SOMKonesuggests the name of Henry Watte rson for Secretary of the Navy. Thin is a sly way of poking: fun at the distinguished southern journalist because of his abhorrence of water as a beverage. _____

And now it is rumored that Senator Hill is fiooti to wed a wealthy southern widow. Tbo senator is a little late in embarking in matrimony, but having

tried

almost everything else in life this la probably the only novelty left for him.

Tiierk is a rumor that John Sherman will resign his seat in the senate. It is to be hoped that it is without foundation. His party is now in a position to require all the ability possessed by such a distinguished leader, and his desertion at this time would be a calamity the result of which cannot be foreseen.

Gehkral Weaver has "private advices" that bis party carried Alabama by 3,000 plurality. The advice is so private that the general has a monopoly of the information and its source. He also says that his party Is here to stay. Probably it is, but as neither of the other parties will have any use for a catspaw in 1896, it won't cut a very wide swath.

Since the election Mrs, Lease has been suffering with a severe attack of enlargement of the gall. She Is now overhauling tue constitution of Kansas to see if she is eligible to the position of United States senator. Later on, when thelegis lature meets, she will hear something drop with "a dull, sickening thud," and subsequent proceeding will interest her no more—forover, it is to be hoped.

Vahioits plans have been laid out for the future of President Harrison. One Is that he will return to Indianapolis and resume the practice of law. Anothor is that he is to form a law partnership with Secretary Tracy and settle down In Now York, while a telegram from Washington this week says that when he retires from the White Houso he will visit Boston and then go to .Europe.

Montana ban elected a wcman, Ella Knowlos, attorney general. Of course she in a populist, and she ran several hundred ahead of her ticket. In that portion of the world women are very scarce, and by common consent aro allowed the whole earth, if nothing less will cover the demand. In this case Miss or Mrs, Knowles was satisfied with the attorney generalship.

Tom Patterson, of Colorado, has peremptorily declined a position in Gloveland's cabinet. True it is that the position has never been oflered him, but Tommy wants to serve notice on the now administration that he won't play. This Pattorson la closely related to JBilly Patterson, who was made famous through the failure of any person to discover who hit him. Somebody should hit Tom with a stuffed

hIuIk

Governor Ouask has pardoned fixe convicts who have been serving terms in the penitentiary. One is a colored man serving a life sentence for murder and wh» has become insane another is a man serving ten years for alleged manslaughter in shooting a fellow who reflected on the chastity of his wife the third is a ourglar serving three years who Is dying of consumption, and the other two were serving a year for stealing two pairs of shoes. For a wonder, no one has yet been fouud whooritiois** the governor for his action.

Pcrxno President Harrison's term of otiftee there have been no loss than fourteen deaths among those connected with the official family. The executive staff of the house has been reduced almost half by death. In the list are a Cabinet officer and several members of the Cabinet family, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Halford, Mrs. Prnden, the telegraph operator and his daughter, a trusted employe brought by Mrs. Harrison from Indianapolis, to Senators, and lastly, the chief door-keeper, Captain Dlnsmore. It is a death record which has never been ©quailed by any other administration.

Tit

kre

ts a f*ir prospect that the Demo

cratic and Republican member® of the Kansas legislature will combine and send a Democrat or Republican member to the United States senate, thereby defeating Ihe third parity. In the thre* Democratic member* of the senate and house joined with their Republican brethren in making the election of Senator Plumb unanimous, and this year history may repeat Itself. One Simpson and one Porter arc too many of kind in congress, and the number should te rednced rather than increased.

1 A O E S W A E S Not the least important element in deciding the late presidential- contest was the laboring man, who is always a potent factor in

the

earn

success of political

parties in the United States. Throughout the campaign it was dinned in his

continually that his condition had »t«adily unproved under the benign influence «»f protection,

and

figures, such

as the famous Peek report, were quoted to show how much more

money

is being

paid annually to the laborer under the McKinley bill than had ever been paid before. The politicians who made these arguments evidently overlooked the fact that no one knew as well as the laborer himself whether or not his wages had increased, and the exact extent of his gain or loss.

At any rate, there is no country in the world in which the laboring man is so well off as be is in this. The institutions of our country make It possible for him to own his own home in fee simple and aocumulate property if he has ability, tact and industry, a boast which the laboring man of no country in Europe can make. In considering the condition of the laboring man at the present time it would be no harm to take a look at him in the past and see bow his circumstances have gradually improved. There is no disputing the fact that he is much better off to-day than he was old. His right to combine and form trade unions does not date beyond the present century. The laws forbidding such organizations in England were not repealed until 1824.

The best historian of wages, Thorald Rodgers, says that "throughout the eighteenth century the most enlightened men gave the poor their pity, occasionally their patronage, sometimes would assist them ai the cost of other workers but beyond a bare existence never imagined tbey had rights or remembered that they had suffered wrongs." Then, after further depicting the wretched lot of the wage-worker, he continues: "To crown the whole, the penalties of felony and couspiiracy were denounced against all laborers who associated together to better their lot by endeavoring to sell their labor in concert, while the desperation which poverty and misery induce and the crime they suggest were met by a code more sain guinary and brutal than 4ny which a civilized nation had ever theretofore devised or a high-spirited one submitted to."

But even the condition described was better than it had been in England in previous times. In the fifteenth century the laboring man could not give his daughter In marriage or send his children to school or teach his son a trade without first obtaining the consent of his lord. The farm laborer was a portion of the land, and could not go on even a small journey without first obtaining permission. If he went to another county and wished to avoid arrest for vagrancy he must provide himself with a pass, stating who he was, where he belonged, and his business away from home. Mechanics had to carry similar passports from tho town officials. Wages were regulated by statute and a conviction of receiving more than the legal rate meant Imprisonment and the stocks.

The advance of civilization, however, has changed all this, and there is none to dispute the right of eVery man to dispose of bis labor to the best advantage, and to consult with his fellows In doing so, while under the existing condition of things hi* compensation has steadily increased. The advance of civilization, the fruits of'invention and the accumulation of wealth have bettered him beyond calculation, Improvements in shoe factories give him cheaper shoes every innovation for the cultivation of the soil, and in transportation, gives him cheaper food. When capital accumulates there are more bidders for his services and smaller profits to those for whom he works, and statistics show that these tendencies of wages to increase aud prices to diminish are spreading with Increasing force. Manufactured goods have declined more in price during the last ten years than in any previous ten years, and more is expected in the coming ten years. In the midst of so many cries of alarm these figures are reassuring and inspire cunfldence. In voting for a change it is to be hoped for the good of the country that the hopes of the laboring man will be realized, and that if he has not been receiving his fair share of the profits he soon may do so.

AMUSEMENTS.

The Xancy Hanlu of Farce Comedy, "The Hastier" To-Nlght.

Modern musical farce will have an inning at the Naylor opera house tonight, the attraction being "The Hustler," which will be pleasantly recalled as one of the crack laughing shows of last season and which now comes back to us crowded with new song, new music, newly arranged dances, and with a libretto written right up to date. "The Hustler" deals with the fantastic financial exploits of "Con" McFadden, a gentleman who is in a chronic state of bankruptcy, but who rejoices in the sobriquet of "The Hustler." The character is modelled after the late John T. Raymond's impersonation of Colonel Mulberry Sellers, and is played most effectively by that rolicking actor George F. Marion, who has been termed a comedy in himself. Harry Watson a Qerman dialect comedian has a congenial role, Anheuser Busch, who is made the frequeut victim of McFadden's airy, fairy schemes for raising lucre. Qua Mills, as the mis tress of the Cambridge Flats, also carries off the goodly share of honors. Sadie Kir by is seen in the well-drawn part of Carrie Onn Anna Black assumes most charmingly a role satirizing the modern society belle John Gilroy, an unctuous and agile little comedian, plays the part of a "tuff" office boy, and Leonard Somers presents a clean cut portraiture of the typical London swell. The grace, beauty and chic of the performance is furnished by a bevy of soubrettes comprising Julia Taylor, Mayme Mayo, Clara Belle, Agnes Daly, Lillie Raymond, Agnes Howard and Alice Hutchius. Incidental to the action of the play a plethora of fetching "specialties,' are made known, inolud-' ing, in addition to the "turns" of the principals, the singing af James Bradley and the celebrated Hustler male quartette. Judged by the standard of an entertainment, "The Hustler"/fills the bill in heaped and rounded measure.

BALDWIN-MELVItiljE COMPANY.

On Monday, Nov. 21st, for five nights and matinee, the charmiug Pearl Melville will commence at Naylor's opera bouse, supported by Baldwin-Melville combination under the personal management of Walter S. Baldwin. This season has been most successful in spite of the presidential campaign. The enconiums so justly bestowed upon them by the press and public prove the hold Miss Melvilleand her excellent company have on the public. Monday night "Queen's Evidence." Popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents. Grand Thanksgiving matinee Thursday. Ladles' tickets for Monday night admitting lady free to reserved seat when accompanied by one paid 30 cent ticket. Change of bill nightly.

ZEB, THE CLODHOPPER.

On next Saturday evening, Nov. 20th, Sam M. Young's highly successful comedy, "Zeb, the Clodhopper," will be presented at Naylor's opera house. Our theater goers .will most likely take great interest in giving Mr. Young's company a hearty reception. Like everything undertaken heretofore in the theatrical business by genial iSam, it has proven to be a big winner. The company is com

posed

of a number of well known people, including Mr. George Mahare of this city. Seats for this engagement will be placed on sale Thursday morning, November 24th. ,,

v'^. THE WABASH MINSTRELS.

The Wabash Club never does anything by halves, and in connection with a min strel performance its name is a sufficient guarantee of success. Last season it gave two performances before the largest audiences which ever assembled in the opera house, and that those performances were eminently successful will be cheerfully testified to by all who had the pleasure of witnessing them. They were away beyond the expectation of those who went to see an amateur performance, and judged by any standard of excellence were fully equal to those of first class professional companies. The young gentlemen who participated last year are making preparations to eclipse all previous efforts in their entertainment at the opera house on Tuesday eyening, December 13th. In addition to the old members they have added a number of new attractions, and several new faces will be seen. The performance will be entirely different from anything which has been presented here, and will be new and original throughout. A new after-piece, entitled "Asa's Attic," from the pen of Will Hamilton, will be presented. Auother important feature will be the "Wabash Roarers," an aggre gation of musicians which will successfully rival the famous band of Blue Jeans..

RONKY CONCKBT COMPANY,

The Roney Concert Co.,of Chicago, will give the people of this city, on Monday evening, at the Congregational church, one of the most charming and fascinating concerts ever given in the city and one that will bo an inspiration to young and old. One can form no conception of the wonderful musical talents and attainments of the children of this company without hearing them. Little Charlie Davison (soprano) and Henry Brierley (contralto) are the leading boy singers in the famous Grace Episcopal church choir. "Master Ernest Wagner's playing of the flute," says the Chicago Herald, "has caused unbounded enthu biasm in private musical circles and who is said to have no equal of his age." Admission 50c, children 25c.

Alex. Crawford will appear as middle-man in the Wabash Club Minstrels.
