AFTER CHICKENS,
Some of the Sports Who Are Out

Some of the Sports Who Are Out
of Town.
This is the first day of the year upon
which prairie chickens can be legally
shot. Reports from the country are to
the effect that as the farmers are not
through cutting their crops, the birds
are small and are not very plentiful.
1t will be something like a couple
of weeks before the birds are at the
best, but. nevertheless, there has never
been time when there has been SO
much chicken shooting talk, and such
a general exodus from the
city of sportsmen as is prom
The Big Stone lake country and
the fields along the line of the 500 road
seem to attract the greater numbers,
although the old hunters have their fa-
vorite locations to which they quietly

THE FOURTH WARD WAR.
A. ID. Smith Has Something to Say
on His Arrest.


The war continues in the third pre-
clnct OF the Fourth ward, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the county convention
is over. G. B. Mabon, it appears has
not sufficiently satisfied his thirst for
gore, and, not content with stirring the
animals up with his Free Lance,
has carried what he consid-o
ers. his grievance into court.a
Yesterday he swore out warrant
charging A. ID. Smith, against whom he
seems to be particularly wroth, with
violating section 101 of the election
laws, IN that as an Inspector of the eau
Gus held Friday night he prevented
properly qualified voters from voting by
closing the polls prematurely and re-
fused to allow electors to vote, and
fraudulently counted ballots illegally
cast, two being folded together and cast
by one person; that he wrongfully con-
cealed and destroyed legal ballots, and
failed and refused to conduct the election
according to the general laws of 1887.
Secondly. that he received and counted
the vote of stranger believed to be
nonresident of the precinct after said
stranger was duly challenged by Joseph
keatty, a qualified elector of the pre-
cinct, and without said stranger swear
ing in his vote, he being known by In
spector Smith not to be entitled to
vote without swearing in his vote.
MIR. Smith, upon hearing that war
rant had been issued. Immediately went
to the municipal court. After ejaculat-
ing, ION, the beast" and firing off a
supply. of prOfane pyrotechnics, gave
bonds in $500 for his appearance Aug.

Connolly as sureties. Characteristic
ally he incorporated in the bond he
gave his favorite pet name 0he
BEAST, Immediately after C. B. Maben.

He's sore because we beat him 1873 to
II, and by 211 to 20 at the caucus be-
fore. Why don't he have James Burns
and W. w. Mcfarland, the other in
spectors, arrested? Oh. I'll show him.
shall prosecute him for both criminal
and civil libel for his attacks upon me
In his dirty little paper and this out
rageOuS arrest. The caucus was fairly
cond ucted, and the polls were closed by
the unanimous consent of the inspect
ors because no one else wanted to vote.
No double ballots were counted, and
only one was found. Not a challenge
was made, either. l shall have more to
say of this later''

The interview of j. n. Castle, pub
lished in the Minneapolis Tribune of
Saturday last, was distributed in the
form of circular yesterday upon the

article Messrs. ]. S. O'Brien and j. c.

thus rendered. Said Mr.. O'Gorman:

WAGES AND TARIFF.
c. j. Buell. EXplodes the Fallacy
of ENGLISH Com riSnns

At the meeting of the Tariff and
Municipal Reform club held last even
ing at 1908 Franklin avenue south, an
address was made by c. j. Buell. Oh the
effect of the Tariff on Wages" Mr..
Buell. was well supplied with facts and
figures to back up his statements that
wages were invariably lower in countries
which had high protective tariff than
in those having low tariff or no tariff
at all. He said that the Republican
speakers, in order to miSlead the peo-
pie, often compare the wages paid in
this country with those paid in free
trade England, and then ask the ques-
ton: lis not this difference in wages
because we have a protective tariff?''
Now if they are honest why do they not
compare England with some other
tnickly populated country with
high protective tariff, or else
compare the United States with
some new country like Australia?
Wages in free-trade England are one
third higher than they are in protected
Germany, and yet there are $50 people
to the square mile in England and only
800 to the square mile in Germany; and
the only way they can make COM
parisOn to suit their side of the
question is to compare England
WIN Hel 4oo peopIe 10 tile Hllo
with the United States with but twenty
people to the square mile. And then
they forget to tell you that workman
in this country is expected to perform
three times as much work in a day as
would be expected of him in England.
"Why should not the wages be a trife
more in this country?" he asked;
land yet piece work is better paid
in England than it is in this
country to-day and the necessaries of
life are great deal cheaper He
then read a statement of the wages paid
in England and Germany, and in the
United States and Australia to prove
that protection did not increase wages.

People say they can't un-
derstand the tariff. We
don't blame them forgetting
things mixed, considering the
Republican arguments and
the actual facts. For in
stance, the Republicans as
sure the people that the
.tHOme Market" is the best
thing for them. The Home
Market, the Home Market,
they all cry: Let's see. what
the Home Market is. Gen.
Gurfeld, the last President
who will ever be elected by
the Republican party, has
given us Il practical sxplana-
,tion of the Home Market.
Gen. Garfield said that he
had seen salt. made here in
the United States carried
across the Lakes over into
Canada and sold there at one
(. dollar 4 barrel less than the
saine salt was selling for
lien Oh this sideof the Lakes.
That is, if it cost $1.O d
J barrcll to make that salt,
sthe inanuIacturers sold II
III Canada at $1.75, and
s0ld it III the Home Market
ut $2.75. The beauty Of the
Home Market ia thus very
evident. 1t may be hard fol
the people to appreciate if
hut there Is indeed nothing
like the Home Market. Ev
erybody who has anything
to sell ought to haven HON,
