The Louisville COwier-JOarRal refuses to be COM
forted The failure of the Morrison bill broke the
heart of its valiant editor and, apparently. he
wants all the world to realize that fact. Instead
of having kindly word for Mr. Hewitt's bill, he
damns ii with faint praise, declaring that
Hewitt is a little late" and that it is question
able if it is worth while TO attempt further TO re-
form the tariff at this session. But our friend is
not so far gone in his grief to have lost his ncin
alton to advise the party. Accordingly, he remarks
that "let true Democrats be elected to Congress
in the place of these fortyOne RandaiteS, and the
victory is won" OF course the forty-one Randall
ties are to consider themselves read ont of the party
without benefit of the clergy. But we are afraid
that if free-trade's triumph is postponed until
Democratic delegation appears in Congress that is
solid for horizontal reduction any such thing,
the crack of doom will be heard several thousand
ages before the heart of Watterson is adequately
bound up and comfortcd.

In the opinion of The Commercial sdr9t'se the
call for the Arthur ratification meeting is the most
significant thing that has happened since the ques-
ton of candidates for the next election arose.
That is to say it is most significant that Presl-
dent in office who is III the field for another term
should have a large and influential backing IN his
own city. 1t was never before argued that the
taking of Holland by the Dutch was TO be regarded
as an occasion of peculiar flcitaton upon the part
of the successful Dutchmen.

Mr. Hewitt's tariff bill has been badly pune

Boston is catching the reform fever. The
Legislature has been petitioncd by the Repub-
lican members of the Common Council to pass
law giving the Mayor the absolute power to
appoint heads of departments. The Democrats
in the City Council there Obstruct reform in the
same manner as their brethren do IN New York.
The change oughtto be made.
The magnitude of the work done il taking
the tenth census is shown by the fact that the
special reports, when finished. will make about
eighteen large quarto volumes. That is exclu-
sivc of the compendium, already published. 1t
will probably be year and a half before the
work will be complete. The delay is unfortu-
nate, but unavoidable.
The Legislature disposed of the Field
Civil Code and the 1hrOop Code in the
best way possible under the circum-
stances The Governor was authorized to
appoint commission TO examine and report
upon the subject TO the next Legislature. The
ThrOOp Code is a revision of the statutes affect
ing real estate. The same subject is covered by
the Field Code and many of the provisions of
the one are said to be inconsistent with those of
the other. AS strong objections have been
made by the Bar Association and by many
reputable lawyers in other cities To both codes,
it is well that an able and impartial commission
should be appointed to consider the subject.

To the inquiring mind the spectacle of Mr.. Henry
George posing the champion of the Eighth Com
nandmont is somewhat apt to seem anomalous.
Mr.. George is in the habit of lccturing upon the
alleged snfulness of private property in land, and
his simple ii drastic remedy for the supposed evil
is the wholesale coniscaton Of this class of prop
erty. Wherein this method differs from stealing
the ingenious author of Progress and Poverty y
has never yet succeeded in demonstrating. As a
fact il does not 20 differ. As a fact what he pro-
poses is neither more nor less than theft on a
gigantic scale. And since this is the ayOwed end
and aim OF his teachings il may be thought odd. TO
say the least, that ne should figure rs the stern
reprover OF those who violate the Eighth Command
ment Possibly he draws nice distinctions, like Mr..
Gladstone who is able to perceive "a vast difference
between General Gordon's beng hemmed in +"
and his being surrounded" In such subtle dis
tinetions. however, tho masses Of men never take

POSSIBLE NExIC4Y CBIs1s.

The difficulty in the city of Mexico with re-
ference to the collection of the stamp tax by
the government from the merchants, seems
to have reached point where there is liable
to be collision between the troops and the
people. They have their own way of doing
things in that country. The universal rem
edy for grievances is revolt, or revolution.
When there is an edict issued or an attempt
to enforce law that somebody does not like
then mob collects, a pronunciamento is is
sued, lot of the citizens are shot and stab
bed, few houses are plundered and burnt,
and the whole affair is conducted somewhat
after the Cincinnati plan. AS rule, the
government wins. and good many people
are tried, and shot after the revolt is over
and then for time all goes on as before.
The present time shows the beginning of
one Of these frequent social and political
crisiess. The government has in its possess
ion some extraordinary powers which it is
empowered to use in cases of necessity. Be-
lieving that one of these cases is now pres
ent the government has elected to enforce
the use of one Of these special powers by the
collection of a species of license from mer
chants and others whose business may be
thus taxed. Hence the mutterings, the IN
easiness and the threats of an outbreak.
Among the disaffected are many Americans
who have gone into business in the Mexican
capital and who are vainly appealing to the
American consul to protect them from these
exactions. There is not the smallest reason
for concluding that the efforts of citizens of
this country to do business with Mexicans by
taking up their residence among them will
meet with success. The Mexican people do
not desire business relations with Ameri
cans on thisbasis, and will not tolerate them.
The Mexican people hate this country with
a malignity and strength that are undying.
They have never forgotten or forgiven the
loss of Texas and New Mexico, or the defeats
which they suffered at the hands of the
American army. They hate US as a nation,
and they hate us as individuals.
The experience of Americans who have
gone into business in Mexico Is that they are
a specially hated class. In case of revolu-
ton they would be made victims of the ban
dts who should be fighting for or against the
state. A mixture of Spanish and Indian,
they have all the hauteur and pride of the
one and the undying desire for vengeance
of the other The time will come when the
only solution of the Mexican problem will
be found in the possession of the country.
1t, in its present condition, will always be to
us menace. Not to-day, but some years
or decades hence, it will be found that the
only radical solution of the difficulty will be
the occupation and final annexation OF our
troublesome neighbor.

A complaint was made about half-past
IL o'clock this morning to Officer Hanft by a
woman who keeps boarding house on the
corner of Seventh and Rosabel streets that a
man was occupying room in her house with
a woman. The landlady did not like that
kind of business, and had SO informed the
parties, but they did not respect her wishes
in the matter and proposed to remain. She
determined that they should not and accord
ingly asked the aid of the officer to enable
her to get rid of them. The officer
went up to the room and arrested
both, and took them to the city hall. He
gave the name of Charles B. Brown, which,
of course, was not the correct one. Sergeant
Walsh required $50 bail for the two, but the
mans purse was not long enough, and S35
was all he could furnish. He therefore gave
S25 bail for the woman, and securing hack
sent her home, while he was locked up. The
woman's name was not made known, but it
was understood that she is married, and lives
up town.

POLITICAL COLORPHoBIA.

Colorphobia is breaking out in virulent
manner among white Republicans. In
Georgia, according to special from Atlanta,
awhile mans party has already been organ
lied by Republicans, who loathe political
utilization with ''niggers," and who com
temptuously spurn the thought of subordi-
nation to negroes, in localities where he has
the numerical ascendancy. This new white
mans party organization has issued an ad-
dress to voters and is developing considera-
BILE importance in Georgia. Such stalwart,
Republicans as Gen. Longstreet Jonathan
Norcross, ex-congressman Freeman, and
men of that character are identified with the
movement.
The republicans have heretofore claimed
the negro vote of the South by prescriptive
right, on account of the claimed sseternal
gratitude" which the negroes owe to 'sthe
grand old party" But this new phase of re-
lection of the colored vote, will lead to new
complications, and only serve to make the
South still more solid for the Democracy.
The delicate constituencies of the Georgia re
publicans, is at variance with true political
line in party action will inevitably lead to
rugged complications and unappeaseable Bit
terness. A negroes vote will count as
much as Gen. Longstreet's, though his in
fiuence may not. The "White man S party"
may see the time in the not very far away
future, when they much desire, but cannot
obtain, the now despised and rejected negro
vote. We are glad to see the hypocritical
pretext of respect for the rights of the col
ored race at last abandoned.

HOW TO DEFEAT KNUTE NELSON.


1t must be conceded that Charley Gilman
has stolen march upon the Kindred crowd
in the Fifth district by calling a nominating
convention at Fergus Falls the day previous
to the Moorhead convention. 1t is political
trick, but that is the general style
of Republican politics in Mime
sofa and was to be expected. tits, however,
trick neatly played.
First, the Gilman-Nelson committee,
ignoring the Kindred faction, called con-
vention to meet at Moorhead on April Oath,
to send delegates to the national convention.
Then the Holmes-Kindred COM
mittee met and after expressing a
good deal of just indignation
called convention of their faction to meet
at Moorhead for the same purpose on the
same day. This was good deal of sur
render, and decided overture for peace.
1t was really display of self-abegnation on
the part of the Kindred crowd.
Instead of accepting it in this manner the
Gilman-Nelson gang treat the peace offering
with contempt, and proceed without consult
ing the Kindred faction, to call another con-
yention at Fergus Falls for April %, to nom
mate candidate for congress.
The Kindred committee, having already
Inundated themselves by tagging on to the
Moorhead call of the Nelson committee, can
not very well follow up their humble attitude
by calling a second convention to meet at
Fergus Falls on the 23d. They cannot act
under the Nelson call and send dele
gates to the Fergus Falls convention
full surrender. This will, of course, leave
Nelson clear field and give him an uncon-
tested nomination at Fergus Falls, and if the
Kindred faction are not going to lie down
under the insult, they have no alternative
but to hold convention of their own and
put candidate in the field.
The vote in 1882 stood IL, 23S for Kindred
and 16, $50 for Nelson. Nelson was bolter
but now claims regularity because he was
elected. The ignoring of over twelve thou.
sand voters, and the contemptuous insult
offered them by the Gilman-Nelson gang, is
one of the most high-handed political out
RACES ever attempted The Nelson men say
10 hepuDlCduS III lue rllGQ
do not want you to act with us. There are
four thousand more of us than of your crowd
and you can run a machine of your own
The men who voted for Kindred in 1885,
ought to take the Nelson gang Al
their word and fight them to the
death. Every element of decency and man.
hood rebels against the insult of the Gilman.
Nelson committee.
1t is perhaps too much to hope, but the
Democratic fiasco in the Fifth district in 1885,
ought to have taught them a lesson. Tho
two Republican factions of the Fifth district
ought to be given clear field to fight it Out
without Democratic interference. In thai
way Mr.. Nelson can be defeated. He is an
incubus on the district, and the reign of Gil
man and Nelson can be terminated if the
Kindred faction will display proper degree
of manhood and the Democrats develop some
common sense.

THE ST PAUL DAILY GLOBE THURSDAY MORNING APRIL TO- 1884,

to interview the various people re-
ferred to, and many other promi-
nent people, residents. The unanimity
with which all those interviewed asserted
that Arnold was humbug is very curious.
Many of those who had entertained him at
their houses were among the most bitter in
their denunciations of his worthlessness.
He was again and again termed dead beat
by persons who had fawned on him while
here, but who were soured by the bogus letter
in which they saw themselves ridiculed.
Scores of anecdotes were related of his i'll
manners, his selfishness and other reprehen-
sible qualities. His philosophy was denounced,
he was affirmed topper, a snob, an English
hog-and always by the very people who
made the most of him while in that city.
Now, it has been elected that he did not
write the letter at all, and all those people
have put themselves on record as to their
opinion of him, he will see all these inter
views, and what will the English poet think
of these people whose hospitality he was in
vited to share, who made so much of him
and who now have rushed into print to show
him to be boor, a hog, drunkard, and
who have not been sparing of abuse of even
his wife and daughter!

SENSATIONAL REPORT.
The McHenry Indebtedness Settled
Amicably with President
Jewett.
The Steps Taken to That End, and McHenry
Leaves for Europe on the
Servia.

New YORK, April 9.-Late this evening,
after the business offices were closed, ru-
NOR was started to the effect that James Nc
Henry, the railroad magnate, was arrested
to day on board the steamship Servia, and
on which he was passenger for England
The alleged arrest was said to be at the in
stance of the Erie Railroad company. Mr.
James Riley, Mr.. McHenry's agent, says :
''The rumored arrest is utterly false. The
facts are, since November last negotiations
have been pending between McHenry and
President Jewett, in regard to the
settlement of judgement aggregating some
100000, obtained here and in London by
the Erie railroad company against McHenry.
The latter had been anxious to go to Eng
land for some time, but he did not wish TO
leave the city before a satisfactory settlement
had been made. The matter dragged along
since that time without anything being ac-
complished, until two days ago, when Nc
Henry made, through me, a proposition to
levitt, by which he agreed to transfer very
valuable assets, consisting principally OF
stocks and other surities to the Erie
railroad company, as a settlement in
full of all claims against him.
This proposition was regarded with favor,
and yesterday evening McHenry and myself
met Jewett aud his lawyer, Opdyke, at his
own house, when we talked over the whole
matter Jewett made a proposition, based
on McHenry's offer, which was accepted by
the latter with very little modification, and
arrangements were made to conclude the
agreement to-day.
This forenoon there was another meeting
in the Erie office. After this McHenry, S.
L. NJ Barber, counsel of the Erie company,
and myself, proceeded to the Victoria hotel,
where Barlow drew up settlement, which
was signed by McHenry, after the terms
had been carefully reconsidered. This was
about 1 O'Clock. Shortly after we had lunch
and l drove with McHenry to the dock of the
Cunard line, where the Ser
via was lying. As soon
as he went on board McHenry was met by
large number of friends who came to see him
off. While he was bidding them farewell,
Hanford, one of the Erie's lawyers, came up
ond gave a personal note from President
Jewett, in which he expressed himself well
pleased with the result of the negotiations.
The Servia sailed about fifteen minutes after
ward, and no officer of the law was seen by
any of the party. l have no doubt that prep
arations had been made to play the usual
snap game and prevent McHenry sailing in
case the agreement was not signed by him.
There was probably a deputy marshal on
board at the time with a warrant, as | happen
to know that one had been issued, but he did
not show himself or it.
