Nuptial Arrangements.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is fashionable now for husbands
and wives to keep separate bedrooms.
Kings and queens have set the example,
and the newly coupled folks in our fash
ionable world are following it. No Sc
cret is made of the custom. The incest
of our output of June brides will calmly
show you her own dainty boudoir, and
then exhibit the bedroom of her huS-
band. And the Duke of Marlborough
and his bride, the beautiful widow
Hamersley. sailed away on their honey
moon voyage in two staterOoms.
More than that, | have it from posi-
lively trustworthy source that on the
evening of the wedding, after the Clews
dinner at DelEonico's, which was con-
cluded at 1915 p. m, the chaperone,
Mrs. Cruger, and the duchess were
driven in carriage unattended to the
HamerSley mansion on Fifth avenue.
and the duke, after passing some time
with his friends in ordinary pOstpran-
dial entertainment, sought his quarters
at the Albemarle hotel. This was con-
strued as ducal politeness.-
The idea is that the bride must not be
intruded upon, and that she must be
left to invite her husband to call sooner
OF later, as the fancy suits her. In one
instance the welded couple went right
away or diverse tours, to meet at the
end of week in some distant place, the
locality being kept secret from their
acquaintanceS.

THE TARIFF FALLACY.
Y. Times Independent Republican,.

n. Y. Times Independent Republican,.
If American pluck and ingenuity can
sell boiler tubes made of English steel
in the English market, after paying
freight both ways and 10 per cent on the
raw material, it is pretty plain that that
industry can manage itself better than
congress can manage it. That is what
the Tyler Tube works of Boston have
just done, having shipped 600 boiler
tubes to the Babcock q Wilcox COM
pany, Glasgow. But this is only one
part of the story. Without the 10 per
cent which the government retains on
imported goods when they aresre-eX-
ported, of course the American manu-
facturers would be by just so much bet
ter able to compete in foreign markets.
Without the 45 per cent Cat present
prices that must be paid on the same
steel when used for goods sold in this
country, they could be sold just so much
cheaper here, the quantity made would
increase, more labor would be employed,
""d every one would be benefited-in
short, the exactly opposite effect would
be secured from that produced by
protective tariff"

sTANLEY'S ADVANCE.

The latest news from STANLEY, the
explorer, seem to be authentic. 1t con-
veys the information that he is On the
way to the relief of Khartoum, with the
intention of liberating several Europe
ans imprisoned there. The gratifying
assurance of STANLEY'S immediate
safety is thus conveyed. But what a
reproach it at the same time brings to
the English government!
England was in honor bound to go to
the relief of GORDON at Khartoum.
This she basely refused to do, and COR
DON fell victim to Ell MAHDI. Then
there was still time to relieve the other
Europeans, but the campaign had been
an expensive as well as an unpopular
one, and she coolly deserted them. 1t
remains for private explorer, without
the slightest aid from the English gov
ernment, to obey the call of hui
manity and go to the assistance of
the captives. If STANLEY succeeds
and there is small doubt of that-he will
achieves a triumph unsurpassed by any
of his other wonderful achievements in
the Dark Continent.
Though not one by birth, STANLEY is
an American by training and associa-
ton. His feats in Africa have reflected
great credit upon his adopted country,
and the progress of his latest expedition
toward a successful conclusion will no
where be received with as much eager
interest as in America. And the fact
that his success will make England'S
meanness all the more apparent will de-
tract nothing from the popular satisfac-
ton

A GRAND RLUEE.
The Merriam G. o. p. Snaps the
Bosses Whip.
To the Editor of the Globe.

ST. PAUL, July 15.-Do the people of Min
nesota intend to elect our next governor, or
must they again accept the lucky number of
the political bosses? 1t looks as if the latter
course was the modus operandi, and that
money, and not principles or fitness of the
man, is to have much to do with it.
Mr. Merram's snap-the-whip scheme, as
presented in the Pioneer Press peoples Per-
plexity) this morning, is the most apparent
piece of political foolishness yet presented.
What is Albert Scheffers position?" and
what they think OF it, is supposed master
piece of the last of the g. o. D., with such
''croakers'' as Henry Johns, Lane X. Stone,
George G. Squires, and other juvenile states
men, that is amusing to any man who has
lived within and understands the great needs
of our state.
Yes! What is Scheffer's position?
Answer-He is for thorough and proper
reduction of the tariff; he desires to see the
increasing surplus checked and the hun
dreds of millions Of the peoples money left
with them, and not paid, one-seventh into an
over-filled United States treasury, and the
other siX-sevenths paid to the iron and coal
kings of Pennsylvania and other aristocratic
monopolists. He desires to see the people of
Minnesota put on par with Eastern manu-
facturers. His position in this is the same as
that of Gordon E. Cole, Knute Nelson, Eu-
gene NJ. Wilson and scores of other honest
men of the two great parties, but his position
is hostile to the bosses of his party. He is, as
W. j. Freaney says it is, ''a Republican. He
is for Minnesota and its people, and not for
the Chicago platform as adopted by the Re-
publican party. He is an anti-monopolist in
every sense; a believer in the inter-
state commerce law Just the same
as A. D. Keyes, Senator Pope, E. H. Loyhed,
T. A Bean and hundreds of others who can
see American fairness and human rights, in
both the state and interstate laws, which
govern the great and grasping systems that
have no interest in the welfare of the vast
agricultural world. His position is the
choice of the masses, not the bosses, and the
people will see that he does not have to re-
peat his widespread position in order TO
please the technical wishes of the boss on the
one hand and the kids on the other.
Let the g. o. p. bosses kick him out if they
wish to. OLD-LlNE REPUBLICAN,.

"ONE A DAY"

SOLOMON was right when he said the
wicked flee where no man pursueth.
The bard hit it in the same strain when
he spoke of conscience being the pro-
life source of cowardice. Here is con-
firmation. A Chicago paper seeking to
advertise itself sent out postal cards the
other day all over the Western states,
on which were the cabalistic words,
Zone a Day''-only that and nothing
more. The key to the mysterious SEN
tence followed the next day, explaining
that the newspaper could be had for a
penny day. But the joke of it was
that one of the zone Day" cards
reached the office of the Des Moines
Register, whose editor is member of
the national Republican commit.
tee. AS soon as CLARKSoN's eye
fell on the mysterious words
it was settled in his own mind
that it had reference to BENJAMIN
HARRIsoN's remarkable statement that
a dollar day was enough for working
men. In the next mornings issue the
leading editorial in the Des Moines Reg
lister rang with denunciation of Demo-
cratic campaign methods, and referred
directly to the postal card with the lone
a day. legend that the Democrats were
accused of sending out. 1t was not un-
til the next day that Brother CLARKsoN
received the key from the Chicago
newspaper, and then he wanted to pay
the Office boy quarter TO take him out
and kick him for his obtusenesS. This
''one day. business is sore one for
the Republican bosses, and if the Chi
cago publisher has any regard for Re
publican sensibilities he will word his
advertising cards differently hereafter.

THAT IMAGINARY VETO.

The facility of the Pioneer Press in
constructing straw men and then knock
ing them down was strikingly Illus
trated in it's editorial article yesterday,
under the heading of ''An Indefensible
Veto" in which it proceeded to tear to
pieces an imaginary veto message ac-
credited to Mayor SMITH, when, as
matter of fact. no such message was in
existence, and if it had been, the Pio-
neer Press had no means of knowing it.
The people of this city know Mayor
SMITH too well to suppose for one mo-
ment that he would interpoSe the veto
power for the purpose of defeating the
plain provisions of the law, and we
have no hesitation in saying that when
ever an ordinance is passed by the coun-
Gil providing for redistricting of the
city without having attached to it res
olution eXtraneouS to the subject, and
the only purpose of which is to secure
an unjust partisan advantage, Mayor
SMITH will approve the ordinance.
SO far as the so-called redistrictlng or
dinance, adopted by the council at the
last regular meeting, is concerned, the
facts are as follows: Just on the eve OF
adjournment Aid. SANBoRN offered
what was understood to be an ordl-
nance of the character indicated, which
was passed without consideration or
discussion. 1t embodied three resolu-
tions, two of which provided for redls-
tricting, and to which no objection
could be made, but the third one pro-
posed an innovation respecting the ap-
pointment of election judges as unfair
as it was uncalled-for. The old system
of appointing election judges has been
to require each alderman to nominate
the judges for his particular ward. The
SANBoRN plan proposed to take it
out of the hands Of the alder
men, and to lodge that power in
the special committee on redstricting.
Whether Mayor SMITH proposes to veto
the SANBoRN ordinance because Of the
Objectionable character of the third res
olution, above referred to, remains to be
seen, but if he does not we are mistaken
in the man. There has been no Opp0r-
tunity to hear from the mayor on this
matter, because there has been no regu-
lar meeting of the council since the
SANBoRN resolutions were passed. and
there will be none until next Tuesday
night. 1t would be beneath the dignity
of his Office to enter into newspaper
discussion or to make public his views
in advance of his official action.
The existing plan for appointing cleo
ton judges is eminently satisfactory,
and no fairer one could be devised.
The fact that the author of the proposed
change did not have confidence in
either its merit or its practice is DEM
onstrated by the fact that he did not
offer it as a separate proposition, but
chose, instead, to tack it on to an ordi-
nance that every one knew to be in
accord with the plain provisions of the
law. We expect Mayor SMITH to veto
the SANBoRN ordinance, but not from
any such motives as the Pioneer Press
charges him with in its man-of-straw
article yesterday.

Thoughts For Workmen.

san L frdnclScO Examiner.
You are supposed to be the chief ben
ficiaries of the war tariff. To improve
your condition is alleged to be the single
aim of its advocates. You have a right
then to demand all the advantages that
you are told it can afford you. Suppose
you see whether you are getting them.
There are, on a generous estimate, per-
hapS 10000 workers in protected indus
tries in California. By protected indus
tries we mean, of course, industries the
price of whose products is artifcially
kept up by the tariff. OF these 10000
fully $4,000 are Chinese.
The people of California pay at least
$40, 100000 year to ''prOtect American
labor" That means to protect you, the,
5000 white workers in the protected in
duStrieS of CalifOrnia-for of course the
workers in other states are supposed to
be cared for by the taxes paid by their
neighbors.
Suppose the $1,000 Cinnamon average
SO week apiece, their total wages
amount to S7,S00,000 year. That leaves
S12, 100000 for you, or about $4,000
apiece.
In other words. the people of Cali
fOrnia are taxing themselves enough to
pay you average wages of $500 a year.
supposing that all your wages have to
come out of their taxes and nothing out
of the returns of your employers busi1
ness.
Do you get it? You help to pay the
bills, but do you get the reward?
Unless the average ''protected''
worker in California is receiving s., 500
a year, somebody is swindled.

pert engineer and by representatives Of
the companies, demonstrated that the
supply is entirely sufficient to meet all
demands made upon it except IN a few
particulars, which have since been
remedied.
Though any cause for complaint is
now shown to be non-existent, the in
Surance men have not receded from
their former position. They are main
tanning the increased rate just as though
the water supply had been found INSULT
cient and their business rendered there
by extra hazardous. In this course they
have no justification whatever. 1t is an
imposition to which the business men
are not likely to submit.
Ii their demand for the readjustment
of rates on reasonable basis is not
needed, it may occur that the companies
will have to consider the contingency of
the business men uniting for self-lnsur-
ance. The simplest solution of the
question is an immediate return to the
old rate.

1T ISN'T RIGHT

Young men, to number that is actu-
ally astonishing, are in the Twin Cities
to-day looking for work. They are for
its, excellent education, unbounded en-
ergy, and ready to turn their hands to
anything. No consideration of false
pride prevents them from seeking
work, manual us we'll as intellectual, in
every possible quarter; yet most of them
meet with no success whatever.
There is not newspaper Office in
either city, for instance, which does not
average dozen applications week for
work, the applicants being young men
who could undoubtedly make them
selves valuable. But there is no room
for them. Something, then, is wrong.
What is it?
The two cities are prosperous. Every
branch of business is fiourishing. EN-
ployment is being given to more people
than ever before i'll their joint history.
Why, then, should there be the large
number of unemployed? The reason
probably lies in the injudicious en-
thuSiasm of those who have been sue
cessful in the Northwest, and who,
without stopping to take into account
the difficulties in the way, or without
making any estimate at all of the op-
pertunities, advise their friends in
other parts of the country to come here
and make their fortunes.
In this righteousness individuals
are not alone concerned. Several firms
and corporations have also been guilty
of the same short-sighted enthusiasm.
A case in point is local corporation
which recently induced fifteen OF
twenty young men to come to st. Paul
and take positions with it. A miscalcu-
latioD had been made, and the young

THE INSURANCE RATE.

There can be no possible doubt about
the position of the st. Paul jobbers in
demanding reduction of the insurance
rate. In simple fairness, the insurance
men should have reduced the rate with
out any pressure at all. There is no
complication about the matter. 1t is
simplicity itself.
Some time ago the representatives of
the Insurance companies decided that
the water supply of the wholesale dis
trict was inadequate, and that, such
being the case, they could not continue
to do business safely at the same rate.
In taking this position they were, of
course, amply justified. But compre-

WOOLEN MANUFACTURE.

A comparison OF Costs in Rep
resentative Industry Shows That
Goods Can Be Manufactured
Over Five Cents Per Pound
Cheaper in America Than in
England.
The pauper labor ghost, on investiga-
ton, turns out to be much like other
ghosts-it will drop its white sheet and
run bowling away if you hit it over the
head with some good hard facts. If
European pauper labor' means any
thing it means that the same amount of
work will be done in Europe for less
remuneration than here. and if this is
true as general rule, it should GER
tainly apply to an industry such as the
manufacture of wOOlen goods. But it
doesn't.
j. SchOenhof, United States consul at
Tunstall. Stafford county, England, has
been investigating the cost of manufact-
ure of various fabrics, cotton and
woolen, in England. and comparing the
results with those obtained from similar
Investigations in America. The last
report, Special Issue No. "a, contains
comparison of the American and Eng
liSh cost of manufacturing all wool
dress goods. The class of goods exam
ined was sackings. In America they
are largely used for ladies' dress. They
are made of carded wool, and are of
plain flannel weave. Their manufact-
ure therefore includes the processes of
flannel manufacture and other opera
tions peculiar to the making of ladies'
cloth.
A factory in Massachusetts which
makes this line of goods furnished the
figures for America la Leeds factory for
England. The net results are given in

Harrison and Whisky.

milwaukee, JOURNAL.
Harrison and cider" i'll 1910. have
been replaced by Harrison and free
whisky in 1888, with a temperance at
tachment, but we do not think the COM
bination will work. Honest men of both
parties see and know that tax and treas
ury surplus reduction are the only real
issues of this canvass. 1t cannot be
sung out of their minds. The average
tariff taxation in 1910, with only 1862
453 population, was about II per cent,
while now, with 60,000,000, it is AIS per
cent, and of this at least q per cent is
donated as bounty to special class of
wealthy citizens. Their contest is to
hold on to this subsidy. To do this all
intend to keepi it. 1t is just this issue
they purpose to keep out of the public
sight. Anything but the truth is their
maxim.
