The Republlean Mlnorlty Report.

The Republican Minority Report
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The committee
on ways and means amended the tariff
bill this morning by the addition of pro
visions slightly increasing the sugar du-
ties so as to equal a net reduction of 90
per cent? in the existing duty; authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to classify as
woolens worsted cloths and guarding
against interference with existing treat
les. The republican minority report was
presented. The report is about twice as
long as that prepared by the majority. 1t
opens with a severe criticism Of the action
of the majority in so compiling the bill
that the majority was not given informa-
ton of the fact that it was in preparation.
1t denounces the refusal of the majority
to hear manufacturers, working men and
others on the proposed reductions and
charges the majority with s~ectionalism.
The bal reduces the tariff on but two arti-
eles of southern production-sugar and
rice-and those very slightly, while ii
makes a wholesale slaughter of every
thing produced in the north and north
west. The report declares that the re.
publican party favors tariff reduction, but
would have this made only with
due regard to the interests Of
manufacturers, laboring men and
~producers generally and after a
full hearing of their opinions. 1t states
that although the democratic party has
had control Of the house for five years
and has made tariff reductions its battle
cry, 1t has passed no such bin, while the
republicans have reduced the tariff over
5000, 100000 between 1879 and 1888. Tie
action of the majority in respect 70 wool
Is pointed to as q direct slap on the part
of the south at the north.

eampnient at RedheId.
REDFTELD, March3 80. Especial AFTER
the impressive ceremony Of installation
conducted by Capt. Lucas last night, the
fifth encampment of the Dakota G. A. r.
became a part of the past by its formal
adjournment. During the afternoon an
immense amount of business was trans
acted and when the hour for adjournment
arrived and the delegates left the hall
which was the scene of SO much spirited
discussion, fraternal sentiment and elo-
quence during the three days session,
congratulations were general over the
amount Of important business transacted,
the more perfect organization and the ex-
cellent corps Of officers chosen for the en-
suing year. The choice Of Private"
Hammond, the new commaAder,
was the special subject Of favorable coin
ment A feeling Of confidence in him as
a man, an accomplished gentlemana Ian
able organizer was generally expressed.
With evening came the grand banquet
rendered By Geo. II. Thomas post and the
citizens Of Reddeld. Al score Of tables
loaded with the best products and delica-
cies Of Dakota's soil and culinary art ex
tending down the sides of the great opera
hall and from the stage the Redfeld band
shook the house with brazen melody.
Commander Packard made an admira-

white aprons were constant In their atten-
tons to the wants Of the 306 guests. The
exhibition drill by the Reddeld rifles

Competent judges pronounced
i Is fine an exhibition drill as they had
The speeches in response 10 toasts were
with the exception Of one or two of UNI
pard0nable length, good examples Of after
dinner ofasoFy. Mr.. Towards address Of
welcome was q fine effort, forcible in
thought ana eloquent In expression. A
novel feature Of the entertainment was
the speeches Of Judge Parsons, Of Doland,
and Lieutenant Jacob Kinney, Of Aber
deem, late OF what Col Plummer aptly
styled the dead confederacy." They
spoke feelingly Of their meeting after
tWenty five years, and expressed no sepsi-
ment Ia which the gathering could not
heartily concur. AT midnight what was
perhaps the finest banquet ever rendered
10 the deeertmeps was fttiRgly concluded
81 the singing Of ss0ld Shady By Capt
Kellogg, 81 Woonsocket, ia d manner to
stir the sentiments 81 yonng and old alike.

has been the effort to license this vice by
legalized immortality, so as to evade its
natural consequence, loathsome diseases;
but this has proven a failure in a sanitary
sense, and is morally most ]deplorable, be-
cause it does not check RIGHTEOUSNESS
and only gives man a safe Indulgence.
Society never forgives in a woman what it
condones in a man.
Mrs. Armston Grant was then intro
duced. She has been engaged in the
work for twenty-five years. She vouched
for the truthfuIness of Mr.. Steyad's charges
as published in the Pail Mall Gazette,
saying that she would stake her life for
their correctness. She denOunc-
ed the British government
blue books as containing stories of the
wrong doings of the peers Of Great Brit
ain, even worse than those published IN
the Pail Mall Gazette. Girls, before there
was legislation in the matter, were taken
in drOyes by PROGRESSES to the continent
to fill houses of iII-fame under the pre-
tense of getting them places at service.
Now ladies of high character and stand
ing are to be found at all seaport towns
and railroad stations to guard unsuspect-
ing girls who may be thus deluded by
false advertisements. She intimated that
a 10 should know how often chill
dren should be born to her, as practically
she is the mother of their minds and souls
as well as their bodily frames. She also
said that the dressing Of our children
should be a moral rs well US a physical
covering.
Harriet B. Shattue said that a wrong to
one was a wrong to all. and that no m
had a right to forgive a man who had
done a wrong to another woman. Mar
rage, she declared, is not a contract, but
an institution of good.
Clara Claiborne Hoffman said that preg-
nant women should receive the same at
tontion as cattle, yet, n~inety-ive times
out of one hundred she is the victim Of
mans lust and she knows it and her ma
ture rebels against it. The horror of lust
full children being brought into the world
will continue until woman Is recognized
as having the right to say when the new
life shall begin. When the parents them
selves are pure they will not stand on diff
ferent grounds of equality with each
other, aud the MAJ will honor anG cherish
his wife instead of loving her and lusting
after her. Parents, when that time ar
rives, win have no shame of teaching
their children the sacred mysteries of life
instead Of having them learn them from
ignorant servants.

therefore vote against all amendments TO

The President recommends.

WAsHNeroE, Marca sO.-The presi-
dent has sent a letter to the civil service
commission recommending the extension
Of the limits Of the classified service, and
also 3 better classification ia the several
departments. He says: I wish the com
mission would revise these cIassiacations
and submit to me a plan which viii as
far as possible make them Uniform and
which win especially remedy the present
condition which permits persons 10 enter
a grade in the service Ia the department
without any examination which In anoth
or department can only be entered after
passing such examination. This, / think,
should be done by extending the limits
Of the classified service rates than By con-
tracing them. One Of the commissioners
said today that the views Of the commits
sion IRE IA full accord with those Of the
president.

A NEW MILITARY ORGANIZATION.

The Artillery and Cavalry Forces of the
G. A. II. Organize at Redheld.
There were a great many heavy Grim
son artillery and dashing yellow cavalry
badges worn by members of the G. A. r.
at the Redfeld enCampment. The num-
Der of their cOlors and the martial bearing
of the wearers served to emphasize the
fact that the cannon and sabre were i'm
portant factors in settling the "recent un-
p~leasantness" and that there are many
old members of these branches of the SER
vice in Dakota. Captains Seth NJ. Laird,
of Pierre, and H. n. Baker, of Fargo,
meeting for the first time since their com
panies were mustered ont, while discuss
ing the achievements of their respective
batteries, the Fourteenth Ohio artillery,
aud the First Ohio volunteer artillery,

association within the G. A. r. composed
of aTtillerymen and Cavalrymen, and
at & meeting held on Thursday an organ
izatlon was perfected with the following
officers:
Commander-Capt. S. NJ. Laird, Pierre.
S. V. Com.-TheO. D. KanOuse, WOOn-
socket.
J. V. Comb. Stewart, Hot Springs.
Eugene Huntington, Web
ster.

that q meeting subject to the call of the
commander should be held at or before
the time of the next G.. A. r. enCamp-
ment.

made a committee to prepare a constitu-
ton and bylaws and to take the neces-
sary steps to perfect the organization.

grayed "Cora to Chaska.h The Indian
