Will Try 1t Again.

At the Railway House in Austin recently
Justice j. D. Sheedy reunited in marriage
Hon c. O. Kleven, of Faribault, and Mrs.
Annie Kleven, Of Albert Lea The feature
of special interest in connection with the
pleasant wedding is the fact that the now
happy parties were welded to each other
)out seven or eight years ago, but for some
reason they were disappointed each with the
other and agreed to disagree, which resulted
In legal divorce It has eliminated in mu-
tual explanations and a happy reunion.
Indians Are Starving.
The annuities of the Red Lake and Penn
bina bands of Chippewa Indians, number
ing two hundred and sixty-four persons,
have been withheld for the last five months,
under orders of the Indian Commissioners,
and as consequence the red men have OF
late been In a state of actual starvation.
Naked and without resources they have ap-
pealed In vain to the proper authorities for
relief. Had it not been for the charity of
some Eastern women they would have per-
ished before this.
Eloped and Were Married..
Rev. J. II. Chamberlain said the ceremony
the other afternoon at Grand Forks, D. T.,
which made Charles E. Vanteyl and Miss
Alta NJ. Cooper man and wife. They had
been attending school together at Mentor,
this State, and though but seventeen and
fifteen years of age had concluded to get
married Their parents refused to allow
the wedding to occur at home and the
young people eloped. The elder Vanteyl
was furious and declares he would disinherit.

PRISON IEGTSLATTOE ONCE MORE.

Tho chairman of the Assembly Committee
ou Prisons. Mr.. Slavery, has brought forward
Prison bill. A member Of this committee for
two wears, thoroughly familiar with the con-
d;tion of all our penal institutions, having had
the benefit Of the advice Of the leading prison
officials and Of philanthropists who are prom
inent in prison reform, the measure which Mr..
Sayery introduces should be and Is sensible
and practical one. 1t provides that the state
account system Of labor shall be adopted in the
prisons and penitentiares Of the State, and the
niece price system or county account system or
both shall be adopted in the county institutions
Perhaps the most important feature OF the
measure is the one creating board charged
with the duty of determining the number OF
convicts that may be employed on any one IN
dustry In reaching decision the board Is to
have regard to the welfare Of the State, OF The
convicts and of free labor. OF course, rs far
as possible industries are to be selected which
will have the least effect upon free labor. Inc
discrimination at which the board arrives Is TO
be revised as often as may be necessary TO
maintain the equilibrium.
According to tho decision Of tho Attorney
General, the only system Of labor which can
be used in the prisons Is the state account
system The Legislature of 1884 passed
bill prohibiting the Superintendent OF Prisons
from making any more contracts. Until that
law is repealed the State account system must
stand. II Is not system which has commend
ed itself to tho people Of this State-it has
proved too expensive. Still the financial ex-
hibit Of Auburn Prison since 1884 indicates
that it can be pursued 50 az moro than to pay
it's way. II the board provided for in the
Savery bill does its duty the labor organizations
of the State can have no reason TO complain
of prison competition, since such competition
will DO reduced to minimum. The bill IS
further to be commended because it looks to
keeping all the prisoners at work, not portion
of the year, but all the year. The fatal defect
of the Yates bill of last summer is that 1t ne
oessitated the locking up Of so many prisoners
in their cells day after day because there was
nothing for them TO do. II is agreed on all
sides that. the measure which supersedes tho
Yates bill must secure the prisoners steady
work.
The Prison Committees Of tho Legis-
lature are making a resolute endcayor TO dis
charge the important duty committed to their
hands so that the people will be satisfied. This
Is generally understood, and there is no dis
position to hurry them. But the session IS
rapidly drawing to q close, and it is very de-
sirable that the Prison bill agreed upon In
committee should be reported az promptly as

The Admiralty, according to Lord George
Hamilton, is not taking advice IN tnis matter
from designers, but has consulted the Aunura'

Tho hest outside opinion that could be had"
II has evidently profted largely by the criu-
cisms of naval policy which SIR ihomas
svmonds. Admiral Horribly and Lord Alcester
have recently offered. These experts nave
united in the opinion that England is now prac-
t;calv powerless to take the initiative In
great naval war and to protect its commerce on
the high seas. They haye recommended an
Immediate increase in the number oil seasoins

hest expert advice that can be obtained IN inc
service, and grounds its proposals upon tne
necessity for equalling the combined naval te-
vources Of any two other countries. Ordinary
o,oc.ntions would be taken if the teet were
gradually strengthened so as to be kept abreast
With auy single navy. The Admiralty deems
it necessary TO provide against the CONTINGENCY
Of hostile alliances between France and ltaly'
or between France and the United states
Yet nothing could be more improbable IN the
nresent state of Europe and America, than the
formation Of such alliances against England.

I Michirnn salt Der barrel :

Here there Is seen q reduction Of about ninety
five cents per barrel In the average net price re-
ceived by manufacturers for salt from the imitation
prices Of 1866. which were in appreciated cur
rency, TO the prices Of 1877 and 1873. But since
resumption restored gold prices, the decline has
still continued, so that the average for two years
has been less than sixty cents per barrel The
finest dairy salt, according TO the same report
sells OF 81 80 per barrel of $50 pounds, and IL is
supplnnting the liverpool Ashton salt in oil
Western markets. The Dairymen's associations
OF Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin and other States,
after a series Of the most critical tests, declared
Michigan salt TO be the best for dairy purposes"
page 3D.
Now IL is stated that this victorious industry,
which has so conquered all difficulties that II
challenges competition with the whole world as TO
quality or rs TO cheapness of product, is to be
controlled by trust or syndicate, in connection
with the British salt syndicate which has recently
advanced prices in Great Britain The object, so
far as English instigators are concerned, Is OBJ
vious: they want TO retain what market they have
on this side Of the Atlantic, and to that end must
somehow induce American producers so to raise
the price of their products that. transportation
being added, those products still be undersohl
In some parts of this country But the Americans
who enter into such q combination are not the
friends but the worst enemies Of the protective
system. II they carry out the plan ascribed to
them they at least will have no right TO complain

BRITISH NAVAL PROPOSALS

The naval scheme laid before Parliament by
the British Government is one of extraordinary
magnitude. 1t provides for the expenditure
of 81 OF 500, 600 within seven years in the con-
struction Of ten battle-ships and sixty cruisers.
Eight battle-ships are to have a displacement
Of Ia 600 tons; the remaining two 5000 tons.
The largest ships now in the British Navy arc
the Trafalgar and Nile, launched during the
last two years, with displacement Of IL "a 0
tons each and an estimated speed of 10 knots.
The three largest French battle ships, Baudin,
Duperre and Formidable, have each displace-
ment of IL, $50 tons, with speed of 5 knots.
The Government now proposes to build eight
monstrous ships over 1000 tons in advance
of tho largest vessels in either tho British or
French navies and slightly in excess of the
Italia, the most formidable of modern war
ships. These battle ships are to have a speed
of IL 1-2 knots. Of the sixty cruisers eieh-
teen are to be torpedo gunboats of 1856 tons
and speed Of 81 knots-3 knots faster than
the Rattlesnakej four are to be Pandoras of
1900 tons, and twenty mine improved Medeas
Of 3,400 tons, with speed of 90 knots, and
nine are to be improved Merseys, with dis
placement Of 1900 tons and speed Of 20
knots. The British Navy now has fifty-one
cruisers and perhaps dozen torpedo
catchers which can steam 10 knots and up
ward, but IS knots is the maximum speed.
Sixty cruisers aud gpnboats are to be added.

SALT AND PROTECTION.

Protection has two foes TO fight. In order
TO serve the country according 70 it's aim, it has
to vanquish the skill OF foreign rivals and the
greed OF home producers. When defence against
foreign competition has SO developed home in
dustry That the competition of domestic pro-
dueers reduces cost TO consumers, the next step
Is often ON effort OF producers TO lift prices
again by some sort Of combination. In these
days IL is fashionable 20 call every such combine
ton trust but while the methods differ widely,
the object is always 10 enable the producer TO
stop the home competition, and TO get larger
profits out Of the public. II he succeeds for the
time, the public is TO that extent deprived Of
che benefit Of protection.
For many years the free-traders were In the
habit Of complaining most bitteIly about the
duties on salt. II was ON infamous tax on the
public, they asserted, and dreadful obstacle
10 home industries, because the tarin-taXed
salt entered as an essential material into the
packing OF meats and other industries The
complaints had for q time some grain Of truth
In them then home competition steadily reduced
the cost Of domestic salt until Americans began
10 realize the benefits Of projection; and now

II is only o few months since Mr.. Mills ana
his associates, the statesmen OF Southern planta-
tons, were going up and down in the Northern
States teaching the people that they were robbed

the consumers in Liverpool get salt ut sub

Of deeper import, and, believing as he does, Mr..
Flournoy is more logical than Northern Demo
Gratis or Mugwumps when he declares that
speeches about the debt or the tariff are out OF
Mace. No economic question can be settled
until il has first been determined whether the
race which does most of the labor at the South
shall have any voice in the settlement.
The methods of Mr.. Flournoy and his friends
are detested by every loyal citizen, because
they involve notification Of the supreme law
Of the land. Free government cannot exist
where few persons are permitted to carry
elections as they please, and are sustained in
every crime perpetrated for that purpose on
the ground that negro domination cannot be
prevented nor can civilized society be main
tanned in any other way. 1t is not too much
to say that these methods are detested by Mr..
Flournoy and those who think with him. They
know that the deeds done are infamous even
while they plead az the excuse for them an in
tolerable necessity. But if they are right, II
honest enforcement of the Constitution would
make good government and civilized society
impossible in Southern States, then the Nation
must ultimately choose between negro disfran-
chisement or military government for States
which persist in multiplying the Constitution.
Mr.. FlournOy thinks Northern men will choose
Acknowledgement Settling at the South. and
coming to know the necessity, they will finally
influence Northern opinion, he believes, to ac-
cept the Southern solution.
Mr.. Flournoy and all who think with him
need to be convinced that this solution is
impossible. They have no right to sug-
gest it, no right to contemplate it in their
minds, until they have first given fair and
honest trial to the Constitution of the United
States. This they have never done. From
the first they have defeated negro suffrage by
refusing to act upon their own honest convic-
tons in questions of National or local impor-
lance. Sacrificing all their other beliefs to the
one purpose of defeating negro suffrage, mass
ing white voters on one side, making it almost
impossible for white citizens to live in comfort
or prosperity, except in political obedience to
a conspiracy essentially disloyal because hos
tile to the Constitution, they have prolonged
the war 10 this day. Until that resistance
ceases, until the Constitution has been heartily
obeyed and faithfully enforced, in Southern
as in Northern States, it is folly to expect any
change Of Northern opinion.

THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM.

History does not record an instance OF the
Acknowledgement Of race to which suffrage
has once been granted, Nations have ceased
to exist. the entire population Of cities, dis
tricts or States have been stripped OF their
freedom; large bodies of citizens have for q
time been deprived OF participation in Gov
ernment which they had tried to destroy. But
so powerful is the tide which sets toward larger
participation of the people in the Government
under which they live that revolutions in that
direction never 60 backward. Yet II. W..
Flournoy, the Virginia Secretary Of State, in
an address on "The Negro Problem" declares
thai the Acknowledgement Of the negro is the
only possible solution, and that all other ques-
tons are insignificant in comparison with this,
because it concerns the very foundation OF civil
society at the South.
In one respect MIR. Flournoy has more level
head than those who will scott at him as
fanatic. The question which they try to hurry
with sneers at the "bloody shirt" is in fact at
the bottom of all other questions. "The war
has been over twenty-four years. say these
persons. But in deeper and truer sense it is
not yet over, and will not be until genuine and
hearty obedience to the Constitution and laws
Of the United States prevails at the South.
The Southern men who resist and defeat negro
suffrage on the plea that with 1t civilized Sc
ciety is impossible, are simply making war
on the Constitution of the United States. and
if they are right, civilized society and good
government at tho South under the Constita-
ton are impossible. ThAra can he no question
