SOME OF THE POINTS.

In speculationS about the results of
The census as developed, is is quite gen.
orally stated that the New England
states will lose six or seven congress-
men. On the present ratio there could
be no loss, of course, as there has been
no falling away in population. Yer
mont has almost exactly the figures of
ten years ago, and Maine has but
trife more. The others have all gained
largely in their manufacturing districts,
and in the aggregate. They will hold
their present members of congress, with
any probable ratio, with the exception
of a loss of one perhaps in Massachus-
etts. Vermont, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island have two each. and will
hold them if the ratio is 10000. New
England will not lose more than
two members in any event now
at all probable. The most sur
prising statement yet made in con-
nection with any state is that
Iowa has lost 10000 or more in the past
decade. This has been taken as mis-
statement of the figures, but it is per-
sisted in as the actual summary, with
no chance for the final figures to fill the
gap. Still there may be some distrust.
Every state bounding Iowa has made a
very large addition to its census. Ne
braska and South Dakota, on the west,
have more than doubled and Mime
sofa, on the north. and Missouri, on the
south, have greatly exceeded the aver
age growth of the country. while Illi-
noiS and Wisconsin have kept up we'll.
If Iowa has really lost its thousands, it
is difficult to account for it on any
theory that applies to its neighbors.
There has been depression in agrieult-
ure, but it has not been peculiar to
Iowa. There is evidently chance for
the disbeliever in prohibition to get
in his oar here. He will look little to
the Southwest and see Kansas hating
and stagnant, If not going back, also.
Whether fully justified or not, the CEN
Sus will be made to do active service to
defeat or turn the local currents ad-
versely to prohibition in Iowa, Kansas
and the Dakotas, as we'll as in the pend
ing vote in Nebraska. 1t will require
rare ingenuity to devise a cause
for the contrast in the prohibi-
ton states and their more legally
bibulous neighbors as the census men
insist upon presenting it. Aside from
the new states in the West, there will
be no very marked shifting of political
strength. The report that Wyoming
las but 10000 and Idaho $4,000 may con-

SUMMER GAME.

Judge LAMBERT TREE is one of
those who have returned from the Vel
lowstone Park full of maledictions for
those who have monopoly of caring
for and fleeing visitors. He terms
them an ''ignoble race of human
wolves" This is not creditable to the
government, and the statement might
be made very much stronger without
extravaganza. This rarest of wonder
lands is reserved by the government for
the enjoyment and benefit Of the peo-
pie, not for the cormorantS who seem to
be using it to fill their own pockets
merely. Complaint is made that pleas
ure-seekers go over the water so largely
to see things and spend their money
when their own land furnishes unsur-
passed attractions. Some excuse for
this disposition may be found in the
fact that the tourists find travel cheaper
and the expenses at the popular resorts
much less than in their own country,
The National Park pluekerS are not en-
tirely alone in the theory that summer
tourists are legitimate game.

TWO OF THE SONS.

The sons of public and notable men
do not always add to their comfort and
serenity. President HARRISON has a
son whose name is familiar to the pub
lie. He is not fellow of specially OBJ
hoXious ways, nor is it probable that he
has sought to make his relations to the
White house a matter of distinctive
traffic. He has aimed to be generous
to personal friends in the use of things
to be partitioned out by the head of the
family. He has not shown filial de-
votion to the public professions of his
father in the lottery matter. In several
points he would not fill the picture of a
paragon of sonship, but greater men
have had sons that made them more
trouble. The commissioner of pensions,
Gen. RAUM, has son who advertises
his relationship to draw business, Great
ing the presumption that he has special
influences to aid him in getting claims
allowed. This has drawn out very Sc
we're condemnation from the public, but
there is no evidence that the father dis
courages his boys mode of promoting
thrift. 1t is very near scandal.

To-DAY.s CONVENTION.

The Democratic primaries, held last
evening, elected exceptionally strong
delegations to the county convention
which will meet in Newmarket hall this
morning. This fact, in connection with
the large vote that was polled, is an en-
couraging indication that the Demo-
cratic masses propose to take an active
interest in politics this year.
Out of the abundance of good ma
terial on hand the Ramsey county Dem
ocrats should have no trouble in NOM
mating county ticket that will COM
mend itself to public favor. The
legislative candidates nominated in the
several districts at the primaries last
evening are all of them gentlemen of
ability and high character, and loyal to
Democratic principles. If the conven-
ton will fill up the rest of the ticket
with equally good material, as it I'M
doubleday will, a victory in the fall cleo
ton is assured beyond all peradventure.

Reeds Jokean Morse.

Representative Morse, of Massachu-
sets, was one of the most active mem-
bers in trying to secure recess of the
house this week in order that the con-
gressmen might attend the Boston ceIe-
bration with clear consciences. On
Friday he wentsup to Speaker Reed and
exhibited the petition for recess. 1t
had $50 names attached. and Mr.. Morse
began to argue with the speaker for
recognition in order that he might in
trOduce a resolution authorizing the
recess. The speaker, however. was
hrm LII opposing such a motion, and the
debate between the two became quite
heated. No one knows what the out
come might have been if the speaker
had not had all inspiration.

at his watch. II have an engagement in

1t was the first time Mr.. Morse had
been asked to preside over the house,
and the temptation to accept the honor,
even at the risk of losing his recess res
olHtion, was too great to be resisted So
Speaker Reed descended from his chair
and went out in the lobby, where he
chuckled until his fat sides shook. Mr..
Morse did not get the recess, but the
applause which the members gave him
when he took the gavel in his hand
must have been soothing balm to his

PROMINENT IN POLITICS.

Senator Arthur P. German, of Mary
land, has insrenched himself so solidly
in the affections of the Democracy of his
state by his recent action on the tariff
that there is now no question of his re-
election to the United States senate two
years hence. So satisfied is Mr.. Cor
man himself on this point that he has
purchased new house in Washington.
1t is at the corner of Rhode Island ave-
hue and Seventeenth street. The house
has been vacant since Perry Belmont
left congress to serve as minister to
Spain, during the last few months Of
President Cleveland'S administration.
1t is located in the most fashionable
quarter of Washington, and is a fine
dwelling in all respects. Senator Cor
mans former residence OH K street, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
was much nearer the business quarter
than his new one. He also recently de-
cided not to serve any longer as state
director of the Baltimore s. Ohio rail
road.
The senator began his public career
as page in the senate. This was in
1852, and from then till 1866, when he
ceased to be postmaster, he was in the
employment of the senate in various ca
pacities. 1t was this experience that
probably gave him the thorough knowl-
edge of politics that distinguishes him.
Since then. after having been for time
collector of internal revenue for one of
the Maryland districts, he has served
several terms in the state legislature
and in congress. He has been ten years
in the United States senate.
His attitude on the tariff is not all that
Maryland Democrats could wish, but
they have strong hopes that in time his
conversion will be completed. He has
developed as debater beyond all their
expectations. 1t is only in recent years

Hamlin's Fishing Adventure.

When Hannibal Hamlln was vice
president of the United States he went
fishing in a Canadian stream and had
struck a splendid salmon. A boat ap-
preached in which were the English
treaty commissioners. Mr.. Hamlin was
meeting the crisis with the vigor and
skill OF an accomplished angler. The
EngliShmen, as their boat dew near,
saw that he was battling with noble
foe. When told who the gentlemen
were, Mr.. Hamlin called out: "You
must excuse ME till land this salmon!"
The Introduction was deferred for about
half an hour, when the Englishmen
were able to salute not only the vice
president but the conqueror of kingly
salmon. He decided the question of ETH
quette off-hand, though it is to be pre-
sumed that the salmon would have pre-
ferred the following of the venerable
and accepted rule-drop everything
when caller is announced.

STUCK IN THE MUD.

The times are surely out of joint
when MATT QUAY can't handle Re
publican caucus. His failure to ma
nipulate the senatorial caucus Thursday
night may be attributed to- several
causes. In the first place, the RepubIi-
can senators are not so much averse to
wearing QUAY's collar as they are to
parading that fact before the public.
Hence, when they got into caucus they
got stubborn and refused to say any
thing or to do anything. In the sec
ond place, the Republican senators find

bills fairly we'll described by the old
couplet:

DAVIS LITTLE KICK.

Senator DAVIS had the courage to
vote with the Democrats in opposition
to the tin-plate clause in the MCKINLEY
bill, and now the wonder is that Mr..
DAVIS doesn't muster up courage to
vote against the whole abomination.
Senator DAVIS has ever been disciple
of JAMES G. BLAINE. He has walked
and talked with BLAINE on the tariff
question eyer since he has been old
enough to walk and talk. 1t must occur
to him, as it has occurred to his eminent
tutor, that there is not line in the Nc
KINLEY bill which will open the market
for another bushel of wheat or another
barrel of pork. 1t is the opening of a
WHEAT market and pork market that
MI. DAVIS constituents are interested
in securing. There is no anxiety in
these parts to increase the cost of man
ufaetured fabrics, the very thing the
MCKINLEY bill proposes to do. Why,
then, should Senator DAVIS, or Senator
WAsHBURN, or any other Western SEN
ator, be lured under the specious cry of
party loyalty into the support of a
measure which must inevitably work
ruin to the agricultural interests of the
West?
How much more creditable it would
he to them to do as Senator PLUMB is
dOing-Stand up in the senate and fight
the Ubiquitous measure at every step of
its progress.
The moral cowardice of modern states
manship is the bane of the republic.
Senator CUsH DAVIS is a brainy man,
one of the brainieSt in the senate; and
yet, of what avail are his brains so
long as he lacks the moral courage to
protect the interests Of those whom he
represents He is making no better
record for himself, nor is he doing any
thing more for his constituents than
OAR" HALL, who doesn't know
enough to get under cover when it
rains.
What the people of Minnesota want.
almost without regard to party affilia-
tons. is to have the MCKINLEY bill
killed, and killed as dead as stone.

ARTESIAN IRRIGATION.

The feasibility of irrigating the Da-
kotas by artesian wells is now pretty
well established, and the inexhaustible
water supply which lies underground
ought to be utilized for making an Eden
of perpetual fertility out of a section
that has suffered so severely from
drouth for the last three years. Irriga-
ton is a pet hobby with Maj. POWELL,
of the geological bureau, but his theo-
ries took such an impractlcable turn,
and his methods were so expensive, that
congress was compelled to shut down
on appropriations for that purpose.
The Dakota idea is entirely different,
however, from the visionary schemes
which originated in MAJ. PowELL's
brain; and if the general government is
not willing to help the Dakota people
in this matter, they ought to go to work
and help themselves. The few expert
ments that have been made with arte-
sian well irrigation in South Dakota are
of the most satisfactory nature. In ev-
cry instance the effort has been crowned
with success, and while the experiments
are costly, yet the results justified the
outlay of capital. With a steady wheat
crop assured. averaging from twenty

sional elections are coming on, and the
murmurs of popular discomfort are loud

sion that his people are opposed to the

money on the general public? To call
the one thing ''legalized pillage" and
the other ''legalized protection" makes
a difference in nomenclature, but there
is no difference i'll principle.
This is very plain statement made
by the Philadelphia RECORD. Our Min
nesota wheat growers should look
into it.:
1--WE exported 100000 bushels of
wheat last year. and imported 1900
bushels. The imported wheat was prob
ably wanted for seed, or. mayhap, it
may have been raised in some corner of
Canada where it could not readily be
sold to other customers than people of
the United States. The whole tariff duty
collected on this wheat was 1899, the
duty being 20 per cent. Now it is pro-
posed to raise the duty to 25 per cent,
in order to make the farmers think that
they are protected on commodity of
which they have an immense surplus to
sell, and for which they are obliged to
accept the prices paid in foreign mar
kets for wheat raised by the ill-paid la
borers of Russia, India and Egypt! We
doubt if the Flathead Indians could be
fooled by the performance with which
Republican congressman seek to impose

There is suspicion that Henry George

the fact that not a vote was cast in their
county for Benjamin Harrison as presi-
dent.

Louis Globe-Democrat lis an object of
considerable interest to the politicians"
Secretary Tracy's emergency" OPEN
ng of the Kittery navy yard shows the
truth of this observation.

empower the president to suspend tariff
taxes. or to reimpose repealed tariff
taxes, in certain contingencies, of which
the president shall be the sole Judge"
says the Philadelphia Times, is bold
stride toward the most despotic and
revolutionary exercises of power"
The Providence Journal thinks that
speeches like the ''manfy, patriotic and
friendly speech of Congressman Brock
inridge, OF Kentucky, ''urging harmony,
union, and mutual help and understand
ing between the North and South" are
calculated to make such makebates as

the politicians whose chief capital is re-
elimination and misrepresentation, look
very small indeed"
The fact is subject for serious appre-
hension as to the morals of the es-
teemed New York Sun that in a recent
