ABOUT THE TARIFF.

Two Presidential Candidates Define Their
Position on this Important Question.
NEW YORK, May 29.-The World pub
fishes letters written to Editor Pulitzer by
Senators Bayard and Mcdonald respecting
the tariff question. The former.says any
thing like fnesse or appearance of fnesse
or trick in dealing with such an issue as
the tariff for revenue or tariff for the pro-
lection of certain classes of our citizens
will greatly weaken the party resorting to
it. 1 know of no position more impr eg-
nable and upon which it is more import
ant for the Democratic party to form its
line than that public property cannot be
taken for private use under any
pretext. The only ground upon
which any individual can be deprived of
his property is to benefit the community,
and whenever such exigencies arise he
must first be Justly compensated. The
form of exaction is eimmaterial, as
much so as place tax collected in the
interior or at mans residence or at a
seaport of entry and under the tariff law,
an excise or direct tax law. It is all the
same and to be justified must be in the
name and for the use of the government
of the United States. This principle of
one laid oo@n rate of taxation by public
exigencies and such a spectacle as was wit
messed at the last session of congress of a
handful of men representing private inter
ests and controlling and moulding the
public laws of taxation to suit those inter-
ests will never again be tolerated by hon
est public sentiment.
Senator Mcdonald says the tariff issue is
connected with the general subject of
revenue reform, and will necessarily be an
| important question in all future political
contests until it is settled upon the doc
trines of the constitution and principles of
sound political economy. We may be
some time reaching a resolution of the
question, but until the public mind be-
comes enlightened it will aot be satisfied
with any tariff that has not for its govern
ment these principles, nor with the details
of any tariff law IN which the duties laid
upon foreign merchandise shall be above
revenue point,

Especial Telegram to the Globe1
CHICAGO, May 29.-The Ri. Rev. h. B,
Whipple, Episcopal bishop of Minnesota,
with Mrs. Whipple, was at the Grand Pa
cific yesterday, and left on the evening
train for home. To reporter, Bishop
Whipple said that the church was growing
In Minnesota as rapidly as could be ex-
pected, considering the immense foreign
population which are coming into the
state. Since he had been in that
diocese, a period of twenty four
years, over 100 churches had been
established. There were seven Indian
| clergymen in orders and 1900 civilized in
dams, about equally divided between the
Roman catholic and Episcopal churches.
The combinations this year were more nu-
| merous than ever before. At Faribault he
| had $25O,OO0 worth of school buildings,
| with about $50 scholars of both sexes. The
bishop further said that the foreign emil
grants, who were pouring into the state
were an excellent class of people, and as
simulated very quickly with the American
portion of the population. No better or
more moral class of citizens could be found
anywhere. The Roman Catholic church in
Minnesota had taken decided stand in
favor of temperance, mainly through the
efforts of Bishop Ireland, for which he de-
served great credit; and that its efforts had
been successful was due chiefly to the fact
that the Irish, who formed the bulk of the
communicates, were among the
most thrifty and respectable
citizens of the state. Bishop
Whipple also said that he had just been
making his annual visitation and had
travelled all over the state except in the
southwestern portion, and that everywhere
he found that the wheat crop was going to
be very heavy. He commended the public
spirit and liberality of the wealthy citi-
zens of the state, instancing the success
that he had met with in establishing his
schools, and also the fact that his church
had four hospitals and other deDomlna-
lions were equally we'll provided for.

CHICAGO, May 29.-The movement
which was organized to hold mass meet
ing of Irish Catholics of this city to pro-
test against the pope's bull relative to the
participation of bishops and clergy in the
Parnell testimonial fund is causing some
stir among Irish-American citizens here.
There exists, apparently, a difference of
opinion as to the wisdom of such course,
the more conservative urging that action
be delayed until the full text of the pa pal
note is known. Others of the leaders in
sist on immediate action and meeting is
to be held Tuesday next to decide whether
mass meeting will be called. Priests in
terviewed, join in urging that no layman
or prelate should engage in any crusade
against the head of the church.
