1T Is GROWING.

In certain Republican circles there is
good deal OF anxiety over the fact that
leading state paper of Iowa, which ey-
ertS considerable influence, and which.
In its hitherto ardent support of Mr..
BLAINE, has been supposed also to be
in favor of maintaining the tariff at its
present standard, has come out fiatlv
for tariff reduction and has declared
that the best interests of the people can
not be served by supporting Republican
leaders who are preaching the doctrine
of tariff retention.
Eastern Republicans, whether friends
of Mr. BLAINE or not, who continue to
favor the high tariff might as we'll make
up their minds once for all that in the
West the anti-tariff sentiment is grow
ing so rapidly that it is ceasing to form
line of demarkation between the two
great parties. 1t is the one question
upon which they are very nearly in ac-
cord, and with which politics should
have nothing to do.
Experience of the NEST practical kind,
the kind which touches their pocket
books, has taught them that the pres
ent tariff is oppressive and unjust. With
characteristic independence. Western
people, whether Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, have decided that they have paid
tribute to the tariff-fostered monopo-
lists long enough, and that they will do
no more of it.
Consequently, however anxious they
may be, it should not be surprising thing
to Eastern prOtectiOniStS. who are iden-
tilted with theRepublican party because
that party has enabled them to exact
their tribute, that Western Republicans
are beginning to break away from party
tenetS and party traditions. They want
relief, and since that relief has been de-
MED them in the house of their friends
it is only natural that they should seek
it wherever offered.

A Quartette of G. A. II. Men De-
clare That the Former Made

A Quartette OF U. A. Il. Men De-
clare That the Former Made
the State Fair Success---A
Story About the Sham Battle.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Your MankatO corr respondent, under
date of Jan. 2, seems to infer that PresI-
dent Merriam, of the State Agricultural
society, was mainly responsible for the
success of the State fair the past year.
1t is due to Gov. McGill, and to the peo-
pie of the state, that the true inward
ness of that success should be more gen.
orally known. Every one who knows
anything about the State fair knows
that the only successful day was the
last one, a day that has heretofore
always been losing one.
Having been members of the commit
tee that engineered that day through to
successful termination, we are sup
posed to know something about it. And
now for few facts: When the COM
mittee approached the secretary of
the Agricultural society, Oh the evening
previous to the day of the sham battle,
and asked that men be furnished to
throw up breaStwOrkS, and that addi-
tiOnal police protection be furnished in
anticipation of the large crowd of peo-
pie who would witness the ''battle" on
the following day, and were met with
the reply that the men could not be fur
niShed; that the society was 'between
eight and ten thousand dollars in the
hole" and they must curtail expenses
on every possible point. Now, if the
state fair was success it was attributa-
bic to the last day and the active part
the veterans took in it, How was this
accomplished when the secretary of
war declined to supply the necessary
arms, and without arms the battle could
not be fought? Gov McGill was applied
to as a last resort. He responded nobly,
furnishing us with letters to the gov
errors of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa,
becoming responsible for the safe return
OF war material, even giving his per-
sonal bond of $1,000 as security. He
gave us his influence with the railroad
companies for transportation, furnished
us the use of the state tents, artillery
and militia forces, and did all in his
power for the success of the enterprise.
Without this aid the battle would have to
have been declared off, and the State Fair
association would have been deeper in
the ''hole" than ever. Then there can
be no reason why Gov. McGill did not do
more for the success of the fair than
even the president of the State Agri-
cultural society, under whose admins
tration for seven days it had been a
failure. Gov. McGlll may or may net
be good governor for the politicians,
but for the people he is certainly a
pronounced success, and we still be-
lieve that the interests of the people
Outrank any other. C. w. CURTIS,

BISHOP VS.. SISTERS.
A Big Row Over Young Ladies
School at Pittsburg.


School at Pittsburg.
Special to the Globe.
PfrTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 15.-The Times
tO-Iiibrrow will publish a two-cOlumn
article, Of which the following is con-
densation: Shortly after the Franco
Prussian war nine choir nuns came to
Pittsburg from France to establish a
school for young ladies. The nuns,
under the leadership OF Mother Superior
Nine. AlphOnSe, contributed from their
own pockets sums of money ranging
from $1,000 upwards, purchased land
and - erected buildings thereon. They
secured charter from the state OF
Pennsylvania for an educational
institution. No mention of re-
ligi0h is made in the charter, but
the incorporates are described as men,
bers'Of the UrSuline order Of the nuns.
These ladies by teaching have made a
great deal of money, have erected new
buildings, and the property is now
along been a conflict of authority be-
tween the bishop of the diocese and the
sisters. The bishop claimed right to
control the conduct of affairs by
virtue of his spiritual superiority.
Sister AlphonsO took the position that,
although Catholics, the sisters were the
real directors, having built mp and
maintained the school by their own ex-
ertiOns. They were confirmed in this
view some time since by John Barton,
Esq.,, their attorney. But Mr.. Barton
states that the sisters, for some reason,
would not follow his advice. TO-da
the property was advertised for sale,
but the real estate agents in whose
hands 1T is placed are not at liberty to
divulge for whose benefit the sale is to
be made. Recently the bishop de-
posed Nine. Alphonse and ap-
pointed another nun to be Mother
Superior. Six or seven of the original
nine nuns have decided to follow Mother
AlphOnse, and it is probable that they
will return to France. Interest centers
on the disposition of the property. Will
the UrSuline nuns exercise their legal
rights to receive the proceeds of the
sale? Additional interest attaches to the
case from the statement made by lady,
a member of one of the oldest Pittsburg
families, that Madame Alphonse is a
duchess of France, and that another of
the nuns, Sister Emanuel, is Bourbon
countess and cousin of eX-Empress
Eugene.

Her Hand in the Wrong Pocke,

A4CL AlohO HI WIG w EouS oCACC
A Iaughable incident of the street was
the one witnessed OH Thursday after
noon in front of jewelry store, in
whose show window was displayed a
gorgeous array of gems and ornaments,
all lying in bed of WhiteSt cotton.
Among the throng gathered in front of
this display were a man and his wife.
The man wore big ulster, with a wide
pocket at either side. The day was
cold, and the nose of the wife needed
frequent attention, which she gave it by
reaching in her husbands ulster pocket
for a handkerchief apparently kept there
for family use. 1t certainly was a
most convenient place. But in luckleSs
moment the husband left the wife's side
and moved a little ways off, that he
might better inspect piece of jewelry
that had attracted his attention. The
wife. unaware of his change of base,
made some remark about the iewelry,
and then showed her hand into the
pocket of the ulster that was by her
side and brought forth bid and red
handkerchief, which she proceeded to
use without delay. Excuse me. mad
ame," said a grutf-voiced stranger at
side, '.but that's my handkerchief,
and" For answer the poor woman
threw the handkerchief in the mans
face, gave utterance to little scream,
and sought protection on the arm of the
ulster, to which she had been duly
welded. A word explained all, and a
litter went round the crowd.

PEACEFUL PURSUITS.
How the Notorious Younger Broth
ers Are Employed in State

TOW the NOTORIOUS Il Ounger Broth
ers Are Employed in State
Prison.
While on his recent visit to Minnesota
Deputy State Labor Commissioner Dris-
coll visited. among other places of i'll
tereSt, the state penitentIary at Still
water, where, among other criminal
nOtableS, are confined the three remain
ing Younger brothers, who gained an
unenviable reputation all over the cOun-
try as members of the famous James
gang OF outlaws, says the Denver Re-
publican. There were originally four
of the Younger boys sentenced for life,
but one of them has died since his in
generation. The three remaining were
looking well and hearty, and seemed as
cOntented as could be expected of men
whose prospects in life were all within
prison bars. Cole, the eldest, is en-
plOyed as the librarian of the institu-
ton; James, or ''Jim," as he was for
merly called, is the postmaster, and the
other brother is employed in clerical
work in one of the other departments of
the prison.
The extreme rigor of prison discipline
has been slightly relaxed in the case of
the brothers. The rules, as usual, re-
quire that all prisoners shall be clad in
striped clothing, have their hair closely
cropped and closely shaven faces. The
YOungerS wear striped pants, but in
stead of the stripes running horizon
tally, which is the usual rule, their
zebra-like Ornamentation ran perpen-
dicularly. Cole Younger wears mus
tache and gOatee and has hair of mod
crate length, nicely trimmed. James
had his face smooth. but his hair was
not cut cloSely.o
The library Mr.. Driscoll describes as
quite neat,looking apartment with
white walls. The books are nicely COW
cred with paper and properly labeled
and arranged upon shelves. Cole con-
versed quite freely and inteIligently
with his visitors, but his ideas upon
morality were somewhat peculiar.
Speaking of numerous and Intellectual
efforts which had been made for their
release, Cole said that of course every
body wanted liberty. if it could be OBJ
tanned, but if he could not get his lib
erty he was better satisfied to remain in
the Saltwater prison than he would

Gallagher in Hard Luck.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-W. J. Gallagher,
who was concerned in the notorious
ballOt-bOx stuffing frauds which nearly
deprived Gen. Logan of a seat in the
senate and for which Joseph G.. Mackin
is still in the penitentiary, was in Chi
cago to-day awaiting the legal prelimin-
aries necessary to transfer him from a
prison cell at Joliet TO another at Phila-
delphia. Gallagher's sentence at Joliet
expired last evening. He was arrested
on the threshold upon an old indictment
against him, charging that eight years
ago he forged the name of Abraham
Thompson, a member of the city cOun-
ell of Philadelphia, to a note for a small
amount. He will have habeas corpus
hearing tomorrow before Judge Shep-
ard, and unless some technicality inter
yenes will then probably start at once
for PHILADELPHIA

An upright Judge, most learned
Judge" SuYLoCK declared PORTIA to
be; and could he appear before the able
Judge GRESHAM to-day he would have
good cause to repeat the same assertion.
Judge GRESHAM has won an enviable
share of public opinion, and is recog-
niZed by the press as one of the few
public men whose merits can be con-
Scientiously eXtOlled. For Judge
GRESHAM and the newspapers have
always been excellent friends. The
reason is not far to seek. 1t appears in
recent public utterance of his, in
which he said that he had always gotten
along we'll with newspaper men, be-
cause he had treated them fairly, and
with confidence.
When he possessed information of in
tereSt 10 the public he was always ready
to diyulge it freely, and when it was
necessary TO give the newspaper men
information, the divulging of which
would be inimical to the public interest,
but which was necessary in order that
that which might be published should
be better understood by the newspaper
men, he had found that he could rely
upon promise of secrecy, and that but
in one case had his confidence ever been
violated. As for public men being mis-
quoted, he believed that when there was
a question of veracity raised the inter-
viewed was wrong more frequently THAI
the interviewer, trained to be accurate
Judge GRESHAM is precisely correct.
A newspaper man who is not disgrace
TO his profession will never betray a
confidence.
Even if he had no conscientious scru-
pies in the matter, policy would enjoin
him TO secrecy, for he knows we'll that
he need never expect information sec
Ond time from the man whose confidence
he has once abused. The man who says
frankly: Such and such things | will
tell you for your personal guidance, on
condition that you promise not to pub
liSh them" is always assured Of better
treatment from the press than the one
who CURLY says: "I'll tell you nothing;
you newspaper fellows never get any,
thing right anyway" As for inaccur-
ate interviews, the reporter has no other
interest than correctly reporting the
remarks of the man interviewed, and in
nine cases out of ten experience has
shown that he is not at fault when the
question of veracity is raised.
The trouble usually is that many public
men have an overwhelming and eXag-
gerated sense of their own Importance,
and though refusing accurate informa-
ton themselves, ARE the first to denounce
the reporter who, getting news the best
way he can, must sometimes be con-
tent with it in an incomplete shape.
Treat the newspaper men with frank
ness and confidence, and it will be
strange. indeed, if you have anything
of which to complain.

NoRTH ADAMS, Mass, Jan. 15.-Ths
following story comes from Hancock,
an isolated hill town near the New
York state line: Carrie BrOckaway,
aged eighteen, has been receiving at.
tention from Washington Sweet. Farmer
Brockaway, her father, and brothers
objected and warned Sweet to desist.
The warning was disregarded. Brock
away and his two sons armed them
selves and went to Sweets house. Sweet
learned OF their coming and barricaded
the house. When admittance was de-
manded Sweet shot from a window,
seriously wOunding one of the sons in
the hip. The shooting continued on
both sides for some time. Finally
the shots from within ceased.
just then Carrie, having heard of the
action of her father and brothers,
reached the scene. She cried to her
lover not to shoot as the BrockaWays
approached the house. When the door
was forced open Sweet was found ap-
parently dead, with bullet hole in his
neck. The girl frantically upbraided
her relatives, and, Selling a carving
knife from table. cut her throat and
fell dead across Sweets body. Sweet
revived, but will probably die The in
habitantS of the village, mostly French
canadians, are greatly excited. and as
they are taking sides for and against
the BrockawaYS, the ilI-feeling may re-
suit Ill more violence.

New Way of Stocking I'm.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 15.-Edward F.
Allen, for several years a salesman in
the employ of Davis d. Hunt, hardware
dealers at No. lat Ontario street. left
the employ of that firm Jan. to engage
III business for himself. For some time
past Davis IL Hunt have been missing
valuable bronze builders hardware
from their stock. For some reason they
suspected that Allen had been robbing
them. Late last night visit was paid
to his stOrerO0m on Euclid avenue, and
a large quantity of the stolen goods
found there. Four wagon loads were
secured, and it is estimated that the
stealings will amount to several thou
sand dollars. Allen confessed his guilt,
but the firm have not yet decided
whether to prosecute him or not. Allen
obtained the goods by sending out dup
plicate orders by the delivery messenger
of Davis & Hunt, who left them at
Aliens store.

men, accompanied by the sheriff of this

was fired on twelve or fifteen times by
the detectives, but made a miraculous
escape. 1t is reported that ball from
a revolver passed through his shirt col

people here. The young men had lately
moved back from Texas where they
have been living for short time. and
