THE MINNESOTA FEELING.

A Chicago contemporary calls attention
to the fact that, though in Minnesota
there exists well-defned hostility to
the continuance of high tariff, the
opinions of this state, with the other So
called granger" states, were entirely
ignored in the convention which adopted
the acknowledgements platform.
For the information of our contem-
porary we may say that Minnesota has
taken note of that fact. She has made
her demand, based upon the broad
ground of common justice, and she has
met with a fiat refusal. She is not
likely to forget that fact soon. Mime
sOtians, without distinction of party, are
terribly in earnest in their demand for
a reduction of tariff taxation.
For long time they suffered and en-
dured in silence, thinking there was a
necessity for such endurance, but they
have been enlightened and aroused at
last. They know they ask only what
in common fairness should be granted
them, and they are not going to submit
tamely to continued arrogant refusal
from the money kings and monopolists
who control the Republican party and
have the power of dictation.
The feeling is growing every day, and
when the ballots are counted next
November our contemporary will have
a practical and satisfactory demonstra-
ton of its intensity.

FORAKER, he never bobbed up again.


JAY GOULD was not in the convention,
but his hired men were there in
such numbers as to make his presence
unnecessary. ESTEE, the chairman, was
defeated as candidate for governor Of
California on the ground that he was
HUNTINGToN's railroad attorney. Ell
KINs, the general manager of the con-
vention, is GoULD's right bower; while
DEPEw, who led over the New York del
egatiOn to HARRISON, is the head of the
VANDERBILT system. The railroad cor
poratiOns, the iron masters and the coal
baronS pooled issues and swept the
deck. The convention was theirs, the
ticket is theirs, and the platform is
theirs.
GEORGE B. EDGERToN, of Kasson,
and WILLIAM j. FREANEY, of st. Paul,
were the two most popular members of
the Minnesota delegation. They looked
after the visiting Minnesotians, and en-
deavored to make things comfortable
for the visitors.
Poor GRESHAM, the only candidate
who represented the interests of the
farmers and the working classes, was
ruthlessly crushed beneath the iron heel
of monopoly. He had no more show
for nomination in that convention
than BOB INGERSOLL has for heaven.

Fight.
SEATTLE, W. T., June 27-The steam
schooner Leo arrived yesterday from
Alaska. Among her passengers were
twenty-five miners and prospectors who
report a fatal conflict between two
tribes of Alaska Indians, the Chilcats
and Sitkas. The former hold
monopoly for freighting for miners
from the coast to the mines and refuse
to allow the other indians to engage in
business, and sometimes Interfere with
white men who attempt to carry their
own baggage. They charge eXorbitant
prices and make over 81 day.
Two weeks ago large party of pros
pee tors started up the Yukon with a
tribe of Sitka Indians under Chief
George as freighterS. A conflict re-
suited, in which the chief of the Chill
cats was killed. The Indians demaded
life for life and chased the Sitkas into
Haines, a white. settlement. The
whites protected the life of Chief
George during the day, but at night he
was murdered by the stealthy Chilcats.
Fearing massacre. the whites sent to
the coast for help, which arrived just in
time in the shape of a man-Of-war. The
prospectOrs say the Chilcats are very
insolent, and are being urged to more
violence by the widow Of the murdered
chief. They also say that white man
has slim protection from the avaricOuS
and murderouS redskins.

Judge Macdonald expressed himself
as greatly gratified with the public lands

finale of season of seven months hard

of the bill which affects the people of

instrumental in the formation of the
bill, and Chairman Holman to-day said :
II sought the advice of the Minnesota
