LET THE PEOPLE RULE.
Witch IL What the Donnelly-Appleton-
Merrill Ring DON'T Want.

Merritt Ring DO,st Want.
Window Reporter.]
The supplementary bill to the Merrill law
provides in section 8 that Mr.. Merrill shall
have the right to accept or reject this sup
Elementary amendment, but the friends of
the bill refuse to grant the people the same
right. We can see no harm to the public
interest to accrue by allowing the people to
accept or reject the Merrill books, but it is
decidedly disadvantageous to Merrill's in
| terest, for the people won't use the books if
they can avoid it, and it seems to be point
of the Legislature to force upon the people
a thing they do not want. Why
| are Merrill's friends afraid to give the peo-
pie chance to accept or reject their books
| if thy are as cheap and in every way as
good ~ other books, and the theory of the
law is in the public interest, as Merrill's CO.
operators assert? If all that is claimed in
the interest of Merrill's law is in the interest
of the people of Minnesota, they will take
his books in spite of law or other publishing
houses. But the Minnesota Legislature can.
not compel the people to support gigantic
fraud, which we believe the Merrill law to be
from its inception to it's birth, and
though in name it may be law, traded
through the Legislature by all the tricks
and devices known to the political throne
around the capitol, the people are not fools
and we do not believe they will submit tc
this arbitrary and despotic abridgment Of
their natural rights by the men elected tc
represent them in their legislative halls
Why not let the people have choice in thi.
matter? If they want the books let then
say SO by vote in each district, as was pro
posed in the House the other day. If the,
accept the law, let them have it. If they
don't want it let them do without it
Clearly the whole job is in the interes
of D. d. Merrill and the Appleton's mem
bers of the old school book monopoly unit
it dissolved, who now seek to legalize
monopoly and draw funds raised by taxation
of the masses to conduct their monopol
with. Down with monopoly, and we hop
the Legislature will not commit such foil
as to bind six hundred thousand people dow
to the infamous shrine of the Merrill Law
and extort from them taxes to maintain
despotism sanctioned by law. The peopl
will revolt if they are thus bound.

[Winona Republican,

The advocates of the Merrill book scheme
in the Legislature are afraid to trust the peo-
pie. An amendment to the supplementary
bill which has now passed both houses pro-
vides that the people of any county may re-
ject the books when three-f ourths of them
vote to do so. This has generally been
thought to be government of the majority,
but the Merrill schemers evidently dissent
from that old fashioned opinion. It's prac-
teal working might cut them off from access
to the State treasury.

CORONER STEIN.

Burial of Donohue.
Yesterday Coroner Stein applied to the Judge
of Probate for instructions in the matter of
the effects of the late Matthias Donohue who
was accldently killed last week The Judge in
formed the coroner that he had appointed An
administrator to receive the estate. Nj Stein
wished the judge to look over his statement of

do with the matter; the coroner must arrange
with the appointed administrator, whereupon
the coroner withdrew.

The McGarrahan Claim Renewed in
Congress.

From the time when the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary, says
a Washington correspondent, Billy Nc
Garrahan, the famous claimant to the
New Idria quicksilver mine OF Califor-
MIA, has walked the streets Of Washing
ton and haunted the Hobbies and ante
chambers of Government officials. He
is genlal-faced Irishman, who in his
long years of fighting has never lost his
cheerfulnesS or sanguine hope of get
ting share of the millions that he al
leges have been swindled away from him.
The dispute involved is one of title. and
has occupied lawyers and courts after the
lnterminable fashion of an English
chancery case. McGarrahan long ago
pass ed into the hands of the Jews. He
has been farmed out as a stock article.
and ambitious spectators have advanced
handsome sums upon McGarrahan's
shares, until McGarrahan has become
regular quoted stock in private specu-
lative circles. Recently this stock had a
great tumble BY a decision of the Su-
preme Court against McGarrahan's
claims Every one thought that was the
last of McGarrahan, but he comes up
smiling after his knock down, and dis
closes another mode of attack upon the
New Idria millions. This is a flank
movement in Congress. The matter

Revising the Tariff,

The new Tariff bill, as perfected by
the sub committee Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, has been fur
nished to the press. Many of its de-
tails are unimportant, and all of them
are as dry as the multiplication table.
A dispatch from Washington to the AS
ISOLATED Press, after giving the nature
of the bill in detail, adds, in regard to
its leading character, as compared with
the existing tariff:
The general principles ON which the bill is
based are reduction and simpIiication, and with
our foreign trade. The schedules and CLASH
fications of the present tariff are followed. A
slight reduction il made, averaging about 90
per cent. of the present rates in the entire list
though il wines, brandies and cigars, and
other articles of like character there is re-
duction. There are no compound duties, rates
being either specific or ad valorem. There is
no free list. Every article that is not dutiable
is admitted free without specification OF
enumeration. The present number of articles
in the Tariff law is reduced to about 500, all
told, in this bill. All changes have been made
from ad valorem to specific duties wherever
practicable. 1t is claimed that this bill VIII re-
duce the cost of collection from ST $50, 60 to
less than So, 0G0.0 900. The bill proposes to
raise $154, GAG 900, estimated by treasury ex-
perts upon the average of imports for the past
six years. Only $138, 000 900 were collected
last year. The publication of the bill at this
time is with view of eliciting expressions Of
public opi;2ion before final action.
