1T is SIGNIFICANT.

An Eastern contemporary, comment
ing upon recent canvass of Illinois, the
result of which showed large percent
age of the people to be in favor of tariff
reform, remarks that the growing dis
position of Western Republicans to
break away from party traditions is
significant. So it is, very significant in
deed, and natural enough after all. The
movement is not political one in the
West 1t is entirely personal. AS such
it is participated in as readily by Re-
publicans as by Democrats.
The one point of significance is that
the people are estimating public ques-
lions, and the tariff question particu-
larly, not from a partisan standpoint,
but from the point of view of their own
interests. Looking at the tariff in this
way, it does not take them long to make
up their minds that, whatever may have
been the necessity for its creation,
that necessity has long since gone
by. They have come to the conclusion
that it makes no difference whether its
retention or abolition is party ques-
ton, since common sense demands the
removal of a tax which is not only I'M
necessary, but CALLING, burdensome and
unjust.
Western voters are just as devoted to
their party affiliations as their Eastern
brethren, but when they come to con-
slider a question which comes home to
them directly, they have intelligence
enough to regard it from the broad basis
of a common justice. The Western
movement is significant of the fact that
Western Republicans think they have
suffered enough through party loyalty,
have paid enough tribute to maintain
monopolists in luxury, and now want to
be treated in spirit of justice them
| selves.
That is why the movement in the
| West in favor of tariff reduction rises
| above political grounds.

WE'LL REGUN.

The Oregon Democrats, who opened
their state convention yesterday, have
well begun the fight which will soon
open up along the entire line. They
have the advantage now of possessing
a majority of the offices in the state, and
with the growth of Democratic senti-
ment have excellent reasons for hop
ing to be able to place Oregon i'll the
Democratic column during the presi-
Dental contest.
The Republican majority is but little
over LOCO, and it is fair to presume, TAX
ing into consideration the changed cir
cumstances since the last election, that
there is every probability of the wiping
out of this small margin. At any rate,
the Oregon Democrats have gone to
work with a will to do it, and we shall
be very much surprised if they do not
succeed.
In one respect they are setting an ad
mirable example to Democrats else
where, and that is the concerted action
and harmonious vigor with which they
have gone about their appointed task.
They evidently don't intend to leave
any stone unturned. No matter how
strong the indications may be toward
Democratic success in an given locality,
the lesson should be learned from the
Oregon Democrats that false sense of
security is dangerous, and that energetic
efforts are necessary to make what APP
pears to be assurance doubly sure.
The campaign may now be regarded
as fairly begun, and the Oregon Demo
Gratis have certainly begun it well.

CAN THEY AGREE?

The very proper suggestion that Edi-
tor WHEELoCK should receive the honor
of representing Minnesota Republicans
in the presidential convention is likely
to be productive of anything but peace
of mind and harmony in the Republican
State league. 1t is claimed, and admit
ted by those in position to know, that
the league is pulling the wires vigor-
ously to send delegation to Chicago
which, if not actually instructed for
BLAINE, shall be devoted heart and
soul to his interests.
But now observe the difficulty in the
way of the conSummation of their clever
little scheme. Editor WHEELoCK
would almost as soon think of voting
for His Satanic Majesty as for the Man
from Maine. He may be expected to be
opposed to him first, last and all the
time. Yet the league can not afford to
shelve him.
His position and his power are alto
gether too great to permit of such ac-
ton OH the part of political organiza
ton whose members have so many per-
sonal axes to grind. to the successful
sharpening of which the good will of
the party organ is absolutely necessary.
No wonder, then, that President ''TDf'
BYRNEs and the rest of the silk-StOck-
ing faithful are in state of mind.
We sympathize deeply with them in
their torturing suspense, and assure
them that our interest in it's final out
come is intense.

WATCH THE BUILDINGS.

1t has happened that good many
buildings have been erected in st. Paul
which, for some reason or other, upon
careful inspection by the authorities
has, in divers ways. been found I'M
safe, either containing no suitable
means of egress in case of fire or afford
ing particular liability to fire.
These defects have frequently been of
such a nature that their remedying,
after the construction of the buildings,
have been practically impossible. st.
Paul is now on the Threshold of what
promises to be the most active building
season in her history. Buildings of all
kinds will be erected, and it behooves
the building inspectors Office to keep a
close watch upon them, that the posi-
bility of future catastrophes, through
defective construction, may be obviated
as far as possible.
AS rule, ST. Paul buildings are of
an extremely substantial character, but
there is room for improvement. ALI

CHOPPED UP DAGON.
Judge Kelley and Other High
Priests Of Protection Surprised

Judge Kelley and Other High
Priests Of Protection Surprised
at Nelson's Utterances.
Philadelphia Record.
1t has been related in missionary an
nails that once upon time heather
cook, who was strongly attached to the
ancient faith, having informed his con-
verified mistress that there was no wood
with which to get dinner, was quietly
told: "Chop up Dagonw 1t was with
a feeling of horror somewhat akin to
that of the cook at the suggestion Of his
mistress that Judge Kelley and other
high priests of protection listened when
Representative Knute Nelson, of Min
nesota, stripped Off one after another OF
the false pretenseS in behalf of the high
tariff divinity. He showed not only
that the claim that the tariff enhances
the wages Of labor was not true, but
that the effect of the system has been
to diminish the earnings of working
men by increasing the cost of the neces-
saries of living. In answer to the alb
surd pretensions that the country's
prosperity has been due to an eXOrbi-
tant and exhaustive system of taxation,
he pointed out the real sources OF ma
tional progress and greatness. The
Minnesota member closed his speech
with the declaration that three-fourthS
of the Republicans of his state cor
daily shared his views. Had this
speech been made by Democratic rep
resentative they would have deemed no
other reply necessary but sheer at
''British free trade" But this is the
utterance of a representative who ell
tered congress with 10000 Republican
votes at his back. This fact is one of
the many significant signs that the wor
ship of the Tariff Mumbo-Jumbo is zap
idly declining in it's former stronghOldS.

Cowardly Murder Of Woman in Mich.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 3.-Just be.
fore daylight this morning the Jail at
Friars' Point, Miss, was discovered on
fire. Desperate efforts were made to
release the five prisoners it contained,
but without success, and they persisted
in the flames. They were William Gray,
white, aged twenty-eight, under a sen
tence in the penitentiary of ten years
for arson and robbery; Fred Pow
erS, white, a pal Of Gray's,
who was also under SEN
tence of five years for robbery;
Powers. white man under arrest for
an assault with intent to kill; Andy
Brown (colored), under death sentence
for murder, and negro boy aged fif-
teen, who was crazy. There is no doubt
but what Gray set the Jail on fire, as he
had threatened to do rather than go to
the penitentiary. The jail was a sub
stantial brick building. a portion being
occupied by the chancery and circuit
court clerks, who succeeded in saving
the cOunty'S records.

PAID THE PENALTY.
Adam Volkovitch Hanged for the
Murder of StaniSlaS BiOSki.


WLKEsBARRE, Pa, April 3.-The
sentence of death was executed this
morning upon Adam VOlkOvitch, who
brutalIy murdered Stanislas Bioski on
the 18th of August last. The eXecu-
ton was announced to take place at
II 80 o'clock, but long before that hour
large crowds of people gathered around
the prison and Surmounted an adjacent
eminence, with morbid desire to wit
ness the tragedy. About 200 persons
were admitted within the Jail
walls, including Sheriff Search,
his deputies, members OF the
press and twelve jurymen. At
11:05 O'clock the religious servic S, that
lasted nearly two hours, were con-
cluded, and the announcement was
made that the condemned man was in
readiness. A few minutes later the
sheriff and deputies entered his cell and
bound the arms of the prisoner, who
was then led out into the yard, where
the gallowS was erected. He was sup
ported OH either side by his spiritual
advisers. The small procession moved
slowly to the death trap, intoning pray
ers. A few words were said by Rev.
Father YdOski, of Freeland. The pris-
Oner was then pinioned, the fatal moose
adjusted and the black cap placed over
his head. There was hardly CULVER of
the limbs, and the execution was sue
cessfully accomplished. His wife, on
bidding hin goodbye, tainted, and it
was thought for time she would die.

NO DODGING.

The Pioneer Press makes the honest
confession that the Republican party
cannot win on the platform made by
the minority of the committee on ways
and means, and yet that is the only
platform the Republican party can
stand on and be true to itself. 1t is the
platform on which Mr.. BLAINE and MIR.
SHERMAN and all the prominent men
of the party stand. In fact, it contains
the vital principle of Republicanism.
Destroy that platform and the Repub-
lican party is dead.
1t is evident that Gen. WAsHBURN
has clearer conception OF Republican
ism than the Pioneer Press. In re-
cent interview with newspaper cor
respondent at Washington he said the
Republicans of Minnesota recognized
the issue between the Republican and
Democratic parties to be protection and
free trade, and the Republicans were
for protection. Gen. WAsHBURN stands
in line with BLAINE and SHERMAN and
KELLEY and MCKINLEY, and the men
who formulate Republican principles
and who control the Republican organl-
cation. The Pioneer Press represents
that small element OF the Republican
party, confined to the Northwestern
states, who protest against the protec-
ton doctrine Of the party for the sake
of allaying discomfort among the masses,
but who manage to keep right along
with the protection procession just the
same.
1t is dishonest way of dealing with a
great public question, to say the least of
it. The plank in the last Republican
platform pledging the party to correct
the inequalities of the tariff was not put
there for an honest purpose. "Tariff
inequalities" is term as broad as it is
indefinite, and can be construed to mean
that the tariff on certain articles is too
low or too high, according to the inter-
est the individual has in the article pro-
tected by the tariff. The consumer
thinks that the tariff on sugar is too
high. The sugar refiner thinks it is too
low. They agree as to the inequality OF
the tariff so far as it affects sugar; and
yet, when it comes to equallzing it, each
would have an entirely different method
for doing it. The consumer would
lower the tariff; the sugar refner would
raise it.
Thus, from their different stand
points, the Democratic and Republican
parties view tariff inequality. The
MILLS bill is the Democratic idea of
equalizing the tariff. The report made
by KELLEY and MCKINLEY, the Republic
can members of the ways and means
committee, is the Republican idea of
equalizing it.
Our contemporary is right in saying
the Republican party cannot win on
that platform: and yet it is equally GER
tain that the KELLEY and MCKINLEY
report is fair expression of Republi
can tariff doctrine. There is no use in
mincing matters or hiding behind a
stump. If the Pioneer Press intends to
fight with the Republicans in the ap-
preaching campaign it may just as well
make up its mind to put on Republican
armOr.

Rescued in Time.

ADRIAN, Mich, April S.-WilIiam C.
VALIDITY has returned home from Flor
ida to recover from the effects of a try
ing adventure. Mr.. VALIDITY and
friend went on yachting expedition re-
Gently, along the coast of the Gulf of
Mexico. During the storm they were
cast OIL the rocks of small uninhabited
island, about two miles from the main
land. Their boat was wrecked, and
after three days they began to give up
all hope of rescue, no boats passing
near the island. Some wild berries
which grew there served to prevent star
walton. The fifth day Mr.. VALIDITY de-
cided to try to reach the mainland by
swimming. After severe struggle he
reached the shore several miles from a
habitation. Mr.. VALIDITY was nearly
naked and had to walk six miles before
he saw house. He was taken in
charge, and after several hours a boat
was found to bring in the other man,
who had given VALIDITY up'fOr dead.

A Cruel Murder,

MARQUETTE, Mich, April 3.-One OF
the most cruel murders ever perpetrated
on the upper peninsula was committed
at Norway last night. The reports are
meager. Mrs. Peter Burke, q respect
able widow lady, was to have been mar
ried to gentleman of that place yes
terday. A man, Pat Wade, from Wau-
cedah, appeared on the scene and stated
that he would kill Mrs. Burke
before seeing her married to another
He is supposed to be an old admirer of
her. But little attention was paid to
the threat, but Wade succeeded in
springing a meeting with her and shot
her dead. The entire community was
in arms at once, and Wade was captured
and jailed. He is strongly guarded, but
may be lynched at any time. He re-
fuses to talk, and, aside from jealousy,
no cause is assigned for the murder.

Natures fertilizing material, just so the
Missouri, the Big Muddy, flowing
through hundreds Of miles of rich soil,
brings down to the loWlands which it
mandates in the spring an enormous
deposit Of rich soil, which. spreading
over the flooded bottom lands, gives
them increased fertility.
Thus the people are in some measure
compensated, and though they be will
ing to get along without the compensa-
ton if the floods were done away with,
as practical people they must reflect
that it is better to have some return
than none at all.
