Sowing the Wind.
It is to be hoped that our amusement
patrons will realize in advance the very
great opportunity they have of' seeing
one of the most widely- discussed and
cesses of the present generation. That
the merits of “Sowing the Wind” will
be much dilated upon after it leaves
here, there is no doubt, for it has been
so every where else. ‘ Then we will be
able to realize the significance of the
warning by so great anewspaper as the
Boston Transcript that “he who fails
to see it does himself an unpardonable
injury.” It comes to Hoyt’s to-night.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. l ,
_.___ i ‘
Interesting AddresSes at the liIassachu-l
setts Reform Club’s Meeting.
Boston, March 27.—“The Present Cri-
sis in Civil Service Reform” was the
subject of four unusually interesting
addresses at a dinner of the Massachu-
setts Reform club. The speakers were
Marriott Brosius, member of congress
from Pennsylvania. and chairman of the
house committee on civil service reform;
Lucius B. Swift of Indianapolis, Edward
M. Shepard of Brooklyn and Charles J.
Bonaparte of Baltimore.
Representative Brosius devoted the
greater part of his address to the recent
attacks upon civil service reform in
congress. “The subject,” he began, “no
doubt refers to the quadrennial agita-
tion, particularly after there has been a.
change in administration.” There was,
however, no crisis in this work of re-
form. he said. He paid a. tribute to
President McKinley, who, he said,
“stands like a stone wall to turn back
the flood of office seekers and patronage
purveyors who swarm about the White
House today.”
Lucius B. Swift of Indianapolis, the
next speaker. arraigned President Mc-
Kinley for “appointing men to impor-
tant positions unfit to represent the peo-
ple of the United States.” The appoint-
ment of err-Chairman Gowdy of the In-
diana Republican state committee as
consul general at Paris, his choice of a.
minister to Mexico and several appoint-
ments in Indiana were criticised at con-
siderable length.
Edward M. Shepard of Brooklyn de—
voted his address principally to the his
tory of civil service reform legislation
in New York and the opposition to it
at the present time. He incidentally
referred to United States Senators
Platt and Murphy. and asked: “Do
those men represent the state of New
York? Not at all " He added: “I do
not disparage either of those men, but I
should be stung to the very quick if I
thought they represented New York.
They represent the development in
American politics which we derive from.
the spoils system." He then devoted his
attention to the United States senate as
a. body, declaring that. it was held in
contempt and did not represent this
country.
The last speaker was Charles J.
Bonaparte of Baltimore. During his
spirited address he also scored past
and present administrations at Wash-
ington for ignoring civil service reform
principles.
ARBITRATOR 0N ARBITRATION.
William R. Creiner Against Acceptance
by England of the Amendments.
London, March 27.—An interview is
published here with William R. Cremer,
formerly member of parliament for the
Haggerston division of Shoreditch, Rad—
ical, who has for several years been sec-
retary of the International Arbitration
league, and who is editor of the society’s
organ, The Arbitrator. Mr. Cremer is
quoted as saying that he considers it in-
advisable to ratify the amended arbi—
tration treaty. He says that the British
government will almost certainly refuse
to accept the treaty in its emasculated
form and asserts that there is good rea-
son to hope that in a few months it will
be carried as originally proposed. He
says he will be greatly surprised if the
Americans do not make their voices
heard in such a. way as to induce the
senatetto alter its position before next
session. He adds:
“There is no doubt Senator Morgan is
the chief obstacle. When in Washing-
ton, I had a. long talk with President
Cleveland relative to.,arbitration, and
Mr. Cleveland suggested sounding the
senate. I saw Senator Morgan, who
eilrpressed warm approval of the princi—
p e. .
" ‘Tell the president,’ he said, ‘that if
he sends a treaty to us I will get it
through the committee in 48 hours.’
“I repeated this to Mr. Cleveland, and
.judge of my surprise when I' landed in
Liverpool to read Senator Morgan" 5 vio-
lent attack upon England. ”

WHOSE FAIILT IS IT.
A Local Occurrence that
will Interest Many
Readers.
If when a foghorn warns the mariner
to shear off the coast, he still hurs the
shore and wrecks upon it, w 11 se fault is
it. ? If the ied switch light is up and the
engine driVer deliberately pulls ahead
and pitches into another train, blame
the driver. If a careless workman will,
in spite of warnings, try to find out how
many teeth a buzz saw has, and the saw
tries to find out how many fingers the
workman has, blame the workman—not-
the saw. If a sick man knows that a
certain medicine is doing him good, and
he carelessly neglects to use it, blame
the man not the medicine. If Norwalk
people who nave kidney complaint and
backache will not take Doanc’ s Kidney
Pills, when they are endorsed by scores
of citizens, blame the people, not the
endorsers.
Mrs. Joseph \Vhitley of 61 Belden
avenue, says “I was reading the papers
one evening, and came across an adver-
ti sement 0t Doaue’ s Kidney Pills, at the
ti me I was annoyed with a pain in the
small of my back and was thinking of
trying some preparation to see if I could
get relief. Doane‘ s Kidney Pills seemed
to me to be above the average judging
from the cures they had made and I got
a box at. Hale’ 5 drug store and took them.
They produced decided and satisfactory
results. I recommend them to my
friends.”
