A Wararobe Replenished.

Officer Steele brought Harry Edwards
to the County Jail yesterday morning on
charge of petit larceny. He wanted .
pair of trousers, so he had his confed-
crate, who escaped and is not known,
engage the keeper of second hand store
in conversation while he made off with
the desired articles. He did not get far
before he was collared. Edwards has
seen the inside Of the County Jail several
times before.

A Chinese Riot.

There was small riot in Chinatown
last night about ten o'clock. 1t had
been brewing since early in the evening,
when two rival peddlers of fruits near
the Chinese theater engaged in quarrel.
Several policemen and few deputy con-
stables were required to reduce China
town to its usual state of quietude.

A Nut for Republicans to Crack,

The defeat of James &. Blaine, four
years ago, was not altogether the work of
Burchard and Curtis. The intelligent
independent Negro contributed his por-
ton to the success of the Democratic
party, and, judging from the number of
Negro independent clubs that are being
organized all over the country by such
prominent men of the race as J. Milton
Turner. of Missouri; Peter H. Clark, of
Ohio; J. L. Scott. of Illinois; T. Thos.
Fortune, of New York; ex-minister Tay-
lor, of Kansas Trottor, Matthews, Down
ing, Fisher, McCants Stewart, and scores
of Negro leaders, the death kuell of the
Republican party will be sounded unless
they change their tactics toward theNegro.
A great many white Republicans have an
idea that the Negro owes the party debt
Ct gratitude, and it is therefor his imper-
ative duty to vote the ticket no matter if
a dog is placed on it.
This is all rot, and the sooner the
party know it the better it will be for all
hands concerned. If there is any debt
of gratitude the Republican party owes
it to the Negro for his fidelity in keeping
the party together as long as he has.
Republicans of the Lincoln. Sumner,
Conklin, Butler and Oliver P. Morton
type were Republicans for principle.
These men are either all dead or
have abandoned the party altogether,
and their places are filed by unscru-
pulous and avaricious politicians
Ex-rebels and Negro haters have
joined the party for Doodle and office.
The Negro, correctly speaking, is the
only genuine Republican, still he is be-
ing used as cats-paw to pull the coveted
chestnuts out of the fire for the ex-rebels
and ward bummers calling themselves
Republicans to feast on. Hence the in
dependent movement all over the coun-
try. The Elerator, the oldest Negro jour
nal in the United States, published at
San Francisco, stands up in meeting and
speaks out boldly in favor of the indie
pendent movement in California.
So says the Observer, the journal Of the
Negro race in Los Angeles.

EVERY DAY TALKS ON THE TARIFF
How Free Wool Would Help Labor

AAO" ETec WOOL would Help La Dor
i'm a Good Many Ways.
Anything that tends to increase the
price OF a commodity tends to hinder or
lessen the production of that commodity.
The dearer the article the less the de-
mand for it. That's pretty plain, isn't it i?
On the other hand, anything that
tends to decrease the price of COM
modify makes it more accessible to the
common people and demands an
enhanced production OF it. The larger
the production Of an article the more
work there is for those producing it.
That's pretty plain, also, isn't it?
OF the total number of strikers 11S, 1897
were engaged in transportation or the
building trades, leaving ,917 as the
number of strikers or locked-out men in
manufacturing industries during the year
1887. Of this number. 1S3, ,9O9 or over S9
per cent, were corkers IN protected" IN
datStries.
It's pretty plain, then, that
II protection" protects, it protects
somebody besides the workingman,
isn't it? And yet the only rea-
son in the world for keeping up the whole
outrageous system of unnecessary taxes
is that it makes the workers happy and
wages high!
The fact is that the tariff has got little
or nothing to do with wages, high or low.
Wages are fixed in nine cases out of ten
by the condition of the surplus labor
market and by the forced schedules
which organized labor is everywhere try
ing to keep up and which organized cap
ital is everywhere trying to break
down. The tariff helps the manufac
turer to destroy competition in
the goods market, thus iniuring the
worker by restricting his field of en-
ployment and increasing his cost of liv-
ing. But the boss encourages competi-
ton in the labor market, the only market
that is of any use to the worker, for the
more competition there is there the
cheaper the employer will get his labor,
no matter whether tariffs are high or
low. Isn't it so? Just think over it for
a minute.
After the report of the Tariff Commits
sion of 1882 the duties on cotton goods
were increased from So to 40 per cent. on
the ordinary grade of goods. Upon some
higher grade of goods, where the duty
was about so per cent, it was raised to
about 75 per cent. This was done, OF
course, for the working man and would
afford him just as much higher wages.
But Immediately after the passage of the
bill there was general reduction of
wages in the New England cotton mills.
Five or six years ago the duty on COM
com glass bottles was increased by
nearly three hundred per cent. An in
crease in the price of bottles. a reduction
of wages and a strike by the workmen
for the old rate of pay was the result

REDWOOD FALLS. MINI, May l0.-The
grand jury today found indictments against
John CORES for murder in the first degree
and II. Schott for assault with intent TO hill.
torres is the man who killed. his hired man,
John Rosenkranz, about "A fortnight since.
He testified before the Coroner's jury that he
killed Rosenkranz with II ~pitchfork in self
defense. 1t transpires that since the inquest
a spade with hairs and bloody spots on it had
been found. The theory Of the prosecution is
that the blows were struck from behind. The
body has been exhumed, dccapitated, and the
head was before the grand jury today, and
will be used as evidence in the trial to con
tradict Cores testimony. Considerable ex-
element was caused by the production Of the
head, and the coroner vas besiegea today to
see it. The defense will cndeavored to prove
that the persons who eXhumed the body tam
pered with the skull after the dccapitation.
CORES viii plead in the morning. The state
is ready to proceed with the trial, which will
take place next week. County Attorney Mad
igan considers the chances excellent to prove
murder ia first degree.

rules and continue the debate on the admis-
sion of womes AZ lay delegates. Forty-one
delegates ut once sprang to their feet and
claimed the floor. Rev u. II. Moore, OF the
Erie conference, spoke in favor of admitting
women. Rev. J. 7. Edwards, Of the Detroit
conference, and editor Of the Northwestern
Advocate. opposed. Judge J. n. Taylor, lay
delegate from the st. Louis conference, made
an elaborate legal argument against admit
ting women TO vote at the present session.
Rev. DR.. y. II Bayliss, Of the Cincinnati con
ference, argued that the cor ference had the
right to construc the law in regard to the eli
yibility Of women. The vote was finally taken
on the adoption OF Rev. David h. Moore's
substitute for the report OF the committee.
II proposee that the women elected as lay del
egates to the present general conference be
seated, and the question OF their eligibility to
future general conferences be determined by
a vote of the churches and annual confer
cnces. The substitute was lost. Then a vote
was taken upon the amendment to the report

-George w. Grinnell, an extensive farmer,
was killed by his wife near this place yester-
day. Grinnell began drinking Yesterday
morning, and, as usual, abused his wife. He
beat her several times last winter. She swore
that If he repeated the offense she would kill
him. He hit her several times on the head
with a revolver. she fled, when he chased
her on horseback and tried To ride over her.
Then he got of the horse and in the tussel
she got him down and choked him to death
with a watch chain he wore around his neck.
She appears not TO realize that anything Grim
inal was done. Grinnell, when sober, was a
quiet, iuoffensive man. He was As years old
and his wife IS. The wife is a half-brecd In
dian. No officers have gone to the scene yet.
The coroner is expected in the morning from
Miner. Grinncll was a bonanza farmer and
had kept a saloon and postoflce for over ten
years.
