THE SUGAR CONVENTION.
Our Tariff Bill Aired in tho
Commons.

LONDON, May 2s.-In the house Of
commons to-day E. S. Hill asked
whether, in view of the opposition Of
American refners to the proposed abO-
lition of duties in America on sugars
below 16 Dutch standard, the govern
ment wonld relnvite the Washington
government to join the sugar conven-
ton. Sir James Ferguson. under for
eign secretary, replied that it was by no
means certain what would be the final
decision of congress on the tariff. There
was no ground to think that a renewal
of the invitation to the Washing
ton government to join the convention
would be successful. Sir Lyon Play
fair asked Mr.. Smith. the government
leader, to state whether the government
would ratify the convention before the
assent of parliament was obtained. Mr..
Smith replied that liberty must be re-
served to the government to act as
they thought necessary, in the event Of
other powers ratifying the convention.

The Difference.

Omaha Bee.
The decision is based on the interior
ence of the law with interstate COM
merce. The plain object of the act was
to exclude from the markets of Min
nesota all meats of animals not slaught-
cred in that state, and under whatever
pretext this was proposed to be done it
was clearly and Enthusiastically re-
pugnant to the, principle now
most fully defined, that a state
cannot prevent the importation
of the product of another state which is
a common article of commerce. The
right of Minnesota to establish any sys-
tenn eft inspection which might be
deemed necessary to protect her people
against Imported meats unfit for food is
perhaps unquestionable. That would
doubtless be regarded as legitimate
exercise of the police pewers of the
state. But the attempt to shut out
meat slaughtered in another state is
very different matter.

The Spring Crop.

Chicago Tribune.
The st. Paul chamber of commerce
has issued a bulletin stating that the
crisis in spring wheat is over for the
present. This means that the fall of
moisture has been sufficiently copious
over the greater part of the Northwest
within the last few days to remove ap-
prehension of crop failure from drought
in that region. The pluvial visitation
is all the more welcome for the severe
discouragements experienced by the
farmers there for two years. A good
crop the coming autumn would be a
real blessing, especially if it can
be sold at the better prices which
have recently prevailed for the cereal
in this and other markets. The only
thing that now remains to be feared as
preventing an abundant harvest is the
possibility that early frosts will catch
part of the grain before it has matured
after starting to grow in a late season.
But the next three months may go lar
towards placing the crop out of the way
of harm from this cause, and also give
to the people of that region reason for
rejoicing over much better yield of
other cereals than has hitherto fallen to
their lot. One of the best facts in the
improved prospects of the Northwest is
the greater Investigation of crop cult
ure, which has been inspired by the
idea that it was not well to depend alto
gether on wheat.

THE MORMON NEED.

In view of the recent decision of the
the EDMUNDs law, the saints should
see the wisdom of the suggestion here
tofore made, that their only way to
security was through new revelation
eliminating polygamy from their pro-
gramme. The reply that the practice
was adopted by divine instruction in
revelation and there is no way for
change except by new supernal legis-
lation, is unsatisfactory. The top notch
fellows in the thing know that they
can at any time secure another revela
ton quite as authentic as any they
have ever had. Polygamy is the head
and front of their offending. The
early Mormons and quite 4 present de-
tachment had no polygamy. Without
it there would be small chance
for the government to get an IN
friendly grip upon the Mormon
neck. But this decision looks like tax
ing the wind out of the system, at least
so far as it is great business enter
prise. The church holds vast amount
of property. perhaps millions. and has
generous financial streams coming in.
By this act that has now passed the
final ordeal, that church can hold only

Of worship and graveyards, all in eX-
cess being taken up by the government
and used for common benifcent pur-
poses. The government is made to con-
fiscate private property in the terrific
ries by virtue of its supreme authority
in territories. The minority opinion of
the court doubts the constitutional right
of congress to confscate the property
of corporations guilty of crime. 1t can
suppress polygamy and punish organ
lied rebellion, but not go to the radical
extreme of confscation. Even yet a
revelation putting out polygamy may

REED MAY GO,

Speaker Tom REED has tried the role
of the autocrat in congress, and it is not
surprising that the Democrats who have
been his victims are inclined to COM
placency when section of the political
rainbow Mr.. BRICE used to allude to
seems to drop down on REEDS district
This this the Portland one, which has
always been the closest and most holly
contested in Maine. Rec D has carried
it at the seven last elections, but always
by squeeze, except in 1888, when he
had 2, 139 plurality from special reasons.
The Republican convention to nominate
REED has been called for June 5, show
ing that long, hard summers job is
anticipated to elect him. The Demo-
Gratis have a strong man in that district
and propose to make a straight tariff re-
duction fight. There is a large industry
there in canning fish and fruits, and this
will be affected by the increased
duty on tin plate. The manufacturers
of iron and steel need free ore and coal,
which are convenient in the Canadian
provinces. Their business is being
driven away to Pennsylvania. 1t would
be victory worth hard work to lay out
the car in his ancient fortress. The
original package matter is expected to
cut some figure in the campaign also,
but the thing the Democrats have most
to fear is the use of money. The Re-
publicans refused to adopt the Aus
tralian ballot, and will rely on their old
methods. From the statements of a
correspondent of the New York Times,
it seems that it has been the regular
practice of the Republicans to buy from
10 to 25 per cent of their voters in the
towns. The local committees furnish
lists and prices, and the fat fryers send
in the money. 1t is an exact business
matter. 1t would be notable political
season that made stiffs out of REED
and MCKINLEY.

What Was Expected.

Chicago Herald.
The setting aside of the Minnesota
dressed-beef law was only what any
sensible and disinterested person might
have expected. The court justly holds
that, if the law were, in good faith, a
necessary sanitary precaution, it would
probably be valid, but that the sanitary
feature is, in fact, mere preteXt for
obstructing interstate trade. The law
reminds one of the remark of Congress
man Butterworth, in his recent speech
against the Mckinley bill, that if ma
tional protective tariff was blessing, it
would be an additional blessing to have
different sections of the country adopt
protective tariff against each other. For
the Minnesota law is nothing more nor
less than state protective tariff on
dressed beef.

DRESSED BEEF.
The Supreme Courts Decision as
Viewed by the Press.


Viewed by the Press.
Chicago Post
After a few more decisions Of this
character by the highest tribunal in the
land it is possible that the fool legisla-
lures of the states-and especially of
the Western states-will cease passing
laws which interfere with interstate re-
lations and commerce. The Minnesota
dressed-beef law, though ostensibly
passed in the interest of sanitation, was
thinly disguised attack on the meat
butchers of this city who, by superior
enterprise and skill, had been able to
invade the Minnesota market and
undersell the local dealers. At the
bidding of the latter the state legislature
did not hesitate to pass the hostile law.
The fact that the people of their state
were benefited by the importation of
cheaper meat from abroad was Of no
consequence; it was the meat lobby. not
the people, that had money to spend
where it would do the most good.
The decision of the court is proper
rebuke also to that too numerous class
who have grown into the belief that
every human ill, real or fancied, can be
cured by the enaction of some law.
There are too many laws already.

throngs to the nearest ports where pass
