FIFTH DISTRICT INDEPEND.
ENCE.

The farmers of the Fifth district have
gone and done it. They are of opinion
that they can tend their own political
crop this year, and in pursuance of that
idea have nominated candidate for
congress and will put their own legis-
lative ticket in the field.
1t is the most spirited exhibition of
independence on the part of Minnesota
farmers that we have yet witnessed. and
we cannot refrain from wishing them
God speed. Every other interest takes
care of itself in politics except the agri
cultural interest, and we have never
understood why the farmers were not
more alive to their own affairs.
The Fifth district, one of the richest
agricultural sections in the Northwest,
presents the anomaly of being repre-
scented in congress by railroad attor-
ney and a representative who sticks to
the high protective doctrine through
thick and thin. What makes this anom-
ally more striking is that the former
representative from that district. al
though Republican in politics, had
the courage to burst party ties and to
defend the interests of his constituents
at the risk of being read out of his
party.
1t is full time that the Fifth district
was getting back to its ancient moor
ings. The people up that way want a
representative in congress who is lden-
titled with the leading interests of the
district; and what is more, they propose
to have such representative. Whether
Mr.. HALVERsoN is elected or not, it is
pretty certain that Mr.. CoMsTocK will
not be the next representative.

RUSTY MACHINE.

The governors nominating machine
needs oiling; that is, if the Market hall
exhibition yesterday is fair sample of
its working condition. There was a
curious contradiction of affairs, how
ever, which may account for the appar-
ent friction. 1t so happened that some
of the governors hired men, who are
employed in setting I'D the nominating
pins, held grudge against the gov
ernor's ''pap-fed parasite" organ, and
they thought this would be good time
to deal a back-handed blow at the afore-
said organ. The result was an unex-
pected ruction where everything had
been billed for harmony. Ofcourse the
meeting was squelched and the mutt
neers relegated to the rear, but it shows
the folly of attempting to keep mon
key and parrot in the same cage, or of
relying too confidently on hired help.
But, in the end, the machine ground
out it's grist, and Ramsey county Re-
publicans will be represented in the
state convention by a delegation who
will represent one mans interest eX-
clusively, and without regard to what
the public interests may require. There
will be more or less discomfort among
Republicans on accout of it, yet the
kickers will probably do as they have
been accustomed to doing, submit to
the power of the machine, and pay sub
servient homage to the bosses who
run it.
And yet we sometimes talk about this
being country where intelligent free
men are their own rulers.

THE TIN DUTIES.

The South Dakota senators, perhaps
supported by all the Dakota delegations,
propose to amend the MCKINLEY bill
by adding duty of 80 per cent on block
tin for the benefit of the mines the Eng
lish syndicate is to develop in the Black
Hills. 1t has been claimed that these
mines are so rich and easily worked that
they need no protection, and this is UNI
questioned; but the people in the Da-
kotas are, perhaps, eager to pay more
taxes. The tin plate association wants
all the protection, and will not probably
consent to this. The modest claim is
for IA per cent duty, and the 80 on the
ore would make 104 per cent raise-all
to develop unborn industries. There

CENSUS TROUBLES.

A number of our Western cities are
in furry of excitement over the poor
showing that the census returns are
likely to make. especially where there
is reason to believe that the enumer-
ators have not performed their duties
diligently and faithfully. Only one day
more of census taking remains, and
there is quite hub-bub i'll those locali-
ties which imagine they have been
sighted. There has been no stir in st.
Paul, for the reason that our people were
confident that the census takers would
do the work fully and impartially, and
we were content to abide by the show
ing that would be made under such Cir
cumstances. While we have reason to
believe that in the main the st. Paul
enumerators have consclentiously per-
formed their duty, still, instances have
been brought to public attention where
the work was sighted; and it is possible
that other cases will yet be brought to
light. Owing to the construction that
he places upon the law, the local super
visor does not feel Justified in correct
Ing the mistake of an enumerator
without positive instructions to that
effect from the census bureau.
Still, all citizens who are aware
of mistakes, or have knowledge
that the work of census taking has been
sighted, should Immediately bring it to
the attention of the census supervisor,
whose Office is in the chamber of COM
merce building.
st. Paul does not want any padding
of its census returns, but we do want
the full measure of justice. That much
we are entitled to. and we will press
our demands for it.
In some cases it may have been the
fault of the people themselves that full
census statistics are not forthcoming.
There are great many persons who did
not feel like performing gratuitouSly
work that ought to be done by the gov
eminent employees, and failed to take
the time to fill out the blanks that were
left with them. In other cases the
blanks may have been filled out and the
census officers failed to call for them
If so, it is not too late yet to turn them

sent to his Office to-day.
We are of opinion, however. that the
chief bother in census taking this year
results from having an incompetent
man at the head OF the census bureau
at Washington. Superintendent WALK
ER's methods of taking the census ten
years ago were in pleasant contrast
with the bungling fashion of census TAX
ing this year. There are so many RI
diculOus questions propounded this year
the average citizen grows weary of list
ening to them. Then, too, the emu
merators are underpaid, and it is always
difficult to get high class work done at
low class wages.
If the census of 1890 is not as com.
plete and satisfactory as the census OF
1880, it will all be because the admins
tration at Washington was more anX.
ious to gather statistics supporting the
high tariff policy than it was to ascer
tain the real wealth and resources of the
nation.
All that our st. Paul people ask is the
truth, but they want the whole truth.
A fair aud full census will show for us
the most marvellous growth in the last
decade that an American city ever eX-
hibited.

LAST STAGE OF GROGGINEsS.
The Tory Government of England
Is In ExtremiS.

Is In Extremis.
LONDON, June 13.-The Tory leaders
are furious over the addition to the
troubles of the government by the action
of Home Secretary Matthews in regard
to the police, and the bitter feeling in
creases hourly as the matter is discussed
and its full import is laid bare. The
rank and file of the Conservative party
are even more incensed than the lead
ers and are disposed to be mutinous. In
the present state of popular feeling.
along with the serious parliamentary
detection, the government sees the alb
SOiute necessity. as matter OF self
preservation, of enforcing the SuSpen-
sion rule, whose proposal in yesterdays
caucus caused so much dissatisfaction.
Should division now be taken on any
one of the important measures which the
ministry desires TO carry over till next
session without reintroducing them,
the result would most assuredly be dis
astrous to Lord Salisbnry'S government.
and the suspension scheme is therefore
an imperative necessity. The addl-
tional length of cordage it has forcibly
taken is now so inextricably entwined
about the neckS of the ministry that
the hanging process seems not far OF.
AS though this were not enough, the
mercantile portion OF the community is
raising great cry against the unjuSti-
able severity of the structures which
Postmaster General Raikes has put
upon the postmen, the effect of which
is already apparent in the character of
the postal service, which In some direc-
tons is so seriously hampered as to be
almost entirely useless. The pressure
which is being brought to bear upon
Mr.. Raikes by the merchants is causing
that gentleman much uneaSineSS and
aggravating the anger of his col
leagues. The Star declares this even
ing that the government is in the last
stage of grogginesS, and this feeling is
pretty generally shared by its opponents.
L. p. O'Connor's interest in the Star
has been purchased by his partners in
the enterprise, the price paid being
G15.000. The terms of the transaction
include a stipulation that Mr.. O'COnnOr
shall not start another paper in London
within three years notice. 1t is stated
that Henry M. Stanley will sail for New
York with his wife Oct %. Mr.. Stanley
has concluded arrangements to deliver
fifty lectures in the United States dur
ing the fall and winter. For the lectures
delivered in New York he is to receive
$4,000 and for each lecture thereafter,
in the various cities, he is to receive
92OO. The socialists of Manchester
have called meeting for next Sunday
to protest against the action Of the cor
poratiOn of that place i'm extending to
MI. Stanley the freedom of the city.
A number of Russians, Danes and
Swedes have been expelled from Altoona,
Prussia. because of their inability to
produce satisfactory Identification
papers. The action of the authorities
has created some excitement. The
German wool markets are glutted with
that product and prices are conse-
quently falling. :.

BEER BARREL FIGURES.

The official statistics of the conSump-
ton of beer in this country, recently
made public, afford suggestion or two.
The people in the South are not among
the heavy drinkers. Iowa drinks more
beer than Tennessee, Virginia. Texas
or Georgia. Neither of the Southern
states has a state prohibition law, as
Iowa has. That fact alone does not
seem large enough to make up the
difference. Those Democrats down in
Texas ought not to fall behind the Iowa
prohibitionists if the theory is to be
continued that the Democrats are the
liquor guZzlers of the country. Then
Louisiana doesn't drink as much as Con-
necticut, and Rhode Island drinks
more beer than any one of ten South
ern states. Still more surprising, Kan
sas, where Republicans have been
doing about all the voting, and, proba-
bly,, their full proportion of the drink
ing, made more business for the brewers
last year than six Southern states
combined. There might be an in
ference drawn about here that pro-
hibition doesn't prohibit to any ex-
travagant extent. 1t is much easier
to see the things thatpertain to the beer
business than to the whisky, and it may
be presumed that the prohibitory states
are as much ahead of the South in
whisky as in beer. 1t has been shown
heretofore that the use of whisky is
growing less, and the less alcoholic
beer is taking its place. There was an
increase last year of 6 per cent. Think
of Massachusetts drinking 100000
barrels of beer in year, Illinois
100000. and New York over 5000, 900.
What food that would make poured
out at once AS it seems inevitable

FAYORs THE FOREIGN.

Perhaps the critics of the new tariff
nave not given high enough apprecia-
ton of the rebate feature as an encour-
agement to those who would send Amer
lean goods abroad. When the manu-
facturer brings in raw material from
abroad and utilities it in making articles
for export, rebate of a part of the duty
he has paid has been returned to him on
exporting his goods. This rebate is
raised to 80 per cent in the bill being
passed. and MCKINLEY pointed with
pride" to it as knock-down to those
who clamor for free raw material. One
of the largest-perhaps the largest
items of this rebate has been on tin
plate, as that is not made in this coun-
try. This amounted last year to S1,911,-
Ill, and out of this more than $500. 200
went TO the Standard oil trust. This is
an infantile industry that needs gen.
tie but lavish fostering. If the Nc
KINLEY bill passes it Will be able to
save about 100000 in rebates. This
is nice little sum, and the Standard
will be encouraged. 1t is not seen ex-
actly how this system builds up the
home market or helps the consumer.
There is no drawback for the party who
uses the tin-plate OH his house, or for
canning fruit, or any of the varied uses
of the plate. All the effort is to benefit
the man who buys abroad. This isn't
exactly what has been understood by
protection. The home consumer is to
be taxed Tor the benefit of an industry
that has no plant in this country. But
this rebate can be taken advantage of
by few manufacturers, generally those
like the Standard Oil, that could get
along without aid. Most of them have
complication of materials, and it is
frequently impossible to Identify the
imported. The American farmer is en-
titled to as much favor from the manu-
facturers and government as the foreign
purchaser.

Smith and Matthews to Be Sheived
Soon.
LONDON, June 13.-It is learned upon
excellent authority that in the event of
the resignation Of w. III. Smith from
the Office of first lord of the
treasury, and consequently from the
leadership of the government party in
the house of commons, Lord Harrington
will doubtless succeed him. Should
Mr.. Matthews resign the home Secre-
taryship, he will be succeeded by Sir
Henry James. The government has
consented to the appointment of COM
mittee to examine into the question of
compensation in connection with
the licensing bill, and to re-
port what is proper compensation.
The Chronicle praises Lord Salisbury's
moral courage in allowing the appoint
ment of committee, and in allowing
Mr.. Heneage'S amendment preserving
to the magistraey the power to cancel
licenses without giving compensation.
The Chronicle says these notifications
of Mr.. Goschen's odioUs proposals to
endow the publicans will remove any
further excuse for ODstructing.
