WILL BE IN POLITICS.

The Republican leaders are anxious
to, and claim that they will, pass a
tariff bill that will remove that subject
FRONT party politics for some years, at
least. 1t is intimated that they may
find an issue in the field opened by the
late Iowa decision OF the supreme court.
That tribunal suggested that the place
for relief from the embarrassments of its
creEasSe in the prohibition ieVees was in
congress. The legislation to be asked
will be the granting to states of the right
to confiscate any articles recognized in
interstate traffic that are obnoxious to
the state laws. Possibly it will be made
specific, and confined to intoXieantS;
otherwise there might be interference
with interstate traffic at the caprice of
the state. 1t is coming to be accepted
that the opening for the original pack
ages will be of little practical Importance
outside the states that have prohibitory
enactments. II the question goes into
national politics, it will be virtually
along the prohibitory lines. 1t will in
volve something of state powers, but its
application will relate to the admission
of alcoholic clements. If the Republi-
cans take up this question in place of
the tariff, it will afford them an oppor-
tunity to strengthen themselves with
the present third party, unless it may
be better statement that the Prohibi-
tionists will absorb the Republican
party. No action on the subject is at
all probable in the present congress. In
Kansas the capital organ of the Repub-
fcans already demands that all candi-
dates.for congress shall pledge them
selves on this point; and in Iowa, too.
the Republican candidates will be re-
quired to show their hands, and the In
dications are that most of them will be
defelted,

What the Ramsey County SIS. Con-

From the programmes now out for
the Ramsey County Sunday School con-

APoI,1rICAL SYNDICATE.

The reticence on political subjects
persisted in by Gen. E. A. ALGER on
his visit to this section this week al
lowed no direct confirmation of the
theory extant at Washington and else
where that his friends have, under
proper inspiration, effected combina-
ton with Speaker REED, the latter to
take the nomination for vice president
with him in 1892. The impression goes
with the theory that the ambitious
speaker has virtually acceded to its re-
quirements. 1t is not a romantic con-
ception. The geography of the thing
is right. ALGER has travelled about the
country caring for the veterans, and is
assumed to have them solid. He has
shown ability to acquire colored dele
gates from the South. ALLISON and
MCKINLEY are to kill each other off
with their tariff bills. HARRISON
is expected to be effete and not
in the way. SHERMAN has had
his chances, and is to be muz-
zled for the party. The tariff is to be
put in abeyance if possible, and the
pension business and bloody shirt are
to be the blazonry of this political syn
dicate. The outgivings of REED in his
Pitts5urg speech show the spirit of the
thing. The party fires are to be fed
with this old fuel. Gen. ALGER could
have made an entertaining interview,
had he given his full and frank opinion
of the situation and coming events in
the light of this theory. He has valu-
able counsel in the words and expert
ence of the justly esteemed and popu-
lar lady who did so much to promote
the political fortunes of her husband,
Gen. LOGAN. There is plausibillty in
the theory.

Poisoned By Her Gloves.

The Warsaw Courier reports SIN
gular fatality which occurred few days
ago in that city. A young Jewess from
Kieff was visiting her friends in the
Polish capital, who gave ballin honor
of their handsome young kinswoman.
The latter purchased for the occasion Il
pair of long Danish gloves. While
dancing the young lady felt pain in
her left wrist, which became suddenly
inf1amed and swollen. 1t appears that
while making her toilet she had slightly
pricked her wrist with pin. A medi-
cal examination showed that the young
lady was suffering from carbunele and
blood poisoning, contracted from the
glove, which the doctors declare to have
been made from the skin of all animal
suffering from carbuucle or anthrax.
Notwithstanding the various means
adopted by the doctors to save their un-
fortunate patient she died in forty-eight
hours in great agony. The fatal gloves
were purchased in fashionable War
SAW shop.

APRoFITARI,E I,EssoN.

The lessons of the late campaign are
full of profit; and there is none more
profitable than the one which taught
the righteousness OF demagogy. Ger
tain respectable gentlemen who were
Candidates, and who ought to know
better than to talk as they did, went
around among the workingmen making
promises that in case they were elected
they would raise wages to Sc and IS per
day. The absurdity of the promise
stamped the makers as demagogues of
the first water; and instead of catching
the labor vote, the workingme en- laughed
in their sleeves at men who had so low
an estimate of the intelligence OF the
working people as to suppose that they
could be enticed by this sort Of chaf.
There is perhaps not worllingman
in the city but would gladly accept a
compensation of Sc or IS for a days
labor. Yet there is not one but knows
that promises of this kind made in cleo
ton times are not made in good faith,
for the simple reason that 1t would be

DOESN'T SUIT THEM.

, The MORRILL, pension bill, which
passed the house so largely and is eX-
pected to become a law. provides PEN
sions for all soldiers who served ninety
days and are in need, on reaching sixty
years, with contingencies for relatives;
but it is not satisfactory to the Grand
Army members. They do not regard it
as filing the promises Of the Repub-
licans in the last campaign. A G. A. R.
convention was in session in Ohio when
the bill passed the house. Its response,
after a full consideration Of the subject,
was that ''we now demand of the con-
gress of the United States the passage
of per diem service pension law, pure
and simple" The bill passed was a
compromise between the service and
dependent pension propositions. 1t was
intimated by Republicans in the debate
that it was the outer line Of liberality,
and should be accepted with enthusi-
asm by the soldiers. The difficulty with
the veterans is that they took the
promises of the Republicans when bid
ding for their votes too literally. as has
been remarked ma local way of late.
They meant to concede in resolutions
aud oratory all the soldier element
asked, but when the settlement came
they expected to plead insolvency, and
compromise on 25 cents on the dollar,
1t is not a question as to what is eQui.
table and possible, but whatthe promises
were in consideration of the soldier
vote. 1t is true there was no intention
of redeeming these pledges, and the sol
diers were deluded by political trick
sters; but it IS the privilege of the
victims to compel the Republicans in
congress to go on the record. This
would have been the case in the house
the other day, had the bill not been
pushed through in few hours without
any opportunity for amendment. 1t is
a matter between the Republicans
and the g. A. r. The Democrat;
always favor generous trea tment of the
soldiers of the republic, but have no
made trades of public money for votes.

ri Ida Strhihoff, the pretty seventeen
year-old daughter of Bohemian couple
of that name residing on the Bohemian
flats, is missing. Ida is an unusually
well developed girl of her age. and has
been for some years past the assistant
of her mother IN the conduct of fam
ily laundry business on small scale.
On Saturday evening she went to Min
neapolis to visit some friends there. and
said on leaving that she would return
on Tuesday evening. This she failed
to do, and her mother, getting uneasy,
went to Minneapolis in search
of her. This led to the dis
covery that she bad not been
seen there by the friends she was to
have visited, and several of the girls
relatives joined in the search. Last
evening discoveries were made which
indicate almost beyond doubt that
what at first looked like a mysterious
disappearance is simply repetition OF
the old story OF thwarted love and the
inevitable elopeinent. For several
months past very swell young barber,

that he was niger, in which she was
right to the extent that the Lotharlo,

Adams we're found who said that he
had told them he was to be married on
Sunday and was going to Omaha with
his wife OH that night. 1t was also dis
covered that Adams had purchased
tickets and sleeping car accommodation
for Omaha on Saturday night late, and
that he was accompanied when
making the purchase by young
woman answering the description
of the missing girl. Adams is
given reputation in Minneapolis as a
first-claSs workman and steady fellow,
and but for the fact that he is colored.
seems in every way worthy of his bride.
When the facts became known relating
to her daughters marriage to Adams,
Mrs. Streihoff was inconSolable, and
announced her intention of going to
Omaha at once for the purpose of in
ducing her to return. The probability
is. however, that Ida is weary of the
washing business. and prefers the COM
1parative comfort her husband can pro-
vide her to the daily dradgery of life
on the flats.

A Pugilist Engrossed in Mimic
War on the Stage.
P. Killen, pugilist, is great admirer
of tragedy. particularly such as portrays
giadiatoriai prowess. He never fails to
attend such entertainments when they
come along. 1t is told, and believed, of
Killen that he once journeyed to Omaha
town, 500 miles away, for the express
purpose of seeing Barrymore and Kelly
in the wrestling scene when
those two athletic actors were
supporting Nine. Majeska in Rosa
lind. So intensely realistic was the
bout and so entirely different from the
usual presentation OF the contest be-
tween Charles and Orlando. that Killen
leaned over the railing of his box and
kept up running fire of comments Mt
terly obliviouS to his surroundings.
This story can the more readily be be-
lieved since last evening. Killen heard
at late moment that MacLean was
play Spartacus. He dropsed everything
and went. He might overlook Richard

Spartacus and PhaSarius embraced, Mr..
Killen exclaimed: "Catch-as-catch-can

ran on, unmindful Of the attention of
those about him. His sympathies were
so keenly aroused toward the barbarian
that he leaned forward in his parquette
seat when the gladiator came on in the
final scene, and in hoarSe tone said:
out-knock 'em all out!'
Killen may not pay much attention to
technique, tor he lays no claim to being
a critic. but his remarks were the
highest praise that Mr.. MacLean could
have received.

THE REPUBLICAN, PUZZLE.

The date has officially been settled
when the house will take vote upon
the tariff bill. 1t may be presumed that
it will be sent to the senate the latter
part of this month. The indications
are that enough Republicans can be
forced to its support as it is, to effect its
success in the house. The caucus will
make it party measure, and possibly
a few minor amendments will be al
lowed, as in the case of the st. Louis
member who manufactures granite
ware and kicks at the increased duty on
certain ingredients used. Bnt it is be-
Iieyed that the house will adopt it sub
stantially as it is prepared. When it
reaches the senate 1t will 60 to the
finance committee, the leadingsRepubli-
can members of which are ALLISON, of
Iowa, and ALDRIcH, of Rhode Island.
A year or two ago they would have
found little occasion to question that
it was what the people are calling and
hungering after. But Iowa has now a
Democratic governor, and Rhode Island
will have as soon as the legislature
meets. A tariff built on the MCKINLEY
fashion is a load the party cannot carry
in either of those states. In addition,
ALLISON claims to be better tariff ar
chitect than MCKINLEY. and the sue
cess of the latter in this effort might
give hIm prestige as presidential can
didate.. ALLISON has that ambition,
and has discovered that his chances do
not rest upon high tariff basis. The
MCKINLEY bill will not emerge from
this committee, but new measure
built on lower lines and less palpably
of protection material will be gotten up.
1t will probably pass the senate, and
between the two the chances are that
no tariff measure will become law.
Against this, however. is the impress
sion that some bill must be passed to
save the party in the fall elections.
The puzzle is how to stem the popular
tide setting against the party.
