Reformation not revolution is
the keynote sounded by Speaker Car
isle before the New York Free Trade
Club. There is no cause for alarm in
that. Every body can stand reforma-
ton. The country is safe. There
will be no revolution. The tariff will
be reformed. but in the interest of

those who are unjustly protected.
Reduce the tariff to a basis sufficient

make. There is a chance here for
some practical mind to devise com.

Senator Sabin expects to lead the
Minnesota delegation (of which G. +.
Kindred hopes to be magma 2ars) to
the next republican convention, but
there is some doubt as to his ability
to do so, since the friends of governor
Davis will do all in their power to
hu,uiliate Sabin, and secure the prize

arises from the we'll known fact that
he prevented Mcmillan from resign

K. Davis as McMillan's successor to
