THE Minneapolis Journal referring to
or recent curiticism of the efforts of the
various district conventions to enlarge
upon the National tariff plank and give
the position of the Republican party
upon tariff reform, asks "What is the
matter with the FREE PREss?" It further
inquiries:
What is there in the Republican
National platform to justify the conclu-
sion that the Republican party, while
supporting the principle of protection,
does not believe in adjusting the ine-
qualities of the tariff? The platform doe
not say that the Republicans are OPP
posed to judicious tariff reforms.
OF course it doesn't, and we have
many times stated that "the record of
the party says they are in favor of it.
In fact it shows that we have had no
tariff reform, except such as the Repub-
licans have enacted" There is nothing
the matter with the FREE PREss-only
we do not like to see Minnesota Repub-
licans taking the advice of fellows who
stand on free trade-Democratic plat
form and who are objecting to the Ma
tional Republican platform as not being
explicit enough on the tariff question.
We think the Republicans of this state
may very safely tie to the plank which
was adopted with such enthusiastic
unanimitv at Chicago. Attempts to inn
prove upon Its provisions are doubtless
meant well enough, but they are in very
bad taste.

MANKATo, July 22.-Among the liberal
Republicans of this city general satisfac-
ton is expressed with the action OF
Knute Nelson on the Mills BILL The
sentiment for continuance of the high
tariff Is not strong there, and Congress-
man Lind's course Is notapproved of ex-
cept by the Blame Republicans. The
Democrats OF the Second district are
united for tariff reform, and Lind thor
oughly misrepresents them in voting as
he did.
The above appears in Mondays Globe
and is surmounted by a chestnntty car
toon which that paper brings out ever
and anon when it desires to abuse Con-
gresham Lind for having too much in
dependent manliness to toady to its
dictates. As for the statements in the
dispatch, which was doubtless written
in the Globe Office, we have no heeistancy
in saying that Mr.. Lind's vote on the
Mills bill Is approved by the Blaine Re-
publicans, while 1t may not at all please
the Democrats. Inasmuch as the cleo
tion by which Mr.. Lind went to Wash
ington showed that the former were
about 10000 in excess of the latter we
presume Mr.. Lind will not lie awake
nights Worrying over the dispIeasure Of
the Democrats. 1t would be a queer
sort of representative who would take
the minority of bis district as express
ing the sentiments which he should car
~ out. AS to Mr.. Nelson's vote, we are
not aware that any Republicans here
abouts, liberal or otherwise, are greatly
interested or exercised about how the
Fifth district man voted. The impression
80 far as we can hear is that Mr.. Nelson
misrepresented his constituency by his
vote-doubtless thinking that as he was
not going back to the House he could af-
ford to indulge in his hobby. How bad
la mistake he made will become evident
10 him one of these days.

The Republican state central comm

THE Republican state central commit
tee met at st. Paul Thursday and de-
cided that the date for holding the COM
ing state convention should be Wednes-
day, September 9Th. This is very good
time as it will give farmers plenty of
time to finish their harvest and will
keep the campaign from being tediously
long. The gubernateriol question did
not cut any figure in the decision, so
far as can be seen. The representation
will be the same as the State convention
held last May, except that each county
will have one more delegate-at-large,
thus making two delegates at large from
each. The basis for the May conven-
ton was one delegate at large from each
county and one for every 1863 votes or
major fraction thereof, computed from
the average vote for all state officers
cast in 1886. The May assemblage had
1859 members, and by the addition of
eighty-one members, the total next Sep
TENDER will reach 450-the largest con-
vention of the kind ever held in Mime

OBERLIN, Ohio, and the college located
there have national reputation for ed
ucation and the highest Christian cul-
ture. Everything tending to practical
reform and the highest good ofthe coun-
try take front rank there and the fox
lowing significant advice clipped from
the Oberlin Neps is commended to the
attention of Prohlbitionists:
The very best thing our friends, the
third party prohibitlonists, can do this
year is to close up business. 1t is q
demonstrable fact that their continu-
ance in the field is an obstacle in the
way of substantial advance in tenn
perance reform. They lack even
the prestige ofever having accomplished
anything more beneficial or tangible
than superfuous wind-work, and
whether designedly or not are subserv-
ing the purposes of the Democratic
party, which, as an organization, is no
torionsly ayerse to all legislation looking
to the abatement or restriction of the
liquor business. If there are any sincere
and practical men among them they
ought to march their columns into the
Republican camp, and offer their SER
vices where they could be turned to
some account.

OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

No section of the country is to-day at
tracing as much attention as Montana,
Oregon and Washington; Montana be-
cause it now ranks first in the produc-
ton of precious metals; Oregon, because
of its rich valleys, and Washington Ter
ritory by reason of its mild climate, tim
Der, coal, minerals and wonderful pro-
duction of fruits and cereals. The rapid
growth of Spokane Falls, with water
power exceeding even that Of Minneap-
oils; Tacoma, on Puget Sound, the ter
minus of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
with 1900 inhabitants; Seattle, 80 miles
distant, an energetic and thriving city,
mark this section of the Pacific North
west as one that offer peculiar induce
ments to those seeking new homes.

the belief that u pao :. -
logical legislation, when in reality its
one and only purpose has been for the
interest Of the Democratic party and
that the administration could make
poor sort Of pretense Of carrying out its
alleged feelings for tariff reform and
revenue reduction. 1t was framed to
suit the bosses in the Southern States
and the importers Of New York city
the two sections of country which are
expected to re-elect Grover Cleveland.
While retaining duty of76 per cent.
upon sugar in the interest of few
Louisiana planters, and at the dictation
Of Monopolist Hayemeyer, of New York,
the farmers of the West and Northwest
are robbed of their protection upon
wool, wheat, oats, fax seed, etc. While
compelled 10 pay royalty upon his
sugar, than which no article is in more
universal use, the agriculturist OF the
west is put at the mercy of the Australian
wool grower and the Manitoba grain
farmer. This is but one of the many
ubiquitous features of this measure
which has been paraded before the
country in the name Of Democratic tariff
reform. Its faults have been glaringiY
pointed out in the debate in the House
and many Democrats have been tempt
ed to take manly stand against those
features which promised destruction
to the interests of their constituents.
But the policy of threats, dictation and
bossism practlced by the administration
to force the measure through have been
successful. Members who seemed to be
wavering were boldly warned that their
political future would be wrecked unless
they obeyed the mandate of Boss Cleye-
land and voted for this measure of sham
and iniquity.
Asa result ofall this strenuous effort the
bill received 1872 votes out of 325 in the
house-one less than a majority-while
I49 voted against it, twelve were paired
and two lodged, one of them being Fo-
ran of Ohio, who couldn't swallow free
wool Randall was paired against the
bill, and the four Democrats who voted
against it were the only remnant of his
party followers firm enough to resist the
influences brought to bear upon them
by the administration. The Republicans
who voted for the bill were Fitch of New
York and Nelson of Minnesota, whose
honest zeal for revenue reform was
stronger than his sense of discrimination
between the real and the sham.
The bill is dead. perfectly SO, and will
never be heard of again-and thus ends
another farcial attempt of the Democrat
ic party at tariff reform. 1t is much
more ignominious failure than Morri-
sons bill, which met similar fate in
the last congress. The President may
think that the passage of the Mills bill
will tend to uphold the sham position of
himself and party, but it will prove
mistake. The people clearly sec that
the Democracy stands upon awide-open
free trade platform-with just enough
protection for the solid south as viii
keep its electoral votes together for the
Democracy.

THE Minneapolis Sar-Nesrs is very
thoughtful to give out the information
that "Scheffer's great strength Is in the
country districts" The country people
would doubtless never have found it out
otherwise. But if what the Star Nesus

heretofore thought, that Scheffer's can
didacy will hardly be heard of in the
Republican convention.

to consider 1t the best sort of argument.

The Democrats and Greenbackers
have "fused" again in Michigan. The
Republicans have had to fight them both
in many previous campaigns, and there
is not likely to be much enthusiasm
aroused over Cleveland this year. Four
years ago Ben Buffers candidacy raised
the fusion vote to formidable figure,
but the working men are not likely to
rally about Cleveland's free trade doc
trine very cheerfully. 1t appears that
even in both of the parties they could
not find a decent candidate for governor
and had to take up a renegade Republi
can to head their ticket.

Obituary.

JOHN LEWIS SUMMERS was born near Wash
ington, Mason Co., Ky, Dec 26, 1926, and
died at his homo, two miles north Of Ran
som, La Sale Co., ILL.,, July IA, 1888
His father moved from Kentucky when
the subject of this memoir was yet mere
boy, locating at Decatur, Brown Co, Oaio.
In 1854 Mr.. Summers came to Illinois and
purchased the farm upon which he was liv-
ing at the time of his death. Returning to
Ohio he WAS married in S55, and soon after
he and Mrs. Summers came to Illinois and
lived on the farm for two years, then re
turned to Ohio, where they lived for twenty
years In 1875 they moved to Illinois and
again settled on the farm, bringing it up to
its present high state of improvement. Mr..
Summers belonged to the Ohio State Guards
and was called into active service in the
summer of 1868, when Gen. John Morgan
made his great raid through Kentucky into
Indiana and Ohio. subsequently he was
made Captain of Co. 1, l4l Regt, National
Guards.
Mr. Summers was man Of more than
ordinary intelligence and most agreeable
and entertaining Preside companion. He
possessed sterling qualities of mind and
heart. He was man of energy, precision,
and promptness, and his work was always
finished up to date. He was an affectionate
loy; fail ar tab
interest in his children, frequently express
ing wish to live to see all his children
educated. He never identified nimself with
any branch of the Christian church, but en-.
deavored to follow the Golden Rule AL.
though he was so precise and prompt in
looking after all the details Of business and
farm, he neglected to late hour personal
trust in personal Savior. He saw at q late
hour his need Of the Divine Christ On
Monday evening before his death he re
quested to be baptised, which request was
complied with, when he prsfessed faith in
Jesus Christ as his Savior and Redeemer.
His funeral services, conducted by Rev T.
C. Moots, we're held in the Ransom NJ. E.
church on Monday, July l6. A very large
congregation was in attendance upon the
funeral services. His remains we're laid to
rest in the beautiful cemetery near Ransom
The expression Of the entire community is:
A good citizen and obliging neighbor has
been taken from US. NJ.
