WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS.
Fisheries Troubles Should Be Set
tied by DiplOmacY.

Our relations with foreign powers
should be characterized by friendliness
and respect. The right of our people
and of our ships to hospitable treat
ment should be insisted upon with
dignity and firmness. Our nation is too
great, both in material strength and in
moral power, to indulge in bluster or to
be suspected of timOrOusnesS. Vacilla-
ton and inconsistency are as in
compatible with successful diplomacy
as they are with the national dignity.
We should especially cultivate and eX-
tend our diplomatic and commercial
relations with the Central and South
American states. Our fisheries should
be fostered and protected. The hard
ships and risks that are the necessary
incidents of the business should not be
increased by an inhospitable exclusion
from the near lying ports. The re-
sources of firm, dignified and con-
sistent diplomacy are undoubtedly
equal to the prompt and peaceful soiu-
ton of the difficulties that now exist.
Our neighborS will surely not expect in
our ports a hospitality they deny to us
in theirs.

TAFFY FOR TERRITORIES.

The Appeals of All Except Utah
for Admission Strike Respon-
sive Chord in the Harrisonian
Heart.
The territorial form of government is
a temporary expedient, not a permanent
civil condition. 1t is adapted to the eX-
igency that suggested it, but becomes
inadequate, and even oppressive, when
applied to fixed and pOpulous COM
munities. Several territories are well
able to bear the burdens and discharge
the duties of free commonwealth in the
American Union. To exclude them is
to deny the just rights of their people,
and may well excite their indignant
protest. No question of the political
preference of the people of territory
Should close against them the hOspita-
BILE door which has opened to two-thirds
of the existing states. But admission
should be resOlutely refused to any ter
ritory, majority of whose people cher
lsh resolutions that are repugnant to
our civilization or inconsistent with a
Republican form of government.

not equal the crude and unadorned
beauty of the animals on exhibition in
the booths, or the horses which bid for
popular favor upon the track.
The stock pens in particular are we'll
worthy of inspection, and it is impossi-
BILE to obtain an adequate idea of the
true merits of husbandry in any other
way than by feasting the vision upon
the display of livestock, it being un-
ouestionably the best exhibit ever seen
in the Northwest.
OF the many and various exhibits on
the grounds none so much show the cul-
tured taste and progressive tendencies
of the age as the exhibit in the art gal
lery which greets the eye as a cynosure
of panoramic beauty. This department
is in charge of Vincent DE Gervion, the
well-known st. Paul artist. DR.. Reul-
ing, a wealthy resident of Baltimore,
and the owner of one of the finest pri-
vate galleries in this country, has on
exhibition a galaxy of twelve paintings
valued at S22, 900. OF these ''The Au-
dience Hall of Cardinal Richelieu," one
of a group of twelve paintings, attracts
much attention. The oldest, if not the
most beautiful of the sgroup,
represents Solomon giving thanks
for the stay of the plague. The picture
is a valuable one and was for long
time in the possession of royalty. 1t was
brought 10 this country by Sir Henry
Morton, English minister to the United
States. The early use of pictures of
this kind was to serve as tapestry in
covering walls.
Probably the most valuable painting
in the collection is 1.-The Bermese
Shepherdess," by Edward Dubufe. 1t
represents a girl fondl inga sheep, the
head of the latter being painted by
Rosa Bonheur. 'The Miser," by Linden
Schmidt is as suggestive as it is beauti-
full. 1t represents hermit counting
his gold and being scared by cat,
which he imagines is arobber. The ex-
preston of the miser's face suggests
veritable Gaspard. Among other ar
tistic specimens in this collection are
"Vaccination in Bavaria" by Horne
mann, of Munich; Tourists in Switz-
erland," by Meyer, of Munich; "Castle
Cilla," by Jackson, of Bavaria. And the
art gallery is one of the features of the
fair, and as such was the recipient of
deserved attention during the after
noon.

In Appointments TO IL F1tness, ana

The law regulating appointments to
the classified civil service received my
support in the senate in the belief that
it opened the way to much needed re-
form. 1 still think so, and, therefore,
cordially approve the clear and forcible
expression of the convention upon this
subject. The law should have the aid
of friendly Interpretation and be faith
fully and vigorously enforced. All ap-
pointments under it should be absolutely
freefrom partisan considerations and in
huence. Some extensions of the classi-
fed list are practicable and desirable,
and further Legislation extending the
reform to other branches of the service,
to which it is applicable, would receive
nay approval. In appointments to every
grade and department, fitness, and not
party service, should be the essential
and discriminating test and fidelity and

sincere purpose, il elected, to advance

TROTTERs AND RUNNERS
Who Contested For Liberal
Purses.

The races of the afternoon were OF
course the feature of the day, and lov-
ers of the sport who have the hardi-
hood to shiver and face the preliminary
blasts of autumn were amply repaid
for their temerity. The track was in
good condition and the time would
have undoubtedly been lower had it
not been for the fact that the heavy
wind blew directly in the faces OF the
horses on the back stretch and ma
terially retarded the progress OF the
flyers.
In both the three-minute trot and the
pace the winner of the first heat sue
ceeded in securing first money in the
two succeeding heats, and though both
Jim Fuller and Neil M, the respective
winners, were favorites and secured the
pole, the final result was ever in doubt,
and the efforts of the horses were
heartily appreciated.
There were five entries for the three
minute trot, the first of the afternoon,
Mac and Col. Brisbois being drawn.
The entries and positions were as fol-
lows: Jim Fuller, owned by Wilson d
Stunby, of Detroit; HUNT Barnes Gypsy
A; Star S, owned by George w. Speer,
of Minneapolis; Dell Barker'S Diamond
and o. A. Rogers Fugleman. The
wiseacres predicted that Fuller would
secure first money of the $1,000 purse.
Their predictions were verified, as
he easily secured the first three
heats. In the first heat Fugleman
had bad start, but the others got away
well punched until the turn was
reached, when Fuller forged ahead,
with Gypsy A good second. On reach
ing the quarter Diamond and Star )
broke badly, but the former speedily re-
covered, and supplanted Gypsy A i'll her
efforts to overtake the leader. On the
back stretch Fugleman made magnifi-
cent squirt and pulled up from last place
to second, and on the home stretch was
almost even with Fuller, who won by a
length, the horses passing under the
wire in the following order: Tim
Fuller, Fugleman, Diamond, Gypsy A,
Star S. Time, 2:27H,
Fugleman again obtained bad start
in the second heat and seemed hope
lessly in the rear at the quarter, Tim
Fuller, Gypsy A and Diamond being
closely punched. The horses preserved
their relative positions until the back
stretch was reached, when Fugleman
again made phenomenal squirt and at
the half was well up with the leaders:
On the home stretch it was neck and

FORSAKES HIS FRIENDS.
In the Face of His Record, Gen
Harrison Gives the Chinese the
Cold Shoulder.


Cold Shoulder.
Closely connected with the subject of
the tariff is that of the importation of
foreign laborers under contracts of
service to be performed here. The law
now in force prohibiting such contracts
received my cordial support in the SEN
ate. and such amendments as may be
found necessary effectively to deliver
our workingmen and women from this
most inequitable form of competi-
ton will have my sincere advO-
cacy. Legislation prohibiting the
importation of labOrerS under con-
tracts to serve here will, however,
afford very inadequate relief to our
working people, if the system of pro-
tective duties is broken down. If the
products of American shops must COM
pete in the American market, without
favOring duties, with the products of
cheap foreign labor, the effect will be
different, if at all, only in degree,
whether the cheap labOrer is across the
street or over the sea. Such cOmpeti-
ton will soon reduce wages here to the
level of those abroad, and when that
condition is reached we will not need
any laws forbidding the importation of
LABoRERS UNDER CONTRACT;
they will have no inducement to come,
and the employer no inducement to
send for them. In the earlier years of
our history public agencies % promote
immigration were common. The piO-
neer wanted a neighbor with more
friendly instincts than the Indian.
Labor was scarce and fully employed.
But the day of the immigration bureau
has gone by. While our doors will con-
tinue to open to proper immigration,
we do not need to issue special invita-
tions to the inhabitants of other coun-
| tries to come to our shores or to share
our citizenship. Indeed, the necessity
of some inspection and limitation is
obvious. We should resolutely refuse
to permit foreign governments to send
their paupers and criminals to our ports.
We are also clearly under duty TO de-
fend our civilization by excluding
alien races whose ultimate assimilation
with our people is neither possible nor
desirable. The family has been the
nucleus of our best immigration, and
the home the most potent aSsimilating
force i'll our civilization. The Objec-
tionS to Chinese immigration are dis
tinctive and conclusive, and are now. so
| generally accepted as such that the
| question has passed entirely beyond the
stage of argument. The laws relating
to this subject would. if should be
charged with their enforcement, be
| faithfully executed. Such amendments

were we'll punched, with st. Andrew

tive positions were maintained
until the three-quarter pole was reached
when Governor Boery drew up slowly
alongside of Deboe, and it was neck

the former forged half length ahead
and maintained that position to the end,

Observations Resulting From
a Ramble Over the Entire
Grounds.

The 5000 people who were in attend

ant and sufficient testimony as to its gen.
uine artistic merit and success. In every
department of the vast enterprise COM
pletion in all details is observable;

collars about their ears toward the con-
clusion of the days festivities, and

was veritable combat between art and

routed. For the gay crowds,

iasm of the ladies. even when

collected for customs duties represents
many millions more which do not reach
the treasury, but are paid by our citizens
as the increased cost of domestic pro-
ductions resulting from the tariff laws
may not intend to discredit in the
minds of others our system of levying
duties on competing foreign products,
but it is clearly already discredited in
their own. We cannot doubt, without
impugning their integrity, that, if free to
ACT UPON THEIR CONVICTIONS,
they would so revise our laws as to lay
the burden of the customs revenue upon
articles that are not produced in this
country, and to place upon the free list
all competing foreign products. do
not stop to refute this theory as to the
effect of our tariff duties. Those who
advance it are students of maXims and
not OF the markets. They may be safely
be allowed TO call their project tar
iff REFORM" if the people understand
that in the end the argument compels
free trade in all competing products.
This end may not be reached abruptly,
and its approach may be accompanied
with some expressions of sympathy for
our protected industries and our work
ing people, but it will certainly come, II
these early steps do not arouse the peO-
pie to effective resistance. The Repub-
lican party holds that protective tariff
is constitutional, wholesome and neceS-
sary. We do not offer fixed schedule,
but principle. We will revise the
schedule, modify rates, but always with
an intelligent provision as to the effect
upon domestic production and the
wages of our working people. We be-
lieYe it to be one OF the worthy objects
of tariff legislation to preserve the
American
MARKET FOR AMERICAN PRODUCERS.
and to maintain the American scale Of
wages, by adequate discriminating
duties upon foreign competing pro
ducts. The effect of lower rates and
larger impOrtatiOnS upon the public
revenue is contingent and doubtful,
but not so the effect upon American
production and American wages. Less
work and lower wages must be accepted
as the inevitable result of the increaSd
offering of foreign goods in our market.
By way of Iecompense for this reduc-
tiOn in his wages, and the loss Of the
American market, it is suggested that
the diminished wages of the working
man will have an undiminiShed pur-
chasing power, and that he Will be
able to make up for the loss of the
home market by an enlarged foreign
market. Our wOrkingmen have the
settlement of the question in their own
hands. They now obtain hig her wages
and live more comfortably than those
of any other country. They will make
choice between the substantial advan-
tageS they have in hand and the decep-
tive promises and forecasts of these
theorizing reformers. They will decide
for themselves and for the country
whether the protective system shall be
continued or DESTROYED.

TACKLES THE TARIFF.

An Attempt to Hide the Inequi-
ties of Protection by a Vigorous
DenunciatiOn of Tariff Reform,
Yclept ''Free Trade"
1t is matter of cOngratulatiOn that
the declarations of the Chicago cOnven-
tiOn upon the questions that now at
tract the interest of the people are so
clear and emphatic. There is further
cause of cOngratulatiOn in the fact that
the convention utterances of the Demo
cratic party, if in any degree uncertain
or contradictory, can now be judged
and interpreted by executive acts and
messages, and by definite propositions
in legislation. This is especially true
of what is popularity known as the tariff
question. The issue cannot now be OBJ
Scured. 1t is not a contest between
schedules, but between wide
apart principles. The foreign COM
petitors for our market have,
with quick instinct, seen how one of
issue of this contest may bring them
apvantage, and our own people are not
so dull as to miss or neglect the grave
interests that are involved for them.
The assault upon our protective system
is open and defiant. Protection is as
sailed as unconstitutional in law or as
VICIOUS IN PRINCIPLE,
and those who hold such views sin
cerely cannot stop short of an absolute
elimination from our tariff laws of the
principle of protection. The Mills bill
is only step, but it is toward an object
that the leaders of Democratic thought
and legislation have clearly in mind.
The important question is not so much
the length of the step as the
direction of it. Judged by the
executive message of December last,
by the Mills bill, by the debates in con-
gress and by the st. Louis platform, the
Democratic party will, if supported by
the country, place the tariff laws upon
a purely revenue basis. This is prac-
tical free trade-free trade in the Eng
lish sense. The legend upon the ban
ner may not be" Free Trade ~ it may
be the more obscure motto, Tariff Re
form;" but neither the banner nor the
Inscription is conclusive, nor, indeed,
very important. The assault itself is
the important fact. Those who teach
that the import duty upon foreign goods
sold in our market is paid by the con-
sumer, and that the price of the dOmes-
tic competing article is enhanced to the
amount of the duty on the imported
article-that every million of dollars

1t can hardly be necessary for me to
say that l am heartily in sympathy with
the declaration of the convention upon
the subject of pensions to our soldiers
and sailors. What they give and what
they suffered had some opportunity to
observe, and, in a small measure, to ex-
perience. They gave ungrudgingly; it
was not a trade, but an offering. The
measure was heaped up, running over.
What they achieved. only distant gen.
Grafton can adequately tell. Without
attempting to discuss particular prOpo-
sitions, l may add that measures in be-
half of the surviving veterans of the
war and of the families of their dead
comrades, should be conceived and exc
cuted in a spirit of justice and of the
most grateful liberality, and that, in the
competition for civil appointments,
honorable military service should have
appropriate recognition.

TALLY ONE FOR GROVER.

The Presidents Scheme of RedEc-
ing the Surplus by the Purchase
ofBonds Approved by Benjamin.
The fact of a treasury surplus, the
amount of which is variOusly stated, has
directed public attention 10 a cOnsidera-
ton of the methods by which the ma
tional income may best be reduced TO the
level of wise and necessary eXpendi-
ture. This condition has been seized
upon by those who are hostile to pro-
tectiYe custom duties as an advantageous
base of attack upon our tariff laws.
They have magnihed and nursed the
surplus, which they affect to deprecate,
seemingly for the purpose of eXaggerat-
ing the evil in order to reconcile the peO-
pie to the extreme remedy they propose.
A proper reduction of the revenue does
not necessitate and should not suggest
the abandonment or impairment of the
protective system. The methods Sug-
gested by our convention will not need
to be exhausted in order to effect the
necessary reduction. We are not likely
to be called upon, think, to
MAKE A PRESENT CHOICE
between the surrender of the protect
i've system and the entire repeal of the
internal taxes. Such contingency, III
view of the present location of revenue
expenditures, is remote. The inspec-
ton and regulation of the manufacture
or sale of Oleomargarine is impor-
tant, and the revenue derived from it is
not so great that the repeal of the law
need enter into any plan of revenue re-
ductiOn. The surplus now in the treas
ury should be used in the purchase of
bonds. The law authorizes this use of
it, and if it is not needed for current or
deficiency appropriations the people,
and not the banks in which it has been
deposited, should have the advantage
of its use by stopping interest upon the
public debt. At least those who need
fessly hoard it should not be allowed to
use the fear of a monetary Stringency
thus produced to cOerce public Senti-
ment upOn other questions.
