opPREssIvELY HOMES T.

While the MCKINLEY bill is about as
iniquitous and oppressive tariff meas
ure as could be proposed, it is honest
politics. 1t is a fair Interpretation
OF Republican sentiment, and fits as
squarely into the Chicago platform as it
Is possible to make it. The Republican
platform, upon which HARRISON was
elected, promised "a tariff for protec-
ton with incidental revenue" That
was just the reverse of the Democratic
platform, which promised ia tariff for
revenue with incidental protection"
The issue between the two parties
was plain and unmistakable. So we
cannot comprehend why Republican
papers like the Chicago Tribune and
the Pioneer Press are finding fault with
Maj. MCKINLEY for presenting tariff
bill that is in perfect harmony with the
promises of the Chicago platform.
1t is true that the MCKINLEY bill does
not suit our Western people. 1t is hos
tile to every Western interest, and will
increase the burthens that are already
too heavy to be borne. During the last
campaign we undertook to impress
upon the people of this section the folly
of committing the delicate task OF tariff
revision to a party that was pledged by
its platform to the protection pol
icy. 1t has come to pass just as
we predicted. There is to be no
tariff reform, but instead a heavy
increase of tax burthens. But that
is what the voters had right to
expect when they supported the Repub-
lican ticket. 1t would have been dis
honest if the Republican majority of the
committee Oh ways and means had not
agreed upon just such cast iron pro-
lection bill as they have reported, and
the Republican congress will be dis
honest if it does not adopt the measure.
We like honest politics; therefore we
commend Maj. MCKINLEY for standing
squarely on his party platform.
Rut we do not like the Republican
platform, and hope to see the passage OF
the MCKINLEY bill produce reaction
that will force the Republican party to
relinouish control of national affairs.
Still, we see no reason why the Chi
cage Tribune or any other Republican
paper should quarrel with the Repub-
lican majority in congress for giving an
honest Interpretation of the Chicago
platform. That is what the Republican
majority is there for. When the DEM
ocrats get into power they will enact
such a tariff law as the Western people
are clamoring for; therefore the West
ern people should help put the Demo-
Gratis in power. They will never get.
what they want until they do.

SHOULD BIZ A LIMIT.

Some very intensely partisan Repub-
lean papers are not quite satisfied with
the action of their party in congress in
rushing in new states without regard to
anything but partisan advantage. The
st. Louis Globe-Demecrat thinks 1t
would be well to have some minimum
of population fixed. 1t is not an I'M
reasonable requirement that candidate
for statehood should approximate LII It's
population the ratio for member OF
congress, with some assurance that the
state would keep within range of the
ratio of the future, as the figures enlarge
each decade. The present requirement
for representative in congress is
$4,000. After the coming census it is
expected that it will be not less than
175,00O. and may be very much greater.
Wyoming, which is being pushed into
the Union, is not believed to have over
65, 600 population. If Miss ANTHONY is
correct in saying that it has but
1000 women, the estimate of popu-
lation should be put much lower.
She is probably in error, as 1900 female
votes have been reported cast there at
some election. But it is immaterial as
to the exact fact in relation to that OF
any other territory desiring to become
state. The point urged is more as to
the future than to the present. Nevada
is an illustration of inattentiOn and lack
of information as to the probabilities OF
the future. 1t will be good fortune,
rather than the exercise of wise discre-
ton, that will prevent a repetition OF
that blunder. The larger states have a
right to know whether the dispropor-
ton in representation in the law-nlak-
ing body is to be increased in all the
future or gradually lessened. Ii new
state has but handful OF population,
while Minnesota has a million and
half, will it have much more than
handful when this state has its five
millions? Each state has an equal
voice in making national laws, as the
senate must pass all bills; and, when
the election of a president goes to the
house, each state has the same vote.
1t is unwise to entirely disregard this
ineuujty in Statemaking.

A DOUBTFUL QUESTION.

IL looks very much as if Gov. HOARD,
of Wisconsin, and his partisans were
inviting personal and party disaster in
insisting that the state election shall be
waged on the issue that has just top
pied 1900 majority on them in Milwau-
kee. The expectation of these gentle
men is that in long campaign over the
state the public mind can be filled with
the idea that there is an attack on the
public school system involved, and much
of the sectarian and nationalistic preju-
dice made to do service. Campaigns
that antagonize citizens on religious.
sectarian OF race lines bring all the bad
blood to the surface, and are to be dep
recated. 1t is, perhaps, true that the
Republicans are taking this tack to
avoid the issue of tariff relief, which is
the true one. They may be able to
blind the mind with question that has
no business in the field, and is distorted
out of its true character. 1t is not at all
certain that the Democrats will take up
the challenge over the school matter, or
that it would be iudicious to do SIS,

uLINoIs GETTING RIGHT.

All the counties in Illinois except the
few that have not adopted the township
system elect their boards of supervisors,
in which every town has member, the
first Tuesday in April. These are not
always chosen Oh party lines, but in
the large majority of counties they are
pretty fair indications of party strength.
At the elections Tuesday there was a
prevalent drift to the Democrats that is
very significant in view Of the state
campaign soon to be inaugurated there.
The increase of the strength of the
Democrats means that they have reason
able grounds for their claim that they
will carry the state this year. General
interest attaches to this year from the
fact that it will involve gains in con-
gressmen, and render it reasonably GER
tain in the presidential election. Then
it will determine seat in the United
States senate, and give an impulse to
the movement for bringing the senator
near to the people. So far as Democratic
county conventions have been held they
have in every instance Endorsed the pro-
posal to present the choice for senator
in the state convention, and have
named Gen. PALMER as their selection.

HOW 1T OPERATES.

Protection stimulates competition, and
this causes reduction of prices, SO that
they become lower than they would be
without protection. This is the familiar
claim made in behalf of duties that pre-
vent the introduction of articles manu-
featured abroad. A Minnesota man in
Europe last year arranged with his
brother in New York to simultaneously
buy at retail certain quality of refined
sugar in London and New York and
compare prices. The New York man
paid niue cents and his brother in Lon
don six and a half, adherence of nearly
so per cent. The buyer in London also
found that his purchase was the product
of the refineries in New York, just as
was that of his brother. There was
no claim that a fair profit was not
realized on the shipment to London;
still it could be sent 5000 miles ard sold
at more than 30 per cent less than by
the home trade. Ii it is insisted that
the difference was due to trusts, the

ant.
There was another habeas corpus
drama on the boards yesterday in the
district court, in which well-dIessed,
good-looking young woman, who Wept
several large tears during the progress
of the case; large, well-fed, we'll
dressed man, who wore short, dark
mustache, and talked in sporty dia-
lect; and a little curly-haired child of
three, who toddied about the court
room, tumbled the papers on the clerks
desk, smeared her fingers with ink, aud
conducted herself generally as children
will, were the principals. The woman
gives the name of Belle FO0te, and she
wants to get possession of little Ethel
Roper from Arthur Roper, alleging
that Arthur kidnapped the little one
from Sioux City last October. The two
do not claim that they were ever mar
ried, nor do they dehy that the child
belongs to them. Roper. however, al
leges that the woman is a dissolute
character and not fit to have the care CT
the child, while his having lived with
the woman for five years constitutes a
common law marriage and gives him a
proprietary interest in the little one. A
stay of proceedings until to-day at noon
was granted by Judge Hicks to give
Roper chance to prove this. AS Roper
left the court with the child he re-
marked: ''She came UP here to get the
child. but she won't do it. Fl bet
1900 to $500 she don't get it. and | amt
much of jaw-bone gambler either,
and wat say I'll back"
The habeas corpus proceedings begun
by Ira P. Rowley to secure possession
of his two-year-old child came up be-
fore Judge Young. Rowley is secre-
tary of Grand Rapids, Mich, insur-
ance company. His wife, with the
child, is now stopping at 45 South Sew
enth street, at the home of J. W. Camp
bell. Mr.. Rowley says that for the first
five years of their married life no one
could have been happier than he and
his wife were. Even now he would
like to take her home with him, and
does not desire to separate her from
her child, il she will only live where he
can see the little one at times. He says
that outside parties have unwarrantably
interested themselves in his domestic
affairs and have created all the trouble.
The case was continued until Monday.

HORSE EVOLUTION.

The rapid improvement in electrical
science, and particularly the application
of electricity as motive power, is Sc
rious disturbance to the horse-breeding
industry. The improvements in agri-
cultural machinery had long ago cur
tailed the uses of the horse as farm
animal, but the demand created for
horses by the growth and extension of
the street railway service IN the cities
within the last twenty years compen-
stated for the lessening demand for
horses in the rural districts. Now that
electricity is to become the motor power
for the street railways, the horse market
will undergo wonderful shrinkage,
because it is impossible to find a new
field for the display of equine utility.
The great decline IN the prices of horses
within the last three months results
chiefly from the anticipated glut of the
horse market in consequence of the
great number of animals that will be
thrown out of employment by the in
PRODUCTION Of electricity as street car
propeller. 1t now looks as if by the be-
ginning of another year there will not
be horse car in service in any of the
cities of this country. Everywhere
preparations are being made to use the
electric motor on the street railways.
1t has proved such an eminent success
in every particular, and is so much
more economical than either horse or
cable power, that it is destined to be-
come the universal power for street rail-
way service. 1t is estimated that any,
where from 10000 to $4,000 horses now
In use will be thrown upon the market,
and practically no buyers for them, be-
cause there are no places for them to
fill.
This makes the situationquite serious
for the horse breeders, and yet it need
not be altogether discouraging. They
will not have to go out of business, but
will simply have 10 reconstruct their
methods. The demand for the finer
grade Of horses will be as great or
greater than ever. Less attention will
have to be paid to the breeding of heavy
draft animals, and more to the rearing
of saddle and driving hors es. Beyond
the limited supply of dray horses
needed in the cities, and the wagon
teams on the farms, there will be no
further demand for the heavy draft an
imal. The electric motor in the city,
and the steam pillow and reaper and
thresher in the country, have obviated
the use of the horse as beast of bur-
then.
The horse of the future is to be a
fancy animal, clean of limb, nlmble Of
foot, stylish in carriage and spiIted
In order to possess the qualities to
make him salable he must be we'll

horse, SO dear to the recollection of
childhood days. is to vanish like all Of
cur other visions of youthful delight.

succumb to the pressing demands of
