CONGRESS.

s'What will congress do?" asks the
Chicago Times. Why not put the ques-
lion in an easier form. and ask what
congress will not do? We are sure that
there is great deal will be left undone
that ought to be done, while there is no
assurance that anything that ought to
be done will be done. We have a great
deal of congress in this country with
out much to show for it, except con-
gressionai record, printed at great eX-
pense, which nobody reads, not even
the congressman. Outside of the APP
preparation bills, which are part of the
necessary routine work of each congress.
there is scarcely session when doz-
ell bills of general public interest are
passed. Perhaps it is better SO, for as a
rule the bills of a general nature that
are passed could be dispensed with
And yet ii is hardly fair to blame con-
greSs for not legislating more. We are
rather to be congratulated that the coun-
try is in that happy condition that it
doesn't need much legislation; conse-
quently the people of this country are
not half so much interested in knowing
what congress will do as they are in
knowing what it will not do

Morton S. Wilkinson on Tariff Re
q duction.
q Hon. Morton S. Wilkinson replies to
Sthe inquiry of the GLOBE as follows:
10 the Editor of the Globe.
q You ask me whether or not [ believe
that the election of President Harrison
means cessation of tariff reform as in
augurated by President Cleveland S
message and the Mills biIl?''
| hayesno doubt but that the Eastern
monopoliSts mean to crush out and sup
press all tariff reform ideas among the
people as twas advocated by Mr.. CIeve-
land. But do not think the election of
Harrison will bring about that result.
This reform has been started and it will
go on. Our defeat will not kill nor seri-
ously cripple it. The largest and most
important interest of the country is
agriculture, and that interest is the most
directly interested in this question. The
farming people yield up their prejudices
in favor of monopoly slowly and re-
Iuctantly, but these prejudices will
give way when they come to realize
the depression of that interest and the
unjust burdens that are imposed upon
it by the monOpoliStS of the East. [ do
not think that anything further will be
done with the senate bill. l doubt if it
was intended by Its authors to become
law. do not believe that the in
coming administration will dare to re-
commend that the exorbitant duties on
iron, and woolen and cotton goods, and
lumber should be retained when it is
realized how largely these articles enter
into the necessities of life and industry
with the agricultural people of the
country.
1t is too early to say whether protec-
ton or tariff reform triuHphed in the
late election. To settle this question
we must wait and see what the success
full party will do. Certain il is that
tariff reform did not triumph in this
election, but whether protection. as 1T
is now understood. did, is a question
that is yet to be settled. And here will
come the doubt, the heSitancy and un-
certain action of the successful party,
for it is certain that this tariff reform
question having been once raised, will
not down until some of the excessive
tariff taxes are reduced. Yours truly,

NO CHANGE In SPIRIT.

In the congressional districts Of this
state, during the late campaign, the
most direct fight made for and against
tariff reduction as eXpounded by PreSi-
dent CLEVELAND was that Waged by
MORTON S. WILKINSON and Congress
man JOHN LIND. Mr.. WILKINSON
fought his battle for lower taxes in the
homes of the farmers, and Mr.. LIND.
fresh from Washington. with the utter
anee upon his lips II am more of pro-
tectionist than ever" was forced to
meet him on the same field. How gal
Iantly Mr.. WILKINSON made his attack,
and how far the sentiments of the
farmers were with him, needs no better
illustration than i'll the returns, which
show majority for LIND less 1000 votes
received by him in 1886. Mr.. WILKIN-
son comes from the fray stronger i'll
purpose than when he entered it. OF
the cause which he championed he
writes:
"This reform has been started. and it
will go Oh. One defeat will not kill or
seriously cripple it,
This is but one sample of the feeling
prevalent among all the Northwestern
defenders of tax reduction. They accept
the defeat of the Democracy in the true
spirit: they witness the retirement of
President CLEVELAND i'll calmness; but
for tariff reduction they admit no defeat,
no disaster, no retreat.

MORE JUDGES.
A Comment Upon Attorney Gen

A Comment Upon Attorney Gen
era! Clapp's Recommendation.
To the Editor of the Globe.
1t is said that Attorney General Clapp
has officially or otherwise advised that
two or more judges be added 10 our SUI
preme court, as the business before it
is accommodating much faster than the
bench can dispose of it for the general
good of the public, and that it is already
somewhat behind, all of which is prob
ably true and something should be done
for its relief. Criminal cases appealed
to the supreme court in particular
should be decided as soon thereafter as
possible, for if the accused are imme-
after conviction hurried to the
+, penitentiary, and If an unjust convic-
ton has Detn had III any case. OF If the
accused is innocent of the crime
charged, there should be no longer delay
or confinement in prison than to give
| the court time to ascertain the facts.
And to this end it might be much better
for the legislature to make provision
iathat every crimal case appealed to the
supreme court should be taken up for
|; Immediate decision without waiting to
reach them at term time, thereby giving
J. them besides precedence over all other
| business
But itinay be that if our legislature
could be induced, by offering it pre-
Fmium, or by moral persuasion, to let
the laws alone instead of constantly,
under the pretense of amending, patch:
| them up, then patching the patch at
| every session, SO that it would not take
| the supreme court -one-half its time
eipherng out what the legislature,
through its new members, had been
| driving at; then NOT to tear them all
into pieces, or change them as soon as
| the lawyers and courts had reached an
| understanding Interpretation of them,
| a large flow of business into that court
| might be stopped, and we might not
need any more working force On the
supreme bench than we now have, to
increase our taxes. 1t may be difficult
| to so muzzle the ambition of the MEM
! bers of the legislature, or convince them
that they should seek fame in another
| direction, than constantly amending
| laws which are already good enough,
and are thoroughly understood, but if
their glory must have a beginning in
that body, let them adopt something
! less expensive TO their constituents. As

Queen Victoria Receives Her
Daughter, the Dowager En-
press, with Much Warmth.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The royal yacht
bearing the Empress Frederick of Ger
many and her daughters and the Prince
of Wales reached Port Victoria this
morning. Queen Victoria and the
Processes Louise and Beatrice left
Windsor this morning to greet the en-
press on landing. They were joined at
the Waterloo station of the London d
Southeastern railway in London by
Count Won Hatzfeldt, the German am
baSsador. who accompanied them to
Port Victoria. There was only small
crowd at the stat on on the arrival of
the queens train, and there was no
cheering Dor uncoyering of haadS. The
day was overcast. The empress landed
shortly after the arrival of the royal
train at Port Victoria. When the greet
ings were over, the whole party boarded
the train and proceeded to Windsor.
The queen and Empress Frederick met
i'm the yachts saloon. The meeting was
affecting. On the way to Windsor, the
train stopped at the Waterloo station,
and Count Won HatZfeldt alighted. The
train was moving on, when the queen
remembered that she had omitted to
invite him to be her guest at Windsor,
as she had intended to do. Princess
Beatrice therefore called out from the
window, and the Duke of Cambridge
from the platform of the car, ''Count
Won HatZfeldt, you will accompany us
to Windsor" The count bowed his as
sent, but the train had started, and he
was compelled to take later one. 1t is
evident the failure to invite him sooner
was an oversight, and that no slight was
intended.
Count Won Hatzfeldt, the German
ambassador, had long interview with
Lord Salisbury at the foreign office, this
afternoon on the subject of the rail
road station incident, on the occasion
of the arrival OF the Empress Fred
erick, which he was inclined to regard
as snub. Lord Salisbury endeavored,
with i'll success, to pacify the German,
but telegram from the queen explain
ing and regretting the oversight,
smoOthed matters over, and Hatzfeldt
went away content, subsequently re-
appearing to Windsor, where he was
dined and flattered until no vestige of
resentment remained in his bosom.

Louis, Destroyed by Fire.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 19.-The famous
s'Doris Mansion in the West End,
burned this morning. The imposing
structure. which cost IN the neighbor-
hood of 100000, was totally destroyed.
The INSURANCE. is not more than one
fourth that amount. The mansion was
erected by the late Gen. Doris for a
homestead, and remained in the posses
sion of the family until the terrible
tragedy of six years ago, when Rus
sell Brown, grandson of Mrs.
Gen. Doris, assisted by Patrick
McGlew, Chicago bar-tender,
smothered his grandmother to death in
order to secure some money and jew
elry to continue debauch he and Nc
Glew had been on for some time prior.
The youthful murdererS were convicted
and sentenced to fifteen years each in.
the penitentiary at Jefferson City, the
trial attracting widespread attention az
the time. Russell Brown escaped from
the penitentiary and is still at large.
Pat McGlew died within the prison
walls some two years since. The Doris
mansion" has of late been utilized as a
house of public comfort, being in the
extreme western portion of the city,
and the resort is the most widely known
of any st. Louis public house, owing to
the tragic history connected with it.

A Clue to the Slayers Of Paymaster
Mcclure and His Companion.
Special to the Globe.
WLKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 19.-What
is thought to be a clue to the muir
derers of Mcclure and Flanagan was
discovered to-day. A wood-chopper
found a Winchester rifle in
the woods, about three-quarters of
mile from the scene of
the double tragedy. The location of the
rifle leads the detectives to believe that
after shooting the two men, the murder
ers fled through the forest to the Erie
railroad, where they probably boarded
a train. Pinkerton men who are en-
gagged on this case do not accept this
theory, but believe that the owner of
the rifle lives In this neighborhood.

FRANCE Will STAND PAT.
The Republic Will Not Assist in
SURPRISING Slavery.

PARIS. Nov. l9.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day NJ. Goblet, minister of
foreign affairs, stated that France had
not engaged to cooperate with Eng
land and Germany in blockade OIL the
coast Of East Africa. Both powers, he
said, had requested permission from
the French government to search ships
flying the French flag which were sus-
pected of being engaged in the slave
trade or importing arms into Africa.
The government had replied that to
search for arms was Il natural result Of
an effective blockade. but it could not
recognize the right of England or Ger
many to search all vessels under the
french flag. Certain abuses due to the
slave trade might have arisen, but they
did not have the gravity with which it
was sought to invest them. They were
not to be compared with those perpe-
trated in the interior or on the coast of
North Africa. Nevertheless. a French
war ship would be sent TO prevent slave
trading being conducted under the
French flag. If further action was pro-
posed M. Goblet declared that he would
be guided by circumstances. without in
any way sacrificing the traditions, dig
nifty or interests of the country. NJ.

Hinted At.
Morton s. wilkinson Writes
Of the Effects Of Harri-
sons Election.
The Proposal to Add to the
Supreme Court Bench
Criticised.

Ignatius Donneliy returned yesterday
from lecturing tour through the Black
/ Hills. OF his rumored election contest,
he said:
"No, l shall not contest the election
of MI. Haggeny to the legislature. My
defeat will not affect my candidacy for
the United States senate. 1t would be a
pity if the votes of eighty bought-up
cusses could end the career of man
who had been in public life for thirty
years. Not being member of the house
and unburdened with lawmaking
duties, | can devote more time to my
candidacy. If the railroads, with their
money, think that they have ended me,
they are badly mistaken"
Mr.. Donnelly thinks that Sabin has a
large number of the legislators pledged
to him already.
The politiciaun had hold of morsel
yesterday that they were rolling under
their tongues. 1t was passed around
the Merchants Hobbies without cOnfir-
nation. 1t was to the effect that Sena-
tor Davis was certain to be cabinet
officer under the new administration,
and that Merriam was to appoint Sabln
to the vacancy created in the senate.
Merriam would then succeed Sabin two
years from now, and Washburn be
elected this winter. A friend of Mr..
Merriam'S laughed at this, and said in
comment:
MIR. Merriam is not in this senatorial
fight unless there is deadlock, in
which case he might light let his name
be used instead of waiting until 1890.
The Sunday editorial in the Pioneer
Press on Washburn means that Mer-
RAMS friends want Minneapolis given
boost this time, because they will
need Hennepin votes two years hence.
If neither WaSfburn nor Sabin can win,
then Merriam will be sprung in prefer
ence to any new man."
There is probably much truth in this
last statement. for it has been made by
several other Merriam men besides the
one quoted.
