GEN. HARRISON'S STRENGTH
A Minnesota Congressman Considers
Harrison to BE the Strongest Nan.
Reasons Why Mr.. Linde, the Young Nor
wegisn, Fsvors the Indiana Candidate
General Harrison's Strength Elsewhere.


Mr. Linde of Minnesota, Comes to Believe
that Harrison Is the Strongest Man.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May s--Representat Linde,
of Minnesota, is Norwegian. aud one Of the
brightest young men in the House he has not
only powerful influence over the foreien-born
people of his State. but the most profound re-
spect OF every intelligent citizen He IL
student, and . close observer OF public affairs
To-day l had Q talk with him about the sp-
preaching campaign, aud the strength OF the
various Republicans named for the presidential
nomination.

iuasmuch a. he had been out Of political ONCE.
and had not participated actively in the affairs
which make political records and political enc
mics. he would be the best man for the Repub-
licans to nominate. I am a. ardent Republic
an as can DO, out believe in moderation IN all
affairs which affect tho whole people. have
talked to most Of tho Republicans in ths House
on the presidential outlook and have come to
the conclusion that Judge Gresham would not
be as strong as other men before the people,
and whose names may be presented IN the Chi
cage convention. We look with great favor on
Senators Sherman and Allison In Minnesota,
and Mr.. Blaine has q strong hold upon the
hearts OF the people there. But i have learned
SO much, recently, about General Harrison, OF
Indiana. that have come to not only admire
him greatly. but to prefer him first for the pres
Dental nomination. Harrison is neither young
nor old. In age he takes that happy middle
ground. which gives him matured experiences,
sound judgments. and yet retains 10 him the
energy and vigor of young manhood. He has
spotless character, and has demonstrated his
genuine qualities in every way. The Republic
ans not only from Indiana, but q number OF
States in the East, speak with universal favor
Of General Harrison. and seem to be very en-
thusiastic for him. The enthusiasm Is spread

Sim COYS DTSHONOR.

Sim Coy's appearance as witness in the
trial just closed was remarkable and his testi-
mony extraordinary. He came into court as
a man already convicted of crime to vindicate
himself and shield those who were particeps
criminis. His bearing and manner were in
decent and offensive. They were character
lied by the bravado which, from the begin
ming. has sssisted him in playing the role of
an innocent, prosecuted man. His testimony
contained some remarkable features. It was
a bold denial of all that has been proved
against him, and plea Of POLITICAL justifca-
ton. 1t showed an utter lack Of moral sense.
Among other things, he testified that juror
Messick, in the former trial, assured him he
would stand by him; that Messick said he
would ''hang the jury till he rotted, and
that she kept me posted until ne last mo-
ment, when he went into the jury-room, and
then deserted me-" Coy admitted that ne
thought he had the jury fixed. but that Mes
sick's treachery ruined his plans If this is
true, it shows Coy's methods and proves
him y scoundrel out of his own mouth.
A more remarkable statement was that q
friend Of bis, whom be designated as "a gen.
tleman of this city, acted in the former trial as
''go- between" for him and Messick, and had
kept him CONSTANTLY iaformsd = to the iarers

A CAUCUS of Democratic members Of the
House of Representatives was held last night
for the purpose of passing on such amend
ments to the Mills tariff bill az Democratic
members desire to offer. Those approved by
the caucus will be accepted by the Democrat
ic majority and incorporated in the bill Re-
publican amendments are not to receive any
consideration. This method of amending the
bill is in keeping with its origin. It was
framed by Southern Democrats in secret
session of the committee, without giving Re-
publican members or representatives of the
manufacturing interests chance to be heard,
and it is only to be amended by the autocrat-
ic action of an exclusively Democratic caucus.
This is the Democratic idea of legislating for
the public welfare.

BY decision of the Supreme Court of Mis-

ton of the State law prohibiting the sale of
wine or beer on Sundays. The decision is ex-
plicit and conclusive, and the police board of

city has been run on the wide-open plan,
and its large foreign population will make it
difficult to enforce the Sunday Law, but it
should be done. The law must be enforced

Mr.. CHARLES LEVI WOODBURY., an emf
nent Massachusetts, Democrat, publishes a
letter denouncing the fisheries treaty, and
urging the Senate to rejectit. He character
ICES it as a complete surrender of American
rights, and claims all Of its main provisions
represent '1osses to the United States,
both in honor and profit" Concluding, he
says: 'The consequence of adopting this
treaty would be the destruction of the fishery
under the American flag, the paralysis of our
hope of naval power, and British monopoly
of our markets, aggrandizing its dangerous
naval power" And this is the treaty that
was to be feather in the cap of the admins
