THE TARIFF COMMISSION BILL.

The following is the full text of the bill:
To provide for the appointment of a COM
mission to investigate the question of the
tariff.
Be it enacted, &C., That a commission is
hereby created, to be called the Tariff Com
MISSION" to consist of nine members.
Sec 2. That the President of the United
States shall, by and with the advice and con-
sent OF the Senate, appoint nine commission
ers from civil life, one of whom, the first
named, shall be president of the commission.
The commissioners shall receive as compen-
sation for their services each at the rate of
$Io per day when engaged in active duty,
and actual travelling and other necessary eX-
penses. The commission shall have power
to employ stenograPher and a messenger,
and the foregoing compensation and ex-
penses to be audited and paid by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury out of any moneys in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated.
Sec. 3. That it shall be thu duty Of sal d
commission to take into consideration and to
thoroughly investigate all the various questions
relating to the agricultural, commercial, mer-
camille, manufacturing, mining and industrial
interests of the United States, SO far as the
same may be necessary to the establishment
of judicious tariff, or a revision of the ex-
isting tariff upon a scale of justice to all in
tereSts, and for the purpose of fully examining
the matters which may come before it; said
commission, in the prosecution Of its inqui-
ries, is empowered TO visit such different por-
tons and sections of the country as it may
deem advisable.
Sec. q That the commission shall make
to congress final report of the results OF its
investigation, and the testimony taken in the
course of the sam not later than the first
Monday in December, 1882; and it shall
cause the testimony taken to be printed from
time to time, and distributed to members of
congress by the public printer, and shall also
cause to be printed for the use of congress two
with the testimony.
Now, this was the bill that the congress Of
the United States talked over over for weeks
and upon which the democratic party went to
the country as free trade party. The demo-
Gratis claimed that the bill was simply for delay
and that such commission was useless.
We think the bill:eminently wise, it amounts
to a republican revision of the tariff and it will
not be made on the plan of "tarif for revenue
only" but on the plan of moderate and just
protection, not to the detriment of any article
of American manufacture or production.
1t seems astonishing when we read the bill
that only one member from Texas voted for it,
Judge Epson, and he did so against his party.
The interests in the 10th district needing pro-
lection cannot be entrusted to either uncertain
or tied hands.

Cha acter of the Immigrant
Among the 734 immigrants that arrived from
Havre this morning in the France are a num-
Der of grape-growers and wine-distillers, who
are going to California. One of their number,
in conversation with your correspondent, said
at was great trial for them to leave their
own country, but that the times there were so
hard they had no alternative. Everything in
France" he went on to say, "was in very
distressed state, and the working classes now
were compelled to drink cider, as they could
no longer afford wine" The Ethiopie, from
Glasgow, brings large number of mechanics
and artisans, among them builders, carpenters,
cabnetmakers, cigarmakers, tailors, hatters,
shoemakers, painters, bricklayers, hostlers,
clockmakers and upholsterers. These last are
going to Texas. Their tickets are prepared, and
they have promises of constant employment at
satisfactory wages. The foreman said /:
Everything on the other side is just now
very slack, and that of itself is sufficient to
cause many man to quit the country. During
the past few months the London press has
been urging emigration to America, and peo-
pie who can raise the means are not slow to
follow the advice. Uphosters in London have
been earning from $3.50 to $I2. 50 per week,
but latterly employment has been so scarce
that little more than bare living has been
possible" The Ethiopia's passengers did
not bring much cash, as they numbered GAO,
and changed something like So, 500 at the
money office. This would give them an aver
age of about $2.75 each. At the Labor Blu
reau there is no end of the curious incidents.
In the course OF the morning an Englishman,
named John Brown, made his way to the en-
ployment desk and asked if they could not
get him something to do as 'book maker"
Pie explained his trade by the observation
that 81 either gives or bets odds on or against
any 'oss you like to name" The superin-
tendent informed him that Just now there was
nothing for book-makers of his class, and the
man left the garden in seemingly sad frame
OF mind.-[New York letter to Philadelphia

Minnesota Politics.

We see by our exchanges that
the Republicans of the Second con-
gressional district of Minnesota have
nominated our friend, Hon. J. b.
Wakefield, for Congress, by acclama-
ton. We believe we were the first to
publically bring Mr.. Wakefield out
for this position, which we did four
years ago, when editing the Winnie
bago Press. Circumstances did not
warrant a contest then, and we again
brought him out last year when the
new Second district was formed,
through the columns Of the Faribault
County Journal, hence a lively inter
est III the politics of that district.
That Mr.. Wakefield will be elected
is a foregone conclusion, and that he
will make a good congressman is adj
mitted on all sides. We congratulate
both Mr.. Wakefield and the people of
the district on the choice they have
made.

Saloon Keepers VS.. Merchants.

Ten Chicago business firms last
year paid $116.565.12 in personal
taxes. The personal taxes of ten sa-
loon firms amounted to only S53.72
Their license fees amounted to $500.
La these ten saloons there were ten
murders that cost the county from
$1,000 TO $4,000 each. The ten mer-
camille firms employed 5000 men,
benefited the community, raised the
value of property, and hired their own
private watchmen. The ten saloons
had forty employees, were an element
in lowering the moral tone of the com
munity, injured surrounding property
and an additional burden in requiring
city police to watch them and look
after the crime they caused. Exclu-
sive of licenses, all the liquor interest
in the city did not pay $4,000 taxes
last year, while any one of these ten
mercantile firms paid in personal taxes
more than they all.

Pennsylvania Republicans.

The Republicans of Pennsylvania
met in State convention last Wednes-
day, and Col. David Taggard was
elected chairman. In accepting the
honor Mr.. Taggart said he thought
the convention had every right to
finish its now uncompleted work. 1t
had been said that it was a Cameron
convention, but in him, Taggart, the
convention had chosen a president
that was not only for Beane for gov
ernor, but for James G. Blaine for
president
This declaration was received with
cheers, and when the other prelimi-
nary matters had been disposed of the
convention nominated Gen. VIM.
Lilly, Gen. Todd, and Galusha A.
Grow, congressman at large. There
is not much Cameronism in that
ticket.

Kendall VS., Mitchell.

It begins to look as though Mr..
Kendall would carry his county for
his Congressional candidate, Mr..
Kindred, Notwithstanding the mighty
CD influence Of the Duluth Tribune.
Mitch. thinks the Kendall central
committee has packed things" for the
county convention which is to be held
next Monday, and perhaps he has,
but we all know that this is no more
than Mitch. would have done for his
side had he an opportunity TO do so.
1t is no love for political honesty that
makes Mitch howl; it is only because
his OK is the one gored. Kindred is a
better man for Congress than any Du-
lath can furnish.

Postmaster General Howe.

AS ever Postmaster General Howe
reflects credit upon his adopted State
Encomiums seem to come from every
quarter verifying his marked ability
and sound judgement. And nothing
more than we reasonably expected.
The following is one of them:
Madison, Wis, June GA prom
inent gentleman residing in the south
ern portion of the state, who has spent
several weeks in Washington this
spring, in writing to a friend, has the
following in regard to Postmaster Gen
eral Howe: Everyone in Washing
ton regards Judge Howe as the best
Postmaster General we have ever had
the subordinate says that he under
stands the workings of the department
better than any of his predecessors
have after four years service. Presi-
dent Arthur has a very warm esteem
for him, and relies on his good judg-
ment and sagacity fully, and says he
thought he knew him before, but was
mistaken. Frank Hatton says he
loves the old man like his own father.
Senators and congressman generally
are amazed at the judges splendid
executive ability. Whatever may be
said Of President Arthur's administra-
ton it can be safely predicted that
there will not be any bad smell from
the Postofice Department, as the
judge is the head of the department,
and knows just what is going on; SO
every one here says.',-The Republi-

THE TERRIBLE CYCLONE.
Over Fifty People Killed by the Storm
ut GrinnelI and Malcolm.
AS Many More Desperately Iniured---
Scenes of Woe and DesoIation.

The cyclone season has opened with
unusual violence, and its record for
the past two or three weeks is apal-
ling. The storm of last Sunday night
was the most destructive of any vet
reported, though others are bad
enough. We gather from our ex-
changes the following brief accounts of
the storm work in Iowa, Michigan
and Dakota.
IN IOWA.
At about $50 Sunday evening the
storm struck the beautiful little city
of Grinnell. It's fury lasted less than
two minutes, and in that short space
of time destroyed the best part of the
residence portion of the town, burying
mangled and dead among the ruins,
over one hundred human beings,
mostl y women and children. Twelve
entire blocks Of buildings were wholly
swept away.
Passing few miles to the southeast
the storm struck and ruined the town
Of Malcolm, killing nine people that
were known of, and it is feared several
more, besides badly wounding a dozen
others. The damage done to property
can hardly be computed.
The town of Brooklyn, east of Grin
nell, also suffered considerably. The
Iowa Congregational college at Grin
nell, an elegant stone structure, four
stories high, and a large brick dormi-
tory near it, were levelled to the
earth, and are now as if they had new
er been.
From the Pioneer Press report of
the storm we clip as follows:
There were a number Of well-to-do
mechanics homes without cellars in
the midst Of the terrible force, and it
was at their homes that the greatest
destruction of life occurred. Where
the people took to their cellars there
was but little loss Of life, only one
person being killed in cellar. The
business men had not returned from
lhC ClI IC1llCI, NIlCil dtCOuIlS lOG the
fact that it was only women and child
rem who were killed. A citizen de
scribed the scene after the rain stopped
as awful and heartrending. There
were but a few lanterns and they were
almost worthless, and amid the dense
darkness. were heard the cries and
wailings Of hundreds. All night long
the search was made among the de-
bris for dead bodies, and each body
found added horror and misery. Trees
were pulled up by the roots and car
RED long distances, and half of the
grove of maple, elm and cherry were
completely stripped Of their bark on
every side, showing plainly that the
force was q genuine tornado. The
sidewalks were wiped out of existence,
and large stones from the college were
thrown hundreds of feet. Fowls were
entirely stripped of their feathers, and
the grass was fairly peeled from the
ground.
