A TWo-EDGED RULING.

It is poor law that doesn't work both
ways; consequently the interstate COM
merce act is just as liable to operate to
the disadvantage of the shippers as it is
to the disadvantage of the carriers. Our
Western farmers. who are largely re-
sponsible for the passage of the inter
state law, should not complain if the
late decision rendered by the interstate
commission on the question of transport
tation rates to the seaboard and to for
eign ports should operate to the disad-
vantage of the producers. We have to
take the bad with the good in this world;
and, in order to enjoy the benefits of
the interstate commerce act, our farm
ers must be prepared to submit to some
of its hardships. On case presented
to them by the New York produce
exchange the interstate commissioners
hold that a railroad shall not be allowed
to charge a greater inland rate Oh grain
or merchandise when destined for an
Eastern seaport than when destined
for a foreign port, passing over the
same line and to the same export point.

discrimination against inland trans
portation. and that the shipper to the
seaboard must have the same advantage
as the shipper to a foreign port. This
is fair and just on the face of it, and
yet the inevitable effect of this decision
must be to reduce the export business
from Western points. If the ocean car
riers insist upon maintaining existing
rates, as they are likely to do, the dis
advantages our Western products now
have to contend with in the markets of
the world will be materially increased.
The small margin of profit to the con-
sumner must become smaller. And yet
we are not in condition to gainsay the
Justice of the decision, or to question
the principle of law upon which it is
founded, because both are in the line of
what our producers have hitherto been
demanding.

MAR. GEoRGE,s RETURN.

A good many people are considering
why it is that HENRY GEORGE received
such cordial welcome on his return to
New York from his recent leeturing
tour in Europe. lie was banqueted
and great fuss made over him; and
that, too, by men who are supposed to
have no sympathy with the single tax
idea. Mr.. GEORGE is radical of the
most radical sort, and the natural sup
position would be that if he got the
cold shoulder anywhere, it would be in
New York, the center of the money
power where conservatism is supposed
to reign supreme. The Herald eX-
plains the warm welcome to Mr..
GEORGE upon the ground that lit
matters little what man thinks if he
only thinks honestly" and that the
demonstration in his honor was intended
as a tribute to Mr.. GEORGES personal
integrity rather than to be any in
dorsement of his peculiar doctrine.
1t is not surprising that the people of
the metropolis should feel pride in
Mr.. GEORGE, regardless of his pet
ideas, just as every Englishman is
proud of GLADSTONE without regard to
his political opinions. And yet it is not
so certain that the GEORGE doctrine is
SO unpopular in New York as some of
the metropolitan press would have us to
believe. The single-taX idea has taken
well in all commercial centerS, both in
this country and in Great Britain. One
would be surprised to mix with the
commercial classes here in the North
west and find how many persons
there are who quietly give assent to the
GEORGE doctrine. 1t is growing in pop
ularity among the working classes, and
altogether Mr.. GE oRGE has more re-
spectacle following in this country than
is usually imagined. Still, this genera
ton will long have been gathered to the
fathers before the GEORGE idea will be
incorporated into the legislation of the
country. He has better field for his
labors in the countries of the British
empire. where the people are already
grooming under the expressions of land
lordlsm. In this country the landlords
are yet in condition of serfdom to the
monopolies, and there is no particular
reason why anybody should want to in
crease the burthens of the landowners.
In time, when the monopolies have
swallowed up all the lands and estab-
lished the leasehold system in this coun-
try, it will be in order for the future
apostles of the GEORGE doctrine to take
the road and spread the single tax evan

IRELAND OF AMERICA.

Mr.. ALLEN, the Democratic candi-
date who was defeated for congress
last year by Gov. DINGLEY in Maine,
describes that state as ''the Ireland of
America" in political, industrial and
commercial sense. Nearly 100000
Maine people have emigrated, and most
of those remaining want to-" he says.
1t has been going behind for thirty
years, and in the last decade has dimin-
ished in population. Its farm products
decreased 5000, 600 between the census
of 1870 and 1850. Land is worth less
than it was fifty years ago, and all the
industries are languishing. Aside from
its fishing trade it has only burdened
farms, idle shipyards and pauper labor
factories. 1t might be the greatest ship
builder for the seas, but Mr.. DINGLEY.
as high tariff advocate, proposes to re-
store American shipping on the high
seas and build up the lost industry by
system of bounties. This plan would
pay steamship companies to carry Am
erican goods to other markets, while
the high tariff upon the raw materials
of production would prevent competi
ton. This would be to allure and in
vite commerce with one hand and repel
it with the other. This would build up
another vast monopoly at the expense
of the people.

THAT MIXING PROCESS.

An Indian is wiser in his day and
generation than the chill dren of light.
This was demonstrated by the stand
JOHN GRASS took at the Standing Rock
conference in opposition to the proposed
treaty, whereby the Sioux Indians are
to surrender their great reservation on
the terms and conditions embodied in
the bill passed by the last congress.
JOHN GRASS is a copper-colOred child
of nature of the usual type, who loves
the freedom of the plains more than he
does the esthetie influences of civiliza-
ton: and yet this untutored savage has
a clearer comprehension of the financial
affairs of the nation than one-half of
the statesmen who make laws and adj
minister the government. Mr.. GRASS
objection to the treaty was that the bill
omitted to provide that the fund arising
from the sale of the Sioux lands should
be set apart and kept separate from the
other public moneys. 1t will be poured
into the Great Fathers big purse at
Washington, argued Mr.. GRASS, and it
will get mixed up with his other money.
According to the instinct possessed by
the sun-hued children of the prairie,
when several different funds get mixed
up in the white mans purse, the
chances fer ever getting them unmixed
are exceedingly slim.
The taxpayers of this country have
been impressed with the Sioux idea for
a long time. They have seen their an
nual contributions in the way of taxes
poured into the big vaults at Washing
ton, where they got so badly mixed that
there isn't man in all the country can
tell what became of the money. And
what is worse. it keeps on piling up and
mixing without an intelligent idea on
the part of any one as to what use it is
to be finally appropriated. 1t is no
wonder that such reckless national finan-
ciering has impressed the unlettered
Sioux with suspicion that the United
States treasury is not the safest deposit
vault in the world. The Indians, how
ever, have one advantage over the white
taxpayers. They are not subject to the
taXgatherers, and can keep their money
in their lands, where there is no danger
from the mixing process.

Persons who have theories to advance
irrigation of the arid lands to the west
of us have the opportunity to confer a
benefit by appearing before the senate
committee in the hall of the chamber of
commerce this morning, where they
will receive respectful audience. The
subject was deemed by the upper
branch of congress of sufficient national
Importance to justify the appointment
Of committee Of that body to make an
investigation of the matter, and report
what, in their opinion, would be the
best methods for retaining these bar
rem sections. Fortunately there is no
lack of water in Minnesota. In this re-
spect nature has been exception
ally munifcent in its benefac-
lions, for Minnesota is the best
watered state in the Union. We
could spare enough from our ten thou
sand lakes and numerous streams to
supply all the country west of us, from
the Minnesota line to the Pacific slope,
if it could only be utilized for the pur-
pose. But as that can't be done, our
surplus water will have to 60 to waste,
and the government be compelled to
discover other resources for supplying
the arid lands of the West with the
moisture nature has withheld. There
are vast bodies OF excellent land in the
Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming that
will forever remain unfit for human
habitation unless some system of irri-
CATION can be devised. These lands are
too desirable to be permitted to remain
in their present condition. The govern
ment will be justified in mourning the
expense of irrigating them. yet it is i'm
portrait that the least expensive method
shall be adopted. Hence the gentlemen
composing the senate committee will
be gratified to have any citizen of the
Twin Cities who has given the subject
any study, to appear before them to-day
and give them the benefit of their
views

THE DANGEROUS POWER.

Gen. PATRICK a. COLLINS, of Massa-
chusetts, is something of sage, as we'll
as an orator and politician. He pre-
diets that the Democrats will win in the
next national election, because ''they
will not be handicapped by the disap-
pointmeuts of patronage" That ex-
presses great deal more than the party
in power seem to realize. The disap-
pointments of patronage made Demo
cratic success possible in 1884, and the
very same cause operated against the
Democrats in 1888. The fact is. that the
offices are so few in comparison with
the number of officeseekers the party in
power will always be placed at disad-
vantage. There has long been popular
impression that the power of federal
patronage was a dangerous power. So
tits; but according to the turn affairs
have taken within recent years, it is
more dangerous to the party that wieldsit
than it is to the opposition. If the dis
appointments of patronage continue at
the present rate, the HARRISON admin
istration will have a merry old time of
it when it comes to balancing scores in
1892.

lieutenant, of the Chicago police force,
arrived in the city at noon. They were
welcomed by the Chicago contingent,
who have been in the city for some time
looking after the Burke case. Chief
Hubbard says he has come here for the
purpose of taking Burke back to Chi
cago. He says that Burke's friends
may make an attempt to rescue the
prisoner, but he will take all necessary
precautions to prevent the successful
accomplishment of any such under
taking. There ale now five Chicago
officers in the city, including
the chief and Lieut.. Ross, and
they will be reinforced at the boundary
by three or four others. An additional
force will join them at st. Paul. so that
the rescue party that carries off Burke
will have to be pretty strong. State

upon his right. The matter was re-
ferred to the judges. The supreme
court of Wisconsin was communicated
with by wire, land upon an answer being
received that Kennedy was one of the
best known lawyers in the state,
the Judges decided that he should
be given admittance to the
Jail as he represented himself to be
Burke's attorney. Accordingly he had
a long interview with Burke in his cell,
last night, during which he impressed
upon his client the Importance OF keep
ing his mouth shut when on his way to
Chicago. Burke cannot be moved until
the warrant for eXtraditien reaches here
from Ottawa. 1t cannot arrive until
Saturday, and the probability is that it
will be some days later.
