PETITIONS DISMISSED.
The Business Mems Association
Loses Its Case Against the Omaha.
The st. Paul papers Friday contained
the following Washington special:

The interstate commerce commission has
rendered an opinion in the case Of The Bust
ness Mems Association OF the state OF Minne-
sofa, petitioner, against The Chicago ~ North
western Railway Company. IL says:
All that we can decide In this proceeding
now is that the rule insisted upon by the petit
TONER, that the rate per ton per mile, taken
as a basis between Chicago and 81. Peter, must
be adopted as the standard at stations between
St Peter and Pierre, and that the latter rates
must decrease relatively for the greater dis
lance in the same proportion, as between Chi
cago to st. Peter, is one that In the existing
conditions of transportation along the line OF
this railroad, upon the evidence IN this pro-
ceeding, cannot be sustained AS the COM
plant is based upon this ground alone, aud
was 80 tried by the parties and heard by the
commission, 1t results that this petition must

ion In the case of theBame petitioner against
the Chicago 81 Psnl ~, hdnneaPSiS tn ,be
same general line as in the preceding case.
After an exhaustive review OF the law and
evidence the commission orders that the peti-
tion be dismissed.
Being shown the above President
Pope, of the Association, said he had
not been apprised of the decision, but
expected some notification soon. He
said there is misstatement in the quo
tation given as coming from the commits
sioners. The Association did not de-
mand that the rates should decrease from
St. Peter west relative to the greater dis
lance. The position taken was that the
rate should not be greater-that is that
the rate per ton per mile from Chicago
to st. Peter should be made standard
for the rates on the line between st. Pc
ter and the Missouri river. Gen. Pope
does not admit the claim that this is a
demand for the establishment of uni
form mileage rate, as he says the Asso-
citation agrees that such rate would be
impracticable. General Pope says he
apprehends the decision has been made
somewhat upon technlcalitles, and that
the Association may be called upon to
make further presentation OF its case.

THE straight-out Democratic papers
such as the New York World and Sun
are much more honorable in their treat
ment of Gen. Harrison than the con-
temptible Mugwump sheets. The latter
seem to consider that they should make
up for their lack of years in Democracy
by being especially malignant in their
warfare upon their deserted party.

SEVEN years ago Monday President
Garfield fell the victim of dastardly
assassin's bullet. Memory of the event
seems almost wholly to have died out,
and were it not for the attention called
to it by newspapers the anniversary
would pass unnoticed. This is great
and busy world and the personality of
those who fall by the wavside we soon
forget. The memories of the martyred
presidents, Lincoln and Garfield are,
however, sure 70 he cherished long after
those who can remember of the events
which took the two away are they them-
selves laid beneath the sod.

The annual trouble between the iron
workers and their employees is on, and
the rolling mills of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania are closed for their summer vaca-
ton. The iron men always take the
torrid months, when they would not
otherwise work, as an opportunity for a
strike. When the weather gets in q
condition which allows them to work
near blast furnace the scale is general
ly satisfactorily arranged. The summer
strikes of the iron workers don't have
as much terror as they used to.

life and property the less govern
ment the better. This is the pure
democracy as | understand it of
Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson
and Abraham Lincoln. 1t is the
democracy of the Chicago platform
on which Abraham Lincoln was
first nominated and elected. 1t is
the democracy which proclaimed
protection to American labor and
industry in 1861. 1t is the democra-
cy which replenished the national
treasury, prosecuted the war for the
upIon, emancipated the slaves, and
made our glorious country nation
in the true sense of dedicating every
inch of its soil to liberty forever.
Mr.. Grace goes further in history
and contributes the following which
is recommended as pretty good
reading for the democrats who find
so much delight in the record of the
tradition of the democratic party:
In opposition to this so-called de-
mocracy of John G. Calhoun, who
founded the southern school of free
trade abroad and serfdom at home.
When the high protective tariff of
1928 was enacted under the first
administration of Jackson, Calhoun
repudiated the law, called a state
convention of his so-called democra-
cy to sustain him, and it passed res
olutions doing so. We all know
what short work Jackson made of
that convention Jackson was
greater protectionist than Henry
Clay, and on it he was elected, and
his policy brought the country great
prosperity. After Jackson's death
the Calhoun school prevailed, and
southern leaders prepared the plat
forms up to the rebellion. Southern
leaders of the same school and ideas
are in control again. 1t was
southern Calhoun Golden club demo
crat who wrote the democratic plat
forms in 1876 and 1888. The first
did not prevail; neither shall the
second. They are both un-Ameri-
can, hostile alike to our prosperity
aud industrial independence. l re-
gard the Chicago platform as the
most positive, comprehensive and
beneficial declaration of principles
ever made by any one party in this
republic. 1t will rank second only
to the Declaration of Independence.
The issue makes it a campaign of
principles and not of men.

the same class as American goods
are shipped into New York and put
upon the market at, we will say, one
third less than American manufac-
tured goods are now selling for.
What would the American manu-
facturer do? Would he put his
wares on the market at sacrifice
of one-third of his present profits
admitting that his profits now
amount to that-or would he reduce
his expenses, including the wages
of his employees, by one-third and
thus save a margin of profit to him
self E?
Let us present the matter in a
different form: Suppose that from
any cause, by reduction of tariff or
otherwise, the market value of zinc
oxide is lowered SO that the product
of the Mineral Point zinc works
must be sold at % per cent.-or any
other rate-less than is now obtained
for it. Would Mr.. D. B. Jones,
the free trade president Of the com
pany, continue to pay the same
price as now for ore and for labor,
or would he save himself from loss
by paying proportionately less FOR
ore and labor, and otherwise reduc-
ing expenses? The question needs
no answer.
"The miner in the darkness of the
mine" and the laborer toiling in the
scorching heat of Mr.. Jones' fur
mace would inevitably have to sacri
fee per cent. of their earnings to
enable Mr.. Jones to continue the
manufacture of zinc oxide at a
profit.

land that if he took the same stand
in his letter of acceptance, that he
did in his message to Congress last
December, the democrats would lose
New York, New ] Jersey, Connecticut
and possibly one or two states in
the solid south, but that If he would
let the subject entirely alone, the
democratic managers would adopt a
straddling policy, which might pull
him through. This rumor makes
the letter of acceptance anxiously
looked for. If Cleveland has taken
Barnum's advice, it will be the first
time that he has been known to do
such a thing, and if he has not, he
will have pleased the republicans
very much.
Senator Plumb says the farmers
of the west are all in favor of trans
ferriug the weather bureau to the
Agricultural department. General
Greedy, Chief Signal Officer, is bit
terly opposed to the change, and
says that if it is made he will not
remain at the head Of the Signal
Service.
Representative Samuel J. Randall
has been dangerously i'll this week.
He was attacked with hemorrhage,
and for a time his life was despaired
of. He is now somewhat better,
but will not resume his duties in
the House again at this session.
Republicans in Congress are con-
stantly receiving letters from demo
cratic constituents, announcing their
intention Of supporting the repub-
lican nominees this year.
Senator Hoar's speech against the
ratification of the fisheries treaty
was a terrible arraignment of the
democratic party. In concluding he
said: 81 would have the box where
the American freeman casts his
ballot sacred as a sacramento vessel.
| do not like this conspiracy between
the old slave holder and the Eng
fish manufacturer, to strike down
the wages of the American work
mans home. | do not like your re-
fusal to maintain the American
Navy and to fortify and defend the
American coast. Aud | like no bet
ter the present treaty. 1t leaves the
American sailor to be bullied and
insulted without redress, and
abandons the American right to the
fisheries which the valor of our
grandfathers won for us and the
wisdom of our fathers preserved
for us.

Words Worth Considering

The other day Mr.. William II,
Grace, Of New York, a prominent
democrat leader Of the First ward,
and an active member of the demo
cratic association of that ward,
sent to the president Of the associa-
ton a letter in which he says he not
only withdraws from the association
but declares that he cannot long
er support the democratic party. Mr..
Grace does not consider Mr.. Cleve-
land dishonest man, but he thinks
he is controlled by his party on the
tariff question, and therefore he can
not support him. On one point he
says:
Ian . democrat, pure and simple.
I u5foundly believe i'm home rule,
til each community making its own
local laws, and every man in the
community having a voice III those
laws. 50 with the stase, 80 with the

Buying Votes.

If the Mills bill passes the House
of Representatives it will be passed
by system of party jobbery of the
most fragrant and indecent character.
When it was proposed, there were
from fifteen to twenty Democrats
hostile to it. 1t is now said that all
but two or three have been won
over. They have not been changed
by argument but by a system of
sectional bribery.
No feature of the present tariff
has perhaps been SO generally
assailed by the anti protection press
as the tariff on soft coal. Mr.. Mills
at the outset proposed to repeal it,
but elamor against the abolition
came up from Virginia, Tennessee
and Alabama, Democratic states.
To secure votes from those states,
the tariff on coal was left undisturd-
ed. The same course was pursued
respecting iron ore, which the free
trade journals class as raw material.
The tariff was left on iron ore to
secure votes from the South to put
the Northern farmers wool on the
free list.
When Mr.. Mills presented his
bill, it cut down largely the tariff on
glass, and he discoursed at length
on the benefit which 1t would be to
poor in building houses. But two
Democratic members, whose con-
stituents were greatly interested in
the manufacture of glass, kicked
against the reduction, and, to buy
their votes, the Democratic caucus
decided to restore the duty.
The duty on sugar was kept at Is
per cent. and on rice at from 20 to
100 per cent, to keeps the votes of
Louisiana, South Carolina, George
and Florida representatives. Reams
of paper have been written over by
free-trade writers denouncing the
wickednoss of the prohibitory tariff
on woods screws. Mr.. Mills there
fore put wood screws on his free
list. But Vance of Connecticut,
and Stahlnicker, Of New York,
Democratic members in whose dis
tricts wood screws are made, threat
ened to vote against the bill, and
wood screws were put back on the
dutiable list at the old rates.
Glue was placed on the free list.
But Mr.. Lawler, of Chicago, Demo
crat, whose constituents are inter
ested in the manufacture of glue,
having declared that he would vote
against the bill if that feature were
retained, glue was removed from
the free lis, aud the old duty main.
tanned When Mr.. Bayne, a Re
pUblican member from Pennsylvania,
attempted TO restore the old rate on
"sal soda" and failed, he said that
/ if the industry had been located in
Mr. LAWYERS district the concession
/ would have been made BY the Mills
committee. Thereupon LAWYER
I called out; eve will make the
same concession to You, if you will
vote for the oil, thus admitting
that special privileges were offered
for votes. I'm the same way, rubber
fabrics which are the subject of one
of the strongest trusts in the country,
We're first put on the free list, and
then restored to the old rates to
crafty q Democratic constituency.
