THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

The national prohibition vote may az
tonish the ccuatry when the returns are
in, by an exhibition Ct remarkable
strength; OF, on the other hand, there is a
possibility that combination Of cicum-
starces may reduce this vets below its
strength Of 1884 when Gov. ST. JOHN re-
ceivei %, coo in New York, and p. 600 in
Michigan, tie former Of which caused the
dsfelt of Mr.. BLAINE.
The part the third party will play in the
election is now an unknown quantity, but
it will BE- interesting to know t5at Prof
DICKIE, chairman of tha National Pro.
hibtion Committee, sets the prohibition
vote in Michigan at 40 900, and in New
York at $1,000, which Gov. ST. JOHN
raises to 10000. If Prof.
DICKIE's estimate as to
Michigan comes anywhere reaT being
sustained tie Democrats can almo st to 8
certainty count on thAt State, which gave
Mr.. BLAINE less than 4,OO) plurality four
years age, and any approach ID the es
tina 'ei figures in New York would settle
the result in that S!ats also beyond tie
shsdow of doubt. The Prohibition vote
in New York reached $4,000 in 1887.
WARNER MILLER, the Republican csndi-
date for Governor, however, is devotiug
probably the biggest end Of his CAMPAIGN
TO h lding it down.
There is no doubt but that the tendency
is to largely overe>t;mate the strength of
the third party, consequently we may
take the figures with considerable pc;
cent of. Oze thing is certain, and that is
that the prohibition vote i5 an important
factor in this campaign. 1t is likely to
break good many states.

ANOTHER EDITOR.


( Mr.. Gift talks about Democratic editor
There cams to Washington Republican
editor f:On Wheeling, who spent days and
dsy5 in TIE committee room. He was
listened to fully aad freely. It is true
that We bad no public hearings, such as
were had in the last two sessions Of Con.
grtsI. There was no use for it. We had
all the reports of the great Republican
tariff commission, all the elaborate census
reports, all the statistics Of the various
bureaus, and all the yar:e1 resources of
the government to give rs the iuforma-
ticn Necessary. But in addition to his,
every man who came to rs was listened to.
Republicans say the Mills bill is a sec-
tional bill, when, if they will examine II,
thsy wilt fiud thai the heaviest cuts made
by it are in Southern produces. Now, to
90 blck to sugar. In 1888 the Democrats
In Congress agreed upon q rate of 40 on
szss IRON No. - to No. 16. The Repub-
hcars said 10, that was not enough, and
put it to 2. so, and when they met in secret
conference they further put it no to
275. General Golf says the NJ lis
bill is in the interests of the sugar
trust. If he had heard the speeches /
tie Hou of Representative he wOuld
have found this to be untrue, and if he
has read the Senate bill be will find that
1t is in the interest OF tie sugar ,trus'.
I'll tell you about this. We made q hori-
FINAL cut of 20 per cent. on refined and
raw sugsrs-a little more on refined than
on raw, as % pr cent. on q large amount
is larger than 20 per cent. on q small one.
The Senate bill cuts off so per cent, but
il is mostly on refined, and not on raw.
Then the Senate bill puts molasses con-
tainirg 20 psr cent. or les OF
sa chsrine matter is on the free list. Why,
don't they know that sugar i, made HOn
molasses2 He is going to make this . free
mate rial, which the. Mills bill don't do.

But, my friends, was about to explain
to you the diff ,rencs between tariff fol
revenue and q protective tariff. If tie
government were obliged to have all this
money we wo aid pay it without murmur.

LET THE CROW FOLLOW.

The news that the great Sioux reser-
Walton will speedily be opened is natur-
ally very joyful news to the people of
the Northwest in general and to those
of Dakota in particular. But the good
work should not stop there. There is
room for it's extension into Montana.
The Crow reservation in Southern
Montana comprises 1000, 900 acres of the
finest grazing and agricultural land in
the territory. 1t is in the possession of
but 1,30o Indians, and is practically use
less at present. IL a territory where
the cattle ranges are crowded to the ut
most and farming land has long been at
a premium this is an especial hardship.
All the reasons urged in favor of the
opening of the Sioux reservation apply
with redoubled force to the Crow reser-
Walton.
The Indians themselves would be
much better off if the reservation were
reduced, the surplus lands sold and
thrown open to settlement. Not only
would each family receive all the land
it could ever cultivate, but it would also
secure large stun of cash, sufficient to
provide for its needs for years to come.
Beside that there wo,ild be the adyant-
age to the Indians aeeruing from hav-
/ ing white men as Reighbors. They
would soon learn the arts by which the
white men gain a living from the earth,
and would. in initiating them, speedily
become seif-supporting. Such associa-
ton, as civilizing factor, woIlid be
worth ali the government schools and
annuities that have ever been pro-
yided for them.
Incoming settlement demands the

A START MADE.

A start has been made toward break
ing up the vile dens which the listless-
ness of officials and the inadequacy of
the law has enabled to flourish UNI
checked in the northern wilds of Wis
consin and Michigan. Three proeurers
have been arrested in Detroit, and will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the
law-Michigan law, be it observed, for
Gov.RUsK, of Wisconsin, is still blind to
his duty in the premises.
1t is to be hoped that under the Mich
igan law a long term of Imprisonment
can De provided Tor these wretches. In
no other legal way can the dives be
broken up. If few of the scoundrels
are convicted and are sent behind prison
walls for lengthy term of years, the
others will not be long in taking warn
ing. If the law is found inadequate to
deal properly with the rascals, there
does not seem to be any remedy except
that which the people may take into
their own hands.
When crime was prevalent in the
Western states and territories in years
gone by, and when the laws were found
insufficient, the people had very prac-
teal way of meeting the difficulty. The
vigilantes constituted themselves court,
jury and eXecutioners, and we'll did
they do their work. Crime speedily be-
came less and criminals conspicuous by
their absence.
Lynch law is seldom justiiable, but it
does seem as though the outraged citi-
zens of Wisconsin and Michigan will be
compelled to resort to it as relief from
the evils of which they so bitterly COM
plain

really the only one occupying an indie
pendent position. 1t has secured the
services of enough "scab'' engineers to
man its locomotives, but in doing so has
virtually exhausted the supply Of
''scabs" in the country. 1t has the inter
state law and the interstate commission
ers at its back to compel an interchange
of traffic with the other lines. 1t knows
that the moment the other roads attempt
to comply with the law, that very mo
ment the strike becomes general and
the Burlington will have a monopoly OF
railroad traffic in all the territory where
its lines penetrate.
1t is a question, however, how strict
the interstate commissioners or the
courts would construe the law in its
application to the ease in hand. 1t is
query whether OF not an impending
strike which cannot be averted except
by violation Of law, and which il net
averted would be ruinous to the busi-
ness Of a company, would not be re-
garded in the eyes Of the court as be-
longing to that category Of accidents
Familiarity known to the law as ''actS OF
Providence 1t is certainly a grave
question whether railroad company
could be mulcted in damages for doing
that which it would be impossible to
avoid without violating that other pro-
vision of the law which compels COM
mon carrier to do all within its power
to keep its line in operation for the &C
communication of the public,

MoNoPoL1sTs AND WAGES.

One point in this tariff controversy
should be kept in the minds Of the peo-
pie whom the monopolists are trying to
bamboozle with their sophistical reason
ing. A favorite assertion of theirs is
that high tariff makes high wages.
Though the fallacy of the argument
has been demonstrated with wearying
frequency, they are sure to return low
ingly to it. But let the workingman re-
fleet upon this point: if the monopo-
lists really believed that high tariff
made high wages and conversely
that low tariff made low wages, would
they not be the first to advocate the lat
ter? Upon that point there can be no
doubt at all.
1t has been demonstrated, however,
that wages remain practically un-
changed with either a low or high
tariff. The monopolist alone, who, by
the high tariff, is enablad to extort fur
ther tribute from the consumer, is bene-
flied. Experience with his grasping
methods has shown conclusively that if
he could derive still greater profit by
favoring legislation which would en-
able HIM to decrease his employees
wages he wouldn't hesitate moment
to do so.
1t is we'll to take any protestations
of sympathy for the workingmen made
by the monopolistS, with several grains
OF salt.
