TARIFF REDUCTION.

Some of the leading Republicans in con-
greSs, Senator DAWES being among them,
are accred ted with a willingness to con-
cede the popular demand for tariff reduc-
lion to the extent of placing sugar on the
Tree list. They realize that something must
De done. and in looking over the entire field
they conclude that sugar can be excluded
from the protected list with the least DAN
ger to the other protected indus
tries. The exclusion of sugar will
result in the loss of the Louisiana
delegation to the protection ranks.
but as the delegation is small one and not
very influential the champions of protec-
ton prefer to sacrifice that industry rather
than to risk the cause of protection by the
sacrifice Of more powerful interests. The
probable result will be that sugar will be
stricken from the protected list by the
present congress.
The fact that the protectionistS have been
forced TO make any sort of concession is
evidence of the growing strength of the
tariff reform movement. 1t is also evidence
that the Republican party is afraid to go
before the country in national contest tied
down to its ironclad protection platform.
Still, while making a show of catering to
the popular will in regard to tariff reform,
it is observable that the Republican leaders
manifest 10 disposition to come out from
under the power Of the gigantic manufac-
turing and mining monOpolies. The coun-
try will not be deceived by their apparent
friendliness for tariff reform. although it
comes in the SweetenPd form of free sugar.
The people will be glad to get cheap sugar,
but along with it they want cheap iron.
cheap coal, cheap wooden and cotton goods
Sugar is useful article in the family, but
it does not constitute all of household
supplies. What the people want is a fair
reduction on all articles, and the sacrifice
of one protected article for the benefit of
others will not satisfy the popular demand
for Tariff reform,

A GOOD BEGINNING.

Young JIMMY BLAINE must have some
good metal in him, if he did marry without
his fathers knowledge. Unlike the ma
jority of the sons of distinguished men, he
is not content to retire on the reputation
his father earned. but he has taken off his
coat and gone to work to earn his own liv-
ing just as if he had no parents to depend
on. He has secured a position as reporter
on a Pittsburg morning journal. and now
spends his nights ringing door bells and
getting the opinions of prominent citizens
on the last ordinance of council regulating
the width of sidewalks. or scaling around
the corridors of the police station making a
character sketch of the last wife murderer.
JIMMY has pluck and brains and independ-
ence, the most essential qualifications for
good reportorial work, and we expect to
see him adOrn the honorable vacation he
has chosen. If he will eschew politics his
future is assured

NoN-pARTIsAN JUDIcIARY.

Although Chief Justice WAITE has
reached the age when. under the law. he IS
entitled.to withdraw from the bench on full
salary. he signifies his intention to remain
and TO continue his judicial work. The
meaning of Chief Justice YATES conduct
is obvious. There is 10 man who has
reached the good old age of three score and
ten years but is glad to avail himself OF the
opportunity TO give up the labors and
responsibilities of active business lite, If he
knows that ne can do so without detrlment
to his financial affairs. The labOrS of a
supreme bench judge are exceedingly oner-
Gus if the Judge cOnscientiously performs
his duties In view of this fact aud OF the
necessity for having men in the full possess
sion of vigorous faculties to enable them to
acceptably discharge the duties Of the Of
fee of supreme judge, congress passed the
retiring bill Chief Justice WAITE declines
to avail himself Of this privilege from the
simple fact that his retirement would give
an opportunity to appoint a Demo-
crat as his successor. AS is well
known. Judge WAITE is not in
good health. He has recently returned
from Europe, whittier he had gone for the
benefit of his health. And yet he thinks
that his duty as partisan requires him to
hold on to an Office at the peril OF his life
rather than to give the opposition an oppOr-
tunity to ill the position he would vacate.
1t is a misfortune that the civil service rules
cannot be applied to the judiciary. If there
is any one department of the government i'll
which a non-partiSan feature should pre-
vail. it is the judicial department. Ard yet
there is none where it is more strictly en-
forced. If Judge WAITE could be induced
to look at the situation in its proper light
he would see that the public good demanded
his retirement, not because he is not a
faithful and capable judge, but because he
would set precedent that would be of in
estimable value in the future. The very
fact that he ignored all partisan cOnSidera-
tons and retired from the bench at time
when he would give the opposition an adj
vantage in the matter of his succession
would be such an illustrious example of
separating the judicial from the political
that it could not fail to have a good in
fuence on the judicial department in
the future And what if Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND did appoint a Democrat to
succeed him? The country would not
be hurt by having the complexion of the
supreme bench changed a little. 1t is en-
tireIy too one-sded in its partisan construc-
ton. If the court was more evenly bal
anced in this respect its decisions relating
to political questions would command more
respect, and it would in every way be better
capacitated to fulfill the expectations of the
founders of our government who designed
the supreme court to be the palladium Of
American liberty.

Newrntlro.dComp.nv.

Articles Incorporating the Mankato & AL
bert Lea railway company, with a capital
stock Of 81, 0UU. 900, were filed in the Office of
the secretary of state yesterday. The COM
pany, 10y it's articles of Incorporation, pro-
poses to build a road from the north line of

the northern boundary of Minnesota. Head
quarters will be at Mankato. John Will

II is understood that this company has been
organized to construct the road over essen
TALLY the same line as was proposed for the
Austin, Mankato & st. Cloud. An effort will
be made TO secure the legislation necessary
to obtain the land grant that was originally
held by the last named company. If this can
be secured a line will be built south from
Austin to connect with some of the leading
lines in Iowa. 1t is said that the new incor-

TIL T. Oil PANIC.
A big stir in the OleogInous in the
East.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 9.-The oil market took
another tumble this morning, prices declin-
ing nearly cents. There was no cause
for the drop, except the uncertain feeling
prevailing which deters the dealers
from buying. The market opened
feverish at TO- and general rush to unload
followed. There were no buyers, however,
and values slumped off their own wsight to
65I, when confidence was restored a little by
a few purchasers coming in, and prices re-
acted to IS at noon. One failure was reported
here this morning, the unfortunate beingJ. w.
Hayes,whose brother suspended last Tuesday.
The amount of oil sold under the rule for his
account was "a, 900 barrels. The transactions
at the exchange yesterday were 10,00O,O0O
barrels. After o'clock the session was de.
void of exciting features. The market
became more settled and prices remained
in the neighborhood of Csc for
the rest of the day, closing steady at 6S%,
This morning the president called the brokers
from the bull ring and In a little speech
advised them not to get excited but to do as
little trading as possible. take no risks that
could be avoided, and above all
not to sacrifice their Oil. These
remarks had an instant good
effect in quieting the overstrained nerves of
the brokers, and also helped to steady the
market, which thereafter slowly recovered
some of the ground lost in the slump during
the first ten minutes.

The Tariff Raised .

The Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota associa-
ton met in Chicago Tuesday and Wednesday
to consider the policy of raising tht8tariff to
all points in Dakota and Minnesota from Chi
cago. After discussing the matter at length,
it was decided to increase the rates to CORE
spond with rates TO Minnesota and Dakota
points from st. Paul. 1t will be remembered
that the jobbers of st. Paul complained to
the railroad commiS sior ers that the Chicago
jobbers were given rates by the Northwest
eru roads to points in Minnesota and Dakota
that were but Little less than the rates charged
ST. Paul jobbers TO the same points. This
they claimed was an open discrimination
against st. Paul trade. After considering the
matter, the railroad commissioners cluimed
that they had authority to adjust rates in the
state Of Minnesota and were disposed to cut
down the rates charged between st. Paul and
Minnesota and Dakota points. This was why
the association meeting was called and the
matter was probably satisfactorily settled b
the decision of that body, to raise the tariff
from Chicago to correspond with the st. Paul
rates.

THE WABASH DECISION.

ions sawed 10 Bond folders.

New YORK, Dec. "a reporter was sue
cessful in seeing Mr.. Gould yesterday in re-
gard to the decision of Judge Gresham.
II never met Judge Gresham" he said,
land know little about him. Some of the
Wabash bondholders have been here to-da :,
and from what tDey have told me about him l
think he must be sunering from severe at
tack IF the presidential fever. 1t is a terrible
disease, and when man is fully under its

time The road to the White house begins at

much to call us names, and these men with
political aspirations think that it has great
weight with the people. In their opinion, ap-
parently, abuse of me is
THE FIRST STEP
toward the presidency. FROM what hear
think judge Gresham's opinion in the Wa
bash case was owing to the buZzing of the
bee in his bonnet. But the charges against
me are wholly without foundation. Judge
Gresham lays great stress upon the fact that

PRESIDENTIAL GIFTS.

Since a disposition has developed itself
on the part of the president to be little
more generous in the matter of offices and a
little less regardful of the dictates of his
Mugwump friends in the matter of observ-
ing civil service regulations, and since.
Also there yet remain many offices which
might with advantage be flied with Demo-
claIS, it may reasonably be expected that
the presidential heart will, at the approach
ing feStal season. warm to his fellow parti-
sans and the sympathy which undoubtedly
CLOVIS in his bosom express itself in the
practical manner of freer distribution of
the governmental positions whose disposal
he controls. in no other way could the
president more properly celebrate the merry
Christmas time, and in no way could he So
well indicate his good will toward men as

still are Democrats, tree and true. judici0us

is secured The unsettled liabilities
include S1,095 in Endorsements. The
assets are given as So in cash and
the office furniture at an estimated
value of SIS. The questions of the creditors,
who were surprised at the disproportion be-

the fact that the secured liabilities consisted
of money advanced on paper stock, which
was held as colateI al. The old and we'll
Thayer 81 Co. made an assign
ment this afternoon TO j. o. Henry
with liabilities estimated at $60O,000.
About 100000 of this Indebtedness is said
to be held by banks and bankers, and the
failure is due to the unwi lingness of these
creditors to carry such large amount of any
firms paper. The firm has been in business
for lofty years, and its standing was of the
highest. The firm has two factories, one in
Midway, the other in Haverhill, the latter
having just been completed. The fact that
in the erection of the factory the firm paid
cash Tor all materials Iuduo Tue
more of a surprise to friends. Until within
a year the firm has done a jobbing business
only and since that time heavy liabilities
have been incurred in preparing for
manufacturing. A member of the firm said
tonight that the machinery for their new
mill at Haverhill was of the most expensive
description and many of the firms notes out
standing were given in payment for this
equipment. Two notes for $4,000 fell due to-
day and the firm being unable to obtain
money in the usual channels with which to
meet them the assignments followed.
