J. WARREN KEIFER, Speaker, cost the
unfortunate people of the Unitel States
over $4,000. He would be dear at any
price, but $4,000 is extortion. Counting

Not Entitled 20 Credence.

There 10 no doubt that Rerdell in the Star
Route case, who swears that he was employed
TO make false anidayits in the Interest OF the
conspirators, is not entitled to tho slightest
credence, and that what he states can only be
received as evidence when 1t is impossible It
should be untrue. There can be no conyic-
lion therefore upon Rerdells statements un.
suppOrted by proof.

Now that Congress is gone and the fear
of adverse legislation is no longer before
their eyes, the timid holders of gas COM
pany stock are stiffening up and prices are
up-sales at 81 having been reported. 1t is
stated as a reason for this that large divi-
dend is about to be declared, but the know
ing ones assert that the company will not
again be met with such formidable com
bination as was arraycd against it during
the last Congress- and while its enormous
and valuable plant grows in value every
year, at the same time the difficulties and
expenses of an opposition company are
doubled.

IN HIS recent naval expedition against
the Chesapeake Bay bivalve pirates, Gov
ernor Cameron, hitherto the greatest naval
hero ever produced by Virginia, was ma
neuvred out of time and virtually de-
feated by Admiral Jim Skaggs of the Plan
katank fleet, who skillfully gave the
Virginians the go-by and left the Virginia
Van TIomp and his armada in the lurch.
Skaggs is quite a character and would
make a good subject for red-backod novel.
He is one-legged ex-pirate, sixty years of
age, who has followed up nefarious sea
business for the past fifty years. He lost
his leg while engaged in the slave trade in
an engagement with an English man-of-
war. His victory over Cameron furnishes
the Virginia papers broad scope to poke fun
at their marine governor.

KEIFER's statement was exactly what
the boys wanted. 1t shows that their reso-
lutions touched the raw. By the way, we
understand that General II. V. Boynton
says that although he h as been Refers
warmest friend, he is compelled to say that
he is able to tell when a man is drunk. Keifer
was in that condition at the time of his in
sulting conduct toward the correspondents.
Boynton's statement is corroborated by the
other correspondents who saw tho Speaker.
Altogether the prependerance of testimony
is against Mr.. Keifer.

at the outset, he would have been elected
long ere this; A fierce movement to whip
in al republicans to his support has COM
menced since his return from w Washington.
Moral bull-dozing is now being tried along
with cojolery. We must confess that this
savors too much of bOssism to meet eur ap
proval. So long 40 Mr.. Window, true to
his professions Of willingness to abide by
the unbiased and uninfluenced choice of
the republicans of the state, remained at
Washington, the Journal was disposed to
stand by him; but now that he has come
home and thrown himself personally into
the contest, with the evident purpose OF
terrorizing his opponents or influencing
votes in his favor by promises Of patron
age or other favors, it is impossible for u
to regard him in the same exalted light ~
at first. In what respect 10 he, in his pres

Republicans may possibly be whipped or
coaxed into the traces, as the result of the
methods adopted since Mr.. WINDOWS re-
turn, to elect him senator, if the contest
is sufficiently prolonged. But Mr.. Win
dom's election can no longer harmonize
the party. Matters have now assumed
such phase that his return to the senate
will make breaches in the party that can
not be healed very soon, and which may
even jeopardize Minnesotas retention in
the column of solid Republican states.
In every aspect that the case can be view
ed, it is better now to take up q new man
and elect him specdily.-Minneapolis

THERE ought to be some more just and
equitable system than that existing under
our present laws for the taxing of person
al property. OF course there may bs
many people whose personal taxes are so
small a. not to pay for the trouble of
evading them. But many large tax-pay-
ers will study long upon financial prob
lem of this kind. A few persons may
believe from conscientious motives that
these taxes are just debts, and that they
should contribute their fair share to-
wards the public burden. But the moral
sense of the community upon this sub
ject has been very much weakened of late
years. The people know that the burden
of taxation is not equally distributed,
that not one dollar in five of such person
sonal property is taxed as the law re-
quires. A few people whose personal af-
fairs are very much exposed to the know
ledge Of the public pay heavy taxes. The
absence of the names Of the other fourth
fiths of owners of taxable personal prop
erty heavily increases the burdens of the
few. and this unjust discrimination con-
tinues. As rule the man who il rich in
personal property does not pay more
than one-tenth of the amount of tax
which his no richer neighbor pays who
has all his possessions in real estate-vis-
ible property, which cannot be hid from
the assessor.

ss TIM carnival At Montreal opened aus
piciously Jan. Path. The, ice-palace was
opened in the evening and was pronounc-
ed q palace Of wonder and beauty, never
equaled outside of fairy tales. The struc-
ture is one hundred feet square, with
walls IS feet high. From the center Of,
the building rises tower of over 100 feet
high and 80 feet square. The blocks Of
ice used in the building were cut in the
St. Lawrence and are as clear Is crystal.
In size they average 40 inches in length,
20 inches in breadth, and from II to 20
inches in depth. They were piled on each
other by means of derricks. The quan-
tity Of ice required for building was be-
tween forty and fifty thousand cubic feet.
The structure-the towers - well as the
main building-has been rooted with cedar
bows saturated with water. The facade
is adorned with statues sculptured out Of
ice by local artist. On each side Of the
main entrance is an arctic hut built Of
ice also. The interior as well as the ex-
terror Of the palace will be illuminated
