‘‘trusts’’ be injurious yet the tariff fostering them beneficent? 11. Why are free trade England’s average wages higher than those of protected Ger- many, Italy, Russiaandall other protected European nations? Where age of country, form of government, density of population, standing armies and all else save tariff are equal, does not free trade give the most fac- tories, trade, wages and general prosperity, and protection the least? 12. As wagesis the laborer’s share of the — will abstracting taxes therefrom ncrease his share or wages? Can we injure labor by lifting the taxes off from it and its products? D. WEBSTER GROH, 1025 South Twelfth street. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 19, 1894, To Reduce Salaries. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The bill sent into the City Council by ur. Gastis one ofthe most commendable acts offered to the new Council. The last one did nothing but raise salaries for cae Perers to settle. Ifthe newspapers are right this bill takes off a burden of $4,120 every year from the heavy tax collar we now wear. and the men reduced all receive liberal compensation for their work, viz. : $4,000, $1,800 and $1,500a year. I assume that 1,000 menin ourcity could be found in half a day fully as able to do the work as the men reduced, and be thankful to get it. This leaves so much money to employ cheaper labor where abso. lutely poor men geta chance to work and earn smail wages. In this way money might be found for the new City Hall. Atany rate, the money of thecity tax-payer should be used to pay its employes a fair rate of com. pensation and be distributed through as many channels as possible, not give exorbi- tant pay to some and thus eat up the taxes to the exclusion of poor people who need every cent they can earn. You are right, Mr. Gast. The people of St. Louls, Repudli⸗ cans and Democrats, are at your back. Push the bill as fast possible. EX. A Laborer’s Thanks.

I see the ‘Young Napoleon’ is now anxious to play Jake four · teen-inch billiards for any part of $10,000, Well, that is the only game he can play against Schaefer, bat the higher they make the side stake the easier it will be for the ‘Wizard’ to win. This is due to the fact that Ives will be half whipped before the contest is inaugurated. Nis last two sensational and unexpected de- feats at Jake’s hands have cowed him com- pletely, and he never will have confidence enough in himself to play his best game with Schaefer. He can, and undoubtedly will, put up wonderful billiards against the second- raters and short stops, but when it comes to tackling Shaefer, his heart will go back on him. I was one of the most interested spectators, at last Saturday night’s great game, and I am positive Ives ‘quit’ towards the last when the ‘Wizard’ commenced to overhaul him. Now, a great billiardist must de game tothe core, and no chicken-hearted player can ever do himself justice against a man that defeated him once, Frank Ives is a great Dilliard player, No one can deny that fact, but all the leading authori- tles now agree that he has been greatly over- estimated, While it is true he can play ag good fourteen-inch billfards as Schaefer, the fact is he lacks the wonderful iron will power, so characteristic of the ‘Wizard.’ The latter plays his greatest game when the odds are against him, but with Ives, Slosson, Vignoux and the. rest itis jast the opposite, With everything theu oon way they roll along nicely, but when Schaefer warms up and goes afterthem they meit away like a cake Jake for the championship the latter figured on an easy: victory and was caught off his guard. J don’t think Ives will ever get another chance like that again. He will, no doubt, give Schaefer a hard rub at the fourteen-inch game, but Jake out- classes himas an all-around player. I am certain George Slosson can defeat Ives at cushion carroms and Schaefer isthe master of them both. - — BENNETT WAS GAME. How the Great Catcher Caught With His Hands Battered to Pieces. § Charley Bennett first played ball at Newcastle, Ta., where he was born twenty years ago, catching a pitcher named Mc- Guma. When James A. Hart, now President ot the Chicago Club, managed the Boston team in 1889, Bennett was inthe club. ‘‘He had more grit than any catcher I ever knew, said Hart to a Ohicago reporter. „„A score of times when his hands were badly injured he would continue to catch, and the only way we would find ont that he was hurt was to discover blood on the Dall. I remember a game in Pittsburg, the last one ofthe season of 1889 for the Boston Club, when he refused to go out of the game until I simply refused to let him play longer. New York and Boston were.a game apart, andif New York lost to Cleve- land that day ana we won from Pittsburg we would be tied. Clarkson was pitching, and in the third inning he showed me the ball covered with blood. I called Bennett to the bench and asked to see his hands, and he re- fused to show them. Mike Kelly was playin right field, and I called him in to catch an put Tom Brown at right. Bennett wanted to catch the game out so mucn that he wouldn't give Kelly the mask nor the pad. I sent him home after the game, and two weeks later Bennett’s hands were still sosore that he could hardly feed himself. He was the best layer to handle I ever dealt with, and 1 Jon t know of one who was a greater credit to the profession.’’ “ah ate FOOT BALL LEAGUE.

LAIRD CLOWES’ NAVAL ESSAY. \ Some Instructive Points on the Ram in Action and in Accident. Lowpor, Jan. 2.-—Lal Clowes of the United States Naval Insfitute read a paper last night on te kam in Action and in Ac- cident’’ at the Royal United Service Institu- tion in the presence of Prince Louis of Bat- tenberg, Admiral Nicholson and other naval experts. Mr. Clowes analyzed the actual result of all reported cases of ramming or attempting ramming in modern naval war- fare, includjng many cases since the outbreak of the American war of secession, In forty- kg Out of a total of seventy-four cage, he said, damage was done to one or sels. In twenty-four of thése forty cases of actual collision the ramming ship received no damage worth mentioning. In fourteen cases the rammer was injured her- self as much or more than her opponent. In no case did both the rammer and rammed = He summarized his conclusions as fol- Ows:. First, That to endeavor t@effectively rama ship that has sea room and is under control is hopeless, even if she be of greatly inferior speed ; second, that only vessels thatcan be sacrificed cought to be deliberately employed as rams; third, that for ramming purposes a little ship is equally eMcient with a big one, A discussion followed the reading of the paper and the Admirals present general agreed with Mr. Clowes’ conclusions. Mx. Arnold Forster, M. P., said thathe thought that the ram ought not to be discarded, but employed under scientific conditions, WAITERS WAGES REDUCED, Reasons Why a Strike Is Not Regarded as Probable.

Anton Weise, a saloon-keeper at 1427 Old Manchester road, was fined $10 this morning by Judge Morris on the charge of discharg: lag firearms within the city limits. In this case Weise had the tables turned on him for having the audacity to call upon the limbs of the law in what he considered an emergency. A few nights since a crowd of young men got Into an ar- gument in his saloon, and it looked fora Wulle as though they would convert the fixtures into kindling-wood and the place into a morgue. Weise called for assistance, but in vain. Finally an idea struck him. He seized his revolver and rushing into the street fired several shots for the purpose, as he claims, of attracting the attention of an officer. He succeeded.

No such injunction is placed on them in their original franchises and in the event of the proposed bill becom- ing a law the railroad companies would un- doubtedly have a right to tage the matter in- to the 2ourts.’ Mr. Charles H.

There is no necessity for such a law. Let street rail- road managers make their motorneers more careful and there will be fewer accidents. It is to the carelessness of the men that two- thirds of the collisions and accidents are attributable. In some instances it is the fault of pedestrians and the drivers of vehi.

She and Her Lover, James L. Gardner Arrested for Fighting. — — SHE THROWS HOT COFFEE AND WATER FROM HER CELL AT REPORTERS. She Remained Away From the Fiat Where She and Gardner Live Until an Early Hour This Morning, and When She Returned They Fought and He Drew a Knife on Her. Stelia Gardner, the woman who attained recent nororiety by her charges against Fo- lice Captain Young was arrested at 5 o'clock this morning for indulging ina street fight with James L. Gardner,the man whose name she bears, and with whom she has been liv- ing at intervals for seven years. Gardner’s work keeps him out late at night, and when he returned home this morning he found Stella missing. He locked the door and went to bed. Stella began to feel there was no place like home, especially when you're tired about 5a. m., and wan- dered home to her little nat, No. 2605 Walnut street. Her temper was roused when she found herself locked out and Gardner’s tem- per was not sleeping when he came down to let her in. When the door opened and they met face to face, it was a case of Greek meeting Greek. THROWN DOWN STAIRS. Officer Cashels was standing on the corner and heard the rumpus. He saw Gardner throw the woman down the steps and when he reshead to her assistance he found Gardner brandishing a knife. The officer took them both to the Fifth District Police Station. The famous Stella, who bad enamoured a police captain and succeeded in springing the biggest police sensetion yet, was found pacing restlessly in her cell this morning. It was late in the morning and all effortsof the pair to secure dall had proved futile, as their frienas are notofthe class that come out into the daylight until afternoon. Stella is a big, coarse virago. She hada shawl wrapped about her and her hair hung in slatternly confusion over her face. The effects of a hight spent at Harry Norp’s ‘‘Favorite’’ had unsettled her nerves and she was exceedingly raspy. To every interrogation she replied with ‘‘what’s it to you?’’ with an intense Bowery accent that eeemed natural and not put on for the occa- sion. Efforts to draw her out brought from Gardner, who was in the next cell, a very lengthy and very profane admonition to keep her mouth shut. THREW WATER AND COFPEE. Stella took the cue from her lover and in- Guigeadin a little profanity herself, wind- up dy pieking np a glass of water and throwing its contents through the bars at the reporter. ‘‘Print that for Stella Gardner's interview, she yelled, and went of in a If y now in our Boys’ Department than any place in St. F.

Eggs and Roots for Eighty Days. SAN Fnaxcisco, Cal., Jan. 20.—A story of the adventures of castaways who were on an island for eighty days, comes from Auckland: The bark Spirit Dawn, bound from Chill to Rangoon, was wrecked at Antipodes Island Sept.4. The officers and crew, except the captaln and four men, reached the island safely. The men, who were scantily attired, were much exhausted. They secured their boat as best they could, but during the night it broke away. They constructed a rude tut and here they remained for eighty days until rescued by the Hinamoa, subsisting during that time on raw mutton, Dirds, penguin eggsandroots. They had no matches to light a fire. Although a Government depot containing provisions, clothing, etc., was only three miles from the spot where they landed, they did not think of searching the Island and re- mained tn ignorance of its existence, Curil- ously enough, too, although there are many goats, sheep and cattle on the island, which is only 8,000 acres in extent, nothing was known of this by the castaways. Notwitstanding their hardships the casta- ways, eleven in number, enjoyed excellent health, with the exception of a Rangoon native boy. During the time they were on the island they saw four passing vessels, but were unable to attract their attention. The Hinamoo noticed thelr signale and a boat was sent ashore. The castaways were in a piteous plight standing on the rocks, some with pieces of raw penguin flesh in their hands, which they were eating.

Bancor, Me., Jan. 20.—The remains of Chandler Crawford, who committed suicide here, await instructions from his father, who is President of the First National Bank of Creede, Colo.
