SATURDAY last the editor of the FREE
Press made flying trip 10 La Crosse
and WInona, and found, even in the
brief time spent in each of these places,
two Of the most thrifty and enterprising
cities III the Northwest. Especially is
Winona pushing ahead. There the
stranger is at once impressed with the
particularly unique and tasty residences
and fine lawns. The streets as rule
are in first-class condition, the side
walks in good repair, and OH every hand
- visable public improvements of II sub
stantial character. Each ward i'll the
city has a magnificent park laid out with
pretty walks and nice shade trees, and
something which struck us forcibly was
the absence Of fences and likewise the
festive COW. Some very elegant bust
ness houses attract the attention
Of strangers and the tidy and metropoli-
tan appearance of the stores Is decided
~ striking. People who have never
visited Winona little appreciate the
splendid and promising city it is.

CAUCUS o. TARIFF RRroHn prnocnArs TO
MEET THIS EVENING TO coNsIpxR THArouEs-
TON


The democrats who voted for consideration OF
the tariff bill viii meet In caucus in the hall OF
Representatives at o'clock this evening. The
purpose OF the caucus is to consider the policy
10 be followed with relation 10 the tarif. Some
OF the tarif reformers are in favor OF accepting
the situation and ending the matter for this
session with an address TO the people. which
VIII make the question the issue Of the fall
congressional campaign. Mr.. Morrison and
some other members OF the committee are.
however, In favor Of pressing the question again
and again upon the House with stubborn per-
sistency.
II is hard to calculate which idea will prevail
o. the caucus. II the latter, II IL hot impossible
that there viii yet this session be q general
tar!u discussion. This possibility grows out OF
certain circumstances which make IL necessary
tnat there should be Some correction OF the
machinery Of the present law. The worsted
manufacturers demand the correction OF an
work a great hardship upon them. Both re
iormers and protectionists acknowledge the
justice OF this demand and the
c0nr s. the 1seen. aesson
has declared that the law gives no warrant for
the collection Of duty On the wrappers Of pack
eminent has to refund about $4,000, OOO also
1t prevents further collection OF such duties and
Possible to send in many
Is thought TO be necessary that . bill 10 correct
these things should be passed. II such a bin Is
constructed and taken Up In the House. IL viii
offered In the form Of the tariff
bill, and In that way the-whole question would
come up. The protectionist democrats are said
70 be very much In doubt az to what policy
they will follow.
Mr.. Randall has prepared a-tarif bill, but has
not yet decided what to do with Ii. Some Of his
iriends are said TO be pressing him to introduce
u In the House and attempt to secure its pas
sage This would. however, let the reormers
In ana open up the whole question, which he Is
not disposed TO do. IL Is probable that he will
not introduce the bill unless Mr.. Morrison
adopts some tactics which seem 10 promise the
getting up Of the question any how.
should Mr.. Morrison or some friend Of the
Worsteo manufacturers on the other side bring
out bill 70 correct the defects in the law above
mentioned, the tariff would surely be discussed
this session, and Mr. Randall would introduce
bis blu or have IL introduced.

A NOTABLE DISCREPANCY IN THE FIGURES.
The contract for supplying the Treasury de-
partment with 800 tons OF coal was to-day
awarded to John Miller at So "a per ton. The
contract for furnishing the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing with ZOO tons Of the same
kind OF coal was a few days ago also awarded
to Miller At 81. % per ton. The difference in
prices has caused quite little stir in the Treas
ury department which has been supplemented
BY the statement OF one OF the bidders that
he had told Miller that his bid for the Treasury
coal was $3.50, whereupon Miller submitted
another bid at $3.50, requesting permission to
withdraw his first, which was subsequently
learned TO be S324. The department refused
this and accepted his hrst bid oi So - per ton,
holding SZOO deposit as guarantee OF the ful-
dllment OF the contract. Nevertheless, the
tact that the contract for the bureau OF
engraving and printing coal is at SO much
higher price leaves the impression at the Treas
ury department that there Is something like
ring in the coal business.
