PARNELLIsM AND CRIME.
The London Times Sustains Its
Utterances in the Courts

The London Times Sustains Its
Utterances in the Courts.
LONDON, July 5.-The trial of the suit
for libel brought by F. II. O'DonneI
against the Times, was resumed this
morning. Attorney General Webster
continued his presentation of the case
Tor the defense. In the course of his re-
marks he said: s'No man was IibeIed
TO greater extent than Mr.. ParnelI. vet
ODonnell was put forward to meet the
Times charges" Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge intimated that the plaintiff
mad presented no case for the Times to
answer. MIR. Ruegg, counsel for Mr..
ODonnell. said he thought the case
might go the jury on the note in which
ODonneils name was mentioned. The
lord chief justice remarked: Every
Well you go on; You take the respon-
slolllty." Mr.. Ruegg then asked the
court to give him a half hour for the
purpose OF consulting his client. Mfr.
Ruegg subsequently announced that he
nad decided to address the jury on the
instances i'll which O'DonneiI was
named i'll the Times articles, and that
all the other charges embodied in the
complaint would be abandoned. Upon
the conclusion of Mr.. Ruegg's address
the lord chief justice charged the Jury.
LIS charge was strong against O'Don-
nell; He said that if O'Donnell in
tended his letter to the Times to vindi-
cate MS character, it was difficult to
conceive weaker protest. The jury re-
turned verdict for the Times.
MIR. Parnell denies that any of the
letters published by the Times in its ar
tlcles on "Parnellism and Crime" are
authentic.

The Same Old Story.

Leah Turner has begun an action
against George W. Turner for divorce
on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment. Mrs. Turner states in her
pleadings that her age is thirty-four
years, and that Turner's is forty-tive
years: that they were married in this
city on the 22d day of October. 1855, and
that ever since their marriage he has
failed to provide anything for their sup
port and that she has been compelled by
her own labor as a dressmaker to sup
port both herself and him. She also
charges him with being a habitual
drunkard and says that when he is I'M
der the influence of liquor it is his Gus
tom to come home and abuse her and
call her vile names. She therefore asks
for an absolute divorce and for an order
of the court allowing her to assume her
maiden name of Leah Bourgue.

CHANGING BASE.

A most cheering evidence of the sound
ness and popularity of the Democratic
position on the tariff question may be
found in the fact that the Republican
senate seriously contemplateS the pass
age of tariff revision bill. The Re-
publican senators are now actually en-
gagged in the preparation of such bill,
with the expectation of offering it as a
substitute for the MILLS bill when that
measure comes from the house of rep
resentatives. This is a radical change
of base from the position the Repub-
lican party occupied at Chicago two
weeks ago. Then the representatives
of the party met in convention, and
with defiant air, accepted the
gage of battle thrown down by
the Democrats at st. Louis.
The Chicago platform bristled with an
assertion of the soundness and correct
ness of straight-out protection doc
trine, while in every speech the orators
of the convention proclaimed that there
was to be no compromise on the heresy
of tariff reform. 1t was bold, defiant
attitude the party assumed On that Occa-
sion, and although recognized to be
most reckless exhibition Of courage the
leaders won from the opposition admir-
alton for the heroic quality of their folly.
But the Republican party was intoXi-
Gated at Chicago. 1t was in the wild
fren Zy of a BLAINE delirium, and saw
nothing and knew nothing except as
BLAINE saw it and knew it. Since
their return home the leaders and
delegates have sobered off, and with
the return of reason and second
sober sense has come the consciousness
of the fatal mistake the party made with
its platform. The cry for tariff reform
is ringing in their ears at every turn.
The capitalists and monopolists APP
plaud the Chicago platform and say
''weil done" But the great body of the
people utterly repudiate it. The masses,
who are the consumers and the wage
earners, do not want a continuance of
war taxes twenty-five years after the
war has closed.
The great surplus that is piled up in
the treasury, and is continually piling
up, is the irrefutable evidence that the
war taxes are not needed in time of
peace. No amount of sophistry can Off
set an argument like that.
Realizing that there is popular de-
mand for revision of the tariff. the Re-
publican leaders have cowardly aban-
doned the position they occupied fort
night ago, and are actually preparing to
pitch their tents on Democratic ground.
They say they will not adopt the MILLS
bill because of its Democratic parentage,
but they will adopt one just like it and
call it by another name.
In all the history of politics there has
never been such dastardly desertion
of principle by party, or such woe
full exhibition of cowardly evasion as
the Republican leaders are exhibiting
in this instance.
Fortunately their cowardice and de-
sertion of principle is a sublime testi-
monial to the integrity of the Demo-
cratic party, and recognition of its
heroic struggle in defense Of the public
interests,

CLEAR THE COURSE.

Naturally a good many people in the
Northwest take a lively interest in the
regatta annually held at Lake Mime
tOnka by Minnesota and Winnipeg
oarsmen. The sport is as elevating as
have an intense local interest the re-
gatta would be an event worthy of all
encouragement.
The contests which begin to-day
promise to be more than usually inter-
esting, and yet, unless the precaution is
taken to keep the course, especially at
the finish, clear of all moving craft,
they may be utterly spoiled. The
swell even from small steam launch
is sufficient to mar both time and stroke
if, indeed, as has been the case III the
past, it does not result in some crews
defeat.
The contestants in the races have
worked long and hard. 1t is unfair to
them that any of the spectators should
throw an obstacle in the way of their
valiant efforts. If the bay in front of
the Hotel Lafayette is kept entirely
clear of all craft from 5 to s this even
ing and tomorrow, no condition will be
lacking toward making the regatta a
complete success.
Certainly, when this request is made
as much IN the interest of the spectators
as of the oarsmen, compliance with it
should not be difficult Let the course
be kept clear, and everyone will be in
good humor.

take prominent part in this centennial

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Senator Tur-
pie, On behalf of the Democratic minor
ity of the committee on pensions, to-day
presented minority report dissenting
from the views in regard to the veto
power expressed by Senator Davis in a
majority report from the pensions COM
mitsee. The minority say: 1--WE re-
gard that power as qualified negative
upon that OF congress, not derOgatOry to
their rights or action. Neither the
power nor its exercise can be regarded
as an encrOachment upon the province
in the constitution. Mr.. Story, in his
justly celebrated commentary upon that
instrument, says respecting it: The
power is important as an additional Sc
curlty against the enactment of rash,
immature and improper laws Speak
ing of the action of the executive there
in, the same author remarks: His
view, If not more wise OF more elevated,
will
AT LEAST BE INDEPENDENT
and under an entirely different respon-
sibility to the nation from what belongs
to congress. He is the representative
of the whole nation in the aggregate,
they are the representatives only of dis
tinct parts.
eve do not think the frequency of the
exercise of this power upon the subject
OF private bills, even if it were legiti-
mate objection thereto, is at all made
out as charged. Out of the large num-
Der of such bills very small percent
age have been returned with objections.
The frequency bears very inconsider-
able proportion to the number of the
applications. AS to the means of in
formation made use of by the executive
as basis for his objections, the preSi-
dent has certainly the same right to
make use of the records, files, reports
and opinions of the pension bureau as
members of congress. The money of
the people in the treasury, the fund out
OF which pensions are paid, is fund of
SUCH quality that it
CANNOT BE GUARDED
too carefully against immature legisla-
ton. The president, equally with any
member of the legislative bodies, has
the right and duty imposed upon him
to form and express his opinion with
respect to the justice of pecuniary
claim against this fund, being answer
able under his oath and conscience only
to the constituency Of the nation for his
action therein. AS to the merits of the
particular bills recited in the commit
tees report, we deem it here unneces-
Sary for us to express an opinion at this
time. being willing to do so at such time
as the question properly arises upon the
final passage thereof" The report is
signed by Senators Turpie, Blodgett,
Faulkner and Wilson. of Maryland.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The house
discussed the land grant forfeiture bill
during most of the day. A bill was in
troduced by Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama,
authorizing the appointment of an as
SiStant secretary of the navy. In COM
mittee of the whole the house took I'D

incurred in Suppressing Indian HOSTILE
ties and for other purposes. Debate en-
sued, and the morning hour expired and
the bill went over. Mr.. Holman called
up the senate land grant forfeiture
bill with amendments made by the
house committee. After the committee
amendments Oh the substitute for the
senate bill had been read a number of

explained the differences between the
house committee and the senate bill.
The senate bill would forfeit $500, 1856

TO-NIGHT'S MEETING,
Preliminary Council Work Per-

1Ormeu by committees.
The council committees yesterday
disposed of considerable work prelimi-
nary to to-night's meeting. The COM
mittee on salaries agreed to recommend
that Sidewalk Inspector De Harven's
salary be increased $40 month; also
men employed in the water department
who are receiving 81 per day to receive
1926, and S1.75 men increased to 81.
The committee On streets, grades and
additions approved of platS of Prospect
Park and Helmick's additions to Min
neapoliS. The committee on sewers
agreed to recommend that sewer be
built this season on Ridgewood avenue,
from Pleasant avenue to Vine place,
and for 100 feet GU West Nineteenth
street, west from Lindley avenue, the
property owners agreeing to advance
the money. Sewers will also be recon-
mended on Washington avenue north,
from Fifth to Twentieth. avenues; on
Plymouth avenue, from Sixth to Tenth
streets, and on Twentieth avenue north,
from Washington avenue to Sixteenth
street. The committee on paving let
the contract for paving an alley in
block 5, original plat to G. l.. Snyder,
for S1.07 per yard: extra excavation, 80
cents per cubic yard, and decided to
recommend the paving of Fourth ave-
nue. south, between Fourth and Twenty
fourth streets; Sixth avenue south, be-
tween Seventh and Tenth streets, and
Fourteenth avenue southeast, between
Fourth and Fifth streets.
The committee on ways and means
looked over the situation in regard to
the completion of the East Minneapolis
sewer tunnel. The city engineer esti-
mated that it would cost about $4,000
to complete the tunnel, and only about
$1,000 remain of the appropriation,
which will be only sufficient to keep the
work in progress for about two weeks
longer. No action was taken, and the
matter will be laid before the council

WASHINGTON, d. G., July 5.-Con-
gresham Belmont, chairman of the
house committee on foreign affairs,
which was instructed by resolution of
the house to investigate the case of John
Curtin Kent, naturalized citizen of the
United States, convicted in England of
c0nspiring to murder by the use OF dy-
Mantle, will submit the report of the
committee tomorrow. 1t reciteS the his
tory of the case in detail, which is already
familiar to the public, expresses deep
sympathy for Kent. and continues as
follows: The fact that the naturaliza-
ton of Kent was not known at the time
of his trial, to the American authorities,
is evidence of the propriety of the
recommendation made by President
Cleveland in his message of 1884, and
repeated in 1885, in favor of the estab-
liShment of central bureau of record
of the DEGREES of naturalization granted
by the various courts of the United
States. The interest which the present
administration has taken in the matter
of citizenship is shown by the letters of
the president and of the secretary of

Committee Regarding Lead in
Gold and Silver Ores.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Senator Ed
munds presented to the senate to-day
the report of the Judiciary committee on
the laws relating to the importation of
lead in gold and silver ores. The senate
On June II adopted a resolution asking
the committee to investigate the subject
of the importation free of duty of lead
ore. The committee says that lead
ore, in Its legal and commercial sense is
dutiable at ~ cents pound. But from
the examination of the papers on the
subject referred to the committee. it APP
pears that the question involved is the
Importation of what are known to the
treasury department as gold or silver
ores. In the case of ores of this char
acter the committee inclines to the opii-
ion that when they contain more lead
than gold or silver in quantity, but more
of gold or silver in value. the lead is not
subject to duty. Prior to the act of 1888
these ores were known as gold or silver
ores, and it is to be assumed that con-
greSs knew of this commercial interpre-
tatiOn when the law was enacted.
