DOES NELSON WEAKEN.

Is kNUTE NELSON weakening on the
tariff question? His proposition in the
Republican caucus to report bill in
opposition TO the MILLS bill indicates
that Mr.. NELSON might be preparing to
hedge. He supported the MORRISON
bill without any ifs Or ands about it,
and we fail to see any reason why he
should now hesitate to support the
MILLS bill, which he, and every one
else, knows to be more practical tariff
reform measure, and more satisfae-
tory in all respects, than any tax
reduction bill that has yet been
presented to congress. We hope
that. after all the valiant service Mr..
NELSON has rendered in the cause of tar
if reform, he will not now prove diSloyal
just as victory is about to be achieved.
We prefer to believe that Mr.. NELSON'S
action in the Republican caucus was in
spired by a desire to bring his Repub-
lican brethren into line with himself on
the tariff question rather than to betray
the cause in which he has made such
gallant struggle. And yet, he must
have known that the Republicans have
no idea Of committing themselves to
tariff reform, or to do anything that will
jeopardize the protected monopolists.
The existing high tariff laws are just
what the Republicans want, and they
will fight the MILLS bill, or any other
bill that proposes to make any altera-
ton in our tariff laws. to the bitter
death. Mr.. NELSON knows this, and it
is very singular that, in the light of his
past record, he should be triling with
this matter. Ifh doesn'tintend to sup
port the MILLS bill, what sort of bill
will he support?

THE BREWERS.

Delegates from the national brewers.
association will assemble in st. Paul TO-
morrow in annual convention. They
should receive a reception which will
leave no doubt in their minds as to their
wisdom in choosing meeting place.
They have paid st. Paul a marked com
pliment in deciding to meet in this city.
and they should see that the compli-
ment is appreciated. A comprehensive
programme has been mapped out for
the entertainment of the delegates. and
it is to be hoped that all concerned will
unite in carrying it out. The brewers
are men of wealth and intelligence.
Their industry is an enormous one. and
in the development of it the men with
brains aud energy naturally come to
the front. These are the men who
will meet in convention in st. Paul.
They have held their annual meetings
in many cities, but we will warrant that
none of them presented more substan-
tial indications of prosperity and prog
ress than st. Paul does to-day. With
this fact the delegates. being Intelligent
men, cannot help being impressed.
They cannot fail to see, too, that, great
as the achievements have been, the prom

CROPS ALL RIGHT.

IN spite of the long-continued wet
weather, it seems that there is no occa-
sion to fear a shortage in Northwestern
crops. In this respect the Northwest is
more fortunately situated than the
country to the south and southwest,
where material damage is reported.
Though the season in the Northwest is
undeniably late. the farmers announce
their belief that the wet weather has
been rather beneficial than otherwise.
Particularly is this the case in the
Red river valley. Upon the whole it is
asserted that the indications point to
larger wheat crop than ever before.
Though it would be uncharitable to
make capital out of the miSfortuneS of
ones neighbors, nevertheless it is a
significant fact that the wet weather,
which has wrought such havoc else
where, should not have affected the
Northwest in the least.
1t is simply further proof that the
Northwest does not go iOt beyond the
truth in claiming to be the granary of
the world

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Chairmat
Holman was this morning instructed bf
the house committee on public

ton of any such railroads. not
constructed and completed within the
time specified in the granting acts, and
provides for the restoration of the for

The substitute, it is believed, will
work the forfeiture of several
times as much land as was covered by
the senate bill, which simply declared
forfeiture of the lands opposite the un-
completed portions of the roads, without
regard to the time of completion.

Plumed Knight and Overhaul
His COrresnondence.

InfeVcS BSanSack the House OF the
Plumed Knight and Overhaul
His Correspondence.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-An Augusta,
Me-, special to an evening paper says:
During a conversation with one of Mr..
Blaine's personal friends last Saturday,
he said: did you know that Mr..
Blaine'S house was broken into some
time ago, while he and his family were
absent, and all his political and business
correspondence and private papers, in
vOlylng financial operations, which were
in his library, were oVerhauled and a
portion of them distracted? Well, such
is the fact. The matter has always been
kept a secret i'll the hope that the thief
might be discovered; but he never has
been, at least never heard he was. l
don't think that anybody in particular
was ever suspected of being the thief.
The SuppOSition is that the robbery was
perpetrated in the expectation of obtain
ing something among Mr.. Blaine's pri-
vate papers which might be used to his
political injury, if ever wanted. l never
learned the character of the papers
stolen. When the robbery was discOv-
cred the floor of the library was found
to be Uttered with letters and papers,
which had evidently been carefully ex-
amined. Every drawer was found to
have been ransacked and its contents
either disturbed or dumped on the
floor"

pOrteS have Investigated the published
atory of the robbery of Blaine's house,

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-AbOut 100
Democratic members of the house met
in caucus at the capitol tonight at s

in the Mills tariff bill until near mid

were proposed, ,all of which led to spir-

deliberation it was agreed to take works

sections were not touched by the caucus
tonight and remain in the bill as they
came from the committee. After the
caucus had been at work for an hour or
two, a proposition was advanced by a
member of the ways and means COM
mittee to abandon all proposed amend
ments to the Mills bill and bring the
measure as it originally came from the
committee before the house for its ac
ton, but this proposition met with such
a storm of opposition that it was at once
withdrawn. The duty on pottery and

THE KISS.
1 loved a little shepherd lass, comely
maiden, dearly,
And oh, loved her long;
birdie |, not yet in song
ten-years laddie merely.
One day upon the Towering grass as we were
both reclining,
MARY, one word I have to say,
Mary said, Il love thee, aye,
For thee alone I'm pining.''
She clasped me round, and on my lips a
tender kiss whilst laying,
She said: ''Forsooth, a lovers signs,
And all the woe in love that lies,
Thou ri small to be essaying.'
] older grow and seek for her; her hearts an
others, ever
Forsaking me: but sill bereft,
meier forget the kiss she left
Upon my mouth. Oh, neyerl

ANDREW CARNEGIE is a millionaire
iron manufacturer who has amassed an
immense fortune from the profits af-
forded his business by a protective
tariff. Mr. CARNEGIE sailed from New
York last week for summer vacation
in Europe. but before departing had a
long talk with a New York paper. in
Which he not only outlined his summer
tour, but also undertook to read his
countrymen a severe lecture because of
their manifest disposition to lower the
tariff. These two notable points in Mr..
CARNEGIE's interview merit considera-
ton.
AS to his personal movements. he has
arranged for tour through England
and Scotland, to be accompanied by a
party consisting of his own family and
MI. and Mrs. JAMES G. BLAINE. The
party will travel in private convey
ances and by easy stages, arrangements
having been made for series of recep-
tions to the visitors by various repre-
sentatives of British nobility living on

says concerning the conditions of labor
in this country.

If one thing is more evident than
another in the Republican platform of
Minnesota, it is that the party is for a
high protective tariff. The Red Wing
Republican says it was ''dOuble-shOtted
with protection;" the Pioneer Press
says the tariff plank is a success only so
far as it attempts to say nothing on the
subject. On the other hand, the Demo-
cratic platform demands as right that
the tariff shall be revised, and specifies
uncertain, meaningless. The other is
