TESTING THE MATTER.

A Democratic paper OF leading charac-
ter in Chicago asserted recently that the
new tariff bill, for which the Republican
party assumed the entire responsibility,
raises prices along all material lines, and
In proof of the assertion advised its patrons
to call at clothing stores. dry goods stores
carpet stores, hardware stores and crockery
stores and compare prices now with before
the passage of the bill.
The Rochester On. Y Democrat and
Chronicle took the advice of its contempo-
rsry, and the result it gives with great
elaboration. In not one of the stores
named did it find the prices raised. The
hardware men said their stocks were worth
no more and worth no less than before the
passage of the bill the proprietors added
that there is no tariff on homemade goods,
of course, and that as to imported articles
nearly everything of that kind was higher
before than after the adoption of the new
law. The carpet men answered that they
were selling at precisely the old prices.
They added that the competition among
manufacturers at home had been so sharp
that prices had run down to almost losing
figure for the makers and that there was
and long prior to the passage of the bill
had been an effort to stiffen prices to secure
some small return to the manufacturers,
and this will be done.
The clothing men answered that their
prices remained the same. On a few very
fine grades of woolens of import there
would be raise of few cents but those
goods are worn only by the few, and the
tariff did not affect the trade, therefore
appreciably, but tailor-made suits cost no
more now than last summer. The crock
cry men responded that there had been no
increase of prices by them, and they saw
no reason to make prices sitter. The to-
baceo men admitted that on fine imported
cigars there would be presently stiffening
of prices, but presently, also, there is to be
abandoned considerable internal revenue
tax on tobaccos. The rise was all on the
luxuries of smokers, but even then it was
not nearly so great as had been repre-
scented.
All the dealers said that they knew of
houses in other cities that had made the
new bill pretext for putting up prices
where there was not particle of reason
for the action, precisely, by the way, as has
been done in Sacramento, in few in
stances, as mere catch-penny device. The
Chicago Inter Ocean made a similar can
vass in that city and with the same result
that attended the research of the Roches-
ter Journal 1t found that in few lines
of luxury there will be a slight increase of
price, but as a rule articles in general use
viii undergo no change. The Chicago
Tribune also sent out its reporters to inter-
view all classes Of dealers, and the result
was the same as the Inter Ocean found it

TO PREVENT ESCAPES.
A Gordon of Locomotive Headlights for
the Prison Walls.


the Prison Walls.
The State Prison Directors have hit upon
a new plan to aid in the prevention OF
escapes by convicts at the Folsom Prison.
According TO the Telegraph, about fifteen
locomotive headlights arrived there last
week for the prison. They have been set
in positi on along the wall of the canal, and
some of them have been put up on the
opposite bank, on the roof of the prison
building, and about the grounds. They
are lit early in the evening and shed
enough light to brighten the surroundings
of the rison yard, so that everything can
be plainly seen.
The headlights have been put in as pre-
caution against escape. Heretofore the
prison grounds have been without much
light, and once in the yard il was an easy
matter for q prisoner to slip away and elude
detection. a guard has been stationed on
the dam and remains there all night.
Other guards have also been put on duty
about the place at night.

FRANK. HURD, the noted and outspoken
apostle of free trade, has this to say of the
reciprocity clause in the tariff bill: at
means freer trade than ever before, and
the loosening of the restrictions which
prevent trade. While, as a free-trader, l
am in favor of the abolition of all tariff
duties, and the assertion thereby of the
right to trade with all countries, l am
willing, if I canuot get that, to get the
right to trade with the people of a partic-
ular country"

JUDGE SIMONS DEAD.

One of the Earliest Settlers in st.
Paul Joins the Great Majority.
Judge Orlando Simons died yesterday
at his residence, $50 Dayton avenue.
There are thousands in st. Paul to
whom the name of Judge Simons is prob
ably unknown, but to all the earlier set
tiers in the city and throughout the
state he was not only well but favorably
known. His death makes another in
road into the reduced ranks OF those
hardy men who, in the fortieS, BRAY
ing hardShipS. hunger and death.
came West and established the
city of st. Paul. In the early
history of the city Judge Simons was
prominent character. He settled here
i'll lS49, accompanied by Henry +. Mas
terson. Both men were carpenters by
trade, and before arriving in st. Paul
made solemn VOW 20 stand OF fall to-
gether, and though not related, they
were closely bound to each other by the
strongest ties of friendship. They cahe
from New York TO Chicago by water,
and hired a farmer to transport their
baggage to the Mississippi river. it being
stipulated THAT when the walking was
good they might ride; when it was bad
they must walk" When they arrived
in st. Paul Judge SimoHS went To work
as carpenter. while Masterson entered
a saw mill at st. Anthony Falls. The
two subsequently were employed by the
government in building fort Oh the
frontier. They returned on the edge of
winter with plenty of money, then open

Simons. the partnership continu-
ing for twenty-five years. Judge
oh r,f
in 1850. and, four years later, became
the first city justice. He was appointed
district judge in 1875, and subsequent
ly was elected to the judgeship at a con-
tested election. He retained the posi-
ton to the time of his death, though, Of
late years, he has not sat regularly on
the bench. His ply Sical Affections have.
kept him from the judges chair, and
neceSSitated lengthy visits to a less
rigorous cline than that of Minnesota.
A pen sketch of Judge SimonS runs:
He acts promptly, decides promptly,
moves promptly, though with long,
measured strides, and talks promptly.
He possesses good judicial mind, and
Is fearless in the discharge of his duty.
He lives within himself. has no faculty
to make money, mixes but little i'll
society, gets Down to the bottom of any
question. and his decisions are very
generally acquieSced in as correct.
When city justice he made the fur
fly but now as judge he is cool, digni-
fed, courteous"
The failure OF the judges health for
many months will have prepared his
many friends for the announcement of
his death. No arrangements have.been
made as yet for the funeral. His de-
mise creates vacancy in the Ramsey
comfy bench, which will have to be
filled by Gov. Merriam.
