MEAT INSPECTION.

Having passed both branches of the
legislature, the meat inspection bill
only awaits the signature of the governor
to become law, and will then have the
opportunity to confirm or falsify the
predictions that have been made con-
corning its operators. Being an exper-
iment in this state, everything that
has been said relating to the subject has
been more or less gueSSwork. Yet the
arguments in favor OF its adoption were
convincing enough to induce large
majority of the members of the legisla-
ture to risk the experiment.
We are inclined 10 the belief that the
success of the measure will depend q
good deal upon the uniformity of its op-
erations. and therefore the legislature
made mistake in remitting to each
municipality the regulation of fees and
the manner of providing for the pay Of
inspectors. We took occasion, during
the pendency of the bill before the leg
islature, to call the attention of that
body to the necessity of amending its
provisions so that there could be no
likelihood of repetition of the Oil in
Spectlon scandal, but the matter was
overlooked. In this single particular
the bill is faulty, and we hope to see the
mistake remedied by supplemental leg
islation.
1t is understood that the Chicago
and Kansas City slaughterers will un-
dertake to overthrow all state legisla-
tion on the subject of meat inspection
by appealing to the federal courts, on
the ground that it interferes with inter
state commerce. 1t is not necessary to
discuss this aspect of the new law until
the occasion arises. But we are inclined
to the opinion that the beef combine
will find itself in the soup when it
undertakes to establish the doctrine
that the states are to be deprived of
their police powers. If state has the
right to prohibit the liquor traffic within
its borders, as the supreme court of the
United States has decided, then, surely,
it has the right to prohibit the traffic in
impure and unWholesOme food.

WOULD SELL HIS SILVER.
Senator Stewart Gives Window a
Lecture on Finance.

Senator Stewart Gives Window a
Lecture on Finance.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Stewart, of Nevada, had long inter
view with Secretary Window yesterday,
In which he tried to persuade the
secretary to increase the monthly
purchase of silver. This, the Nevada
senator argued, was the best way to
reduce the surplus. Secretary Window
could not see just how the suplus was
to be reduced by giving out greenbacks
and getting silver in return. He said
he had some twenty millions of silver
dollars in the treasury vaults, some of
which he would be very glad to part
with. To purchase more silver would
be simply changing the shape of the
surplus from gold and paper to silver.
Mr.. Stewart made the point that the
purchase OF silver brought mill
ions of money from the treasury
and distributed it among the people Mr..
Window stated that it would be impos-
slbie to take any action in the increased
purchase of silver until the Sdbject has
been very carefully weighed and con-
sIdered by the president and discussed
IN the cabinet meetings. 1t is under
stood that the Nevada senator will soon
have an interview with President Har-
rlson about the matter, and afterwards
it is expected it will become special
subject for discussion in cabinet meet

OPEN THE DOORS,

Senator Teller has his fair share OF &C.
centricities and angularit1es, but his
resolution in favor of open sessions for
the consideration of nominations shows
that there is solid Substratum of COM
mon sense in his mental make-up.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat (Rep.)
Teller's resolution is probably piece
OF bluff on the part of the willy Colorado
senator, who desires to make the cOun-
try believe that he has no reason to be
ashamed of his course i'll speaking and
voting against Mr.. Halstead; but such
change must nevertheless be brought
about In some way. The American
people are very tired of the star cham
Der methods of the senate.-Cleyeland
Leader (Rep.)
The only way to meet the several objec-
tienS is to discuss the merits and de-
merits of the presidents appointments,
just as all other domestic affairs
are discussed, in open session and in
the full hearing of the representatives
OF the press. The senate has much to
gain ana nothing whatever 20 lose by
paying due attention to the drift of pub
lie sentiment.-PittSburg Commercial
Gazette (Rep.)
There isnothing that the senate can Edo
that.the people are not tdirectiyconcerned
in. The business of that body is public
business, and public business should not
be transacted i'll private. The reasons for
the rejection of a treaty or nomination

and they should be furnished in open
debate.-MemplfiS Arcad (dem.}

Secretary Blaine's Answer to
Belmont's Letter Of Resig-
nation.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the
Armes court-martial to-day, the first wit
ness was F. L. Haight, who testified
that he saw Armes raise his hand to
Gov. Beavers face in the Riggs house
lobby and the governor strike with his
crutch at Armes. Roger A. Sprague
testified that Armes seized the govern
or'S nose and wrenehed it violently, and
the governor struck at him with
crutch. Gov. Beaver gave
no provocation for the assault.
Hallet Kilourne identified the publica-
tion of Armes' letter in the Critic.
Thomas B. Johnson, of South Carolina,
saw Armes follow Gov. Beaver, reach
out his left arm and run his hand over
the governors face. who seemed dazed
for moment, but then poked his crutch
at Armes, who retreated. The governor
said: "This is outrageous" or 'This is
dastardlY." There was cry to "put
him out; knock him down." and
somebody led Armes out of the hotel.
}. E. HeWes testified, that by direction
of the clerk he had put his hand On
Armes, who told him to take it off. and
said: ''I've pulled his damned nose. l
am glad of it. came here to pull his
nose, and L am glad of it," Witness re-
piled that he must not pull the noses
of guests, and that he must go out,
or he (Witness) would put him under
arrest. Then Maj. Burke, the hotel
manager, told witness to let the
man go; that he had done nothing.
He did so, but was sorry when he
learned whose nose had been pulled.
Witness had served under Gov. Beaver
in the army, and he would have ''locked
the major up if the governor had not told
him to let the matter drop" Lieut..
Chase, Third artillery, testified that he
saw defendant with servant on inaug-
uratiOn day, near the presidential party,
when Capt. Bourke took the bride of
his horse and led him out of the column.
Col. Gibson. who spoke to Armes, and
Capt. Bourke, were sober and their
actions proper and soldier-like. Lieut..
Satterlee, Third artillery, testified that
Gen. Hastings had sent an order
through him to Col. Gibson to remove
Armes from the procession, and
if necessary, to use force. Col. Gibson,
taking the stand, told how he
had ordered Armes to leave the process
sion. although the defendant said he
had letter of authority from Col. Dud-
ley. Capt. BGurke told how he had put
Capt. Armes out of the procession and
detailed the circumstance of his (wIt-
ness'l arrest on the charge of Armes,
and the failure of the latter to appear,
leading to the dismissal Of the case.
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-04-13

FLAG also admitted that he had
made up his mind six months ago
to come to America, and had
availed himself Of this opportunity
to secure work in advance. After hear
ing all the evidence in the case, Secre-
tary WIND ON decided that FLAG was
prohibited from landing according to
the provisions of the contract labor law,
and directed that FLAG be sent back
home at the expense of the vessel that
brought him over.
There are many who think that Mr..
WINDOW has given strained eonstruc-
ton to the law, and that its effect will
be to deter skilled European artisans
from coming to this country at all, thu
crippling many important manufactur-
ing industries. On the other hand, the
secretary's action in the matter is con-
strued to mean that he will permit no
possible evasion of the law, and has
thus served notice ON the American
manufacturers that they must abandon
the Indirect methods many of them
have adopted to employ European
labor,

March II, 1SS9.-Sir: On the morning

from you, reading as follows: Il hereby
request my resignation as minister
placed at presidents disposal. Bel
mont Your request has been
complied with, and l am di-
rected by the president to in
form you that in difference to
your expressed wish, your resignation
is accepted with regret that your vol
untary retirement deprives the service
of a faithful and competent representa-
tive. While it is naturally inferable
from the language of your telegram
that you would hold yourself at the dis
posal of the president, and while it
is gratifying to assume that you
will continue to acceptably perform the
duties of Sour Office until your sue
cessor's arrival. it appeared courteous
and proper in advising you by tele-
graph of the acceptance of your resig-
nation, to ascertain your willingness to
remain at your post until relieved, and
l accordingly to-day telegraphed You,
saying your resignation is accepted,
and asking whether it would be
agreeable to await the arrival of
your successor. Pending the receipt of

CHECKING IMMIGRATION.

In sustaining the action of the col

FLAG. to land, Secretary WINDOW sig
nlfies his purpose to give the utmost
stretch to the provisions of the federal
contract labor law. 1t appears that
FLAG came to this country in response
to an advertisement inserted in Swiss
paper by the Newark Embroidery
works, calling for twelve embroiderers.
the advertisement saying that the trade
in this country Is short of operatives. II
was shown that FLAG paid his own
passage money. and had made no con-
tract with the Newark company; but
he had brought letter from Swiss
immigrant agent to the manager of the
Newark works, saying that FLAG had
been engaged as an embroiderer.
