THE COAL TARIFF.

The Importance with which the fuel
question bears down upon this daily
life, particularly in the winter time, has
been brought home to the people of the
Northwest during the past few weeks
in a terribly practical manner. The
high cost of coal has forced many set
tiers at remote points to rely entirely
upon some other fuel, and others to de-
pend upon an inadequate supply.
With coal at more reasonable rate
hundreds who have of late been suffer-
ing from the intense cold would have
been enabled TO protect themselves
fairly well against the rigorS of winter.
And cheaper coal is not far distant. Our
Canadian neighhOIS have it in abun-
dance. But it might as well be in China
for all the good it can do the consumer
OH this side of the line.
And why? Because beneficent con-
greSs continues to maintain the high
tariff which prevents the Canadian pro
ducers from putting their cheaper coal
upon the American market and thus
cutting down the profits of the American
barOnS. Of course the people suffer.
but that is of very little consequence to
the barons so long as their substantial
profits continue. But will the people
stand it any longer? There is every in
dication that they will not.
As much as the air they breathe, fuel
is one of the necessaries of life to the
people, especially to those of the West
and it is becoming proposition worn
threadbare that all neceSsaries should
be as free as air, so far as the imposition
of government duties is concerned. II
American producers will not sell them
coal at reasonable rates, the people ot
the West will get it elsewhere or know
the reason why.

VIII Stand by the Union.

MILWAUKEE Wis, Jan. 25.-Brewers'
Union No. 9, whose membership in
cludes all the brewers employed in this
city. held largely. attended meeting
tonight and decided unanimously 10
stand by the union. AS the employing
brewers gave them notice yester-
day that they must either leave
their employ or desert the union: the
result will undoubtedly he a general
lockout tomorrow. Both sides are
very decided in their determination to
adhere to their convictions, and it is
thought that the men be re-
fused work tomorrow. The
employing brewers assert that
they will find 10 difficulty in filling the
places of their employees, and do not ex-
pect to be inconvenienced in any respect
by letting all their employees go. The
outlook is that, with some solitary ex-
ceptionS, there will be no one at work
in the breweries tomorrow.

If the Carnival opening yesterday is
indicative of what the Carnival is to be,
then those who predicted this would be
the greatest Carnival of all were right
about it. The opening day was sur
prise to everybody. The immense
amount of local enthusiasm, the Splen-
did turnout of clubs, the great number
of strangers who were in the city, the
vast thrOngS of people who braved the
biting north wind and lined the streets
the entire length of the procession, the
magnificent parade and the still more
magnificent outfit of the Ice King-all
these things were a surprise to even
those who had most Sanguine eXpecta-
tons of a successful Carnival. All
these 20 to show TO what extent ST.
Paul'S fame as a Carnival city has
reached, and what reliance the people
OF earth place in the promises we make.
The great influx of strangers to the
city SO early in the Carnival season is
one of the evidences that the Carnival
Is TO be Il grand success. 1t is not usual
that the opening day of a prOtracted
fete attracts strangers. Our Carnival is
an exception TO the rule. for already the
capacity of the hotels is being heavily
taxed. and the committee appointed to
provide accommodations for strangers
are finding plenty of work to do. 1t is
safe to predict that by tomorrow even
ing, the first storming night, there will
be such crowd in st. Paul as has never
been known.
Now that the visitors are here, and
are still coming in large numbers, the
success of the Carnival is still further
assured because the attractions that
have been arranged will surpass those
of all former CarnivalS. People have
gone away in former years we'll pleased.
They will go away this year better
pleased than ever.

price of the skins has steadily risen,
until now their general possession is an
impOSsibility, not only because the
price is beyond the means of the aver
age settler, but because the supply Of
skins in the hands of the dealers has
been almost entirely exhausted. A lit
tie foresight would have provided a
never-failing supply of cheap fur to the
entire West. As it is, with no fur to
take the place of the buffalo, the people
of the far West and the Northwest must
be content with cloth overgarmentS,
which in many cases are, III compari-
son with fur, entirely inadequate.

fore the chamber of commerce to-day

fenseS and coaling stations, his remarks

stand why the commercial community

pare, but now the warning might come
one day and action the next. The
country was not prepared, and there
fore positively endangered, its defense

ELKINs ON THE TARIFF.

Some of our Republican newspapers
have been telling their readers that the
Republican party, by its last plat
form, was committed to Il reduction OF
the tariff. 1t must be something of a
surprise to these newspapers when Mr..
ELKINS steps forward and tells them
that the Republican platform does moth
ing of the sort. Mr.. ELKINs, it will be
remembered, was the boss of the last
national Republican convention, and
ought to know what he is talking about
He worked the wires that nominated
Mr.. BLAINE, and, as is popularity sup
posed, with his own hand drafted the
platform upon which Mr.. BLAINE was
nominated. Mr.. ELKINS says that the
platform pledges the Republican party
to correct the inequalities of the tariff
and to reduce the surplus, but doesn't t
say word about tariff reduction. Refer
ring to the platform, we find that Mr..
ELKINS has caught the language cor
rectly. In his own way, then. he pro-
ceedS to point out how the Republican
party intends to redeem its pledges
The tax is to be taken off of whisky
and tobacco. That will reduce the sur
plus by good many millions. And
then, when it comes to correcting the
inequalities of the tariff, Mr.. ELKINs
suggests that it can be done by reduc-
ing the tax on tin plate 215 per cent.
That is all. The tariff Oh everything
else is to be kept up to the war limit.
Mr.. ELKINs is recognized spokesman
for Mr.. BLAINE, and is, consequently.
standard authority Oh the Republican
tariff policy. Hereafter, when Mime
sofa Republicans attempt to delude you
into the belief that their party is low
tariff party, just refer them to Mr..

Of their crimson stain:
And your purpliug vein
] have clogged with my icy breath.
But drank the flood
OF life's poisoned blood,
Rank with the stain
OF your mortal pain;
And it seems queer
That you should fear
My boundless power,
IN that final hour;
For, at its end, proved friend"
Says He:
Il extracted all
That was vile at your pail;
And i sent your soul
To its final goal
In the realms of eternity.
For fragment of time,
For frost and rime,

TO your heart, and balm

When / silenced regret;
Your body gave sod,
And your spirit, God.
Now in the test, who loved you bests"
