OF Good and Bad in the Vaidis

The transition from Rhea to the Vaidis

JOINED TO THEIR IDOL.

The Minnesota congressman are out
spoken enough in their advocacy of
MCKINLEY's craZy-Quilt tariff bill. They
say they have few amendments to
offer, but they will support the measure
whether the amendments are adopted
or not. Representative SNIDER proba-
bly, expresses the disposition of the
Minnesota delegation when he says that
he will support any sort of tariff bill
that is recommended by the Repub-
lican majority on the ways and means
committee.
We are not surprised at the stand
taken by the Minnesota congressman.
They are Just where the GLOBE said
they would be when the time came to
take position on the tariff. The fair
promises made when they were candi-
dates are all forgotten III their blind
fealty to the party caucus. The admin
istration demands the passage of the
MCKINLEY bill, and that settles IT, with
out regard to who is helped OF who is
hurt by it. Minnesota Republicans
have the high authority of their leading
party organs for the statement that the
Mckinney bill is snare and a delusion,
and that its passage will be seriously
detrimental to all agricultural interests.
In fact, it needs neither authority nor
argument to convince the Minnesota
farmers of the truth. They have de-
clared the same through their alliance
organization and have listened to
an Interpretation of the same doc
trine from the Republican gov
ernor. speech that was applauded
to the echo. Go where you will
throughout the state and listen to the
farmers talk and you will hear but one
expression of opinion on this subject.
And yet the five gentlemen who are
representing the Minnesota conStltu-
ency in the lower house of congress,
and the two still more distinguished
gentlemen who occupy seats in the SEN
ate, are all united in their purpose to
support the tariff measure now before
congress. independent of what the home
folks say or think about it. In short,
they arrogate to themselves more wis
dom than is claimed by all the Mime
sofa people put together.
In most communities such arrogance
would be resented and rebuked, but we
hardly look for it here. Our farmers have
been Joined to the Republican idol so
long they seem to lack the moral eonr-
age to break away from the enthral-
ment their idol worship entails. They

LOCAL HIsTRIoNICs.
A Very Pretty Entertainment. at
Christ Church Guild House.


The entertainment given last even
ing at the guild house of Christ church,
for the benefit of the Chapel of the Mes
siah, was made up of some eXcellently
rendered musical and literary numbers,
N addition to which the pantomine,
Searching for Ha ppiness," was given
by the young ladies of the guild, as
sisted by Messrs. Holland and Chase.
The piece was very prettily put on, and
reflected great credit on those who had
charge of the preparation and rehearsal
as well as the participants. The young
ladies who took part were Misses Cole
man, Butcher, Slyke, Brown, Kellogg,
Lizzie Cope and Blanche Butcher. This
was followed by the farce 1.-THE Only
Young Man in Town." in which
Mr.. Chase assumed the role of
Mr.. Brown, new arrival IN
a Pennsylvania burg from which all
the Young men had fled for the superior
opportunities of the West. The advent
of MIR. Brown caused thirst for con
quest among the pretty girls OF said
burg, who were represented by Misses
Coleman, Butcher. Myers, Lanes. Chase,
Slyke, Butcher, Crosserly and Kellogg.
The bashful Brown was invited every
where, feted, admired and adored by all
the girls in the village, to his evident
embarrassment. The play ended in the
flight of the adored one and the despair
of the adorers. The programme opened
with an instrumental selection from I'll
Trovatore'' by Mrs. Chase. Miss Cole
man sang very sweetly 1.-THE Day Is

THE WINDMILL WAR.

A new CERvANTEs could find splen-
did field for his Satirical wit in our
municipal campaign. For since Don
Quixote's famous tilt with the wind
mill there has been no such ludicrous
passage of arms as the warfare now
being waged between Col. A. K.
KIEFER. the Republican candidate for
mayor. OIL the one side, and the i'm
perious editor of the Pioneer Press on
the other, who assumes the role OF
party dictator and commander-in-chief
of the battalion of royal kickers. 1t is
a bloodless combat, and all the more
entertaining on that account; for the
combatantS maintain show of earnest
ness and bloodthirStineSs that would
add spice to Comanche duel, while at
the same time both appear to have their
eyes cast backyard in search of safe
line of retreat.
In the meantime the voters are study
ing the situation with more seriousness
and are rapidly making up their minds
to prevent a recurrence of such ridicu-
lous scenes in municipal election by
ignoring the whole Republican outfit
and casting practically solid vote for
the ticket which is without fear aud
without reproach. The shape affairs
have taken in the Republican organiza-
ton is disgusting to the reputable ele-
ment of the party, and they will not be
slow or modest about giving expression
to their disgust on election day. 1t will
be a clean sweep for SMITH and the
entire Democratic ticket. and then after
the election is over Col. KIEFER and the
Pioneer Press will have ample time to
empanel their venire to ascertain the
amount of damages each has suffered
from loss of character during this cam
naign.

NEW LIST OF GRIEVANCES.
Pittsburg Railroad Men Scale
I,own Their Demands.

PIrrsBuRG. April a9.-The supreme
council of the National Federation of
Railroad Employees met in this city at
10 O'Clock this morning. After several
hours passed in reviewing the action of
the local committee, the supreme coun
Gil drew up new list of grievances.
This list will be presented to the Off
cials of the railroads tomorrow by COM
mittees of employees of the respective
railroads, and not by, a gen
eral committee representing the
organization 1t is understood that
in the new demands the rate
for conductors will stand at the pre-
yious figures-2S cents per hour for day
conductors, and % cents per hour for
night conductors. The wages of brake
men have been scaled down from "a and
Is cents per hour to FL and % cents per
hour for day and night brakemen re-
spectively. The railroad officials inter-
viewed this evening state that they will
willingly consider any grievances sub
mitted by employees. The statement
Yesterday that the Baltimore d Ohio
railway had conceded the demands of
their men is officially denied.

SPOTLESS THEY ARE.

Have you observed
That nobody has heard of BOB SMITH
going around hunting for a commission
of thirty-two gentlemen to give him a
certificate of character?
Neither has JOHN W. ROCHE,
Nor GEORGE REFS,
Nor any other candidate on the Demo
cratic ticket.
They are all honorable men, each
wearing his heart on his sleeve, and
their record is an open book for the in
spection of all.
1t doesn't require any stretch of con-
science or sacrifice of manly instincts
to vote for candidates like these. They
are gentlemen, all, in the best sense OF
the term, who have no shadow of Ques-
tionable business transactions towering
over their candidacy.
That is why we say,
Vote the Democratic ticket,
And vote it straight.

HOW 1T is.

Mr.. KIEFER wants character.
He wants the Pioneer Press to impro-
wise a commission to manufacture the
necessary outfit, and to do it quick.
The Pioneer Press wants KIEFER to
fix up his own commission, and thus
mould the character to.suit himself.
Ii K1EFER is suited. the Pioneer Press
promises to be.
But while this little private game of
bluff is going On between kIEFER and
his party organ.
The people have resolved themselves
into a grand commission of inquiry into
KIEFER'S character.
They will meet as grand body of in
quest in the several little booths dis
tributed throughout the city next Tues
day, and will render verdict that will
startle the conspirators.
They will do it by voting the Demo-
cratic ticket,
And voting it straight.

DE MoREs AN ANARCHIST.
The Erratic Marquis Languishes
in a French Prison.

Ill d TFtuCu iiSOus
PARIS, April 29.-Twelve anarchists
were arrested in this city yesterday.
Among those taken into custody were
the Marquis de Mores, his secretary, M.
MondacQ and NJ. Provost, secretary of
the hair dressers' union. A number of
additional arrests have been made at
various places throughout France of
persons who are charged with melting
the workingmen to riot and pillage OH
May l. Further arrests have been
made at Lyons of anarchists who
were endeayoring to incite workmen
to violence. The police of the
city visited the houses of a number of
suspects and seized explosives and a
number of letters from conSpiratOrs in
other cities. Forty more anarchists,
among them being an Italian who gave
his name as Capriana, were arrested in
this city to-day for attempting to create
disorders by workingmen. The an
archiSt committee has resolved that the
orders of the police for the regulation
of the demonstration Thursday will be
obeyed by the anarchists.
The Marquis de MOres was examined
and remanded. He is treated as first
class prisoner. He is charged with in
CitiiS HluIucIs DlildSe anu dISOll anu
revolt in the army. Soldiers revealed
the seditious pamphlets which led to his
arrest. 1t is stated that the Marquis
de MOres and friends were en-
gagged in plot to proclaim the
Duke of Orleans, with the assist
ance of revolving anarchists and Blan-
QUESTS who were melted by the pro-
tectiOnist spirit of the chamber of dep
uties as tending to increase the price of
necessaries. The potters counted upon
the neutrality of the higher grades in
the army, among which dissatisfaction
had existed because civilian was APP
pointed minister of war. The police as
Sert that the Rhone anarchists have
stores of dynamite cartridges concealed.
The Temps says the police discovered
in the house of the Marquis de MOreS
printed documents designed to inclte
Workingmen to disorder, and found in
M. Dumont's house secret press
manifesto urging the troops to mutiny.
They also aScertained that certain
anarchists intended to throw dynamite
in order to effect a bloody revolution on
May day. The arrests were made in
consequence of these discoveries.

PHYSICAL TRAINING.

Edwin Checkley, the originator of a
new system of physical culture which
aims to do away with dieting and APP
paratus, has written book called "a
Natural Method of Physical Training"
in which the new system is described
for the benefit of those who wish to be
their own trainers. Physical training is
'sin the air." and Mr.. Checkley calls at
tention to the fact that the reports from
the athletic world indicate grievous
deficiency of some kind in many modern
systems of cultiyating bodily strength.
'sMuscle moulding schemes that
make men die in middle
life," says MIR. Checkley IN
his preface, ''may be pictorially in
tpresting and may sound heroic, but
thew are not for that wise average NOR
tai who simply wishes to feel light and
strong and, if need be, find himself
ready to safely enter Oh any physical
undertaking. Mr.. Checkley says he
thinks there is more ''straining'' than
..training'' in a good many popular
systems practiced in and out of the
college gymnasium, and insists that the
only remedy is more attention to
breathing, to the even development of
the Whole body instead of to muscles,
like the biceps on the upper arm. that

with the general strength. The
author declares that the aver
age man and woman is not using ma
iority of the muscles, and goes on to
detail in specific exercises how the sys-
tenn may be bnilt up by simple move
ments that require no apparatus and do
not interfere with the ordinary routine
of life. The book lays emphasis on
methods of reducing flesh without diet

wheels of the conqueror's chariot, that
she might have the opportunity to wear
golden chains.
Our congressman will come back
home after they nave voted for the NC
KINIEY bill and justify their votes on
the ground that it removed the tax
from jute and lowered it on sugar. But
they will fail to tell of the promised
bounty to the sugar growers and the re-
moyal of the tax from tobacco. How
ever, we will discuss all these things
with them when thew come back to take
the stump in vindication oftheir course.
1t is but just, however, to say, in being
false to Minnesota interests, our con-
gressmen are giving an exhibition of
oyaity to Republican principles. We
have had occasion to say heretofore
that the MCKINLEY bill is an honest
measure. in that it fnltilis the pledges
of the Chicago platform to maintain
''the American protective SYSTEM at
every cost. 1t is Square-toed protection,
and built exactly on the lines OF
the Pennsylvania idea. Its author
claims to favor tariff revision, but
scouts at the idea Of tariff reform, and
the bill is constructed according to his
own ideas.
Still, if it turns out, as it will in this
case. that the Minnesota delegation in
congress are in Washington to carry
Pennsylvania ideas into effect, it would
be an economic provision for us to dis
pense entirely with congressional rep
resentation and turn over to Boss QUAY
and the Pennsylvania gang the job OF
looking after Minnesota interests.
Practically, they do it anyway, so we
might save the national treasury the ex-
pense of paying the salaries of seven
gentlemen whose ambition is to act as
proxies for QUAY.

ERWIN'S EXEGESIs.

The Republicans evidently see their
mistake in not nominating Mr.. ERWIN
for mayor.
The essential qualification for a Re-
publican may orally candidate now is the
ability to jaw back, and swap billings
gate with the party organ. Mr.. ERWIN
has demonstrated that he is a full grad
uate in the art of retort, while the only
diploma that Candidate KIEFER carries
is the diploma of incapaclty.
The two factions of the Republican
party are saying mighty hard things of
each other, and they are probably sue
ceedlng IN convincing the public Of the
truthfulness Of all they say.
Which leads us to remark:
That the voters will vote the Demo
cratic ticket,
And will vote it straight.
