CHICAGO, June 22.-No sooner was

began demonstration to the end of

Col. IngerSoll came forward in amiable

EXPOSING DARK TRICKS

If there is one state official who. in
the discharge of certain of his duties.
needs the assistance of the state press
and people, it is Insurance Commissioner
SHANDREw. The position in which he
is placed by the laws of the state
toward assessment life insurance asso-
Citations is an embarrassing one.
With complaints dinned into his ears
day after day against the misrepre-
sensations of agents and the misman-
agement Of assessment insurance asso-
Citations, he is forced to pass them un-
noticed, because the legislature. with
criminal neglect, has failed to pass a
law that will reach them.
The GLOBE proposes to help Mr..
SHANDREw. In its own way it has
taken up this matter of assessment life
insurance. 1t proposes to show I'D the
good and bad sides of it, and in doing
so invites the people to write to it. tell
ing of all just grounds for complaint
against assessment associations. The
GLOBE wishes to do no injustice to anv
honest and decently managed associa-
ton. But it seeks to create Since we
have no law a public sentiment on
assessment insurance that will demand
and secure next winter a just law.
Read carefully our publication of to-
day, think of it, call to mind instances
of injustice done you or any one else by
these companies, and then tell the
GLOBE about it. If you do your duty
as the GLOBE is prepared to do its, ras-
cally agents and unsound companies
will awake to the fact that Minnesota is
an unhealthy place to operate in.

MAD UNTO DEATH.

Our closing dispatches from Chicago
last night say of the scenes at the
adjournment: sit was as perfect a
scene of anarchy as Chicago has ever
Witnessed, The eloquent INGERsoLL,

howled before him, turned away with
an expression of contempt upon his

"Whom the gods would destroy they

The deities on the Olympus of Ameri-
can politics have without doubt poured
into the brains of our Republican
brothers maddening fluid that impels
them Oh to certain death. Blind to their
better interests, needless of the voice of
the hour, reckless as to men or meas

''He who may and will not see when
duty calls to higher paths, must
drink to dregs the cup of death, and
pass away in shame and sore dishonor."

Pioneer Press OF June % on Re-
publican Platform:

1t is out of this intense spirit of pa
triotism that has grown its ardent adj
vocacy of the system of protection to
American labor through the imposition
of high duties on the competing foreign
product. Illogical, absurd and unjust
as this system can easily be proved to
be from the point of view of the theo-
retlc economist, there can be no QueS-
ton that as a matter of fact the country
has tiourished under it during the last
quarter of a century as never before in
Its history. This simple fact outweighS
IN the popular Judgment all the theo-
rleS OF the economists who have insisted
that the country fiourished in spite of
the tariff; not in consequence of it.
And that is the reason why the Repub-
llcan party, from one Quadrennial
election to another, has grown
more positive, more earnest and
more aggressive in defense of this sys-
tenn. 1t began by apologizing for the
Morrill, tariff levied at the beginning of
the war to meet its revenue necessities,
and by promising a reduction of duties
as soon as these necessities would per-
NIT. These promises were renewed
from time to time, in more OF less equiv
ocal language, but have grown fainter
as experience seemed to have proved
the beneficial effects of high tariff,
and as public sentiment in favor of that
policy grew stronger with the more eX-
tensive development and wider diffu-
sion of the protected interests through
out all sections of the country. The
Republican party in 1884 felt compelled
to favor judiciOuS revision of the tariff.
In 1888 the national convention, rising
to its feet as one man, with a united
yell Of enthusiastic reclamation, APP
plauds the declaration III substance that
the tariff must be maintained unchange-
ably as it is; and that the internal taxes
on tobacco, alcohol and whisky must be
swept away rather than reduce any pro-
tective duty one iota.

BEGINNING OF THE END.

Something like order begins to be OBJ
served in the chaos at Chicago. The
beginning of the end is plainly per-
ceptible, and before the Setting of to-
days sun it will probably be reached.
1t began last night with the withdrawal
OF DEPEw from the presidential race.
The situation at once became less
complicated, and, though looming up
big before each delegates eyes appeared
the eventual and inevitable result, an
adjournment was Immediately taken in
order that succeeding events might be
fashioned without mistake, and with an
appearance Of due deliberatioh. Mr..
DEPEw will make many friends by the
speech in which he Withdrew his name.
His ambition was honorable and his
bearing has been dignified. His man
her of withdrawal was temperate,
manly and generous. Though pointing
out what he conceived to be the injustice
of opposition to him because of his rail-
road connections, he showed clearly his
appreciation of the fact that a great
number of his fellow citizens do not
share his views as to the enforcement of
railroad influences aud politics.
Recognizing that feeling, it was with
rare good sense that he. bowed to it and
declined to make himself antagonistic
to it. This is what appears upon the
surface, and from this standpoint Mr..
DEPEw is entitled to all credit for his
discernment and straightforwardness.
But there is another point of view.
Though Mr.. DEPEw was the apparent
first choice of the New York delegation.
the fact is notorious that it really fayors
Mr. BLAINE. 1t is also well understood
taat there is well defined intention to
bring BLAINE'S name forward at some
suspicious juncture.
This pregnant moment is to be deter
mined by the New York delegation. 1t
was to come when the advocacy of Mr.
DEPEw should seem no longer adyisa-
bic, OF, in other words. when the con-
vention was ripe for the mention of
BLAiNE'S name. Exactly stated, it will
come with to-day's early balloting. This
much is pretty clear from the readiness
with which the convention adjourned
when it was known that New York
'ONA' nv iOhs7SA oNppOio 1HS
SHERMAN men, who fear the BLAINE
movement alone, attempted to prevent it,
but could muster only 2S2 votes. the sum
total of their strength. The remainder
may be considered either as BLAINE
men or as favoring the plans of the
BLAINE managers.
The real point of contention, the rela-
tive strength Of BLAINE and SHERMAN,
at last begins to appear. There can be
little doubt as to the manner of its de-
ciSiOn. 1t may come as the breaking OF
deadlock, the only way in which Mr..
BLAINE is understood to be willing to
accept the nomination; but that it will
come some time to-day seems to be, from
present appearances, the only logical
solution of the situation.
With the pushing of BLAINE to the
first place, the friends of HARRISON
will justly entertain strong hope of the
selection Of their favorite as his run
ming mate.

But the great majority of people are
convinced that important changes in
the direction of reduction may be made
without the slightest danger of either
of these results. They know that from
the revenue from imports by adding to
the free list. with no more effect upon
domestic industry than upon the moon.
They know that a long list of raw ma
terials, which are either not produced
here at all or produced as cheaply as
they are anywhere in the world,
could also be relieved of duty
They know that most of the tariff
schedules, by a complicated application
of both the specific and the ad valorem
methods of calculating duties, create
just such hardShips as we have exposed
in the case of cotton goods, where the
highest-priced varieties pay but 40 per
cent, while some of the cheaper goods
pay as high as PSI per cent. They know
that there is neither necessity nor
justice in the imposition of duties that
range all the way from 66 per cent to $50
and upwards. They know that tariff
system which contains inequalities that
verge so closely upon iniqultieS needs
revision, and that the condition both of
national industry and national finances
is proof that the revision should
take the direction of reduction.
The politicians and the organs which
have held that the tariff is too sacred to
be touched are beginning to discover
how small is the following which such
doctrine can command. They are learn
ing the truth of what the Pioneer Press
told them frankly long ago, that it will
not be safe for any party to attempt to
Ntr.t-f
of uncompromising hostility to all tariff
changes, and unyielding refusal to con-
cede anything to the host of voters who
believe in tariff reform.

Watertown High school received their
parchments this evening and bore their

in number, makes up in intellectually
what it lacks numerically, being COM
posed of some of the brightest young
ladies in the city. Their names are:
Hattie Stone, Cora Wiley, Rose Mulhol-
land, Minnie Mcintyre and Mabel
Kingsbury. The graduating exercises
were held in the Grand opera house,
and were of very interesting character,
each young lady presenting an original
thesis, all of which would do credit to
larger, older and more pretentiouS
classes. A very pleasing feature of the
evenings entertainment was the sing
ing of Mrs. A. III. Darlington, Miss
Grace East, DR.. Adams and Hal Fahne-

ably filled with the elite of the city.
The decorations were elaborate and
artistic, the floral display being the
finest ever seen in this city.

THE WEST IGNORED.

The arrogance of the East in its rela-

noted, but never did it stand out so CON
spieuously as in the formation of the
Republican platform.
The East practically controls the pres
ent Republican convention. Its mana
gers are largely Easterners-and
monopolists. They are wealthy men,
and their wealth has been piled up
through the operation of high tariff
laws. which have enabled them to exact
t.ibute from the whole body of con-

But the point to be emphasized is Just
this: 1t is exactly as reasonable to
claim that the total fall in price, the
total increase in manufacture and the
total addition to consumption are due
to the removal of this duty as it is to
claim that similar changes in other
branches OF industry are owing to duties
which have been retained. If we are
to say that the progress in metal manu-
facture, the Increased value of the total
product, the reduction in prices and
the Increased employment furnished to
labor are, all and single, the work of a
high tariff, then we must admit
that precisely the same results, in
the case of Quinine, are the work
OF no tariff at all. The argument is one
Which destroys itself the moment that
IL is submitted to the test OF practical
examination and illustration. The facts
which are really proved are interesting
enough. These are that growth of in
duStrles in the United States follow di-
rectly and naturally upon growth in
population and wealth; that high wages
are c0ncomitant OF abundant natura,
resources and a comparative scarcity of
TABOR; and that many of our industries
are, as the business of manufacturing
qulnlne proves to have been, despite the
protests of interested parties, able to
sustain themselves and to flourish III the
race of free competition. Therefore
have the people of the country, without
distinction OF party, demanded that I'M
necessarily high taxes be reduced.

Whatever may be thought of this
position in states which are largely
agricultural, like Minnesota. the Pho
neer Press is strongly inclined to believe
that there is good ground for the Re-
publican confidence that upon this issue
it can carry the country. Public senti-
ment does not favor any sweeping or
violent reduction of the tariff at pres
ent. There is general apprehension
i'll both parties that the industrial pros
perity of the country will be leopard
lied by any such measure as the Mills
bill.
