The Great Issue.
KNUTE NELSON.
A CONGRESSMAN WHO DIsAGREEs WITH
HIS PARTY ON THE TARIFF
QUESTION.
STEIM r

Congressman Knute Nelson, of the
Fifth District, Minnesota, is oonspiou-
Gus In the public eye, because, though a
republican member Of the house of rep
resentatives, is in favor Of using surplus
money to reduce duties on imports.
That the tariff will furnish the issue for
the coming presidential campaign seems
to be certain, which gives greater In.
terest to what is said about 1t in con-
gress, than even its intrinsic import
ance would otherwise command. Mr..
Nelson's attitude on the subject is one
that excites curiosity as to how far
party lines will be broken down as the
great discussion now beginning shall
develop in intensity.
Knute Nelson lives at Alexandria,
Minnesota. He is Norwegian by birth,
and was forty-five years old on Febru-
ary 2, 1888. When he was between six
and seven years old he was brought to
this country. Mr.. Nelson is well edu-
Gated man, and lawyer with good
practice. He fought In the Federal army
as private and afterward as non-commis-
stoned officer of Wisconsin regiment.
In 1S6S-69 he was member of the Wis
cOnsin legislature. He removed into
Minnesota, and in 1S72-73-74 was prose-
cutting attorney of Douglas county, that
state. Beginning with that of 1876 he
was o state senator four consecutive
terms. MIR. Nelson was a. presidential
ele0tor on the Garfield and Arthur
ticket. He was elected to the forty
eighth congress, and has twice been re-
elected.
Mr.. Nelson enjoys extraordinary local
popularity, as may be inferred from the
fact that he had nearly thirty-six times
as many votes cast for him In the cleo
tion to the present congress as those
cast for his opponent. He is member
of the board of regents Of the state uni
versity of Minnesota.

A Proposition to Shut Out Our Coal OIL as
Dangerous Substance.
NEW YORK, Oct. China, or at least
ZONE OF the officials OF China, wish to retail
ate FOR American Chinese restriction ws
By laws prohibiting the importation Of
American kerosene into China. Chang Chi
tung viceroy OF Canton, has addressed a
memorial to the emperor, in which he AT.
raigbs kerosene as the greatest menace TO the
peace and prosperity of the empire. It
burned up 400 houses in Swallow not long
ago, he says, and just before
that. it destroyed steamer and
cost sOo people their lives. Soon after
ward it burned 900 houses i'm Canton
and destroyed sl0, 1000, 900 worth Of property.
IL is responsible, he says, for nine-tenths Of
the fires that occur every winter in Canton.
lie dee ares that it has done incalculable in
jury 10 life and property. that it Is worse
than opium, being most swift and terrible in
its deadliuess; and that It, has almost lie.
stroyed the native industry in peanut, colzer
and bean oils. On account of its evil deeds
tho vceroy says that he did his best last
year Ia kill tho trade in kerosene Ivy
raising tho inland transit dues on it, but the
fell destroyer was too subtitle to be
driven out by this process. and
the evil was increasing rather than
diminishing. Therefore the viceroy now pc
titions the throne for aid in his struggle with
the foreign trader, who, under tho guise Of
friendship. insists on profting himself by in
Producing an article highly injurious Ia tho
wei are OF China
The v.c,a oy points out that there is no diff
fculty in putting an end to the baneful traf-
lc, because the treaty Of 1851 with America
makes provisions to limit Chinese immgra-
tion to that country ON account of the COM
petition of Chinese labor being Objectionable

TAFFY FOR THE PRINCE.
He Admires american Girls for Their In.
teIloct ~ Well rs Beauty.


teIIoct ~ Well rs Beauty.
London Correspondence ". Y. Home Journal
That the Prince of Wales docs admire
American girls is no secret. But he is
an admirer of everything else American
as well as American girls This admira
ton is sincere and lasting. 1t is not the
mere fleeting fancy of the moment. 1t
is, know, popular, and thought emil
nently smart to say hard things about his
royal highness 1t has become the fash
ion to paint him us self-indulgent,
selfish sensualist 1t pleases the
people who are out of the swim.
and sells the papers which descend
to the publication of royal scandal
But this view of the Princes character is
not taken by those who know him. BY
them he is known to be refined and
cultured gentleman in every sense of the
word, man of experience and observa.
ton, who has travelled much and has
noted what he has seen not only as a
Prince but as man. He has keen
sense of humor is witty and clever a
good linguist and u man of ma
tured tastes and ripe judgment.
Few men can more simply and
yet more thoroughly, or with greater
ease, give. an opinion on any subject
that may come up for discussion and
support it by stable reason. good sense
and sound argument. He takes an in
terest in everything, is never tired, is a
clear and forcible speaker when the oc.
casion requires; brilliant conversations
alist, is charitable, good-hearted, open
minden, generous and kind. OF how
many public men in any country can be
said the same?
1t is not the mere homage of the eye
that he bestows upon American girls,
but the admiration of his intellect. He
recognizes not only their beauty but
their intellectual qualities. 1t is fact
admitted now by everyone pretty gen
orally that American girls are more bril-
liant in conversation. quicker at repartce,
richer in language and power of express
sion, keener in perception and more
pointed and less labored in speech. In
short, beside them English girls seem
sluggish and dull. No men on earth are
quicker to see this difference and TO give
their unqualified appreciation than En-
glishmen. 1t is perhaps hard upon the
English girls. Their strict and straight
laced bringing up and formal training
ever under their mothers watchful eye
has doubtless much to do in curbing and
stunning their natural proportions and
in checking the expansion of mental gifts
which, If given free scope, would have
been inferior to none If so, they are
confronted by the unpleasant realization
that they have wasted their time if such
course of training was intended anC
expected to attract husbands.

ooh, mother, I'm cutl'
Both Mrs. Payne and her daughter
were injured during the scuiile, but not

made by the family to keep the matter
quiet, and in this they were successful

10 pounds He was recently employed
ut Moore's restaurant, on Pennsylvania
avenue, near Sixth street Suber made
his escape and is still ut large.
