Lyons, Loral Forecast Official. » It is already spoken of as the "re cent depression in business." If the senators would pay more def erence to public opinion anil less atten tion to senatorial courtesy, they would serve the country better than they are now doing. ■ Mb. Gladstone, it is said, is prepar ing a surprise for the house of lords. The only surprise they need is to wake .-_ up some fine morning and find them selves out of a job— deprived of legisla tive power. mm Senator Peffkb has parted with a "portion of his whiskers. Now, if he could part with somo of his hair brained theories on finance, he might develop into a vory creditable senator— as Kansas senators go. Pr^l If business is reviving and industry looking up, it is in .spite, not because, of the senate's delay in passing the silver repeal bill. Nothing is now lacking to insure the complete restoration of pub lic confidence but the speedy concur rence of the senate in the action of the house. <t» The Albany Journal declares that "to kill repeal will save the tariff," and urges the Republican senators to vote against the silver repeal bill. This 'illustrates the patriotism of the partisan Republican press. In order to save one monstrous system of injustice they would fasten upon the country another, almost equally as bad, and which they acknowledge to be pernicious. ..p. There seems, unhappily, to be no doubt of the existence of yellow fever in Georgia. A number of cases have al ready developed, and there is great dan ger that the disease will spread to the surrounding cities. The season is so far advanced, however, that there need be no apprehension thai the fever will prove as ratal as in some previous years, and with proper sanitary precau tions it may be robbed of many of its terrors. Senator Allison is an optimist as to silver. Ik looks for the day to come when silver and gold shall be on a parity, and this in the face of the utter and ignominious failure of the Brussels conference, to which he was a commis sioner, and the systematic demonetiza tion of silver by all the European gov ernments, whose consent was asked to an international agreement in its favor. Senator Allison's faith is of that sort which may be made potent in sending the mountain ranges cavorting about the universe. There are a good many "soonars" in the Cherokee strip, just opened to set tlement, but those of them who arc al ready agitating the admission of the territory into the Union are altogether '•too soon." The peculation at the present moment may be, as they claim, sufficient to entitle the territory to ad mission, but who can say how many will remain live years hence? The ex perience with Nevada, admitted during the boom, and which now has a popula tion no greater than one of the wards of St. Paul, should inculcate the lesson that it is sometimes best to make haste slowly. The occurrence at the Free .Methodist camp meeting at Shullsburg, Wis., chronicled in the Globe of yesterday, is I worthy of a place in mediaeval literature. home of those in attendance conceived the idea that two of the preachers on the grounds were possessed of the devil, mid they proceeded to exorcise the evil me by pounding the preachers nearly to death. It is very evident that some missionary work is needed in the lead mines of the Badger state, and our good brethren of the churches should see to it that enlightenment may be spread in that vicinity, fore, missionary effort is focused on the jungles of the Congo. — •- I No doubt thousands of families will find comfortable homes in the Cherokee strip, just opened to settlement, but the majority of those who have flocked, thereat this time have only privation and suffering before them. Few have ibe means of subsistence for a i— period, and before a crop can be bar-. 1 vested from the farms just entered famine will stare them in the face. Undoubtedly there will be an appeal to the public for help before the winter is over, and even though these people are the victims of their own folly the ap peal will meet with a liberal response But the giving would be more cheerful jf the recipients were more worthy. -«- — ■ — STICK A PIN RIO, i; v r Fred Wright, mayor of St. Paul, is the" head of the wholesale stationery house of Wright, Barrett & Stilwell. ; Stick a pin there.

Stick a pin there. On the llth of September bids invited by the city clerk for stationery for the city for six months were opened, aud the contract, amounting to 5G17.10, was awarded to Mr. Maybell. • V Stick a pin there. On the 12th of September, in re sponse to the readvertisement of pro posals for school supplies, bids were again opened. The mayor's organ, the Pioneer Press, thus reports what oc curred and places in quotation marks the words of the mayor as follows: Before any of the bids had been opened Mayor Wright turned to the other two mem bers of the purchasing committee and said: '•1 desire to state to the committee that It. J. Maybell recently put in a bid for the cup plies for the city, ana his bid being the low est, tlie contract was awarded him.' At that time a question wits raised by one of the bidders that, in view- of the tact that Mr. Mayhell was an employe of the firm of Wright, Barrett & Stilwell. it was im proper tor him to bid to furnish anything for the city. The corporation attorney did not consider the objection well founded, so Mr. May bell's bid was allowed to bland. Thinking possibly this view might he taken by some member* of the committee with ref erence to school supplies, I sent tor City Treasurer Miller, and, after stating the case to him, he gave it as bis opinion that al though Mr. Maybell might be bidding for himself and give proper bond, the fact that be was employed by Wright, Barrett & stil well should bar him from placing any bid for school supplies. Ido not agree with Mr. Miller, and the corporation attorney ls quite positive in his opinion that Mr. Maybell is not disqualified to bid merely because he is an employe of Wright, Barrett & Stilwell. "But Mr. Hiller'fifßtatement convinces me there is a feeling of this kind, and rather then have any question raised 1 have re quested Mr. Maybell to refrain from bidding an the school supplies, and he hits consented to do so." Stick several pins there. Is it not peculiar that Mr. Maybell, while acting as salesman for the may or's house, was so anxious to engage in some business for himself that he se cured a stationery contract for §017.10, while merely at the mayor's request he cheerfully threw over his shoulder an opportunity to secure a contract amount ing to several thousand dollars. Stick a pin there. if the mayor can thus hypnotize Mr. Maybell. how will the poor fellow ever be able to build up a business in city supplies, on the side, for himself. Stick a pin there. In brief stick a pin almost anywhere. m* SENATOR VOOKtiIOES' TIMID ITY- . Senator Voorhees is an able and an honest man— a man who wins admira tion and respect— he is not fitted for a leader of the senate in times like the present. He is too timid. He ap pears to lack the courage of his convic tions. He is anxious to avoid giving offense. His' whole career bears evi dence to the fact that he would rather suffer wrong himself than seem to in flict an injury or injustice, upon others. lie would have made a poor soldier, for he revolts at the sight of suffering. He makes a poor leader for a party of ag gression, because he is too fearful of perpetrating a wrong, and jeopardize his own cause in order to give his oppo nents no excuse to claim that he has been deficient in fairness or considera tion for their feelings. A leader of a political party, like the leader of an army, must be judicious, but at the same time bold, fearless, and, if necessary, cruel and arbitrary. It is not uecessary that he should disregard any of the amenities of debate or use the power he wields to oppress the op position, lt is not necessary that he should be dictatorial in his own camp; but he should be firm and unyielding in his discipline, holdiug the reins of con trol with an iron hand, and permit of no straggling or wavering along the line of battle. Leadership implies a measure of despotism, and circum stances alone can determine to what ex tent it may be necessary to exercise the power of coercion. No battle was ever won in war, iv diplomacy or in state craft without the exercise of despotic power, lt need not be obnoxious in its manifestation; it need not assume a dictatorial front, but it must be exer cised in some form, and, when the emergency arises, it must be as un yielding as adamant, as implacable as fate. In his conduct of the discussion on the silver question Senator Voorhees has shown many signs of timidity. It does not arise from his cowardice, for he has demonstrated his courage and ability to contend against overpowering odds too frequent!} to admit of such an accusa tion. His disposition is too kindly, too tolerant, too merciful. He fails to dis cern that kindliness may sometimes be mistakenly bestowed. The pending controversy may serve as an illustra tion. Ho gave the advocates every ad vantage of the situation. Twice he has set a time for the close of the debate, and each time has extended it to satisfy the demands of the silverttes, who, being given an inch, have taken an ell, and many of them. They have frittered away the time of the senate in bom bastic declamation; they have wearied the couutry with platitudinous oratory : they have pleaded and threatened, lied aud misrepresented, traversed the rocky road of fact and invaded the realm of romance with the sole purpose of con- i suming the time of the senate and de laying the consummation of legislation demanded, by the vast majority of the people and decreed by their nearest representatives. Amid ail this Mr. Voorhees has been suave and tolerant to the verge of cowardice. Perhaps he has thought to kill the opposition by kindness. He should understand by this time that it cauuot be done. Mr. Voorhees must change his plan. He must parley no longer, but use the weapons with which the law and the rules of the senate have clothed him to bring the pending question to an issue. The country will brook no further delay. An early vole is demanded, and Mr. Voorhees must secure it or surrender his leadership. _ The prospect of a war in Europe, dire though its consequences may be to the nations embroiled, will be a blessing to the farmers of the Northwest The prices of farm products were. never as law ak the/ are at tbe present time, and i ■' " rr- ■ • : . -:-.: THE SAINT PAUL DAILY;.

So, if our foreign brethren are bound to fight they must expect to pay, and we of the Northwest, furnish ing the sinews of war, will collect the pay. . ;P, - '. ■ ..-■ . T/&IV. LAVING THE AX TO THE ROOT. "Larry" Neai. has not lost a whit of the courage of his convictions since that June morning when he came out of the platform committee's room and poured into Tom Jounson's ear his disgust for ths tariff plank which Mr. Whitney, timid and intimidated by the interests he deemed needed for success, had per suaded the committee to- adopt. He is just as earnest and direct as when he shot into that convention his minority report which he and Tom had drawn, and which the great convention hun grily grasped at and adopted. He challenges Mr. McKinley to joiut debate, but that doughty knight of pro tection declines and stands afar off and wants to know what kind of a bill-Mr. Neal would frame, lie "applies the wisdom he learned in that joiut debate with Cami'bell two years ago at Ak ron, and has no stomach lor a repeti tion. When Mr. Neal tells them that he would have a bill framed on lines of inquiry as to how large a revenue the smallest tax on each article would afford, and that nowhere should the question be how much protection will this afford, to any oue unabla ■ to grasp principles and only able to calculate the details of plunder, -lie organs, big and little, cry out that Mr. Neat, is dodgt ng Mr. McKixley's challenge. But then they must say something. Mr. Neal declares that the ax must be laid to the root of the evil. Mr. Neal has the ax, and knows how to wield it, and knows where the root is and does not hesitate to sink his ax in it. He does not mince matters. He has no use for soothing syrup. He does not say, as some cowardly Democrats are saying, that protection is good in limited doses and only bad when administered' by McKinley allopathists. He does not even bow his head In worship of that ab surd and solemn old fetich, a revenue tariff. He launches his blows straight from the shoulder at the whole iniqui tous system. He tells his hearers that any tariff system, whether for protec tion or for revenue, is" a tax laid on what men eat and wear and use; what they must have in order to exist; and that under either of them not one dollar of all the enormous wealth of this coun try, not a rood of land, not a dollar of personal property of any kind, pays one cent towards supporting the federal, government. Not one dollar of all the wealth of this country, save those earned by the consumers of the coun ry, is diminished to its owner one cant by any exaction of the tax-gatherers of the nation. This is the gospel Frank Hied has preached from the hustings of Ohio for years, and for the preaching ot which Democrats once joined with Republic ans to ostracise him politically. But the seed he sowed has sprouted. Tom Johnson preached it in his congres sional district, embracing the manufact uring districts of Cleveland, and his people Have twice sent him to congress. Hariris, the manufacturer of farm im plements, preached it, and he is in his second congressional term. ... Gerry manders could not stifle the opinions of the electors. . Ohio Democrats no longer placate protectionists in their platforms. They have learned that again is an irre pressible conflict on between two princi ples so antagonistic that compromise Is impossible, and that one or the other must wholly triumph. Seeing it. tbey have the courage to proclaim it and in vite the contest. TIRED MR. MKDUINGHAUS. Mr. Niedringhaus, who is one of the proprietors of the St. Louis Stamping company, which is engaged in produc ing stamped ware and, incidentally under the McKinley bonus, tin plate, told a reporter of a morning paper re cently that sundry and odd things Which he specifies "makes me tired." This merely illustrates how the law of com pensation finds out and punishes men, for Mr. Niedringhaus made his Repub lican associates in the Fifty-first con gress very tired indeed when he told them that if they put a tax on borax, which his firm used extensively, he would bolt the McKinley bill. It Is supposed ho was placated by the pros pective profits in making tin plate held out by the bill; anyway he didn't bolt. As a study in the capacity of men to resist and endure strain, whether phys ical or mental, Mr. Niedringhans' state ment of what it is that makes him tired is inviting, lt exhausts him when "free trade cranks tell me to my face that we are not making a pound of tin plate in the United States." Waiving tho doubt which oppresses us as to whether any free trade or other crank told him any such a thing, Mr. Niedringhaus might produce a much more satisfactory proof than the little piece of tin plate with his manager's sworn statement that it was made in his factory. This present Dem ocratic administration publishes iv its treasury report for August the fact that the St. Louis Stamping company, with a capital of $400,000, advised the depart ment that it expected to make 23.000,000 pounds ot tin plate this year, but that if in the remaining three-quarters of the year it should make three and a hall times as much as it made in the first quarter, it would put out 7,590,000 pounds. It goes farther and informs the public that this company uses Amer ican black sheets in making its tin plate. Another thing that wearies Mr. Niedringhaus is the idea that the tax of 2.;.' cents a pound on imported tin plate, and of four cents a pound on block tin should make the workingnian's dinner pail dearer. . That is vory wearisome when every one knows that the whole aim and purpose of Mr. McKinley and of Mr. Niedringhaus was, and is, to make the workiugman's dinner pail cheaper. There were some captious free trade cranks who did cavil at the method adopted ; impracticable fellows who did not believe there was a bit of wisdom or common seuse In the old saw that "the nearest way home is the longest way round," or that the way to make a thing cheap was to increase the cost of the thine from which it was made. If Mr. Niedringhaus is not too tired we hope the next time he comes this way he will tell us how much dearer or cheaper IC tin plate, with one or two or three Xs attached, is now than It was when pig tin was free, and tin plate paid an impost of 1.1 cents a pound. And, as we understand that he is playing with a farm somewhere out on the prairies, we wish, as a side light, he would also show how he can make wheat cheaper by increasing the cost of producing it; that is if he is not too tired. : 7£bßsß&£3& Another thing that tires Mr. Nied ringhaus is that free traders should say, "We are doing wrong by putting Amer ican workingmen to work on American tin plate," aud his efforts to understand how any one "can say that it is not right that tin plate should be made in America," weary him. If anybody ever did say that, without qualification, which we very much doubt, we do not wonder that it tired the gentleman. - If, how ever, Hee tud»» or- any- one &U9 «&14 that it was radically and viciously wrong to make the consumers of- tin ware pay any increase" in the cost of what they: bought in - order that Mr. Niedringhaus might employ imported 4Velsh or native American workingmen to make tin plate in America, ' then* we are free to admit that, if this made that gentleman tired, his sense of fair ptay„ ; of equal rights and even of nidi mental honesty should never be put to auy test)' whatever; they are too fragile to stand it. i j m If Mr. Niedringhaus is not too much fatigued, we commend to his considera tion these temperate words of President Cleveland: "Invoking tbe love of fair ness and justice which belongs to-. true" Americanism (read it with the em-" phasis on 'true,' Mr. N.) and. upW; which our constitution rests, we insist that no plan or tariff legislation shall, be tolerated which has for its object and purpose a forced contribution from' the income and earnings of the mass of our citizens to swell directly the ac cumulation of a favored, few; nor will we permit a pretended solicitude for American labor, or auy other specious pretext of benevolent care for others, to blind the eyes of the people to the selfish schemes of those who . seek, through the ad of unequal tariff laws. to gain unearned and unreasonable ad vantages at the expense of their fel lows." "■"•■ — ; :- v : -' PRANK, BUT INDISCREET. : ' Once in a while the sub-conscious self of the Chicago Tribune revolts against the conscious self which obliges the ex pression of thought not based on truth or conviction, and compels the utter ance of heretical opinions, measured by the standard of Republican orthodoxy. Just now, when the serious question of whether McKinley shall be the party's nominee for the presidency in ''J6 is involved in his candidacy for the gov ernorship of Ohio, and when he is pro claiming the virtues and curative quali ties ot his notorious remedy; when party loyalty demands that the voico of truth be hushed, the Tribune gives the very little Napoleon this vicious stab in a comment it makes on that queer dis closure of Seuator Jones that the Mc- Kinley bill was passed in the senate by a trade with the free silver senators: In the light of subsequent events it is much to be regretted that the two bills did not. like the Kilkenny cats, eat one another up. Oneof those laws bred a panic which has made the country stagger. The other law was the main cause of the cyclonic Republican defeats ,in 1800 and 1892. It is very evident that Mr. Gladstone has the Irish party in the British com mons well iv hand. No word was spoken by any of its members on the passage of the estimates for Ireland Saturday, al though the opposition sought to provoke" a debate. Their conduct on this occa sion argues well for the future. They will present a solid front when the home rule question again comes before them, which will be at no distant day. mm If it is to be a test of physical endur ance in the senate, as some affect to be lieve, the Democrats have decidedly the best of it. The Republicans are handi capped with age and many infirmities, and will soon have to succumb to death, if not to exhaustion. SUBIMKR.

Iloyfs, "A Texas Steer," is classedas the best of that play writer's produc tion, and it is one of the best comedies on the road. The company presenting it last night at the Metropolitan opera house has the merit of being capable of bringing out all that the lines aud situa tions import. It requires over a dozen good characters to develop the parts of the play.'and it may be said to the credit of the management that good actors are placed in all the prominent parts. The audience last night was pleased, and gave testimony of approval in repeated recalls, especially for the first act. Tim Murphy as Maverick Brauder.the Texas cattle king and member of con gress, is as unique as ever and pre- . serves his reputation for creating a character that is his own peculiarity and is irresistible in humor-provoking hits. Most of the other members of the company are the same as those seen in the play when here before. The role of Bossy. Brander's pet, ls now taken by Miss Alice Evans, who was chosen for the part after the death of Mrs. Hoyt. Miss Evans is attractive and is well suited for the part. She has been seen in others of Hoyt's plays, but in none of them has she shown to better ad vantage than iv this. The part of Brassy Gall, a member of the "Third House," was taken by Newton Chisnell, who made so good an impression in the part two years ago. The place was! filled by another gentleman last year,' j but it is a satisfaction to theater goers', to see Mr. Chisnell back in the place. The encores prolonged the perlormance last night, but no one seemed to regret' the time taken. The same bill will con-* tinue during the week. -»t+ "A Crazy ratcb," dramatically con sidered, would not make a patch on a] coherent effort at play writing. But re viewed merely from the standpoint of providing an evening's run it is a piece! of patchwork thatxsan readily he toler ated. There is little or no plot, out there are several clever people taking [ part, notably Miss Kittle Mitchell, W. H. Murphy and Charles J. Hagan. All three won repeated encores, and Miss: Mitchell's grace and "chic" were decid edly pleasing. Same bill all week, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. How to Become a Mail Carrier.

Will he be allowed to serve the United States government in the capacity of mail carrier before he gets his last" pa pers? Yes. What steps must he take in order to become a mail carrier?

It is hard to realize that Queen Esther, the last of the Gypsy • queens, died at Yetholm ten years ago, since which time Scotland "■ has ceased to be the realm ot the Gypsies, and the -strange bands of wanderers have made way to the advancements of the Anglo- Saxon; ' Even many of the old castles have fallen before the practical spirit of the times. Yesterday D. F. Wishart 'Jr., who was born and raised in Edin burgh, and whose ancestors fought with {Wallace and Bruce to defend Scotland, was at the Ryan. His father and self are heavy iron merchants of the great edu cational center of Scotland, and he has come all the way over here to secure a bride from the Bad Lands of North Da kota. The Scotch lassie whom he mar-" ried a few days ago was the sweetheart of his boyhood, and came, with her parents to the Bad Lands ten years ago, where her father has a large and suc cessful horse ranch. The ranch is about forty miles from Medora, the whilom beet dressing home of the Marquis de Mores. - Mr. Wishart arrived in the city yesterday morning with his bride, and will leave for ' the . world's fair today. After a week or two at Jackson park the two will go to their home in Scotland. They are an unassuming, but educated and accomplished- pair.' "You know," said Mr. Wishart when approached, "that we Scotch people dislike to mate a display of ourselves in print. I can think of very little of iuterest to say. Pernaps it would be in placebo say that the depression in America is quite keenly felt in Scotland, in fact in all of Great Britain, and we greatly hope that you may have better times soon. The Scotland of today is not' tne Scotland of Walter Scott's time; yet there many or the old landmarks, which he surrounded with so much romance, still standing. Edinburgh has now a population of 250,000, and Leith, on the Frith of Forth, which is practically a part of Edinburgh, has 50,000 people. Glasgow has something over 800.000 peo ple, and is the second city in Great Britain. It is a great manufacturing city, and many of its rich manufactur ers retire and come to Edinburgh to live; for this is the city of Homes, and a very dear city it is to all born and bred Scotchmen. I would not leave it for all the world. The memory of Scott is preserved in a beautiful monument standing upon one of the squares. I cannot pretend to describe Euinburgh; it must be seen to be appreciated. 1 have enjoyed very much mv slay of four, weeks in America, aud shall go home with many pleasant recollections, lt is a wonderful country, everybody who sees It must admit."

PEOPLE LEAVING THE CHEROKEE STRIP BY THOUSANDS. THEIR Bib DISAPPOINTMENT 1 Was Too, Much to Bear, So They j Skipped Back to Civilization— There Was lack of Food and Water and a Plethora of Heat. i Hot Wind and Incidents i of the Race. Arkansas City, Kan., Sept. 17.— ' Thousands of people who yesterday | made so great an effort to get into the Cherokee strip were making equally, strenuous, efforts, to get out today. Even : as soou after the rush as yester- [j day evening hundreds of people came out of the strip ; and took up quarters here. Some .failed in the great race to get claims, and others, after having lo cated claims, relinquished them rather than endure the discomforts and hard ships of a frontier life in a desolate country such as the strip vow is. To day the return move became an exodus, and tonight the city is as badly crowded as it was the night before the race. Many are departing by trains, but others, being too poor to buy even railroad tickets, are., stranded here. What to do with this latter class will be a ques tion to be decided by the city authori ties. All those returning tell the same story of the lack of water and scarcity of food, but of an oversupply of heat, hot wind and dust. There are many stories of crime and casualties, but, all being strangers to one another, names are missing. The crimes are mostly isolated murders which took place yes terday iv the fight for claims. Fatal accidents are reported as the result of yesterday's rush— men trampled to death by horses or killed by falling from the overcrowded excursion trains. Orlando, O. T., Sept 17.—Thou sands of people who left their homes in Oklahoma to seek new homes in the Cherokee strip are returning.

They have been coming in all day from the strip. Some failed to get lots and some failed to get farms, while others found that the land was not what they believed it to be.

Some cannot stay because they got no claims :nd others will not stay because they prefer to leave. ■;- -z 77- THK WORLD'S RELIGIONS. Two Sessions of tbe Parliament Held Yesterday. Chicago, Sept. 17.— The doors of the Hall of Columbus were thrown open for sessions of the great parliament of the world's religions twice today. The meetings were held afternoon and even ing, and on each occasion there was a large audience present to listen to the words of wisdom and instruction that fell trom the lips of able speakers. In general cnaracter tho Sunday pro gramme did not differ from that of any other day, there being no* attempt at . elaboration or special demonstra tion in connection with the ex ercises. Perhaps it was not deemed wise in view of the cosmopolitan character of the parliament to make more of the Christian rest day than of the days called secular by Christendom. The "Universal Prayer," with whicii the parliament was opened in the after noon, and a series of addresses by dis tinguished speakers constituted the exercises. There was less beard con cerning the Oriental faiths thau usual, but that fact is not significant. B. B. Nagarka was the only wise man from the East who took part in the exercises, lie gave an extremely interesting ad dress on social reform In India, tracing with discriminating mind the advance that lias been mane since India came under the rule of the British. "The Divine Element in the Weekly- Rest Day" was the subject of an ad dress of much interest by Rev. Dr. A. R. Lewis, of this city. Prof. Martin J. Wade, of the University of lowa, spoke on "The Catholic Church and the Mar riage Bond," and Rev. Annie F. East man, iv a bright and interesting essay, told of the "Influence of Religion on Women." In the evening Rev. Dr. Mtiny, of Syracuse, read a paper on "The Religious Training of Children," prepared by Brother Azarias a short time before his death, Rev. Dr. Dike spoke on "The Christian View of Mar riage," and there were other addresses on equally important and timely topics. Cholera in Finistcre. Paeis, Sept.
