AS we predicted, this Sikkim bust

determined not to give .upiheir claim
to the little State, and are collecting

our position at Gnatong, and were

one hundred Of them were killed
before they fed, and it is stated
hat the Colonel in command has
asked and has received from the
Viceroy permission to follow The in
vadors into Tibet itself. We only
lost three killed and seven wounded !;
but how long is this sort of contest to
go on? The Tibetans can keep it up
for years, expanding a few hundred
men every year; and how are they to

THE editor of the Osakis Observer fol-
lowed up Rowell & Co.'S "news item" ad. .
pretty close. He is very severe on the
directory publishers, but we don't think
his wrath should all be expended upon
the heads of the advertising agents, who
certainly have right to conduct bust
ness as well as the Observer man. The
newspaper publisher has no one but
himself to blame if he takes an adver-
tisement below paying rates. The live
business man will advertise, and il he
finds he can't secure good rates through
the agencies he will very soon be ready
to treat with first hands. All the news
papers have to do is to quote the agen-
cies rates, which after the commissions
are out will net hun regular home rates.
If this rule was adhered TO, the para

JAKE SHARP, the convicted briber of
Naw V.O-k nlaA-rnara, died in Nv ToFk
city Thursday. The history of this no.
torious character, who learned by better
experience that "the way OF the trans
gressor is hard )" is interesting. He was
born of poor parents in Montgomery
County, New York in 1917. He passed
his boyhood and early manhood in Troy,
and soon identified himself with rail-
reading. Then he specuIated in logs
and timber, and finally built docks on
the water fronts of this city. He con-
structed numerous street railroads In
this city, and finally carried through his
pet scheme of thirty years and the
source of his misery, the Broadway sur
face railroad. His efforts in this direc-
ton are pretty well known. He strug-
gled for years before the Legislature un-
til finally he got his scheme through.
Then he applied to the notorious board
of alderman of 1884 for franchise and
received it. Numerous investigations
followed, all but two of the aldermen
were indicted, several were convicted
and finally Sharp himself was tried for
bribery and was convicted nearly year
ago. His case was taken to the higher
courts and a new trial granted. Mr..
Sharp has declared all along that he
could never stand the strain of another
trial and when his case was called some
days ago, it was found he was at deaths
door.

IT is CLEARLY shown from replI

IT is clearly shown from replies to the
inquiries recently made by the Pioneer
Press that high license has had whole
some effect in Minnesota and that the
people of the state are heartily in favor
of the law. It is found that the law has
worked well in all cities, and that the
effect has been beneficial, not only in
the sense of increased revenue, but in
the diminution of the number of sa-
looms and in elevating the character of
those that are in operation under the
law. With the single exception of Car
yer county the law has been rigidly en-
forced. In that county II is reported
that only seven saloons took out licenses
under the new law, but that all the old
ones are running wide open, and no
particular effort has been made to pros
ecute the saloonists. 1t is safe to say,
however, that public sentiment will
soon compel the officers of the county
to take some vigorous measures to save
themselves from public condemnation.
The conclusion to be drawn from the
result of the Pioneers inquiries is that
the people of the State favor high Ii
cense and that in their coming conven-
ton the Republicans should plainly
state their position in favor Of the prin-
clple,

Hoerr presiding. The election returns
were canvassed and all the business OF
the council wound up.
Alderman Pitcher, Lamm and Dough

receiving majority of the votes was de-
clared elected and the water bonds were
declared carried.
Henry M. Pohl was gwen permission
to transfer his saloon license from 2I7 to

We have just received copy Of the
catalogue of the library of the Minneso-
ia Historical Society, one of the most
important and valuable institutions the
State possesses. The society was organ
lied in 1849, and chartered by the first
territorial legislature. 1t is, therefore,
the oldest State institution, and its IL
brsry is the largest and most valuable
in Minnesota. 1t now contains sos
bound, and IL, al unbound volumes
total %, 176; all of these are valuable and
many of them very rare. Among them
are 1900 bound volumes of Minnesota
newspapers, reaching back to 1849.
There are also roo maps, considerable
museum of curiosities, collection of
historical paintings and portraits and
other pictures, and valuable autographs.
The library is situated in the Capitol
building, st. Paul. 1t is free for the use
of any citizen. 1t solicits gifts of good
books of any kind, especially all publ
cations relating to the State.

IT is said that Senator Sherman does
not look with favor upon the proposi-
ton to have Governor Foraker present
his name to the Chicago convention.
The Senator is fully satisfied as to For
aker's loyalty, but he has very vivid
recollection of scene in the convention
of 1880, when the call for % Garfield "
took all the wind out of that great ora
tors eloquent plea for Mr.. Sherman.
Governor Foraker Is another just such
" taking man as Garfield and though
lacking the eloquence of Garfield yet he
can electrify and enthuse an audience
on very short notice, while the latter
never forgets the personality of the man
addressing it. 1t would never be safe to
predict what might happen if Foraker
should appear before the Chicago con-
vention, and it would be much better for
Senator Sherman if, as has been suggest
ed, his name could be presented by ex-
President Hayes, or some of the other
good men which abound IN OHIO.
There is, we suppose, no likelihood that
General Hayes could be prevailed upon
to accept delegateship.

A PHASE of the tariff discussion which
we called attention to Saturday is still
better presented by the Cincinnati Times
Star, as follows:
Medill, Hurd and the entire squad of
free traders contend that wool-growers
have never been, are not now and never
can be benefited by tariff on wool; vet
every club and society of wool-growers,
from the smallest county organization to
the National Association has repeatedly
declared by resolution the almost unani-
nous opinion that protection has been
and is advantageous TO them and that
their interests would be promoted by
higher rates of duty on wool. This pre-
sents the question, Do the professors of
free tradeism who never saw q sheep
sheared or fleece sold know more about
the experience of farmers under the
varying tariffs of this country than the
farmers themselvesp Again, in regard
TO raw materials the free traders are as
sorting that manufacturers demand the
free listing of these articles and must
have cheaper materials If they are to
continue production at profit. Consid-
er in connection with this the fact that
$50 manufacturers in New England the
proprietors of the largest establishments

ware, boots and shoes, silk, worsted,

THE story now goes that President
Cleveland will use the vacancy on the
supreme court bench as an opportunity
to fix up several little matters that have
been worrying him. The plan is to APP
point Senator Gray, of Delaware, 10 the
chief justiceshIp, which will give Bay
ard an opportunity to retire from the
cabinet and 20 back to the senate. The
conclusion is that Cleveland dou't think
Bayard has been blooming success as
secretary of state and in the event of
the Presidents reelection he expects to
make reorganization of the cabinet; or
in case the administration is retired, as
is probable, Mr.. Bayard would be COM
fortably esconced in his old scat in the
senate. 1t is all very finely figured out,
but if Mr.. Cleveland wants to secure
public approval he will be trihe slow
to use the position of chief justice
to further his own personal wishes and
advantages. The people would very
severely denounce the Gray plan, and
he had better make other arrange
ments.

EDITOR BLETHEE, of the Minneapolis

and witnessed the filibusterng of the
Southern brieadiers in opposition TO the

scene and he sends his paper the follow

has ever occurred during an important
session of congress. Oates of Alabama
has held the House now four days, by
dilatory motions, in order 10 prevent q
vote on the bill to refund to the states

in 1862. The solid South does not de-

the South can be reimbursed for her

000,0 600. Inasmuch as this cotton was
not destroyed IN the interest of the I'M
ion, the Republican congressman are
not favorably disposed toward this cot
ton scheme. The Justice of the bill is
apparent to ell. The absurditY of the
cotton claim is more apparent. Yet
Oates of Alabama, with SIX other solid
Democrats, has held the business Of this
congress by the throat for four days,
and swears he will stay by his position
all summer, If necessary to accomplish
his purpose. In view Of the fact that
nothing has been done toward the rev.
enue legislation, and in view of the
Presidents message. now more than
four months old, and the further tact that

sympathy from the South in behalf of

THERE are few readers of this paper
who can not remember when almost ev-
cry manufacture that can be mentioned,
calico, nails, clothing, paper, etc, was
twice, and in many cases three times as
dear as it is now. What has brought
this about2 Simply competition among
the manufacturers of this country, a
competition which a protective tariff
only makes possible. This reduction of
prices which has undeniably come about
under the present protection system is
the one great proof of its blessings to
this country, and it is a proof that no
free trader ever attempts to controvert.

ONE witness before the congressional
investigating committee said there
has been no ,civil-service reform in Illi-
nois." That seems to be about the state
of affairs in Pennsylvania. The investi-
cations into the affairs of the Philadel-
phia postofice closed Saturday, and
demonstrated three things beyond dis
pute /: First, that partisan changes had
been made without regard to the Presi-
dents civil-service reform pledges, and
these changes had seriously crippled the
service second, that Federal officials
had freely and openly participated In
political conventions, the Presidents
order to the contrary notwithstanding
third, that President Cleveland has be-
slowed public offices as rewards for par
tisan services regardless of his pledges
against such action.
