Where Rider Haggard Got the
Idea of the TattOoed Testa-
ment.
London Globe.
1t has been stated that the main idea
of this book was conveyed" from a
previous work by ALBERT. This may or
may not be so, but at all events l rim in
a position to suggest far more
more likely source for this curious
piece of fiction. Mr.. Rider Haggard
and myself happened to be called to the
bar at LincOln'S Inn on the same night
some few years ago. After the cere-
mOny the newly-made advocates took
wine together under the supervision of
the beucherS, according to ancient Gus
tom. Naturally enough, a number
of legal anecdotes, new and old,
were trotted out. and among them
one telling how an eminent chancery
lawyer was hoaxed by some of his pu-
pills. These ribald young men con-
cOcted an imaginary case in which
counsel was invited to say whether or
not will tattooed on PERSONS back
could be admitted to probate. If
recollect right the learned gentleman
wrote an elaborate opinion de-
Gliding the question in the affirm
alive. Now it is more than
probable that this story came to the
ears of Rider Haggard either on this or
some other occasion, for he moved in
legal circles for some little time and
practiced in the probate and divorce
courts. At any rate, since the appear
ance of "Mr. Nelson's WHIP | have al
ways assumed that the author had done
what he had perfect right to do; that
is, constructed his story upon the bare
idea of this anecdote, which was COM
mon property.

PLATE GLASS.

One of the most important CONNER
cial items in large city like st. Paul
is plate glass. 1t adorns the widows of
all our large buildings, stores and
offices. The sale of this article runs
up into the millions of dollars. This
country imported during the last year
plate glass to the amount of 81, 1SS. 595.
and paid a tax on it of $1,000, Goo
Think of it. The tax amounted to but
little less than the value of the goods.
Now there are just four manufacturing
establishments in the United States for
whose subsidy the country pays this ex-
orbitant tariff. The census Of 1880
shows that their whole product of that
year amounted to SS6S, sos, or not one.
half the tax paid annually on imported
plate glass. OF this SS6S, 305 about $780,
600 represented the tax which the con-
sumer paid to the manufacturers, max
ing at the very least S2,5OO,0O0 which we
pay yearly for the simple privilege
of buying less than that amounts worth
of glass. Now, OH what grounds do the
protectionistS attempt to justify this re-
markabIe pillage?
Simply on the preteXt that by paying
this tariff we protect these four manu-
facturers and enable them TO give good
wages to their employees.
But does it do this? The tariff we pay

CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS.
Several Gentlemen Who Are Will
ing to Be Sacrificed.

HoBoKEN, n. j., Sept. 22.-At the
Seventh district Democratic convention
this afternoon, Congressman McAdoo
was renominated for the fourth term.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 22.-T. E. Bur-
ton was nominated for congress to-day
by the Republicans of the Twenty-frst
district, which is made up of a part of
Cleveland and Cuayahoga counties.
DUBOIS, Pa, Sept. 22.-James Kerr,
of Clearfield, was nominated for con-
greSS by the Democrats in the Twenty
eighth district yesterday, on the fifth
ballot.
MILWAUKEE. Wis.,, Sept. 22.-The
Sixth district Republicans have renomi-
mated Congressman Charles S. Clark, of
Neenah, and passed the following reso-
luton:
"Resolved, That when the time comes
when we must decide whether the tax on
whisky or the tariff on sugar shall be re-
moved to keep our national revenue reduced
to level with the necessities or the govern
ment, we declare that the tariff ON sugar
should first be removed"
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 22-TheOdore
Il. Burton was nominated by the Re-
publieans of this, the Twenty-first, con-
gressional district to-day. The district
is naturally Republican, but has been
carried three times in succession by the
Democratic nominee, NJ. A. FOran. If
the latter is again renominated hot and
bitter fight is anticipated.

IN A HOLE.

The senate can no longer delay action
on the reprisals bill on the plea of igno-
rance. The information asked for in
Senator HOAR's resolution has been
applied. 1t is perfect vindication of
sthe management of the state depart
ment since Mr.. BAYARD was appointed
secretary of state in matters touching
the fisheries. There has been no delay
in dealing with the unfriendly acts of
the Canadian government except such
delay as the senate is now making in
arming the president with the power to
refuse to Canadians such facilities of
transit across our territory as the Do
minion government denies to our fisher
men who desire to ship fish in bond
from Canadian ports.

LOOK TO THE LEGISLATURE.

The GLOBE calls the attention OF the
voters in the various counties and leg
iSlative districts to the Importance OF
selecting fit persons to represent them
in the next state election. In the
hurIy burly of politics in a presidential
year, the minor offices are apt to escape
the attention that is due them. Inc
public mind is so carried away by the
excitement attending the presidential
and gubernatoriai contests, there Is a
possibility the fact that a legislature
is to be elected this fall will be measur-
ably overlooked.
The people of Minnesota have a more
direct interest in the character OF the
next legislature than they have in the
results of the presidential or guberna-
torial elections, and this is mere partic-
ularly true of the farming classes. Our
experience in the past has been SUI
ficient to teach US the importance OF
looking carefully after the legislative
candidates, for probably there is no
state in the union whose statute books
are weighed down with more crude leg
islatiOn or contain the records of more
successful jobberies than our own.
The GLOBE has a special reason for
calling the attention of the voters OF the
state to this matter at this time. We
know that at every meeting of the state
legislature the state house is invaded by
a gang of lobbyists who have all sorts
of Jobs and schemes for depicting the
state treasury, but in addition to this
fact, it so happens that the GLOBE has
knowledge of contemplated conspiracy
for capturing the next legislature in the
interest of a certain scheme which sur
passes in magnitude all the legislative
scullduggery of the past. 1t is not
necessary to go Into the details of the
conspiracy at this time, as they will be
unfolded later on when the occasion
requires.
The point we wish to make now is to
urge upon the voters to send none but
incOrruptible representatives to the
next legislature; to send only men whose
character for probity is so well eStab-
lished that the rascally lobbyists will
be afraid to approach them. In the
Democratic districts let the best and
purest men of the party be put on the
legislative ticket, and let the same be
done by the Republicans in the Repub-
lican districts. In this way, and this
way only, can we make sure of getting
an honest legislature, legislature that
will not become the supple tool of the
lobbyists, but one that will look care
fully to the interests of the whole peo-
pie.
The taxpayers have an immediate in
terest in this matter. and the GLOBE
warns them in time of the necessity for
attending to it.

considered strong one and the nomi-
nees will surely be elected by a large

THE ACTUAL ISSUES.

The Republicans demand that the
tariff shall not be laid for revenue
alone, but for protection. The Demo-
Gratis hold that revenue should be the
primal consideration. The Republicans
claim that congress has right to lay
duties for protection" Only-prohib-
itOry duties, cutting off any chance for
revenue. The Democrats say that the
need for revenue is the sole warrant for
tariff, excise or any other tax, and that
when an import passes the revenue
point it is unlawful and tyrannical; that
it is, in fact, class legislation in its most
offensive and dangerous shape.
An enormous surplus of revenue has
not convinced the prOtectionists that
the duties yielding such surplus ought
to be cut down. On the contrary, they
demand the repeal of the liquor taxes,
which are not oppressive to consumers
and of which the actual payers do not
complain.
The revenue reformeTS contend for
such a reduction of oppressive taxes as
will bring our redundant income down
to the necessities of the public service
and the public faith to national credit
ors. They say that this reduction shall
be placed where it will bring positive
and needed relief to the people.
The protectiOnistS are willing to viO-
late the constitution in their zeal to pro-
mote the interests of milliOnaires and
mOnopOlies.
The revenue refOrmers, working under
and by the constitution, demand that
there shall be a check put on class leg
islation, and they contend that the first
duty of government is to help the peo-
pie by relieving them of all unneces-
sary burdens.
They reiterate the old doctrine that
that is the best government which is
felt the least.

just like throwing money into well,
for they'd no idea of getting any banner,
but Mr.. Candidate had to score, and he
knew it. I've worked off a
few thousand rattle tickets my

nineteen days and it cost him $50, 900
He wasn't elected, either. Gen. SpinOla
was in the field twenty-one days. He
was so popular that the boys let him off
for a mere bagatelle, and it only cost
him $4,000 to be elected, which
was only little over $1,000 a
day. Young Astor dropped a wad

MANKATo, Mimi, Sept. 23.-The re-
suit of the Republican primaries held
here last night is very badly mixed and
will afford great opportunities for act
i've work on the part of experienced
manipulatorS before the convention
meets Monday afternoon. In the First
ward the fight was over candidates for
the legislature, and A. j. Morrison, the
Old-tlme war horse, was showed under
by Gaylord Lamb, who was supported
by the younger element of the party,
which is beginning to make its strength
felt in politics. The vote stood 60 to Al,
and seven Lamb delegates were elected
as follows: Fred Widell, John Reed,
S. A. Anderson, Thomas Jenkins, E. c..
Warner, Henry Mohr, B. Bangerter.
The Second ward elected four Lamb
delegates on vote of so to 9. The dele
Taylor. Gus Widell, Fred Kruger, In
the Third ward George Il. Barr was
favored for representative against the
field, and his delegates were chosen on
vote of Sc to A, with II scattering
votes. Those elected are w. W. p. Nc
Connell, II. p. Jensen, III. K. Lee, S.
w. Burgess, w. w. Paddock, n. p.
Lee, w. H. Pay, Milton Hanna. A
number of these delegates are in favor
of Geddes for sheriff and Davis for
auditor. In the Fourth ward Barr also
opposed the field, but was defeated, and
the delegation is claimed for Pitcher,
as well as ShiSslel, and is divided be-
tween Monks and Geddes for sheriff
and Davis and Scatter good for auditor.
Thirteen delegates are chosen, as fol-
lows: John Palchow, F. n. Merrill,
Fred Grant, E. p. Cook, G. p. Williams,
w. E. Clark, Gus Peterson, William
James, A. l.. Clements, III. Daniels, NJ.
b. Wood, E. G. WickerSham and III. G.
Burgess. The issue was openly fought
on the question of legislative candi-
dates, and this to some extent covered
up the issue on county officers. Man
kato township has chosen delegates
favoring Bennett for the legislature
and Davis for auditor. A telegram
from Maplcton announces that village
as against Geddes for sheriff. The
county convention bids fair to be de-
cidedly interesting, and many old
scores viii be cancelled next Monday.

ONE TO BE PROUD OF.
Waseca Democrats Nominate a
Ticket That Ought to Win.

Special to the Globe.
WAsECA, Mimi, Sept. 23.-Seventy-
two delegates attended the Democratic
county convention in this city yesterday,
and nominated the strongest ticket ever
presented to the people of this county
for their suffrages. The appearance of
Hon. E. NJ. Wilson in this city at
noon yesterday, while on his way
to Albert Lea, and remarks made by
him seemed to lnfuse new zeal for the
success of the Democracy into the dele
gates assembled, which fact was amply
evidenced by the ticket nominated.
Following is the ticket: For repre-
sentative, John l.. Hanson; for treas
urer, Henry c. Chase; superintendent
of schools, DR.. George Christie;
county auditor, Jarome Madden;
sheriff, A. G. KroSsin; register, Charles
Deyling; county attorney. Hon. 2.

urer, Charles McKenna, the present in
cumbent, was defeated. There being
at present no candidate for judge of pro-
bate, the place was left vacant. to be
filled by the county committee. Thomas
Bohen, of this city, acted as chairman,
and distinguished himself as presid-
ing officer.

This was done in hopes that the Union
Labor party could be induced to join

divided on the cooperation plank, and
it is hard to tell whether they will join
the Democrats OF not. Should they fail
to do so, a full Democratic ticket will
be placed in the field. The Union
Labor party's county convention will
also be held next Saturday.

Eugene NJ. Wilson, Democratic candi-

chance of being elected. The nomina-
ton of Merriam has made split in the
Republican party in this state that can

having bought the nomination, while
many that do support him state that it
is big dish of crow for them to Swal-

press as authority, we are led to believe
that Mr.. Merriam's headquarters will
be at his bank in st. Paul, and not at
the capitol, for the next two years.

CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.

Mr.. HARRISON, in his speech to the
commercial travellers from Chicago who
called on him Saturday, said that the
removal or reduction of the tariff would
compel manufacturers to reduce wages
or go out of business. At the same time
he declared that the duty adds nothing
to the price the consumer must pay.
Such talk is arrant and transparent
nonsense. To say that the producer
pays the duty, is even worse. For if the
producer pays it, he must pay it out of
the price. He cannot pay it out of his
capital, and add that much to the cost of
his goods, without adding it also to his
price.
