DULUTH DEMOCRATS.
Resolutions Adopted Endorsing
the Presidents Tariff Policy.

Special to the Clone.
DULUTH, MIMI, Jan. 20.-A well-at-
tended and enthusiastic meeting of the
Democratic Mesaba club was held this
evening. Sixteen new members were
admitted. The following resolutions
were introduced by r, S. Powell, and
after speeches by City Comptroller j. j.
Z. Davis, Judge Alfred JacqueZ. Judge
Durphey and Receiver Maginnis, of
the land Office, were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, By the theory of our IgOv-
ernment and Institutions the United
States treasury is intended to serve
merely as conduit. conveying the peO-
pies tribute to it's legitimate objects of
expenditures, and
Whereas, The treasury is now pleth-
Oric with money drawn from the chan
nelS of trade thereby causing general
contraction of business, with serious
financial consequences threatened,
Resolved, That the present state of
trade and finance is directly due to our
highly discriminative, inequitable and
unjust tariff laws.
Resolved, That any and all means
adopted to relieve the treasury Of the
surplus without removing the cause
thereof, can afford but temporary relief,
and,
Resolved, That the president in his
message to congress has pointed out a
wise, able and patriotic course for that
body to pursue in reducing our revenue.
Resolved, Further, that it will be both
statesmanlike and polite for the Demo
cratic party through its representatives
in congress to present solid phalanX
in support of the presidents recon-
mendatiOn on the subject.
Persons with money to invest will do well
TO turn their attention to Duluth and Supe-
rior. NJ. b. Harrison, 602 Duluth National

MERE RUBBISH.
The Talk of an Alleged Envoy of
the President to the Pope All

The Talk of an Alleged Envoy of
the President to the Pope All
Fiction.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 20.-The Sun will
publish tomorrow the following dis
patch from Washington: Secretary
Bayard was shown the dispatch from
London concerning the alleged envoy
of the president to the pope, and his
failure to present himself at the Vat
lean. and which contained the state
ment that he had been buycotted by
members of the American legation at
Rome Oh personal grounds. The secre-
tary said: 1T is all rubbish. The
president sent no envoy to the pope
He could not do so. The only govern
ment in Italy with which this country
has political relations is the government
of King Humbert. The president. sent
his gift as private individual. | did
not even know he had sent it
until | saw the fact stated in the
newspapers. understand it was sent
through Cardinal Gibbons, who selected
the person to whom he entrusted its de-
livery in Rome. The state department
was in no wise concerned in the matter,
nor has any person been authorized to
ACT as Une president representative at
the Vatican" With regard to the al
legged boycotting, Mr.. Bayard said:
1.-The American legation consists of one
person. Charles Daugherty, who is now
in this country Oh leave and cOnSe-
quently could not possibly have boy
cotted anybody. The ridiculous false
stories about the presidents so-ealied
envoy are probably part of the same
game to diScredit the administration and
put it in false position, and it quite
likely proceeded from the same source. -

Blaine and Minnesota.

Chicago Herald.
Politics makes strange bed fellows.
especially in the Republican dOrmitory
of Minnesota. The party is bubbling
with enthusiasm, and has just held a
select love feast at st. Paul. There it
was manifest that Blaine was the man,
and that he would be nominated on
platform of revenue reform and tariff
reduction. The delegates admitted that
it was an odd combination, but never
thelesS Blaine and lower taxes was their
idea. They wanted cheaper blankets
and they wanted Blaine. They looked
for cheaper coal, and they heard its
promise in the Decree of Paris. The
tax of so per cent on everything that
man uses they felt to be onerous and
un-American; when Blaine came home
it should be taken off. SO Quacked these
geese at st. Paul. They do not expect
to see Satan baptiZing babies. John Sher-
man founding hospitals, nor an orange
grove where the ice palace now stands;
they do not hope to escape death and
taxation; and yet they expect to run
jim Blaine and tariff for revenue only.
Such is the offer they make to him. He
will accept it. He never refused any
thing-wOrse luck. But will the people
at large tolerate that sort of political
horSe-play for another olympiad?

MONTANA CATTLE.

In view of the tremendous loss of cat
tie in Montana last winter and the pros
pective losses this winter, the question
naturally arises. ought not congress to
take some steps to protect the cattle in
dustry in that territory? How can it be
done is the next question. There seems
to be but one way, and that is by law
compelling the cattle owners to provide
shelter and proyender for their stock
during the winter season. 1t looks to be
all ineXcusable cruelty to permit thou
sands of cattle to be turned loose OH the
plains every fall without any provision
being made to protect them from the
storms. When the winters are open the
profits in the cattle business in Montana
are enormous. Thus mans cupidity
temptS him to expose the poor dumb
brutes to the risks of being frozen and
starved to death by the thousands. Such
conditions are not in accord with modern
civilization, and there ought to be law
against it.

THE COMMON SCHOOLS.

Recent views expressed by Bishop
IRELAND regarding the relation of high
schools TO the common school fund are
i'll accord with remarks made in the
same direction at various times 10y the
GLOBE. The position held by Bishop
IRELAND is not only one which is main
tanned by many ardent friends of the
free school system, but it will also have
tendency to diSSipate the popular i'm
preston that all the dignitaries of the
church TO which he belongs are natur
ally implacabe enemies of the common
school system.
In brief. the bishop, who never speaks
in public without giving evidence of
the possession of an enviable amount of
common sense, maintains that while
public schools are a necessity in a
country where every voter is part of the
government, and that without govern
ment aid many must remain in
ignorance dangerous to the state, still
he thinks the instruction to be given
should be only that which is needed for
the purpose of intelligent citizenship,
and that for this the common schools
are amply sufficient. He is of the Opin-
ion that taxation TO support a high
school system, in whose benefits COM
paratively few of the people can partici-
pate. is decidedly wrong.
1t must certainly be admitted that the
common school, which, giving instruc-
ton in the rudimentary branches, ap-
peals directly to the intellectual needs
Of lNoF ic l,n al, of
desideratum. 1t is the peoples right,
and should be furnished them in the
most complete manner possible. If the
high school can only be maintained at
the expense Of the common school, then
the former should not be allowed to
exist. And if. too, the greater diSSem-
ination of common schools among those
who now lack proper educational facili-
ties were possible by the abolition of
the high schools. these latter should he
abolished at once.
1t is only when the common school
has reached its highest possible degree
of development that the establishment
of the high school is juStiiable. 1t has
ground for existence then, because, if
it can be done without detriment to
their more material interests, the people
have a right to expect the state to fur
nish them with the most thorough men
tai training possible. But, as the
GLOBE recently asserted the inculca-
ton of more purely ornamental
branches of learning at the expense of
the practical is simply waste of the
peoples money. Thus far the most
earnest friend of the public school
system will have no difficulty in follow
ing BiShop IRELAND.

No Demand Made.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The state
ment cabled from Madrid that the
United States government has de-
manded of Spain heavy damages on ac-
co unit of the alleged ill-treatment of DR..
Nadal by the authorities of Porto Rico,
is not strictly correct. The department
of state has taken the diplomatic course
usually adopted in such cases and has
instructed our minister to Spain to lay
DIR. Nadal's claim before the gov
eminent with a representation that
if the allegations contained there
in are found to be true he
is entitled to compensation. DR.. NadaI
is a naturalized citizen of the United
States, who formerly lived in Porto
Rico. He alleges that he was arrested
OH an unfounded suspicion of belonging
to society of autOnomists, or home
rulers, and that in order to extract IN
formation from him. if possible, the
governor of Porto Rico caused his arms
to be pinioned behind him in an ex-
tremely painful position for twenty-four
hours. As result of this cruel treat
ment. DR.. Nadal says one of his arms is
now paralyZed.

A NEEDED REFORM.

With a good deal of justice, Kentucky
has gained very unenviable reputa-
ton as a state whose people have a
habit of numbering each other and in
offensive byStanderS on very slight
provOcation. The deadly revolver
seems to be as much a part of every
male inhabitants aceouterment as his
shirt, and. despite the growing interest
in pugilism, has hitherto been the first
and last resort in every heated argu-
ment and personal difficulty.
In consequence, as the market for
firearms in Kentucky increased the pop
ulation has decreased. until now the
evil has reached point where the leg
iSlature of the state deems it its duty to
take notice of it. A bill has been i'll
troduced, accordingly, providing for a
heavy fine for carrying concealed
weapons and further penal
ty of prescribed amount of
work upon the public roads upon con-
viction. Whether the passage of the
law will result in the true Kentuckian
diScarding his hip-poeket weapon and
carrying in its stead Winchester upon
his shoulder, remains to be seen. But,
in so far as it will cause the revolver as
an arbiter of disputes to disappear, it
will be a distinct gain, and life insur-
ance companies will once more dare to
do business within the state.
Seriously, the pistol-carrying habit has
been responsible for nine-tenthS of the
fatal encounters with which Kentucky
has diSgraced her fair name. The pro
posed bill bids fair, if vigorously put
into operation, to do much toward
abolishing the evil. Kentucky is to be
congratulated upon the prospect. 1t is
time that the cOunSelS of the great and
good WATTERsON were bearing fruit.

MIR. RANDALEs POSITION.

The statement made in certain quar-
tiers that the president had undertaken
to discipline Mr.. RANDALL is the
merest bosh. The president has nothing
of the sort in contemplation, for Mr.
CLEVELAND is too sensible man to be
led astray by the idea that il is the duty
of the head of the administration to
hold the whip of correction over all his
followers. Mr.. RANDALL failed to have
his way with the Pennsylvania Demo-
cratic committee the other day simply
because he undertook to foist himself
into prominence in order that his pc
culiaT tariff views might be recognized
as part of the Democratic faith. Mr..
RANDALL made a mistake in this in
stance, but the committee made
no mistake in refusing to allow
Mr.. RANDALL to dictate to them. The
Democratic tariff policy is defined in
the presidents late message. The
Pennsylvania Democrats simply wished
to place themselves OH record before
the country as being in accord with the
national party in advocacy of tariff re-
form. If Mr.. RANDALL's personal in
terests or individual convictions do not
permit him to aid his party in bringing
about the reforms in the tariff Indicated
in the presidents message, then it is
Aplainly his duty to stand aside and let
the battle wage without his interference.
In 1872 Mr.. BAYARD opposed the nom-
inatiOn of HORACE GREELEY for the
presidency. He made every effort to
defeat the nomination, but when
he found the voice of his party
had pronounced in favor of
Mr.. GREELEY he quietly packed his
trunk and went over to Europe, where
he remained until the election was over.
1t occurs to us that this would be an ex-
ceedfngly appropriate time for Mr..
RANDALL to take a vacation. There are
a great many interesting objects in
Europe to engage his attention until
after the next presidential election. LII
everything else except his tariff opin-
ions Mr.. RANDALL is Democrat.
His loyalty to his party and his devotion
to its principles have been illustrated
too frequentlysand too sublimely to per-
NIT suspicion that he is going over to
the enemy at this crisis. If the line of bat.
tie is formed this year OH ground which
he cannot occupy, the best he can do is
to ask for furlough and retire until
the fight is over. There is no occasion
to bring him under discipline. SAN
RANDALL is too old and too good a sol
der in the cause of Democracy to be
