Republican of Much Prominence Swens

Q. w. Bliss of Hillsboro. Ill, has here
tofore been a republican. but free whisky
and high tax on the necessities of life
proved too much for him. and he has de-
clared for Cleveland and reform. In a
letter to the Edwardsville InteHigencer he
gives the reasons for the faith that is in
him as follows:
do not consider that I have "forsaken the
ideas of republicaniSm," and have not been
making democratic speeches-that is, not pub
licly, al least. Both parties have agreed, it
seems, for the first time in their history, 10 60
to the people on one issue only. The demo-
cratic party favOrS moderate reduction OF the
tariff in such direction as will least inlure the
industries of the country. The republican
party, manipulated as il was by Mckinley, kel-
ley & Co, blundered upon a most astounding
and, to my mind, an unrepublican declaration
on this question. / venture 10 assert that the
tariff and free-whisky plank in the republican
platform does not voice the sentiment OF one
republican in five hundred, especially in the
West Ii is wholly at variance with the teach
ings and traditions OF the republican party.
The pledges made in their platform of 1884
they have forgotten or purposely violated. The
republican minority in the lower house of con-
gress have pursued vicious policy of obstruc-
ton TO all taritfrefOm measures. They have
oontemptuOusly ignored the demands OF the
great agricultural West for a reduction OF an
unnecessary and unjust war tax, and have
added insult to injury by declaring in their
platform that before they will consent to a re-
moval of these burdens they will flood the
country with free whisky. The moonshiner
who skulks in the shadows of Tennessee Vir-
ginia or North Carolina may indorse such q
sentiment, but the law-abiding farmer OF the
West to whom whisky and tobacco are not ne
eessties, and whose burdens of taxation the
republican party promised to tighten four years
ago will enter protest that viii be felt next
November.
In their frenzed attempts to avoid the Scylls
of free trade, the republican leaders have
plunged into the Charybdis whirlpool of free
whisky. | am not in accord with the senti-
ments as expressed in the Chicago platform,
and in this particular am in the same boat with
thousands of whilom republicans. | regard
the Mills bill as a safe, conservative and neces-
sary measure, and should rejoice to il pass
the senate. Ii holding these views subjects me
to the charge of a lack of fealty 10 the repub-
hcan party, | cannot help 1t. / confidently
look for a revolt among the thinking republic
cans of the West of no small magnitude when
they fully realize the dilemma into which the
leaders of their party have blundered.

War Taxes.
- - asa

Those who would save the present tariff
rates at any cost persistently declare that the
internal taxes on whisky and tobacco are the
only war taxes" that remain. The Randall
papers say: Remove the war taxation" !"
meaning the taxes on whisky and tobacco.
"We suppose" said the Sun a few days ago,
"that the voters will prefer to have
the war taxes wiped out first After
the internal revenue has been extinguished
the majority of voters will be prepared to
attend to the revision of the tariff" And
many other papers that support the Chicago
free whisky and higher tariff platform are
equally misleading and dishonest in their
use of the term "war taxes" For example, the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette recently said /:
"ralk about abolshing the war taxesl The
internal revenue taxes are the war taxes
and they are burdensome" We say they
make dishonest use of the term, because
they know very well, being familiar with
the history of the tariff, that a considerable
part of the duty imposed by the present tariff
laws was imposed during the war 70 compen-
safe the domestic manufacturer for the extra
ordinary internal taxes which he was compelled
then TO pay. They know that those internal
taxes on all sorts of manufactured goods were
long ago swept away, and that the portion Of
the tariff duty that should have been swept
away at the same time, still remains IL is that
part of the tariff duty which is emphatically

1t was but natural that this interview
with the doctor should only further un-
settle and disturb Nora's mind. She saw
very plainly that he firmly believed this
woman to be Biddulph's wife, and that
her only motive for limiting at any doubt
of this was to gain large sum of money,
which she believed that Biddulph would
now be ready to pay.
The doctors earnestness so far infu-
enced Nora that her own hopes began to
wane, and great sadness crept over her.
It was like a second bitter disappoint-
ment, though she had always told herself
TO expect nothing And another fact also
she could not ignore, which was that the
letter she had received long ago was evil
dently written in the same handwriting as
the last one, and this was doubtless strong
confirmation of the doctors belief; for
though these two sisters might have been
personally so like that no one could tell
the difference between them, it would
have been more extraordinary still II

LAKE PRIVILEGES.
Does the Park Board Control
These?-Board Doings.

s-oOoAu Dolhf9os
c. Nee. Reeve appeared before the
board of park commissioners, at the
meeting yesterday afternoon, in regard
to securing the control of the boating
privileges at Lake Calhoun this season.
During his remarks he stated that the
scheme of the motor company, to estab-
liSh summer garden and dance hall
at the lake, would be detrimental to
private property and to the boulevard.
If the board had no control over the
land at the lake, as is claimed by the
parties interested in the summer gar
den project, he was not particularly
anxious to secure the boating privileges,
as the principal crowds would visit the
''bear garden" as he termed it. Mr..
Reeve said that there was similar gar
den in Boston, and that it was one of
the most dissipated places in MasSachu-
ssets. The matter was finally referred
to the committee on privileges.
The salary of Supt. Berry was raised
to 5000 OH the recommendation of the
committee having the matter in charge.
1t was reported that horse was being
pastured in Murray park and the super
intendent was ordered to have him re-
moved. A motion by Commissioner
Mills, to the effect that the board appro-
pirate $1,000 for matchmaking Lyndale
avenue, from Sixth avenue to Twentieth
avenue north, was opposed by Commits
sioner Bassett, who called upon the
secretary of the board to show what the
resources and disbursements of the
board were for the present year. The
secretary reported the resources at $685.
600 and the disbursements at $87,236
leaving balance of S11,6S0 on hand.
Commissioner MillsS motion was
adopted. The council was requested to
repair the roads leading to Riverside
Park, and Supt. Berry was instructed
to fence in the Moulton track, in order
to protect the trees there.

LoAvEs AND FISHES.
Some Of the Fat Offices For Which
We Struggle.


The political pot is beginning to boil
in the camp of the Republican party in
Hennepin county, and about 1000 good
and CONSTANT Republicans are putting
up jobs and laying wires, Safeguarding
one another, and at the same time each
one improves every opportunity to
boom himself for some one of the eighty
nine county and city Offices to be filled
at the coming election. Of these eighty
nine plums to be distributed, the ones
most sought after are the offices of clerk
of court, sheriff and register Of deeds.
These three offices are the most lucra
tive of any of the eighty-nine that are
to be filled. There is no fixed
salary for these three offices, the.
incumbents being paid in fees,
so it is not definitely known just how
much they dO,pay. but it is we'll known
that the fees received in any one of
them, amount to more than double the
salary received by the chief justice of
the supreme court of the United States.
A good many persons who claim to
know say that since Clerk Davenport
worked certain woodchucks through
the last legislature, increasing the re-
ceipts of his Office, the Office is good for
$4,000 year. There is a law requiring
the clerk to make an annual report to
the board of county commissioners OF
the total amount of fees received, and
also a statement showing for what they
were paid, since the increase IN the re-
ceipts was made the clerk has ignored
this law, and the county commissioners
have been afraid they might offend
Baron Davenport, if they called his
attention to this slight omission on
his part. If this law was enforced, so
that the actual amount received by the
incumbents of these three offices could
be made public, there is not the leaSS
doubt but that the next legislature
would be asked to pass bill requiring
part of the fees received to be paid
into the county treasury. The other
county Offices to be filled are those of
auditor, treasurer, county attorney, sur
SUPERINTENDENT of schools, coroner,
Judge of probate and three county COM
missioners; there are also two district
court Judges to be elected. The two
best paid and salaried officers are the
auditor, who receives $4,000, and the
treasurer, who receives $1,000. The
other officers to be elected are all city
officers, with the exception of fourteen
members of the legislature, who are
distributed among the three legislative
districts as follows: Twenty-eighth
district, four members; Twenty-ninth
district, six members, and the Thirtieth
district, four members. The city Of
ficers to be elected are: Mayor, comp
trolIer, treasurer, eight park commits
sioners, two library directors, four
school directors. two municipal court
judges. possibly three justices of the
peace, and thirty-nine aldermen. 1t
Seems as though there ought to be
offices enough for all, but from the
present outlook there will probably be
more disappointed ofice-seekers after
the county convention meets than usual.
